The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 150 Found My Cousin

Tang Peipei looked at the man who was brought in.

He looked to be about thirty-four or thirty-five, with delicate features, especially thick and black eyebrows, and a pair of eyes that were bright yet calm.

This reminded Tang Peipei of the uncle those people were looking for in his previous life. He might look like this.

Tang Peipei was very satisfied with the person in front of her.

The matchmaker observed Tang Peipei's expression and saw that she seemed very satisfied, so she smiled and introduced him, "This is the only one in our matchmaker shop who meets Madam's requirements. His name is Chu Wenbo."

Chu Wenbo stepped forward and bowed to Tang Peipei, then stood aside without saying much.

Tang Peipei looked at him and asked, "Can you count?"

Chu Wenbo replied: "Yes."

Tang Peipei thought for a moment and then said, "I have 137 taels of silver in my hand. I bought a carriage with 10 taels, cloth with 3 taels, rouge with 5 taels, and deposited 75 taels in the bank. How much silver do I have now?"

As soon as Tang Peipei finished speaking, Chu Wenbo replied, "There are still thirty-nine taels."

Her answer made Tang Peipei's eyes suddenly light up, and she looked at Chu Wenbo as if she had seen a rare treasure.

Tang Peipei never thought that she had picked up a treasure, and that he was good at mental arithmetic.

Looking at him curiously, he asked, "Who taught you this algorithm?"

Chu Wenbo didn't expect her to ask this question, but he still answered respectfully: "This is the method passed down from our ancestors."

Tang Peipei was very satisfied with this man at this time. He was good at mental arithmetic and would be a great talent to have by his side working with in the future.

He immediately decided to buy Chu Wenbo.

He smiled and looked at the matchmaker who was drinking tea beside him, and said, "I wonder what his background was before? He doesn't look like an ordinary slave."

The matchmaker waved her hand and asked the waiter to take the man away. Then she looked at Tang Peipei and said, "Actually, this man is also very innocent. He was originally a businessman, and because of his family's involvement, he became a slave. Madam, you are lucky, this man has only been here for a few days. If Madam had come a few days later, I am afraid this man would not exist."

Tang Peipei understood that this person was capable, and as long as the matchmaker spread the news, there would be many people who wanted this person.

She tactfully took out a hundred taels of silver from her bosom and handed it to the matchmaker.

The fortune teller took it with a smile on her face, put it in her mouth and took a bite to confirm that it was real. She looked at Tang Peipei's eyes as if she had seen the God of Wealth.

The average price of a slave is only ten taels of silver. For someone like Chu Wenbo, the most he could get if he bid honestly is fifty taels.

Tang Peipei offered one hundred taels at once, and the matchmaker was naturally very happy.

The attitude towards Tang Peipei is also more enthusiastic.

Who would complain about having too much money?

Seeing Tang Peipei's generosity, the matchmaker wanted to do her another favor, so she smiled and said to Tang Peipei, "Madam, I have a few new people here, who have fled from Qianzhou and are selling themselves. If you are interested, you can go and pick some, and it will be considered as an extra gift from me."

Tang Peipei didn't want to pay attention to it, but when he heard that he was from Qianzhou, he became interested.

I followed the matchmaker to the place where the slaves were held.

This is another yard, and all the people locked up inside are new arrivals.

These people still have a lot of rules to be taught, so they are temporarily detained here.

Only after you have learned the rules will you take them to the place of business.

This is also to better serve guests.

After all, those who can come to buy people are all wealthy families, and wealthy families have many rules.

If the host can learn some basic rules from them, it will save a lot of trouble.

This will make people more trustworthy towards their dental practice.

The matchmaker introduced: "These people have been taught the rules and regulations, and they can be released tomorrow for people to choose. Let Madam take a look today, and if there are any you like, you can keep them."

Tang Peipei felt somewhat uncomfortable listening to her words which were like selecting goods.

However, she has been here for so long, and the situation is much better than when she first came to this era. She can slowly accept these things.

As they talked, they entered a room.

There were about ten people imprisoned in the room.

When they saw Tang Peipei and others coming in, they all rushed forward, but were stopped with a wooden stick by the big man standing by.

Tang Peipei looked at the faces of those people one by one, withdrew her gaze with some disappointment, and shook her head at the matchmaker.

The matchmaker was astonished. Is that all? Just one look and that’s it?

Tang Peipei was about to turn around and leave when a surprised voice was heard.

"Peipei, Peipei, is that you?"

Tang Yan was a little unsure whether the woman in front of her, dressed in such luxurious clothes, was her cousin.

When Tang Peipei heard the voice, she felt it was familiar and looked towards the man.

In the most inconspicuous place in the room, there stood a very thin woman with a child in her arms.

Next to the woman was a man lying. His eyes were closed, his skin was dark, and he was very thin. He didn't look like he was in good condition.

Tang Peipei couldn't recognize the person in front of her for a moment, but she felt familiar with him, as if she had seen him somewhere.

Tang Yan saw Tang Peipei looking at her for a long time without saying a word, with a look of strangeness in his eyes.

This made Tang Yan, who was originally somewhat happy, unsure for a moment, and she stood there at a loss.

She heard that these ladies were very unruly and didn't know the rules, and she was afraid that she would get angry if she called out to them so loudly just now.

I only heard her say softly: "Yes, I'm sorry!"

Seeing that she suddenly looked a little scared, Tang Peipei put away his doubts and asked, "What's your name? Where are you from?"

Tang Yan said somewhat helplessly: "My real name is Tang Yan, and I live in..."

When Tang Peipei heard the name, she excitedly interrupted Tang Yan's next words: "What's your name?"

Seeing Tang Peipei suddenly excited, Lu Xinyu also noticed something and looked curiously at Tang Yan, who had become so thin that her original appearance could not be seen.

Tang Yan saw Tang Peipei's voice suddenly rise, and shrank her neck in fear, stammering, "Slave, slave name is Tang, Tang Yan."

After Tang Peipei got confirmation, she walked a few steps to Tang Yan and asked in surprise, "Cousin, why did you become like this?"

The word "cousin" instantly made Tang Yan, who was already feeling emotional, burst into tears.

She thought she had recognized the wrong person, but she didn't expect it to be her cousin.

Tang Yan had suffered a lot along the way. She was about to reach the capital when her husband suddenly fell ill.

Their journey was already difficult, and their sudden illness made it even more difficult for them as they were already penniless.

When Qianzhou was flooded, they originally planned to seek refuge with Tang Peipei, but they only knew that she was in the capital, but didn't know where she was.

After arriving in the capital, they also looked for the person, but they didn't find him.

Seeing that Liu Qingcheng was really ill, in order to help her husband get treatment, she had to bring her husband and son to the pawnshop and sell herself.

She hopes the dental clinic can help find a doctor to cure her husband’s illness.

Unexpectedly, at this time, she met her cousin.

Tang Yan couldn't stop crying, sadness and joy mixed together.

Tang Peipei comforted her softly for a while, then looked at the matchmaker.

The matchmaker understood immediately and quickly ordered someone to bring the deeds of the two people, one big and one small.

Then he said to Tang Peipei with a smile on his face: "This is their indenture, Madam, keep it well."

Tang Peipei took it with a smile, and then asked, "Can you send someone to carry my brother-in-law to my carriage?"

The matchmaker even gave me the indenture, so this small matter is naturally no problem.

Seeing her like this, Tang Peipei still left twenty taels of silver for her when he left.

The toothbrush smiled even more happily.

He shouted to Tang Peipei's carriage as it drove away, "Madam, please come again next time."
