Chapter 84: Confirmed Eyes
Time rewinded, Hu San'er stretched out a hand and said, "The starting price is five!" ”
"Ten times!" Cui Gongzi shouted out the first offer.
Li Mu looked sideways, asked Wang Hu next to him, and said, "What is the origin of this guy, why did he ask for a price when he met a woman?" ”
Wang Hu lowered his voice and said: "This person's name is Cui Yuyan, born in the Boling Cui family, and he came to Chang'an to participate in the imperial examination two years ago, but he has not been admitted. Cui's family has a big business, and his uncle is also an official in the court, so he has never returned to his hometown, and he stays in Chang'an to wait for an opportunity to be filial piety. He is a mediocre learner, but he is very lascivious, and often comes to the horse shop to look for new maids, and I can meet him almost every time I come to the West Market to see the horses. This person has a bad heart, bought a maid and went back to play, and I heard that he especially likes to use a maid to entertain friends, and his reputation is very bad. But because of the prestige of the Boling Cui clan, few people dared to talk about him behind his back. ”
Li Mu glanced at the girl on the high platform, and asked, "This auction method is different, this maid shouldn't be without clothes, right?" ”
Li Mu just said casually, but he didn't expect Wang Hu to really nod his head, and said: "I have also seen such an auction before, in addition to the roll of cloth, it is indeed not an inch, the traffickers tear off the cloth strips casually, which can stimulate the enthusiasm of buyers, sometimes buyers deliberately do not bid in order to watch the show, I heard that once, the cloth on a servant girl has been torn off and has not been sold, and she is ashamed and angry." ”
"Tsk......" Li Mu clicked his lips, and he was concerned. But he didn't want to bid, because it was too expensive, and the skill of speaking had already reached thirty. He just wants to buy a servant girl to serve Bai Qiaoqiao, and buy a servant girl to work for thirty times, unless he is crazy.
At this time, Hu San'er was already introducing the second benefit of the girl, and Li Mu was very suspicious when he listened, what kind of spring water jade pot, jade bone ice muscle, what are they? Isn't it contradictory that the goatee says she's a virgin on the one hand, and says it on the other? No one has tried it, how do you know?
Although he thought so in his heart, Li Mu was also a man after all, and when he heard such fragrant words, he couldn't help but look at the girl on the high platform, wanting to see something from her, whether it could confirm what Hu San'er said.
Just when Li Mu looked over, the girl who had been tilting her head suddenly looked over. Looking at each other, Li Mu paused for a moment, his heart trembled somehow, and he inexplicably felt a sense of guilt, and a voice in his mind asked: Li Mu, you can watch a person being sold like an animal so calmly, where did your conscience go? Are you a person of later generations, do you even have to erase your original conscience in order to integrate into the Tang Dynasty?
Li Mu shook his head, wanting to drive this thought out, but at the same time, he didn't dare to look at the girl's eyes anymore, so he moved his gaze, and just happened to see Cui Yuyan, who was shouting to Hu San'er with red eyes: "Hu San'er, I'm out of thirty times, thirty times, a lot, give me face, I'll take your favor." ”
Li Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if the girl fell into the hands of this hungry ghost, the end would be predictable. The price has reached thirty times, and this guy has already risen in his heart, and this anger must be vented on this girl, and it seems that there will be a lot of ravage. Li Mu glanced at the girl with her spare eyes, and found that she was still looking at herself, her eyes did not blink, Li Mu was puzzled, and looked left and right, this girl was indeed looking at herself. There are so many people in the field, why is she just staring at me?
Although the girl did not speak, through a pair of big watery eyes, she had clearly conveyed the meaning she wanted to express. Thousands of words converge into one sentence, as if ringing in the ears.
"Save Me ......"
Li Mu closed his eyes, but as if he could still see the girl's eyes, those eyes became clearer and clearer in his mind.
"This son took out all the deposits, and asked for this woman, forty-five times, I will immediately ask someone to send money over, Hu San'er, do you sell it or not!"
Cui Yuyan's hysterical voice came from his ears, Li Mu's heart instantly rose, just when Hu San'er picked up the piece of paper on which he had written the price and was about to announce it, Li Mu finally couldn't bear it, thinking that I would shout the price once, if I can save it, I will save it, don't blame me if you can't save it, I want peace of mind!
"Fifty times!"
Li Mu raised the wooden sign!
Hu San'er's mouth was already open, and he was about to announce it, when he suddenly heard an offer of fifty yuan, he immediately threw the idea of offending Cui Yuyan just now, and looked at Li Mudao: "This thirty-second uncle has paid a price of fifty percent, fifty percent, everyone, how many days has it been since such a high price?" Uncle is really generous! Saying that, he looked at Cui Yuyan again, and provoked: "Cui Gongzi, I can't help it, this No. 32 uncle bid fifty yuan, which is five yuan higher than yours, if you want it, you have to increase the price!" ”
Cui Yuyan had already lost his mind, and when he heard the words, he shouted: "I'm out of the ......" Before the words came out, he was covered by the subordinates behind him. Cui Yuyan glared angrily, and the subordinate hurriedly said: "Childe, calm down, think about it, if you buy a servant girl for fifty yuan, if this matter reaches the ears of the master......
Cui Yuyan heard the word 'master' mentioned by his subordinates, his expression regained a trace of clarity, and after a while, he finally calmed down, broke free from the family's hand, and looked at Li Mudao: "Today's Gongzi recognizes the planting, in Xia Boling Cui Yuyan, this son is so generous, but he is very faced, I don't know where he came from, where the mansion is, he will have to ask for advice in the future." ”
Li Mu smiled slightly, but did not say anything. Wang Hu opened his mouth and said: "You don't deserve to know the name of my son-in-law. ”
Cui Yuyan was even more angry when he heard this, took a deep breath and gritted his teeth to hold back, and said: "The son is too arrogant, isn't it too arrogant, how high the court is, and the Boling Cui clan doesn't put it in his eyes?" ”
Wang Hu was about to reply, but Li Mu waved his hand to stop him, and said, "I naturally put the Boling Cui clan in my eyes, but you don't seem to represent the Boling Cui clan." Heroes don't ask where they come from, they meet in the water, and I don't want to be friends with you, why do I have to tell you my name? Do you want this servant girl, if you want it, you can bid, if you don't want it, give up, I still have something to do, and I don't have time to idle here. ”
was ignored twice and three times, and Cui Yuyan's teeth were about to be crushed. He wanted to spend a lot of money to humiliate Li Mu, but he knew that if he really did this, he would not be able to stay in Chang'an, and he would have to be sent back to his hometown immediately. His place will be replaced by other brothers in the clan, and he will no longer have the opportunity to become an official. After weighing the two phases, Cui Yuyan still endured it and said, "Today's matter, Yuyan has written it down." When he meets again in the future, he will repay him. ”
With that, he turned and left. The family who came with him followed behind with the triplets he bought, and fled to the laughter of the crowd.
Hu San'er saw Cui Yuyan leaving, he was slightly disappointed, he wanted Cui Yuyan to raise another one and sell it at a sky-high price, but now it seems that there is no hope. Hu San'er made the price he wrote public, and then announced that Li Mu would finally be auctioned.
Li Mu only had a dozen taels of silver in his money bag, although he could exchange money from the system at any time, but this was too shocking, after all, fifty guan was too much, and it was impossible to carry it with him. Even if it was fifty taels of silver, it still couldn't be carried. Li Mu gave fifteen taels of silver first, and Hu San'er sent a guy to follow Li Mu back to the house to get the rest of the money. He was not worried about Li Mu at all, in the Chang'an territory, the account of buying slaves could not be relied on.
