Chapter 967: Chapter 969: Set the Date (3)

Liuzhu hurriedly exited the dungeon door, quickly walked up to Cai Wei, kneeled on the ground, and kowtowed saying, "Liuzhu pays respect to the master, the master above, please accept my kowtow."

"Rise."

Cai Wei spoke indifferently and her eyes began to scan the crowd again.

Seeing that the one who bought Liuzhu was a lady from a good family, the women in the other cells knew this was definitely a good fate and rushed over as one, shouting, "Miss, buy me, buy me, my needlework is the best..."

"Miss, I can comb the most fashionable hairstyles..."

"Miss, I am especially good at cooking..."

Amidst the pressing crowd, Cai Wei suddenly saw Aunt Liao’s aged and haggard face; she clung to the railing and shouted, "Girl, buy my daughter and granddaughter. My daughter is literate and can help you with the account books, and my granddaughter is also a diligent and honest child, I beg you to buy them. I, an old woman, kowtow to you!"

Having said that, she truly kneeled on the ground and began to kowtow towards Cai Wei.

In the entire Duke An’s Mansion, Cai Wei had a measure of acquaintance with Aunt Liao’s family. Although it was a relationship of mutual benefit, Aunt Liao’s little granddaughter truly made Cai Wei feel compassion.

She thought briefly, waved her hand to summon the tooth granny, and ordered the tooth granny to bring out Aunt Liao’s family.

Aunt Liao thought that her daughter and granddaughter escaping the pit of fire was already lucky enough. She did not expect that not only would her daughter and granddaughter be redeemed, but also her daughter-in-law and the grandson in her daughter-in-law’s bosom would be saved altogether. Thereupon, she, alongside her daughter, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter, knelt down with a splash before Cai Wei, sobbing and repeatedly kowtowing to her.

"Thank you, Miss, for your great kindness. From now on, our family will work tirelessly like horses and cows to repay you..."

Cai Wei nodded, signaling for them to step aside. She then inspected and chose carefully, selecting five girls who looked honest and grounded. Including Liuzhu, both old and young, there were a total of ten people.

Upon leaving the dungeon and realizing that their buyer was Cai Wei, Aunt Liao, Liuzhu, and the group were overjoyed, crying and laughing while repeatedly chanting Buddha’s name.

For the ten people, Cai Wei spent a total of six hundred thirty taels of silver. She generously paid the money and collected the servitude contracts of these ten people, then left the Broker House with them. She temporarily settled Aunt Liao’s family in the Old House, and took the remaining six maidservants back to the manor.

Lady Du had also been planning to buy a few people back these days, but to her surprise, Cai Wei had beaten her to it and had already bought them. Although these maidservants all had ordinary looks, they seemed honest and sincere, showing that Cai Wei had put some thought into selecting them.

Lady Du was also very satisfied. Cai Wei called Fei’er over and told her that these maidservants were now hers, letting her pick two agreeable first-class maidservants for herself.

Fei’er was used to working hard in the countryside and was not accustomed to ordering others around, but she would soon be marrying into Duke Li Guo’s Mansion and would need a few attendants. Moreover, she had to quickly get used to being served, so she cheerfully stepped forward and chose Liuzhu and another clean and neat-looking maidservant to be her first-class maidservants, while the remaining four became second-class maidservants.

Cai Wei said, "Since they have become our maidservants, it’s not good to use their former names. Why not give them some names that roll off the tongue?" Fei’er laughed and said, "Older sister knows that I’ve read little and am the least skilled in these fancy matters. If you ask me to name them, I would surely pick names like Peach Blossom and Apricot Blossom, which would only invite ridicule. It would be better for mother or older sister to choose the names."
