Chapter 134

In the winter, it snowed heavily in Kyoto.

Ye Ji gathered the thick big coat on his body, dialed the charcoal basin in the carriage, added a few pieces of new charcoal into it, lifted the corner of the curtain and looked at it, the sky was already clear, there was a thick layer of snow on the ground, and the coachman carefully set up the carriage and drove on the official road in the suburbs. Ye Ji put down the curtain, this trip to the neighboring county was very rewarding, he had a lot of new ideas, and he couldn't wait to go back and discuss with Bai Jingshuang.

"Phew—" shouted the coachman, and the carriage slowly stopped, and the carriage that followed behind also stopped, "Master, the middle of the road is blocked, we have to wait." ”

Ye Ji heard the man's beating and scolding and the woman's crying, he frowned, lifted the curtain and poked his head out to take a look, A man in his thirties and forties with a fierce face was grabbing a girl's hair, scolding and trying to drag her away, the girl was fifteen or sixteen years old, in ragged clothes, There was only a pair of straw sandals on her feet on such a cold day, she knelt on the ground and hugged the man's legs, begging bitterly: "Dad, don't sell me, I will work, I will do a lot of work, if you sell me, no one will wash and cook for you." ”

The man kicked her, "Hurry up and get out, Lao Tzu raised you so big, it's time for you to repay it, besides, what do you think you went to, it's much better than at home, go and keep you eating and drinking spicy!" ”

"No, I'm not going! I'd rather eat bran at home for the rest of my life than go to a brothel! The girl's red and swollen hands hugged the man's legs tightly, no matter how he pulled, he refused to get up, and the man's hair was torn into a chicken nest, and a few strands of hair were torn off and fell on the snow on the side, which was very conspicuous.

The man's legs were hugged by her, and he couldn't break free for a while, so he was ruthless, raised his fist and smashed a few punches on her back, "Hurry up!" Lao Tzu owes the casino silver, and if he doesn't sell you, where will the money come from to continue gambling? The fortune teller can say that Lao Tzu will make a fortune at the end of the year! ”

The girl was beaten dizzy for a while, and her hand couldn't help but loosen its strength, and the man took the opportunity to break free, pulled her shoulder, and dragged her a few steps on the snow.

The girl quickly came back to her senses, she saw two carriages parked not far away, and the courage came from nowhere, she broke free of the man's hand with all her might, and ran to the carriage quickly, kneeling on the snow with a pop, "Old lady, save me, buy me back, I'm very capable, I can do anything, I-"

Before she could finish her words, the man had already chased after her, grabbed her hair, and pulled hard, and a strand of hair was torn off again.

A slender hand lifted the curtain of the car, Ye Ji silently glanced at the noisy father and daughter, his eyes fell on the girl's bare feet, and the straw sandals on her feet had fallen off, revealing a pair of feet covered with chilblains.

The girl was expecting a kind lady in the carriage, but she didn't expect it to be a young man, her heart suddenly cooled, despair and helplessness devoured her heart, the man pulled her arm and walked back, she even forgot to resist.

"How much?"

An indifferent voice came, the man's footsteps paused, and the girl's eyes burst with a light of hope.

"One, one hundred taels of silver!" The man swallowed.

"No, it's not that expensive!" The girl shouted, "He sold me to a brothel for fifteen taels!" ”

"Shut up!" The man scolded, then raised his face and smiled flatteringly: "This master, the minimum is ninety taels." ”

Ye Ji sneered, "Give you twenty taels, take it away if you want, and get out of the way if you don't." ”

The man hesitated, "This master, eighty taels, you see, my daughter is also quite beautiful, you can buy it-"

With a "huh", Ye Ji lowered the curtain and ordered, "Go." ”

The coachman whipped his horse, and the wheels slowly began to roll.

"Sell, sell, sell!" The man was anxious, "Don't go, don't go, I'll sell it for twenty taels!" ”

"Give you nineteen taels, take it if you want, don't, there will be no next chance." The carriage did not stop, and Ye Ji's cold voice came through the curtain.

"I just said twenty taels!" The man gritted his teeth in anger and chased the carriage for a few steps, "Nineteen taels is nineteen taels, sold!" "At least four taels more than selling to a brothel, he didn't dare to deal with this young man any longer, maybe he really left, or lowered himself to eighteen taels.

"Stop." Ye Ji commanded, and the two carriages stopped again, "Lao Gao, give him nineteen taels." ”

The long entourage of Ye Ji jumped out of the carriage behind him and handed the silver to the man, who put the silver in his mouth and bit it, and smiled.

"Let's go." Ye Ji's voice fell, and the two carriages moved again, and the girl happily followed, passing by the straw sandals she had just lost, carefully putting them on her feet, grinding them to the frostbite on her feet, grinning in pain, and trotting a few steps again, and following closely beside the carriage.

For some reason, the carriage walked for a while but stopped, Ye Ji lifted the curtain and looked at the girl's feet, "Come up." ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, and waved her hand again and again, "No, I can walk, my body is dirty, and I can't dirty my carriage." ”

"Come up. Since I bought you, you have to be obedient. Ye Ji repeated again, there was a long and two guards sitting in the carriage behind, there was really no place for her to sit, it was cold and snowy, he listened to the creaking sound of the girl's straw sandals stepping on the snow, and his heart felt uncomfortable for a while.

When the girl heard this, she hurriedly climbed into the carriage and curled up in the corner of the carriage, for fear of touching the contents of the carriage.

"When you enter the city, you can leave, if you have any relatives to run to, go to it, but don't go back to your father, since he sold you once, if you go back, you will definitely be sold by him." Ye Ji admonished.

The girl raised her head in horror, "Master, you, don't you want me?" ”

Ye Ji shook his head, "I'm not short of people. ”

"I have no one to run to, so take me." The girl looked at Ye Ji pleadingly, "I can cook on the fire, wash clothes, sew, clean, farm, plant seedlings and weed, even if, even if there is something I can't do, I can learn, master, please don't drive me away, I really have nowhere to go." ”

"If you know how to make a fire, then you can go to the kitchen and make a fire first."

"Yes, yes, yes! I'm good at the fire, the small fire for baking the cakes, the fine fire for boiling porridge, the simmering heat for decoction, and the high heat for stir-frying, I have no problem! The girl's eyes lit up with excitement, and Ye Ji realized that she had a pair of very smart eyes.

Ye Ji smiled, "There are rules in the house, during the period when you burn the fire, you have to follow the person in charge to learn the rules well, and when you enter the mansion later, sign the deed of sale, I will arrange it." ”

The girl looked at Ye Ji gratefully, "Yes, thank you for your life-saving grace, I will definitely burn the fire well." ”

Ye Ji lifted the curtain and took a look, it was not far from the city gate, it seemed that he could go home smoothly today. Several carriages on the opposite side were coming, even if the carriage did not have any family mansion marks on it, but the wide frame was not an ordinary family at first glance, and the people in the carriage also lifted the curtain to take a look, and Ye Ji immediately recognized it, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the current dynasty.

The carriage staggered for just a moment, Ye Ji sighed in his heart, and he didn't know what the situation was like for Ye Fu, last time he asked his fourth sister Ye Qian to send a letter, saying that everything was fine, but she couldn't even see her, she was Fengyi, and it stands to reason that she wouldn't be able to see her mother's family at all.

Putting down the curtain, the prince's brows furrowed, the people in the carriage opposite were a little familiar, as if they had seen them somewhere, and there was no clue after thinking about it for a long time, he even forgot Ye Fu, how could he remember Ye Ji, the prince shook his head, forget it, no matter who he is, let's hurry up and go to the suburban garden.

Since killing King Kang, the emperor knew that although he did not punish him explicitly, he was not allowed to return to the court and let him stay honestly in the East Palace. He also knew that he had choked the emperor so angry this time that he didn't dare to act mischief, for fear of being caught and making his situation even more dangerous. It's been more than a year, and he really can't hold it back, and it is estimated that the emperor's anger should also be gone, so he sent his subordinates out again.

I heard the report of my subordinates that this time I gained a lot, and I caught two little girls at once, who happened to be ten years old, not to mention the cuteness of Yuxue, but also rare twins, the two are almost identical, standing together, it is a pair of exquisite jade girls, although they are dressed in tatters, but they can't hide the natural beauty. At that time, the two little girls were carrying water, and when they saw it, they knew that the prince must like it, so they were immediately taken back and locked up in his usual garden.

The prince couldn't stand it when he heard it, and he couldn't wait to go to the other garden immediately, he had been a vegetarian for more than a year, and sometimes he was really scratching his liver and uncomfortable, and when he heard that it was a pair of Yuxue's lovely twins, he immediately left the East Palace.

The prince's hand pressed under him, just thinking about what was going to happen later, he began to be irrepressibly excited, twins, how rare, if they bear it together, his energy is scattered among two people, each little girl bears half, maybe both can survive.

The prince leaned comfortably against the wall of the car behind him, and began to think seriously, if they could not bear it, or he should restrain himself a little, and not kill people, so that he would keep the twins in the garden, and he could come every other way, after all, they were only ten years old, and they could be fresh for a year.

In the garden

The two little girls curled up on the ground, Erping hugged the trembling Sanping tightly, and scolded in a low voice: "Don't let you come, you have to follow, and now you are scared like this." When the people come, you shrink back, don't go forward! ”

Sanping looked at Erping with tears in her eyes, "That thief killed the eldest sister, even if I am scared to death, I will seek revenge on him!" I'm timid, but so many years of hard work has not fallen, although the second sister is powerful, the thief is a martial artist, the bow and horse are skilled, and the strength must be much greater than the second sister, the two of us together, the odds are greater. ”

Erping was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Even if we kill him, we can't leave, I don't know what kind of death it will be when the time comes, I want you to stay alive." "Killing the crown prince of the dynasty, the two of them will not be too much to be Ling Chi.

"Whether it's life or death, I'll accompany the second sister." Sanping's trembling little hand grabbed Erping, "This time, the two of us sisters work together to avenge the eldest sister!" ”
