Xiangling smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I think if Tan 'Hua' is nearby, she will come." Before I left, the prince had already instructed us to mobilize the other sisters if we needed help. I think Epiphany also received this order. I tried to contact her, it would be nice if I could contact her, but I heard Sister Xinlian say that Tan 'Hua' is a special identity, she can't go out anytime and anywhere, and sometimes she won't pick up the news we send for months. ”

Murong Xuan nodded and said, "That's right, Tan 'Hua' has always disappeared without a trace, I remember the time I went to check the news she sent back, but there was nothing." I don't know if I can reach her this time. ”

Xiangling stood up and said, "Although I don't know, we still have to try, you wait here, I'll go out and try to contact the sisters in Jiangnan." This Wuchang City is an important place on the Jianghuai Waterway, and they should come soon. ”

Murong Xuan said: "Okay, Xiangling, go and come back quickly, Xiaolan and I are on standby." Xiangling nodded and left the inn. And Gongsun Dulan and Murong Xuan were waiting in the room.

And Lin Shuiyue's piano sound continued, while Murong Xuan and Gongsun Dulan listened to the music played by Lin Shuiyue in the room, patiently waiting for Xiangling to come back.

Lin Shuiyue is in a good mood today, if she is usually like this, she will definitely not be like this, because today she saw a person, this is naturally Lou Yun.

Listening to this music quietly and listening to the piano on the side, listening to the piano found that as long as Lin Shuiyue saw Lou Yun, her mood would become very good, and the sound of the piano could express the inner thoughts of the violinist, her young lady was a first-class violinist, she was really happy now, almost every syllable represented her happy mood.

Tingqin had an idea in her heart: "Miss Fei likes that Qiuyun?" Tingqin shook her head and dispelled this idea, the 'hairy' boy was much older than her own young lady's age, how could she like him. And there is no shortage of girls around that kid, she believes that Lin Shuiyue will not have that kind of strange thought.

But why is this? Tingqin didn't know, although she followed Lin Shuiyue's side all the year round, but she didn't follow her all the time, and her own young lady would sometimes leave letters and silver taels and then say goodbye without saying goodbye, asking her to go somewhere to settle down first, and when the time was right, she would go to her.

Listening to Qin's heart beating the drum, I hope that this time Lin Shuiyue will not throw her like this. She was afraid that one day Linshui Yue would leave her completely. Because in her heart, Linshuiyue is her only relative, and she bought it from the old bustard by Linshuiyue.

At that time, she was still very young, she was also the heir of a large family, and she was the 'illegal' daughter of the young master and the maid of a large family. And her father died very early because of greed, 'desire', 'woman' and 'lust'.

Although his father was a 'bastard', he was still good to their mother and 'daughter' when he was alive, although he was not a 'jade' food, but he also had no worries about food and clothing in the countryside.

However, after the death of her father, she and her mother were cut off, and her mother made a living by weaving and embroidering for others, and her mother went out one day and did not come back for a long time.

When she was in her early teens, she went out to look for her mother, but when she was not found, she herself fell into the hands of human traffickers, who did not abuse her because they were afraid that they would not be able to sell her at a high price, and the place where she was sold was a brothel.

It was also because of this time that it completely changed her Ichikatsu, because in that brothel she met the 'flower' Kui Lin Suiyue, who traveled around the world and passed by the small county town where she lived.

The traffickers sold her to the old bustard of the brothel for eight taels of silver, because she was a teenage girl, she was favored by the old bustard, and her first night was to be auctioned that night.

Tingqin looks like a beauty, even if she was very immature back then. After the bustard dressed her carefully, he pushed her to the position of the auction item after drinking the "medicine", "fan" and "daze".

Although she was confused and confused at that time, she still clearly remembered that when those men saw her face, all the ugly faces looked directly at her immature body and face. Some of them even drooled, and these serious squires outside all 'showed' their ugly faces here, and those who were full of wealth, full of benevolence and morality, and who were also sages, and sages who were closed-mouthed, also looked at her with greedy eyes, and these people completely ignored that she was still a child.

If it weren't for the public, if the traffickers had sold her directly to them, they would have ruined Tingqin at this time. With a young body, endure the things that will be endured many years later.

Sometimes these people who have read the books of the sages are even uglier when they rely on brutal villains.

That time, Tingqin was auctioned for a high price of three hundred taels of silver. Although these hundreds of taels of silver are nothing in many large households, it is a sky-high price to 'spend' a few hundred taels of silver to buy a little girl, because the people below have no status at all, and they are still 'girl' children.

Some large families buy a young 'girl', and only a few taels of silver are enough. And these few taels of silver bought the life of this 'girl' child, unless someone is willing to redeem her, or she will have to be a slave for others for the rest of her life, if the master's family wants her to fill the house for the seventy or eighty-year-old man, she must also obey unconditionally.

Because from the moment the deed of sale was signed, she was no longer a person, but just an object, an item that could be 'traded' at any time. Whoever holds her deed of sale, who is her master, even if the master buys her again, she must obey.

There is no greater sorrow for a person than this.

I don't know how many such 'girl' children have since ancient times, and they are lucky to meet good people, and meet people who are willing to redeem themselves and take care of their lives. Unfortunately, he can only live his life like a walking corpse and walk through this life silently.

And Tingqin is such a lucky 'girl' child.

When one of the outsiders auctioned her, one of them offered a higher price, which was unacceptable to the squires, and naturally no one bid with her anymore.

Because Linshui Yue directly increased the price of Tingqin tenfold, three thousand taels of silver.

Even in the capital, Suzhou and Hangzhou, these big cities are unacceptable prices, not to mention the local tyrants and gentry in small places, these three thousand taels of silver may be all their family property, and even the land property and house title deed are all worth so much silver.

And although the rich businessmen in the big cities can afford to pay so much silver, they will not take it out if they 'spend' so much money to buy a little girl. Because in their eyes, those who are not supported by their family background are inferior people, and those who do not sound good are "untouchables", just like lowly goods, which are not worth so much silver.
