Zhulan felt quite satisfied with the arrangements, as she already had two little ones at home, with the girl learning from Xue Han and the little boy from Mingyun. Of course, this was just the beginning, and whether they would continue to follow them depended on the children's aptitude.
Zhulan asked the broker, "How much silver?"
Zhulan was well aware that some slaves with families and friends were usually ransomed when trouble arose. Those who were left were either without relatives or estranged from them, which was preferable, as it would avoid a lot of trouble.
The broker answered with a delighted expression, "Madam, these slaves all come from official households. Although they are a bit older, the price can't be low, eighty taels for the whole family."
Zhulan pursed her lips and remained silent. The broker felt uncomfortable under her gaze and said, "The lowest I can go is seventy-five taels."
