Chapter 173: Please, Young Lady, Buy My Son Too
“By the way, you also need to buy a horse carriage and a coachman.” Walking to the door, Mo Ziyuan realized they had to walk to the real estate agency.
“Alright, buy.” Lin Xin had a lot of wool she had plucked from Grand Tutor Feng’s home in her space, so she wasn’t afraid to spend money, but just thinking about there being more and more people at home in the future made her a bit irritated, after all, she had things on her that couldn’t be seen by others.
“It’s fine, you’re the master of the home, if you don’t like having people around you, just don’t let them into your room.” Mo Ziyuan could easily guess what Lin Xin was annoyed about, so he said to her.
“Right, it can be like that.” Mo Ziyuan’s words were like a splash of cold water on her head, suddenly enlightening Lin Xin, her steps becoming much lighter, as she took Lin Nan’s hand by her side, “Come on, Older Sister will take you to buy good things.”
“Oh!” Although he didn’t quite understand why Older Sister suddenly became happy, Lin Nan still cooperatively showed a smile.
When they appeared together at the largest real estate agency in the capital city, all the head agents inside were stunned. Everyone in the capital city knew the Heir of Dingguo Duke Mo Ziyuan, and no one was unaware of his reputation for being cold-hearted and cold-faced, but today he had restrained all his sharpness and appeared with a young lady and a little boy, truly making everyone’s jaws drop to the ground and forget to pick them up.
“Young Master Mo, your esteemed presence honors us, we will certainly meet the Heir’s needs.” The head agent personally came over to receive them.
“Today this heir is accompanying this Miss Lin here, in a bit she will tell you the requirements, then you select some reliable people for her, don’t bring out any dirty or smelly ones to fool, got it?” Mo Ziyuan put on the airs of the Heir of Dingguo Duke and said to the head agent.
“Certainly, certainly, this one guarantees absolutely no recommendation of those unseemly things to the young lady.” The head agent nodded and bowed in assurance.
“Mm, then let’s start!” Mo Ziyuan turned his head and gave Lin Xin a subtle gaze.
Lin Xin held back her laughter and stated her requirements, the head agent smiled obsequiously upon hearing, “Young lady, please wait a moment, this one will bring out all the people who meet the requirements for you to select.”
“Alright, go!”
The head agent trotted off happily to fetch the people.
“Where do we go to buy the horse carriage? We also need to buy horses! Are the horses for pulling carriages and riding horses sold in the same place?” Lin Xin asked Mo Ziyuan.
“Didn’t you just say you wanted to buy a coachman? Have him select the horse carriage and the pulling horses then, and conveniently check his abilities, as for riding horses, I’ll take you to buy them later, guaranteed to be ones you like.”
“Alright!” Lin Xin agreed readily.
In the time they spoke, the head agent brought over dozens of men and women, had them stand in several rows, then said to Lin Xin: “Young lady, all the people who meet the requirements are here, you can take your time to pick.”
“Mm,” Lin Xin nodded, began observing these people, and found that the head agent really hadn’t fooled her, among these people except for a very few, the others had clear gazes, not looking like they would steal or play tricks.
As agreed before, Lin Xin selected two coachmen from those people, ten to take responsibility for miscellaneous tasks in the courtyard, two cooks, two young ones skilled in embroidery, one half-grown child to take care of Lin Nan, and six guards.
Finally, she set her gaze on a man with a scar on his face, pointed at him and asked the head agent: “What’s his background?”
The head agent’s gaze had a momentary complexity, then hid it and answered: “This person is also a pitiful one, he fled here with his wife and son, halfway his wife caught a serious illness, he sold himself and his son to get treatment for his wife but still couldn’t save her, the person passed away, alas!”
“Alright, take him too.” Lin Xin thought that someone who would sell himself to get treatment for his wife couldn’t be too bad, so she decided readily.
The head agent’s eyes lit up, he hurriedly waved to that man, “Young lady has a kind heart, she’s buying you, come over quickly and sign the contract, from now on follow the young lady and work well.”
Lin Xin raised her brow and glanced at the head agent, feeling like he was overly concerned about this person.
Who knew that man came over but didn’t rush to sign the contract, instead knelt with a “thud” in front of Lin Xin, kowtowed three loud “bang bang bang” heads in a row, when he lifted his head his forehead was somewhat red and swollen, “Please young lady buy my son too!”
“Your son?” Lin Xin frowned, looked at the head agent, “What’s the deal with his son?”
“Sigh!” The head agent slapped his thigh with a look of disappointment, said to Lin Xin: “His son is seven this year, originally a pretty good kid, quite handsome too, but because he wanted to be with his dad, he hasn’t been bought by anyone, unfortunately a few days ago he caught a cold, medicine doesn’t help, right now the child is almost done for.”
“Please young lady, the money to buy my son can be deducted from my wages, he doesn’t have many days left, I don’t want him to go alone and lonely, please.” The man touched his head to the ground, actually prostrated on the ground sobbing.
“Alas!” The head agent sighed, said to Lin Xin: “This person is this one’s fellow townsman, this one could tell young lady is a kind master, originally thinking to find him a good family to live well, but who knew…… alas! This matter is this one’s fault to young lady, young lady just don’t take this person.”
The man probably didn’t hold hope either, choked a few times then wiped his face and silently stood back in the group.
Lin Xin looked at the man, had the head agent bring his son over to see.
“Young lady,” the head agent hesitated, “His son’s illness is already very serious, afraid he’ll pass the sickness to young lady, otherwise just forget it!”
“It’s fine,” Lin Xin shook her head, “Bring the person out for me to see, no harm.”
The head agent secretly glanced at Mo Ziyuan, saw he didn’t object, hurriedly trotted to the back, soon brought out a child skinny like a matchstick, the child coughed while walking, voice hoarse, when breathing it was like a bellows huffing in his throat.
“Stone!” The man hurriedly ran over, nervously and carefully touched the child’s forehead, feeling the scalding temperature under his hand, his eyes showed thick worry and reluctance and despair.
Lin Xin went over and took the child’s wrist to check the pulse, seemingly taking the pulse but actually using supernatural ability to probe his body, found his lungs, windpipe, and throat all had problems, and very serious, if it continued like this probably just these few days he’d be gone.
“I’ll buy this child too, together with his dad and those people, how much total, calculate for me.” Letting go of the child’s hand, Lin Xin said to the head agent.
“Young lady, you, you really want to buy this, this child?” The head agent stuttered.
“Mm, buying, hurry and settle the account for me, I still need to take him to see the doctor!”
“Good, good, this one will go now.” The head agent quickly calculated the silver for Lin Xin, not sure if because she bought that father and son pair, he even proactively waived quite a bit of change.
“Young lady is a good person, even if Stone can’t make it don’t hold grudge against young lady, work well for her, got it?” As they were leaving, Lin Xin heard the head agent instruct the child’s father like this, she looked up at Mo Ziyuan’s side profile, just in time to see his thin lips curve into a nice arc.
