“Come in.”
As soon as Ye Muyu spoke, Madam hu opened the door of the central room and welcomed the six of them in.
She saw two youths who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old. Both of them were slightly thin, and the advantage was that their skin was fair.
The other three girls were not young. They seemed to be seventeen or eighteen years old.
It was mainly because they all had mature faces.
However, these five people all had fair faces.
“Come over and sit. Each of you pick a seat and sit down.”
She had already put some mirrors in the central room. In front of the mirror, there was a pile of cosmetics, all of which were trial products.
After she finished speaking, she sat down in the front seat.
Hearing this, a few of them hesitated for a moment.
They looked at the other party, not knowing what to do.
Tang Dongfeng did not know what Ye Muyu meant. He thought she was testing the five of them. He did not say anything and sat down on the left side of Ye Muyu.
The six seats were arranged along the two sides of the wooden table.
Ye Muyu had already sat down. She raised her head and saw that they were still standing. She frowned slightly, but her voice was calm. “You guys sit too.”
The five of them looked at each other.
A boy walked to Tang Dongfeng and sat down. The other boy looked at her and asked, “Madam, can we sit down as we please?”
“Yes, sit anywhere.” Ye Muyu only had one requirement for these servants: loyalty and contentment.
If they could reach these two points, they could also support their families and have children. Their entire family would stay in the residence.
If they really could not achieve it, they could only do some secondary work.
The people she chose this time were only apprentices who would sell goods in the shop. They were not considered important positions, and she had no intention of testing them.
Unexpectedly, they were especially nervous.
“First, introduce yourselves.” Ye Muyu waited for them to sit down and asked curiously.
The boy below Tang Dongfeng spoke.
“I am Song Min. Ten years ago, my family suffered a disaster in the northern Anshan County. When I escaped to the Nanyuan Prefecture, only my sister and I were left in the family. However, we didn’t have a house to live in. Furthermore, we were refugees and couldn’t find any work. We could only pour swill and wash clothes for others. Later on, I fell sick and needed treatment. My sister sold herself as a slave. Now, my sister is sick. Seeing that Shopkeeper Tang is hiring, I came to try. I can do anything.”
After Song Min finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Seeing that Ye Muyu did not say anything, they continued with the introduction.
“I’m Wang Wei, a local from Nanchang County. My family used to be quite well-off, but a few days ago, my eldest brother gambled and owed a lot of money to the casino. He had no choice but to sell his body to help the family pay off the debt.” The boy who had asked Ye Muyu about the seats said.
The three ladies followed closely behind.
“I’m Liu Lu. I was kidnapped when I was young. I don’t know who my parents are anymore. I used to work in the Spring Fragrance Brothel in the prefecture city. Later on, I offended someone and was sold by my mother in the brothel. I was just bought back by Shopkeeper Tang from the slave market.”
“I’m Ji Chunhong. I was sold to the slave market by my husband’s family because I was infertile for a long time.” Ji Chunhong looked sexy, especially her figure. However, her face was a little pale. It was obvious that she did not live a good life.
“I’m Song Xiaoni. My family is poor, so I came over when I saw that there was work to do. Shopkeeper Tang said I don’t have to sell my body, but my monthly salary is not as high as the others.”
“I see. I understand.” Ye Muyu nodded and stopped asking questions. She began to explain the usage of the cream.
