Xia Xiaodong didn't ask Lu Chen what he had to ask.
"How many people are in the Wu Da family?"
This is what Xia Xiaodong asked.
"Four," Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course, he didn't just answer these two words, but introduced the basic situation of the Wu Da family of four.
Ask questions and answer questions.
A servant who cannot figure out his master's intentions while squeezing toothpaste is definitely not a good servant.
Wu Da's family consists of two elders and two young children.
The two elders are not very old, just middle-aged.
The two young children are both at a good age to work as errands.
It's just that because they are born in the same family, they are not very well-raised by the two elders. .
Xia Xiaodong looked up at the sky.
The sky is clear and the air is clear, which is a good day for traveling.
Who wants to waste time worrying about Wu Da and his ilk?
"If you take it and sell it, how much money can you get for it?"
"" Lu Chen's heartbeat slowed down a beat.
The Lu family is a wealthy family.
Like other wealthy families, they would rather raise idle people than sell people to gain a bad reputation.
What's more, children born in the family will gain more trust because they are tied to relatives.
"Can't it be sold for money?"
Lu Chen didn't answer, and Xia Xiaodong was a little surprised.
It cost a lot to buy Lao Zhou's house in Yunchang Mansion.
"With four people, we can always sell about forty taels."
Lu Chen didn't dare not answer this time, and since he answered, of course he had to answer carefully.
"If sold alone, Wu Da, even though he is a man, is probably worth only twelve taels.
Her wife is quite capable and can cook, so she can have twelve taels.
The two younger ones, and the son cannot do hard work at the age when he has a big appetite.
It can only be sold for eight taels.
My daughter is average-looking and is not wanted in the brothel.
If she is still a maid, she will only be worth five taels. " Xia Xiaodong nodded: "Then let them take eighty taels to redeem themselves.
If they can't get it, sell it."
"Eight, eighty taels" Lu Chen couldn't remember it: "The market price has doubled."
"Yes," Xia Xiaodong said with a smile: "They left us before, so they should be regarded as escaped slaves, right.
But since they escaped to the Lu family, they can be considered excusable.
Charge them more, It’s just a matter of past mistakes, so I won’t pursue them anymore.”
"If you don't want to, or you don't have the money, there's nothing wrong with selling it."
Xia Xiaodong said, standing up and preparing to enter the house: "Anyway, they don't want to stay here, so it would be nice to change the owner."
Until Xia Xiaodong changed his clothes and walked out again, Lu Chen was still standing there thinking about this matter.
Double the value is actually not much, but it is not a lot.
Take Wu Da as an example.
His original monthly income is one tael, and he can earn several hundred extra dollars every month.
He has food and accommodation in the house, and his clothes for all seasons are made by the sewing room.
If he really wants to save money, he should It can be saved.
But you have to pay for things like drinking, gambling, money and favors.
How much is left in the end makes a big difference.

Some servants may not seem to be of high rank, but they belong to the Pixiu family.
They can only enter and exit, but they have many private rooms.
Some of them look glamorous and respectable, but in fact they don’t have much wealth.
But for the servants of the big house, the most important thing is their identity.
When you go out to buy things and do errands, you can tell me that I am from the Lu family.
Anyone who dares to bully someone casually can sneak into the master's side, and even gain a lot of benefits by pretending to be a coward.
Lu Chen couldn't help but trembled.
This girl Xia looks gentle and generous, and everything is easy to discuss.
In fact, the request for double the value is clearly to drain the Wu family and throw them out to fend for themselves.
She is still a ruthless person.
Xia Xiaodong didn't expect that Lu Chen could come up with so many connotations.
In fact, in her opinion, the thing couldn't be simpler.
It's impossible to redeem oneself at market price.
It means there is no punishment, so double it.
Xia Xiaodong, who had changed her clothes and retouched her face, didn't look outstanding, she was just a girl from a well-off family with an average appearance.
"If you want that kind of two-person green-covered carriage, I'll take Mumu out for a walk."
This is not the first time Xia Xiaodong has gone out.
Since Lu Yunzhi moved back to the Lu family's mansion, it has become more and more convenient.
He always has to go out for a walk every now and then.
"Yes."
Lu Chen responded, and couldn't help but ask again: "If you can't pay the price, do you really want to sell it?"
"Uh."
Xia Xiaodong paused for a moment before realizing that Lu Chen was talking about Wu Da's family: "It's really for sale.
If someone from the Lu family wants to buy it, the price will be double."
Lu Chen's face froze, he didn't dare to ask anymore, and hurriedly went to arrange the car.
Xia Xiaodong spent some effort to find the carpentry shop in Tianbei Alley that should be his own.
Although Tianbei Lane is not far from Moxiang Garden, the entrance of Mu Zhaotang is quite small.
I drove past and didn't see it.
I found it only when I came back.
Mu Zhaotang is sandwiched between two restaurants, which looks very awkward.
No wonder the fifth lady didn't feel bad about sending him away.
The three big characters on the signboard are all in official script.
They look simple and natural, and the wood is dark in color, obviously showing some age.
The man who now drives Xia Xiaodong and serves as his bodyguard is the old candied haws seller who followed Lu Xingsheng and captured Bai Er.
He is actually not too old, just in his early forties, and his name is Archi.
After asking Archie to drive the car outside the alley, Xia Xiaodong took Mumu into Mu Zhaotang.
There was only an old shopkeeper and a waiter in the shop.
"What do you two want to see?"
The waiter was wearing an off-white double-breasted coat, but he was a little listless.
When he saw a guest coming in, he reluctantly came over to say hello.
"Let's just take a look and call you if we need anything."
Xia Xiaodong waved his hand to indicate that no one would follow him.
The most annoying thing is the kind of store clerk who follows closely behind.
Just pick up something and enthusiastically introduce it for a long time without letting anyone take a good look at it.
"Okay, take your time and take a look."

The clerk said these words crisply and smoothly, obviously very happy that he didn't have to worry about it.
The old shopkeeper raised his head from the counter and glanced at the clerk dissatisfiedly.
He didn't say anything after all, but still lowered his head, as if he was settling accounts.
Xia Xiaodong first glanced at the items in the shop and found that they were quite unique.
Half of the shop was filled with stacked wooden tables and chairs.
These tables and chairs are all made in a style that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.
They do not take up much space when stacked.
The wood materials are just ordinary elm and willow, and they are all commercial goods.
In the other half, there are some daily products such as barrels, basins and even bowls and chopsticks.
The materials are ordinary, but the mortise and tenon joints are flat and tight, and the craftsmanship is really good.
The most surprising thing is that there are several wooden ornaments placed above one of the shelves.
They are all young monks with different postures.
They look solemn and charming.
It's just that these decorations are placed high and cannot be reached by guests.
They are also dusty and rarely cleaned.
"This," Xia Xiaodong pointed to one of the ornaments of a little monk wearing a yellow cassock meditating: "How to sell it?"
