The little lady who was standing in the courtyard and confronting Mrs. Liu was slightly stunned after listening to Mama's emotional words, and then she lowered her eyebrows and bowed her head, and said respectfully: "The little girl's family used to be an incense maker, and she was exposed to it since she was a child, so she can naturally distinguish one from the other, but she can't be praised by Mama like this." --”

After hearing Mama's conclusion, the lady who had always been pale asked the people around her to take Mrs. Liu, and whispered a few words to Mama Luo, and then beckoned Mama back. There was appreciation and pity in the eyes of this serious mother, and it seemed that she still wanted to communicate with this talented little lady again, but unfortunately the lady was not allowed.

When Mrs. Liu saw that the matter was revealed, the lady opened her mouth, and her face was immediately gray and her legs were weak. Don't look at the lady's face, she also looks generous and kind on the outside, but in fact, the means are powerful! If she didn't need money, she wouldn't have hit the lady with her idea. I thought that a handkerchief was not very eye-catching, but when the lady remembered it, she had already sold it, and who knew that when she turned her head, she found that she had lost the handkerchief. In desperation, Mrs. Liu had no choice but to splash the sewage on the little lady, just because she had secretly gone to the lady's yard to find Mother Luo. I didn't think that the little lady was not a good bully......

Du Wanwan saw that Mrs. Liu acquiesced to the fact of stealing, and was dragged down without saying a word, and knew that this grandmother had a very high status beside that lady. As I watched the group go back to the inner courtyard, I heard Luo's mother's slightly helpless voice: "You said that your little lady is also smart and well-behaved, why are you always contaminated with these bad things!"

The little lady hung her head, pursed her lips, and shrunk her shoulders, as if she was trying her best to hide her emotions.

"Mother Luo, this is also what you are going to take to the market to sell?" Du Wanwan approached the little lady. Examine her closely.

Seeing that Du Wanwan was interested, Luo's mother hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Yes, although we Daqian allowed the tooth shop to do human trafficking, we also did not allow the tooth shop to sell it directly." If it weren't for the recent closure of the market, this batch of fresh goods would not have been left today. ”

The human market in Licheng is opened once every ten days, and the deeds that should be resold are cleared at the scene of the human market, and the tooth bank does not provide the human deed. It's just that recently because of natural disasters. I'm afraid that there will be chaos when the market is opened. The government will not authorize the tooth to open the deed.

"How old are you this year?Where is your home?Why do you want to sell yourself?Who else is in the family?" Du Wanwan looked at it a few times, but he saw the appearance of this little lady clearly, with big eyes and cherry lips. There is no place on the neck that is covered by smudges, and it looks delicate, so it should be good to nourish.

The little lady raised her eyes and looked at Du Wanwan, with curiosity and defensiveness in her eyes. replied to Du Wanwan's words in a low voice: "The little girl is fourteen years old this year, and she was originally from Yongzhou. It was only because of the disaster in the family that his father and eldest brother both died, and in order to survive, he took his younger siblings and sold them into slavery. In addition to me, there are two younger sisters and a younger brother in the dental shop. ”

Du Wanwan was surprised. Shouldn't my sister sell her body for silver and let her younger siblings live freely? This little lady may have seen Du Wanwan's thoughts, and smiled bitterly on her face. Said sadly: "If the little girl brother and sister don't have the little girl to take care of them, they will only die faster if they get the money." ”

"This little lady is stubborn. Several families wanted to buy her before, but she had to bring her younger siblings, so she ......" Luo's mother said with some embarrassment, obviously offending people because of this incident.

This little lady is only fourteen years old, how old can her younger brothers and sisters be? If it weren't for her, I'm afraid she would want to sell her body with her younger siblings, and she wouldn't want it!

"What's your name?" If you take your younger siblings upside down, it is estimated that the price will be much cheaper.

The little lady showed a hint of joy on her face, for so many days, she and her younger siblings had eaten less and less, and if there was still no one to buy them, then they might starve to death in the tooth shop.

"The little girl's surname is Xu, and her maiden name is Xiuyue. Xu Xiuyue looked at this little lady who was about the same age as her, and felt a little uneasy, without waiting for Du Wanwan to reply, she continued: "Lady, you just bought us, my two younger sisters are very obedient, and they usually work well, embroidery, my brother ......" Speaking of this, Xu Xiuyue's face was a little confused, and her voice began to be weak, "My brother is also very responsible...... We didn't eat much......"

In disaster years, even if there is relief from the imperial court, food is very expensive.

Du Wanwan raised his eyebrows and smiled, turned to Luo's mother and asked, "If I buy her, how much silver will I need?"

Luo's mother was shocked, this little lady didn't look at other people's younger brothers and sisters, so she decided to buy it? In fact, those small ones are really useless, eating and living in the tooth shop, and have already spent a lot of money in the tooth shop, but if she wants to make up for this little lady, she is afraid that this little lady will be too expensive and regret it, alas......!

"Little lady, you also know that although her younger siblings are small, they also have to eat and live in the tooth shop, this ......"

Du Wanwan interrupted Luo's mother's words, "Seven taels of silver, I took all four of them!How about it?"

In fact, among the four people, Xu Xiuyue can sell it at a good price, worth three or four taels of silver, and the remaining three, especially the male baby, are estimated to be upside down! Seven taels of silver is also a fair price. The slaves bought and sold in the market, no matter how young, must be thirteen years old, and their bodies are grown, and they can do work without being tired, otherwise they will die not long after they buy them, and they will not lose money?

"Yes, yes, of course!" Luo's mother smiled, and while sending the people around her to get the seal and deed, she asked Xu Xiuyue to go back to pack up and wait for the news with her younger siblings.

Xu Xiuyue's surprised eyes looked straight at Du Wanwan, only to see that her legs were weak, and she had already knelt down in front of Du Wanwan: "Thank you for the great kindness of the lady! Our sisters and brothers will definitely serve the lady well in the future and smear the mother's liver and brain!"

Du Wanwan hurriedly staggered her body, after all, she is a modern person, and this kneeling is still a little unbearable.

"Okay, since I bought you, you have to listen to me, now hurry up, go and pack up, and wait with your brother and sister. ”

Xu Xiuyue left gratefully, and Du Wanwan went to the edge of the shack in the yard with Luo's mother, and picked three young ladies with beautiful faces, good skin, and fluent answers. In addition to these, Du Wanwan also bought three male servants in Yaxing, two of whom were in their teens, and only one was old, about thirty years old. I heard Luo's mother say that this man in his thirties was left behind in the caravan, and later sold himself into slavery for some reason, but he seems to have good knowledge and some experience in business.

The faces of the three of them were haggard and emaciated, and the two young men at least had anticipation and joy in their eyes, while the older one had a dead silence in his eyes. When Du Wanwan saw that empty and indifferent eyes, she didn't know why she was sad, maybe it was a problem with her eyes, so she bought him directly. (To be continued.) )>
