The two carriages walked up the official road one after the other, and when they were about to reach Yunchang Town, Yuxiu heard a commotion outside. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
She opened the curtains, and a woman screamed for help in front of the official road, followed by five or six fierce men. Some people passing by looked twice, and they were glared at by those men, but they didn't dare to stop.
The woman obviously couldn't run, and when she saw two carriages coming, she rushed to the front of the carriage and knelt down.
The coachman hurriedly reined in the horse, and the horse rushed out a few steps before it barely stopped, and the coachman couldn't help but scold, "You are looking for death!"
At this time, the men had already caught up, and one of them nodded to the coachman, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we'll take the people back!"
"No, I'm not going back! Please, help me!
A man grabbed the woman by the hair and dragged her back, but the woman stopped the carriage with all her might.
Yuxiu lifted the curtain in the carriage.
The woman ripped the wrist of the man who was dragging his hair with her long nails, and when the man let go of his hand in pain, the woman threw herself forward, lying on the wheels of the car with most of her body and her head sticking out into the middle of the carriage, "Please, help!
The woman looked in her thirties, and her appearance was good, but she was a little old.
Yuxiu only glanced at it, and saw that this woman was a woman from the Qinglou, and seeing that the men came to arrest people again, the woman let her clothes be dragged to expose half of her shoulders, and only grabbed the wheel.
"You wait!" Yuxiu lifted the curtain and leaned out.
"Yan Niangzi, what's wrong?" Xiaobei got down from a carriage behind him and ran over and asked.
"Someone is blocking the way. Yuxiu replied to Xiaobei, and then turned to look at the woman, "What's wrong with you?"
The big men and the woman looked up and saw Yuxiu's appearance, and they were all stunned. However, when they saw Xiaobei running from behind, although he was dressed as a subordinate, the fabric on his body was not bad, and he didn't dare to make a mistake for a while.
The woman cried and begged, "Little lady, I am from the Furong House in the town, and they are going to sell me to ...... Sell it to the alley, please, save me, save me!"
"Little lady, don't let this woman hide your eyes, the little ones will be dragged away!" The man chasing people saw that Yuxiu didn't speak, and glanced at the other people, "Jiu Niang, go back obediently, and suffer less." What kind of identity do you have, do other little ladies dare to care about you?"
The woman called Jiuniang saw that Yuxiu was silent, and her eyes gradually receded, as if she knew that she finally couldn't escape, that kind of dead silence and despair...... At this moment, as soon as the men pulled, she let go of the wheel.
"Wait!" Yuxiu glanced at it a few times and understood what was going on.
This Jiu Niang, it should be that after the decay of lust and no one redeemed herself, Furong Lou sold her to those alleys to be a secret prostitute.
The world looks down on Qinglou girls, but they don't know that prostitutes are also divided into three, six, nine and so on. Yuxiu was sold as a skinny horse in her previous life, and she was lucky. Like Jiuniang, who falls in the Qinglou, ushers in and sends it every day, the days are sad, but if it falls into the private house, it is even worse than death.
In her previous life, in Yunshui Building, Yuxiu had heard a lot of such things.
"How much did you get sold?" Yuxiu asked, looking at Jiu Niang.
Jiuniang was stunned, not knowing what Yuxiu meant by asking.
"How much silver was she sold?" asked Yuxiu as she turned her head to look at the men.
"Nine...... No, it's ten taels. The man was very clever, and immediately came to his senses and added some price.
Yuxiu took out ten taels of silver, "Xiaobei, I want to buy this woman, please tell your eldest son, and send someone to get the deed with them." ”
That Jiuniang was already desperate, and this rescue, the surprise was inexplicable, "Lady, I'...... No, slave, thank you for your great kindness. She immediately changed her name and wanted to kowtow to the Lord.
Yuxiu hurriedly grabbed her and helped her pull up her clothes, "You come up." ”
"The slave and maid just follow the car, just go. Jiu Niang shook her head again and again, a person of her status, Yuxiu, an unmarried woman, was in the same carriage as her, wouldn't it be a bad reputation.
"It's okay, I'm just a country girl, there are not so many taboos, you can come up. Yuxiu pointed to her feet, "Your shoes are off, and walking will delay my time." With that, Yuxiu shrank back and sat back in the carriage.
Jiuniang looked down, only to feel a pain in her feet, she got into the carriage, probed into the car, and most of her body was outside the car.
"Lady, thank you for saving your life. She wanted to kowtow as she spoke, but Yuxiu stopped.
"My family is just an ordinary farmer, and I can't use slaves. Yuxiu glanced at Jiuniang a few times, "How old are you this year?"
"Slave...... I'm twenty-six years old. When Jiu Niang heard Yuxiu say that she couldn't use slaves, she immediately changed her words, and couldn't help but look secretly as she spoke, a little curious.
"Where is your home? I can give you the money to go home. Yuxiu will buy her, but she is only sympathetic for a moment, and she has no intention of taking her home.
"I ...... There's no one left in my house, lady, just leave me. I'm in that kind of place...... But I can do sewing and washing, really, I was sold to that place at the age of eleven, and before that, I was also from a good family. When Jiuniang heard that Yuxiu was going to give her the travel money, she was not happy at all, but she was even more anxious.
"My family doesn't have a lot of land, and I don't have much farm work...... Or somewhere else can you go?"
"Lady, you save people to the end, leave me. I...... All you have to do is give me something to eat, and leave me alone. She said that she didn't care about Yuxiu stopping her, so she kowtowed in the car.
Yuxiu didn't hold it twice, and the third time she used all her strength to finally hold her. "Don't be like this, speak well first, don't kowtow at every turn. ”
It turned out that this Jiuniang was an only daughter, and the family originally did some small business, and her life was not bad. But when she was eleven years old, her parents died, and her uncle seized her family property and sold her to Furong Building.
Furong House is just a small brothel, which can't support too many people, and every year it sells the old and unredeemed ones to private houses in some nearby places.
Jiu Niang ran away when she came to bring people privately.
Yuxiu just wants to sigh, it is always difficult for women to survive in this world, but it is not suitable to let Jiuniang live at home, it is easy to buy people, but how to place it is a problem.
"Lady, I can read, I can write and calculate, and I can learn to do farm work......" Jiuniang looked at Yuxiu and pondered, wishing that she would be able to do eighteen kinds of martial arts, so that Yuxiu was willing to keep her.
Yuxiu heard her say that she could write and calculate, and then looked carefully at Jiu Niang's appearance, her heart moved, but she had an idea, "Jiu Niang, my family doesn't need slaves and maids, and there is no shortage of farm work, I plan to open a shop, how about you go to the shop and be the shopkeeper for me?"
"Be a shopkeeper, girl, this ...... I...... I have to learn ......" Jiuniang wanted to say no, but she was afraid that she wouldn't take Yuxiu if she said no, so she spit out a few words.
"Of course, I'll find someone to teach you, you study hard, that's my first shop." You'll have to take care of it. ”
"Don't worry, the slave will do her best. ”
