Chapter 76: Granny Cui's whole family surrenders

Hearing the price Zhao Shi mentioned, Granny Cui was not overjoyed. She just shook her head and said, "Master Zhao, I said that a person's wealth has a certain limit. Once it exceeds this limit, what awaits him is not wealth and glory, but disaster! Therefore, I am willing to sell this phoenix cape to the Zhao family for ten taels of silver!"

When Zhao Shi heard what Grandma Cui said, he did not respond, but just looked at Grandma Cui quietly.

I have to say, the saying "old people become wiser and old horses become more clever" is absolutely true.

indeed!

The moment Granny Cui took out this phoenix bridal robe, it was destined to be sold. If no one bought it, Granny Cui would probably destroy it in public.

It would be a great honor for a big family to own one of these things, but for ordinary poor people to own one, it would be a source of disaster.

Even if the price is really five times higher, it will still be an astronomical figure for ordinary people, and then it will be like a child holding gold.

Everyone in the yard, including Jiang Ling'er and her daughter, looked at Granny Cui in surprise.

Ten taels of silver!

This is almost the same as giving it away for free.

Puzzled.

Everyone was puzzled.

You know, even without looking at the workmanship of this phoenix bridal robe, the gold thread on it alone is worth a huge sum of money. This money alone is enough for the Cui family to buy a house, some land, and lead a wealthy life.

Therefore, after hearing the price, the women in the yard looked at the people from the Cui family as if they were fools.

Some people even pointed fingers at the Cui family with a look of disdain on their faces.

However, Cui's daughter-in-law and two granddaughters-in-law did not say a word. They just stood there quietly, holding the clothes, as if it had nothing to do with them, and let Grandma Cui make the decision.

The only ones who can truly understand the yard are Bao Ye and Zhao Shi.

"Granny Cui, are you sure?" Zhao Shi asked.

"I am sure that if this thing stays in the Cui family, it will be the source of disaster. I have been wanting to give it away for many years, but there is no suitable buyer!"

Granny Cui nodded firmly.

Over the years, this thing has never been revealed at all, because she knows that once it is revealed, their Cui family will be on the verge of death and extinction.

"Then do you think my Zhao family is the right buyer?" Zhao Shi asked curiously.

"Yes, I think the Zhao family can afford it!" said Granny Cui. After that, she turned her head slightly and glanced at Master Bao who was standing at the gate of the Zhao family.

Zhao Shi naturally saw Granny Cui's gaze.

At this moment, it dawned on me.

No wonder Granny Cui thought the Zhao family could take it, they obviously knew Bao Ye.

Right!

Since Master Bao could become a fourth-level marrow refining expert, he was obviously not an unknown person. No one in this small place of Qingshan County knew him, but Granny Cui and her family had returned from the provincial capital, and they had some contacts at a certain level, so it was not impossible that they knew Master Bao or had seen him.

"If you have any other requests, just tell me! If it's appropriate, I'll agree!" Zhao Shi thought about it for a moment, then he understood and asked.

Granny Cui obviously wanted something.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have to take this thing out and could just keep it at the bottom of the box at home.

Since he had taken it out and only accepted ten taels of silver, that meant he had other demands. If the demands were not too excessive, there was no reason for Zhao Shi to refuse.

As soon as Zhao Shi said this, Granny Cui understood that this noble lady was a wise man. That’s right, how could a young man from a big family be simple?

A dandy, a waste?

It can only come from a nouveau riche family. The real big families have extremely deep foundations. Even the good-for-nothing dude is an unappreciated illegitimate child of the side branch. Anyway, she has come into contact with some families in the capital city, and she was deeply impressed by the young people of those families.

Even though he is extremely vicious behind the scenes, he appears to be a humble, polite and elegant young man on the surface.

"I am here on behalf of the entire Cui family to make a proposal. I hope that Master Zhao will accept it!" After hearing Zhao Shi's question, Grandma Cui knelt on the ground and spoke loudly.

"what?"

Zhao Shi was stunned when he heard this.

Then he looked at Granny Cui with surprise.

Mr. Bao did the same, staring at Granny Cui with a look of surprise on his face.

"Mrs. Cui is crazy!" "She wants to be a slave of the Zhao family!"

'It's crazy'

"Did I hear that right?"

If they were just surprised or puzzled by the fact that the phoenix cape was sold for ten taels of silver, then at this moment, when Granny Cui said this, the people in the yard were dumbfounded and started to talk about it. Some people who knew the granddaughter-in-law of the Cui family even whispered to her who was holding the clothes, "Xiaofeng, your grandma is crazy, take her home quickly!"

"That's it, pull your milk back!"

However, the Cui family members did not take any action at all and there was no surprise on their faces. It was obvious that they had discussed it at home.

At this time, Zhao Shi had to look at Grandma Cui differently.

Courage!

You have to know that it takes great courage to surrender the whole family, and all the family members will be slaves, and even generations to come will be slaves.

In this world, the life and death of slaves are in the hands of their masters.

Even if the master beat the slave to death, the government would not intervene or even inquire about it.

The most important thing is that the incense and sacrifices are mainly borne by the master's family. If servants want to sacrifice to their own ancestors, it can only be done secretly by the family.

"Granny Cui, are you sure?" Zhao Shi asked seriously.

"Sure! Please, Master Zhao, take me in!" Granny Cui had no intention of changing her decision.

In fact, there is nothing they can do.

In today's world, if they cannot find a home for shelter, the only thing waiting for them is death.

A few days ago, the evil spirit was not far from her home. The fear and worry she felt that night was beyond the imagination of others.

In addition, she had some information channels of her own and knew what the outside world had become. It was almost impossible for families without ancestral spirits to survive in this chaotic world.

The reason for choosing the Zhao family was also well considered.

They had thought about other capable families, but eventually gave up. Their family had no other special skills except embroidery and needlework, so no one would pay attention to them even if they went to other families.

They also thought about ordinary small families with ancestral spirits, such as Butcher Chen's family, but they did not think that was a good host family.

I'm afraid that after squeezing their family dry, they will be kicked out.

Most importantly, ordinary families have ancestral spirits that can resist evil spirits, but they do not have the ability to resist other risks.

The Zhao family is different.

Master Bao is here!
The other people in the Cui family didn't know, but she knew Bao Ye.

Even as an elder in Anpingfang, she was somewhat aware of the relationship between Master Bao and the mistress of the Zhao family.
This is the reason for choosing to donate.

More importantly, the Zhao family is in the early stages of its rise. Will their contributions be accepted now? Will they be accepted in the future? When the Zhao family really rises
I'm afraid there will be no way to make a contribution at that time.

"Mrs. Cui is very courageous. However, I don't want your Cui family to make contributions. If you are willing, you can come to my Zhao family as a tribute! You can be in charge of my Zhao family's embroidery workshop!"

"Your family can choose one of the houses to live in!"

"Tell me when you've made your choice, and I'll use the ancestral spirit barrier to cover the house!"

Zhao Shi looked at Granny Cui for a while, then smiled and spoke loudly.

Be a slave?
Maybe other families would value these.

But now the Zhao family only has two women, so there is no use for these slaves? Why not come and win people's hearts!
"Thank you, head of the family!" When Granny Cui heard what Zhao Shi said, a hint of surprise appeared on her face. However, she did not say much and simply knelt down to express her gratitude.

"Ling'er, go help Granny Cui up!"

"As the saying goes, an old man in the family is like a treasure. Now our Zhao family has both Master Bao and Granny Cui to serve us. These are treasures more precious than any phoenix bridal robe!"

Zhao Shi was in a very good mood. He turned around and spoke to Jiang Ling'er, even making a joke.

Even if Granny Cui couldn't embroider such a phoenix cape again, what about Zhao Shi? What he needed was not a phoenix cape, but Granny Cui's experience in embroidery.

With Granny Cui in charge and guiding the workshop, he not only saves time and effort, but the quality of these embroidery products may also be improved, which is much more valuable than a phoenix bridal robe.

"By the way, Grandma Cui! How strong are these people in your family compared to you?" Zhao Shi asked, pointing at the daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law of the Cui family who were wearing phoenix bridal robes.
