Chapter 151 Either Go or Stay
More than three hours later, Wang Lang returned to Wang's Manor in a carriage.
The reason why it took so long was because Wang Lang drove the carriage out of Chang'an City and took a long walk outside.
The main purpose of this trip is to get some money.
There was nothing that could be done about it. Zhang San was not a good person. He had to make the necessary fake moves.
But we must not let Zhang San feel that his money came from Wang’s manor.
At this point, Wang Lang had been in the Tang Dynasty for about four hours.
Now the land deeds and house deeds of the Wang family manor all belong to Wang Lang. At the same time, he also has a household registration in Chang'an City.
Arriving at the gate of the manor, Zhang San jumped off the carriage and shouted respectfully to Wang Lang who was sitting in the carriage.
"Master, we're home already."
At this time, Zhang San's face was full of smiles, and he looked very proud.
After bargaining, he bought the Wang family manor for 29,000 taels. This time, he made a direct profit of 6,000 taels.
"Oh, we're here. So soon."
As he spoke, Wang Lang lifted the door curtain and walked out of the carriage.
After jumping off the carriage, Wang Lang immediately noticed the people shivering behind the carriage.
Especially the dozen or so women, they were kneeling on the ground with pale faces.
There were thirty people in total behind the carriage.
There are eighteen men, one old man, three middle-aged men, and the remaining fourteen are young people.
There were twelve women, three of whom were middle-aged. The remaining nine were all young people, aged between sixteen and twenty, and they looked OK, but they were definitely not beauties.
These people were bought by Wang Lang. Such a large manor definitely needs someone to take care of it.
At this time, several men were talking to the old man.
Wang Lang just glanced at them and didn't care much.
Patting Zhang San on the shoulder, Wang Lang said with a smile: "Zhang San, you did a good job this time. The money you deserve is in the car. Go up and count it yourself. If it is correct, you can deposit it in the bank first. Didn't you say that it was a bank run by the court and it was very safe?"
"But you better not run away, I'm still waiting for you to come back and take me to the Qunxianfang to play!"
After listening to Wang Lang, Zhang San immediately nodded, bowed, and shouted with a smile.
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. No need to count. Sir, you are such a great man. How could you possibly deceive me?"
"Don't worry, sir. I'll be back soon. I'll make sure you have a great time today."
Zhang San said that there was no need to count, but in fact he had already counted the money when the people from the silver shop were moving it.
After the pawnshop was moved, the remaining silver on the carriage must have been more than six thousand taels.
"Haha, okay, then you go quickly and come back soon. I'll go and make arrangements for them first, and when you come back, we'll set off."
"Okay, wait a moment, sir. I'll be right back."
As he was speaking, Zhang San had already climbed onto the carriage and sat down.
He grabbed the horse's reins and shouted to Wang Lang, "Sir, please move aside. I'll be back soon!"
"it is good!"
As he spoke, Wang Lang walked around the black horse and came to the gate of Wang's manor.
As soon as Zhang San pulled the reins, the horse moved and turned, and soon went away into the distance.
Just at this moment, the old man, about 1.65 meters tall, with gray hair and a long goatee, walked over.
Without waiting for him to speak, Wang Lang asked directly: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Hearing Wang Lang's question, the old man was obviously stunned. Then, he bowed to Wang Lang and started talking.
"Master, is this the manor you just bought?"
"Yes, it's right here. What's the matter? Just say it if you have something to say."
After hearing Wang Lang’s reply, the old man started talking directly.
"Master, this manor is not good. It is a haunted house. More than 30 years ago, the owner of this manor committed a crime. After the incident, he knew that there was no hope for survival, so most of the people in the manor hanged themselves in the manor."
"Since then, this manor has had three owners. However, almost every owner lost everything within a year and his family was ruined."
"Master, maybe that scoundrel Zhang San has deceived you. You can't buy this manor! Ghosts often appear in this manor. This is not a place for people to live."
Wang Lang looked at the old man, then looked ahead at the twenty-nine men and women who were still shivering.
Then he said directly: "The talk of ghosts and gods is pure nonsense. I know the situation of this manor very well, so you don't need to say more."
"You now have two choices. One is to stay and live with me in this manor. The other is that I will send you back to the dental clinic later."
"To be honest, when I was buying slaves, I didn't fancy you. If you hadn't told me that the young lady from your Zhou family was as beautiful as a fairy, I would never have spent money to buy you."
Having said that, Wang Lang turned and looked at the old man.
"What's your name, old man?"
"My Lord, I am Zhou Jie."
The old man Zhou Jie answered honestly.
"Well, Old Zhou, I hope what you said is true. The young lady of your Zhou family is really beautiful, like a fairy from heaven."
"If you dare to cheat me, I will definitely get the six thousand taels of silver back from you."
Thinking about this incident now, Wang Lang still feels that he is a little possessed.
After getting the house deeds and land deeds, he wanted to select some slaves from the pawnshop.
He had two criteria for selecting slaves: one was that they had to be female, and the other was that they had to be beautiful.
What a pity, I looked around but didn’t see any decent ones.
Just when he was about to give up, old man Zhou spoke up.
It is said that the young lady from the Zhou family who had just been sent away was as beautiful as a fairy from heaven, and was definitely a fairy who had descended to earth.
So Wang Lang somehow paid six thousand taels of silver to buy the young lady of the Zhou family who had just been sent away, and Zhou Jie and the other thirty people were considered as gifts.
It’s just that the young lady from the Zhou family had just been sent away, and the brokerage firm needed some time to bring her back.
But fortunately, the dental office will deliver it personally later, so there is no need for me to go over to pick them up.
Zhou Jie looked up and glanced at Wang Lang quietly, then started talking.
"Master, rest assured. My daughter from the Zhou family is not only beautiful, but also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. But..."
"It's just that Miss has been living a life of luxury since she was a child, and has never served anyone. If there is anything I do wrong in the future, I hope Master will forgive me."
Hearing this, Wang Lang curled his lips and said, "Old Zhou, what are you talking about? Do I look so unsympathetic and unkind to women?"
"If the young lady of your Zhou family is really as beautiful as you said, and is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting, then I will definitely marry her into my family as my wife. There are plenty of servants and maids, and she will be needed to serve people."
Hearing this, a hint of joy appeared on Zhou Jie's face.
He smiled and said, "Yes, yes, the master is right. As for the servants and maids, we are enough. The master is handsome, suave, and you can tell at first glance that he is a modest gentleman who knows how to cherish women."
"Hey, you're quite right."
After a brief pause, Wang Lang continued to say to Zhou Jie: "Old Zhou, I've already said it just now. You guys can either leave or stay in this manor."
"Now I can make you a promise. As long as you work in my manor for a full year, those who perform well can be freed from slavery and become human beings again. It is up to you whether you leave or stay in the future."
Hearing this, Jay Chou was stunned.
Not only Zhou Jie, but the twenty-nine men and women behind him were all stunned.
Wang Lang spoke loudly, so everyone could hear him clearly.
After being stunned for a while, Zhou Jie stammered, "Master, are you telling the truth?"
"Nonsense, of course it's true. If you don't believe it, we can sign a document."
"Think about it for yourselves. I'll go in first. Once you've made up your mind, you can come in. If you don't want to come in, just wait outside the door. When the dental office staff brings your Miss Zhou here, you can follow them back to the dental office."
As he spoke, Wang Lang turned and walked towards the gate of Wang's Manor.
Just now when he and Zhang San went out, they climbed over the wall, so the gate of the manor was still locked at this time.
However, the gate of the manor has long been in disrepair and there is no need to keep it.
Wang Lang stretched out his hand and slapped the two doors, and the door frames shattered and fell inside.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Lang walked into the manor.
