"Hahahaha~ Do any of you want to buy her? The price is not high, fifty taels of silver is enough, there is a small one here, don't say that I Li San does not pay attention to benevolence and righteousness, who let the father of the two of them owe us the silver of the gambling house.

This so-called debt repayment is a matter of course, their father can't afford to pay it back, and voluntarily uses their sisters to pay off their debts, which has nothing to do with me Li San, if anyone present is willing to spend money to buy them, I will naturally be happy.

Fifty taels per person, if I can buy the two sisters together, how about I Li San receive ten taels less silver? Got something to buy? Hurry up, if no one buys it, we will have to send the two of them to the Manchun Building in the county seat. ”

The man in the gambling hall smiled very arrogantly, and shouted at the crowd watching the excitement, although his mouth was full of benevolence, but the expression on his face was obviously not like that.

Sure enough, when the onlookers heard the offer, they immediately retreated in fright, as if they were afraid of getting into big trouble.

Are you kidding? A girl sells for fifty taels of silver, which is definitely a high price, and now to buy a maid in the tooth shop, it is at most ten taels of silver, even to buy a male slave who can manage things, it is only twenty taels.

But now an ordinary girl costs fifty taels of silver? Is this buying a maid? I'm afraid I bought an ancestor to go back, right? The countryside just buys a woman to go back to the family and inherit the family for only two or three taels of silver, how many women can be bought in these fifty taels?

Are they stupid, and they are so panicked that they have more money than they are willing to spend fifty taels of silver just to buy a maid?

Isn't this what is wronged? They're not happy.

Seeing this scene, the eldest girl with her wrists tied hurriedly rushed forward and asked for help from the onlookers.

"Childe, you can do well, buy the little girl, I am willing to repay your kindness for the rest of my life!"

"This lord, please, I can do everything, and I don't eat much"

"Lang Jun, you can help me~ I don't want to be sold into the Qinglou, I just want to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain"

"This big brother, can you buy the little girl? I know how to cook as a female celebrity, and I can do housework."

The eldest girl had red eyes, a slightly white face, a few teardrops stained from the corners of her eyes, her hair was slightly messy, and her thin body trembled slightly.

She lingered in the crowd, constantly tugging at people's sleeves with both hands and begging bitterly, but she was repeatedly rejected by the other party.

"Hey~ It's really pitiful, there are still people who are willing to pay for fifty taels of silver, but fifty taels of silver to buy a girl, who is happy."

Looking at this scene, Sister-in-law Wu couldn't bear to sigh, it was not that she deliberately belittled women, but in this world, girls are not worth much, and there is really a shortage of maids and daughters-in-law who serve people, wouldn't it be more cost-effective to go to the human market or tooth shop?

Hearing this, Xia Ning couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, "Sister-in-law Wu, do you really think that girl is very pitiful?" ”

"Huh? She is about to be sold into the Qinglou, isn't it pitiful? ”

Sister-in-law Wu was stunned, if this is not pitiful, what is pitiful?

How important is a woman's name, even if she is widowed and married, no one will say anything, but unless the woman who comes out of the Qinglou is the kind of poor old bachelor and widower who is willing to take her into the door, no one who can get by will want it.

A smile tugged at the corner of Xia Ning's mouth, "Didn't you notice?" ”

"Found what?" Sister-in-law Wu's eyes rolled, and her curiosity was completely pinched.

Xia Ning whispered, "Didn't you notice that the people that girl was holding were all younger, well-dressed men who looked good?" ”

"Seems so, is there something wrong with that?"

Sister-in-law Wu looked puzzled, she didn't quite understand what the problem was, but she knew that Miss Xia was not an ordinary woman, since she said so, there must be something wrong with it that she didn't see.

Seeing that the other party didn't notice it, Xia Ning was not surprised, after all, the ancients had too few routines, and most of the minds of ordinary people were still simple and simple, how could they see the twists and turns?

To be honest, Xia Ning was also a little surprised, but she didn't expect that the stalks of modern play really made her meet in ancient times, which is really interesting.

"You said that the big girl would rather sell herself as a slave than be sent to the Qinglou, so wouldn't selling it to anyone get her out of trouble? But why did she only look for young and well-dressed men? ”

"This" Sister-in-law Wu was directly asked, she frowned and thought carefully about Miss Xia's words, she didn't think much about it, she didn't think it was anything, but when Miss Xia said this, the more she thought about it, the more wrong it became.

"Ouch hey! It's such a thing to dare to love, ho! I really didn't see it, this girl didn't look very old, she didn't expect to have so many eyes, and she was almost deceived by her, phew! ”

After all, Sister-in-law Wu is also in her thirties, and she is also a woman, so some of her thoughts can't stand scrutiny, plus Xia Ning's nudge, she quickly reacted.

Xia Ning smiled lightly, "See what?" ”

"Well, it's good that you saw through her mind, otherwise we would still be fooled by her." Sister-in-law Wu was very annoyed, she Wang Chunmei was deceived by a little girl, and she didn't even notice the other party's thoughts.

This girl really played everyone around, thanks to everyone's sympathy for her, and indignant for her fate, daring to love the goal of the family.

"Actually, it can be understood, after all, everyone has a love for beauty, this man likes young and beautiful girls, women naturally like young and handsome men, she wants to fight for a better future for herself, it is also human nature, who doesn't want to live a good life?"

Xia Ning's expression was indifferent, and the tone of her voice was also light, as if there was no trace of emotion.

In fact, she felt a little sad for the women of this era in her heart, but if they could have one more choice, they would not be so 'practiced' themselves.

For example, the eldest lady of the Cao family, to be honest, she didn't dislike the other party much, on the contrary, she also understood what Cao Yingying did, but she didn't agree with some of her practices.

Understanding and agreeing are two different things.

The women of this era are basically enclosed in the backyard of the one acre and three points of land, which is destined to their vision and knowledge are very limited, coupled with the ancient women are paying attention to the bad custom of 'no talent is virtue', and they don't even know a few big characters.

These brains are not completely 'enlightened', what kind of autonomy can be expected from them? They can only grow up under the rules of feudal dogma.

For them, when they encounter such a major event as a family accident, the only way they can think of is to marry someone and find a man to survive.
