There were musicians in the private rooms, and most of the musicians in such places were men.

These Bodhisattva barbarian male slaves are still very young, and they even look a little innocent and immature, their long hair is black and slightly curly, because they do not understand etiquette, so they are draped loosely on their backs, and they are like flowing water along their spines, and these slaves have some whip marks on them, but they fall on the dark wheat skin, which is more wild.

Xue Yuxiao said to the young man before, "You let them come over and talk." ”

The boy leaned over and said something to the slave in the lead. The male slave nodded respectfully, walked to Xue Yuxiao's side, and suddenly knelt down against her long skirt. He didn't wear a shirt, and his skin rubbed against her gorgeous pomegranate skirt - he knew that women who could wear such bright colors were nobles, so he tried harder to curry favor, put his head on her lap, held Xue Yuxiao's hand, and let her touch his face.

At this moment, even Xue Yuxiao, who had always been in danger, was stunned by the shock, her hand was grabbed, and she felt that this arm was almost no longer her own, so she had to say to herself in her heart: This is a business matter, you have to be calm, she has lived for two lifetimes, and she has never seen any scenes.

…… She really didn't seem to have seen this meeting.

Xue Yuxiao didn't speak, and the male slave thought that he wasn't good enough. They have become accustomed to showing their chests and bellies in front of women, and shame has long been left behind. So he quickly lowered himself again, hung his head and rubbed her ankles like a little beast begging for mercy, and held the embroidered shoes of the noble lady, and let her step on him.

The others were not idle, some people went to serve Li Furong, but they were glared at by Furong Niang and didn't dare to step forward.

Xue Yuxiao raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, pulled him up, and said, "You sit down." ”

The male slave could understand some official words, and after looking at the face of the young man next to him, he knelt beside Xue Yuxiao's lap and did not dare to go to the couch.

"Is it just a few of you?" Xue Yuxiao asked, "Where are you from?" ”

The slave thought for a moment, stumbled and said, "Slave, from the south." And a couple of brothers...... Upstairs. ”

…… Can't even say the name of Ningzhou? Xue Yuxiao stretched out his hand to play with his curly hair, his eyebrows were gentle, and he looked very easy to speak: "I was about to buy a few male slaves and go back and let you dance for me, but you are already a cash cow for welcoming guests here, and you must be worth a lot of money." ”

The young man said from the side: "They are not expensive, if you are interested, I will ask the boss to negotiate the price with my sister." ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "Boss Zhu? It turns out that this is the property of the Shangyu Zhu family......"

As she spoke, she raised her finger and pinched the slave's chin, and the slave obediently raised her head and opened her mouth to show her teeth.

Even in people, this is the easiest way to tell age. When the young man saw her movements, he said, "He actually ......."

"Fifteen?" Xue Yuxiao said, "The teeth haven't grown yet." You flower boats let slaves under the age of fifteen pick up customers. ”

The young man explained: "My lord, although it is stipulated in the government that male slaves are first-class and supreme, men cannot sell themselves until they are sixteen years old. But these bodhisattvas are quite strong, grow quickly, and are more playful than our Jingzhao Xiaolangjun, even if they are a little younger, it is nothing, and it does not delay your use. ”

When it came to serious topics, he immediately corrected his address and stopped calling him sister.

Xue Yuxiao was noncommittal, and only said, "Please wish the boss to talk." ”

The boy bowed, turned and went out.

He gave the musician a look as he left, and the musician played. Except for the one beside Xue Yuxiao, the other male slaves danced to the music, and the bells, drums, and piano music were intertwined.

The aroma is getting stronger.

Xue Yuxiao took a sip of tea and pressed the throbbing pain in his brain. She turned sideways and whispered to Li Furong: "I'm afraid it's not good to ask, that young man came to see us, these bodhisattvas can't tell the exact location, they should have been well 'educated'." ”

Li Furong followed and lowered her voice: "Will that Zhu boss be a breakthrough?" ”

"It's hard." Xue Yuxiao said, "Although the Shangyu Zhu family is a second-class scholar, they will not let their own family personally do business and surrender their status. It should be the tenant family that the Zhu family shelters, and the stewards who are promoted to do business, if they really do business with the bandits who rob the population, they must be tight-lipped. ”

This is a set of processes that the two are very familiar with.

"What then?" Li Furong couldn't watch them dance, and felt that her eyes would be broken if she looked at them more, which was really immoral, "Just take out your identity and check the contract of sale here, I don't believe that there is no omission here, it is seamless." ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "Don't be impatient, this is the best way." Once you get to the surface, you can't find a flaw, and you can't help but startle the snake, and it may be even more difficult to get the evidence. ”

"Outsiders only say that the military government is incompetent, but they don't know our ......"

Footsteps sounded outside, and Li Furong paused.

The so-called Zhu boss is really the steward of the Shangyu Zhu family, and he is a person with a foreign surname who is sheltered by the Zhu family. The boss's name is Hongzhi, and when he laughs, he can't see his teeth, and talks to Xue Yuxiao about the price of these male slaves with a spring breeze on his face.

Xue Yuxiao seemed to be interested on the surface, but in fact, he had been looking for loopholes in the other party's words. However, the red weavers are very secretive, even in the face of the gold owner, there is no slack, only that they spent a lot of money to buy it from the Ya Po, and the Ya Po who gave examples is a well-known formal channel, implicating the interests of four or five families, which cannot be checked or proven.

Xue Yuxiao had no choice but to say: "Although I appreciate it, I want Lang Jun at home to take a look." It's not good to take it back privately. ”

Buying and selling the housekeeper, this kind of work is also within the responsibility of the righteous monarch and the housekeeper.

Red Weave was about to persuade again, when a loud bang rang out outside, mixed with a few exclamations. At the same time, a familiar voice came out—

"Who told Kangar to pick up the guests? Who doesn't know that he is something that the old lady has taken a fancy to, and the person who has been raised by my hands doesn't even ask? What rules do you have! ”

The complexion of the red weave changed. The male slave who was kneeling beside Xue Yuxiao's lap also stiffened, and when he heard the sound, he moved his position and hid on the edge of Xue Yuxiao's long skirt, eager to bury his head in the edge of her skirt and snuggle up to her legs.

What is the reaction?

Xue Yuxiao listened to this voice all the way, his face was as usual, but he didn't move. Li Furong next to her raised her eyebrows slightly, took out a short knife from her belt, and played with it in her palm.

Red Weave was oozing sweat from her forehead, and she was about to turn around to stop it. An attendant kicked open the door with a fake tiger and spoke on behalf of his master: "Our family is-"

Before she finished half a sentence, she saw Xue Yuxiao sitting on the top seat at a glance, her eyes were round, a sentence stuck in her throat was not swallowed, nor was she spitting, and she shouted loudly: "You ......"

Immediately, a kick flew from somewhere, kicked the attendant away, and the person who came was extremely arrogant and arrogant: "Why did you turn off the fire?" Useless waste, I want to see which daughter it is, the lady of gold and dignity, who can let my people go downstairs to greet Xian Mei, don't die...... ......"

The last two words fell to the ground in pieces.

Cui Mingzhu and Xue Yuxiao looked at each other, stupid for a while.

Xue Yuxiao had already heard her voice, raised his hand and yawned, and said, "Who doesn't want to die?" ”

Cui Mingzhu's anger suddenly subsided, she leaned over with a hippie smile, and raised her hand to wrap her hand around Xue Yuxiao's shoulder: "It's you, I said it earlier, I thought that someone who didn't have long eyes would touch my brow, if you like Jiayang, I'll let him serve you, what's the matter?" Good sisters also divide you and me. ”

Xue Yuxiao said expressionlessly: "You are so virtuous outside? ”

Cui Mingzhu didn't care: "I'm angry for Lan Yan, it's a romantic affair." Who came with you, Li Qing...... How are you! ”

Li Furong smiled murderously: "What a fool." ”

"Don't think that if you enter the military palace, I won't dare to beat you." Cui Mingzhu raised his eyebrows and said, "That is, for Chanjuan's face, I don't care about you." Okay, I wish the boss, it's none of your business here, the water just washed the Dragon King Temple. ”

As soon as she turned around, Xue Yuxiao gave Cui Mingzhu a look, Cui Mingzhu turned his head to look at the young man who was accompanying him next to him, and reacted quickly to take him into his arms, and said with a smile: "Good boy, why don't you usually come over to serve me?" I come on weekdays, and I can't even see your shadow. ”

And when he spoke, he took off his clothes in public.

The young man was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he bit his lip and pulled his shirt: "Cui Niangzi......"

"Alright, don't think I don't know." Cui Mingzhu smiled suddenly, patted his face, and said coldly with anger, "You don't want to serve me, but you are dangling under the noses of my friends, what do you mean, you look down on me?" No one in this world can trample on the face of the Cui family, I will spare you today, and next time, I will buy your deed and peel your skin, get out! ”

The young man looked at her with tears in his eyes, completely forgetting about acting as his eyes and ears, and hurriedly fled from Cui Mingzhu, a bad star.

Xue Yuxiao watched the whole process, and his heart was worthy of being in a group with the villain of the original book, this momentum, this level, if I were the heroine, if I didn't step on you and take a breath, the readers would not be happy.

As soon as she thought of this, Cui Mingzhu leaned over, raised her eyebrows and said, "I still understand you." But you are so honest in your mouth, how can you come to such a place? ”

Xue Yuxiao suddenly had a feeling: Hey, I seem to be a villain.

She said: "You don't have to ask the specific reason, is he Kayang?" ”

Xue Yuxiao pointed to the male slave on his knee.

The male slave was already trembling a little, but he saw Cui Mingzhu coming over with a twisted gold wire whip pinned to his waist.

"yes." Cui Mingzhu said, "Kayang is the most handsome of this group of bodhisattvas, and he is in good health. ”

At this moment, the description of "very good" has some extraneous charm.

Cui Mingzhu has been in and out of Fireworks Willow Lane all the year round, and she is not so warm and pitiful - what kind of sleeves and incense lamps are playing, it is all the vassal elegance of literati and ink writers. A veteran like her, who is familiar with many skills in the room, most of the little Langjun of Jingzhao are frail, and they have been trained by her over and over again, even if they have a life, they have gone to half of it, so her reputation in Liuhe is even louder than the name of Xue Yuxiao's Yama.

If nothing else, just say that she likes to see human skin open and cry and beg for mercy, which is already completely terrifying.

Cui Mingzhu has a generous hand, her eyes are vicious, the bustards and turtle slaves all regard her as a distinguished guest, and the "new goods" she buys invite the Cui family lady to come over and "palm the eyes", if she has a fancy to her, Cui Mingzhu is even willing to be his benefactor to make this young man popular, spend a lot of money to give him a "face", and buy Xiao Langjun's first night.

The first night of Kayang was bought by her, and according to the rules of Qinglou Huafang, the "open face" must shave the hair on the man's body, and not even the hair will be left. So except for his hair, his body is very clean, and his dark wheat skin is covered with a thin layer of shiny sweat when he dances, which is moist and shiny, and it feels extremely smooth to the touch.

"He seems to be afraid of you." Xue Yuxiao observed, "Aren't you getting along?" ”

"Nice?" Cui Mingzhu smiled, "Am I good with a male slave?" It's just that he has been raised in my hands for half a month, I set up twenty flowing water mats for him, light red candles, and spend a lot of money, according to the rules, he has to call me a godmother. ”

Twenty flowing water seats are the saying of the land of wind and moon, which means that the benefactor spends the money of twenty banquets for the people, only spends money, and does not set up the banquet, and someone asks him by name, so he says "accompany a certain lady", and does not serve others for twenty consecutive days. Lighting a red candle refers to a bounty on the first night, starting at a thousand dollars, and the highest price wins.

What kind of filthy place is this...... Xue Yuxiao felt that her head hurt even more, she raised her hand and ordered, asked the musician and several other male slaves to go out, and asked, "Jiayang, don't you really remember where you came from?" ”

Cayan grabbed her skirt like a life-saving straw: "I...... I forgot, you touch me, you ......"

He hurriedly rubbed over, grabbed Xue Yuxiao's hand and was about to put it on his chest muscles. However, this method of serving people with color could not enter the eyes of the veteran of Fengyue, Cui Mingzhu raised his hand to hook the leather collar around his neck, pressed the whip of twisted gold wire against the man's cheek, hugged Jiayang over, and said with a smile: "What is your reaction?" Who doesn't know that you guys are sold from Ningzhou, what's the matter, I wish the boss won't let you talk nonsense? ”

The man was sturdy, but he didn't dare to dodge her movements, his green eyes looked at her with moist eyes, and he said for a long time: "...... Godmother, spare Kayang. I—I can't say ......"

Cui Mingzhu shook off the whip and raised his hand to whip him. Jia Yang closed his eyes suddenly, but the whip wind stopped in mid-air, he raised his eyes, and saw that the Xue Sanniang beside him took the hand of the godmother, so that he didn't hit him.

"What are you doing?" Cui Mingzhu complained, "Let me help you ask, are you doing something?" I'll tell you, lowly slaves won't open their mouths without two strokes, and I wish the bosses that they will be heavier than me, and they won't beat bad people. ”

"Alright." Xue Yuxiao frowned, "It's uncomfortable to see me." ”

When she was in Xue Garden, even the third-class servants who sprinkled and swept in the garden were always treated kindly, and the servants in the garden were never embarrassed by the master's family. Xue Yuxiao hadn't fully understood before, why were those slaves so afraid of being kicked out? I finally understood it today.

Xue Yuan is simply a fairyland on earth for those from poor backgrounds.

Kayang could understand her words, and hurriedly came to her side, his curly hair was thick, arching over like a big fluffy dog, his green eyes were wet, and his tone was jerky: "I said, don't beat me, don't let my godmother beat me." ”

His tears fell on Xue Yuxiao's skirt, and he wiped them with his hands in a panic, lowered his head and said, "The master said that I can't tell others, and he will beat me to death." Don't tell anyone...... I am the master of the house...... I bought it for twenty dollars from Chi County, Ningzhou. ”

Twenty yuan is far less than the minimum amount stipulated by the law, and according to the price of grain in Jingzhao, it can only be exchanged for a few meals, and only in Ningzhou, where hunger is everywhere, can this price be suppressed.

Xue Yuxiao and Li Furong glanced at each other, knowing what to expect. She reached out to wipe away the tears on Jiayang's face, and said in a gentle tone: "Don't be afraid, I won't let her beat you, you tell me, where did you send it?" ”

“…… From, from ......" He was fascinated by the warm and sweet aroma in Xue Yuxiao's sleeve, and he almost didn't know how he spit out these words, "I don't know much...... I was transported here by water, and I was on a boat for a long time......"

Waterways, docks. Xue Yuxiao thought for a moment in his mind and said, "Mountains and seas cross ......"

Shanhaidu is the largest wharf in Jingzhao, and there are often cargo ships coming and going on the canal, transporting treasures and specialties from all over the world to Jingzhao, and raising the royal family and nobles with the world, even the dilapidated world. It is the most prosperous place in Eastern Qi, and it is simply two worlds from the poor countryside.

Li Furong followed with contemplation, playing with the short knife in her hand, Su Ri's gloomy and frowning brows tightened even more: "I didn't take the land route, and there are many fewer checkpoints, so I should have sent it in the name of ordinary goods." Let's go back and investigate! ”

Xue Yuxiao was also afraid that she would not treat anyone, so she immediately got up, but she paused slightly, and casually untied a piece of jade pendant on her waist and handed it to Cui Mingzhu: "You redeem him on my behalf, and when you get the contract of sale, help me send someone to send him to Xue Yuan, bring a word to Pei Lang, just say what I said, settle it well, and wait for me to go back and tell him." ”

Cui Mingzhu was stunned and said, "Do you really want to buy it?" ”

"Could it be that he confessed everything, so that he was really beaten to death by the people of Huafang? The time is urgent, and we are going to arrest people. Xue Yuxiao spoke faster, "This matter is handed over to you, don't worry." ”

After that, she followed Li Furong's footsteps, and the two simply went out neatly.

Chapter 38

Xue Yuan.

The autumn breeze is blowing, and there is a volume of "The Book of Victory" spread out on the small case, which is an agricultural book at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, which explains a lot of crop breeding, as well as the knowledge of cultivation and cultivation, which is a very useful book for cultivating and benefiting the people.
