Chapter 69
"There are really all kinds of people in the Western Regions, there are people like Bayatu, and there are also people who use swords and guns when they don't agree with ......."
Yi Chenzi shook his head and sighed when he heard the song, Wei Yuan lifted the curtain of the car, and only saw a white expanse, and the big tent where Bayatu and them were had long been invisible. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"At least what we've encountered is still pure." Wei Yuan sighed lightly.
When she left, she gave the girl a few peace charms, thinking that she would not know what they were, but she didn't expect the girl to recognize it quickly: "This is the kind of talisman paper left by the gods in the hands of the wizard, right?" ”
"Sister, this is too precious......"
The girl subconsciously shirked it, and in her memory, it would take a lot of cattle and sheep to get this kind of thing back.
"It's not valuable, this is my sister's own doing, you give a share to the people in the family......"
The girl didn't know what to give Wei Yuan, thought for a while, took off the sheep bone skewer around her neck and handed it to Wei Yuan: "Sister, in our place, this is for the person who cares about it the most, with our blessings in it, I give this to you, I hope you are safe." ”
Wei Yuan wanted to shirk it, but seeing the girl's firm expression, he had to accept it.
The string of beads has been ground into the shape of round beads, and there is a faint layer of pulp on the surface, presumably because the girl often plays with it.
"I've never seen someone as interesting as Bayatu." Speaking of this, Yi Chenzi was so happy that his mouth couldn't close his smile.
Wei Yuan glanced at him speechlessly, Bayatu is a sincere person, and he is often played by Yi Lao, but in Yi Lao's heart, isn't that interesting.
I found the city in the direction pointed out by Bayatu, the city was not big, but it was very lively, and I don't know what kind of power it was that could crush those merchants and Tatars to death, and they did not dare to exceed half a cent in full accordance with the rules of the trade.
Wei Yuan and they bought food on the road, and Yichenzi shouted that they wanted to have a good rest, there was nothing important, so a group of people found a house in the city to live in, and prepared to rest for more than ten days before setting off.
Without stepping out of the city wall, Wei Yuan would not feel that he was in the Western Regions now, the cries from the streets, and the fragrance wafting from the stalls in the alleys were all so familiar, but with a slightly different feeling.
"It was a place where slaves were bought and sold, and there were warriors from various tribes and many women......
Wei Yuan found a guide who could speak Da Zhou dialect, led her through the streets and alleys, and introduced the situation in each place.
"Slave market?"
Wei Yuan looked at the messy place from afar, he didn't expect that there would be a slave market in such a place with such a strong atmosphere of life.
"This is inevitable, the forces on the grassland change quickly, and those who cling to those forces to survive are also a kind of wealth, and the winner will definitely sell this wealth to the slave owners to sell ......"
"Actually, you Da Zhou also have this kind of person, but the name is different, those who sell themselves to big families as maids, and those who are pulled to see their teeth, are no different from this......"
"The tooth shop and the slave market are the same......"
The foreign child, with white skin and slightly yellowish hair, had a serious way, and he didn't know where he had heard about it.
Wei Yuan was stunned, she hadn't completely integrated into this world, so she felt that these were really incredible.
"It's still a little different, those people are not sold as victory goods by robbers, most of them are willing to eat to eat, and they can get the money that they sold themselves, which is the most important thing."
Wei Yuan thought for a while, and didn't know whether to comfort himself or say these words with that inexplicable feeling.
The child does not understand that both are sold, what is the difference between this.
"Would you like to check it out?"
The child changed the topic and did not continue to discuss the topic with Wei Yuan, "There are many dancing girls there, and I heard that there is a tribe of people who are naturally extremely beautiful, both male and female, and their singing voice is like a lark, and their skin is as smooth as the finest silk......
Wei Yuan knew from his eyes that he had not seen such a naturally beautiful person, but he just learned these words from somewhere.
"Then let's go check it out."
Wei Yuan nodded, she was afraid that she would see that kind of situation, but she felt that she had to go in and bring out a few people.
"Hey."
The child happily responded, this sister is the best person he has ever received, along the way, he will buy a little bit of everything he introduced, taste it, take a look.
If he succeeds this time, he will be able to get a few copper coins from the slave owner.
In fact, there will always be situations you can't imagine. The slaves were shackled and locked up in a cell-like room.
The buyer can see through the fence inside, and if he sees the middle eye, he has the slave owner drag it out for the buyer to see.
Those people seemed to have become accustomed to being looked at like this, and they did not change their colors when they saw the buyer come in, and still stood with tired faces on their faces.
"What do you want to see?"
The slave owner glanced at Wei Yuan's dress, and immediately greeted him happily.
"I'll take a look first."
The more Wei Yuan looked at it, the more frightened he became, there was almost no life on the faces of those people, as if survival was already out of reach for them.
The slave owner followed Wei Yuan through the three fences, and seeing that Wei Yuan still hadn't made up his mind, he called a slave to receive him.
Wei Yuan circled, and he couldn't tell what the expression was on his face, maybe he had no expression for a long time.
"Girl, have you thought about it? Our slaves here are the most well-behaved, and they only need to give her a thin meal to drink every day when they buy it, and they won't starve to death. ”
The slave owner grinned and sneered.
Wei Yuan glanced at him coldly, and there was a bit more momentum in his eyes.
"Two ...... over there"
Wei Yuan pointed to the two female slaves standing in the corner shivering, compared to the emotionless death on the faces of the others, only the two still had a little emotion on their faces, maybe they were afraid, maybe they were cold, they were not the living dead.
"Those two......
The slave owner's voice dragged on for a long time, intending to see Wei Yuan's expression, but he didn't see anything, so he had to say: "The two of them have been trained by us, if the girl thinks it's okay, take fifty taels of silver." ”
When the slave owner bought these two girls, he sent them with a group of samurai, and he didn't spend money at all, and at this time, he said that fifty taels was just a matter of seeing Wei Yuan wearing and sitting on the ground.
The slave owner waited for Wei Yuan to return the price.
Wei Yuan didn't want to bargain over this kind of thing, so he threw away the fifty taels of silver tickets, so he called someone to bring people out.
"Turn the shackles on."
Wei Yuan closed his eyes slightly and pointed to the shackles on the girl's feet.
"Don't worry, girl, we have all trained this, and we will never run away, if you don't like it, you will sell it......"
Wei Yuan didn't know how he got back to the house, so he asked the maids to take the two slave girls to wash.
"This is your clothes, jewelry or something, you can't buy anything good here, we'll buy it when we go back to Da Zhou, you can be a third-class maid now, ...... every month"
The big girl took two sets of clothes and handed them to the two, and the other gave them a silver hairpin, and the two looked at the girl in amazement, and some did not understand why they wanted to wear such beautiful clothes.
I thought I was going to let myself do something, but later I found out that Danfan was a maid and dressed so beautifully......
I'm afraid that the most powerful people wouldn't be so extravagant and wasteful.
The two of them followed the others in a daze, but they didn't eat.
Amin touched his belly, which was still hungry, and calculated in his heart that this was already much better than other homes, at least no one would beat or scold him.
"I just don't know what we're going to do."
Amin secretly said to Ah Ying that if she let them wear such beautiful clothes, it is estimated that she would let them serve the eldest master.
Ah Ying didn't see the main family in this courtyard, so she had to shake her head secretly.
"Just go to Miss Wei's side and listen to the call."
A grandmother commanded.
Wei Yuan is used to being alone, but Xiao Jinyu still arranged two maids for her, and she usually has nothing to do.
Mama asked them to take them to Wei Yuan, and left in a hurry.
The two of them cautiously followed the little maid into a courtyard, and when they reached the door of a room, they heard only a low voice from inside.
"The two of them were brought back by the girl, and you took them with you to serve the girl."
The little maid pointed at the two, the two maids nodded, walked over and took their hands, and said enthusiastically: "The two sisters are so beautiful, and we have relatively few things here, so you can follow us in the next few days." ”
Amin was more clever and nodded busily, but Ah Ying stood behind with a sad face, they used to be dancing girls, and they could only dance, I don't know if the people of Da Zhou like to watch their dances, but the others...... They don't know anything.
The two maids led them into the house: "There are relatively few things here, and the girl usually has nothing to do, so we embroider purses here to make insoles, do you know how to embroider?"
The two of them watched blankly, and the two of them took a thread and shuttled back and forth on a handkerchief, and they conjured beautiful flowers and birds.
"Is this a fairy spell?" A-Ying asked stupidly.
The two maids were stunned for a moment, and immediately burst out laughing: "This is not a fairy spell, in our Great Zhou, this is something that everyone has to learn."
After a pause, the two maids remembered that the girl would not know these things, but it was difficult to continue to explain them to them.
Being a good teacher is a virtue that everyone has. The two maids taught them to thread the needle, and the two of them had never seen anything, so they couldn't close their mouths together, and clumsily pinched the needle and pulled it through the handkerchief.
The two embroidered a four-like, one long thread after another intertwined into a mess of things that could not be seen, the two were a little timid, I heard that the price of this silk thread is not low......
"It's already very good, and the first time we embroidered it was about ...... now."
The two maids comforted, picked up a thread and handed it to them.
It didn't take long for the two of them to barely knot the thread.
The two maids looked at the time: "It's almost time, I'm afraid the girl is going to eat, let's go and prepare......"
The two hurriedly put down the work in their hands, followed the two maids out of the courtyard, and arranged the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks.
Occasionally, Yichenzi would come to the courtyard to eat with Wei Yuan, so those should also be prepared.
The two of them hurriedly followed, but they couldn't intervene, not knowing what they could do.
"Just set these up, I'll go to the kitchen and get the food......"
A maid walked outside as she spoke, and came back after a while: "It was said that the girl went to Yi Lao's, but she came to eat, and the food box Qingju was sent to us......"
The maid raised the food box in her hand, and the two couldn't figure out why they had cleaned up so much, but they had prepared it for themselves.
"These ......," Amin was stunned, "these are what we gave us?" ”
The maid smiled: "Yes, these are all conventional......"
Two or three days passed, and the two female slaves that Wei Yuan bought back that day had gradually become familiar with this kind of living habits.
When I get up in the morning, I can drink a bowl of porridge, which is filled with sweet and fragrant dried fruits, boiled and blooming, soft and thick.
Then he began to clean up the yard, sprinkled the ash with clean water, and then cleaned up the tables, chairs, cabinets and shelves in the house, because there was too much ash in the desert, and if these things were done by a special rough mother-in-law in Da Zhou, they would not be as dirty as fast.
In addition to these trivial things, it is to help Wei Yuan run errands and buy some things, and it is usually not a big deal, but walking in the desert is always better than in the yard.
After eating at noon, there was nothing to do, sitting in the yard embroidering and sewing purses, and the two of them also learned something. What surprised the two of them the most was that they ate three meals a day here, which is the treatment of aristocratic lords!
The most rare thing seems that no one will whip them with a whip, and that day A-Ying broke a vase, and she was only muttered a few words by such a grandmother, as if she wanted to deduct some money, but the first time it was over......
It's good that this time it's over, otherwise where would they have any money......
After a few days, when it came to the day of the monthly payment, the mother muttered that the two maids were clumsy and clumsy, and they also broke the vase, and they came for less than a month......
Although I read so much, I still sent the two of them a month's monthly money - a hanging money.
"This one is for us?"
The two of them couldn't believe it, they took the monthly money and looked left and right, carefully counting the copper coins one by one, and they couldn't believe that they could still get the money.
"This is the monthly money, once a month, you have been doing well these days, the girl is merciful, let the grandmother send you a month's money, otherwise you won't get the money in such a short time."
The maid who was together was worried that the two would misunderstand, so she carefully explained that this kind of thing is only sent once a month, and deliberately said that it was Wei Yuan's confession, but in fact, Wei Yuan couldn't interfere with this kind of monthly money.
