Chapter 376: Something to Pursue
???“ And the prince is a royal prince, so he can sponsor the owner of the autumn village. And the prince is the prince of the territory, and there is so much support from the prince in the capital, a three-waiting title, it is not difficult for the prince to say it, if the prince places the future fiefdom of the autumn village in his own territory, then the emperor is too late to be happy, how can he object. ”
"Although our Lianhua Club and Yongwangfu are not too rich, but there is no problem in raising a person, if the beauty is in the arms and the wine is in hand, I think any man's mind will be corroded, because they pursue their whole life, isn't that what they are pursuing? Speaking of this, Xiangling's eyes showed a trace of sadness.
Gongsun Dulan did not object, because this is indeed what these men pursue, everyone in this world has their own pursuits, although everyone pursues different things, but only one thing is the same.
What they pursue is what they need, or what they lack, but all of this is inseparable from one point, and they pursue these things just to make their lives better.
is also beyond reproach, Gongsun Dulan served the Mercy Flower Society because the Mercy Flower Society could provide her with safety. Her parents were originally a chivalrous couple who walked the rivers and lakes, but just when they were about to return to the rivers and lakes and live a peaceful life, they were killed by a group of ringing horses. Her father was killed instantly after a ruse, while her mother was taken captive up the mountains and suffered indelible damage.
Eventually, her mother took advantage of the unpreparedness and committed suicide in shame. And she pretended to be dead, bit the guard's hand, escaped from the prison, and fell off the cliff when she was chased, but fortunately, God had mercy on her, so that she would not die, and she also met the noble person in her life.
This person is naturally Zhu Yunchang, when Zhu Yunchang's army was marching out, passing by the canyon, he happened to see a little girl about ten years old hanging on the tree, and Zhu Yunchang rescued her.
After Gongsun Dulan told Zhu Yunchang about the matter, Zhu Yunchang was furious, although he did not often set foot in the rivers and lakes, but he also respected Gongsun Dulan's parents very much, and a generation of chivalrous people finally ended up in this fate, he was very sorry.
Zhu Yunchang immediately ordered the army to be rerouted and went straight to the cottage where the mountain bandits lived.
In less than two hours, the cottage where these bandits lived was broken by Zhu Yunchang's elite soldiers, and Zhu Yunchang ordered that these bandits did all kinds of evil, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and then the whole village was beheaded one by one, regardless of men, women and children. Not a single one is left.
In the end, Zhu Yunchang collected the bones of Gongsun Dulan and his wife and buried them thickly. And in order to repay him, this little girl stayed in the Yongwang Mansion, and Zhu Yunchang also cultivated her and ordered someone to teach her martial arts, and then this little girl slowly became an orchid one of the twelve fragrant flowers.
And the cottage of that gang of bandits was also occupied by Zhu Yunchang, and later became one of his barracks.
And Murong Xuan is a little special, Murong Xuan is the eldest lady of the Murong family, a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, she has no worries about food and clothing since she was a child, and her father does not discipline her very much, but Murong Xuan has not developed an arrogant and domineering character like Tang Zhiyun.
Murong Xuan joined the Mercy Flower Club because of Zhu Yunchang's ideal of equality between men and women, because she was from a large family and was used to seeing those slaves who were bought. Her maids are all children of poor families, and some of them are sold cheaply because of the patriarchal mentality in the family, and they don't care what the fate of these girls will be in the future.
And none of the girls were very old, the youngest was ten years old, and the oldest was only fifteen.
They are subordinates who can only serve tea and water, sweep the floor and wait for the master, young master, and eldest lady. Fortunately, her brother and the rest of the Murong family didn't have that special hobby, and these maids were doing well.
And Murong Xuan watched these girls grow up, and when she was a child, she often wondered why they were also a girl of the same age, but they had to serve her tea and water, while she lived a worry-free life?
In the end, the answer was very simple, because she had a good father and a good family background, and these girls were not as lucky as her, they were born to be served by others, and they were born to serve people.
And it's all because of this world, why are girls being sold as goods? Why are boys left at home to be raised, and girls are sold to others?
Every time Murong Xuan saw those little girls with straw sticks on their heads, his heart was sour. Because if they were sold, they would not have freedom for the rest of their lives, and once again a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl was sold as a wife to a man who was born stupid.
If it weren't for Murong Xuan to buy her at a high price in the end, then that girl's life would have been ruined.
And Murong Xuan sent that girl to Emei, and it was at that time that she met a person, this person was the former Emei disciple, Yan Feixue.
Yan Feixue pointed out the way to Emei for her, and also pointed out the way she would go.
And after Murong Xuan sent the girl to Emei, she followed Yan Feixue to Fengxiang and met Zhu Yunchang.
Because she was the eldest lady of the Murong family, Zhu Yun often made time to receive her. And Zhu Yunchang also told her about his philosophy. The concept of "Pity Flowers".
And Murong Xuan was also impressed by his philosophy, so she joined the Mercy Flower Society, and then became one of the twelve fragrant flowers. This matter was also informed to the Murong family, but Murong Xuan's father didn't seem to care too much and agreed with his daughter's decision, the eldest nephew went to Zhongnan Mountain, the son went to Huashan, and the daughter joined the Mercy Flower Society and became one of the twelve fragrant flowers.
Until now, there has not been a case of buying and selling human beings in the land of Yongliang, because this is what Zhu Yunchang expressly prohibits, and he doesn't care about buying and selling in other places, if he can't buy and sell in the land of Yongliang, he will go to prison. And human trafficking is a felony. Minor cases were imprisoned for several years, and severe cases were beheaded for public display.
All this was seen by Murong Xuan, although this did not fundamentally put an end to this kind of thing, but she knew that Zhu Yunchang had done his best, this was where his ability could reach, at least he could guarantee that there would be no more such things in his fiefdom, and the sale of human beings would be extinct. Those poor children will not be sold as goods.
All this is what Murong Xuan wants to see, and this is what she has been striving for. It's something she wants to achieve. It's what she's after.
