"Have you heard, the Qingzhou Sima family sold this time, but unfortunately, I heard that it is still a Qing official." Someone whispered.

"What's the use of Qing officials, it's not a dismissal investigation, the most desolate Yiwu is assigned, and the whole family is a slave, no, they have all become official slaves, and now they are openly sold." A pot-bellied businessman said with a disdainful face.

"I heard that he has a son who is both beautiful in color and art, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, hehe~~~"

"Be quiet, the affairs of the official family, can we discuss, be careful of the lawsuit, just wait." An old man looked around and said in a low voice.

When everyone heard this, they were all silent, and they couldn't help but look around, for fear that there were secret agents nearby.

Liu Yuan couldn't help but ask: "Monkey Cheng, you are well-informed, do you know what this is all about?" ”

"The people who have a heart here about this matter all know about it" Monkey Cheng looked excited, put his hand in front of his mouth and lowered his voice and said: "Childe,

I heard that this is the case, when Zhao Guogong's nephew eldest grandson Shengwen passed through Qingzhou, Zhao Sima, who was in charge of hospitality, only served him coarse tea and light rice according to the routine, and strictly refused the request of the eldest grandson Shengwen to teach the courtesans of the priest to dance and serve. ”

Zhao Guogong is the eldest grandson Wuji, this is a bull, a loyal ally of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, a figure like a brother-in-law, and extremely prestigious in history, I didn't expect such a scum to appear among his relatives.

In response to the old saying: If the tree has dead branches, the family will be ruined.

Xiao Niang asked strangely: "There are usually a lot of officials and slaves, why are there so many people today?" ”

The Tang Dynasty had a huge team of officials, with more than 300 prefectures and more than 1,000 counties under its jurisdiction.

Monkey Cheng whispered: "The girl doesn't know, it's a little different today, it is said that according to Zhao Sima, there is a daughter under his knees, twenty-eight years old, cardamom years, looks Tingting Yuli, not only literate and hyphenation, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, textile embroidery are all fine, and they are also famous beauties in the local area, and now they are also used for sale, they must be eye-catching, in fact, listen carefully to know, many people here have Qingzhou accents. ”

Liu Yuan and Xiao Niang nodded, so it was.

The two chatted for a while, and then they heard someone shouting, "Coming, coming." ”

Everyone looked up, and sure enough, they saw a group of people tied into a string by ropes, some old and young, some men and women, crying and crying in the soldiers' scolding, scolding, step by step to the auction table, one of the women is the most eye-catching, tall, charming temperament, crying like pear blossoms with rain, walking like weak willows supporting the wind, really I see pity.

This must be the daughter of the former Qingzhou Sima in Hou Cheng's mouth, but I didn't expect that from the eldest lady of the Shangguan family to the official slave who was bullied, it was definitely a difference between cloud and mud.

"Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun~~"

As soon as the woman came out, there was a young man in the crowd, and suddenly he was going crazy while shouting and wanted to rush forward, the woman had been keeping her head down, her eyes were blank, and when she heard someone call her nickname, Pear Blossom Daili's little face suddenly rose, and at a glance I saw the boy who rushed forward, all of a sudden, and then a face of surprise:

"Chen Lang, Chen Lang, hurry, save me, save me~~"

These two must be lovers, I don't know if it's a matchmaker's words or a private engagement for life, but it's not bad, at least when this Xiaoyun was in trouble, this person named Chen Lang never abandoned her, and chased her from Qingzhou to Yangzhou, regardless of her slave status.

"Bang", just as the two approached, the soldier guarding the stage suddenly kicked out, kicked the son named Chen Lang off the stage at once, and yelled:

"What? This is the slave of the official family, you dare to move around? Don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword, if you want to hold your old lover, you can just use silver. ”

"Chen Lang~~~Chen~~~" That Xiaoyun saw that his sweetheart was kicked down, and he suddenly became nervous, but he couldn't stop screaming as soon as he screamed, because a soldier had already raised a horsewhip.

As soon as this whip came out, the slaves present immediately became speechless, and Xiaoyun's eyes were also full of horror, probably frightened by the whip.

"Xiaoyun, it's okay, I'm fine, you see, I'm jumping up and down now, there's nothing at all, don't worry, wait for me for a while, and soon we can go back to Qingzhou together." was kicked in the lower abdomen by the soldier all of a sudden, and it really hurt, but in order not to let Xiaoyun not worry, this Chen Gongzi was also bloody, stood up without saying a word, and forcibly endured to make Xiaoyun feel relieved.

The story is quite touching, and Chen Gongzi's performance is also good, but there are also people who don't appreciate it, and they talk to each other one by one.

"That is, if he doesn't sell it for a day, it's the property of the official family, and he is not afraid to rob it."

"It turned out to be an infatuated man."

"It's a pity, a good marriage broke up."

"I know that man, the son of Chen County Ling, Changhe County, under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou, I heard that the two are world friends, and that is the marriage of the belly, but I didn't expect Zhao Sima to provoke the official, alas, this time it will be suspended."

"Hmph, this guy, when I look at that palm, he is a poor master, I advise you not to be here, I take a fancy to that girl, I must take her home today and be my bed girl."

"You're the oldest, that's what I like."

"My fancy ~~"

The crowd soon became noisy, and just when everyone was arguing, an old woman wearing a flower dress with a big mole on the corner of her mouth, like a big matchmaker, walked to the stage with a smile and said to everyone: "Everyone, it is estimated that many of you here know me, I am Deacon Liu of the Teaching Workshop, and today, I will deal with these officials and slaves." ”

"Deacon Liu, let's start quickly."

"It's like, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Really, you didn't notify me of such a good product, and I almost missed it."

Now there are many people in the audience who still know that Deacon Liu, and they are chatting with her like acquaintances.

Deacon Liu grinned, showing two big teeth, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's talk about it later, I know that everyone is here for this woman, let me introduce, this official slave was originally surnamed Zhao, named Ziyun, twenty-six years old, literate and hyphenated, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, embroidery needle and paper, all fine, is a rare good slave, up to now, has not budded, I won't say much, it is estimated that many people have her information, we will start now." ”

"This Zhao Ziyun will start the auction now, the price starts at ten taels, and the price increase shall not be less than one tael each time, and the one with the highest price will win."

Isn't this equal to the auction of the auction house?

Ten taels of auctions, ten taels, you may be able to buy a high-quality, glamorous Silla maid.

As soon as the words fell, Chen Lang, who came all the way from Qingzhou, immediately shouted: "I'll give ten taels." ”

If you can exchange ten taels of silver for the woman you love, it is definitely worth it, but the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

"Twenty taels!" A rich man stared at the pear blossom with rain on the stage, and without hesitation, he doubled it all at once.

With a sound of "brush", a rich and noble son of a merry party suddenly opened the gold-painted paper fan in his hand, and said indifferently: "My fair lady, good gentleman, such a beautiful woman, worthy of it, I will pay fifty taels." ”

What, fifty taels? Is this man crazy?

A sturdy slave is only three to five taels of silver, and a beautiful Silla maid is only ten taels of silver, fifty taels, so you can buy five beautiful Silla maids or more than ten slaves, but this son did not hesitate to call out.

In his eyes, a huge sum of fifty taels is like spending five cents to buy a big meat bun on the street.

At first glance, he is the son of a rich family.

Many people who were originally interested in things suddenly withdrew from the competition and withdrew from the competition.

Just kidding, it's just to open a bud for a Qingqi person, it's only ten taels of silver, fifty taels, you can be an uncle five times, you can break melons for five beautiful and lovely Qingqi people, why buy this kind of daughter The eldest lady went back, look at her ten fingers don't touch the spring water, it is estimated that it is just to vent, and nothing else can be done, it is not worth it.

"Fifty-two taels." The rich man hesitated, looked at his pocket, and then looked at the charming former official lady on the stage, gritted his teeth, and added two taels again.

Although his family is rich, he can only take commoner women, if he presses a beautiful woman like Zhao Ziyun on his body, then he will not live in vain in his life.

"Sixty taels." That Chen Lang obviously came prepared, hesitated for a moment, and immediately quoted another price.

"Isn't it just an official slave? What's the big deal, hmph, let it be given to you, sixty taels, it's enough for me to find the Oiran of Lichun Temple, madman, I won't play with you. Although the corners of his mouth were still drooling, the rich man did not have a fever, and as soon as he saw sixty silver, he immediately wisely chose to withdraw.

There's no need to fight for this woman.

After the rich man left, there was silence all around, and Zhao Ziyun on the stage looked surprised, she really didn't expect that her sweetheart would come out with sixty taels of silver to redeem herself, this money, it is estimated that it will be taken out, and the Chen family will have to tighten their pants for a while.

"Chen Lang~~~" Zhao Ziyun on the stage muttered, his eyes were confused.

"Hey~~ Interesting, eighty taels!" The rich and noble son snorted coldly, and at the moment when everyone thought that the two young people could be together again, and they were about to applaud, the sound of "eighty taels" suddenly silenced everyone, but I didn't expect that it was sixty taels, and this noble son could still bid, and it was as much as twenty taels more.

This financial strength is either a family or a big salt merchant and the like.

The woman on the stage changed her face all of a sudden, and turned her head to look at the noble son, her eyes were full of pleading, but the noble boy responded coldly, with a strange light flashing in his eyes, and he was still shaking the paper fan very chicly, as if he was determined to win.

The little lady whispered on the side: "Hmph, the gentleman has the beauty of an adult, this person is too hateful." ”

"My aunt, be quiet" Monkey Cheng was startled, and quickly explained: "Do you know who he is?" The pearl of the president of Yangzhou Jewelry Association, the young master of the Jin family, one of his aunts, that is the proprietress of Jin Supreme, the largest gold store in Beijing, with all the means, rich and rivaling the country. ”
