Chapter 924: Buying slaves.

Fei Qinfan was really excited when he thought about how he could more or less control the information channel of the capital. Su Wan was right, how long was he going to act as the useless and free-spirited brother of the crown prince? He needed to get his act straight up!

He looked at Su Wan and then said, " Wait for me, I will talk about this with my brother." Though he did not know whether or not his brother was going to agree or not. Fei Qinfan wanted to take this chance and then get rid of the stupid tag that was attached to his back where everyone thought that he was useless and someone who could not do anything.

Chi Jia shot a look of grat.i.tude to Su Wan who waved her hand. She never came up with this idea for Fei Qinfan, she chose to do it because she knew it would come in handy. What was more, the more favours she did to the imperial family, the better they would treat her in the future. So for the sake of keeping her golden thighs happy, she chose to help out Fei Qinfan a little.

If this meant that the imperial family would remember her small existence then Su Wan was willing to help out Fei Qinfan a bit more. Anyway, she was going to take a part of her share from the gambling den.

Fei Qinfan excitedly left to write a letter to Eunuch Xi while Lin Jing who was working in the courtyard entered the living hall. When he saw Fei Qinfan smiling like a fool he knew that his wife must have come up with an excellent idea which made Fei Qinfan smile like this.

He walked over to his wife and then sat down next to her before saying, " What good ideas did my best wife come up with, this time around?"

Su Wan raised her head and then looked at her husband before looking around and then pecking him on the cheek. She was quite satisfied with him calling her "Best wife". Su Wan replied to him, " Nothing. It"s just a small gambling den"s idea.

I thought that with the gambling den in the capital, we might be able to not only earn money but we will also be able to gain some important information from the capital. Surely a place where officials come together where they have fun and drinks, they are bound to slip something."

Lin Jing understood the gist of the matter as his smile turned even wider. He leaned against Su Wan and buried his face into the crook of her shoulder before saying, " You are right. This can indeed help us a lot."

The two of them stayed next to one another with a sweet smile on their faces before Su Wan explained a bunch of games like Blackjack, Roulettes Poker and the Big Six Wheel.

Lin Jing nodded as he listened to Su Wan and agreed to build the two sets of games for her. This way they can be a step ahead of the one at the capital and even if the crown prince refused they could always ask Lord Fei for his help.

Seeing that he had understood what she was telling him, Su Wan heaved a sigh of relief. She was worried that Lin Jing might not get what she was asking for and end up creating something different.

" Wan Wan, are you there? I brought the slave trader," Shen Junxi"s voice came from outside of the courtyard and Su Wan stood up from her spot on the couch before walking out of the living hall. She came to a stop in the middle of the courtyard and saw a woman dressed in red standing next to her uncle. Explore more stories with m,v l"e-ReadNovelFull.com

She was an elderly lady with silvery hair tied in a bun and every time she smiled, her face crinkled like she had eaten a lemon.

" Good day to county magistrate. I am Yi Ran," the woman introduced herself as she bowed her head in front of Su Wan. She then straightened up and asked, " This gentleman here told me that you want to buy slaves can you tell me what kind of slaves are you looking for?"

Su Wan pursed her lips and then walked over to the stone table in the courtyard before saying, " I need a few honest and hard-working servants who are used to doing farm work. I do not need anyone who is used to slacking as they will be of no use to me."

Though she did not say anything directly Yi Ran understood that Su Wan was telling her not to add n.o.bles who lost their status. It was not that she was a hard-hearted woman but Su Wan was in no mood to teach a spoiled woman who lived like a princess.

What was more, women like those who believe in paying attention to something else than working hard.

" I understand madam. Is there anything else that you need?" Yi Ran asked with a smile. She understood Su Wan"s worries after taking a look at her husband who was quite good-looking.

" I need someone who knows how to cook, it will be better if you pay attention to this skill more. Someone who knows how to drive and how to make things out of wood," Su Wan paused and then added, " I need a housekeeper and a scholar as well. Someone who knows how to serve a scholar."

" Housekeeper and a page boy?" Yi Ran"s eyes lit up when she heard Su Wan"s request. " Are you sure that you will not find them a taboo?"

Selling slaves was not difficult for Yi Ran but reselling some of the slaves was indeed difficult. For example, a man who once worked as a housekeeper because it meant that the housekeeper was punished because he did something unforgivable or his master under whom he was working did something that caused the exile of the family.

The same could be said for a page boy.

Because of this not many people bought housekeepers and page boys from slave traders.
