Chapter 7 A home was made in the small courtyard
The black-clothed entourage looked at these three, and actually laughed out loud: "Follow me!" It is estimated that he also felt that such a smile was very unserious, and the black-clothed entourage immediately corrected his expression and spit out three words in a stiff manner.
Youwen and Junshan glanced at each other, pulled Hua Cry from behind with his backhand, and followed cautiously.
The black-clothed entourage led them in the opposite direction of the Hou Mansion, and from time to time they turned back to urge, but the three of them were too slow.
Until the end of the northern city, the black-clothed entourage turned into an alley, and then immediately turned around and poked his head out, afraid that the three who followed behind would slip away, Youwen really had this idea, but it only lasted for a moment, and the black-clothed entourage seemed to know, this person was really annoying.
The alley bends and turns, and finally stopped in front of a broken door, the black-clothed entourage took out a key from his arms, opened the door, stood on the side and gave the three of them a look and asked them to enter, Youwen and Junshan leaned against the wall to protect the flower weeping and walked into the yard, which was quite spacious, there was a two-story small building, a camphor tree was planted in the yard, which was already higher than the roof, and under the tree was a well, the edge of the well was dilapidated, and it looked like a house that had been around for some years.
The black-clothed attendant took the key and opened the door to the room on the first floor, and then walked in by himself, and the three of them had to follow.
When I entered the house, I found that it was actually very big, it was a flower hall, the house was complete, and it was cleaned, and I couldn't smell the dust, and the black-clothed entourage sat on the broad chair, leaning on the back and holding the armrest, and one foot was still stepping on the edge of the chair.
"Qin Shuyu is not in the mansion, he will come back in a while, what do you have to tell me!" The black-clothed attendant looked at the three of them and said.
Hua Weeping is not afraid now, if he really wants to kill them, this person doesn't have to spend so much time on it, as soon as the person relaxes, his reaction will be normal, he stepped forward and half-bent his hands to his waist and saluted sideways: "This adult, the old father of the people's daughter has passed away, and now there is only one relative left in the brother, so I came to him, please take pity on the misery of the people's daughter, and tell my brother the whereabouts." ”
"Well, so you're here to join him?"
"No, no, no, we're here to find him home, and my father told him on his deathbed......"
"Home? Can't go back! ”
"Why is that?"
"He has sold himself to the Hou Mansion, how can he just leave!"
"Sell yourself?!" Hua Wei looked back at Youwen and Junshan, and the three of them were all surprised and shouted in unison.
"Don't you know? A year ago, he signed a deed of sale when he came to the Hou Mansion, and the eldest prince gave him twelve taels of silver, didn't he send someone to send it to you? Didn't you get the money? ”
Hua wept tears and tears fell, Qin Shuyu's guy, in order to earn money to treat her father's illness, actually sold himself to the Hou Mansion, he thought that the main family valued him at the time, and was willing to give him a year's salary advance, it turned out to be so! Just now, just now, the three of them also rubbed a meal of "big meat" with the silver that Qin Shuyu sold himself, and they felt that they were not human beings when they thought about it!
The black-clothed entourage was a rough man, he couldn't see the woman crying, he was fierce and vicious just now, but now he seemed a little overwhelmed, he got up and thought about it and felt that it was not suitable to sit back, "That, girl, selling yourself is not necessarily cheap, it is his creation to be able to enter the Hou Mansion, don't you cry, look at me, isn't it also a subordinate of the Hou Mansion, there is food and clothing, and there is spare money to go home to raise the family, what's wrong?" ”
"My lord knows, the brother of the people's daughter is to take the test to gain fame, last year the township test failed, my father hoped that he would take the test again in three years, and now he is sold into slavery, how can he still be qualified to participate in the imperial examination? What's more, the father was still alive last year, and the deed should have been agreed by the father to press the handprint before he could go to the government office to record it, why is it so simple for the brother of the folk girl to sell his body? Hua Weeping's heart was broken, this Qin Shuyu's life was completely ruined!
Youwen was also anxious, and stepped forward and bowed: "My lord... This... We ......"
"Well... I don't know, I'm just a subordinate, and Qin Shuyu didn't sell it to me, besides, isn't the Hou Mansion an official mansion? Okay, I understand what you think, Qin Shuyu is willing to sell himself to the Hou Mansion, no one forces him, it is estimated that he will be able to come back after finishing his work in a few months, you will ask him clearly then, what's more, it's too late to say that you don't want to now, you can't redeem yourself in the death contract, and others can't enter the Hou Mansion if they want to, be content! ”
"The eldest prince is merciful, saying that this house is for a few of you to live in, you can wait for Qin Shuyu to come back here, if you don't want to live, go home, then I will ask the eldest prince to give him a few days to rest, and it is okay to go back to see you, but there is one point, don't go to the Hou Mansion to hang around, no one can save you if something happens!" The black-clothed entourage got up and threw a bag of things on the table, and left by himself, the three of them, you look at me, I look at you, stupid in the house.
Death Pact! No wonder Qin Shuyu can bring back twelve taels of silver to go home, ordinary people can buy a girl as a daughter-in-law for one or two taels of silver, no matter how talented Qin Shuyu is, selling himself as a slave is no more than two taels at most, only blame himself for not understanding it when he was young, but now he understands what can he do?
Youwen opened the bag on the table, it was heavy, and he poured out five small silver ingots, all of which were one or two pieces of pure silver, and he was stunned when he saw it.
The three of them came to their senses, this eldest prince of the Hou Mansion has a great reputation, and he is so bad that he is a household name, and now he gives the house back to the silver, maybe he is holding back something bad, Qin Shuyu himself is a person who sold himself into slavery, why does the eldest prince of the Hou Mansion need to look at the face of the slave and take care of the three of them? After careful discussion, Youwen felt that he simply took the silver and left, this kind of fool killed him and Junshan would not be of any benefit, I was afraid that he would pay attention to the flowers, Mr. was a daughter of hers, something happened, and he would not have the face to see the Huachangting under the Yellow Spring in the future, and Junshan also felt that it made sense.
Since her father fell ill, Hua Cry seems to have grown up overnight and matured a lot, although what Youwen said makes sense, but she always feels that things here are not so simple, what beautiful woman is not the eldest son of the Hou Mansion? He is a wild girl in the countryside, he can't look down on the rustic, he is arrogant and doesn't even have the interest to take care of her, even if he doesn't hate to kill her, the five taels of silver that the black-clothed entourage just threw down are enough to buy five girls, is he still short of women? She wanted to figure everything out, stay here and wait for Qin Shuyu to come back, as if her brother would be farther and farther away from her when she went back to Taoyuan Village.
Youwen and Junshan jumped up and down in a hurry, thinking about it, except for the flower crying, I really can't think of anything, what else can make the eldest prince of the Hou Mansion take some advantage, nothing to be courteous, either treachery or theft, who will have nothing to do to live in the house and give silver flowers? The eldest prince of the Hou Mansion doesn't seem to have any wrong tendons, he can't afford to take this risk!
There was no way, Youwen gave Junshan a look, Junshan knew how to carry the flowers and wept and went outside, Youwen didn't forget to put the bag of silver into his arms.
Hua Wai reacted, wow wow yelled, desperately hammered Jun Shan's shoulders with his hands, his legs struggled and kicked around, Jun Shan couldn't walk on his back and the two fell to the ground, Youwen rushed over and sighed, just like this, if they put Hua Cry out, the government would immediately arrest them and put them in prison, saying that they were light to rob the people's daughters!
Hua Wai insisted on staying, Youwen was not at ease, so he had to stay, if he slipped away, Qin Shuyu would be able to kick him to death when he came back one day, thought about it, and arranged for Junshan to go back to Taoyuan Village, and inform his parents at home, so as not to worry, Hua Wai took out two ingots of silver, and asked Junshan to take it back to Youwen and his family with a ingot, after all, the family is very busy with farm work, and the harvest will be lost if there is less labor, in case the rent cannot be paid, the whole family will have to starve, Youwen also agreed, let Junshan return here immediately after he goes back, one more person and one more guarantee, Although the three of them were slaughtered by others in the face of a black-clothed entourage before, anyway, no matter what, even if they die, they have to protect Hua Cry.
Paying attention to the agreement, Junshan carefully tied the two ingots of silver to the trousers, asked them to take care of themselves, and went out to Taoyuan Village.
After all, you have to sleep on the bed at night, fortunately there is no shortage of things here, even the kitchen pot stove has it, but there is no oil, salt and rice grain, Youwen plans to go out to buy some back, and the two of them cook and eat at night.
