"Hello uncle, the little girl wants to buy a slave girl with you, how about it?"

As she spoke, she waved her hand to signal Bai Lu to take out the money bag. In the blink of an eye, she already had an extra bag of copper coins in her hand.

The leading groom saw that she had taken out the money happily, and his face softened a little, and he seemed to be quite interested in this business.

"Little lady, these female slaves can indeed be traded, but well, orchids are precious, not to mention that these are carefully selected, white-skinned and beautiful orchids, they are all to be sent to the homes of high-ranking officials and nobles in Chang'an, and this small bag of copper coins is probably far from enough......"

"Good uncle, you give a price for the right words, and I will decide the glamorous orchid in the back."

The leading groom followed her gaze and looked back, his figure was slightly stunned, why was it her! That woman's path is different!

He narrowed his eyes and shook his head helplessly: "Alas, lady, it's not a villain, I don't want to sell this lady to you, but she has already been booked by someone at a great price, do you want to stop looking at other gentle and lovely orchid ladies......"

"Uncle, let's take a step to speak." Yao Yun interrupted him and waved his hand to signal him to take a step forward, "Uncle, this lady's appearance is just in the heart of my family's merry husband, and my husband will definitely like it very much." Everyone is buying and selling, and it has always been the one who has the highest price. I don't know if you are satisfied with such a price? ”

She took out two gold ingots from under her sleeves and shook them a few times in front of his eyes.

The leading groom's eyes lit up, and his expression was hesitant, these two gold ingots had greatly exceeded the deposit given to him by the previous person, could he not be moved!

"Alas, since I have nothing to do with the little girl, then I will give up......"

Yao Yun sighed helplessly, and wanted to raise her hand to retrieve the two gold ingots, but unfortunately her hand had not yet touched it, and the leading groom grabbed the heavy gold ingots violently, and bowed his hand resignedly.

"Lady, what are these words? The one with the highest price gets it, and this orchid is naturally your lady. ”

He waved his hand neatly at the man behind him, and the designated Orchid Lady was sent to her.

Yao Yun saw that the group left the inn with a swagger and a spring breeze, so he quickly led the orchid lady into the carriage, and at the same time ordered Xiao Shishi and Xue Huai to leave quickly.

The orchid lady still had tears on her cheeks, and she was frightened, and she sat in the carriage and galloped down the dirt road for a while, before finally panting and crying.

"Thank you, thank you, Xuanniang, I, I can't repay it, my life is all your lady......"

Yao Yun saw that she had finally recovered, breathed a sigh of relief, and handed her a piece of naan wrapped in an embroidered handkerchief and kraft paper.

"Shopkeeper lady, wipe your face and eat something first, fill your stomach and then talk about it."

The shopkeeper wiped her stained cheeks vigorously and ate the naan in a big gulp. For the past seven or eight days, I have been expelled and hurried, and I have not eaten enough and slept well.

"Come, let's drink a few more sips of warm tea to moisten my throat."

"Thank you, lady."

After a long time, the shopkeeper filled her stomach and gasped, and finally leaned on the soft corner of the side of the carriage and fell asleep peacefully.

It turned out that the shopkeeper's name was Xuan Niang. Since they left that day, she has been in pain, so naturally she stopped using the expensive peach blossom smoke powder. After her old friend came, she asked him what this peach blossom smoke powder was, and she never thought that the two would tear their faces under the dispute. It turned out that the old man flattered her and treated her well, just for the sake of the small inn in the deserted north.

Later, in the middle of the night, in a daze and weak, she seemed to be tied up and carried out of the inn. When she woke up again, her black hair had been dyed a dull yellow color, mixed in with a group of orchids, whipped and driven away.

She has bitter words, her heart is like ashes, and she thinks that she was sold by that old friend to those traffickers who sold female slaves in the Western Regions.

Before dark, the group finally returned to the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate.

"Yao Niangzi, this, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, now that I'm saved, I'd better go back to my inn first, that inn is the only thing that my Aya Aniang left me, no matter what, I must get it back."

Yao Yun enthusiastically pulled her into the Duhu Mansion, and did not forget to comfort her frequently along the way: "Xuanniang, it is even more inappropriate for you to go back to the inn rashly as a lonely lady, tomorrow I will send someone to inquire first, and then make plans after inquiring clearly." This inn is yours, and you must get it back, but don't rush it. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, then I'll bother Mrs. Yao for a few days."

She touched the corners of her eyes, which were dry and red from crying, and finally settled down with peace of mind.

The wind is frightened, and the snow is full of snow.

It's only been half a month, and this Beiting Protectorate has been covered by a vast snowfall, with snow drifting, piles of silver and jade, and thousands of miles of ice. As the saying goes, the snow is a good year, and I hope that the coming year will also be a safe harvest.

News also came from the other end of Xuanniang's inn, and the inn had really been pocketed by her old friend. It's a pity that the snow is falling heavily now, and the mountain roads are difficult to walk, so we can only wait for the next year to think about it in the long run.

Xuan Niang is worthy of being a shopkeeper who does practical things, and she is handy and handy in settling accounts. Yao Yun often took the initiative to consult her about farmland management and shop ledgers, and now she has made a lot of progress.

Early in the morning of this day, Yao Yun led his subordinates to guard in front of the gate of the Beiting Metropolitan Mansion. She shook her stiff feet, her ermine gloves and the green jade fingers of the stove rubbed back and forth to keep warm, and her fair face was frozen red, and now it was as pink and shiny as two gorgeous little peaches.

Seeing that she was so persistent, Xuanniang ordered someone to fetch an extra carbon stove to keep warm.

Bai Lu exhaled cold air, and had already taken the fourth pot of hot tea and distributed it to the people behind him.

"Mrs. Yao, it's almost noon, why don't you warm up in the house first, and I'll guard it for you."

Xuanniang hurriedly covered the already cold hand stove in her hand, and her eyes were full of distress.

"It's all right, I'm going to meet them myself. If they don't see me, they'll be scared and panicked. ”

Yao Yun declined her kindness and stood firmly in front of the door like a big Buddha. She has been guarding the door like this for three days in a row, and it is estimated that the day should be almost up.

Pedal - pedal – pedal

In the white snow, two horse-drawn carriages with thin and simple, black and gray as ink gradually emerged.

Yao Yun could see the familiar face of the driver clearly.

"It's Xiao An! Soon, they're here and ready to get their pedals ready. ”

Xiao An was overjoyed and waved vigorously in the direction of Yao Yun and his party. Xiao Langjun in the carriage couldn't hold it anymore, and before the carriage could stop steadily, he hurriedly poked his head out and beckoned.
