Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 391: Buying Servants (2)

"Are you all together?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"No!" The eight shook their heads.

Shen Qinglan saw that they all seemed honest, and their eyes were quite clear, so she chose them.

If any of them were wrongly chosen, it wouldn’t be a matter of her poor judgment, but rather their exceptional acting skills.

Shen Qinglan quickly looked at the remaining crowd, "Who knows how to take care of flowers?"

She went there today and found that the courtyard had quite a few flowers, but since no one had managed them for a long time, they had lost their beauty and looked somewhat messy.

"I, I can!"

A young man in his twenties stepped forward.

"Anyone else?" Shen Qinglan scanned the crowd.

"There’s me!"

A man in his thirties hesitated for a moment and finally stepped forward.

"Why did you hesitate just now?" Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows, "Do you think your skills are lacking?"

"Not at all!" The man said, "Since childhood, I’ve learned the art of managing flowers from my father, but... I’m afraid... afraid the lady is not the master I thought."

"What do you mean?" Shen Qinglan was puzzled.

The man said, "I used to manage flowers for someone else. One day, the master’s favorite trees mysteriously withered, and I was beaten by that master and then sold here."

Shen Qinglan twitched her lips. How come they’re all wrongfully sold off?

That’s too tragic...

She coughed softly and continued, "Alright, you two then."

"Miss, do you need more people?" The broker grinned, "We’ve got all kinds of people here!"

"For now, only these." Shen Qinglan.

"Hey~" The broker said, "These eight guys and the two gardeners are ten silver each, the five matrons and the chef are five silver each, and the remaining seven maids are six silver each, a total of a hundred and seventy-two silver. Let’s round it down, give me one hundred and seventy."

Shen Qinglan didn’t bargain with her and directly gave him the money.

"Can you manage by buying so many people all at once?" Song Ting asked.

"Of course I can!" Shen Qinglan said, "If I couldn’t manage, I wouldn’t buy so many."

Song Ting frowned, "But I observed that the estate isn’t very large, just a three-compartment house. You don’t need so many people, do you?"

Duan Yunfei said leisurely, "You’ll see why later."

"Qinglan, are we just going to lead such a group back like this?"

After leaving the Government, Lan Ruo asked softly.

"Why not?" Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows.

They’re not without hands and feet; they can walk themselves. Why hire a special carriage to take them back?

"But..." Lan Ruo hesitated and said, "Going back like this, won’t it attract a lot of attention?"

"So what?" Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow, "I paid for them, are others going to snatch them?"

Lan Ruo laughed, "That’s true, let them watch if they want!"

At the back, Duan Yunfei and Song Ting unconsciously slowed their pace, distancing themselves from the group.

Looking at the two leading ladies, they both sighed simultaneously.

This spectacle outshine even a princess’s outing.

Passersby on the street all turned to look; some even started speculating about the identities of Shen Qinglan and Lan Ruo.

But guessing back and forth, they couldn’t figure out which family’s ladies they were.

"These two young ladies are captivating, but they look unfamiliar." Someone whispered, "I think they left the Broker, maybe adding servants to some household?"

"Probably!"

The crowd nodded in agreement, though they couldn’t help but keep guessing which family’s daughters were those two leading ladies.
