Chapter 194: Buying and Selling
PS: Revised over! Feel free to watch!
However, unexpectedly, this team was not hindered, and easily changed the customs clearance documents and left the Zhentian Pass.
Looking at the closed gate behind him, the snow was even a little unbelievable.
Is it so easy to let go?
Could it be that this is the collusion between officials and businessmen, and the relationship has already been opened?
However, when I think back to the accustomed gazes of those people on the road, I am afraid that it is not a case of one or two times.
It's easy to get out of Zhentian Pass, but what about the pass of the Qiongyue Country? Is it that simple?
At noon, I left from Zhentian Pass, and it was not until you arrived at the gate of the Qiongyue Country called Qiongtian Pass.
Compared with Zhentian Pass, the door will be closed after people are allowed to enter and exit, but the gate of this Dome Pass is open, but the pass is guarded by heavy soldiers.
As the second master of the team handed out a sign to the generals guarding the pass, and then said some words, the eyes of those generals frequently swept over the convoy, showing an ambiguous smile, and then let them enter the pass, but the people who were originally riding horses ended their horses and dismounted, and Hua Shangxue followed the fourth master and did not dare to go far.
After entering the Qiongtian Pass, a team of soldiers from the Firmament Pass immediately came to lead the way in front of them, and led the group to a post station, where all the cars were parked, and the girls were arranged in a courtyard.
As if their arrival had been anticipated, there was only one purpose for this courtyard, and that was to bathe and change clothes.
There is an indoor bathhouse in the courtyard, and the cool water temperature is just right for such a hot and humid day.
Hua Shangxue was directly rejected because of her appearance, not to mention new clothes. Even if she wanted to take a bath, it was impossible, and she even directly became a maid and asked her to bring tea and water.
In this regard, Hua Shangxue didn't say much, and did it obediently.
"Why don't you go and wash it up?" The fourth master suddenly walked out from the side, looking at Hua Shangxue holding a tray in his hand and bringing him tonight's dinner, his hair was wet and his clothes were soaked, and he couldn't help frowning and asked.
Hua Shangxue just smiled.
Unable to express in writing. You don't even want a dumb person to answer your questions.
Hua Shangxue and this fourth master's current situation is like this.
"It smells of sweat. The water in the bucket is clean, you can find a set of clothes for yourself, and bathe you first, and I will eat first. ”
Hua Shangxue tilted his head and looked at the fourth master. He'd helped her many times today.
The two have no relatives and no reason. Plus she grew into this virtue. There's no reason to help her like that.
As if seeing Hua Shangxue's doubts, the fourth master spoke: "My sister is also mute, I just saw you." It felt like seeing her. I help you just because my sister is sick with you, and I didn't have a chance to be nice to her before, but now when I want to be good to her, she is no longer there. You don't have to have any burden, the right to be me is for peace of mind, and I just take you as my sister to compensate for my life. ”
When the fourth master said this, his expression was obviously gloomy for a moment, coupled with the scar on his face that he undoubtedly caressed, Hua Shangxue seemed to understand something, but after bowing, he turned around and looked for a set of dry clothes, and directly borrowed the fourth master's bath water and washed himself from head to toe.
How long has it been since I washed like this?
Hua Shangxue sat in the bathtub, looking slightly in a trance.
However, it was only a moment of trance, and she quickly cleaned her body and changed into clean clothes.
Although the clothes are only coarse linen clothes, they look very old, but it is quite comfortable to smell the aftertaste of the sun on the clothes.
After pouring the washed dirty water, Hua Shangxue took the dirty clothes out of the river, and soon brought the water over.
The fourth master did not stop Hua Shangxue's move, but after she changed the water again, he also freshened up.
And when the fourth master was sitting in the bathtub and soaking in the bath, Hua Shangxue had already put his happy clothes in the basket on one side, and the dirty clothes were obediently taken out and went to the courtyard where he stayed, washed the clothes, and took them to dry.
I won't leave tomorrow for the time being, I will rest for one night today, and tomorrow, some of the one hundred and forty-nine girls will be auctioned at the Firmament Pass.
This is the rule every time you pass through the Vault Pass.
At the right time, in the small courtyard of the post station, the three masters arrived together and let all the girls gather together.
"There will be this auction tonight, and the people present are all with status, including the Lord Guan of the Sky Pass and several commanders, can any of you want to stay here, take a step forward, I will only select fifty people to participate in this auction, whether you can really stay depends on whether you can enter the eyes of these adults." If you don't see it, you will be sent back here and followed to the next place, if you are chosen, you will not be able to get a concubine, aunt and the like, you measure it yourself, I will give you a cup of tea to consider. If you want to try your luck, stand in front, more than 50 people I will lay off the redundant, if it is insufficient, I will directly draw to make up for it. Got it? The second master's faint voice sounded, and he sat on the Taishi chair and drank tea.
Hua Shangxue was asked by the fourth master to wait by her side, and it was precisely because of this that she had the opportunity to see the faces of the second master and the third master clearly.
The second master's age doesn't look big, only twenty-seven or eighteen, younger than the fourth master, slender figure, square face, a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes are the most eye-catching, especially those eyes are the most sharp, lightly swept away, intimidating.
The third master looks to be about thirty-five years old, his eyes are very small, he squints, and he can almost only see a slit, but this master rarely speaks from beginning to end, and Hua Shangxue is not sure whether this person is the person who traded that night, but he feels that this person is very dangerous, and he subconsciously does not want to deal with him.
After the second master's words, many of the more than 100 people came out, but there were far less than 50 people.
After waiting for a while, no one came out, and I saw the third master, who had not spoken, got up, walked into the crowd with his hands, and every time he reached out to someone, someone would pull people out of the crowd.
When the third master stopped, he counted the number of people, and there were only forty-nine people.
However, when the third master raised his eyes to look at Hua Shangxue and suddenly grinned, Hua Shangxue's heart chuckled, and he immediately understood that the last person among the fifty people was her.
It seems that this third master is ready to test his ideas with her.
She still remembered the reason why the third master kept her.
Who knew that it was impossible for him to be bought by anyone, except for the initial startle, Hua Shangxue quickly calmed down, and walked obediently from the side of the fourth master to the team of forty-nine people.
"It's clever." The third master looked at Hua Shangxue and said with a smile.
At this point, the selection of fifty candidates was completed, and then the group was led by the three masters to leave the courtyard, get into a few carriages, and leave the post station.
The car drove slowly, but after leaving the post station, it went straight to the Fengchen Street in the Qiongtian Pass.
The lights are bright, the singing and dancing are leveling, and women dressed in fancy clothes can be seen on both sides of the street throwing one after another at the men who come and go, or go directly to each other, talking and leading people into the building.
All the people in the car outside the window could see clearly, as the carriage stopped, the convoy stopped at the back door of a courtyard, and then a middle-aged woman dressed as an old bustard came out, commanding the girls who brought in, and classifying the people who got off the car according to the upper, middle and lower grades of appearance.
Perhaps he had already instructed that the old bustard did not make a fuss when he saw the snow on the flower, but just classified her into the lowest grade and led the person directly into the door.
The front yard is very lively, the singing and piano are continuous, the guests who come here are all Zhilu Dao's program tonight, the upstairs are all guests with status, and these downstairs are all three religions and nine streams, and even some are here to find a cheap mother-in-law to return home.
Fifty people said that it was not much, and it was not too much to say less.
It's impossible to say exactly how much you can leave behind.
When the dance dispersed and the sound of the piano stopped, everyone fell silent, and the highlight of the night arrived.
"Hello everyone, ladies and gentlemen. I think you all know the rules for tonight. That's right, fifty yellow flower girls, the original goods of the Jedi, from the best to the second grade, you can start if you like it, and the one with the highest price will get it. It doesn't matter if you don't like it, there will be another one tomorrow, and you can choose slowly. Don't be idle, everyone, don't be polite. Now let's take a look at the five girls who can't get up or down, don't blink. The minimum price per person is 50 taels, and the highest price wins. ”
After the arrival of the old bustard on the high platform with the girls on the stage, they introduced everyone one by one, from head to toe, and almost stripped people clean before selling.
The saliva on the stage was flying, and the shouting of the audience was jubilant.
However, the first batch of goods is not as good as the eyes of the guests on the second floor, and none of them have any expression, but the people downstairs are quite interested.
"Young master, there is urgent news that has just been delivered, it is news from Xijing City." A black figure in the corner of the second floor bowed out, but it was a man dressed in black and a scimitar hanging from his waist, whispering in the ear of the white-clothed boy, and then handed out a small messenger bamboo tube.
The good-looking brows of the white-clothed boy frowned slightly, the slender big eyes narrowed slightly, pursed his lips and took the bamboo tube, unfolded the letterhead inside and saw that after reading the content, a deep anger brewed in the eyes of the white-clothed man, and a chill instantly spread, making the entourage unconsciously straighten their waists.
The man in white snorted coldly, and Huo De stood up, "What about people? ”
"In the Guanglai Inn, room No. 3 of Tianzi."
"You two stay, you lead the way." The man in white said to the accompanying guards, and then turned around and went downstairs with the man in black who came to deliver the message. And just as the man in white turned to leave, Hua Shangxue was sent to the stage with the four girls, and let the people in the audience frequently look at him, pointing and talking.
"I've seen the medium color, how about the inferior color? There is a comparison to know whether the road is good or not. This girl's dignity is naturally impossible to sell, isn't this a pit for you. Let's have credibility, let her come out in order to have a comparison, after seeing her, you sons and daughters look at the other four, isn't it more spiritual? I said ......" (To be continued......
