Chapter 17: A Stubborn Boy

Wu Shi Qi really has nothing now, and by the time the prince arrived, Wu Shi Qi had already run away, and the prince didn't dare to ask more when he saw Su Muchun's gloomy face, so he said hello and left.

He didn't want to go toe-to-toe with this killing god now, but he was in charge of the entire country's military forces, and as long as he gave the order to rebel, the throne was simply within reach.

Su Muchun looked at the back of the prince leaving and sneered: Let you rob me and let you also taste the feeling of being helpless while watching loss.

How could Su Muchun not know what that family member was doing when he ran out, he really thought that it would be stupid to go and get him gold! So he repented after calculating the time, in order to vent his evil anger first about proposing to himself and being stirred up by the prince.

And how could the prince not understand his thoughts, didn't he ask someone to propose marriage and was also disturbed by Su Muchun? He lost this game, but he still has the emperor, and a holy decree Murong Qing will be his.

The crowd of onlookers saw that there was no excitement to see, and they all turned around and left, but at this moment, Murong Qing stood up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your long-term love, but Fu Ji Building will be closed for decoration from today, and it will officially open on the eighth day of the first lunar month. ”

"In addition, recruit women from the outside world, and men to work, there is a skill is preferred, unlimited number of people are well paid, I hope you will tell each other, welcome to come and sign up!"

Murong Qing said again, "Now we are recruiting people who can do carpentry, etc., you can come and sign up now, and the wages will be settled every day and will never be in arrears." ”

Murong Qing was afraid that these people would not understand, so she tried her best to keep the words simple, but someone still asked, "What is the priority of having a skill, and what is the priority?" ”

"How good is the treatment?"

"What can a woman do here?"

Murong Qing answered one by one, "A skill is to be able to blow, pull, play, sing, sing and dance, etc., but I promise everyone that both men and women are just performing and not selling themselves." ”

Murong Qing said again: "As for the preferential treatment, that is, the money for work is very rich, women who don't know how to craft and want to learn can be taught, and the salary for learning to craft and work is fifty wen per month, if there is a guest reward, all of them belong to themselves, and they don't need to hand it over, and the work done by men may be harder, one or two silver per month." ”

Everyone heard that the wages were very tempting, but they were still a little reluctant to let their daughters come out and show up, but they could come here to work, and it was easier to pay a tael of silver a month than to resist a big bag!

Therefore, Murong Qing only recruited men here, but no women came, which made her a headache.

As for those who want to come to do the renovation workers, they are all flocking to the day to settle the wages, and for a time the Fu Ji Building is overcrowded, but this allows it to speed up the progress of the decoration.

It was almost dark after the busy work here in Fuji Building, Su Muchun waited quietly for Murong Qing like this, and Song Zilan was very curious about what Murong Qing wanted to do, so he didn't leave until everyone dispersed.

When Murong Qing came out of Fu Ji Building, not only did he not look tired but was in good spirits, but he was a little depressed here.

Su Muchun saw her thoughts and said, "Do you want to go somewhere with me?" Maybe it will put you in a good mood. ”

Murong Qing hesitated to think about it and agreed, and Su Muchun took her to the north of the capital on foot.

Feng Lin pulled Furong far away, Furong was always worried that Murong Qing always wanted to step forward, but every time Feng Lin pulled back, which made Furong very annoyed, she wanted to beat him but couldn't beat him, so she had to obey obediently.

When he walked to a somewhat dark alley, Su Muchun's long-suppressed jealousy finally broke out, he pressed Murong Qing against the wall, and asked in a low voice, "Do you have a crush on him?" ”

“……”

Murong Qing looked at the pair of eyes that were still shining in the darkness and asked, "What, who do I fall into?" ”

“……”

Su Muchun gritted his teeth and asked directly, "Do you have a crush on Song Zilan's kid?" ”

"Poof, hehehe......"

Murong Qing can be regarded as knowing why Su Muchun is so abnormal today, it turns out that he is jealous!

Su Muchun stepped forward and sandwiched Murong Qing between him and the wall, and a very magnetic and deep voice sounded above his head, "Are you still laughing?" ”

"Uh......"

As Su Muchun approached, Murong Qing could clearly feel his somewhat rapid breathing and warm snort, which made the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly seem a little ambiguous.

Seeing him like this, Murong Qing felt a little shrunken in her heart, and slowly moved her body and slipped out, but before she could slip away, she was caught back by Su Muchun, "Where do you want to go?" ”

Murong Qing said weakly, "You...... You're not going to ...... Take me somewhere? ”

Su Muchun stared at her for a long time before he sighed faintly and said, "Hey...... It's really a defeat for you. ”

Murong Qing thought that this was the end of the matter, but she didn't expect Su Muchun to get closer and say, "In the future, you have to keep a distance from other men." ”

“……”

Murong Qing looked at Su Muchun speechlessly and nodded, and Su Muchun continued to walk forward with her reluctantly.

The north side of the capital is divided into two districts, one side is the men's street, which is where some poor men gather together to find work and work, and the other side is ...... It was a place where slavery was bought and sold.

The place where Su Muchun brought Murong Qing was a place where slavery was bought and sold, although this place was against the law in modern times, but it was very common in this era.

However, most of the slaves in Xiangbei City were black merchants, and once they were caught by the government, they would also be punished by law, so they set the trading time at night.

When Murong Qing followed Su Muchun to the North City, it was already dark, and the slave merchants also rushed over with the goods they wanted to buy, and in their eyes, the people who were sold were called goods.

Su Muchun said with a heavy heart, "There are many homeless or abducted women and children here, I think you are short of manpower anyway, it is better to choose some here, and it can be regarded as giving them a way to live!" ”

As soon as Murong Qing came here, she understood Su Muchun's intentions, she nodded and said, "I've thought about it too, but I don't know if there are such people here, and now that you said it, I'm willing to help them!" ”

Su Muchun smiled with relief and said, "I know that Qing'er is kind-hearted!" ”

“……”

Murong Qing muttered dissatisfiedly, "Why do you feel cheated by you?" ”

"Hehehe......"

Su Muchun didn't speak, but his hearty laughter came, and he took Murong Qing's little hand and tightened it a little more.

Su Muchun took her to the largest slave merchant in Beishi, that person had a sideways face, his eyes showed a fierce light, he didn't see money and talked with a knife, and he would beat people if he didn't say the right word.

When the man saw that Su Muchun and Murong Qing were dressed well, he knew that they were rich people at a glance, so he was still more polite when he spoke.

The man first saluted and said, "What kind of goods do you want to choose, two nobles?" ”

Murong Qing glanced at Su Muchun and said, "Woman! ”

The man asked again, "How much?" ”

Murong Qing looked at this, and he asked, "What price?" I buy more at a lower price! ”

When the man heard that he had bought more, his eyes immediately released two green lights, and he also said with a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying, "Ten taels for children, twenty-five taels for women, and women for ...... Five taels! ”

The man said, "Since the nobles want more, it is naturally cheaper, eight taels for children, twenty taels for women, and five taels for women." ”

Murong Qing shook her head, even if she had a good heart, the silver was not so indiscriminate, the man saw Murong Qing shaking his head, his eyes rolled and asked, "I don't know how much the noble man wants to buy?" ”

Murong Qing asked, "How many do you have?" ”

The man did the math and said, "Fifty children, forty women, ten women and children!" ”

Murong Qing was so cruel in her heart that this person was really hateful, she actually abducted so many displaced children, she didn't even think about it and said, "It's all about it!" ”

The man was so shocked by Murong Qing's words that he couldn't even say everything, usually there are two or three people who come to buy people, but this girl said that she wanted them all?

The man was stunned for a while before asking, "...... Elegant...... True...... Do you really want it all? Don't look at the goods? ”

Murong Qing nodded and said, "No need! ”

After the man got the reconfirmation, he was happy, and he didn't have to look at the goods to ask for them all, which is a great thing! But his smile was cautious.

When the man looked at Murong Qing and Su Muchun, he was already nodding his head, and he said with a flattering smile on his face, "Noble, I don't know where your mansion is?" I'll send it to you tomorrow! ”

He asked Murong Qing this question, he couldn't get all these people to the General's Mansion!

Su Muchun saw that Murong Qing was embarrassed, and chuckled, and said, "Send it to Donglin Garden in the eastern suburbs of the city." ”

Murong Qing's eyes lit up when she heard this, yes! Didn't Su Muchun give her a luxury manor a few days ago! How could she have forgotten about it?

When the man heard that it was the eastern suburbs, there were all rich people, and he happily responded, "Okay! ”

"Whoa!"

Just as Murong Qing was about to leave, she heard a faint sound of chains, and she suddenly paused to look for a sound, and there was a simple wooden cage next to the wooden house behind the man.

Murong Qing'e frowned slightly, pointed to the wooden cage and asked, "What is there?" ”

The man was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Oh! Where is a disobedient teenager! ”

"Oh?"

Murong Qing walked over, stood by the wooden cage, and by the light of the torch, he saw that there was indeed a young man curled up in the corner, ragged, skinny, and injured all over his body, and it seemed that he had been beaten a lot.

The young man also looked at her, and there was also a pair of shining eyes in the dark, but there was stubbornness in his eyes, which made Murong Qing interested in him in his heart.

has fallen to this point, and still has such eyes, presumably he must have some origin, but now he can't help himself.

Murong Qing looked at the young man for a while and said, "What price is he?" ”

The man hesitated and said, "Nobleman, do you really want to buy him?" ”

Murong Qing nodded.

The man pondered for a while and said, "Fifty taels!" ”

Murong Qing disagreed: "Didn't you say that he was disobedient?" Why sell for such a high price? You can't blackmail me? ”

When the man heard this, he hurriedly explained, "The noble man doesn't know, although he is disobedient, he has a good skin, if he is trained well, he can sell it for a hundred taels!" ”

The man turned to the boy in the wooden cage and shouted, "Alas! Boy, raise your head and let your nobles see! ”

But the boy buried his head lower, and the man was so angry that he wanted to open the cage door and teach him some lessons.

Murong Qing stopped in time and said, "You don't have to look at it, it's just him, I'm going to take him away now, you can release him!" ”

The man opened the cage door and shouted, "Come out, hurry up!" Lao Tzu doesn't raise people who eat white rice! ”

The boy slowly crawled out, and the heavy chains made his weak body unable to stand up, so he could only sit on the edge of the wooden cage, but he still refused to look up.

Murong Qing didn't insist that he look up, gave him the silver and said, "Open his chains." ”

The man hesitated for a moment but did so, as soon as the chain was opened, the young man not only did not appreciate it, but got up and ran, and when the young man was about to cross Murong Qing, Murong Qing suddenly grabbed his back collar and threw it back.

The young man was thrown and snorted, but before he could get up, Murong Qing threw him a certain amount of silver and said, "If you want to escape, how can you do without Sichuan capital!" ”

“？？”

The young man lowered his head and looked at the silver that fell beside him in a daze, he didn't understand why Murong Qing wanted to buy him, but he gave him the silver back when he ran away, could it be that he was testing himself?

The young man thought of this, picked up the silver on the ground and got up and ran, he thought that if Murong Qing was arresting him back this time, he would really be testing him, and he would not give in even if he died.

But what he never expected was that this time Murong Qing did not stop him, but let him run, the young man was still wary at first, but as he ran farther and farther, he did not find the chasing figure, which made his vigilance gradually turn into doubt.
