Chapter 496: The County Lord's Bidding
Zhao Yuanxuan was very happy, because she felt that she had found a clean person, in her mind, such a girl was at least clean, not like those vulgar fans who were full of philistine, but she didn't know that she was being used, and that woman was just taking advantage of Zhao Yuanxuan's ignorance from the beginning.
Although the wine and food are all on the table, the guests at this table do not drink, and they rarely even move the dishes, because several people are embarrassed by Zhao Yuanxuan's existence, and no one can let go of their hands and feet.
Only Zhao Yuanxuan was interested, Ji Ning felt that this little girl was being used and didn't know it, and this social practice class was also very necessary.
Tang Xie and the others also looked very embarrassed, if it weren't for Ji Ning having been talking to Zhao Yuanxuan without saying a word, they even felt that they should leave immediately, so as not to continue to have any entanglements with the county lord of Huaizhu, after all, this is the pearl of King Chong's palm, and they can't afford to provoke it.
"A few sons, Miss Song and Mrs. Cao San are about to come out, how many of you will go out and have a look?" The previous aunt opened the door and came in again, and in her words, she also regarded Ji Ning and the others as big customers, and wanted Ji Ning and the others to take care of the business, even if they didn't buy Miss Song and Mrs. Cao San in the end, it was best to raise the price and make the final transaction price higher.
Ji Ning said: "How many, go out and have a look?" ”
Tang Xie hesitated a little and said, "Yongning, we didn't bring much silver here, is it necessary?" ”
"Let's go check it out!" Han Yu advocated beside him, "After all, Yongning has intentions in this regard, maybe who will he buy back?" Besides, this banquet is not much fun! ”
A few people were still very happy drinking, but because of Zhao Yuanxuan's existence, no one present could let go of their hands and feet, and the atmosphere of the banquet became stagnant.
Zhao Yuanxuan also seemed to want to know about Miss Song and Cao Fang's family, and nodded: "It just so happens that my son also wants to go out and have a look, please!" ”
After speaking, Zhao Yuanxuan took the first step, in fact, she herself was tired of staying in a smoky place, and she wanted to go out to a crowded place, and she could leave with an excuse to turn around.
Everyone came out of the room, the outside is not like Tianxianglou to prepare seats for guests, not even tables, chairs and benches, what comes out is just to watch the ceremony, or to pay for the redemption, just a few rounds of bidding, and there is no talent show, people come out at most to go through the motions, and they will directly enter the bidding ranks.
"There are only four of them!" There is another aunt in her forties who is presiding below, "But it is only divided into two batches, the people of the Song family, and the people of the Cao family, and then they will be let out for a walk, as for those who want to know more, they can only go to the room to test it themselves!" ”
Someone asked, "What do you mean?" ”
The forty-year-old aunt below didn't want to explain at all, as if the rules here were all certain, and those who didn't know would be treated as a mallet, and no one would explain it to him.
Zhao Yuanxuan stood in front of the railing on the second floor, looked at Ji Ning puzzled, and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"Isn't that obvious? Although there are four women who came out today, they will be divided into two groups, on one side is the young lady of the Song family, and on the other side is the people of the Cao family, there should be a third lady of the Cao family, and two other female relatives of Cao Shangshu's family, as for who they are, they will only know after they come out! Ji Ning said.
Zhao Yuanxuan frowned and said, "Why do you want to sell the people of the Cao family together?" ”
"Because only when we are together, we are more valuable!" Ji Ning said, "The offended officials, if they are not good-looking, will not be sent to the place of Fengyue at all, but will be assigned as slaves, become slaves of the government, or slaves for the soldiers in the north." Only those who are good-looking and have an identity background will be sent to a place like Shui Yuexuan. As for the female dependents of Cao Shangshu's family, it is obvious that only this Mrs. Cao San has an attractive appearance, and those political enemies of Cao Shangshu, in addition to wanting to get this Mrs. Cao San, naturally also want to get involved with the other female relatives of the Cao family, what they want is not a beauty, but just a kind of revenge psychology. Put the daughters of the Cao family together with Mrs. Cao San and put them out for redemption, can they be sold for a high price? ”
Zhao Yuanxuan frowned and said, "The people of the imperial court, are they so perverted?" ”
Ji Ning glanced at Zhao Yuanxuan, he wanted to say, there are more unreasonable things in the imperial court, how much can you know about a little girl?
If you are a canary for the rest of your life, and even dare to leak out such a big thing as your father wanting to kill Princess Wenren, do you know what kind of danger you are in? King Chong is likely to be the next person to be convicted, it depends on how much the emperor forbears King Chong, you may still be the lord of Huaizhu now, but after King Chong's rebellion in the future, everything will not be certain.
The aunt who was in her forties below raised her hand and said, "Miss Song, please!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw two maidservants entering, they went in not to "invite" people to come out, but to "drag" a person with bound hands out, as if leading a prisoner, this Miss Song even had a cloth in her mouth, it was obvious that this Miss Song was not very obedient, and she would still make trouble when she arrived at Shui Yuexuan, otherwise she would not need to be treated by this means.
"Everyone, the temperament is a little wilder, and I am more tolerant, but the crime is decided, after you buy it back, life and death are not involved, please give the silver!" That aunt is also very professional, and she explained some not-so-good things in advance.
Buy a "wild" woman to go back, maybe she will commit suicide and die at some point, even if she has a good appearance and figure, and even has a good birth, it doesn't have much effect to buy it back.
Tang Xie said disdainfully: "What else do you say is good-looking, has a background, it turns out that she is a master who thinks about your life, such a woman, it would be good if she could sell it for a few hundred taels." Whoever buys it back, maybe the front foot just enters the house, and the back foot goes into the well! ”
Regarding the matter of buying a woman in Qinlou Chu Pavilion, Tang Xie is also a doorman, after all, he just bought a Song Qin'er to go back as a concubine.
Sure enough, General Song has many political enemies, and even the news that Miss Song is going to sell has long been spread, but there are still no bids below.
After a few rounds of bidding, it was only three hundred taels of silver, which was not even as expensive as Song Qin'er that Tang Xie bought before.
Anyway, a Song Qin'er also spent Tang Xie 600 taels of silver.
In the end, the price stayed at eight hundred taels, and no one shouted the price for a long time, when suddenly a voice sounded next to Ji Ning: "One thousand taels!" ”
With this voice, many people present who came out to bid for the auction came over, and when they saw that it was a polite young man shouting the price, they still felt strange, and they were thinking that this was a person who had something to do with the Song family, and would actually come out to make trouble.
It was none other than Zhao Yuanxuan, who seemed to know Miss Song and insisted on buying her.
