"How do you sell this girl?"

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, ten taels of silver will be brought back with you!"

The dark-skinned man smiled toothlessly, bowed his slightly chubby body and flattered repeatedly.

The interrogator was a dignified woman in her thirties, who looked like she was working as an errand boy in the house of a wealthy man.

She glanced at the two little girls in front of her, and couldn't help frowning, "Why are there only two?" I'm still thin, will I raise her when I buy it back, or will she serve me? ”

The man pushed the slightly taller girl and smiled, "Isn't this today's business?" What do you think of this? Why don't I charge a tael less? ”

The woman's eyes shrewdly shone as if she were considering.

The man looked at the late sky and saw that the woman still hadn't said anything accurately, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

He gritted his teeth, "It's better to take it back for six taels of silver!" ”

The woman snorted, then nodded, took the silver out of her purse, and handed it over.

When she took people away, she carefully looked at the only little girl left, and was stunned.

I saw that the little girl was combing two bare buds, and although her clothes were a little plain, she rarely had a cute little face.

Especially the eyes, round, fawn-like, moist and black, as clean as if they had been washed.

The woman pursed her lips and smiled, and deliberately mentioned: "I think this girl is a beautiful embryo, if she is sold to the old courtyard, it will be more than that!" ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gestured.

The man immediately smiled, and hurriedly thanked him.

Xie Jinci, who had been standing quietly on the side, took half a step back timidly after listening to the conversation between the two.

She still knows what the old courtyard is.

The man saw her small movements, thought she was going to run away, and his eyebrows widened, and he grabbed her wrist fiercely.

"It's not been a day or two since Lao Tzu sold a little girl in Lin'an City, and I've never seen you sell so hard! Since the big families won't accept you, then ......"

In the middle of his sentence, he suddenly saw a girl wearing a bracelet on her wrist.

The color is bright and white, warm and dense, and it is not a vulgar thing at first glance.

"I didn't expect you to have such a valuable thing on you! I am afraid that this bracelet will be sold more than the hard-earned money that the beautiful woman gave me! ”

As he spoke, the man rudely ripped off the jade bracelet from the little girl's wrist, ignoring her struggles and resistance.

Xie Jinci is young, where can he grab such a stout man?

Seeing that the only thing her mother had left her was taken away, her eyes were red with anxiety, and her tears fell down like broken beads.

She pleaded softly: "Please, give it back to me......"

The man frowned impatiently and squeezed her wrist harder and harder, "Shut up! It's hard to protect yourself, why are you still worried about a bracelet? ”

He dragged the girl into a deep alley, and said as he went:

"Yi Cuilan's mother is a caring person, as long as you are obedient, she will not be difficult for you. I saw that you looked white and pure, and followed me all the way to Lin'an, not crying or making trouble, and your temperament was quite well-behaved, I don't know where I offended people, and I asked the beautiful woman to spend three hundred taels of silver to let me kidnap you! ”

As he spoke, he smacked his tongue rather regretfully, "Look at your fine-skinned and tender wrists, I don't think you were born as a maid, could it be that you met a ruthless stepmother?" Seeing that you are not pleasing to the eye, this is why I sold you to me......"

Xie Jinci was still shedding tears, but when he heard this, his expression froze, and he suddenly stopped crying, and his misty eyes were full of disbelief.

She was trafficked,

Was it arranged by my uncle?

The man didn't notice the change in the little girl's expression at all, and only thought that she had figured it out, so he didn't cry anymore.

His ears were quiet, and he was in a better mood, smiling and playing with the jade bracelet he snatched from the little girl's wrist, and chattering endlessly:

"You have brought me wealth, and I am not the one who will take revenge, and I will tell Yi Cuilan's mother carefully later, I will never let her treat you badly!"

Night fell quietly, and the lights and shadows of Tianxiangfang were hazy.

The evening breeze blows, blowing the slightest smell of fat and wine, which is intoxicating.

Xie Jinci was dragged by the man's wrist and couldn't move.

As she walked through the streets, she was forced to stop in front of an elegant three-storey pavilion.

The lanterns under the eaves are displayed, and the three words of "leaning on the green column" are outlined clearly and gracefully.

"Good boy, this is your new home in the future!"

The man smiled obscenely, and was about to step into this haunting pavilion, when his hand suddenly ached.

He waved his hand and his eyes widened angrily, "Okay! You dare to bite Lao Tzu! ”

Xie Jinci was knocked to the ground by him, he didn't care about the sore buttocks, he got up and ran in the opposite direction!

However, she was too young after all, and running out three steps was not as good as a man's step, plus she hadn't eaten a full meal for several days, so she was quickly caught by a man.

The man was obviously angry, his eyes were round, and the fat on his black and fat face was shaking.

"I thought you were a well-behaved person, but I didn't expect you to dare to run away! Dare to bite Lao Tzu! ”

He angrily carried Xie Jinci to Yicui Rail, scolding in his mouth, "Don't go to inquire, my Wang Baichuan has been selling a little girl for more than ten years, and no one has ever run away!" ”

Xie Jinci's toes barely touched the ground.

Her face was full of horror and she struggled desperately, "I'm not going!" I'm not going! ”

The man sneered: "It's not up to you to decide whether to go or not." ”

At the last moment, a cyan figure crashed into view!

Xie Jinci stretched out his little hand and grabbed the hand hanging on the side of Tsing Yi without hesitation!

"Save me, I don't want to be sold to lean on the green fence!"

She lifted her dark eyes, which were full of tears, and pleaded softly.

In a hurry, she grabbed it casually, and didn't have time to take a closer look.

And at this time, the clean and clear deer eyes reflected the appearance of a young man-

Fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, warm and feathered jade eyebrows slightly raised, two peach blossom eyes elegant and affectionate, the end of the left eye is decorated with a little colorful cinnabar, the skin is as white as jade, and the lips are red as vermilion.

He was a little thin, wearing a cerulean jacket and a bookish scent.

Xie Jinci looked at him blankly, as if he had seen a god!

Such a good-looking and elegant boy must be a kind-hearted person!

"Little brother, buy me......"

She pouted, her deer eyes were pitiful, and there were a few tears hanging on her palm-sized face.

Soft and cute, strange and distressing.

Shen Changfeng glanced at the dark and slightly chubby man behind the girl, and the curvature of his lips was shallow.

"My sister has such fine skin and tender meat, I'm afraid I can't do rough work, I bought you for money, it's better to buy a few more books to read."

The young man's voice is clear and sweet, like a long-precipitated wine, and it makes people's heartstrings move.

But what he said made Xie Jinci's eyes red.

He wouldn't buy her.

Xie Jinci really hadn't done the work of serving people before, but now that she is under the eaves, she has to bow her head, and she still understands the truth of adaptation.

"Whether it's laundry or cooking, as long as my little brother doesn't let me do anything hurtful, I will do my best!"

She hurriedly and sincerely expressed her attitude, just because the young man in front of her was her only life-saving straw.

Sell yourself into slavery, and there will always be a day when you save enough money to redeem yourself.

But if she enters the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, her life will be ruined.

Shen Changfeng looked at the little girl who was pulling him and refused to let go with a smile, and his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly.

Wang Baichuan took the bracelet in his hand, and said impatiently with a dark face: "Dead girl, if you were a slave, you should have sold it a long time ago!" Don't waste time here, hurry up and follow Lao Tzu! ”

As he spoke, he bowed down to break Xie Jinci's hand.

The moist and white mutton fat jade bracelet flashed in Shen Changfeng's eyes, causing layers of ripples.

"Wait—"

The young man said gently, "I look at my sister very pitiful, and I have a lot of fate, even if I can't do rough work when I buy it, it's good to accompany me to study." ”

Xie Jinci nodded hurriedly, quietly wiped his tears, and hurriedly grabbed his hand, as if he was afraid that he would run away.

Wang Baichuan looked Shen Changfeng up and down, with a face full of disdain, "This girl is not an ordinary price, one hundred taels of silver, do you buy it or not?" ”

Xie Jinci was stunned when he heard the lion's big offer.

One hundred taels of silver is not a small amount in ordinary people's homes.

The little brother is dressed so plainly, I'm afraid he won't be able to come up with so much money......

The hesitation and entanglement in the girl's eyes, Shen Changfeng was silent.

With a light sigh, he took out the money bag from his bosom and handed it out lazily:

"It's not a good deal, but who told me to be related to my sister? One hundred taels is one hundred taels, and it's a big deal that I tighten my belt and eat a few less meats. ”

Wang Baichuan took the money bag suspiciously, opened it and counted the silver tickets and bills inside, and the tight fat on his face gradually loosened.

When he looked at the young man in Tsing Yi again, he had changed into a flattering smile.

"It's because I have no eyes, this young man's appearance is amazing, and he is not an ordinary person when he looks at it."

He quickly put the money bag into his arms, and when his hand was stretched out, there was an extra contract.

He nodded and gave the contract to the young man with both hands, "I don't know whose son the master is?" ”

Xie Jinci tilted his head, his blackened round eyes full of curiosity.

She also wanted to know the identity of this little brother who was kind enough to save her.

Shen Changfeng put away the little girl's deed of sale, and smiled, "My surname is Lu." ”

When Wang Baichuan heard this, his eyes were shining, his legs were tense, and his body bowed lower.

The Lu family is the richest man in Lin'an City!

It is said that Lu Yu, the head of the Lu family, has a deep affection for his deceased wife, and for more than ten years, he has only guarded the huge family business and two sons, and has never renewed the strings.

The son of the Lu family has long passed the age of weak crowns, so this young man in Tsing Yi can only be the second son of the Lu family.

However, there are many rumors in the market that the second son of the Lu family visited the brothel of the Qinglou at the age of eight, fights and brawls are common, and he doesn't know anything about reading and writing, and he really can't support the wall with mud.

Can...... This young man in Tsing Yi, where does he have the appearance of a half-gentleman?

Wang Baichuan was puzzled, raised his head blankly, but found that the young man had led the little girl away at some point.

He patted the money bag on his chest, and the fat on his face piled up, and he smiled like a chrysanthemum.
