Chapter 0012: Mother, you are so great
Chunxiang crawled out of the grave, she was not in a hurry to leave, but stopped in front of her tombstone, but her eyes stayed on the inscription in front of the tombstone, the tombstone was engraved with Lishu "Chunxiang's tomb, Qinghe River is in the sky", looking back at the direction of Qinghe City, she slowly whispered: "I didn't see it, I still am a hot-blooded man!" ”
Chunxiang's face changed in an instant, and then a trace of fierceness flashed in the corners of her eyes, and she continued to bow down and said, "Ximenqing, I think you are alive to the end!" Hum! If it weren't for Master's refusal to let me make a move....... ”
She whispered, the skin on her face suddenly squirmed, Li's hand lifted slightly, the wind and sand around her suddenly rose, and the dust on Haruka's body fell and rolled in the surrounding wind, completely covering her figure.
The wind that enveloped her swirled, but she saw her hands raised upward, and the wind shape around her gradually dissipated, revealing the woman inside.
The spring fragrance that came back from the dead was fresh and refined at this time, the dust on her body had long since dissipated, and her clothes were spotless, but her face was like a crack, and the skin on her face was cracked like fine sand debris falling down, and her original appearance was revealed.
She is elegant and vulgar, with a light and spiritual aura, delicate skin, like a quiet orchid, indescribably gentle and lovely. The nose is still tall and firm, but the wings of the nose are a little plumper than the spring fragrance, looking round and delicate, and the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned at this time, revealing a smart and playful.
"Ahshu, how do you feel now?" A kind voice came, and in the blink of an eye, a Taoist wearing a high-crowned Taoist robe stood in front of the girl who was originally Chunxiang and was now called Ah Shu, if Ximen Qing was here, he must know that the middle-aged Taoist was the Gongsun Sheng of the Yunlong who escaped from him that day.
The girl was a little excited, but then bowed and saluted, "Ah Shu to see Master, Master, your elixir is really good, I didn't expect to deceive Ximenqing, he thought he killed me, and he was scared enough at that time!" ”
The middle-aged Taoist priest nodded and coughed twice: "Zishu, it's really that Jiang Lintian saved that Yan Pojiao, Ximen Qing will attack Jiang Lintian sooner or later, and this time it is a last resort to let you leave the sight of the Great Song Dynasty in this way!" ”
Ah Shu was a little disappointed, and did not directly answer the middle-aged Taoist chief's question: "Master, do you really want to go against the Great Song Dynasty, does Master think that with the current strength of the Chai family, you can fight against the court?" ”
The middle-aged Taoist priest sighed, and said in a deep tone: "For the teacher, I also know that the Great Song Dynasty is now dead and not stiff, and it has not yet reached the point of falling apart. ”
The girl Zishu nodded, and the Taoist priest turned around and was about to leave, but the girl kept her voice: "Master, you haven't given me the antidote yet?" ”
The middle-aged Taoist priest stopped and let out a self-deprecating laugh: "Silly girl, the pill that the master gave you will automatically expire in four days, I didn't expect that Jiang Lintian's kid was kind enough to help you, and actually let you climb out of the grave, originally to let you leave from the county government and scare that Li Bingzhong, hahaha!" The man laughed.
Zishu not only smiled: "Shu'er wants to ask the master for one thing, let Jiang Lintian go, and the disciple sees that he is not a traitor......
The Taoist priest pondered for a while and said with a smile: "Ah Shu, don't worry, you have your own sense of proportion for the teacher." With that, he disappeared into the darkness.
The girl Zishu straightened the hair on her sideburns, and also took a step towards the direction of Qinghe County.
......
Qinghe City, Luoma City.
Xu walked around the market accompanied by Fu Bo, her shrewd eyes looked at the mules, horses and livestock in the market, and turned back to ask Fu Bo: "Fu Bo, did you really hear that stinky boy say that he wants to go to Yuncheng?" ”
"Madam, how dare you talk nonsense about this kind of thing, the young master only said that he offended Ximenqing, said that he had colluded with Gao Taiwei, and he was afraid that he would be convicted of counter-judgment by the other party, and said that Ximenqing wanted to get my family's four shops!" Fauber whispered in response.
"Hehe, my son has grown up! Fu Bo, I will teach you this matter of buying horses and slaves, but I don't understand, and I will have to ask you to take care of it more in the future. Xu commanded.
"It's just, madam, are we really going to Yuncheng? Qinghe is also very good, if Ximen Qing dares to attack the young master, the old slave will never let him go. Fauber snapped.
"Fu Bo, let's be careful, my husband once told me that doing business is not a long-term solution, if one day, I still go back to my hometown to buy a few hundred acres of land and cultivate and read heirlooms."
"Madame is right, old slave remember!" Fauber bowed in response.
The master and servant walked through the bustling market of the mule and horse market, and this street was clearly different from the other markets, that is, in addition to selling mules, horses, cattle and sheep and other livestock, it also sold people.
Although Qinghe City is located in the territory of Dongping Mansion in Shandong Province, it is not far from the capital and the Daimyo Mansion, some bankrupt ones have not settled down, the captives of the Northwest Liao State, and the girls of good families who have been abducted and trafficked will be sold as slaves here, and on the fifteenth day of each month, there will be tooth customers in the market shuttling between buyers and sellers, talking, arguing about prices, bargaining, and it is not lively.
As soon as he entered the market, he was greeted by the noisy and lively shouting and a peculiar smell mixed with feces, urine and sweat, Xu frowned, this smell was really uncomfortable.
"Madam, if we still don't go in, we will have our own tooth customers come to us, wait!" Seeing Xu's expression, Fu Bo knew that his wife must not be able to stand this unpleasant smell.
After a while, a short and stout man walked up to Fu Bo, his clothes were ragged, but the pulp was clean, and he had gray hair.
"I said Wang Lao Wu, why are you still a tooth guest in Luoma City, or an old bachelor?"
Wang Lao Wu smiled innocently on his face: "Fu Ye, if someone like us follows me, it will hurt others for a lifetime, it's better to be single, it's better to be single." ”
"Old five, this is my wife, today my wife wants to buy more than ten young and strong guys, five clever maids, remember that the criteria for choosing young and strong guys are according to the standards we used to choose under the hands of the prime minister, age, it is best not to be more than fifteen years old, this matter is done, you will follow my wife in the future, I guarantee that I will not be able to treat you badly." Fauber commanded.
"Okay, Fu Ye, I'm going to do it for you, but Fu Ye, I'm afraid you didn't choose these people to be ordinary slaves!" The man named Lao Wu was a little surprised.
"Don't ask more, can I still hurt you?"
"Howler!" The fifth child agreed knowingly, turned around and entered the market.
Fu Bo turned to Xu and said: "Madame, don't worry, the old man has known this Wang Lao Wu for 20 years, he used to be under the old Jing and the minister, and his martial arts are outstanding, and then we can't get used to embezzling our salaries and silver, so we left the army. That Wang Lao Wu learned that I was in Qinghe, came to me, because the master had just died, I was inconvenient to mention it in front of Mrs., so he was here to be a guest, I didn't expect time to pass so fast, this time has been twelve years! ”
Xu nodded: "I see, since he is a trusted person of Fu Bo, let him train these slaves in the future!" ”
"That relationship is good, it is the strength of the fifth child, I can't imagine that this kid will always have a home, and he will definitely be grateful to Mrs. Fu Boxin said.
About half an hour later, Wang Lao Wu walked out, followed by thirteen and a half years old boys and five young girls.
Seeing that Xu nodded with satisfaction, Fu Bo asked, "You kid doesn't lose my wife, this price!" How much? ”
Wang Lao Wu looked at Fu Bo with some resentment: "Fu Ye, you have to talk about your conscience, these thirteen teenagers and five girls I have carefully selected, either the family has suffered a disaster, or the orphans are suffering from hardship, I think it is best not to have relatives, so as not to hang up in the future, this wasted some time, these people have a total of three hundred and forty dollars, if I Wang Lao Wu has a little greed for ink, I will not die well!" ”
"Alright! All right! It's still the same, I don't have any determination, I can't make a joke, go and apply for the official deed! As he spoke, Fu Bo threw Wang Lao Wu a package, and when he opened it, he saw that it was white silver, and then walked with the slave merchant to the official office of the market.
Two or three quarters of an hour later, Wang Lao Wu returned to the gate of the market again, and Fu Bo instructed Wang Lao Wu: "Old Wu, the remaining money should be enough to buy five horses, if there is still a surplus, hehe, I believe there will be a surplus, you can buy a few bundles of green bamboo, remember, it will be more than five years, and if you have more money to spare, buy a few bags of rice." Let's go back first, and when you're done, bring someone to the silk village."
Wang Lao Wu's face was bitter, and his brows were almost wrinkled together: "I said master, you can kill me, and the remaining eighty taels of silver are only enough to buy five good horses, and you are still the original iron rooster!" ”
Fu Bo laughed, Xu is also a businessman, knowing that Fu Bo is good, she wanted to laugh, but she still held back.
"Fifth brother, I will leave the family affairs to you in the future!"
Wang Wuyi was stunned, his face was a little frightened, but he immediately regained his composure: "Madame trusts the Sprinkle family so much, and it is the duty of the Sprinkle family to do good things for the lady." ”
Xu nodded, and left Luoma City with Fubo.
As soon as the sun hung obliquely in the air, the noise in the courtyard woke up Jiang Lintian and his servants, the two of them were worried for a long time last night, and they didn't dare to sleep deeply, but they slept until three o'clock in the morning this morning, and the two of them covered their heads with quilts, but they still didn't want to get up, but they didn't want to be pulled up from the bed by Brother Qiao Yun.
"Master Jiang, why did your family buy so many servants, and you still don't go out to have a look?"
Last night, under the persuasion of Brother Qiao Yun, Pan Jinlian finally agreed to live in Jiang's house, and learned that she was living with the Su family in Meiyanlou, she was also relieved, after all, Jiang Lintian's reputation was not very good, but after the pain of losing her relatives, she was also very grateful to Jiang Lintian for his help.
Jiang Lintian and the three of them stood in the courtyard in a daze, only to see several large bundles of bamboo piled up in the courtyard, and Fu Bo and another stout man were directing some thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys and girls to cut the bamboo poles to a length of about eight feet, one end wrapped with a black cloth, the other end sharpened, and they were roasting on the fire, as if they were making something.
"Fauber, what are you doing here?" Jiang Lintian grabbed Fu Bo and said the question in his heart.
Fu Bo looked around, pulled Jiang Lintian aside, and whispered: "Madame is afraid that Ximenqing will be unfavorable to the young master, so she bought some slaves to protect the young master, which can cost half of the family of the silk village, and Madame already knows that the young master is going to Yuncheng, and there will be a person to take care of after there are many people!" ”
The corners of Jiang Lintian's mouth squirmed, tears of gratitude flashed on his face, and at this time, he wanted to shout loudly, "Mother, you are so great!" ”
