Chapter 175: Selling His Body to Bury His Father
Hearing what Xuan Ye said, Xu Tiantian naturally agreed with both hands. But it's really rare to see in a hundred years, and Xuan Ye actually took the initiative to take her out to play.
She was not born to be a lady, staying in this palace every day, and sooner or later she felt that she would become stupid.
Out of the palace, Xu Tiantian was like a bird that had been released out of the cage, and she looked very excited when she was chirping along the way, and from time to time she wanted to jump twice Xuanye grabbed her.
"Be careful, it's not very cold anymore, but it's already freezing on the ground, what if you fall? It will take 100 days to break your muscles and bones. β
If you accidentally fall, even if you wear it thickly, I'm afraid it will hurt a lot on the road.
Xu Tiantian nodded, turned his head and saw an old man carrying a large string of sugar gourds, and on the plump hawthorn stood the sugar that had thrown out the phoenix circle, which looked very appetizing, Xu Tiantian swallowed a mouthful of saliva and pointed at the old man.
"Xuanye, I want to eat sugar gourds, there are ones for sale there, you go and buy two for me."
As long as Xu Tiantian doesn't make any trouble, no matter what the other requirements are, Xuanye has always been satisfied.
took two strings of sugar gourds, Xu Tiantian held a string in one hand, looking at the new things on the street, in fact, it was just two things in the past, but she couldn't see enough.
"This girl is really pitiful, it's such a cold day, you see that something like this has happened again, this girl doesn't look big, how will she live in the future?"
Xuan Ye and Xu Tiantian were having fun, but suddenly they were blocked by a large group of people in front of them, Xu Tiantian has always been curious, and the sugar gourd that he finished eating threw away the skewer, and tightly pulled Xuan Ye's mobile phone into the crowd.
I saw a girl who was about the same age as Xu Tiantian kneeling on the ground, dressed in a thin filial piety dress, trembling, and her lips were frozen purple. There is also a big sign next to it, which reads "Sell yourself and bury your father".
Xu Tiantian shook her head, she often saw such a scene on TV, but it really happened in front of her eyes, and it was the first time she looked at the girl's watery eyes, and she looked like she was also smart.
With two twisted braids, probably due to long-term malnutrition, the hair looks a little yellow, and the body is still thin. It was as if a gentle gust of cold wind could blow her down.
The girl kneeling on the ground pursed her lips tightly, her eyes staring at the ground, I don't know if it was because of fear or because it was too cold, and her whole body couldn't stop shaking.
There were quite a few people in the crowd, and many of them were men in long robes and shirts.
"This girl is really filial! It's really a hard life, but it's in this stall. This is about to be Chinese New Year's Eve, and such a thing has happened at home, and it is also bad luck for people to think about it. β
Xu Tiantian looked at the age of this girl, and then walked back, and pulled Xuanye's sleeve in one step, there are many people here, and now she is combing the rich man's hair again, and it is better to be more restrained outside.
"Xianggong, this girl is so pitiful, why don't we give him a few taels of silver and let her do the rest first?"
This matter, she is a woman, no matter what people say, it will not be her turn, if you give something like silver, you naturally have to let Xuan Ye give it.
Otherwise, with so many people watching the excitement today, if she hadn't been a little bit, this people's spit would really have swallowed people to death. It is important to have a kind heart, but her life is even more important.
Since Xu Tiantian had already spoken, Xuan Ye naturally would not refuse to give it, not to mention that now they still did not lack these few taels of silver, so they took out ten silver cars from their cuffs and put them in front of the girl.
"My lady is kind in her heart, on such a cold day, I'm afraid that you will freeze your body, these ten taels of silver are given to you by my wife, you don't have to sell yourself or follow us to do anything, go back and bury your father first."
The girl originally thought that she was just going out to try her luck, and these people were pointing at a joke, but she didn't expect to really meet a good Samaritan, and raised her head and looked at Xuan Ye with a pair of eyes that helped me.
This boy was very good-looking, gentler than all the men she had ever seen. These people who knew that they were the eldest man at a glance at the clothes were just pointing and talking here for a long time, but no one said that they would give him a tael of silver, but this son was ten taels as soon as he made a move, which means that he also has a good family background.
This girl who sold herself to bury her father had already begun to make other calculations, and where had she noticed the so-called his wife in Xuan Ye's mouth.
picked up the silver and kowtowed a few times, and then looked at Xuan Ye with a sincere face, and there was a little light in his eyes that could not be concealed.
"Childe, no matter what, I want to repay Childe's kindness. The husband is not subject to the food that comes to me, and now that the son has solved my urgent need, I can make my father feel at ease under the nine springs, and I can't repay it. When my father finishes taking care of the funeral, I will definitely go to the prince's mansion to make cattle and horses to repay the kindness. β
Xuan Ye took a step back, not wanting to be contaminated with too much right and wrong. He is not a good person, and the reason why he decided to give this girl ten taels of silver was only because Xu Tiantian mentioned it.
"No need, I've already said it just now, this silver is not given by me, it's my lady's kindness, you say thank her if you want."
The girl fell in love with Xu Tiantian at this time, and then kowtowed a few more unequivocally, but there was a little reluctance in her words. "Thank you, sister, sister, for your great kindness, you will definitely repay in the future."
Xu Tiantian didn't notice it, but she just felt that she couldn't afford such a big gift. Then he stepped forward and helped her up, and the girl's hands were cold.
"Don't talk about that yet, bury your father."
After speaking, Xu Tiantian took Xuan Ye's hand and was about to leave the crowd, but the girl hurriedly chased after her and grabbed Xuan Ye's hand.
"I must keep in mind the great kindness of the childe, where is the son? After I bury my father, I will go on my own. β
Xuan Ye frowned, he didn't like others to approach him like this, and then quietly shook off his hand, and the girl almost fell to the ground.
Xu Tiantian turned around and saw Xuan Ye open a button, then softly tied it for him, and sorted out his clothes again.
"Little girl, these things are just a gesture for us, you don't have to take it to heart. What's more, we are not from here. Go back. β
This girl is really a solid-eyed girl. It's not an ordinary person who gave ten taels of silver for nothing, although he was grateful, but he didn't just take how far he ran with the silver, for fear that people would regret it and really let him her, but this girl was in a hurry. Probably because I took other people's money, I felt uncomfortable.
It's just that Xu Tiantian was still thinking like this one moment, and the next second Xu Tiantian immediately reacted to his own idea, which was simply a big mistake.
"I know that Childe is the son of a big family, and people like me, even being a maid for Childe is my blessing. Childe should not look down on me. But I can endure hardships, and I can do any rough and heavy work. No matter how bad it is, if Childe thinks that these are not enough, Childe can do whatever he wants. β
After that, he closed his eyes and squeezed out two tears, as if he was very reluctant, but he would definitely repay the favor anyway.
Xu Tiantian then understood, it turned out that what people were thinking about was not to hug her kindness, but the man in front of him, it was funny for a while, he had been in this place for so long, why was he still so naΓ―ve?
This girl's acting skills are not bad, the big girl and the little daughter-in-law on the side have been deceived, but even some old ladies are pointing at this girl on the side, she is really pitiful and can't help but complain twice.
"Childe, look at this girl, she is also a good girl, and she looks like a good girl. Since she gave him ten taels of silver, she also accepted it, then you have to let her accept it with peace of mind, this good person is not as good as you accept her. β
Xu Tiantian sneered, originally looking at this girl pitifully and wanting to give him ten taels of silver for nothing, but in the end, it was theirs.
"Yo, you guys are really joking, it's easy to say, it's not easy to do, when my father-in-law married me in a sedan chair, he swore a poisonous oath, and I am the only woman in this life. If he dares to take a concubine, he will be cut off from his children and grandchildren, isn't everyone looking forward to him having no queen? β
After Xuan Ye heard what Xu Tiantian said, he was stunned for a moment, and then he smirked. Xu Tiantian learned that although he sounded like he was taking it, he was honestly protecting him in and out of his words.
After Xu Tiantian's words were finished, everyone was surprised, and the husband in the family had three wives and four concubines.
"What do you say, girl? In public, such words were said, and a woman's family was not too shy. This man has three wives and four concubines, which is normal, if you ask you like this, you will really be a jealous woman. β
Xu Tiantian smiled lightly, feeling pathetic for the women of this era, she thinks that her status is low, and no matter how much others promote it, it will be useless.
"You're right, I'm a jealous woman. I'm a person who has always confessed to death. A lifetime and a couple, if he dares to bear me, I will really dare to let him cut off his children and grandchildren. β
Then he smiled, and with a star in his eyes, he walked softly into the girl who had betrayed her father, hooking her chin with one hand.
