Lin Xuan Qi raised two fingers and said, "I’m here for two servant girls."
"Two... Two servant girls? Come have a seat." Fei Luo’s expression changed immediately, his lips curled up and he gave Lin Xuan Qi a smile.
"I have just the right servant girls for you. Two sisters just came in. Both are capable in handiwork." He said and poured Lin Xuan Qi a cup of tea.
He glanced back at the two workers standing behind him and shouted at them, "What are you waiting for? Get the young man what he wants."
The two workers quickly went back to the slave brokerage to get the sisters.
"Come have a seat." Fei Luo offered Lin Xuan Qi a seat this time.
Lin Xuan Qi sat down and took the teacup from Fei Luo.
"Your master seems to have a great need for servant girls." Fei Luo said and gave Lin Xuan Qi a wink.
"I’m not sure if you know but some masters have, how do I put it... very weird kinks."
Fei Luo thought that Lin Xuan Qi’s master might have some fetish for ’ugly’ women like Xue Cong.
That would be great as he would be able to offload more of these ’ugly’ ones, like the sisters he was about to present to Lin Xuan Qi.
Lin Xuan Qi cringed hard in his heart and gave Fei Luo an awkward smile.
What’s with this man’s insistence on masters having affairs with their servant girls?
He thought and reminded himself to be wary of the numerous masters he might meet later on.
"Move it." The workers came back with two young girls.
From their looks, Lin Xuan Qi figured that they were younger than Xue Cong.
The younger sister stood behind her elder sister, peeking out from the side of her elder sister at Lin Xuan Qi.
The elder sister held onto the younger sister’s hand to calm her.
Both resembled each other.
Surprisingly, they were fair and had smooth skin. Their almond-shaped eyes looked distinct, and they were also slim like Xue Cong.
"Their father was an official in the imperial court who was banished to jail, and the punishment for his family was to be sold as slaves."
Fei Luo spoke a little bit about their background before he made his sales pitch.
"Both can write and count. And they are well versed in sewing, painting, and musical instruments."
Lin Xuan Qi nodded and was pleasantly surprised.
He could do with someone who could write and count.
As for doing tough work, Lin Xuan Qi glanced at the elder sister and asked, "There will be tough work, backbreaking type of hard work.
"I can’t guarantee that you would enjoy your life in the mansion, but I can at least guarantee that you wouldn’t go hungry if you work hard.
"Come with me and at least both of you sisters wouldn’t be separated."
The elder sister’s tense body relaxed after hearing what Lin Xuan Qi had said.
She glanced back at her younger sister, who was just as tense.
The elder sister then turned back and nodded at Lin Xuan Qi.
Lin Xuan Qi taking the effort to warn her of what to expect was a good sign. He didn’t look at her as a lowly slave.
His master must be one who is benevolent and patient to have a servant like Lin Xuan Qi, she thought.
She began to wonder which master he was working for.
Could it be the Lee family with years in governance and generations of scholars in their family?
Or was it the Fong family with a lineage of generals making outstanding contributions to the defense of the Da Qian Dynasty?
She couldn’t pinpoint who Lin Xuan Qi’s master was.
But for all that mattered to her was that her younger sister would be together with her.
"Nice. If you are satisfied, they would cost you two taels of silver." Fei Luo saw what happened and chimed in.
He rubbed his hands in anticipation of Lin Xuan Qi’s reply.
It didn’t take long.
Lin Xuan Qi took out two taels of silver and handed them over to Fei Luo.
"Thanks for the business again. Wait while I get the documents ready." Fei Luo kept the two taels of silver and got to work.
He wrote the contract, stamped it and handed it over to Lin Xuan Qi.
Words started to appear in Lin Xuan Qi’s mind.
[Congratulations to host for recruiting two more servants to the mansion.]
[Additional 10KG of rice will be delivered to the mansion daily.]
[Keep up the good work and recruit more personnel.]
[System shall be upgraded when it’s done.]
Lin Xuan Qi saw the information, and he was happy with the progress.
This meant that he would now have fifteen kilograms of rice per day.
"Come back soon if your master needs more slaves. Or let me know beforehand, so that I can go seek out what your master wants."
Fei Luo said, and the two workers let go of the sisters.
The elder sister walked over to Lin Xuan Qi holding her younger sister behind her.
"I’m Yue Jie and she is Yue Xin, my younger sister." The elder sister introduced them to Lin Xuan Qi.
"I’m Lin Xuan Qi. Come let’s go." Lin Xuan Qi said and walked out of the entrance.
He wouldn’t come to this place if he had a choice.
Yue Jie and Yue Xin followed behind him.
"Do both of you need to buy anything for yourselves?" Lin Xuan Qi asked.
He thought of how Xue Cong didn’t have any cloth to change into.
Might as well get it done first.
"No." The sisters replied together.
It was the first time he heard Yue Xin the younger sister say anything.
"We have some belongings with us. Nothing much except our clothes and some essentials." Yue Jie replied and showed Lin Xuan Qi the bundles they were carrying on their backs.
Lin Xuan Qi nodded, at least it’s one less thing for him to take care of.
Suddenly, he heard a growling sound.
It was from Yue Xin’s stomach.
He pretended that he didn’t hear anything and said, "Well, have you tried the meat buns here before?"
"Meat buns?" Yue Xin opened her eyes wide when she heard about food.
She was starving.
