Seeing her laughing, Mrs. Song also smiled.

"I wonder where the girl's house is? Can you tell me, lest my wife have nowhere to find it next time? ”

Lin Meiyi opened the money bag and took a look, ninety taels of silver, Mrs. Xu is really generous.

"Mrs. Song, you don't need to know where my home is, if you need it next time, go to the embroidery workshop to find the shopkeeper Qiu, and she will tell me." Lin Meiyi said with a smile.

When Mrs. Song heard this, she didn't need to know where her house was, so she smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll go directly to the embroidery workshop next time I look for you." ”

"Hmm." Lin Meiyi nodded and turned to leave.

Mrs. Song watched her walk away, and then closed the back door.

Coming out of Xu's mansion, Lin Meiyi went straight to the street of the weaving workshop, ready to buy some more raw materials and go back to make her own cloth.

But she may have been late, and she only bought a basket of silkworm cocoons all over the street, and she didn't see it at all, but she accidentally got a batch of cotton threads of different thicknesses, which should be disabled by the children in the family, a total of three catties, and Lin Meiyi bought it for three taels of silver.

Lin Meiyi was a little sorry that she only spent five taels of silver on this street, but there was a lot of randomness in buying materials, and it was good that she didn't leave empty-handed today.

Leaving Textile Street and coming to the crowded street, Lin Meiyi's stomach growled, and she realized that she didn't seem to have eaten lunch yet.

It happened that there was a noodle shop on the street that seemed to be doing very well, so Lin Meiyi found a vacant seat, ordered a bowl of noodles, and pondered what to buy for a while while eating.

The folk customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty are relatively open, but there are very few women who eat out alone, and Lin Meiyi looks out of place among the women who are accompanied by their families or subordinates.

Fortunately, in broad daylight, there are no bad scenes in film and television dramas.

While eating, there was a sudden commotion on the street, and the guests in the restaurant looked curiously towards the window, and saw a group of seven or eight ragged people, all held together by a rope, escorted by several strong men with meaty faces, passing in front of the noodle restaurant.

This is not a common sight in the city, especially among the few people who are being held together, and there are a few foreign faces.

The big guys didn't eat at once, and they all gathered around the window to watch the excitement.

Lin Meiyi was sitting by the window, and several women came over at this time, and she couldn't eat this side, so she had to follow everyone to look out.

Among the group, the leader was a middle-aged man in a silk shirt, who seemed to be the steward of the group. He held a long whip in his hand, and if someone walked slowly, he would shake his hand with a whip, which would make his legs tremble and howl and he would not dare to stop, but should speed up his pace.

"Who are these people?" Beside them, there were women who hid their faces and asked in a low voice, they were a little frightened by the man who was in charge.

Soon, the man in charge told everyone who the ragged men behind him were.

A group stopped at the corner of the street, and the eight people who were led together were like livestock, all kneeling down, and those who were unwilling to kneel came forward to "help", anyway, after some tossing, these eight people were all half-lying on the ground, with their heads lowered.

"All heads up!" The steward shouted.

The eight people didn't want to suffer any more, so they obediently raised their heads, although their faces were full of messy hair, but the big guy still clearly saw that these eight people looked different from them.

The eyebrows are high, the facial features are deep, and the hair color is not pure black, but yellow-brown, and it is a foreigner!

Seeing that the big guys all showed curious looks, the steward said with a cold face: "These eight slaves are all alien slaves I brought back from the border pass, tall and strong, and they all have filing documents in the government, and they can buy and sell by themselves. ”

After saying this, the person in charge stopped talking, sat down on the chair arranged by his subordinates, handed the whip to his subordinates, took out his own cigarette gun, and smoked it leisurely.

When everyone saw this, they suddenly realized that this person was a slave trader, no wonder he was so arrogant.

In these days, it is not easy for people to get alien slaves from the border gates.

The mere fact that he has proper government documents is already a big cut above the average slave trader. You must know that in today's world, many traffickers sell slaves without the documents issued by the government, and if you sell such slaves, you can only consider yourself unlucky if you run away halfway, and it is good luck to chase them back, and if you can't recover them, you will lose money.

Lin Meiyi noticed that there were a few richly dressed people in the noodle shop who were about to move, but before they could act, a small accident happened.

While the steward was not paying attention, one of the slaves somehow suddenly broke free from the leash in his hand, and suddenly broke over two strong men, trying to run away.

It's a pity that they didn't wait for him to run out two steps before they were caught.

The man in charge was very angry, and when he saw that these alien slaves were so disobedient, he was afraid that something would happen again, so he directly put iron shackles on the eight people, and picked up the whip again, and beat the escaped slave half to death.

The scene was too bloody, and the women in the noodle shop all turned their backs, closed their eyes, and the timid ones hurriedly left the place.

"Stop! If someone dies, I'll make you look good! ”

Just as the runaway slave was about to be killed, a scream suddenly sounded, interrupting the steward who was about to shake the whip.

Lin Meiyi saw a spherical creature dangling in front of her, and when she raised her eyes again, the ball had already arrived in front of Steward Zhu, snatched the whip from his hand, and threw it directly on the ground.

"Where did you come from, a fat girl who doesn't know what to do, dare to take care of Zhu Ye's affairs, don't you want to die!" Two strong men surrounded him, looking vicious.

The chubby girl looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, but she was not afraid at all, but the girl dressed as a maid beside her shook her body with fright.

But even so, she still dared to loudly reprimand the two big men: "Presumptuous! Do you know who my young lady is? You dare to touch the young lady of the county order, don't you want to live? Do you dare to touch a finger of my young lady? ”

Hearing the maid's words, the chubby young lady straightened her chest, but unfortunately her flesh was white and white, and she didn't look majestic at all.

But she is not majestic, her father has, and when Steward Zhu heard that it was the young lady of the county order, he hurriedly left the slave and came forward to see, okay, it's true.

After all, the appearance of Yang Qingqing, the county lady, is so easy to recognize, and a fat girl like her is rare in the entire Lu County.

So, he raised his hand and slapped the two subordinates, "Two bastards, you don't know Taishan, don't apologize to Miss Yang soon!" ”

When the two strong men heard that it was actually the real county lady, they were so frightened that they knelt down directly, and hurriedly kowtowed and kept apologizing.
