Chapter 173: Ren Bi
The first thing Mei Xueyan did when she returned home was to see the queen mother's reward, but as she thought, as in the film and television drama, the scene of a pile of silver ingots stacked high into a small hill did not appear. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There were only two brocade plates covered with red and gold silk, and Mu Ling followed behind and inquired curiously.
"Madam, what the government sent today said was a reward from the Queen Mother, so I didn't dare to open it here."
"Open and take a look......"
Mei Xueyan lifted the silk, first of all, the queen mother's scroll of Yizhi, I don't know what material silk was written, anyway, it was soft to the touch, and it looked golden and shiny.
followed by 30,000 taels of silver tickets, Mei Xueyan was not interested, she just wanted to see how much 30,000 taels of silver were piled up in one place, as for money, although the more the merrier, she herself was not short of silver flowers, so she didn't have such a big thought.
Think about it, although it is a reward from the Queen Mother, it can't be transported from the treasury of the capital for thousands of miles, but it is actually the official silver allocated by the Taiyuan Mansion.
Finally, there is a gold medal only the size of her palm, engraved with the queen mother's phoenix seal, small and delicate but heavy. According to her father-in-law, this token allows her to enter and leave the palace freely.
"Do you think it's made of real gold? Otherwise, why is it so heavy. Mei Xueyan asked.
Mu Ling said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it is the honor of the Queen Mother's reward, is it possible that Mrs. wants to use it as a money exchange?" ”
Mei Xueyan failed, so she put down her things with little interest, handed them to Mu Ling and locked them in a small box.
"You put your stuff away."
"Yes!"
Mu Ling pursed her lips, she had been forced to have crooked thoughts, and she was ready to be punished and sold afterwards, but Mei Xueyan forgave her, and now she still trusts her so much, Mu Ling's heart rose with warmth and sourness.
"By the way, is the hibiscus better?"
"I was about to tell my wife, after taking the medicine captured by Mei Ji for two days, my eldest sister's mind has really recovered, and now except for occasional nightmares, she is no different from ordinary people during the day, I will call her over......"
Mu Ling said and ran out briskly, and after a while, he led Mu Hibiscus back.
Hibiscus is no longer like the previous cloak and hair, but now she is dressed properly, her hair is neatly curled, her complexion is much better, and her eyes are not as fearful as before, but she is still a little timid and quiet.
"See Madame, thank you Madame for saving your life."
Mu Hibiscus knelt down and bowed, and as soon as Mei Xueyan looked at her, she was a little scared.
"There is no need to kneel at home, there are no such big rules, didn't you tell your sister Mu Ling?"
As the saying goes, many people are not to blame, but Mei Xueyan feels that the etiquette is too heavy and uncomfortable.
Mu Ling pulled up Mu Hibiscus and said, "It's the eldest sister who is really grateful to Madame, if it weren't for Madame, it would be difficult for our sisters to reunite in this life." ”
"Hibiscus, are you okay?"
Mei Xueyan knew that she was in the hands of human teeth before, and she was indispensable to be beaten and whipped. Mu Hibiscus looked at Mei Xueyan timidly, her wife was really young, she looked similar to her, and her face was kind, which made Mu Hibiscus relax a little.
"It's all right, and Mrs. Lao will spend money to see a doctor and get medicine for me......"
"Don't say that again." Mei Xueyan paused and said, "There are some things that shouldn't have been asked to you so early, but if you don't figure it out for a day, more people will be persecuted in depth, Mu Hibiscus, do you know what the gang of traffickers who arrested you is?" ”
At the mention of human traffickers, Hibiscus trembled slightly, but the new students in front of her were real, there was really a kind lady who saved them, not a dream, looking at Mei Xueyan, Hibiscus was much calmer, and her heart was no longer so afraid.
She had heard for a long time that Mrs. was not an ordinary person, and she had extraordinary abilities, although she didn't know what the imperial examination title was, but Mu Hibiscus knew from Mu Ling's admiring tone that Mrs. was the person who made those men feel ashamed, how Madame saved the dead, and how she helped the Chiyan Army to exterminate the rudder of the Qinglian faction, Mu Ling had said countless times.
Hibiscus could hardly believe that Madame was an ordinary person, but a god in the sky, who could do anything.
"They are the locals of Taiyuan Mansion, it is a gang for some years, the specific identity, I don't know very well, every day I can see only the dumb slave and the nurturing grandmother who deliver food, occasionally there are people with a higher status who will come to visit, we are locked in a room by more than 20 people, they will take one or two away at a time, some have never come back, and some have been tortured when they come back to be inhuman."
Mu Hibiscus spoke quite clearly, it can be seen that she used to be like Mu Ling, she was also smart and clever, but she was treated inhumanely by people, so she became timid and afraid of the world, and almost lost her mind.
"Was it bought like a wooden bell?" Mei Xueyan asked.
"Our room is not full of people, like wooden bells, those who can be sold to the rich gentry are already lucky, and those who are caught by human teeth, who have the strength to work, are to do hard labor, or sell them as slaves. For young women, ...... It is all to be trained and tamed, and then sent to the kiln, our girl in the house, is the same fate. ”
Mei Xueyan was shocked when she heard this, what kind of humanity is there in that kind of place? A group of young girls fell into the hands of brutes, and told that the earth and the earth should not be called ineffective every day, and it is no wonder that when Hibiscus was rescued, they were about to go crazy.
Mu Ling grabbed Mu Hibiscus's hand and unconsciously began to cry again.
"Actually, I'm pretty good, at first it was just beating and scolding, and people don't spoil us easily, because in their mouths, we are 'chicks', and we can be sold to customers at a high price. But there are some girls who are unlucky, and they will be ...... I've seen a few beasts in our house, taking turns giving a girl to a ...... The more she resisted, the more happy the beasts became, and the girl who had lost her body was either thrown cheaply to the kiln, or they were taken away as slaves until they were humiliated to death......"
When Hibiscus said this, her face turned pale, her lips were about to be bitten and bloody, and her body trembled, not only fear, but also anger, for her, this was the source of nightmares, the darkness that could not be understood.
It is precisely because she has been through so much despair that she knows how precious her freedom is today.
"Aren't these brutes afraid of retribution?!"
Mei Xueyan scolded, hearing Mu Hibiscus say that she couldn't help but feel chills in her heart, people are lustful for money, and they have become more vicious than beasts, what kind of suffering and despair will these girls who have no ability to resist go through when they are caught?
"If only they knew retribution......," Mu Hibiscus said in a sad voice, "Actually, we still have human form, and the worst ones are those 'human beings'." ”
