Silver is indeed a good thing, white, bright, eye-catching, and itchy, and I want to bite into it......

However, think about it, this is also one of the currencies in circulation, and there are more people and more bacteria; There are more people biting, this ...... It's hairy when you think about it, but let's not bite.

Twenty taels of warped silver ingots, ten, twenty small silver ingots of ten taels, plus forty small silver ingots of one or two, and five taels of broken silver, add up, this weight, okay...... Actually, it's really heavy enough.

However, when you hold it in your hand, it is heavy and full of texture.

Even if she can hold it, she has to say that she can't do it, because it is too unreasonable; Therefore, the burden was thrown to the eldest brother, and she just played with the broken silver in her hand.

"Why don't you want a silver ticket!" Helian Qingtian didn't know when he walked to Mengfan's side, he didn't care about how attractive his little Taoist priest with red lips and white teeth was in the eyes of the pedestrians on the street; He frowned and asked the little woman beside him who was only shoulder-high as him.

"This is a small town and a village, and the silver ticket is at least one hundred and twenty-one, if you take it out and use it on weekdays, ordinary people can't find it at all, and I estimate that it won't be long before I have to use it, in exchange for it, how troublesome!"

Before going out, the person next to him was in a low mood, but at this time, he took the initiative to open his mouth, and his tone was soft, and she responded to his curiosity gently.

"This little bit of silver, although it is not a lot, but in this small town and village, it is also a lot of money; How old are you? Dare to use it so unscrupulously? ”

Helian Qingtian was puzzled and raised his eyebrows, very puzzled.

"What's not to dare to use? This is my own money, and I use it myself, isn't it right? Meng Fan turned his head and looked at Helian Qingtian: "Do you have an opinion?" ”

"What can I say?" Helian Qingtian flattened his lips and asked again: "Where can you use it?" There is food and shelter on weekdays; Buying clothes? Well, it's time for you to buy some proper clothes; But it doesn't cost a lot of money, in this town, I just took a cursory look, and I didn't see any good materials, they are all coarse cloth clothes worn by ordinary people, and there are a few satin, and the color is not suitable for a little woman of your age...... Buying jewelry? Is there a good gold and silver shop here...... Buying rouge gouache? Helian Qingtian turned his face again and looked at it carefully: "You...... Don't. ”

Nonsense, rouge gouache, is it what she should use at her age? In modern times, she is too lazy to use it; Three points for appearance and seven points for dress; On the contrary, if you have seven points of looks, how much do you need to dress up?

As for food and shelter? The food is all made by herself, what do you live in...... Well, you have to hurry up and buy a homestead where you can build a house, and by the way, buy some fields and land.

As for the need for adults, it's simple, she buys someone first! The eldest brother is the one who knows her mind the most.

"Don't buy those." Meng Fan pursed his lips, his eyes were facing forward, and Helian Yutian, who was following Lan Bao'er beside him, turned his head at this time and glanced at her: "Do you want to go now?" ”

"Hmm!"

Mengfan nodded and smiled sweetly back.

"Where?" Helian Qingtian wondered again.

"Go to West Street and find Ya Pozi to buy slaves and maids!" I wanted to say that you would know the Tao, but if you think about it, everyone has lowered their posture to speak, which is rare; It's better to answer briskly.

At this moment, Helian Qingtian nodded: "Indeed, you should buy a few slaves and maids to wait, but it won't cost a few dollars......"

He was still struggling with how to use Mengfan's more cash.

This kid ......

West Street is a legal place for buying and selling slaves and maids in Qingquan Town, and there are generally several sources of slaves and maids here;

Some, because the family is extremely poor, and the children have many children, and they can't support so many, so they sell their daughters in exchange for some silver to buy food to support their sons, and if they sign the death deed and sell it, they will get more silver, and if they sign the life deed, they will have ten or eight years, and when they have the money, they can redeem it; In this way, the family received relatively little silver;

But if you are not ruthless, or who really can't live a good life, how many of them will sell their sons and daughters?

Some of them are sold by the official family, called official slaves, and slaves and maids of this status have not been pardoned by the emperor himself, and they are the lives of slaves and maids for a lifetime.

Some of them were bought from other places by people or tooth women, and as for how they got it, the government can't control it so much, as long as the taxes and silver are paid in full, there is generally no big problem.

Others sell themselves; This kind of thing, no one has anything to do with the tooth and the tooth woman; As long as both parties are willing to sign a contract of sale.

However, no matter which one it is, it is best to go to the special government secretary in the government, and the main family will pay the silver, and the government will issue a red deed with the official seal, so that the buyer's family will feel more comfortable.

Because, as long as the slaves and maids bought, the master holds the red deed given by the government in his hand, then whether you sell the slaves and maids monopolly, give them away, or beat them to death, it is legal......

This is a kind of cancer that really exists in the long river of history, which is peculiar to the feudal society with a strong sense of exploitation, and which is resolutely resisted by the modern legal society where human rights are supreme.

Of course, this is not the time to talk about this......

It is true that she is a modern soul, but now that she lives in this ancient time and space, it is necessary to follow the customs of the locals; Moreover, as long as she can be a master who does not treat slaves and maids harshly, and the welfare benefits are sufficient, maybe for some people who can't live a good life, this is also a good thing.

The color of the roof tiles on West Street is obscure; There will be a kind of suppressed emotion in the heart of the involuntary master; Come to think of it, when a person's future and fate are at a loss, how can there be less depression?

At the corner of the street, there is a bare lawn, and here, there are people standing and squatting and sitting.

A few people's teeth, tooth mothers, some of them do their own thing, some of them are holding each other in pairs, those who can be sold behind them, and those who are waiting to be sold are all people, which made Mengfan's heart suddenly tighten.

The small fist squeezed, making the tightness in his heart slightly looser, and then he stepped forward and looked at the past one by one.

After looking at it, he had a little bottom in his heart, and Meng Fan walked towards a tooth woman who was dressed cleanly and smiled.

"Girl, the old body is polite, I don't know what the girl wants to buy here, if you want to buy a maid, you see, I have a neat and neat age here, you see, this girl is thirteen years old this year......"

"How does that man sell?"

Meng Fan directly interrupted Ya Pozi's words, and her hand pointed to a young man behind Ya Pozi who was tied up by a thick rope and sat on the ground.

The man looked older than the eldest brother, but he was not a few years older; His facial features looked quite eye-catching, his ragged clothes were stained with blood, and even the thick rope used to bind him had many mottled bloodstains;

This person gives Mengfan the feeling that he is ——, trapped beast!

This is not important, the important thing is that this man's eyes, when he saw Mengfan appear, kept locking her every move, as if he was trying his best to recommend himself with consciousness; Therefore, what Meng Fan felt was a wordless cry, which was unabashedly revealed from that person's eyes.

"Uh...... He? Girl, this is a man, buy it back and wait for you......" The tooth woman was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again: "This is a big strength, if the girl you buy it back and put it in the outer yard to look at the door or something, absolutely fine, but this guy is an untamed one, you see, it's all on this, he can't figure it out, last night, he almost escaped, the old woman had to find a few people, tied him up, you have to think about it, if you buy it, we signed the sales contract, this is a dead deed, one hand to pay money and one hand to pay silver, If this person runs away again, the old woman will not be responsible. ”

Explain, there must be that?

Meng Fan smiled faintly: "It's okay, that's my business, you only say this person, how can you sell it?" ”

"Originally, this young man was bought by the old woman from a person who often went out, and it cost thirty taels of silver at the time, but now this person is such a toss-up person, and the old woman doesn't want to make much money, just don't lose money; Girl, look, if you think it's okay, how about giving the old woman two taels of silver for tea? ”

"Are you a local?" Meng Fan didn't answer the rhetorical question.

The tooth woman smiled so much that she couldn't see her eyebrows: "Then naturally, the old woman's husband's surname is Dong, and her mother's surname is Qu, they all call me Aunt Dong, I am also a person from Qingquan Town, and there are many people who know the old woman in these ten miles and eight townships, the old woman has been doing this business for decades, and she took it from my dead old man, and there are few people in the neighborhood who don't know the old woman, you can rest assured, the old woman is not a rootless, and I am waiting for the next time the girl needs it, let's do the next transaction......

"That's fine, then I'll buy this young one."

Listening to this old woman with a smile on her face, she didn't have that patience; Turning around directly, he found Helian Yutian's figure outside the crowd, he kept looking at Meng Fan with a smile on his face, and when he saw her looking at him, he strode towards this side.

"Big brother, thirty taels!" Meng Fan stretched out his hand directly.

Without asking a word, Helian Yutian took out a silver ingot of twenty taels and a silver ingot of ten taels from his baggage and put it in Mengfan's hand.

She took out about two taels of broken silver from her small purse, and put it together at thirty-two taels, and she was not in a hurry to hand it over, saying, "Give me this man's deed of sale." ”

"That's a natural ......" This tooth woman is really a woman who has been doing it for more than ten years, has eyesight and reputation, and handed the deed of sale to Mengfan with a smile, Mengfan took it, walked to the young man who was tied up and couldn't move, and said: "Look, is this your deed of sale?" ”

This person really looked up and down with her hand, and spoke, hoarse and deep voice: "Yes! ”

Yes, this is a literate ......

Meng Fan raised his eyebrows, turned around, and handed over the silver in his hand: "Aunt Dong, you can look at the amount of silver, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes......" doesn't need to look closely, it's clear at a glance.

Meng Fan didn't bother to respond, turned around, and walked back to Helian Yutian: "Big brother, give me the dagger!" "Helian Yutian doesn't know if he has it with him, but Meng Fan thinks that he should bring it.

There really is!

Taking the dagger that suddenly appeared in Helian Yutian's hand, Meng Fan walked back towards the young man who was bound, walked around behind him, and passed the dagger through the thick rope that was intertwined behind his back, and with a force on his hand, the rope was easily broken.

Well, this dagger is pretty sharp.

Then he turned to the man, and gently slipped the dagger through his bloodstained wrist, and with little difficulty untied the man's restraints.

"Here, give you water!" This man's mouth is cracked, presumably, it hasn't been a drop of water for more than a few hours.

This person looked at the little man in front of him who personally untied himself and handed him the bamboo tube with water, slowly stretched out his scarred hand, took the bamboo tube in Mengfan's hand, raised his head and drank all the essence, and then stood up with difficulty, his movements were very slow.

His facial features are very clear, and his eyebrows and eyes carry a kind of overflowing uninhibitedness; The posture in which he gently rotated as he gripped his wrist to endure the pain...... Looks like a little martial artist.

I just don't know how I got to the point of being so depressed.

Meng Fan turned around and walked back to Helian Yutian's side, and behind him, the injured man followed suit.

His height is about the same as Helian Yutian, and his inner momentum does not seem to be too weak compared to Helian Yutian.

"From now on, she will be your master, why, she doesn't say anything to your master?"

Helian Yutian's face was cold, and there was a trace of coercion in his eyes.

Even if this injured young man was not weak, but under the restrained and strong coercion of Helian Yutian, he felt a kind of helplessness in the face of the strong, he looked at such a handsome man beside Meng Fan who was not angry and arrogant, and then looked at the little woman in front of him who only reached his chest, his eyes flashed with struggle, swept unwillingly, his teeth clenched, and his body trembled slightly.

Many eyes were staring at this side, and in front of everyone, he slowly lowered his body, and with a bang, his knees were close to the ground: "Ling Yaoxuan of the Chuzhou people's clan, kneel down and worship the master!" ”

Hum! ~

A soft snort came out of Lan Bao'er's nose on the side.

was despised by a little baby, how can this make people embarrassed?

"That's it......" Mengfan smiled indifferently, shook his head, and looked at Ling Yaoxuan, who knelt in front of him with low eyebrows but an unruly posture: "I, Li Mengfan, don't need a servant who is reluctant to follow by my side, this is your deed of sale, you can take it and tear it up, and then, you will be free." ”

Ahh

At this moment, everyone's eyes here were attracted by her words, and everyone's faces were full of disbelief.

Including the kneeling people in front of her.

"I'll let you choose ......" Meng Fan gently looked at Ling Yaoxuan, who raised his head and looked at him with incredible eyes: "If you still have unfinished business, I will give you a month, and then wait for me here; If you don't want to be my servant, then we'll leave it at that! ”

She handed the deed of sale that had just arrived into Ling Yaoxuan's hand, the smile on the corner of her lips was not erased, she turned around and smiled at Helian Yutian: "Let's go, go shopping!" ”

[Friends, if you have a monthly pass in your hand, are you willing to give Mengfan a vote? ] 】
