The old bustard led Mu Ranyue to the second floor. Mu Ranyue was amazed, the level of this second floor was much better than the first floor.

There are no women here who scratch their heads and gesture to the guests, they are very well-dressed, and they talk elegantly, and they don't look like dusty women at all, but like official women.

The old bustard immediately found a few little ones for Mu Ranyue, "Childe, do you have any favorites?" ”

Mu Ranyue looked at these little girls, all dressed in white, they looked very elegant, and their looks were good, but none of them amazed her.

They didn't look like they were seventeen or eighteen years old, with cowardice in their expressions, and Mu Ranyue was a little lacking in interest.

Suddenly, Mu Ranyue noticed a little man on the edge who was almost hidden, he looked much smaller than the others, his face was clearly still a child, but his face was delicate and handsome, and his face showed maturity and indifference that did not match his age, as if he had already looked down on the things in this world and didn't care about anything.

Mu Ranyue's expression was a little trance-like, as if she had seen Ye Zichen when she first met, and she was also so spotless.

And at first glance, this child's face really looks a little like Ye Zichen. If it weren't for the fact that she didn't seem to be the right age, she would have wondered if this was Ye Zichen's child.

Mu Ranyue instantly became interested in this child, pointed with her jade hand, and asked, "Why do you still have such a small little girl here?" How old is he this year? ”

Seeing that she finally had someone she was interested in, the old bustard hurriedly introduced: "He is ten years old this year, and the son doesn't know, some people especially like this kind of child." This kid was brought to me by a talented person, and he is surprisingly sensible, without the slightest resistance, and does whatever he wants. Speaking of which, this is the first time he has come out to meet people. ”

It's really pitiful to be sold to such a place at the age of ten. Mu Ranyue said in her heart.

"Oh, in that case, then I'm going to want him."

The old bustard hurriedly took the others down, leaving the space for Mu Ranyue and the child.

Seeing this situation, the corners of Ye Zichen's mouth hooked up a trace of a sad smile, and the back of the hand holding the teacup faintly had green tendons bursting out, as if it was about to erupt in the next moment.

Han Sheng was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, this lady is really not an ordinary person, she came to the Qinglou to find a young man after only a few days of marriage, if it was an ordinary man, I am afraid that he would not be able to bear it for a long time, and he lost his master's endurance so good.

Ye Zichen endured and endured, and finally gradually suppressed that anger, and continued to watch, if Mu Ranyue didn't want a child, he would really fly down and grab her and clean her up.

However, Han Sheng noticed the child's face, and immediately exclaimed, "Lord, this child looks a little like you." ”

Ye Zichen also found out, and snorted coldly: "There are so many similar people in the world, what's strange." ”

Below, Mu Ranyue was teasing the child, "Do you know what kind of place this is?" ”

"Yes." The boy spat out two words faintly.

"Then you're being sold here, aren't you afraid?"

The boy was silent, he stayed in that harsh environment with his parents since he was a child, lived a life of insufficient food and clothing, and endured the ridicule and torture of others, maybe he would be afraid before, but gradually he didn't know what he was afraid of, he only knew that being able to live was the most important thing.

Even if his family was wiped out later, and his parents desperately saved his life, he didn't shed a single tear, and he only had one thought at that time, since his parents protected his life so desperately, then he couldn't let his parents down.

Mu Ranyue saw the pain and firmness in the boy's eyes, and a little understood why he was so precocious, I am afraid that he has experienced some great changes.

He asked, "Can you tell me how you got here?" ”

The boy said coldly, "I volunteered." ”

"Poof......" Mu Ranyue squirted out all the tea he drank, what did he say? Voluntary? It's teasing her.

Han Sheng and Ye Zichen heard their conversation clearly, and when they heard this, Han Sheng's reaction was similar to Mu Ranyue's.

Mu Ranyue looked at the boy steadily, but saw that he showed no signs of lying at all.

"Did you really do it voluntarily?" ”

The boy nodded expressionlessly.

When he was exiled and kidnapped by gangsters, he didn't have a chance to escape, but later he heard that they were going to sell him to the Qinglou, so he thought that this would be okay, at least a place where he could live.

Of course, he knew what the Qinglou was, but he was not afraid at all in his heart. When he was at home before, he had been bullied a long time ago because he was good-looking, and he would resist at first, but those people threatened him with his parents, and he could only obey obediently, and he had already lost his dignity.

Later, his family rescued a doctor, who gave him a silver needle before leaving. And with that silver needle, he made all the people who had bullied him pay the price, but those people did not know, and only thought that he might have contracted some disease that had infected them, so they did not dare to touch him again.

Mu Ranyue suddenly felt a lot of pity and pity in her heart, this boy didn't know how much hardship he had endured when he was a child, so he would willingly come to Qinglou to be a little girl.

"Are you really going to stay in this kind of place forever?"

The boy was silent, of course he wouldn't stay here forever, but now he hadn't figured out what he could do when he got out.

Mu Ranyue saw what he was thinking, and felt compassion for him again, and suddenly wanted to take him out, such a poor and good-looking child should not stay in this kind of place and be tortured.

"Would you like to take you out if I took you out?"

The boy's face changed, and he raised his eyes and looked at her fixedly for a long time.

saw Mu Ranyue's sincere face, and what was in her eyes was only sympathy and pity, nothing else.

He felt that this son was different from other benefactors.

But he said, "I don't want to." ”

Mu Ranyue was surprised: "Why? ”

The boy said lightly: "When I entered this green building, I originally wanted to have a place to live temporarily, and I will go out with my ability in the future." ”

Mu Ranyue mocked mercilessly: "What skills can you have as a little man in this Qinglou?" ”

The boy's face turned pale and he was a little ashamed, yes, what can he do if he stays in the Qinglou?

Seeing this, Mu Ranyue gently touched his head and said softly: "After you go out with me, I can help you with what you want to do." ”

The boy raised his eyes in shock, and saw Mu Ranyue's sincere and gentle face, which was a tenderness he hadn't felt for a long time, and he couldn't help nodding slightly.

Mu Ranyue smiled with relief.

Ye Zichen's eyes fell on Mu Ranyue's hand, and he really wanted to arrest her now. Then he heard that she wanted to redeem herself for the little man, and couldn't help but sneer, the people of Ning Xiang Pavilion were not so easy to take away, and the younger the age, the higher the price, he wanted to see how much money she had to take this child out.

Mu Ranyue beckoned to the old bustard, "This kid, my son wants it." ”

The old bustard smiled and said, "If the son wants to redeem him, that's fine, but the price is ......."

"How much is it?" Mu Ranyue thought that the money should be within her acceptable range, but she didn't expect the price said by the bustard to make her almost faint.

"What do you say? Ten thousand taels? Mu Ranyue was stunned, this is equivalent to more than one million yuan in modern times.

The bustard smiled and nodded, confirming that she had heard correctly.

Mu Ranyue was angry on the spot, "Ten thousand taels? Why don't you grab it? I'll tell you, I'll give you a thousand taels at most for this kid, don't even think about it, and I must take him away. ”

The old bustard said with a smile: "Childe is joking, you don't look at what kind of place I have in this Ningxiang Pavilion, the cheapest girl here is not only a thousand taels, not to mention such a handsome little girl." ”

"Ning Xiang Pavilion is known as the first green building in the world, but it is still possible to do such a robbery business?"

"If the son has to think that this price is expensive, it's okay, but this child can't be taken away, and I can't bear this child, after all, he is a good seedling, and the money he will make for my Ning Xiang Pavilion in the future will not stop at 10,000 taels. However, Childe also needs to pay for today's consumption in Ningxiang Pavilion, a total of two thousand taels. ”

Hearing this, Mu Ranyue really regretted coming to this Ning Xiang Pavilion, but she now also understands why this Ning Xiang Pavilion is only for officials and nobles, how can ordinary people afford this price?

But Mu Ranyue had already decided to take the boy away, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, 10,000 taels is 10,000 taels, I really think that my son can't afford it." But now that my son doesn't have so much money, can I give it to you after I bring someone back? ”

"That's not good, didn't Childe bring a little girl, you can let him go back and get it." The old bustard glanced at Yunsheng.

Mu Ranyue was indignant in her heart, but there was no other way.

At this time, the steward came, and whispered to the old bustard, when the old bustard heard it, his face changed, he was shocked and scared, and looked at Mu Ranyue in disbelief, he was actually the master's person?

Mu Ranyue felt inexplicable, why did she stare at her like this?

The old bustard stabilized his mind and apologized to Mu Ranyue: "I'm sorry son, I just made a joke on you." You can take this child with you for only a thousand taels. ”

Mu Ranyue wondered, why did it take a while for the price to drop so quickly, what did the person say to her just now?

But she didn't ask, as long as the price dropped, who cares why.

Mu Ranyue happily gave her three thousand taels.

The old bustard smiled and said, "Okay, Childe can take this child away now." ”

Mu Ranyue took the child and left the Ning Xiang Pavilion.

Han Sheng asked puzzledly, "Lord, why did you let Madame take that child?" ”

Yezi Chenyun said lightly: "It's just a child, since she likes it, then why not let her take it away." ”

However, he still has to settle the account with her when she comes to Qinglou today.

Ye Zichen turned around and went out through the secret passage.

As soon as Mu Ranyue came out of the Ning Xiang Pavilion, she saw the carriage of Zuo Xiangfu waiting there, and it was still Han Sheng who was driving, and she chuckled violently in her heart.
