Chapter 139: The Girl Who Sold Her Body

That Brother Fang said with a smile: "Brother Wang still said that he was not moved, and now he has even inquired about other people's old things, if he didn't think about it, how could he understand it in such detail." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Wang Lao Wu shook his head, but he was not angry, and continued: "Meng Quan of Mengjiazhuang is my good friend, these are all what he told me, how can I bother to inquire about these things. ”

Li Fangdao: "Mengjiazhuang, isn't it Meng Yuan's foreign family?" I heard that his son is going to marry a concubine again in the past few days, but then he suddenly took back all the wedding stickers, could it be that what you are talking about is ......"

Wang Lao Wu said: "Exactly, I heard Meng Quan say that this girl lost her mother at an early age, and since her mother died, that Mr. Meng has stopped teaching, and he has been thinking about his wife very much, and he has been sick since then, and his family has no income, and it didn't take long for him to live on the relief of relatives." Later, a show fell in love with this Meng girl, so he sent someone to the door to propose a new one, and the old man Meng even had a big problem with survival at this time, and saw that the other party's conditions were good, so he naturally agreed. So this show only came to marry after only three days, who knew that on the wedding day, the groom was happy for a while, and couldn't stand the persuasion of others to get drunk, and before he had time to spend candles in the cave room, he actually drank and vomited blood and died, but at that time the husband and wife's trip was over, and the two were officially husband and wife. Xiucai's family was grief-stricken, and later found someone to calculate, but said that this girl was Kefu's life, so naturally she couldn't keep it. Therefore, this Xiucai's family not only had to return the dowry, but also wrote a letter of resignation on behalf of the son, and drove the girl out. ”

The young man named Li Fang heard the "ah" sound, and stopped talking, and even the big brother Fang, who loved to talk and laugh, did not smile at all at this time, obviously hiding from this girl. I only heard Wang Lao Wu continue: "Later, this Meng girl changed her maiden name and came to the city, Meng Yuanwai's son fell in love with this girl at a glance, that is, Guan Yuer, and within a few days he was ready to marry Guo Men as a concubine, but Meng Yuanwai didn't know where to find out about this girl's previous experience, and he scolded his son, and scolded this girl for not keeping women's morals. The son of the Meng family is also considered filial, and he immediately canceled the marriage after listening to his father's words. Because the original house in Mengzhuang had already been sold, the girl was homeless at this time, but Meng Yuanwai was not too much, and temporarily gave the girl a place to live, but it was still limited to leave after three days. ”

Li Fangdao: "So this girl had no choice but to sell herself at the gate of the Meng family's compound?" ”

Wang Lao Wu said: "Yes, now that she has been driven out by the Meng family, this official girl has no place to live since then, so she came up with this way to sell herself, Meng Yuanwai didn't expect this girl to make this move, but this kind of practice is understandable, the Meng family has no way for a while, but this morning the Meng family's compound has been surrounded to the full, and everyone is watching the excitement." ”

Li Xiang and Xue'er naturally heard the conversation between these people, looked at each other, and Xue'er suddenly said, "Young master, this girl is so pitiful, let's go and take a look?" ”

Li Xiang also felt very curious, and thought that there was a saying that there was a betrayal in ancient times, didn't Xiu'e and Sanniang come here like this? Unexpectedly, when he arrived in Rongde County, he encountered such a thing again, and seeing Xue'er's unbearable expression, Li Xiang paid for the tea and walked towards the Meng family's compound with Xue'er.

This Meng family is a wealthy family in Rongde County, and has given gifts to Li Xiang before, Li Xiang has passed by in the Meng family compound before, so it is not difficult to find it, at this time a group of people have been surrounded in front of the Meng family compound, and the two squeezed in, but now there is a girl in white standing at the door, with a straw on her head, looking at the age of about eighteen years old, she looks extremely handsome, but her face is sad, and there is a piece of paper full of words on the ground next to her.

Xue'er looked at it and whispered in Li Xiang's ear: "This girl's parents have been mourned, and now she has no relatives, if someone is willing to buy it by herself, as long as she has a penny, she has a place to live, and she is willing to be a cow or a horse." ”

Li Xiang saw that there were people watching the excitement around him, but these people seemed to be just lively, but no one was willing to pay for this girl.

Li Xiangqi said: "I've heard of selling my body to bury my father, but as long as it's too cheap, right?" But why are these people just watching, but no one is willing to pay? ”

Li Xiang knew that the Song people's emphasis on etiquette was actually poisoned by feudal etiquette and religious thoughts, but he didn't expect it to be so serious that a girl who was actually not yet an adult would be so tolerated.

At this time, there were more and more onlookers, from time to time some people pointed at Guan Yu'er, and some people whispered to each other, but Li Xiang had faintly heard some words like "not keeping women's morals".

Xue'er looked sad and said in a low voice: "Young master, this girl is so pitiful, help her." ”

Li Xiang was also shocked by what was in front of him, and couldn't help but feel hidden, so he nodded. Li Xiang didn't want to step forward, after all, Meng Yuanwai had seen him, and it was not good to recognize him.

Xue'er walked over and said softly, "This girl, come with me." ”

Guan Yu'er heard someone talking, looked up, and saw a beautiful girl also looking at herself, with concern on her face, she was slightly stunned, and looked dazed, lowered her head and followed Xue'er, Meng Yuanwai's family finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two leave.

Li Xiang then followed, Guan Yu'er followed the two of them out not far away, Li Xiang asked Xue'er to take out some broken silver and handed it to her, and said, "You take this silver, leave this place from now on, when you go outside, no one knows what happened to you before, so naturally you can find a good person to marry." ”

Guan Yu'er took the silver and glanced at it, there were about a dozen taels, but she didn't expect this pair of young men and women to be so generous, she was a little surprised, and then bowed her head and said nothing.

Li Xiang thought to himself, since this kind of thing happened today, it means that it is not accidental, he can help one person, but after all, he can't change the constraints of this traditional etiquette on people, but in any case, he can be regarded as doing his best today, sighed at the moment, and pulled Xue'er and turned away.

The two walked out more than a dozen steps, and suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind them, and looked back to see that Guan Yu'er ran over, kneeling in front of the two of them with a "plop", Xue'er saw that she just bowed her head and cried, but she didn't speak, and she had no idea for a while, and suddenly took out some silver and said: "Little girl, we didn't bring too much silver taels when we came out this time, let's give you all of these." ”

Guan Yu'er looked at Xue'er and suddenly cried loudly. Xue'er ran out of ideas for a while, looked at Li Xiang again, and then listened to Guan Yu'er and said: "Miss Gongzi's great kindness, the little woman can't repay it, even if this money buys me, let me be a cow and a horse to repay the two."
