That's enough. Let's end it here. It would be rude to continue.

Xu Mo was shocked.

If you say it's expensive, it doesn't seem so appropriate.

If you say it's cheap... I only have two guan left in my hand.

"What does a maid look like? Take me to see it."

With the idea that one should not be too extravagant even if he has money, Xu Mo asked.

The broker bowed and said softly, "Then please wait a moment, my lord. I'll go get the album." Not long after, he came back with a picture album.

"These are all maids." The broker opened it and revealed the appearance of the first maid. "This one is only sixteen years old this year. She has a lot of strength. She is very good at plowing fields and carrying manure."

Xu Mo didn't say anything and fell silent.

The woman in the album was broad-shouldered and looked strong and sturdy.

In short...

this is very different from the delicate and beautiful image in his mind.

He came here to buy maids, not really to do physical work.

The broker saw Xu Mo's dissatisfaction, and then flipped the page to reveal the second person: "This person is seventeen years old. Although she is a little ugly, she can do some carpentry work and is as strong as the second one."

Xu Mo still didn't speak.

The broker flipped the page to reveal the third person. Unlike the first two, the painter focused on painting this person with a layer of black ink.

"This is a child of a Kunlun slave." When introducing her, the broker's tone was calm, with a hint of disdain, "She is twenty-two this year, and can cook, but the price is very cheap, only four hundred coins."

There are also differences in high and low among these low-class people.

There are personal maids, kitchen maids, and rough maids. Of these, personal maids have a higher status. In some wealthy families, favored personal maids will even have maids to take care of them.

According to the classification, maids who can cook belong to the kitchen maids.

But…

In addition to the difference in ability and appearance, origin is also a problem.

As a child of a Kunlun slave, she belongs to the lowest class among the lowest classes.

She has great ability, but she has not been sold at such a low price for 22 years.

The broker knew that this would not attract Xu Mo's attention, and pretended to turn to the next page.

Xu Mo held his hand.

The broker was stunned, looking at Xu Mo in surprise, and was shocked.

Could it be that this extremely handsome man, even the most handsome man he had ever seen in his life, was actually interested in the offspring of a Kunlun slave.

"Let's exchange it for the album of personal maids." Xu Mo's voice was a little tired, "No need to look at it anymore."

He understood.

What kind of people are the rough maids? They only value ability, not appearance.

It is impossible to find Hongxiu, but it is still possible to find a few Tiexiu.

The broker smiled and nodded, not surprised. People who come to the brokerage to buy people for the first time are generally like this, they want to be cheap and good-looking.

He turned around and took out another album, which was much thinner than the one for the maid.

He opened the first page.

Xu Mo was shocked.

In the album was a cute little girl, who, judging from her appearance, was probably less than ten years old.

The broker introduced her, "This girl is six years old this year, has a first-class appearance, a good voice, and is quite smart."

Xu Mo once again held the broker's hand.

The broker smiled and nodded: "My lord, you have good taste. There are many people who like this girl. The price is not expensive, just three strings of cash."

"No, I don't like her." Xu Mo shook his head and said sincerely, "Is there anyone older?"

A six-year-old child.

although he did have the desire to be a landlord, he was not so cruel as to let a six-year-old girl work for him. The man smiled and shook his head: "My lord, this request is really weird."

"But... there is really one."

The personal maid is different from other maids. This is someone close to you. If you just buy an older one, you don't know what she has in mind. It's a question whether you can trust her or not.

Moreover... buying a little girl back can better train her and cultivate her into the way you want.

Therefore, most personal maids are girls, under ten years old. There are really few older ones . If they have good looks and good personalities, they will be bought back and trained since they were young. If they don't look good or have a bad personality... Oh, there are no bad personalities among the lowly class. They are all rough maids and full-time maids. Unless it is a good-class girl with good personality and appearance, she has to sell herself. But… a good-looking girl with a good character and appearance could have solved her problem by marrying a good man or marrying someone else as a concubine. Why would she choose to sell herself as a slave? It's rare, but it still exists.

The broker searched the album for a while and turned to the last page. It was a tall woman: "This one, she is sixteen years old this year. Her father owes a lot of money outside and wants to sell his daughter."

"She is old, but she still wants to be sold as a personal maid. She asked for two strings of silver. She has been consigned to us for a month, but no one is interested in her."

"But I have seen that girl. Her personality is not bad, but she is a little cold."

Xu Mo was a little moved: "Take me to see it?"

The broker nodded: "Then please go with me. This family is in Jinggongfang, and it will take more effort."

The brokerage is not just engaged in human trafficking.

What they do is actually an intermediary business.

House rental and sale, merchant registration, population is just one of the links - most of them are others who want to sell, and they are listed in their name. If someone wants to buy, the brokerage will take them to trade.

Jinggongfang is not far from the East Market, just under the southeast corner. Go out from the west gate and go around Anyifang.

Although this is the outer city, there are many dignitaries living here. Continue to walk around these spacious houses and courtyards. After passing a blue brick wall, there is a dilapidated house area. The mud wall is in sharp contrast with the gorgeous blue brick wall next to it.

When you arrive at the third house, which is also the most dilapidated courtyard in this area,

the broker raised his hand and knocked on the dilapidated door.

Then he pushed the door open without any hesitation, walked in, and shouted: "Liu Fu, where are the people!"

"I brought the nobleman to see your daughter, come out quickly."

There was a noise in the main house of the courtyard, and a thin, short man ran out, holding a little girl who was almost as tall as him in his hand.

"Brother Wang, I've been waiting for you to come." When the man saw the broker, his eyes lit up and he called out affectionately. Then he looked at Xu Mo, and the light in his eyes became even hotter. "Is this handsome man who wants to buy my daughter?"

"Look, she is pretty, clever, and a hardworking child."

As he spoke, he pushed his daughter out happily without hesitation.
