"What? Beaten. Xiao Ruyu stood up again in a gaffe, thinking of Han Yixuan's concealment from herself, she felt relieved again, "Yes, good fight." By the way, why was he beaten? "It won't be that he was beaten by the Wing King because of some scandal with his cousin Gua Tian Lixia, if so, then the relationship between her and Han Yixuan is really over.

"This subordinate doesn't know, the Yiwang Mansion is very tight, and the subordinate doesn't know what the specific reason is. If you want to know, your subordinates will send someone to investigate? ”

"Okay, you quickly send someone to inquire why Han Yixuan was beaten, but don't tell my father-in-law about this, understand?" Xiao Ruyu frowned and whispered.

"Yes, the subordinates retired." Ming Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the eldest lady was not as powerful as they said in Ming Chun, at least it was very reasonable, not difficult, why did these people persuade him to be careful with the eldest lady.

Just left next winter, and next spring is coming. He told Xiao Ruyu that the emperor of the General's Mansion had issued an order, and the general could not come back for the time being, so let him come back first to report the news, and let him tell the eldest lady that he could go to the market first to buy some maids and mother-in-law to teach in advance, and when the mansion was opened, it could be used.

As the name suggests, the human market is a place where human beings are bought and sold, and it is a place where the government allows the sale of slaves. Every servant or maid-in-law has a detailed registration, most of them were sold by their parents or by their old masters, and of course some of them sold their own if they couldn't survive.

Xiao Ruyu is very reluctant to buy and sell people, but she knows that this phenomenon is not something she can change, so she can only go with the flow.

"Mingqiu will bring some people to Beijing, and the caretaker and the eldest lady of the nursing home don't have to worry about it. In addition, there is no need to look for a housekeeper, the general has a courtyard in northern Xinjiang, where there is an old housekeeper who has been with the general for more than ten years, very reliable, and the general has arranged for Mingqiu to pick him up. The general's meaning, the eldest lady can buy some mother-in-law and waiting rings first, and the others can be as she pleases. Ming Chun explained.

It's not that the general doesn't believe in the eyes of the eldest lady, these things were arranged before the general came to the capital. The general didn't expect to receive a daughter halfway, if he had known earlier, I am afraid that the mother-in-law would have arranged it.

Because of Han Yixuan's matter, Xiao Ruyu didn't want to go out, she was in a bad mood, she wanted to calm down and think about what to do, she Xiao Ruyu is not a woman who can't live without a man, if Han Yixuan really changed her mind, she kicked him.

But what if he hadn't changed his mind? Because of his childhood sweetheart, Xiao Ruyu felt that he was not honest enough, and he was anxious to see his heart, so he also poured cold water, wanting to wait a few days to see the situation.

In addition, she also wanted to determine Han Yixuan's true thoughts, whether he really loved herself? Because of Qin Ruyue's news, Xiao Ruyu had doubts about Han Yixuan's feelings for her. I heard that the cure for a broken love is to have another relationship, but I don't know if she is another love for him or a temporary substitute to comfort him for falling out of love. If you dare to use her Xiao Ruyu as a pastime, Han Yixuan, are you ready to accept my revenge?

didn't want to dwell on Han Yixuan's problem anymore, Xiao Ruyu simply called Cai Wei, called Ding Fang, and went to the city to take a look. Ming Dong sent a few more guys to follow to protect the eldest lady.

Mingchun must keep up, he has also seen the human market in the border city of northern Xinjiang before, and he understands it in general, and the general has ordered, he must protect the eldest lady well, the capital is too chaotic, she is a girl, don't let people bully her.

I don't know if the general is sorry or not, the eldest lady's ability, the general doesn't know, she bullies others is almost the same, who can bully her.

Ding Fang drove everyone to the people's market at the west gate of the capital, which was more like a big bazaar, but the goods being bought and sold were just people.

The human market is very large, mainly operated by the government, which is divided into several parts, and there are those who specialize in buying and selling male servants, each with a detailed division of labor. There are also those who specialize in buying and selling maids, although Yahuan and mother-in-law belong to maids, but they are bought and sold the most, so they occupy a large part of the market, and they have their own scale.

Let's buy Yahuan first, according to Ming Chun, Xiao Ruyu will be the concubine of the General's Mansion in the future, this identity must be indispensable, at least a dozen maids. Among them, there are two first-class girls, four second-class girls, four third-class girls, and other chores, sprinklers and sweepers.

Mother-in-law also has to buy a few more, it is best to have the kind of grandmother who has served everyone's ladies, of course, this kind of person must inquire clearly, don't care about appearance, and the character must be guaranteed. Listening to Ming Chun chattering about Xiao Zhongjing's instructions, Xiao Ruyu felt very warm and comfortable, it was really not easy for a father-in-law to think of so much, if he didn't care about her daughter, he wouldn't be so worried, thinking of this, the troubles brought by Han Yixuan were temporarily put aside.

"How many distinguished guests are you going to buy?" The men who entertained the visitors in the human market hurriedly came up to say hello, and politely invited them to sit under a pavilion. The terrain is very high, so you can see the situation of the city very well.

"Our eldest lady needs to buy some maids-in-law, if there are good ones, just bring them." Ming Chun commanded. The fellow's eyes lit up, and he smiled and agreed, and trotted off into the distance.

After a while, their commander came. This is a middle-aged uncle who looks very gentle, with a round face, a pinch of mustache, a chubby body, and a happy look.

"Distinguished guests, I am the director of the human market here, surnamed Zhang, I don't know what you want, just ask."

"Ao, Director Zhang, we need more than a dozen Yahuan, six mothers-in-law, Yahuan, we must be honest and loyal, and some specialties are the best. Mother-in-law, it is best to have someone who has served everyone's ladies, and it is best to understand all aspects of etiquette and hospitality. ”

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll do it right away." As soon as he heard that he was going to buy so many people, Director Zhang's eyes were shining, and his eyes were full of flattery when he looked at them, and he almost trotted down and ordered, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he personally brought people.

Tall, short, fat and thin, a total of more than 20 girls lined up, let Xiao Ruyu and them go to choose. The girls had different expressions, some were flat, some were numb, some were timid, and some were full of longing. Xiao Ruyu watched these flower-like girls being judged like goods, feeling very bad and a little depressed.

She said to Cai Wei, "Cai Wei, you choose, try to choose something that looks more peaceful, it doesn't matter if you are beautiful or ugly." Cai Wei nodded, and when she saw these girls, she thought of herself at the beginning. Biting his lip slightly, he slowly walked up to these people, raised his eyes and began to look for them slowly.

Seeing that some of the girls did not even have a clean and decent dress, she felt more and more uncomfortable, and she longed to bring them all back. But now she understands that she can't add her own will. She is the master's maid, and her master's plan is in the future.

The eyes are too wandering, not enough to be settled, you can't ask for it, and you can't ask for it if you look dull and don't have any aura. It's not okay if you're too beautiful, what if the master gets married in the future and is favored by the male master? I have to say that the little girl Caiwei really thinks long-term.

After a while, Cai Wei picked four people out. Seeing the person she picked out, Xiao Ruyu smiled. How did she choose, she was not ugly, she was not beautiful, she was not very shrewd, and she was not wooden, she was ordinary in the crowd. Xiao Ruyu nodded and asked them to stand aside.

She stood up, walked up to the women, and looked up to observe them carefully. Four is definitely not enough, she has a lot of things to do in the future, she doesn't want to come to the market again, she is very uncomfortable to see people being sold as livestock.

"This young lady, you can choose me." A big-eyed, particularly beautiful girl said boldly. She should be from a large family, although the clothes are a little old, but the material is very good, and the whole person looks like she is graceful and bright with everyone's unique beauty.

"Oh? Why? Xiao Ruyu was surprised by her boldness and asked sideways. It was the first time she had ever seen such a bold girl. You know, the management of the human market is very strict, and she is not allowed to speak, if you don't choose her now, when they leave, this girl will be punished.

"I can read, I can read, I can embroider and play the piano." The girl also regretted it a little, and when she saw Director Zhang's cold eyes flying over, she subconsciously shrank her neck.

"People are looking for Yahuan, not for Miss." Director Zhang snorted lightly, with an icy chill. The girl had tears in her eyes, glanced at Xiao Ruyu in despair, and moved her lips timidly, "I can also use some medical skills, and my father is a doctor." ”

These words made Xiao Ruyu's eyes light up, she wants to do the business of finished drugs in the future, a girl who understands medicine, it is just timely rain. She nodded happily, "It's you, go over there and wait." ”

"Ugh." The girl was so happy that she almost cried, she walked a few steps quickly, stopped again, and whispered to Xiao Ruyu, "Can you bring my sister back with you?" She knows some medicinal herbs, really, she is much better than me in medicinal materials, and my father has praised her. ”

"Where's your sister?" Xiao Ruyu became interested, and it was great to be able to buy two people who knew medicine at once.

"She's not here, she's sick, they say she's dead, but I know she's not going to die, as long as she is cured, she'll be fine, really." Speaking of her sister, this girl's tears fell again, afraid that Xiao Ruyu would not believe it, she kept reassuring: "I know medical skills, I know that as long as there is medicine, she will be fine, please, buy her together." Saying that, he wanted to kneel down for Xiao Ruyu.

Xiao Ruyu grabbed her and asked Director Zhang, "What about this girl's sister, this girl bought it together." ”

"This ,......," Director Zhang looked very embarrassed. Xiao Ruyu glanced at Ming Chun, Ming Chun stepped forward with a smile, hugged Director Zhang's shoulders and turned back, and stuffed a purse into him, which contained twenty taels of silver.

"This distinguished guest, I am not embarrassed for you, this girl, but there are several noble sons who have fallen in love, by the way, and the Miss Zhang family of the medicinal herb merchant Renhetang has also instructed, you must sell people to them, you see, this is ...... No one dares to offend the little ones."

"If they don't dare to offend, you dare to offend our young lady?" Ming Chun bared his teeth at him, and his face darkened, "Do you know which house we belong to?" Does General Zhenbei know? This is the eldest lady of the Great General's Mansion, you have to think about it, are you afraid of offending the young lady of the Great General's Mansion, or are you afraid of offending the daughter of some medicinal herb merchant? ”

Ming Chun gave him a punch in the chest, although it didn't hurt, but Director Zhang's face changed immediately, and he kept smiling at Ming Chun, "The little one has eyes and doesn't know Taishan, I offended you, don't blame the little one, take this girl away, don't say it's her, it's no problem to bring a few more." He made a gesture to return the purse, and Ming Chun raised his chin high, "I've rewarded you." He became more and more flattering. Mingchun proudly raised his eyebrows from Xiao Ruyu, Xiao Ruyu scolded with a smile: The fox is fake and the tiger is powerful, and the power is bullying.
