Chapter 15: Oiran Bidding
Seeing Yi Cheng's gloomy face, Sanniang said: "Childe go to the front hall to sit for a while, I'll go and ask someone to ask a girl who is familiar with Ningshuang, maybe I can get clues." ”
Seeing Yi Cheng nodding, he summoned a handyman to give a few instructions and let him go to the front hall.
Yi Cheng was unhappy in his heart and didn't say a word. Seeing Yi Cheng's gloomy face, the other people didn't dare to speak.
At this time, the seven girls also gathered together, their eyes were all staring at Yi Cheng, their young eyes were full of curiosity, and they all looked at Yi Cheng's eyes with expectations if they knew a little about things, hoping that they would also have such a brother to find themselves and take them out of this desolate place.
Yi Cheng looked at them, bitter in his heart, and made a decision after pondering for a moment. asked Cui Quanyou: "You bought them all?" ”
Cui Quanyou said: "Yes, most of them can't survive at home, so they sold here."
Yi Cheng sneered when he heard this: "So you are doing a good deed? ”
Cui Quanyou's face was embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer, so he didn't dare to speak on the side.
Yi Cheng stood up, walked over to the children, and said, "Come with me, I'll take you out of here." ”
The older children were so happy when they heard that some of them cried. Qing Yao even knelt on the ground and bowed to Yi Cheng, thanking him more than once.
Yi Cheng stopped them, didn't look at the three of them, and wanted to take them away.
But seeing Sanniang's hesitant face, she finally stepped forward and said to Yi Cheng: "Young Master Xiao, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the Qi Gang Master to explain if you do this, please leave these children in front of the Tianwei Gang." ”
Yi Cheng looked at Sanniang with an idiot expression and said, "Do you think that if I beat the people of the Tianwei Gang here, will the Tianwei Gang still rest with me?" Since I dare to do this, I am not afraid of offending the Tianwei Gang. However, it seems that except for Qi Mingxuan, the Tianwei Gang is not enough for everyone else. ”
After speaking, he glanced at Sanniang coldly and walked forward. He didn't take a few steps but stopped again, because he found that Qiu Cicada was not walking with the other children, but just stood there with a hesitant face.
Yi Cheng was a little curious, walked over and asked, "Don't you want to leave here?" ”
Qiu Cicada replied, "Can Childe tell me to leave here and we go there?" ”
Yi Cheng didn't expect Qiu Cicada to have such a mind, he was stunned for a moment and then said: "I will find a stable place for you, although I can't guarantee you fine clothes and food, but you can also avoid being bullied and live a peaceful life, as for where to go, it is inconvenient to say now." ”
Qiu Chan listened to Yi Cheng's words, thought about it a little and said: "Thank you Gongzi for your kindness, Qiu Cicada is reluctant to leave here, I just hope that Gongzi can find a good home for my sisters." ”
Yi Cheng was very puzzled, and asked suspiciously, "Can you tell me what is going on?" Now that I can take you away, I can guarantee your safety, and you don't have to worry about someone embarrassing you, if you have to leave again after this time, it will not be so easy. ”
After speaking, he also looked at Sanniang and Cui Quanyou, thinking that they had something to blackmail Qiu Chan.
was so frightened that the two of them repeatedly tweeted that it had nothing to do with them, and Qiu Chan also came up at this time and said: "This matter has nothing to do with Sanniang and Steward Cui, I am willing to stay." ”
"Why is that?" Yi Cheng became more and more strange, could it be that there were really people in this world who were willing to suffer here?
"Autumn Cicada has been looking forward to being an Oiran one day since she was a child, so she has failed Childe's kindness, please don't blame Childe." Autumn Cicada explained.
Jia Liu saw that Yi Cheng still didn't know what was going on at this time, and he expected that he didn't know what an Oiran was, so he explained.
It turns out that every few years, the Qinglou in the city will pick out a few excellent girls who have been raised since childhood and have not yet come out of the pavilion to pick up customers, and arrange a list of famous flowers together, and the first place is the Oiran.
At the end of the competition, the girls of each family will become famous, and then there will be those sons of families or businessmen who are rich enough to spend money to ransom these women, take them as concubines or raise them outside as lovers.
This is also a hope for these girls, at least they can live a few years of fine clothes and food, and they will have no worries about food and clothing in this life when they meet a little affection.
Yi Cheng listened, Fang understood the thoughts of this Qiu Cicada, although he had the heart to save these children from leaving, but if he was unwilling, Yi Cheng would not force it.
Everyone has their own path and gives their own choice, and Qiu Chan's insistence on staying here is also her own decision.
So he said: "Since you have chosen so, I don't force it, as long as you don't regret it in the future." ”
Then he looked at Qing Yao and a few other girls and asked, "Are you all willing to go with me?" ”
Qing Yao and the three ten-year-old children all nodded and said yes, but only two four or five-year-old children were still at a loss.
Yi Cheng was not verbose, and said to Qing Yao: "Take them with me!" With that, he walked to the front hall.
Back in the front hall, let Cui Quanyou go down, Sanniang and Jia Liu followed behind Yi Cheng and didn't dare to leave.
Not long ago, the little guy sent by Sanniang to inquire about the news of Ning Shuang just now walked in, but he didn't hear the whereabouts of Ning Shuang, Yi Cheng was disappointed, but he could only look for it in the future, at least now he knew that Dao Ming was safe and sound, and his heart was a little peaceful.
The top priority is to get out of here, although Yi Cheng can't win the battle of Qi Mingxuan, it is not difficult to escape alone, but now with six children, Yi Cheng does not want to have any more trouble.
Yi Cheng took a few children, together with Jia Liusanniang and the others, out of the private room and came to the hall on the first floor, but saw that the hall was full of people at this time.
It turned out that the Oiran of this year's famous flower list was Su Rumeng of Cuiyue Xuan, so the ten famous flowers on the list chose the main one in this Cuiyue Xuan today.
To put it bluntly, it is like selling goods in an auction hall, where those wealthy businessmen and dignitaries bid for the girls they like.
Yi Cheng has never entered the auction hall, so he is curious about it, but at this moment, those auctions are not goods, but bright and moving women, Yi Cheng thought that his sister almost followed in their footsteps, and couldn't help but feel sad, and his interest was gone. I want to get out of here.
At this time, the bidding in the field has reached its climax, and the first nine people have their own buyers, and now there is only one girl on the stage, that is, this year's Oiran Su Rumeng.
There were only three people still bidding in the field, a fat middle-aged man, dressed in extreme luxury, the clothes were robe woven of fine cloud satin, the corners and corners were inlaid with gold threads, the ten fingers on his hands were each with rings inlaid with gems, and a square hat on his head was inlaid with huge pearls in front of him.
The other person was twenty years old, and he was extremely delicate, and he couldn't stop fanning a folding fan in his hand, and he was obviously very anxious in his heart, and a white-haired old man who looked like a housekeeper beside him couldn't help persuading.
The last person is a young man in brocade, about thirty years old, with a calm face and a cold expression, and the two entourages next to him have martial arts cultivation, obviously the young man's status is not low.
This is when the price has reached 7,000 taels of silver, and the young man has to increase the price, and the housekeeper next to him stopped him and said: "Young master, you can't add it anymore, the master explained before his death that these silver are for you to study and catch the exam, if it is all spent, how can it be good, the master's only wish is that you can get fame and fame, and find an official and a half-job, so as not to be a small official like him, and be angry all your life." Young master, you can't forget all the words of the master for the sake of a woman! ”
When the young man heard this, he said: "Uncle Zhong, don't persuade me, I can't save Rumeng from the sea of suffering, and I have no intention of studying. ”
When the old man heard this, he knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he said: "Young master, let's just have such a little family background, even if we use it all, we can't earn the son of the rich man and the county guard!" ”
When the young man heard this, he was also helpless, and sighed: "I'll bid first, if it still doesn't work, it will also be the life of me and Rumeng." ”
