As soon as Su Xiaran walked to the slave market, he felt that others were looking at him with strange eyes, probably because he didn't expect that an eight or nine-year-old young lady would come to a place like the slave market alone.

Especially the young lady from a large family dressed in high-quality fabrics is even more rare, and all kinds of people are looking at her with different eyes when they see Su Xiaran walk in. Of course, Su Xiaran didn't care about the eyes of irrelevant people.

However, she also felt that it was understandable, after all, in this kind of place, it was generally the housekeepers sent by the eunuchs or the servants who came here to choose and serve, even if there was a young lady and a son, someone must have brought it, not alone.

But what kind of person is Su Xiaran, she is a person who has lived for almost half her life at a psychological age, this kind of thing can be done by herself, but the most important thing is that she wants to personally help Hongyue choose an assistant, and only after passing her scrutiny can she be qualified to be used by her.

But the people around him who bought and sold slaves and maids kept chattering beside them, pointing at Su Xiaran.

All kinds of voices clearly reached Su Xiaran's ears. "Look, isn't that the second lady of the Su family, how can the people of the Su family rest assured that she will come to a place like the slave market alone." Hearing that someone recognized him, Su Xiaran became interested and continued to listen.

Another person said: "Hehe, isn't this obvious, people from their big families will definitely only spoil the excellent young lady, she Su Xiaran is naturally not favored, otherwise how can you choose a slave and maid by herself." ”

A slave merchant who was bargaining with other buyers also participated: "Yes, I heard that the most favored person in their Su family is the eldest lady Su Xiaranqing, and besides, the medicine hall in charge of Su Xiaran has recently had an accident, which has made their master unhappy, so he naturally snubbed her."

Su Xiaran walked on the road and listened to them talking about the rights and wrongs of the Su family, but he sneered, they were all a group of ignorant people, and they all fell on deaf ears.

But the more Su Xiaran used this kind of uncaring attitude, the more energetic that group of people became, feeling that Su Xiaran was just like the outside world rumored, cowardly. What they didn't know was that Su Xiaran was just too lazy to bother with these people.

Walking in front of a slave buyer, Su Xiaran looked at the young boys and girls who were locked in cages like livestock, some were as big as herself, and some were even younger than herself, and they all looked at this ladies from a luxuriously dressed big family with timid eyes.

Although Su Xiaran is indifferent, but looking at these slaves and maids who are locked in cages, he still feels pitiful, and Su Xiaran, who is rarely kind, plans to pick two or three slaves and maids to go back to his yard, after all, only Yun Dong is there to serve him now, which is really fortunate.

Su Xiaran, who looked like a little adult, walked in front of the boss and asked, "What price are they all at, can you choose by yourself?" ”

The boss, who hadn't seen a guest for a long time, saw that Su Xiaran looked like a rich man and was still a child, so he smiled happily and said, "Ah, Miss, you can pick whatever you want, my slaves and maids are all first-class and good." ”

When Su Xiaran saw him say this, he asked him to open the cage and let the boys and girls inside stand in a row, and Su Xiaran stepped forward and carefully selected.

In fact, the most important thing for Su Xiaran to see people is to see if a person's eyes are clear, if it is too dirty, she naturally doesn't want it, there will be no uncontrollable factors left around her, after all, she is now full of foreign enemies, and if she finds a problematic back, wouldn't it be an enemy on her back.

So in this regard, Su Xiaran is unusually cautious.

And the boys and girls who stood up showed panicked expressions one by one, they had been locked in a cage for several days, and today someone finally came, of course they all hoped that they were picked.

Su Xiaran glanced at it and picked out the two girls inside and asked the others to go back, but she didn't expect that one of the girls who was not picked by her did not go back.

She first walked up to a girl who was picked by Su Xiaran and said, "Sister, you tell Miss to let her take me with me, I don't want to be separated from my sister." ”

And the girl who was selected by Su Xiaran said to Su Xiaran with an embarrassed face: "This young lady, do you think you can ask my sister together, we were abducted and trafficked here, and we have never been separated since childhood, if I leave, it will not be good to leave her." ”

Seeing her say this, Su Xiaran glanced at the girl who was hiding beside her sister again, in fact, the reason why Su Xiaran didn't pick her at the beginning was because her eyes were not clear, and Su Xiaran couldn't say what made Su Xiaran dissatisfied.

But after careful consideration, Su Xiaran thought about it, anyway, he was looking for a few people to be maids in the courtyard, not to recruit them to the medicine hall, and there was nothing to worry about, so he agreed and took the sisters away.

Su Xiaran then walked around the slave market, but did not find a suitable candidate, so he no longer bothered, after all, this kind of thing is urgent.

Su Xiaran, who was planning to go back with the newly recruited maids, saw the publicity of the auction building in the market, and the auction building was actually holding a beauty contest, which aroused Su Xiaran's interest.

After all, Su Xiaran also wanted to see how many beauties there were in this city, thinking that it was still early anyway, and there was nothing to do when he went back. asked the three of them to go back to the courtyard of the second lady of Sufu to find Yun Dong first, and said that they let them go.

After arranging them, Su Xiaran went to the auction house. But he didn't expect the auction house to charge such a high entrance fee, Su Xiaran changed into men's clothes, and after paying the entrance fee, he entered the auction hall, but because Su Xiaran didn't have much money on him, he had no choice but to sit in the middle and back position.

Most of the people who came in to watch the auction were some young masters or something, and Su Xiaran also successfully hid in this group of young masters.

After everyone sat down, the middle-aged man who presided over the auction hall walked in and said, "Please be quiet, don't be impatient, our auction house will not auction treasures today, but hold a beauty contest in Feng Linguo, so that you can feast your eyes and visit our auction hall more in the future." ”

The middle-aged man has a skillful tone to preside over this competition. As soon as Su Xiaran heard it, she knew that it was another gimmick to promote her auction house, but the others were extremely excited, and they kept shouting for the beauty to come out quickly.

Su Xiaran silently rolled her eyes in her heart, they were all a group of fools who were trapped.

Seeing that the publicity effect was very good, the host stopped selling the guanzi and said: "Okay, okay, our players will be on the field soon, please wait quietly." With that, he stepped back.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for about ten women to slowly walk up to the stage from behind, accompanied by soothing music, but they were all veiled and couldn't see their faces clearly.

At this time, the people in the audience obviously couldn't sit still, and said: "How can you cover your face, what kind of beauty pageant is this?"

The host obviously didn't expect the audience's reaction to be like this, so he said in a circle: "Everyone, beauty pageants don't have to be based on appearance, but also on temperament, talent and other aspects, so at the beginning all the beauties are masked, and the veil will naturally be unveiled later." ”

Hearing what the host said, everyone was even more interested and wanted to find out, and Su Xiaran was also aroused a little interested, from the appearance of these ten beauties to the present, she took a fancy to the beauty who was wearing a purple veil and walking at the end.

The tear mole next to her eyes set off her deep eyes more and more charming, and her calm eyes were as light as water and as bright as the moon.

Su Xiaran only looked at her eyes, and expected that this woman must be a rare beauty, but she didn't expect to see such a stunner in a place like the auction building.

Su Xiaran, who was originally very boring, suddenly became interested, and she was looking forward to what kind of shock this veiled mysterious woman would bring her.

After the ten people finished the opening dance together, the host asked them to stand in a row and introduced themselves one by one.

Su Xiaran, who was sitting in the back, didn't care about what the other people were called, who it was, she only cared about the woman with the purple veil, and soon it was the woman's turn.

The sound like flowing water from a clear spring reached Su Xiaran's ears, and the woman said unhurriedly: "My name is Xia Qingyi, and I am good at pipa. ”

"Xia Qingyi...."Sitting in the audience and whispering Xia Qingyi's name, I thought it was very good, but I thought in my heart that when the game was over, I must contact this woman who mentioned her interest from the beginning.

Soon the competition began, and every masked woman showed her good side, and Xia Qingyi did the same, conquering everyone with her good piano skills.

Due to time constraints, after the competition, half of the people were eliminated, but fortunately, Xia Qingyi, who was favored by Su Xiaran as soon as he came up, was left at the end.

In the middle, the host walked up to the stage and said, "The winner of this beauty contest will receive a new treasure from our auction, longevity grass, which can extend the life of seriously ill people by another two to three years!" ”

As soon as the host's words were said, the audience exploded, such a good treasure was actually willing to take it out like this, but it convinced those boys that there must be more treasures in this auction building.

Unlike others, Su Xiaran heard the longevity grass and reacted that it would be great if she could get it to her grandmother.

After handing over Chun'er to the guards, Su Feng left with Chen Minyi, and after Hongyue and Xia Qingyi gave Su Feng a salute, they went to Su Xiaran's house in a panic to see how their young lady was doing now.

Watching Hongyue and Xia Qingyi leave, Ran'er also wanted to follow to see how Su Xiaran was doing, but her purpose was different. What she wanted to know was how the medicine worked, not worried about Su Xiaran's body.

Seeing that her sister Ran'er followed, the sensible Xia Er hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Ran'er, where are you going, the second miss can have Hongyue and Miss Xia go to their affairs, and as our maids, we are not qualified to enter and leave the second lady's room directly." ”

Ran Er saw that she was being dragged by her sister, obviously a little displeased, and said: "Sister, I'm also worried about the second miss, what if something really happens, don't drag me, let me go." ”

Hearing her sister say this, Xia Er, who was already weak, didn't say anything more to her, so she let go of her hand and let her go, as long as the second lady didn't say anything.

But when Hongyue and Xia Qingyi saw Ran'er who came up, the two looked at each other tacitly. In fact, just now they all knew that it was not Chun'er who wanted to poison the second miss, but if they had the opportunity to contact the second miss, in addition to Yundong, there were still Xia Er and He Ran'er left in the house.

Yun Dong has been with the second miss for many years, so it is naturally impossible to murder his own young lady, but although Xia Er and Ran'er were brought back by the second miss personally, they did not become Su Xiaran's henchmen.
