Half an hour later, the carriage marched to the west of the city.

"Miss Yan, the west of the city has arrived." Jiu An raised his voice to remind Gu Yanran in the carriage.

Gu Yanran lifted the small curtain on her side, wanting to see if there were any restaurants or restaurants she liked nearby.

Shiso also opened the small curtain on the other side, and looked out, and there happened to be a good place in sight.

"Girl." Zi Su turned around and called Gu Yanran, and then gave up his position. "Come and see, how is this?"

Gu Yanran came over when she heard this, and couldn't help but smile after seeing the three big characters inscribed on the plaque above the restaurant. "Hehe, visit your friend."

Isn't this the 'Visiting Friend Ji' that she said in front of Nangong Xuanyi that day that she missed the 'Fang You Halberd' and temporarily used it as a remedy?

In her previous life, although she knew about visiting Youji, she had never had the opportunity to taste the dishes of this family, and now she can come here in such an accidental way, which can be regarded as fate.

Since there is fate, today's lunch will be settled here.

When Gu Yanran sat in the private room of Yu Youji, and held a menu that introduced each dish in detail......

"This!?" Gu Yanran flipped through the menu in her hand, and after making sure that she couldn't see any new tricks, she looked at Xiao Er who was waiting not far away as if she was distracted. "Little Er, is your house a vegetarian restaurant?"

Xiao Er replied with a smile. "If you return to the guest officer, it's right that the small shop is a vegetarian restaurant."

"......" Gu Yanran was speechless for a while.

She always thought that visiting friends Ji was an ordinary restaurant, and it turned out that Ji ate a crispy and sweet duck.

I ate meat dishes at a place that only sells vegetarian food...... Oh my God, the more she thought about it, the more embarrassing it became.

## #翌日清晨, Slave City

Gu Yanran stood in front of a hidden alley and kept looking in. "Shisu, this is Slave City?"

"Yes." Shiso took out a silky veil from the small baggage she was carrying. "Come, girl, slave and maid put the veil on you."

Gu Yanran thought that this was another rule of the slave market. "Oh, good."

Zi Su carefully tied the veil for Gu Yanran. "The slave market is a mixed place, although this morning market is more regular than the evening market, but you still need to pay more attention, and it is at least safer to wear a veil."

"Don't we still have Jiu'an with us, it's definitely safe." Gu Yanran felt that Zisu's worries were completely superfluous.

Jiu An said very sincerely after listening to Gu Yanran's words. "Jiu'an will do his best to protect you and Zisu, but Jiu'an is not good at martial arts, only some three-legged cat kung fu, if he encounters a strong opponent, he can only delay for a moment at most. Therefore, if there is really a situation that Jiu'an can't cope with, please don't hesitate with Miss Yan and Zisu, and run away quickly. ”

"......" Gu Yanran.

"......" perilla.

Should they say that Jiu'an is reliable or unreliable?

……

……

At the entrance of the slave market, there stood an old man wearing a hat.

On the side of the old man, there was a half-person-high wooden sign that read, 'Enter the market for three taels of silver'.

"Three taels of silver to enter the market, do you mean that you have to give three taels of silver as an entrance fee?" Gu Yanran asked Zisu.

"Yes, girl." Zi Su looked at Gu Yanran, and took out a silver ingot from his purse and handed it to the old man. "Uncle, there are three people, you don't need to look for it."

There was a gentle smile on the old man's originally expressionless face. "I heard that the 'Qianqiu Pavilion' is doing a large-scale auction today, if the three of you are not in a hurry to leave, you can go over and have a look."

"Thank you, uncle, for reminding me." Shisu politely expressed his gratitude to the old man.

After the three of them entered the alley, they walked straight for a long distance and came to the corner of the alley.

"Turn the corner and you'll be on the main street of Nu City." Zi Su paused for a moment before turning to Gu Yanran. "Miss Yan, this slave market, to put it bluntly, is a place for buying and selling people.

The people who are sold here are partly voluntary, partly under duress.

When we go in, there's a good chance we'll see some people...... Selling his wife, sons, and daughters.

I hope you don't bother with unnecessary things, and can look at it with a normal heart. ”

Gu Yanran's heart couldn't help but be heavy. "Is there such a thing?"

"Although this kind of thing is unusual, it is extremely common in the slave market." Shisu said earnestly.

"Shisu, why do you know so much about the affairs of Nu City?" Gu Yanran had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

Shiso smiled. "Before the slave came to serve you, she was sold here by her father and mother, but fortunately, she was taken back to the Protector's Mansion by Steward Tang the next day."

"Ah, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that." Gu Yanran was remorseful.

"Miss Yan is too worried." Shiso has nothing to do with being sold back then. "If my father and mother hadn't sold me, I wouldn't have been able to enter the Protector's Mansion, nor would I have come to Miss Yan's side, let alone live so happily like I am now. If I really want to say it, I have to thank them for selling me. ”

Gu Yanran held Zisu's hand. "Of course it's best if you think so."

At this time, there was a commotion behind Gu Yanran and the other three.

"Be careful." Jiu'an quickly protected Gu Yanran and Zi Su into the corner.

And the commotion from far to near was heard more and more clearly.

"Hurry up, don't be slow, the auction of Qianqiu Pavilion is about to start."

"Look at your anxious appearance, is it possible that you have good goods today?"

"How do you say this, when did the auction of Qianqiu Pavilion run out of good goods?"

"Oh, I mean, the goods auctioned by Qianqiu Pavilion today are a little more outstanding than before."

"More outstanding...... Oh my God, it's hard to think about. ”

"People can't work hard, you have to make money, the auction prices of those good goods in Qianqiu Pavilion in the past...... It's not a decimal number. ”

"Don't worry, I've got enough tickets."

"Friend, you obviously have bad intentions."

"Before you talk about me, wipe the corner of your mouth clean, it looks weird and disgusting."

"Hey, hey, hey."

Several men chatted freely about the wind and snow, and then turned into the direction of the slave market.

Gu Yanran walked out from behind Jiu'an, her expression was indistinguishable. "Let's go, let's go to Qianqiu Pavilion to have a good time."

###千秋阁

After asking the court for some information, Jiu'an returned to Gu Yanran's side to pray. "Miss Yan, ask clearly, the auction has a stick of incense to start, but there are no seats in the hall, only two second-floor cubicles remain. However, the compartment on the second floor is more expensive, and you need to give 5,000 taels of silver as a refreshment fee. ”

Shiso was shocked by the price. "Five thousand silver?"

"Five thousand is five thousand, hurry up and book one, otherwise there will be no cubicle in a while." Gu Yanran took out a silver ticket and gave it to Jiu'an.

"Yes." Jiu'an took the silver ticket and went to the courtyard again.
