After walking on the road for two days, the ox cart was finally driven into the county seat of Yuxian County.

Xu had arranged it in advance, and the ox cart went directly into a compound.

Yaoguang got out of the car with everyone, looked around, and found that many men and women were standing aside and looking at them, including an acquaintance, Aunt Zhao.

They cast a look like a customer picking goods in the market, serious and careful.

"Stand still, stand still!" the official walked over and pulled the women huddled together and stood facing the group.

The county lieutenant, who was wearing a dark red eagle claw regimental robe, a narrow-brimmed round hat of the same color, and a three-foot long sword at his waist, walked to the center of the two groups of people, and the eagle's eyes first swept around the crowd, and then cleared his throat and said loudly:

"Listen, this is the woman in the Wind Village. Although most of them were also taken captive to the mountains, they have been with the bandits for a long time, and they have also become into some habits of getting something for nothing, or have learned some tricks of deception and abduction.

The county magistrate spoke, in order to maintain the safety of Yu County, he would rather misestimate than slip through the net!

Therefore, from now on, their status as good citizens will be revoked, and all of them will be classified as untouchables.

You see, if there is a need for servitude or other use, even if you buy it here, it is a fixed price, ten copper plates each.

If you want to buy it, come here and sign it. ”

After the county lieutenant finished speaking, he pointed to the place where the tables and chairs had been set up and the trading documents had been placed on the side, and he no longer cared about the group of people, and swaggered out of the compound.

On this side, the women finally understood what the county lieutenant meant, and their faces turned pale with fright.

They have thought about all kinds of ends, but they didn't expect that they would be deprived of their status as good citizens, and from then on they would have no dignity and be slaughtered, this, what is the difference between this and staying in a bandit's den!

That is the existence of the master who beats, scolds, abuses and even kills at will, and the government will not interfere!

Women, whether they are as dull as Wanniang or open-minded as Yuniang, began to cry regardless of their image, for their own tragic experience, but also for a future without tomorrow.

Yaoguang didn't express much, but looked towards the door.

It was the only exit from the courtyard, and two tall and sturdy officials were standing there to prevent anyone from escaping.

However, their worries were unfounded. The women looked sad and angry now, and there was no room to think about anything else.

Soon, people stepped forward to judge the women, listening to that tone, they didn't have much interest, and felt that ten copper plates were expensive.

"Ah, isn't this a big girl?"

Suddenly, a pair of fat hands pulled Yaoguang out of the crowd.

"Hey, what's the matter, I've taken a fancy to this girl first!" Then another sharp voice rang out.

Yaoguang turned his head to look, heh, Aunt Zhao and another woman pulled her with one arm left and right, looking like they wanted to take it for themselves.

"I said, Aunt Liu, don't we have to talk about first-come, first-come, first-come, right?" Aunt Zhao said to the woman with a smile.

"Yes, isn't that what I fancied first!" The woman's posture was only fatter than Aunt Zhao's, and her attitude was softened at this time, but she grabbed the arm in her hand, but she didn't let go.

Aunt Zhao patiently explained: "Yao Daya was bought by me from Dashan Village, if it wasn't for the fact that the wind village snatched it halfway, how could she be reduced to the point where she is now?

Aunt Liu glared, looked at Yaoguang carefully again, didn't ask her, and said straight to Aunt Zhao: "We are all understanding people, this girl is still a chick, you said that she was taken captive up the mountain, why didn't she break her body?

The more Aunt Liu thought about it, the more terrible she felt, so she quickly let go of her hand and walked aside.

Yaoguang simply admires Aunt Liu too much, this IQ is really high, and it is basically close to the truth!

However, Aunt Zhao seems to be unimpressed by this, she originally suffered a loss in Jin Ye's place, and now she accidentally found that the goods were in good condition, she was too late to be happy, where did she have the time to consider those who did not.

So, she didn't chat with Yaoguang, and hurriedly pulled people to the table where the paperwork was handled, took out ten copper plates and handed them to the official, and then took the deed of sale and signed her name.

The official didn't have time to take a closer look at Yaoguang's face, stamped a seal on the deed of sale, handed it to Aunt Zhao, and pointed to the back: "Go ahead." ”

Aunt Zhao thanked her, pulled Yaoguang into a room where screams came from.

Yaoguang's heart tightened, and his steps slowed down a little, this can't be to brand her or something, right?

After all, it is not a modern society, there is no such thing as an ID card, and the only way to distinguish between good citizens and untouchables is to use the most primitive means.

Aunt Zhao guessed that Yaoguang was afraid, so she actually patted her on the shoulder and patiently coaxed: "Hey, this is also your life! Originally, you entered Changchun Garden as a good citizen, maybe you can still be good in the future with your own ability, but now, you can only stay there in peace, in short, you can't be hungry." You can bear with the soldering iron later, and it will be fine for a while. ”

Yaoguang was pulled by Aunt Zhao and had already entered the house, and there were two women lined up in front, a Cui Niang and a Wan Niang, who happened to be the most honest and gentle in the Wind Village, but the one in front seemed to be Yu Niang, when they were just branded with a soldering iron, the two of them were frightened by the scene, and now they looked sluggish, completely like marionettes, and were led to go there.

Yaoguang's face was extremely ugly, and she couldn't describe her mood at the moment in words, and a raging fire made her want to burn these man-eating demons to death!

"Thunderbeast!"

She couldn't bear it anymore and finally called out the thunder beast.

The thunder beast had been hiding around her, and it didn't feel anything about this scene, but Yaoguang was so hot, it jumped out in response, and by the way, it froze the time here, and then asked cautiously, "What's wrong, Yaoguang?"

Yaoguang's clenched fists loosened again, looked at the people standing still like bronze statues in front of him, and asked softly, "Can you save these women?"

The thunder beast looked up at Yaoguang, who frowned slightly, at this time, she was different from the previous time and space, and while changing her fate, she began to pay attention to other people.

It didn't know if it was a good thing, so it just said what it thought: "Of course you can save it, but what about after that? You can save them for a while, but you can't save them for a lifetime."

The times are like this, men are inferior to women, and the thinking is outdated. Even if you get them out, they won't necessarily thank you as much as you think. ”

"I didn't want them to thank me, but I couldn't get used to this kind of animal-like treatment. Yaoguang's emotions calmed down a lot, now think about it, if they really make a move at this time, then where is their way out in the future?

Without the Wind Village, without the status of a good citizen, she even deprived them of the last chance to survive, right?

Unless, she goes to build an independent kingdom.

But how is that possible?

She was too busy to take care of herself!

"That's it, I'm too naïve!" Yaoguang glanced at the Thunder Beast, smiled again, and said, "You have to help me, I don't want to brand that thing on my face!"

Hearing this, the thunder beast also breathed a sigh of relief, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Don't worry, I'll make you a mark that is enough to make a mess." ”

So, in this way, with the help of the Thunder Beast, Yaoguang was spared the pain of skin and flesh, and followed Aunt Zhao to a Changchun Garden located in the prosperous area of the county.

Changchun Garden is very large, is a large courtyard with three entrances, it is said that it was the house of a court dignitary of Zhishi in the past, because he stood on the wrong side in the power struggle, and was raided by the new emperor who ascended the throne, and this house changed hands several times, and finally became what it is today.

When Aunt Zhao brought her over, it was just after noon, and the yard was very quiet, except for the handyman cleaning slowly, it was the proprietress Mandarin Niang who sat in the flower hall to watch the accounts.

"Yo, isn't this Aunt Zhao? I haven't seen you for a long time, what kind of good girl have you found for me again?"

"Boss, thanks to you, I have indeed found a good one for you!" As soon as Aunt Zhao entered the door, she blessed the woman sitting on the Taishi's chair.

Mandarin Niang is about forty years old, and occasionally shows a pinch or two of silver threads on her hairpin surrounded by pearl hairpins, but this does not make her look very old.

The mandarin girl waved her hand, and the middle-aged man in the moon-white robe standing on the side gathered the account book and withdrew from the flower hall, and the maid who was fanning on the side glanced at Aunt Zhao. Aunt Zhao understood, and quickly pulled Yaoguang over, stood in front of Mandarin Niang, and waited to speak.

Mandarin Niang's eyelids didn't lift, she picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then slowly cast her lazy gaze to Yaoguang with a calm face.

"Yo, where did this little fairy daughter come from?" Mandarin Niang exclaimed, got down from the Taishi chair, took two steps forward, looked Yaoguang up and down, and carefully looked at it, and when she saw a small brand on her forehead, she suddenly burst into tears, and she didn't dislike Yaoguang covered in dust, and hugged people into her arms, crying vigorously:

"Hey, what kind of sin is this, killing a thousand knives, making my good daughter look like this!"

When Aunt Zhao saw Mandarin Niang like this, she didn't know where she had the right appetite, so she hurriedly squeezed her face full of wrinkles and stepped forward to explain:

"Isn't it a big crime, the girl from a good family followed me to the county to beg for a living, who would have expected to meet the gang of bastards in the wind village!

It's also this girl who is blessed with a great life, and she hasn't been damaged yet, no, she just happened to be saved by the county master.

It's a pity, I can't be a good citizen anymore, so I have to come to you, I hope that Mandarin Niang will pity her and reward her with a bowl of rice. ”

Mandarin Niang let go of Yaoguang, took out an embroidered handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then took Yaoguang's hand, her face full of love:

"This child is in my eyes, I want it!

Poor man, since he came to Changchun Garden, we will write off the past. Look at your delicate and beautiful water spirit, call the water spirit in the future!

I am the shopkeeper here, and if you call me Mom, you are the baby that my Mandarin Niang puts on the tip of my heart!

Don't worry, as long as you are obedient, your mother will spoil you to heaven!"

After speaking, Mandarin Niang caressed Yaoguang's cheek, called another girl named Xing'er, and asked her to take Yaoguang down to clean up.

And Aunt Zhao took out a deed of sale and began to bargain with Yuanniang about Yaoguang's resale price.

Yaoguang, who was speechless throughout the whole process, was not interested in this, and under the leadership of Xing'er, he came to a place similar to a bath, and then under Xing'er's warm service, he took the first bath in this time and space.

"It's been a drought for more than a year, and Changchun Garden still has extra water for bathing?"

Yaoguang and Xing'er gradually became familiar with each other, so they asked casually.

Xing'er is about the same age as Yao Daya, and she has been here for more than two years, because of her thick bones and mediocre appearance, she was arranged by Mandarin Niang to be an errand girl.

She has a lively temperament, and likes to circle around the beautiful girls in the garden, and according to her own words, maybe after staying with the beautiful girls for a long time, she will become more beautiful.

Yao Guang thought it was funny when she first heard it, beautiful is not necessarily a good thing, in her opinion, in this Changchun Garden, ugly, maybe more comfortable to live.

Xing'er listened to Yaoguang's question, and while rubbing her back, she said proudly: "Of course, Changchun Garden is a place where dignitaries and dignitaries with heads and faces in Yuxian County often come."

Think about it, if you don't even have a thorough preparation for eating, drinking, and Lazar like this, how can you serve those masters? Not to mention the drought outside for a year, even if it is another ten or eight years of drought, we will still have what we want in Changchun Garden. ”

"Ah!" Yaoguang nodded with his mouth open, it seems that in the face of natural disasters, the unlucky ones have always been ordinary people, dignitaries and dignitaries and these pastimes that depend on them have not been affected much.

"Besides, you don't know," Xing'er suddenly leaned next to Yaoguang's ear and whispered: "Our boss lady has a background, and she doesn't even have to kneel when she sees the county master!" Xing'er scooped up the water and began to wash Yaoguang's hair, Yaoguang was not used to it, and said that she would come, Xing'er quickly shook her head, saying that this was her duty.

So, Yaoguang had no choice but to close his eyes and listen to her articulate gossip while enjoying Xing'er's thoughtful service.

"Didn't the imperial court send someone to send the disaster relief grain, and now, our garden business will return to the way it used to be. ”

According to Xing'er full of pride, at that time, Changchun Garden was full of lights and wine, and there was an endless stream of guests.

As a result, with the arrival of General Huaiyuan's disaster relief food, the drought in Yuxian County finally showed a hint of relief.

And one day three months after Yaoguang entered Changchun Garden, thunder and lightning, wind and rain, this drought for more than a year finally ushered in a long-lost heavy rain.

Yaoguang was arranged by Mandarin Niang, and the masters of Changchun Garden began to earnestly study qin, chess, calligraphy, painting and dignified manners, so that two years later, when he died, he became another popular brand in Changchun Garden.
