Rong Hua has been very comfortable these days.

These days, Rong Hua eats, goes shopping, and learns embroidery with Zhao's mother.

Count with your hands, you will go to the capital in a few days, first of all, you must dismiss the few people in the family, most of them are locals, you can't go to the capital with you, so there is only a girl and a rough girl waiting for Mrs. Zhao next to you, the capital is not only expensive, but also expensive.

A few people came together and went to the slave market.

The slave market was different from what Rong Hua imagined, beyond her cognition.

Walking to the door and looking at the whole yard, the whole yard was dirty, and there was a strong stench everywhere, Rong Hua saw Mrs. Zhao holding a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, but Zhao Gang didn't even frown, and took the lead in stepping into the courtyard.

"It's so dirty here, will the slave be sick and useless?"

"It's okay, you forgot that I can heal!"

"That's right." Mrs. Zhao instantly had a lot less worries, there was a doctor in the family who was more powerful than the ordinary, she could try to buy a slave.

The courtyard is swept out of the three-person wide path, which is convenient for buyers to walk.

There were big iron cages lined up on both sides of the road, and the people in the cages were locked up in a mess, most of them were in tattered clothes, dirty all over their bodies, and their exposed legs were not much thicker than reed sticks, and most of them were seriously or lightly injured, and they didn't care about the blood flowing.

There was not the slightest desire to live on the skinny skinny face, and it was lifeless.

Rong Hua swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the joy of going to the street was instantly diluted.

"It takes ten days and half a month for a few slaves here to be bought, I see that you are a decent person, madam, I will take you to the house to have a look? Although it is more expensive, it is a good deal. ”

"Well, it's okay, the slaves outside will have to spend a while recuperating after they buy them, and we can't wait that long."

"Madam, you are a good person when you hear it." The tooth man smiled.

Compared with the slaves who blew the cold wind in the yard, the good quality slaves were treated much better, there was basically no peculiar smell in the house, the slaves were chained in rows or sat or lay on the hay, and there were few injuries and few unclothed.

Mrs. Zhao nodded secretly and looked slowly.

"Madam, the slaves here are all better, in good health, and good-looking, but this silver is a little more expensive than outside, dare to ask Madame what is the use of buying slaves?" The tooth man compared his fingers.

"Just look at the work of the nursing home, I think those two are not bad, look at the body is stronger, and it looks okay." The male slaves that Mrs. Zhao pointed to looked like they were in their twenties and thirties, quite tall but a little thin.

"Madame is Madame, her eyes are vicious, a few of them are newcomers who just came some time ago, just in the prime of life, buy it back to take care of the family and nursing home, and do some hard work is the most suitable, over there, raise your head!" The tooth man took the bamboo pole in his hand and knocked on the ground in front of several people and drank.

"Madam, you see, this, and those two are just here, the little one next to me had a famine when he was a child, and was sold by his father to someone else, and then came to us, and the remaining two, not our people, the language is not very clear, one is still mute, so it is the cheapest, which one is suitable? I'll give you a cheap calculation if you buy more. ”

Mrs. Zhao looked at the person one by one, the first two were too thin, I was afraid that even a woman with a little strength was stronger than them, the one who was sold by his father was too young, and his face was dark and yellow, and he looked poor at first glance, and the foreigner looked okay, but the language was not clear, Mrs. Zhao had a bad idea for a while, and asked Rong Hua, "Rong Hua, which one do you look at?" I didn't know which one to buy. ”

"I ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped, "Sister, I know you are a good person, save me and my sister, right?" Please, sister. ”

Rong Hua looked at the one who was sold by his father just now, and when he heard the voice, he only felt that he was smaller than he looked from the outside, his uneven hair mixed with dirt and clinging to his forehead, and his eyes were full of longing, as if he was all his hope.

Rong Hua thought of her younger brother, who would be as old as him in two years.

"Aunt Zhao, why don't we buy a few more and buy him too?"

"Mother, I look at it as good as buying two more, there is a shortage of people at home, and it is expensive to go to the capital to buy again."

In this way, the group that originally planned to buy two slaves bought four slaves, two thin adult men, plus a Nantong and a girl, the girl was suffering from a high fever, and everyone went back to the Zhao Mansion directly.

The slaves were placed in the remaining two houses in the backyard, one occupied by the two male slaves, and the brother and sister occupied the other, and the slaves were placed after a busy afternoon.

Mrs. Zhao gave several people new names, the names of the two male slaves were Zhao Yishan and Zhao Yishi, and the brothers and sisters were named Zhao Yisong and Zhao Yiqing.

The day of departure was set for three days later, and the people in the house had already been dismissed, and the Zhao family still had a few fields in the suburbs, which were not sold, and they continued to rent to the original family, and gave the family a pair of keys to the Zhao Mansion, asking them to clean the house for a while, and the money for renting the land was gone.

Rong Hua decided to go to Situ Mansion.

She hasn't said goodbye to Sima Xun and Junzi yet.

I didn't think too much about it along the way, and when I got to the place, I felt a little close to home.

"I'm looking for you third young master."

"Third Young Master Zhao? Are you Ronghua? Our third young master has ordered, if you come, I will lead you directly to his courtyard, you can come with me. ”

I didn't meet any acquaintances along the way.

Unexpectedly, Situ Xun did not stay in the house but in the yard, and when he saw Rong Hua, he was a little excited, and he hurriedly pushed Dongdong's wheelchair with his hand, but he almost threw himself out of the wheelchair.

"Huh? Why are you in such a hurry, be careful not to fall. ”

Situ Xun looked at the person in front of him, he hadn't seen him for a few days, as if he had passed a few winters and summers, his lips trembled, and he didn't say anything, but just looked at the person with red eyes.

"Third Young Master, how do you feel after eating my candy? Isn't it much better. ”

Rong Hua said as he pinched Situ Xun's leg without any scruples.

"Do you feel it?"

Speaking of feeling my legs, Situ Xun's eyes lit up and he admired, "Yes, I feel that your fingers gently pinched my legs, and I can also feel the heat and cold of the water when I take a bath." ”

"That's really great, it won't be long before you can stand up, I guess I'll be in the capital at that time." Rong Hua pretended to look at Situ Xun with regret.

"You're leaving?" I was shocked.

"Well, I'll write to you. By the way, this is for you, and that's enough. "This time, the candy was not wrapped in a small lotus, but in an unpainted wooden box with a very rough workmanship.

Situ Xun's eyes swept over the wooden box and he didn't take it, he couldn't react in his heart, could it be that if she gave this to herself, she was leaving?

"Take it." The box was stuffed directly into Situ Xun's arms.

And Situ Xun felt a strong reluctance in his heart, and so did Rong Hua, after all, Situ Xun was such a good person.

"I didn't see Shun'er when I came, I have something to give him, you can help me turn it."

"Have you found your loved ones? In the capital? ”

"I haven't found my relatives, but I've met people like relatives, and I'm going to follow them, if I have enough money, I plan to settle in the capital, because the capital is so much fun." Anyway, she didn't want to stay here.

"Reliable score, don't trust others casually, or I'll hire ....... for you"

"No, no, you believe me, they are definitely good people, I can raise my hands and guarantee it." Rong Hua interrupted Situ Xun's words, but he thought happily in his heart, the person who could hurt her was afraid that he had not yet been born.

The days fly by, and tomorrow is about to leave, and at this time, the Zhao Mansion has already packed the luggage and will set off at dawn tomorrow.

"I'm still a little reluctant to leave like this." Mother Zhao lowered her head and touched the armrest of the seat with pity.

"You women are just sentimental, especially older women." After getting along for a few days, Zhao Gang's true temperament was undisguised in front of Rong Hua.

"Flutter, I said brother, can you still let others eat well, besides, it's not that women are sentimental, it's that you are coarse."

"This stinky boy." Mother Zhao was also amused. "It's really a mold carved out of your father, and you can be angry with me."

The three of them talked again, and Fang Cai's sorrow was blown away a lot.

"Tomorrow we have to get up early, I am familiar with the road from here to the capital, but in the past I have been riding horses, this time with a group of people in carriages, if we can't catch the next town before dark, we will set up camp in the barren mountains and mountains. Luckily, the weather has been much warmer lately, so it shouldn't snow. ”
