Chapter 538: Red Warbler
In early autumn, the scorching summer sun does not seem to subside, but Jinyang, the Northern Han Kingdom, is located north of the Yellow River, and at this time you can already feel a little coolness of autumn from the wind. On Huanghua Street in the inner city of Jinyang, Yang Ye, who was wearing a thin linen cloth and a hat, was riding a horse slowly, he was a burly young man.
Yang Ye is not a person to be messed with at first glance, not only because of his tall stature, but also because of the look on his broad face and the gaze of his eyes, which are not what an honest man can have. However, his style is not ostentatious, and the clothes he wears are old and a little wrinkled; Throughout the body, there is nothing of value.
But he doesn't like money, he just doesn't like publicity, in fact, his family background is very thick, and he thinks that the things he really gets are reliable, and only with real things can he maintain his husband's bearing.
There were only two attendants without hats and hair in buns, and they followed him slowly. Yang Ye is usually not a fierce and domineering person, he is very pragmatic. At the entrance of the street in front, a very old yellow locust tree appeared in sight, Yang Ye has long been familiar with it, in fact, this street became "Yellow Flower Street" because the yellow locust tree blooms yellow flowers.
What a quiet and leisurely afternoon, the breeze brought the fragrance of small flowers on the yellow locust, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, and Yang Ye's mood became relaxed.
At this moment, I saw a carriage stop at a gate under the yellow flower tree, a man and a woman got down from the carriage, and then dragged out a girl from the carriage. The girl was not escorted, she was almost lifted up and carried to the door, and the little girl seemed to be very reluctant and struggling. She opened her mouth and said: "Steward Li, please spare me, I won't go to that kind of place, please......" The accent carried the soft language of Wu Nong in the Jiangnan area, and the voice sounded particularly pitiful.
As soon as she opened her mouth, she immediately attracted passers-by to stop and watch, and the world is the most favorite to see the strange...... It was obviously a strange thing, because the door was a kiln door, and the woman was very pretty, and she didn't speak with a local accent, and everything was a little different.
"Mother! In broad daylight, forcing good people to become prostitutes? An entourage behind Yang Ye scolded.
Yang Ye didn't say anything, just like his usual style, he didn't want to cause trouble casually. But he did arouse his curiosity, and immediately rode a few paces and stopped to watch from the side of the street.
The little lady begged: "Steward Li, you have a kind heart!" You sold me to the bitter cold family, I really don't want to be a prostitute, I beg you, be kind! ”
Yang Ye looked at it, this little lady is really beautiful, but she is not like the ordinary women in Hedong, the folk girls in Hedong are also beautiful, but they eat millet and the wind and sand are also heavy, and the skin cannot be so watery. There is a charm on the beautiful face of the little lady, with fine skin and tender meat, a slender figure, and a gentle posture like smoke and clouds in the south of the Yangtze River.
Yang Ye is hot-blooded and fanggang's age, of course, he also likes beautiful women, but he is a serious person, not a lustful person, so he still didn't rush for a while.
But the passers-by who were watching around couldn't hold their breath, seeing that such a beautiful girl was going to be forced into a prostitute, there were always people who couldn't help it. Someone shouted in the crowd: "What do you mean, is there a royal law, and you dare to force a good person to be a prostitute so blatantly?" ”
This is also a question in Yang Ye's heart, so he feels that this matter is strange.
The man holding the little lady finally didn't dare to offend the anger of the public, and let the little lady go, and the little lady stumbled and fell, and hurriedly helped the woman on the other side. The man turned to the crowd and hugged his fists and said: "Someone owes us money, real money is given to him, and it is not natural to repay the debt?" ”
No one refutes such an obvious truth.
The man said, "But he can't afford to pay the money, so he uses the things of the house to pay off the debt; This girl is the concubine he bought, is it his property? Now that she is being used to pay off her debts, let's sell her to make up for the loss, is it a violation of the king's law? ”
The crowd was speechless, but their anger did not subside. After all, it's one thing, it's another thing to do something so ugly, it's a bit too much. Yang Ye also felt this way, so he still felt unusual.
So the man carried the little lady and continued to walk forward. At this moment, a man in a brocade robe strode up and blocked their way, and the man in the brocade robe shook the paper fan in his hand, and stood there with his head held high, looking up at the sky very arrogantly.
"What do you mean?" The man holding the little lady frowned.
The brocade-robed man said: "How much money does the brothel charge?" ”
The man named Steward Li said, "Twenty runs." ”
The brocade-robed man said, "I bought it." ”
Although the people didn't like the posture of the brocade-robed man, after all, it was better for the little lady to sell it to him than to pick up customers in the kiln, so they didn't say anything.
The brocade-robed man reached into the money bag and touched the gold, but unexpectedly, Steward Li said: "This benevolent brother, if you want to buy it, you can buy it, two hundred times!" ”
The brocade-robed man was furious and said, "What do you mean?" Listening to your accent, you are not from Jinyang, I advise you to leave some leeway in doing things. ”
Steward Li said: "The people of the Jinyang Mansion, we haven't drunk together. Of course, we don't mean to bully people, but when this girl mortgages us, it is worth 200 yuan! ”
The brocade-robed man said: "Since you arrived at 200 guan, you will sell it for 200?" ”
Steward Li said coldly: "Because she can't afford to be worth two hundred." After that, I rudely lifted the little lady's skirt, and saw that the feet were very strange, a pair of wood. The crowd craned their necks to look at it, and they said, "The feet are fake." "This woman has no feet, she is disabled."
The man in the brocade robe was also stunned.
"So if it's twenty runs, it must be sold in the kiln." Steward Li said, "If this benevolent brother can pay 200 yuan to pay off the debt, the brother will definitely be happy to offer it!" ”
The brocade-robed man pondered for a moment, and quietly wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, the little lady suddenly knelt on the ground, crawled over and hugged the ankle of the brocade-robed man, and the pear blossoms brought rain and burst into tears: "Son! Son! You buy me...... Great kindness, the slave family will repay you for being a cow and a horse! ”
The brocade-robed man shook his head and whispered, "Two hundred times, it's really ...... Not a decimal number. ”
The little lady said: "The son is also a person from a rich and noble family, and there must be no shortage of two hundred yuan, so you should do a good deed......
When Yang Ye saw this, he felt that the matter was probably reasonable, so he was no longer curious...... The person named Steward Li was resentful because he couldn't collect his debts and felt that he had lost money, and it was understandable that he had to sell other people's concubines into brothels; After all, in this world, if there is no reason to do things too ugly, there are too few and too few.
At this time, the man in the brocade robe already wanted to withdraw: "I don't have a good heart, but it takes 200 times to do a good deed, which is really a bit unbearable." ”
The little lady hugged him tightly, as if she had caught a life-saver, and begged: "I must make myself worthy of two hundred times!" I know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I can wait for people...... You treat me as a slave, and you are your person who bought it, and the slave family is just one of your things......"
This sentence seems to be said to Yang Ye, at least he is already a little tempted. On the one hand, although this little lady is a little more expensive and still disabled, she doesn't want anything of her own, just to eat something, and it's not a drag; On the other hand, a beautiful and pitiful woman, Yang Ye felt that the eldest husband should protect such a person, and a man's temperament and compassion affected him.
After a while, Yang Ye turned around and whispered, "You take my mount over and ask the man if he wants to change it." ”
The entourage was overjoyed, and it was estimated that he had long wanted to help the poor little lady. Immediately, after Yang Ye dismounted, he led the horse over, walked up to the people, and the entourage asked: "This brother, look at this horse, is it worth two hundred yuan?" ”
The man glared, grabbed the horse's mouth and pinched it open, and said, "What do you mean, use this horse for people?" ”
"That's what it means." The attendant said calmly.
"Done." Although Steward Li pretended to be expressionless, the red light on his face had already revealed his joyful mood.
The attendant handed over the reins: "We don't like to be verbose, so make a deal." ”
The little lady suddenly turned around on the ground and cried: "Thank you for your great kindness! ”
Seeing this, the surrounding people cheered loudly: "Good! Good! "Congratulations to the strong man who has returned with a beautiful woman!"
The attendant smiled, "I don't dare to accept this big gift. ”
At this time, another man led the horse over, helped the little lady up, and the two of them worked together to carry her onto the horse. The little lady was frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "Slave family...... Slaves don't know how to ride horses. The man next to him said: "The little lady just hold the saddle, step on the stirrups, and let's lead the way." ”
The two of them took the little lady on horseback and walked towards the street. Turning the corner, I saw another burly young man with a broad face waiting there on horseback. The little lady looked at him blankly.
The entourage said: "I didn't dare to accept the thank you gift just now, because the grace is not me, but our lord." ”
When the little lady heard this, she was grateful, and wanted to get off the horse and salute. Yang Ye hurriedly came to stop her immediately: "Be careful, you can't ride a horse, and the ceremony will be waived." ”
"Engong is the master of the slave family, and the slave family will definitely repay him wholeheartedly in the future." The little lady said.
"Hmph." Yang Ye seemed to be very indifferent, didn't say anything, only said, "Let's go." ”
The little lady rode on the horse, was led slowly, and after a while, she asked cautiously: "The slave family has not asked for the name of Engong Gao?" ”
Yang Ye said: "Liu Jiye." ”
Liu Jiye ...... You are Yang Invincible! The little lady sighed in surprise.
"Hmph." Yang Ye only made one voice again.
The little lady said: "The slave family has long heard of Langjun's name, and he is a world-famous hero......"
Yang Ye said: "It's just a false name." ”
The attendant smiled: "I remembered the guy who wore the brocade robe just now, and I talked and sang for a long time, and I was reluctant to do two hundred times." Haha, it's our lord, this is called a character! ”
The little lady said shyly: "The slave family is called Red Ying." ”
