Chapter Twenty-Seven: Silly Confusion [Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation]
Sleep peacefully until dawn.
Energetic, and it is summer, Lu Qian has no reason to be lazy to sleep. After getting up to fetch water and washing up, I practiced my fists and feet in the small courtyard. After asking the shopkeeper to bring breakfast, Lu Qian thought in his heart that he would go to the county government to bring Wu Da up first, and then go to take care of Pan Jinlian's affairs.
This Qinghe's matter is over.
At this moment, the woman's crying and the voice of another woman's angry rebuke sounded in the nearby courtyard.
Last night, Lu Qian came to the courtyard in his clothes and shouted, and the woman didn't dare to cry anymore. I started this again early this morning, and it was really unlucky.
"Dao Chief, your meal is here."
A bowl of rice porridge with two steamed buns, seasonal vegetables, a stewed chicken, and a pickled egg. Lu Qian would never treat himself badly in terms of food.
But at this time, listening to the crying and noise next door, he was really a little annoyed.
"What's going on in the yard next door? I cried last night, and I was so bad this morning? "If Lu Qian was as violent as Lu Zhishen, he would be furious now. The morning was stirred up like this.
The Taoist chief calmed his anger. Next door is a businessman who has returned from Tokyo. Because there is something important in the hometown, the master of the house has gone one step earlier, and the master mother will sell the slave and maid. Xiao Er said with a snicker on his face.
This slave is also a handmaiden, and she also has human rights in terms of law, which is completely different from the Han and Tang dynasties. It's just that the term on the instrument contract is higher. For example, Lu Qian's father and daughter in Tokyo before were only three years on the deed, and the slave and maid were afraid that it would take ten years.
Lu Qian understood in his heart when he heard it.
Most of the people who are going to be sold by the housewife at this time are the people who are favored by the owner.
Lu Qian was not interested in this, so he put the food into his stomach, tidied up his makeup, put on his sword, and went out.
But after all, he glanced at the disturbance with curiosity, and this glance made his steps slow down and stand in place.
It's really beautiful that makes him a little amazing, and he looks familiar, which is the most important.
The woman Lu Qian saw, twenty years old, wore a blue gown with a straight collar and placket, a jute long skirt on the bottom, combed a hanging shoulder bun, and carried a small package in her hand. And the two that this woman doesn't look like are even more beautiful. For example, the nose, and the forehead.
The Master Li in that memory is only five points like He Xiaoqiao, and the one in front of him is even more Gan Jinlian. Lu Qian became interested.
Seeing that the man's teeth were pulling the beauty, and although the beauty was crying pitifully, the two male servants standing next to her just drove her out, and the other two women who had been pulled outside, although they were not very beautiful, but they also had a bit of a posture, and they had already accepted their fate, but Lu Qian didn't care.
As mentioned earlier, Lu Qian wants to release a little ***, but his brain is still very clear.
The beauty is greedy, but if this woman is not so similar to Gan Jinlian in the previous life, he will not stop.
For example, the other two women who were also quite attractive did not attract Lu Qian's eyes very much.
"This Taoist leader, but he has taken a fancy to ......"
There was not only one man, but two other than the man who was pulling hard, one waiting by the carriage and the other standing beside the two women.
Lu Qian got closer and saw that the two women were each carrying a small package.
The person standing beside them was about forty years old, with a square face, a little yellow, and half a head shorter than Lu Qian.
He saw that Lu Qian's eyes had been staring at the beauty, and he had a score in his heart. This is business, busy asked humbly. As for Lu Qian's Taoist dress, there is something strange about this. Is it strange for a Taoist priest to buy a woman? There are also many monks who visit the kiln.
Lu Qian glanced down at him, and nodded his chin to the crying beauty, "The official deed has been signed?" ”
By the time of the Northern Song Dynasty, Chinese contracts had developed greatly, and the official authorities had fully entered this field, and private contracts were relegated to the status of draft contracts, called "draft contracts" or "small contracts", and later called "white contract paper". According to the regulations of the government, such a contract cannot be taxed by the official, and only the official deed paper can be used as a formal deed.
Lu Qian is not afraid of spending money, he only wants to save trouble and feel at ease. The official deed of the Great Song Dynasty is still very deterrent to ordinary people.
And this private contract of the people, to be honest, is still guaranteed, as long as someone verifies it. It's like the scene where Lin Chong retired his wife in the Water Margin, that's it. And if there is an official government to handle it, it will be a wife release paperwork.
The publication of the official deed paper was originally carried out by the "county dictionary". However, the exact person in charge is the county official, who often sells the majority of empty seals, and embezzles the tax money up and down. For this person's teeth, whether it is an official deed or a private deed, it is a must-have for his subordinates.
"The Taoist has good eyesight, this little lady is very colorful, she can do everything she can sew clothes and cook rice, and she is a person who has seen the world in Tokyo. The villain didn't dare to cheat the long money, there are still eight years left in the contract, eighty times, what do you think? ”
Ren Yazi would not say to Lu Qian that this woman had been taken in by the previous master, but she had not given birth to anything. It's already not worth a lot of money. Otherwise, you have to go to three or five hundred!
Of course, the price he got would not be less than two or three hundred.
Lu Qian nodded his head, and his right hand had already thrown out a ten-tael garlic strip of gold from his sleeve pocket, "The rest will be exchanged for silver and copper." "A gentleman's appearance.
The man's teeth were very pleasantly surprised, this woman was successful in fifty times, and before he went out, he earned thirty yuan for him, which was a good profit. But then I regretted it, the Taoist in front of him was so generous, he was just going to go to a hundred, and he was afraid of it.
Pressing the contradiction in her heart, Ren Yazi greeted the man who was still pulling and pulling, and the woman knew that she had been sold in the blink of an eye.
Look at the appearance of the person, his face is a little dark, but he is very tall, with a strong posture, and a sword on his back, although there is no jade tree in the wind, but he is also heroic, but not ugly.
Seeing Ren Yazi take out the official deed, the woman looked back at the yard behind her, and she was also dead. He pressed his handprint where he had signed his name on the contract, wiped his tears, and came to Lu Qian to greet him. Lu Qian was dressed in Taoist clothes, but he spent eighty yuan to sell a woman, no matter how you look at it, he is not a serious Taoist, but who dares to say it? Who cares?
If Lu Qian is the illegitimate son of the Great View Lord, Pan Jinlian will still be blessed.
Lu Qian also signed the official deed, "Pan Jinlian? The woman wrote these three words clearly on the payment, how could the woman in front of her who looked like Gan Jinlian be Pan Jinlian?
Lu Qian felt as if a big bomb had dropped in his heart. The Water Margin clearly said that she was the maid of Zhang Dahu's family in Qinghe County.
"If the Taoist chief thinks this name is boring, he can only change it to her." The human tooth held the silver coin and said.
Pan Jinlian was talking to the other two women at this time, maybe they would have started the tearing war in the past, but now they are looking at each other with tears in their eyes.
"People are born and raised by their parents, and this name is better left by their parents."
Lu Qian was still very, very surprised in his heart. Could it be that he came to Qinghe so early, and even Pan Jinlian's fate and trajectory changed?
If it is said that this Pan Jinlian has only been entered into Zhang Dahu's family now, this will also make it.
also explained why Zhang Dahu was obviously interested in Pan Jinlian, but Pan Jinlian was unwilling and told the hostess. The mistress was willing to keep her until she was in her twenties.
When this happened, it was impossible for only that big family to hold a grudge, and the housewife would not give Pan Jinlian a good look.
If Pan Jinlian sold herself to Zhang's big family since she was a child, this would be a bit nonsense.
In this way, Pan Jinlian actually left another family, and in the Water Margin story, she also just entered Zhang Dahu's house not long ago, which was smooth.
"You can accept these coins, Master Dao, I have something to do when I go out today, so you can rest in this store first. The bed in the room should be cleaned. Eat food, wine, and fruits, and take the money for yourself. Lu Qian said and handed Pan Meimei a key.
He himself walked out of the inn without touching the ground, and rode towards the county office. Lu Qianren was a little sullen, but he was not so impatient. This beauty has been bought by him, is the duck in his mouth still afraid of flying?
When the official deed in his arms is fake, when no one dares to be a fugitive slave, isn't it?
Behind her, Pan Jinlian held the silver coins and packages, looking at the back of the Taoist who had only made two commands, striding away, stupidly confused, surprised and stunned with a strong sense of chaos in the wind......
It wasn't what she had thought.
