Chapter 4 Saving Lives
The next day, after breakfast.
Qingyi said to Su Yingjiu: "Miss, a few days ago, Miss Lu asked you to go to Lu Mansion to play with her today." "
"Miss Lu? Which Miss Lu family? Su Yingjiu wondered.
"It's your close friend, Miss Lu of the Jingzhao Yin family, Lu Yuwei." Tsing Yi explained.
Rain? She is also called Lu Yuwei, is it a coincidence? Maybe we'll find out when we see it. Su Yingjiu thought suspiciously.
"Oh, that's it, then I'll go and talk to my mother, let's go quickly, don't let the beauty wait for a long time." Su Yingjiu said with a smile.
Tsui Ya Temple. Mrs. Su was embroidering a delicate handkerchief in the room, and a few cherry blossoms on the handkerchief were vividly embroidered.
Su Yingjiu saw Mrs. Su who was showing off her handkerchief and said: "My mother's embroidery is really beautiful, but if my mother wants to send someone to buy a handkerchief, or find an embroiderer, why do you need to do this hard work yourself?" ”
"Silly girl, my mother's handkerchief is not embroidered for herself, but for wine and wine, you see that your favorite cherry blossoms are embroidered on it." Mrs. Su said with a smile.
Su Yingjiu was moved when she heard this: "My mother is so good, I love you, Mo Mo Da~." ”
"Wine, what do you mean?"
"Hee-hee, mother-in-law, that's what I mean by loving you.
By the way, mother, Miss Lu asked her daughter to go to her house to play, and her daughter is here to tell you that she may come back later. ”
"Let's go, go out for a walk, it's good to relax, and my mother can drink and drink." Mrs. Su said with a doting smile.
"Rock sugar gourd, sweet and sour rock sugar gourd......"
"Steamed buns, freshly baked steamed buns......"
"Rouge gouache, good rouge gouache, take a look at it......"
……
All kinds of shouting and selling on the streets of the lively capital came and went, and Su Yingjiu pulled the green shirt to look east and west, just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden. One will buy this, and the next will buy that.
After a while, Su Yingjiu held a sugar gourd in his right hand, a bun in his left hand, and a pastry in his mouth, and the green shirt following behind him also took a lot of food in his hand, all of which were bought by Su Yingjiu.
Su Yingjiu said while eating: "Qingshan, you're welcome, you can eat too, eat as you like, you're welcome, it's all your own family." ”
Walking and walking, Su Yingjiu suddenly found a large circle of people in front of him, "Qingshan, let's go, let's go and see what's going on in front of us." ”
"But Miss, Miss Lu is waiting for you." Tsing Yi said tangledly.
Driven by curiosity, Su Yingjiu stuffed the rest of the buns into her mouth in one gulp, and said inarticulately: "It's okay, just take a look, take a look and we'll leave." ”
When Su Yingjiu walked to the front, he saw that this circle of people was surrounding a platform, there were several iron cages on the platform, and there were two people in each cage, both of whom were thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys and girls.
At this time, their clothes were ragged, the scars of being whipped were faintly visible, and their original appearance could not be seen clearly on their dirty faces, and all they had was left with a helpless look of pleading in their eyes.
It turns out that this is a slave trade.
"Everyone, come and take a look, good slaves, make sure that they are all strong and workable, because this is our last batch of slaves, so we sell them at a low price, five taels of silver for a male slave, and four taels of silver for a female slave." The slave seller on the stage said hard.
As the able-bodied slaves in the cage were bought one after another, in the end, only a thin teenager remained.
The boss was afraid that this last slave might not be sold, "Everyone, this last slave only needs three taels of silver, and after selling this last one, we will call it a day and go home." ”
The boy listened to the boss's words and thought to himself that he was going to become the one who couldn't sell again, and when he went back, he not only couldn't eat enough, but he would often be beaten.
Thinking of this, the boy looked at the crowd with hopeful eyes, hoping that someone would buy him.
When his eyes met Su Yingjiu's gaze, Su Yingjiu didn't know what to think, and immediately wanted to save him.
"Boss, I bought this last slave, this is silver, for you."
"Okay, this young lady, then he is yours now, once paid, it will not be returned." The boss with a full face said treacherously.
The young man couldn't believe his ears, and stared at Su Yingjiu in surprise, for fear that he would hallucinate.
No one knew that this scene happened to be seen by the man in the private room on the second floor of the restaurant. The man was looking at the scene downstairs with relish.
"Baili, what are you looking at, so fascinated by it?" Baili Yifeng was dressed in red, and Jin Mancheng, who had a handsome face, said with a yuppie said.
Jin Mancheng, the second prince of the Daoli Kingdom, has a very good relationship with Baili Yifeng.
Different from Baili Yifeng wearing a white dress like a fairy, the beauty of Baili Yifeng is a beauty that is not touching the mortal dust, while Jin Mancheng is a bewitching beauty in red, and the beauty of Jin Mancheng is a bewitching beauty.
"Holy Lord, Miss Su has already gone away." Liuyu on the side reminded.
"Ahem, cough, this girl didn't expect to be young, eccentric, and kind-hearted." Baili Yifeng smiled awkwardly and said.
Jin Mancheng on the side covered his heart with his hands and pretended to be surprised, and said: "Tut-tut, Baili, you won't fall in love with other people's little girls, you are really an old cow who eats tender grass and can eat it." ”
Baili leaned on the wind, but shook the folding fan in his hand and smiled without saying a word.
The boy followed Su Yingjiu for a while, and Su Yingjiu suddenly turned around and looked at the young man.
"I don't know why I want to save you, you just treat me as a good deed, in fact, there is no shortage of slaves and servants in our family, so you better go and find your family, Tsing Yi, and give him the rest of the food and silver."
The young man stared at Su Yingjiu's beautiful little face, as if he wanted to remember Su Yingjiu's appearance deeply in his mind, stared at it for a while and said slowly: "What's your name?" ”
Su Yingjiu said without thinking: "Su Yingjiu." ”
The young man's dark eyes flashed and said, "I'll remember it well." ”
After speaking, the young man suddenly stuffed a ring in Su Yingjiu's hand, and ran away without looking back with what Su Yingjiu asked Qingshan to give him.
Su Yingjiu didn't think much about it, and looked at the ring with a strange pattern in his hand, not to mention, it was quite good-looking, so he put it on his hand by the way.
"Miss, that's what you said, just take a look, buy a slave, and finally let them go.
Let's hurry up and go to Lu's mansion, otherwise Miss Lu will be in a hurry. Tsing Yi said anxiously.
At this time, Su Yingjiu smiled awkwardly: "Well, let's go." ”
On the way, Su Yingjiu was very happy, and felt that he had done a great deed, the so-called saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, although it is not to save the life of that young man, but it is almost the same.
While walking, Su Yingjiu thought in his heart that he had never done such a good thing in modern times, and he didn't dare to help his grandmother when he fell, for fear that people would touch porcelain.
