Chapter 11: Distraught

"Miss, you are so angry at home, you will only hurt your own body, Nan'er heard that a new blacksmith shop has recently opened in Jiankang City, and the craftsmanship of the weapons in it is extremely excellent, why don't we go out and take a walk?"

Nan'er stood beside Yu Wenjun and persuaded her, since His Royal Highness and the general left yesterday, the young lady's face is not very good-looking, and she didn't even eat morning tea today.

The carriage drove slowly towards the blacksmith's shop.

There were people on the street, and the carriage couldn't drive when it reached the intersection, so the two had to get out of the car and walk.

But I don't want someone to sit there and carefully select weapons.

Yu Wenjun probably glanced at it, well, it is indeed well-made.

"What do you want?" The blacksmith asked.

"We'll pick carefully."

Moment.

"Please wrap this and that one up for me." Yu Wenjun commanded.

As he spoke, he handed the picked one to the store, and the store immediately turned around and asked Xiao Er to pack it after receiving the order.

Yu Wenjun and the maid Nan'er walked on the road, although they were both wearing men's clothes, but they still attracted the attention of many girls.

"Nan'er, keep up." As if hearing something, Yu Wenjun hurriedly shouted.

The other side.

After eating morning tea, Sima Shao took the maids and guards out of the palace for a walk on the street.

When I walked to a relatively remote alleyway, I heard a burst of laughter in front of me.

By the way, and the woman's screams.

Sima Shao walked forward curiously, of course, with the guards, he dared to be so bold.

I saw that the other end of the laneway, about 50 meters apart, was staged, and it turned out to be a scene of a ruthless father selling his daughter.

The middle-aged man pushed away the dissuading crowd next to him, grabbed his daughter's sleeve, and said viciously: "You follow your mother, you are a rare beauty, your mother gave birth to you and died." Although I didn't like you since I was a child, I also pulled you up. ”

"Don't, don't." The woman cried.

"I originally wanted to wait for you to be older and send you to a big family as a concubine. I didn't think I've lost too much recently, don't blame my father, if I don't sell you, I can only pay off my debts with my life. ”

Then, without saying anything, he dragged her to Yihong Courtyard regardless of it.

The woman screamed and asked for help from the passers-by, but the people around her just shook their heads and sighed.

Hey, these days have seen a lot of poor families selling their daughters, and they have long been surprised.

Here Sima Shao and the others took a few looks, Ying'er frowned and said in a low voice: "How can there be such a person, even his own daughter is ruthless to sell ......"

"Let's go, let's take a look." Sima Shao said to the maid beside him.

The old bustard in Yihong Courtyard saw the woman brought by the middle-aged man, although she cried a handful of snot and tears, but she looked like a good seedling, she pinched Su Qing's face, touched her body, and asked, "How old is it?" ”

The man sneered beside him, "It's eleven after this year." ”

"I'm a little older, so let's give you six taels of silver for the sake of her good looks, how about it?"

Listening to the old bustard's words, the middle-aged man's face was ugly. He owes ten taels of silver for gambling debts alone, six taels? He can't even afford to pay off his gambling debts.

"At least fifteen taels, this child has been white since she was a child, I originally planned to send her to a big family as a concubine......"

Watching them haggle as if they were discussing goods, the girl only felt disillusioned.

was sold into a green building as a prostitute, and her life came to an end, did she really want to live such a miserable life?

She fantasized that someone from heaven would save her from this cave......

Sima Shao and his entourage saw the father and daughter enter Yihong Courtyard, and they also came in immediately.

When the old bustard saw someone coming in, his eyes lit up and he walked with a bewitching gait.

This leader is a boy who is dressed in white like snow and has a jade tree in the wind.

Looking at the bulging money bag around his waist, he knew that this was a big fat sheep, and he had to take it.

Thinking of doing it, the old bustard stopped the group with a smile on his face: "This son is very eye-catching, so handsome, come in and have fun." Jing'er and Juan'er came out to pick up the guests. As he spoke, he grabbed Sima Shao's arm tightly.

Yu Wenjun, who was following the woman's cry, came to the door of Yihong Courtyard.

saw the scene at a glance, Sima Shao was tightly pulled by the old bustard.

She was very angry, her beautiful eyes shot a dangerous light, she looked at something sharply, took out a dart from her waist and shot it violently, shooting the old bustard's head flower away.

The old bustard was so frightened that he screamed and fainted.

"There are assassins, protect Your Highness."

The guards hidden in the crowd surrounded the Yihong Courtyard.

Sima Shao looked down at the dart, which read "Yu" impressively.....

He probably knew who it was, and glanced at the crowd, as if it was the reason why the woman was dressed as a man, and he didn't see Yu Wenjun.

He actually had the feeling of being a thief.

"Alright, it's fine. There is a false alarm, and you will come in with me. After speaking, he walked into the Yihong courtyard, and what happened outside was reported inside on the spot, and all the girls looked at the guards with knives in their hands and Sima Shao who was surrounded by the guards in the middle.

"Was there a woman who was sold here?" No one answered.

Sima Shao took out a gold ingot from the money bag and said loudly: "We are not bad people, we just want to see that woman." ”

"I know, that girl has just signed the deed of sale, and she should be locked up in the firewood room at this time." The woman who spoke looked straight at the gold on the table.

"Take us to her, and if you find the gold, it will be yours. But if you dare to deceive me, the end will be ugly. Sima Shao said with a slight threat.

Outside the firewood house.

"Open." With that, the guard next to Sima Shao cut the door lock with a single sword.

The woman on the faΓ§ade was still in tears, and when she heard the sound, she looked up at the man in white who was surrounded in the middle, and he looked like he was about ten years old, about the same age as her. A pair of eyes seemed to be deep pools, just standing there quietly, but she felt a great pressure, and she couldn't breathe.

"You're free, I'll pay the ransom for you." Sima Shao said gently.

The woman said with a look of disbelief: "Thank you for saving your life, the little woman has nothing to repay, but to make a promise." As he spoke, he blushed.

This is indeed a world of faces, and it was the same in ancient times.

If she is not handsome, I am afraid that the woman will say: "The grace of saving her life, the little woman has nothing to repay, but to be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay this great kindness."

She's hungry for me, well, yes. Sima Shao thought secretly.

He really didn't want this damn charm that had nowhere to put it!

β€œ......”

It was late at night, the lights were mostly out, and most of the city had gone to sleep.

The night was as cold as water, and the tide of longing slowly surged from an unknown corner of my heart, beating my sleepless heart.

Yu Wenjun tossed and turned on the couch, always unable to sleep peacefully. The scene of Sima Shao being held by the old bustard in Yihong Courtyard has always been imprinted in her mind, and she can't look at it for a long time.

Am I not beautiful? Or I'm not gentle enough, he would go to Yihong Courtyard to find those unclean women.

Tomorrow I will definitely find Sima Shao for a reasonable explanation!

In an instant, this thought came to her heart, and it lingered.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.....
