The little boy was only nine or ten years old, and when he was frightened by Liang Jingxian, he 'revealed' a timid look, but his eyes were very persistently locked on Gu Zheng, and the expectation and prayer in his eyes made Gu Zheng unable to ignore: "Cousin Liang, don't scare him, listen to him first, tell him what is going on, and if we can help, we will reach out to help him." ”

The shopkeeper standing on the side saw the boy rushing out to stop Gu Zheng and the others, and his face was a little wrong, and when he heard Gu Zheng say that he wanted to help, he immediately hurriedly picked up: "It's okay, it's okay, this kid is talking nonsense!" Don't listen to him, he has not found a seller for a long time, and his 'sexuality' has been learned by Renyazi to be cunning! ”

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he directly raised his foot and kicked the boy's 'chest' fiercely, and scolded with a bit of threat: "You still won't let me get in?" After speaking, he shouted at the inner hall: "You still haven't come out yet, drag him in for me to discipline well!" Something that has no rules rushes out like this and collides with distinguished guests, it really deserves to be beaten! ”

The shopkeeper's words made the boy look afraid, and subconsciously reached out to grab the corner of Gu Zheng's skirt, and begged bitterly: "Please save the villain's sister!" They didn't buy people back to summon them at all, they wanted to take people's 'lives' to go to the sacrifice kiln! If they hadn't taken the 'lives' of the villain's brother and sister for no reason, the villain wouldn't have risked his life and ran out to beg the nobleman for help......"

The county lord of Mingyue has always liked to fight grievances, but now when he heard the boy say that the shopkeeper wanted to take the lives of their brother and sister for no reason, he immediately took a step forward with righteous indignation, blocking the shopkeeper and preventing him from dragging the boy away: "The county lord really wants to know what is going on?!" ”

"County Lord, this ......"

The shopkeeper didn't dare to say the matter directly, Gu Zheng saw it and directly grabbed the most critical word and asked: "What is a sacrificial kiln?" ”

Gu Feng and the others looked at each other and didn't know, only Liang Jingxian spoke up to solve Gu Zheng's doubts: "This has something to do with the kiln change we said earlier......

Originally, the so-called 'kiln change' refers to some strange porcelain that appears due to accidental factors in the process of porcelain firing. These bizarre porcelains can also be called mutant porcelain——— that is, the floating shadows on the porcelain are completely not controlled by people, but are formed spontaneously by the porcelain!

The porcelain produced by the kiln is a naturally formed phenomenon, and no one knows how it is formed, so such porcelain is often very precious and rare, and one or two will be sent to the palace as a rare tribute by the world, and only those dignitaries may collect one or two at home.

Later, a strange method came out from there, saying that as long as the kiln was first opened, one boy and one girl, the blood of each child was taken alive and sacrificed to the kiln, and the blood of the "essence" was condensed in the kiln, so that the porcelain fired in the kiln could be changed.

This method is impossible to study, but some profit-seeking merchants would rather believe it, and in order to be able to fire the rare porcelain that has been changed into the kiln, they really buy the children' and the children' from the hands of the people's teeth, and use their blood to sacrifice the kiln to pave the way for themselves!

As soon as Gu Zheng listened to Liang Jingxian's explanation, he immediately understood what the boy meant by what he said earlier, and he was immediately full of contempt for the groveling shopkeeper, and he was even more angry at his reckless action of disregarding human life: "The shopkeeper actually treats human life as a mustard for such nonsense?!" Dare to ask the shopkeeper, did you really take the blood of the brothers and sisters to sacrifice to the kiln, and you will definitely get the rare porcelain conjured up in the kiln? ”

"This ...... This ......"

This method is not absolutely effective, and the shopkeeper is also because he does not take the 'sexual' life of those servants and maids in his eyes, so he will have the intention of buying two people to try it at random and not succeeding to see the will of God. And the shopkeeper's plan can be described as exterminating human 'nature' and very cruel, he didn't dare to answer Gu Zheng's question honestly, but kept wiping the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, and the other 'Meng' and 'mixed' past.

Gu Zheng despised the shopkeeper more and more when she saw it, and since the matter happened to happen to her, she couldn't watch the two brothers and sisters being sent to the sacrificial kiln——— what is the difference between this and sending the living to be burned alive in the incinerator of the crematorium?! Such an extinction of human 'nature', Gu Zheng felt that he had to stop it!

So Gu Zheng decided to play the role of a bullying evil 'girl', and then pulled the banner of the county lord of Mingyue, and coldly threatened the shopkeeper: "This child and his sister are taken by our county lord, do you sell the shopkeeper or not?" ”

Only then did the county lord of Mingyue come to his senses, and glanced at Gu Zheng dissatisfiedly: "You rushed to finish everything I wanted to say, so what else can I say?" I can't be a good person and do good deeds to rob you of them all, and I have to do my part! ”

After speaking, the county lord of Mingyue grabbed a handful of copper plates from his purse, and threw them directly on the ground without looking at them, pretending to be rude and domineering to oppress the shopkeeper: "This money is enough to buy their brother and sister, right?" If it is not enough, the father of the lord of this county will come over to make up for it in person one day! ”

Those copper plates are enough to buy two baked cakes, how can they buy two big living people?

This Mingyue county lord made it clear that he wanted to bully the weak and oppress people with the identity of the county lord, but the oppressed shopkeeper didn't dare to complain——— how could he dare to bother the famous King Yu himself?

He didn't dare to accept the hot money given to him by King Yu!

So the shopkeeper could only pick up the copper plates on the ground with a stiff smile, and accompany the smiling face to do a loss-making business: "Enough, enough, this money is enough to buy their brother and sister, the villain will take his sister out and 'hand' it over to the county lord, please wait a while......

The shopkeeper soon hugged a little 'girl' child who was unconscious and came out, and the boy who came out to ask for help before saw that the little 'girl' child didn't seem to wake up no matter how he 'got' to 'get', and his eyes immediately turned red, and it looked like he should be a brother who was very distressed about his sister, so Gu Feng immediately felt the same way, and took the initiative to instruct the little guy behind him, Chuanbei: "Take them to the hospital to find a doctor to have a good look, and then look for us in the Yellow Crane Tower." ”

Gu Zheng and the county lord of Mingyue nodded again and again after hearing this, and the county lord of Mingyue also praised Gu Feng: "It's still Cousin Cen who thinks thoughtfully!" ”

Liang Jingxian, who was on the side, saw that the two little girls who had done good deeds were only happy as soon as they got someone, so he could only come forward to do what they had forgotten for them: "The shopkeeper seems to have given us one less thing." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly presented the deed of sale of the brother and sister, Liang Jingxian did not answer, and directly instructed Taqing to lead the shopkeeper to the ya'men to run away, and changed the name of the owner on the deed of sale to Gu Zheng, and after the change, he directly handed the deed of sale to Gu Zheng: "You saved the person, then they can only follow you in the future." ”

"Follow me?"

Gu Zheng was only thinking about saving people before, and he didn't think about how to place them!

Besides, you can't let them follow her back to Cen's house, right?

Liang Jingxian seemed to see through Gu Zheng's thoughts at a glance, and without waiting for Gu Zheng to say the difficulty, he took the initiative to take care of the matter: "You can let them go to Baoqing Yinlou to run 'errands' for the time being, and then let them go when you have a place to place them," he glanced at Gu Zheng meaningfully and said: "You are also their life-saving benefactor, that kid looks good, as long as you adjust it a little, you will definitely be able to use it in the future." ”

Gu Zheng couldn't think of a better way, so he accepted Liang Jingxian's proposal, and temporarily placed the rescued pair of brothers and sisters in Baoqing Silver Building to do chores, anyway, she is now an important high-level in Baoqing Silver Building, and it should be a trivial matter to 'insert' two related households.

…………

In a blink of an eye, Mrs. Tai's birthday came, and the people up and down the Cen family became more and more busy, first of all, they had to write a list of guests for the banquet, and after the list was determined, they had to write posts, send posts, clean and arrange the attic courtyard and other places, and also reserve the place for setting up the banquet and setting up the stage, so that the steward of the Cen Mansion could be busy.

In addition, the servants and maids in the house are also busy enough——— some are busy hanging yarn tents, knotting colored balls, hanging lanterns, and some are busy moving out large decorations such as longevity stone wood carvings, marquees, glass screens, etc., and some people are busy building color sheds and stages, in short, the whole Cen Mansion is lively and joyful everywhere!
