When the little girl heard that she was going to sell her mother, she hugged the old woman's thigh and cried:

"Grandma, don't sell my mother! Let them go and get my dad back. ”

"Your dad is dead!"

The old woman was angry and angry, and pulled the little girl's hair a few times.

The shopkeeper and Xiaoshi wanted to stop it, but the grandmother taught her granddaughter a lesson, and outsiders were not good at interfering.

- In this society, even if the father and mother beat their children to death, it is also a family matter.

Little Stone walked into the inn. The old woman and the little girl wanted to follow up, but were stopped by the shopkeeper.

Xinglong Inn is a relatively good inn in the county, and people in ragged clothes like the old woman and the little girl are not allowed to enter.

Although the old woman is fierce to her granddaughter, this is the county seat, and they are from the mountain village, so they dare not make a mistake here. Seeing that the other party was not interested in buying people, he dragged his granddaughter back.

Little Stone came to Fang Yu's room and knocked on the door.

"Brother Fang, the clothes have been bought."

In the room, Fang Yu was hugging Chen Xiao to comfort. Such a handsome man, Chen Xiao was a little overwhelmed. She felt that Fang Yu had multiple personalities living in her body, one would be mature and steady, one would be naïve and clingy, and the other would be evil and domineering. Of course, it is mainly because he has Zhang Jun's beauty, otherwise Chen Xiao would not have eaten this set.

Hearing the knock on the door, Chen Xiao pushed Fang Yu away, got up and tidied up his clothes.

Fang Yu was a little disappointed, and he almost let her touch it. But even if you touch it, you can't do anything, this is an inn, and he still has some cleanliness.

Chen Xiao went to open the door.

"Sister." Xiao Shi was not surprised that Sister Chen was in Brother Fang's room. Before leaving, she was helping Brother Fang clean his wounds. It's just that this cleanup took too long.

"Brother Fang, the clothes have been bought."

He put his clothes beside the bed and said:

"I was at the door of the inn just now, and I met two people from Mutang Village."

Little Stone told the little girl's family about it.

"Sister, why don't you buy their mother and daughter! Her mother only needs forty taels of silver, and she can work. In the future, we will also need people in the restaurant. And you don't have to pay her. Little Stone added.

Chen Xiao was puzzled: "She can earn forty taels of silver by helping people work, why did her mother-in-law sell her?" ”

Xiaoshi pouted: "Sister, do you think that every store is the same as us, giving the guy such a high salary!" ”

"Ruyi Lou and Sheng'an, don't they also pay their wages like this?" Chen Xiaodao.

"Sister, do you know how difficult it is to enter Ruyi Building and Sheng'an as a buddy! The old ones don't accept them, those who are too young, those who are not smart enough, those who are not good-looking, those who can't read, and those who are too poor at home. ”

The corners of Chen Xiao's mouth twitched: "According to what you say, I gave you a high salary?" Or do you want to go back and change it? ”

"Don't!" Xiao Shi suddenly smiled flatteringly: "Like me, you can enter the Ruyi Lou Sheng'an." ”

"But your wages are too high." Chen Xiao teased him.

"You get what you pay for!" Xiao Shi laughed for a moment, and then said seriously: "Sister, you may not know much about the mountain people, they have very little income a year. If nothing else, look at Chunhong's house. Before she was with you, I'm afraid she hadn't even seen the whole silver. "The so-called whole silver is a silver ingot of ten taels and one ingots.

Chen Xiao remembered that they had spent the night at Sister Pu's house at the earliest, and they couldn't even find a piece or two pieces of silver.

Xiaoshi said: "Actually, I am a poor little girl. It's just that it's useless to buy a little girl of seven or eight years old, so ...... Sister, why don't you buy their mother and daughter? ”

Chen Xiao frowned: "The guy recruited, if it's not suitable, you can change it." If the guy you bought, if it's not suitable, will you sell it again? ”

Xiaoshi: "Yes, if it's not suitable, sell it." ”

Chen Xiao shook his head disapprovingly.

Xiaoshi said: "Otherwise, sister, you can borrow my silver, and I will buy it." ”

Chen Xiao looked at him strangely.

Xiao Shi said: "Stupid people have the use of stupid people, and smart people have the use of smart people." I haven't met her mother, but it should be okay to let her do some rough work. The little girl is still young and can teach. ”

Chen Xiao examined the small stone. Know how to buy people at a young age? But come to think of it, his family used to be wide. If his family hadn't gone out of business, he would be a young master now.

"But where do you take it back and live?" Chen Xiao asked.

Fang Yu interjected: "If we live in one room, we can make room for it." ”

Chen Xiao glanced at him.

Fang Yudao: "We should also buy some people." Those who buy them are more faithful. ”

Xiao Shi hurriedly said: "I am also faithful!" ”

"I didn't say you." Fang Yu said to Chen Xiao: "Saving people in danger is the easiest way to gain loyalty. What's more, it's only a few dozen taels of silver. ”

Chen Xiao: "But she's not in danger!" ”

"The child is dead, the husband is dead, and the mother-in-law wants to sell her, is she not in danger?"

"But we haven't even seen anyone. What if she's not a good person? ”

"Then bring insights."

Chen Xiao respects human rights, and she doesn't really want to buy people. Just want to recruit.

She thought for a moment and said to Xiao Shi, "You go and see." If you think you can, buy it. Count as you buy. ”

Seeing that she agreed, Xiao Shi smiled and said, "Okay." I'll take a look. ”

Little Stone went out and closed the door.

Fang Yu asked, "Why don't we buy it ourselves?" ”

Chen Xiao shook his head thoughtfully and didn't speak.

She won't be here for the rest of her life, maybe in a few years. Why buy some people? They will have to be arranged when the time comes.

After thinking about it, she looked at Fang Yu. Asked:

"What will happen to you if I'm gone?"

"Where you go, where I'm going, I'll follow you anyway."

In fact, Chen Xiao only thought about asking Fang Yu to go with her, as for the others, she was not the Guanyin Bodhisattva who purified all sentient beings.

……

In the evening, Chen Xiao, Fang Yu, Cao Yong, and Xiaoshi had dinner in the inn.

Xiaoshi went to see it, and the woman she wanted to sell was named Liu Qiao, she was okay, and she looked quite responsible. Her daughter's name is Zhang Zhaodi, and she is seven years old. Her mother-in-law only wants to sell her daughter-in-law, not her granddaughter.

Xiao Shi persuaded him to pay sixty taels of silver to buy the mother and daughter, if it was just Liu Qiao, he wouldn't buy it.

The old woman was a little moved, and said let her think about it.

Xiao Shi said that if he wanted to sell it, he would bring it to the inn tonight. They may be gone tomorrow.

Cao Yong joked about Xiaoshi: "You want to buy a daughter-in-law, plus a mother-in-law." ”

Little Stone slapped him: "What nonsense! So little girl, I would look good? I see them pitiful. ”

The two laughed and laughed. Cao Yong was two years older than Xiao Shi, and he felt in his heart that Xiao Shi seemed to be older than him. Xiaoshi is just young, but his mind is very mature.

Several people were chatting while eating, and the innkeeper came over with three people.

"Young Master Fang, Lord Feng is looking for you."

Fang Yu turned around and saw County Lieutenant Feng wearing his regular clothes.

The two people who followed him, Fang Yu had seen in the yamen, were two officials. However, at this time, they also took off their official uniforms and changed into their usual clothes.
