016 Quiet Garden
To tell a lie, you always have to use countless lies to make it round, and Mu An knows it clearly...... In the days to come, she will probably have to live in countless lies.
After clearing his throat and not blinking his eyes, Mu An said, "Does the prince think this name is not good?" ”
"It's fine."
"That's not it, I also think the name is okay, Mu An'an is different, listen to the prince, how awkward it sounds, it's not smooth at all, I don't believe you call it and try it."
Mu An looked at him with a small face and bright eyes, and his eyelashes spread out like a fan, as if waiting for his answer.
Xiao Ci moved his mouth, and a voice that seemed a little out of place sounded next to him.
"Mu Anan...... Ann...... An An ......", Shen Xingbai read it a few times to himself, and shook his head: "It's really not good, it's better for Mu An." ”
After speaking, he thought that Xiao Ci hadn't been able to distinguish it, so he raised his voice and recited it a few more times: "Mu An'an, Mu An'......."
"Shut up, you!" Mu An stepped lightly on him from under the table, frowning: "It's weird, I got goosebumps when I screamed." ”
Shen Xingbai raised his eyebrows and smiled and stretched his fan: "Didn't you let the third brother call just now?" I can't do it if I call it. ”
"No, do you think he's like that?" Mu An teased him.
Mu An was deliberately teasing him just now, she knew that Xiao Ci would definitely not call her name, for no reason, Xiao Ci just wouldn't. Sure enough, Xiao Ci lightly retracted his gaze and raised his eyes to look down.
The sound of the piano was already curling under them when they spoke, and the three maids were superb at the piano, and there were people below who cheered, and even some people threw silver on them, and they didn't make a mistake in playing a single note.
Looking closely, these people's eyes are numb, their movements are standard, and even their expressions are integrated, and they will be a little crazy after watching it for a long time, Mu An couldn't help frowning.
"What, do you have a favorite?" Xiao Ci didn't raise his eyelids, and asked casually.
Mu An replied decisively: "No." ”
Next, there are some handmaidens who have been deliberately cultivated into talented maids, but the servants haven't seen it, it seems that today's Jingyuan is the main handmaid.
Mu An looked down boredly, and suddenly quieted down like a young eagle with its claws, hiding all its emotions in its not plump wings, and his expression was not leaky, Xiao Ci looked at her sideways for a long time Mu An didn't notice.
In fact, Mu An felt bored after watching it for a while, and her shaky interest was greatly reduced after watching the first scene, this kind of inhumane format has completely erased equality and freedom, to be honest, she is very disgusted.
The slaves and maids here can indeed show everyone's demeanor when they are brought back, but they are all carved out of a mold, and over time it will inevitably make people feel sad.
Her consciousness had already wandered out of the space and into the space. Looking at the wall clock on the wall, it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, and she was hungry.
I have hardly eaten a good meal in the Mu Mansion, and the servants in the big kitchen also look at people's faces, and send her away with a dish and soup casually, but fortunately, she doesn't care about food, but she didn't expect to deal with it casually for so many days.
Feeling that the sleeves of his clothes were being tugged, Mu An suddenly came back to his senses, and saw Xiao Ci's slender fingers dangling in front of her, and as soon as he raised his eyes, Xiao Ci's enlarged face was closer, and Mu An subconsciously leaned back in the chair: "What to do?" ”
Xiao Ci didn't feel anything about her sensitive behavior, and took his hand back: "I've been watching it for a long time, and it's almost over, and no one has taken a fancy to it?" ”
Mu An pretended to think for a moment before saying, "Do you want to listen to the truth?" ”
"Or else?"
"That's no", Mu An spread his hands: "Could it be that the prince also likes to put such a group of people in the mansion, doing the same thing all day long, like a marionette." ”
Xiao Ci looked at her strangely and said, "The slaves in the palace are all raised by themselves, and they never need to be outside. ”
"That's not it, these people look at a lot of moves, and they do have some skills, and they are well-organized, but no matter how good a person is, it's just an empty shelf without a soul, what's the use, so don't hide it from the prince, I don't like it, I don't like it very much, it's better to find a few clever ones in the beggar's heap."
After Mu An finished speaking, he took a deep breath, only to feel that the placket beside him had crossed, Xiao Ci had already stood up, didn't look at the high platform below, and said to her: "Since you don't like it, what are you going to do?" ”
Depend on!
Mu Anxin said, you two big guys have worked hard to bring me here, I can't eat radishes for nothing and be too sour, so I held on for a long time.
However, she still didn't show it on her face, and curled her lips and smiled: "Since the prince doesn't want to stay, let's go." ”
Both of them took two steps, climbed on the edge of the railing and watched Shen Xingbai for a long time with relish, as soon as he turned around, he only saw their shadows, and hurriedly chased after them: "Why are you leaving, third brother, don't you look at it?" Miss Mu, you don't buy maids anymore? ”
Mu An said: "If you don't buy it, you can't look at it." ”
"What?" Shen Xingbai felt that he had auditory hallucinations in his ears, and for the first time he heard someone say that he looked down on the servants of Jingyuan...... It's a big joke.
He didn't know at all that as a woman in the new era, or a good woman who was independent and self-righteous to eliminate harm for the people, Mu An's thoughts hated them at all because they were not in the same tone, and it was strange that they could look at it.
Xiao Ci chuckled, and coincidentally was heard by Mu An, who forgot to pretend to be reserved and strode forward on the side, and raised his eyes to look at him in surprise, Xiao Ci actually looked good when he stood up, Mu An felt that if she put it aside, she would probably consider changing her career, such as a "little fresh meat" agent or something, and she would definitely make a lot of money.
At the top of the stairs, Miaoyu hurried down, Mu An also wanted to say goodbye to the only young lady who was full of good feelings, but he didn't have time, and the next moment at the corner of the stairs on the second floor, a black shadow rushed up and collided with Mu An, Mu An was accidentally hit and staggered back a few steps, almost fell, and her arm was quickly grabbed by Xiao Ci's hand to pull her delicate body back.
Mu An took his arm out of Xiao Ci's hand, took a breath and looked down, only then did he see a black shadow crawling under the feet of several of them, to be precise, the black shadow just now, dressed in black shirts, with knotted hair on his head, unable to see his face clearly, and shrunk and fell to the ground.
Mu An thought that he had knocked people into a daze, and was just about to lower down to help, but Miaoyu ran up quickly and stopped her.
"Miss, don't get your hands dirty."
"Huh?" Mu An wondered.
Miaoyu's face was crimson, she looked a little flustered, and she twisted her hand and saluted them: "The prince forgives the sin, Miaoyu is derelict in his duties, so this slave and maid collided with the prince and his friends, and Miaoyu will take her down." ”
Xiao Ci didn't speak, just nodded, and no one seemed to care about the people on the ground except Mu An from beginning to end.
Miaoyu turned around and glanced at the two strong men behind her, and the two of them came forward, one left and one right, and couldn't help but say that they would drag the people on the ground up.
Only then did Mu An notice that she should have injuries all over her body, and she had no strength to resist.
"She ......", and was about to ask, but was interrupted.
Miaoyu smiled at her: "I'm disturbing Miss, just a lowly servant, it's not worth Miss's care and asking, that's the blessing she has cultivated in several lifetimes, Miaoyu retires, Miss Wan'an." ”
I don't know if I felt the little kindness that belonged to Mu An among so many people, and at the moment when he was dragged down the last staircase, Mu An heard a whimpering struggle, as if squeezing blood out of between his teeth.
"Let go, let go, me!"
"Miss Miaoyu, wait!"
Ignoring Xiao Ci's surprise behind him, Mu An ran down with his skirt: "Dare to ask Miss Miaoyu, this is Jingyuan's maid." ”
Miaoyu bowed: "Yes." ”
"Can I buy her, then?"
As soon as these words came out, there was silence for a few seconds.
Suddenly, Miaoyu covered her lips in disbelief and chuckled: "Does Miss Mu know what she is doing?" ”
"Do what?" Mu An asked her: "You Jingyuan sell maids, and I buy maids, there is nothing wrong with going back and forth, is there any problem?" ”
Miaoyu looked at her with a smile, that kind of gaze was mixed with Mu An's indescribable meaning, but it was not uncomfortable, Mu An knew that she had no bad intentions.
Miaoyu almost opened her mouth, but Mu An saw her embarrassment and turned her eyes to Xiao Ci and Shen Xingbai.
Shen Xingbai was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Do you really not know or do you really not know?" ”
Mu An continued to be puzzled: "What do you know? Say! ”
"Jingyuan does not sell primitive servants, and they will never show any servants who have not reached the standard, they only sell those that can still be intact after two years of training."
Mu An frowned: "What do you mean intact and surviving?" ”
Shen Xingbai: "Yes." ”
So?
Knowing what kind of methods Jingyuan uses to kill people and make huge profits, no one cares, right? Is all this a matter of course.
Mu An's face sank, she scolded the two strong men behind her to stop, and asked Miaoyu: "Then did she run out?" ”
Miaoyu bowed: "Yes, Miss Mu." ”
"Then according to the rules of your Jingyuan, wouldn't there be no way to live if you ran out privately and showed it to others?"
Miaoyu suddenly saw that she was like a machine, and replied to her mechanically: "Yes." ”
Mu An's fists clenched, her temper was so violent that she almost became angry.
thought that she accepted the "slave market" in a different era, and she could also accept the tragic fate of slaves, but she knew that the moment she heard it with her own ears was like a basin of cold water that woke her up, and she couldn't.
Raising his voice, Mu An firmed his tone: "I want her today, you can make a price." ”
Miaoyu was a little embarrassed: "Miss forgiveness, this is not a problem of silver two, but a problem of rules, Jingyuan naturally has the rules of Jingyuan, it has not run out of the underground training ground for decades, and even if there is, no one has survived, this is the rules of Jingyuan, and it is also the life of these slaves, disobedient slaves and maids Jingyuan does not stay, Miss don't be embarrassed Miaoyu, Miaoyu can't afford to go wrong." ”
At this time, the woman in black with dirty hair behind her raised her head with difficulty, Mu An saw the blood stains on her face clearly, and what shocked Mu An the most was her unyielding eyes, full of unwillingness.
Sunken cheeks, no one knows what she's been through these days.
Mu An finally understood that the so-called underground training field must also be disgraceful, and since this woman ran out, she must belong to the category of disobedience, and she will be killed.
Jingyuan can grow in Shengjing, the forces behind it are not ordinary, what can Mu An do, a weak woman who has nothing.
