Chapter 104 First acquaintance with Yan Song I
Yang Chengzu heard her say this, and then smiled, "Second sister is a smart person, and it's not too late to understand now." Only when I become your man can I speak in front of the buyer. You don't have to cry and mourn, you want to be a side house for me, I don't know how many there are now. You don't know what kind of family background you are now, don't look at you as the descendant of a thousand families, I bought it with ten stones of fine grain. Wipe away your tears and come with me. ”
Seeing that he promised to save his sister, Yu'e hurriedly wiped her tears and stood up, tidied up her clothes, and took an umbrella to go out first. Yang Chengzu took the silver and umbrella and came outside, and there were more than 20 guards around him. Among them, there are not only the children of brocade, but also the bodyguards hired by Ruxian.
These bodyguards are all refugees from Huguang and Shaanxi provinces who are proficient in martial arts. Their loyalty may not be very reliable, but Yang Chengzu can conclude at least one thing after secret investigation: as long as they distribute food, as long as they need food, these people will use it for themselves.
More than two dozen oil umbrellas were opened, wrapping Yang Chengzu and Li Yu'e in the middle, and several men carefully opened their umbrellas for them to prevent the rain from falling on the two of them. Yang Chengzu grabbed Li Yu'e's arm, and the latter seemed to want to struggle, but he only moved, and let him pinch it, and the body fragrance of his daughter's family went straight to the end of his nose.
"Second sister, let's go, let's go to the dock, I guess Mei'e is over there."
Under the eaves of a house opposite the teahouse, the White Lotus Saintess and the Fire Wind Phoenix also watched from a distance with umbrellas, and when they saw them walking out, the Saintess said: "I think they should go to the dock, and the population of this Huaxian County is all going on over there." Moreover, when the Beijing officials are released, they are generally by boat, and it is impossible to go to the county seat to make the delivery. ”
"Holy Maiden, let's not go. So many people, I ...... I'm worried you've missed something. "Huofeng Huang decided that this holy woman was looking for an opportunity to assassinate the handsome brocade-clothed petty official, although it was inconvenient for him to stop him directly, but it was still okay to talk small words and beat the side drum.
"Sister, I know what you mean, I won't touch your heart." When there are only these two people, the White Lotus Holy Maiden doesn't seem to be as holy as she is in Zuojiazhuang, and she will occasionally joke. Especially looking at this fire wind phoenix's blushing and deflated appearance, she felt more and more interesting.
"My sister knows about my life experience, and I can't see this kind of trafficking in young /// children, let's go over and take a look, if Yang Chengzu can't save people, let's take action."
"Oh, I see, then I'm sure I'll support you. But I believe that Yang Chengzu will definitely be able to save people, don't you also say that he is not simple, where can this little thing not be done? ”
The Fire Wind Phoenix shook off its two sturdy long legs, and its big red bull leather boots stepped on the water, waving layers of waves. The White Lotus Holy Maiden shook her head behind her, silly sister, why did you fall in love with our opponent this time, it is destined to have no good results. Be careful to follow behind with an umbrella to keep your clothes from getting muddy and watery.
On the wharf, a small official ship was moored there, and the boatmen and sailors were all resting in the shelter on the wharf, and some people brought tea and large meat noodles. A middle-aged scribe in his forties said anxiously, "What's the matter?" Why are you all resting? Didn't you say you were going to sail the boat? At present, the Yellow River is rising, we can't afford to delay, if we miss the time, there is really a big flood, how to go. ”
His companions also spun around in a hurry, and from time to time shouted to the boatmen: "What's the matter with you, why do you say that you won't leave if you don't leave?" ”
"I'm sorry, Master Yan, without the Ninth Master, we can't move. The ninth master has an order, and there is a little problem with buying a maid, so the boat can't move. ”
"Ninth Master? Who is that, this official is the editor of the seventh grade of the Hanlin Academy, the official of the imperial court, don't you understand? The official asked you to hurry up and prepare to sail, and the one who went through the formalities, how to buy a maid is so troublesome, wait for the official to go over and see. ”
The scribe lifted the hem of his robe, and the chief entourage held an umbrella to protect him from the rain, and the two of them went to the tea shed next to the shelter. I saw that the gentleman in charge of making the deed was talking to a few big men, and on the other side, a middle-aged man with an obscene appearance was holding the hand of a ten-year-old girl.
The little girl had a double bun on her head, her bright eyes and bright teeth, and her skin was as white as snow, which made people feel pity at first sight. It's just that at this time, she sobbed and begged the man: "Uncle don't sell me, uncle don't sell me." Mei'e must be obedient, she must work more, can't she eat only two meals a day? ”
The lewd man was Jiao Rong, and the look on his face at this time was also very anxious, looking outside from time to time, and scolding the little girl: "Shut up! Uncle didn't let you speak, how dare you talk nonsense, it's all your sister who is used to you, and there are no rules. Remember, when you go to someone's house in the future, you have to understand the rules, otherwise, you will be beaten to death in vain, understand? ”
When he saw the scribe coming in, he hurriedly pulled the little girl forward and saluted, "Master Yan, look at what this is saying, I originally said that I would let you take people away after making a contract, but who knew that something happened here." They just wouldn't work, and I found a few people, but none of them wanted to write. Otherwise, you are a dignified Hanlin editor, let's make a deed ourselves, you just take people away, and we promise that we will not pursue it. ”
The scribe shook his head and said, "Mr. Jiao, this is unacceptable. However, Zhong is an official of the imperial court, so he naturally has to abide by the laws of the imperial court. Like this matter of buying a girl, if you don't go through the deed of people's teeth and report it to the government, you may be counted as an abduction for me in the future, why should this official bear this responsibility? You should ask them to sign the deed quickly, rather than let the official give it to you privately. ”
Although he is a small official of the seven-grade Hanlin editor, he belongs to the system of the Cilin Fang Bureau, and in the civil official system of the National Dynasty, he is second to none in terms of quality and nobility. It is a few points more noble than the official of the science and road, and it belongs to the clear stream of the clear stream.
But the problem is that the Qingliu officials do not hold real power, and they are admired in the court and the forest, but for these people in the market, they are far less lethal than a miscellaneous county magistrate and pro-people officials. The county officials are not as good as the current management, and the Hanlin can't control the people, so these coolies are not afraid of him.
The celebrity said: "I'm sorry, if you don't have the ninth master, you really can't make this deed." You wait there for a while, and when the Ninth Master says that you can make a deed, I will make it for you. If the ninth master doesn't let go, you can stay well, if you are thirsty, you can order your own tea to drink, and I will wait for you. ”
Jiao Rong said: "The silver I should give will not be less than the ninth master, why are you so grinding?" You weren't like that when I was working in the household. ”
"If you are a household now, we are not like this, and this is a ball? At our dock, it is the Ninth Master who has the final say, you should understand this rule. Sit well, don't move around. ”
At this moment, Jiao Rong glanced outside, suddenly his face changed, and he pulled Li Mei'e up and said, "If that's the case, can't I sell people?" Let's go home and act as if it hadn't happened. ”
Unexpectedly, the man's teeth also sank, "No!" On this rainy day, you have alarmed us all, saying that if you don't sell it, you won't sell it, is it a pastime for us? Sit down honestly for me, if you don't have the ninth master, you won't be allowed to leave this tea shed today! ”
