Chapter 54: Why don't you be a horse boy for me?
Behind the wooden platform stood eight big men, the same guards who had guarded the four pillars before, and they were pulling two hemp ropes in their hands, one of which had been broken.
Ye Leyu then understood, it turned out that it was these eight people who really worked hard, and Xianyu Zhenren was only assisting in front, if she could really carry such a large wooden platform by herself, it would be strange if she was not a demon.
"W-what's going on?"
Ye Le Jincha couldn't help but scream, these eight big men were pulling ropes in their hands, obviously prepared, could it be that this wooden platform was manipulated by someone, in order to prevent the thirteen princesses from winning?
"Come here!"
General Xin kept a calm face and beckoned to the eight people.
"What's going on?"
"Lord Qiqi, the little one doesn't know what's going on."
First, a big man bowed down in the tunnel.
"Nonsense, don't you have the rope in your hand prepared in advance!"
"No, General, in order to facilitate the dismantling of this high platform, only four wooden stakes are used, each of which is tied with a rope sleeve, just now we only caught two in a hurry, I don't believe you can verify it!"
Someone walked over and found that there was indeed a rope sleeve on the unbroken stake, and he only needed to pull one end.
The thirteenth princess glared at Yue'er, suddenly rolled her eyes, pointed at her and said, "Very good, little Oiran, this princess has taken a fancy to you!" ”
Yue'er was stunned and didn't understand what it meant.
The Thirteen Princesses giggled.
"That day, I asked your uncle emperor, and he promised me, let this princess choose a well-behaved and sensible slave in Daqing, and now I have chosen, that is you!"
"What?"
Yue'er was taken aback, if she fell into the hands of the thirteenth princess, she was afraid that she would have endless suffering, and besides, if she went to Fanwai, how could the grievances of the Ran family be revealed.
General Xin hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness the princess, don't misunderstand, the emperor promised to find you a horse boy, not let the little oiran be a horse boy for you." ”
"The little Oiran of Dawei leads the horse to this princess, and she has a lot of face, anyway, she is a slave, how I use it is my business!"
General Xin was angry in his heart, this competition was not easy to win, if the little Oiran was allowed to go to the big bird country to be a horse boy, then what was the point of winning?
Ye Le laughed, I didn't expect the thirteenth sister to be so witty, this condition is very harsh, Emperor Xuanling Chrysostom said that he can't regret it because of a slave.
Wang Niang suddenly showed a heartache, others want to dig Yue'er, and it is okay to pay a high price, the emperor asked her if she dared to obey, it was a matter of losing her head, and Yue'er's identity was indeed a slave.
Yue'er shook her head resolutely and said, "No, I don't agree." ”
The thirteenth princess sneered: "It doesn't matter if you don't agree, just promise the Frost Leaf Pavilion, don't worry, come with me, this princess will definitely not treat you badly!" ”
Someone suddenly laughed in the crowd.
"Oiran can't go with you!"
This voice was very familiar, Yue'er was surprised, and shouted: "Master Cao! ”
I saw a young man in Tsing Yi walking out, this young man with red lips and white teeth, and a face like a crown of jade, it was Cao Gongzi.
Cao Gongzi is now dressed as an ordinary person, and he doesn't wear a hat on his head, but he wears a square scarf.
The thirteenth princess looked at Cao Gongzi, and her eyes shone again.
"Oh, you really came to see my competition, very good, you have to take the place of the little Oiran to lead the horse for the princess, if so, I can consider it!"
"If Her Royal Highness the princess really lacks a horse boy who leads the horse, he can help find it, but the little Oiran can't!"
"Oh, why is that?"
"Because the little Oiran has been favored by this son."
As soon as these words came out, Yue'er looked up in amazement, and her heart jumped suddenly.
The thirteenth princess's face suddenly changed and turned red, and she was very angry.
"What do you fancy about her!"
"Her Royal Highness the princess knows who Fan Kuan is, and why did he paint "Sitting Alone in Linxi"?"
"I don't know, I want to know what he's doing!"
"Then Childe can't explain it to you."
When Yue'er heard Cao Gongzi say this, she felt that she should breathe a sigh of relief, but her heart was a little blocked.
"No matter how you explain it, it won't work, this princess just wants this little Oiran to lead the horse for me!"
Cao Gongzi didn't bother to pay attention to the thirteenth princess, and said to Wang Niang: "Is Miss Yue'er's identity a slave or a lowly status?" ”
Wang Niang hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute.
"Young Master Cao, Miss Yue'er's current status is a slave for the time being."
Cao Gongzi nodded and said, "You and I will go to the household department tomorrow with Miss Yue'er's slave status, and this son will give her a guarantee for promotion." ”
Yue'er's slavery is a Baihuaban to help her spend money to buy, there is really no such person, this is Yue'er's biggest worry, handling the promotion is not only about spending money, in addition to the owner's wishes, but also the relevant proof of the person who is promoted, once the people in the household department verify, they will inevitably find that there is a fake, then she will be in big trouble.
Wang Niang shook again and again, and said, "Thank you Cao Gongzi, thank you Cao Gongzi!" She knew it clearly in her heart, even if Gongzi Cao helped Yue'er change her identity, it was only a small amount of money spent on Yue'er, and if she wanted to take her out of the cabinet, she would have to wait at least two years.
Yue'er wanted to refuse, but how to speak at this time.
The thirteenth princess didn't know what they were talking about, but she understood that Cao Gongzi must be trying to find a way to make Yue'er change her identity and not let her take her away.
"General Xin, can you tell me what's going on with your Daxun's slavery?"
"Your Royal Highness Princess, in our Da Wei, slave and lowly people can be transferred and traded, but those who voluntarily sell themselves as slaves are different, they may have a time limit, and after the time limit, they will naturally lift the slave contract and restore their freedom, now Yue'er's identity has not been confirmed, if she is a slave who sells herself as a slave, I don't agree, you can't take her away."
General Xin explained for a long time, and the thirteenth princess understood a little, it turned out that in Dawei, in addition to official slaves, other slaves had to be bought as attendants, and there were two kinds.
One is that after the sinners, they are not allowed to be promoted, but can only be driven by others for the rest of their lives, and there is also the ordinary people who sell themselves into slavery, and such slaves can also be bought and sold and gifted, but they must agree to it, and if they do not agree, the original master will continue to drive or return her freedom.
The thirteenth princess felt that the Son of Heaven promised herself, just like the little Oiran given by the emperor, half of it was to make her happy, not to ask for whoever she wanted.
"Oh, what kind of slave is that little Oiran?"
The thirteenth princess asked.
Wang Niang hurriedly said: "My family Yue'er is not an official slave, otherwise how could she enter our Frost Leaf Pavilion." ”
Yue'er panicked in her heart, she would never be able to go to the household department to check the slave status, once it was found out, the Baihua class would also be affected by her.
Ye Le Yu and Ye Le Jincha also showed disappointment on their faces, but the thirteen princesses still didn't give up.
"Okay, but this princess will enter the palace in the afternoon to ask to see the emperor, and ask you Dawei Tianzi, what he said, does it count!"
"Please."
The thirteenth princess snorted, and looked arrogant again.
"Cao Gongzi, don't get complacent too early, I, Xiao Ricuo, swear here, the person I fancy will never escape from me!"
Cao Gongzi smiled coldly.
Seeing that the trouble here was over, General Xin turned his head sharply and shouted, "I wish my mother, I wish my mother-"
Today's competition is completely arranged by Sansheng Pavilion, and if there is a mess, of course I have to find Mother-in-law Zhu.
But General Xin called twice, but no one answered.
Everyone was wondering, and suddenly heard Murong Qi'er shouting: "Zhu Mom, Zhu Mom, you, what are you doing?" ”
Only then did everyone see that on the grass on one side, Murong Qi'er was holding an old woman in pink and panicked.
Wang Niang and the others immediately rushed forward, only to see a wisp of black blood overflowing from the corner of Granny Zhu's mouth, her eyes were scattered, and it seemed that she was about to die.
Yue'er stood behind Wang Niang, and when Granny Zhu saw her, her eyes suddenly flashed, and she reluctantly raised her hand and pointed at Yue'er and said, "Little Oiran, come here, the old body wants to tell you a secret!" ”
Yue'er hesitated for a moment, she had nothing to do with this old witch, but for her sake, she still walked over.
Mother-in-law Zhu put it next to Yue'er's ear, and said in a cold voice: "Yes, you ruined everything for me, if I leave, someone will come to settle accounts with you, and your end will be extremely miserable!" ”
