As he spoke, the small sedan chair had already walked in front of him, and the family carrying the sedan chair was in a hurry, and he should be in a hurry to get out. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"This little brother, it's getting late at night, where are you going in a hurry?" Li Mo asked curiously.

The family before the fight paused, looking embarrassed, "The master ordered, let's go to Ya Pozi as soon as possible to buy a maid born in the lunar year, and we must come back immediately, isn't it embarrassing for us?" ”

"Oh, hurry up, let's go, it's too late to come back, and the master is going to punish us again." The family carrying the sedan chair in the back urged repeatedly, for fear that something would go wrong.

The face of the family in front of him changed, and he walked towards the door, "Let's go, I don't want to be beaten again." ”

Looking at the two housekeepers in a hurry, Li Mo was a little strange, why did he go to buy a maid at night?

Although the ancients also forbade the sale of human beings, they did not crack down on it very severely.

In the streets and alleys, you can see at any time the bitter master who sells the grass to sell himself, saying that he sells his body to bury his father or mother for medical treatment, and only needs a small amount of money in exchange for a thin coffin or a few pairs of decoctions, and he becomes a maidservant for others to call.

This kind of self-selling behavior is not very controlled by the government, and most of them turn a blind eye.

Speaking of this, Li Mo suddenly remembered a sad man.

To this day, he still firmly believes that the tragic man who banned the human trade and gave 4.4 million slaves land, but was finally dismembered by the peasant army, is 100% like him, a proper traverser.

This traverser is Wang Mang, who established a new dynasty, with a clear mind and great ambitions. In ancient times, they tried in vain to build socialist people's communes, liberate slaves and maids, and nationalize industry and commerce.

As a result, the 20,000 rags peasant army led by Liu Xiu simply killed his 400,000 iron cavalry national army.

It can be seen that being a man really can't be too good to others, and being too good will only get the other party greedy for an inch.

You ask him to eat meat, but they want to drink your blood. Even want to crack open your bones to see the color of the bone marrow inside.

Therefore, there are often traversers, but it is not common for people like Wang Mang to dare to change their lives against the sky.

If you dare to resist the Mandate of Heaven, you must be prepared for the possibility that you will never recover.

This is the reason why Li Mo, who is a traverser, has been holding back and forbearing.

Don't pretend to be forced, pretend to be struck by lightning! It's too arrogant, maybe one day it will be bombarded to the point that there is not even a piece of scum left.

"Brother Li, are they going to buy maidservants so late?"

Xu Xian's question brought back Li Mo's thoughts of fugue in space, and he shrugged, "Who knows, maybe it's an urgent shortage of manpower." ”

"How is that possible? If there is a shortage of people in the house, the housekeeper will come early to ask if he wants to buy one. If they go to buy it at night like this, it must be improvised. Xu Xian said firmly.

See, add? Tut-tut, big families just don't treat people as human beings! That tone is like buying a piece of furniture.

Li Mo secretly complained, he was very unaccustomed to Xu Xian's style of being a disciple of a high-ranking family, and said sarcastically, "I don't know how the Xu Mansion added slaves?" ”

Xu Xian didn't hear Li Mo's unkind tone, thought seriously for a while, and said, "I don't know, these trivial matters are generally taken care of by my mother." Later, my mother and father lost the news, and my sister was dealing with it. ”

At the mention of his parents, Xu Xian's expression became a little gloomy, and he sighed, "Alas, there has been no news of my parents so far, but I have been exiled again." If they return suddenly, how sad they must be when they see no one at home. ”

Li Mo opened his mouth, hesitated, and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

He originally wanted to say that Xu Xian's parents had left strangely, but he was afraid that they were already unlucky. I was afraid that it would be fulfilled if I said it, so I simply kept silent. What if the family just travels together and returns soon?

The two looked at each other speechlessly, and the atmosphere became a little solemn for a while.

Li Mo was about to say something to break the silence, when Bai Guo pulled the corner of his clothes and shouted hungry, "Cousin, I'm so hungry." ”

Since he met Hu Ye, Bai Guo had already shouted hungry several times, and Li Mo's stomach also growled.

People are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic.

After careful calculation, they have been walking for an afternoon, and they have not eaten rice, and the little thing in their stomachs is only afraid that they will be consumed long ago, so it is strange that they are not hungry.

Li Mo looked around, but he didn't see any traces of the housekeepers or maidservants around, so he simply grabbed Bai Guo's hand and pulled him forward, "Let's go, let's go and ask, see if there are any snacks in the kitchen for you to pad." ”

Xu Xian hurriedly followed, he was also a little hungry, but he was embarrassed to say.

The two of them groped in the unfamiliar Hu Mansion, although these courtyards were very large in ancient times, the layout was similar, Xu Xian quickly led them to find the location of the kitchen with the topography of the Xu Mansion.

There was some hustle and bustle in the kitchen, there were two cooks by the door, and one was squatting by the stove to light the fire, and in front of the desk stood a chef with a big waist and a round waist, who was working hard to chop the ingredients to be cooked.

Li Mo led Bai Guo into the kitchen and asked in a loud voice, "Dare to ask my sisters, there are some leftover snacks here, my brother is hungry." ”

Hearing someone talking at the door, the cooks turned their heads to look over, and saw that the one standing outside was the official who the master had invited back, and they didn't dare to slack off at all.

The big-shouldered and round-waisted cook wiped her hands on the water skirt around her waist, took a plate of light pink crispy green fragrant cake from the desk, and hurriedly walked over, "There is a plate of fragrant cake here, take it to the little boy to eat." ”

Li Mo thanked him and led the white fruit to leave, but he smelled a strange fragrance.

The fragrance was refreshing, and the gluttonous insects in his stomach made a fuss, so he asked casually, "Dare to ask this sister, what kind of food are you cooking, and how do you taste so delicious?" ”

The cook who called her sister was very useful, she covered her slightly fat lips with her fleshy short hands, and sneered, "It's not a good thing, it's my lord's medicinal wine that has been cellared for decades." The wine has been poured out, and the medicinal herbs inside have been ordered to be steamed. Now it's the stuff that soaks in the sake that smells like it. ”

Li Mo sniffed again, he had never smelled such a mouth-watering fragrance, it was really rare in the world!

It seems that what Xu Jiaorong said just now is not right, what men like is not only nephrite Qing'e and Qu Xiucai, but also the appetizing gluttonous food.

"Cousin," Bai Guo tugged at the corner of Li Mo's clothes with his hand, raised his head and prayed in a low voice, "Let's go quickly, okay?" It stinks so much that I want to throw up. ”

Li Mo was a little surprised, stinky? Could it be that his nose is broken?

With this doubt, Li Mo asked Xu Xian on the side, "Do you smell anything?" ”

Xu Xian nodded, "The aroma here is overflowing, the aftertaste is long, and it is wonderful." Xiaosheng is a little salivating. ”
