Chapter 410: The Emperor is Coming (5)
Zhang's mother was overjoyed when she saw this face, this can be taken down, although the price exceeded expectations, but the hand that can be obtained is the best result.
The slave trader wanted more, and kept asking questions, tricking others into bidding.
Ye Ziqi was a little unhappy, "Are you selling or not selling?" ”
Seeing that the customer was not happy, the slave trader smiled cheekily and said, "This beautiful water spirit is ...... by this one."
"One thousand taels."
Everyone looked behind them, and they saw a young man coming up from behind, and everyone recognized him.
That person was Shi Yuran, the eldest son of the governor of Jiangnan.
The governor of Jiangnan is a feudal official in the Jiangnan area, with a high and powerful position, and in the Jiangnan area where the emperor is far away, he is a veritable emperor here.
The people who can become the governor of Jiangnan are all the emperor's confidants, and it is not surprising that such a figure will be stationed in the cabinet in a few years.
Whoever dares to offend the governor's son in this realm will dare to rob people.
Ye Ziqi also understands this truth.
They are just powerless people in Qinglou, and they have to beg for a living under the snort of these powerful people. Although beauty is not easy, it is not worth offending Shi Ran for this.
The big slave trader also knew that this price was the highest, and it could not be higher.
Shi Yuran walked to Ye Ziqi's side, his eyes did not look at the woman on the stage, but at Ye Ziqi, and said politely: "This young lady has conceded." ”
Ye Ziqi didn't speak, and bowed his head slightly, which can be regarded as taking care of him.
Shi Yuran's gaze swept over Zhang's mother, and then looked at Ye Ziqi again, as if she was guessing her identity.
If it is said that Ye Ziqi is a Qinglou woman, but the temperament she exudes, as well as Zhang's mother's attitude towards her, does not look like a Qinglou woman.
She is more like the person who dominates Zhang's mother.
Shi Yuran left with the alien woman on the stage. After he left, the people below were talking.
"I've always heard that Shi Gongzi is clean and self-conscious, but I didn't expect him to be a person who loves beauty." Someone quipped.
"You don't understand that. Shi Gongzi bought the beauty back, I'm afraid it wasn't for himself. An insider said.
Someone immediately asked: "What is that for, is it given to a certain official in the capital?" ”
"No, no. You don't know yet. The emperor has gone down to the south of the Yangtze River, and I heard that he will soon arrive in our Jinling City. At first glance, the man was a merchant from the north.
"The emperor is coming!"
There were bursts of exclamations from the people around.
Ye Ziqi's steps paused, and his expression was slightly stunned.
He's coming!
Zhang's mother and others were equally surprised, who were not surprised to hear the news.
The merchant from the north continued, "If you guess correctly, you will arrive at Jinling City in a few days. Thinking that Shi Gongzi bought the woman, she should be a beauty ready to be dedicated to the emperor. ”
Everyone suddenly realized.
"The emperor is coming, this is a great joy."
Ye Ziqi said to Zhang's mother and the others, who were still in shock: "Let's go." ”
Zhang's mother and her family left the slave trading market with the slaves they bought.
The news about the emperor's arrival in Jinling City swept through the entire Jinling City like a whirlwind, and the whole city was discussing. The governor, prefect and other officials began to clean up the streets and move all the beggars out of Jinling City.
The shops on the street have been replaced with new lanterns and their surfaces have been cleaned. "Your Majesty, Niangniang has crossed again!" The latest chapters of "Paw Book House" are free to read for the first time.
