Zhu Hao and Tang Yin went to the local population market.

Looking at the people who were sticking grass labels all the way to sell their sons and daughters, Zhu Hao couldn't help but feel sad, many of them were not refugees from Jiangxi, they were poor for various reasons, and they couldn't support their wives and children, so they could only sell the children who couldn't afford to raise their families, and at the same time save a bowl of rice for the family, they could also make some money through buying and selling to subsidize their families.

None of them thought about redeeming the child.

Zhu Hao finally felt how difficult it was to change an era, and there was a long way to go.

Among the children sold, the boys are generally younger, and there are swaddling ones, and the girls are mostly seven or eight years old, and there are fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls who are about to get married.

"Alas!"

Zhu Hao let out a long sigh, looked back at Tang Yin, and found that Tang Yin's eyes were dull, and his thoughts were not on these girls at all.

Zhu Hao chose for a long time, and finally took a fancy to a person with good clothes of good material, but after a closer look, he found that there were a few patches on it, and at first glance it was a girl from a declining family.

"Are you the child's relatives?"

Zhu Hao asked.

When questioned, the man was a philistine with a market vendor: "Many families don't have the face to come out and sell their children, so they bother us to help out...... These girls are not abducted, and besides, this girl on the street can't afford to raise them, who has the heart to abduct them? I beg to kidnap people, but I don't want to. ”

In the era of backward social productive forces, the fate of girls is becoming more and more miserable, and it has become an honor to be abducted.

"But let's talk about the ugly thing in the front, the girl's family said that they can't be sold to small households and croppers to go back to be mothers-in-law, and they must only be sold to large families, whether they are girls or concubines, they don't have to suffer too much...... Do you buy it or not? Yazi's gaze glanced at Tang Yin.

Zhu Hao and Tang Yin's clothes are shiny, and at first glance, they are scholars with identity and status, and the tooth seller naturally does not think that a child is the main customer.

Yu San scolded sharply beside him: "What are you calling? Don't let our little proprietor think about it? ”

Yu San is usually not arrogant and domineering, but according to him, when you are traveling, you must have momentum, otherwise others will think that you are a bully, and many unwarranted troubles will come to the door.

It's like this population market, there are a lot of eyes staring at the back, seeing the big guy who came to buy people, thinking that it was a big fat sheep that could be handled by outsiders, so he secretly followed and followed, and when the moon was dark and the wind was high, there was a robbery, murder, and people and goods were swallowed, which was not uncommon.

In an era when a person's life is like an ant, even if there is a murder, does the government have the mind to take care of it? In the end, it was just classified as an unsolved case, and no one paid attention to it since.

Zhu Hao looked at the girl, the girl didn't dare to look up to see who was asking, maybe with her thoughts, she was dead.

"How's the hands and feet? Will you serve people? ”

Yu San asked.

"Serving people will naturally ...... I said, do you buy it or not? If you don't buy it, give it to someone else...... At present, the people who fled from Jiangxi have basically begun to return, and you can't buy it if you want to buy it in a few days...... Two taels of silver, do you have any money? "Yazi is unforgiving.

Zhu Hao wanted to bargain, but when he saw the girl's pitiful appearance, he was a little soft-hearted for a while, and waved his hand to Yu San, who hurriedly said: "Take a look at the deed of sale, and set up the deed...... Do you have a family member? Don't you have time to say hello to your family? ”

"You ......"

The other party didn't expect Yu San to be an expert.

Yu Sanjiao said: "You don't inquire, Anlu and the surrounding prefectures and counties, who doesn't know who I am Yu San?" This is not yet out of the boundary...... You came to this place to sell people, and you didn't ask for directions first? ”

When the other party heard this, he was timid, and hurriedly put on a smile.

This kind of performance can only prove that this tooth is really a foreigner, and it is estimated that he is specially helping his fellow villagers sell their population, although he has never heard of what Yu San is, but he saluted again and again: "It turned out to be Yu in charge, I have heard of the name for a long time, you don't have to embarrass us errand villains." ”

If you have a business to do, it's no problem when you are an ancestor to offer!

Besides, this group of people is really an alien population, they covet the wallets of the locals, and the local gangs are still watching their every move.

Zhu Hao said: "Little third brother, I'll leave it to you here, in addition to this, you can help buy a maid from a small family to come back, you must be diligent and able to endure hardships...... My husband and I went back, and you two stayed behind to help. Zhu Hao left all the guards he brought, and returned to the inn with Tang Yin and his guards.

……

……

Tang Yin's mind is now on Lou Suzhen.

Zhu Hao thought about it, that was a woman who was almost out of reach for Tang Yin, even if they were each other's masters and apprentices, but unfortunately the famous flower had already had a master, Tang Yin definitely didn't dare to move his mind, he knew very well that even if he was moved, it would be a flower in the mirror, and the moon in the water, so he could only sigh in vain.

As a result, now that fate is turning, Tang Yin suddenly found that his former dream was within reach, but he knew that time had changed, and the relationship between them could not be as unrestrained as before, and no matter what, his old bones could not take advantage of others...... What's more, even if he wants to hug the beauty, but Lou Suzhen has just experienced a catastrophe, will he be given this opportunity?

At this time, Tang Yin's inner entanglement, even through the two belly, Zhu Hao could clearly feel it.

"Sir, don't talk nonsense when you go back, I won't go with you to see Concubine Lou, but you must remember that everything is your clever plan...... Remember the poem I asked you to write earlier? You said that you realized the situation in her heart, and you wrote that poem...... Even if they are thousands of miles apart, they feel the same way...... The rest is up to you. ”

……

……

Return to the inn.

Zhu Hao asked Tang Yin to go upstairs alone.

Zhu Hao didn't want to pay attention to what happened in the room between Tang Yin and Lou Suzhen......

Having said that, Tang Yin is not young, and Lou Suzhen is not a young man, with their age, can't they still see all kinds of things in the world?

Especially Tang Yin, how many things has he experienced in history?

A desolate old poor sour for half a life, give him a home, can he afford it?

Besides, Lou Suzhen doesn't seem to be a kind person who sends warmth, right? Lou Suzhen's husband and children are not dead yet, so she entrusts others to herself?

When he saw Tang Yin again, Yu San happened to come back with the newly bought maid, in addition to the girl who seemed to be in a declining family before, there was also a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl who was of marriage age at a glance.

After asking, I found out that this girl had also been a maid for a few years for a big family, and she knew the rules very well, and she was more able to serve people than the one Zhu Hao had taken a fancy to before...... It is equivalent to a veteran leading a newbie.

"You go to the upstairs room, find the store to fetch water and shower, change into the clean and tidy clothes I asked people to buy, and then you can get to work......"

Zhu Hao said to the two girls: "Your task is to take care of the lady in the upper room, and you must not be slacking off in the slightest, understand?" ”

The two girls hurriedly leaned over.

Yu Sandao: "The little owner, although the deed of sale has been signed, the government has not yet passed the citizenship." ”

Zhu Hao nodded: "When you pass by Xiangyang City tomorrow, junior brother, you take someone to the official mansion and check up and down...... Tell them that I will pay them two cents of silver a month, and after three or five years of work, I will give them back their freedom...... If you cheat and cheat, you should be punished, and if your hands and feet are not clean...... Severe punishment will not be loaned! ”

When Zhu Hao spoke, he deliberately said it loudly so that both girls could hear it clearly.

This kind of girl who is sold has a lot of money every month, and the conditions are too good for them, and the master also said that they can change their free body in three or five years, although it is only a verbal promise, but if the master family does not have this intention, there is no need to mention the matter of money and the return of freedom.

Then the slaves took them upstairs to clean their bodies and put on new clothes.

"Little owner, when I came back, I found that someone was following ......"

Yu San was about to remind, but Zhu Hao interrupted him: "You go directly to Lao Lu and tell him that he will solve the difficult things, as long as he is not from Xiangwangfu." ”

From Anlu along the official road to the north, will definitely pass through Xiangyang City, because there was a festival between the Xing Wangfu and the Xiangwang Mansion, the most afraid is that the Xiangwang Mansion sent someone to find trouble, but it seems that the Xiangwang Mansion does not know about Tang Yin and Zhu Hao going north, after all, the official convoy set off one step earlier, so this kind of thing is just careful.

……

……

When Yu San went to talk to Lu Song, Zhu Hao called Tang Yin to the guest room on the first floor.

"What's wrong?"

Zhu Hao asked, "You didn't say anything, did you?" ”

Tang Yin sighed, and there were obvious tear stains in the corners of his eyes.

Zhu Hao said: "Don't be sad, sir, seeing Mr. like this, it seems that he has cried." ”

Tang Yin glared at Zhu Hao and said, "What if the eldest husband cries twice?" Seeing the old people, things are not people, isn't it worth feeling nostalgic? ”

"I don't mean to laugh at Mr. 1, I just want to know how Mr. is in his mood at the moment...... As the saying goes, men don't flick when they have tears, just because they haven't reached the sad place, the gentleman and the old man meet each other, and they reach the sad place...... Naturally, you can hug your head and cry. Zhu Hao explained.

"You kid, you always talk strangely, what do you mean when a man has tears and doesn't flick?"

Tang Yin pondered the sentence that Zhu Hao came up with, and suddenly found that it was very philosophical, and it was appropriate to describe his mentality.

Zhu Hao said: "What did Mr. say to her?" ”

"She meant to go north together to help me complete the task of assisting the prince, but my thoughts ...... It's that she has some adventures in the north, so it's better to find a place to settle down halfway, and when we go south, pick her up and return to Anlu together. ”

Tang Yin said his plan.

Zhu Hao shook his head: "It's not appropriate, with her being a weak woman, she has no relatives and stays in a strange place, which will only be more dangerous." If you really think about her, let her be with us, otherwise who can know what you will be like when you see her again? I'll help you make a decision, let her go north with us to Jingshi, she is now under my name, and I have the final say. ”

Zhu Hao wants to remind Tang Yin that people are now tantamount to defecting to you, the only relative and friend who can take her in.

You left her in the place, or out of good intentions, but people will also think that you are afraid of being affected by her, plus the family has suffered drastic changes, there are no relatives around, and there is no one to talk to, so you are not afraid that she will not be able to think about it for a while and jump into the river for the second time?

You are old and poor, you really don't understand the heart of a woman, you deserve to be lonely when you are old.

Give you a chance you don't know how to grasp it!
