Hearing that someone sold his body to bury his father, Li Jing squeezed into the crowd with an attitude of watching the excitement.

A little girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a black robe, knelt on the ground, and in front of her was a rolled up mat, which was supposed to be the body of the little girl's father.

On the ground is a picture written on Jinyang paper, to the effect that the village was attacked by forest ghosts, with his father escaping from the village, separated from his mother and brother, and wanted to go to Tianzhou to join relatives, when he arrived at Guankou, his father was ill, and he returned to the west yesterday, and he couldn't bear to have no place to live after his father's death, so he sold his father and buried his father, 20 taels of silver!

"I only saw the scenes in the movies of my previous life, but in this world, it is a real thing, so pitiful. Li Jing glanced at this Qin Wanru girl, the little girl had fair skin and slightly red and swollen eyes, but she was not overly sad, nor did she give people a pitiful appearance.

The trace of coldness and slightly pursed mouth when she lowered her head undoubtedly told the people around her that although she was young, she was a strong girl.

"I'm the eldest young master of the Li family, and I don't even have a penny, which is too much to say, so I'll ask Li Lao Er for silver flowers another day. "Although the little girl is pitiful and cute, but Li Jing can't do anything, she has no money to buy it, and she doesn't know how to arrange it when she buys it back, in case those elders blame it, it's really a troublesome thing.

He didn't buy the girl, but he didn't want to leave, he wanted to see which kind-hearted person bought this Qin Wanru girl.

"Miss Qin, your price is also a little higher, so let's do it, 10 taels of silver, you come with me." "An old man in his 50s came out of the crowd, dressed like a man from a modest family.

"20 taels, not a penny less. Qin Wanru's cold voice sounded, she still lowered her head, and she didn't care who wanted to buy her.

The old man said: "Miss Qin, I am thinking of your filial piety, only 10 taels of silver, to buy a daughter like you, it is really not very cost-effective, to provide you with food for you to wear, and to train you to become a qualified maid, it will take a long time." Besides, what will you do. ”

"I..."

"Can you play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"

"No, it won't."

"Can you weave mulberry girl red?"

"No, it won't. ”

"What will the girl do?"

"I..."

After listening to the answer between the two, the crowd of onlookers burst into laughter.

"This girl doesn't know anything, I think, it's worth 5 taels. ”

"Don't say it, it's a beauty embryo, it's a pity to be a maid, buy it back and be a daughter-in-law, she doesn't know anything, she can't live. ”

"Chick, I'll pay 1 tael and buy you for one night, okay?"

All kinds of cynicism for a while, Qin Wanru's face was flushed with shame, she raised her head and said loudly: "Yes, the little woman has no skills, but the little woman understands a truth, to be a child, to be filial to her parents, to be a maid, to be loyal to her master, today I can sell my body to bury my father, and on other days, I can also be unswerving to my master." ”

Qin Wanru's last few words were sonorous and powerful, and the onlookers didn't dare to underestimate her.

"Okay, just by the girl's words, I bought 20 taels of silver! The extra 10 taels are for the girl's conduct. The old man before was obviously moved by Qin Wanru's words, so he directly took out the silver, handed it to Miss Qin, and said, "Miss Qin, you can go and take care of your father's funeral, and after you are done, you can come directly to the Li Mansion to find me." ”

When the old man finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"Slow down, Steward Jiang, I take a fancy to this chick, you can take the silver back. "There was a person in the crowd, in his 20s, dressed in brocade clothes, and his appearance was quite handsome, but he was thin and frivolous, and he looked like a gentleman.

"It's Chen Gongzi, old and polite. It's just that there is no reason to get it back with the money that went out, not to mention that Miss Qin accepted the silver, and this matter was done, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Steward Jiang was not afraid at all, and he was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Isn't the deed of sale not signed yet?Little girl, you follow the young master and me, be my personal maid, if you will come to something, maybe I can give you the identity of a concubine in the future, compared with being a maid, it is the difference between heaven and earth. Chen Gongzi no longer paid attention to Steward Jiang, and instead persuaded Qin Wanru.

"Just like this Jiang steward said, I accepted their silver, and I am already a member of the Li Mansion. Qin Wanru knew that this son must be the son of a rich and noble family, and what he said was a good destination for ordinary women, but she was unmoved.

"I'll pay 40 taels, Miss Qin, this price is high enough, don't be ignorant. Chen Gongzi did not give up, and he doubled the price.

"I appreciate Childe's kindness, and I ask Childe to fulfill it. Qin Wanru lowered her head and didn't mean to raise it again.

"You... Who do you think you are? Such a precious person, just a lowly little peasant woman born of a poor ghost in the countryside, you really don't know how to lift up! Someone else!" Chen Gongzi was dismissed in public, how could he stand it, he shouted, and two big men came out behind him, and when Chen Gongzi gave an order, he wanted to take down the little girl.

Steward Jiang said: "Slow down, Gongzi Chen, Miss Qin is already a member of our Li family, and it is not good for both families to make such a fuss." ”

"I've made a note of it! Li family, Li family! Okay, let's see!" Chen Gongzi was obviously not an ordinary gentleman, so he immediately restrained his anger and led his two subordinates away.

"The little girl has a good home, not bad. Li Jing is really happy for Miss Qin, isn't he the same as this girl in his previous life?

"Wait. "There was another figure in the crowd, in his 40s.

This character is not ordinary, the brother-in-law of the city lord of Guankou City, Thursday Lang, a famous figure.

As soon as he appeared, the onlookers became worried about this girl again.

"My God, why is there another one, the Chen Gongzi in front is a wolf, and this one is a tiger. ”

"This little girl is the little sheep they are fighting for, we are all kinds of small animals watching, the tiger and wolf roar, we have to disperse..."

"How do you speak..."

"Steward Jiang, I also take a fancy to this girl, give the old man a thin noodle, and sell it to me, okay? Thur Lang had a smiling tiger on his face, and people who didn't know him were easily confused by his friendly smile.

"This..."Steward Jiang was a little embarrassed, the smiling tiger Thursday Lang was an extremely difficult character, not to mention that he was the brother-in-law of the city lord, and half of the shops in Guankou were opened by him, he was a small housekeeper, he really couldn't be such a master, and it was already his own idea to spend 20 taels to buy a maid.

"Since Mr. Zhou is interested, then okay, I can only endure the pain of cutting my love, 20 taels!" Steward Jiang sighed, he was doing evil, pushing a little girl into the fire pit.

Thursday Lang likes cardamom virgin women all know, what good thing can be done to buy such a watery girl, first break the place, and then cultivate it into the green building he opened, do a leather business, and make money for him.

"40 taels, Steward Jiang gave me this thin noodles, how can I not know what to do?" The smiling tiger's eyes were about to narrow into a line.

He turned around and called out to the entourage behind him and said, "Butler, take out 40 taels of silver and give it to Steward Jiang." In order to show his generosity, he shouted loudly.

It was only after a long time that the butler did not come forward.

Thursday Lang's face gradually became ugly, and he shouted again: "Butler, take out forty taels of silver." ”

"Master, our money is gone. The butler walked over with a frightened face and whispered.

"What? What are you eating, silver tickets?"

"It's gone. ”

"It's gone, what's the use of me raising you! Don't think about taking this month's money, get out of here." The smiling tiger quietly withdrew his subordinates, and in order to hide his embarrassment, a slight smile appeared on his face.

Touching his arms, he was shocked that everything he had been carrying was gone.

"Such a powerful thief, even I dare to move. ”

Zhou Lang had never seen any scenes, he calmed down and said politely to Steward Jiang: "Steward Jiang, you see this, I will take the people away first, and later, I will send the money to the house." ”

Steward Jiang was about to agree, when he heard someone in the crowd shouting: "The smiling tiger Thursday Lang wants to play the white wolf with empty mouths, and if you buy someone else's girl and don't give money, do you still have credibility? Who will do business with you in the future!"

"Somebody, stand up and speak. "Although the smiling tiger has done many bad things to force good people to become prostitutes. But as an excellent businessman, he has always paid attention to his own reputation, which is the foundation of a businessman.

"Then you give money, so many people are watching. The voice said again.

"That's it, give money, the richest man in Guankou City even relies on 40 taels of silver. ”

"Give money to money!"

Thursday Lang's reputation is very bad, these small people in the market hate it to the core, they saw that someone took the lead, and they knew the truth that the law does not blame the public, and they started to make a commotion, and the movement became bigger and bigger.

Thursday Lang is helpless, people are terrible, and if it continues like this, it will definitely affect his image in the hearts of those big customers.

He was very unwilling, and signaled his subordinates to pay attention to it secretly, and find out the person who took the lead, and he had to torture this person to death before he could get out of his evil anger.

"In that case, I won't buy this person! The brother who said that my reputation is problematic, whether he can stand up and confront Zhou face to face, there is no basis for his words. "The man who he wants to provoke takes his words so that his men can catch him.

But that person is not stupid, there is still a voice, Thursday Lang was helpless, and glanced at Steward Jiang and Qin Wanru, who was kneeling on the ground and didn't care who he sold to, and left amid people's laughter and ridicule.

"It's been a great day. ”

"I didn't expect Thursday Lang to run away with his tail between his legs one day. ”

"I'd like to see who is smiling at him. ”

Li Jing hummed an unknown slang song triumphantly, extremely satisfied with the action he had planned.

He learned from the crowd around him that this Thursday Lang had a good face and an evil heart, and had done a lot of bad things, and Miss Qin was bought, and she must be going to enter the Qinglou.

The thief's heart in Li Jing's heart of robbing the rich and helping the poor was ignited in an instant, isn't there no money? It's good to borrow this Thursday Lang's money, and by the way, rescue Miss Qin.

He slipped into the crowd and took all the money on Thursday Lang and his subordinates, not worrying, afraid that they would use valuable items to pay off the debt, so he had to steal all the things of Thursday Lang and his subordinates in one go.

This kind of stealing is the easiest thing for a peerless thief like him.

The person who coaxed him in the back was naturally him, but he didn't expect the people around him to help him a lot, making things a lot easier.

Qin Wanru arranged the funeral for her father with the help of Steward Jiang, and it was naturally not a problem for Steward Jiang to take care of her.

"There's no way, this kind of scoundrel's money is not taken for nothing. Li Jing counted the silver tickets and broken silver he borrowed, which amounted to as many as a thousand taels, plus some other valuables, this time, he made a lot of money.

"It's useless to keep so much money for yourself, just give it to the poor, by the way, this Qin girl should also give a little. Li Jing thought to himself.

He turned around, squeezed into the crowd, and found an opportunity to bump into Qin Wanru.

Qin Wanru was unconscious, like a jade-faced stone statue, taking mechanical steps, and when she inadvertently put her hand into her arms, she had an extra silver ticket worth one hundred taels out of thin air.

She looked around with the silver ticket and sighed softly.

"We just met in Pingshui, we have already helped me once, and now we have given me so much silver, how can I repay you?"
