Chapter 127: Lack of Consideration
There was just a rain yesterday, and the moisture on the ground had not completely evaporated, Gu Zheng drove the carriage and rushed to the north of the city with Mo Xiaohe, where there was a cattle and horse market, next to the labor market. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Generally, large families buy people, most of them also buy through human teeth, buy the well-trained boys, the labor market, only human teeth go, buy at a low price, sell at a high price, human trafficking, just like animals.
Feudal society, that's the case, people are born unequal, few people can rely on the efforts of the day after tomorrow to change their fate, the so-called rich but three generations of the statement, basically nonsense, otherwise that is also a family, by what inheritance?
Because the rich have the capital, they can buy land, buy shops to collect rent, or do their own business, while the poor have no capital, so they can only earn some subsistence silver, go out early and return late, and run for life.
Mo Xiaohe wants to live his own small life, and he can't do without money first. She has 10,000 taels of silver given by Mrs. Gu in her hand, after all, she didn't earn it herself, and she didn't spend it so steadily, she wanted to enjoy the process of making money.
It has been several days since she bought silk and waited for the dyeing workshop to come out, and after coming out for so long, she missed her home more and more, and she didn't know if everything was okay.
"Husband, why did you stop?"
Mo Xiaohe held her cheeks to think, and when she reacted, she found that the carriage had stopped on the side of the road, surrounded by a bustling crowd, standing in place and whispering, watching the excitement.
She opened the window and poked her head out, and there were few pedestrians on the street not far away, and there was a horse-drawn carriage galloping in the middle of the road, and the coachman kept beating gongs and drums, and the passers-by retreated one after another, making way for the carriage to make way for a wide road.
"I don't know."
Gu Zheng was also confused, he followed the carriage in front of him to give way, as if the sound of gongs and drums was a specific signal.
"You're a foreigner, aren't you?"
There was an enthusiastic woman around, who heard the conversation between the husband and wife, and took the initiative to introduce that the carriage was a special vehicle for the prefect's yamen to open a medical center, and was generally responsible for first aid.
Luzhou City is prosperous, there are many vehicles passing by, sometimes Langzhong goes to the clinic to save people's lives, racing against time, so Wei Zhifu thought of this method, and the coachman beat the gong and drum to make a crisp sound to remind passers-by.
"I see."
Mo Xiaohe thought of the modern ambulance, and suddenly felt that this method was quite witty, and seeing that everyone consciously gave way without complaint, she felt the kindness and simplicity of the people of Luzhou.
There is still some truth in this statement, and people who live in rich areas are relatively peaceful in their hearts and are not so careful.
"Alas, I heard that the pretty widow just entered the yamen a few days ago, and it was not very good to come out.
The people in the house went to the yamen to ask for a doctor, and it was estimated that it was a difficult birth, and it seemed that there was more luck than luck.
"Hmph, this is evil and evil retribution, that horse member has obtained the Liu family's property, and if he does bad things, he should cut off his children and grandchildren."
Some people in the crowd discussed that the relationship between the Ma family and the Liu family has become a hot topic among the people after dinner, and everyone thinks that the Liu family is not worth it, okay, she is also a young lady who has never suffered before she gets married, and when she meets such a scumbag, she did not take revenge before she died.
The pretty widow is not a good thing, she got Liu's jewelry into her room, and the second room is a concubine, not restless at all, she doesn't know how to be respectful, she deceives people too much, it is said that she is still pregnant with a male fetus, hum, it is best not to give birth.
During the conversation, everyone hated Ma Yuanwai and the pretty widow very much, why did a pair of adulterers and adulteresses live happily after Liu's death? Then God won't have eyes! Liu's best to become a powerful ghost and come back for revenge!
Although the words were ruthless, everyone did not block the way of the carriage after all, and only after the carriage went away did they begin to restore normal order.
"Didn't Grandpa Wei say that if there is evidence that the Ma family has obtained the wealth of the Liu family, will he recover it for others?"
Mo Xiaohe is also not worth Liu's name, that disease is a modern proper noun, that is, cancer, malignant tumor, is caused by long-term depression in the heart, so women, don't think about it when you encounter something, try to be nice to yourself.
"The horseman's external methods are hidden, and the account books are made seamlessly, so that outsiders only think that the Liu family's shop is not operating well, so it was sold."
The water is very deep, the Ma family itself is the one who opened the silk and satin village, and is well versed in the way of business, and the Liu family, who is a blank piece of paper, only knows what is going on in the end, and it can be seen that the other party is doing a good job.
A scumbag is also a talent.
The carriage is still moving forward, about a stick of incense, encountering congestion, there are many people in front, watching the excitement at the door of a high-door family on the corner of the street, listening to the wind, Mo Xiaohe knows that this is the original Liu family mansion.
Although the Liu family is not very rich, it is also very good, living in the prime area of Luzhou City, from the land area, the courtyard wall, to the magnificent stone lion at the door, it is not difficult to see that the Liu family was also a bit of a family back then, and there were more than 20 people.
There were many onlookers standing at the door, some peddling tea and melon seeds, some people bought a pack, chatted while eating, and some bet on whether the widow's child could be born.
The carriage couldn't pass, so it could only be parked on the side of the road, Mo Xiaohe was curious about this matter, it was still early, and she wanted to stay and see what was going on.
After pouring a cup of herbal tea and a cloth towel, she wiped her husband's sweat and asked him to rest in the carriage for a while.
About a quarter of an hour, there was a heart-rending cry in the house, and then, someone opened the door and sent Lang Zhong from the county yamen to leave.
"What's the matter, mother and son are safe?"
The crowd of onlookers hurriedly stepped forward to inquire, and when they saw that the subordinates refused to speak, they collectively gathered the copper plate, and when they saw the faces of the subordinates, they had a little bottom in their hearts, probably the situation was not good.
"One corpse and two lives, born a stillborn baby, our wife's blood collapsed, and she followed."
The next person sighed, this is fate, it seems that people really can't do too many bad things, the Buddha looked at it.
Originally, it was all fine, but suddenly it was stillborn, everyone changed their faces, and they always thought that it was the dead Liu who came back for revenge, not long after Liu went, the bones were not cold, and the pretty widow became the main room, and people called her "Mrs."
"What about the horsemen?"
The scumbag has been married for several years, and he has no heirs, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally the bamboo basket is empty, and the family has to hold two funerals, and there is a lawsuit, it is estimated that this will be collapsing.
"Our lord didn't come up in one breath and fainted."
The subordinate turned around quite calmly, closed the door by the way, and isolated the crowd watching the excitement.
After the heated discussion, everyone was very satisfied with this result, not that people were indifferent, but that the femme fatale was really not worthy of offspring, and they all said that the upper beam was not right and the lower beam was crooked, and it would be good if there would be one less scourge in Luzhou City in the future, and I hope that the child can be reincarnated into a good family in the next life.
"It's almost noon, we need to hurry over."
After the crowd dispersed, Gu Zheng waved his whip and pointed at the horse's buttocks, generally before noon, the men can find a job, and the rest, most of them have various requirements, they have to go far away this time, and some people who are not far from home may be reluctant.
Because the two were not familiar with the road conditions in Luzhou, they took a detour, and when they arrived in the north of the city, at noon, only a few people were waiting in place, and they didn't find a job, and they were slumped.
"Uncle, are you looking for a job?"
Mo Xiaohe looked around, and found an uncle in the corner who was squatting and eating dry food and pickles, with a simple and honest face, and she took the initiative to talk to her.
"What's the job?"
The uncle raised his head and glanced at Gu Zheng, he was strong and strong, with scars on his face, it was not easy to get along with at first glance, if it was a short-term job and the price was high, he could consider it.
"Deliver a batch of silk to Yingchuan."
As soon as Mo Xiaohe finished speaking, the uncle's head shook like a rattle, and he waved his hand again and again, indicating that he would not accept the job.
"Twenty taels of silver."
Mo Xiaohe was very puzzled, thinking that he didn't mention the payment, and the other party thought that the money he gave was less, who knows, after hearing this, the uncle looked at her suspiciously, and felt even more suspicious.
With so much money, those who are willing to go can line up from the north of the city to the prefect's yamen, and the rich families have already had their own caravans, and the caravans generally have three or five years of work deeds on them, so that both sides can be restricted.
Her accent doesn't sound like a local, she doesn't know the roots, if she tricks people into Yingchuan, they will disappear, not only can't earn a copper plate for work, but also have to take the trip back.
In other words, I am worried that they are liars.
Mo Xiaohe rubbed the corners of her forehead, she didn't know how to explain it, she couldn't cry or laugh, she didn't think it through, and what the uncle said made some sense.
"Also, you are in the silk business, and the cost of a trip must be a lot, if you meet a gangster and cooperate to rob your goods, who will you go to?"
There are three religions and nine streams around, and if you are not familiar with it, you will definitely not go to such a far place to sell goods, after all, life is more important than silver. Those who can readily agree are all for generous rewards, who knows if there will be evil intentions on the road, these days, killing people and goods is not a new thing.
"Husband, what should we do?"
Mo Xiaohe is not deeply involved in the world, and she was said to be cold by her uncle, it is indeed her lack of consideration, thanks to meeting a well-wisher, otherwise she would have run all the way to the dark.
If you find a dart master to form a convoy, it will cost at least more than 1,000 taels of silver, as well as the cost of eating and drinking on the road, and the goods they transport are not very valuable, so they can't get it.
"Otherwise, let's find a way for Boss Ma?"
I often mix in the market, and I was recommended by the Wei Governor's Office, so I should be able to know someone who is more reliable, and this trip is trying to be safe.
It would be nice if he could find someone he trusted, Mo Xiaohe saw that the uncle in front of him was very practical and enthusiastic, and he really wanted him to take over and make this money.
"Uncle, if I can prove that I am not a liar and very reliable, would you like to take a trip?"
The uncle's family is in the surrounding area, and he knows a lot of people, and bringing in a dozen or twenty is enough to form a small caravan.
