Chapter 679: Xi'er
A group of people dressed up, walked on the streets by the lake, talked and laughed, talked about strange things, and commented on historical and national events.
Quarreling with each other, from time to time there are witty words spit out, which attracts the frequent sideways glances of the readers passing by nearby, and even some readers thank them in public after hearing some big truths, saying that they have benefited a lot.
There is a special charm for real readers to get together.
That kind of charm is not comparable to the wind and snow, cockfighting and dog walking, but the kind of pride and ambition that guides the country and is full of spirit.
Li Xiuyuan didn't argue much about some opinions, and only occasionally expressed some of his opinions, after all, his thinking was still a little different from that of the readers of this era, and it was better to say less shocking things in this capital.
Although I am not afraid of the court asking for guilt or the like, there are always some scholars who can't accept their own views and jump out to argue.
How could he be in such a mood to argue with them.
He was still thinking about what would happen in the capital after dark.
Just a few days ago, while walking and talking, I suddenly saw a lot of people watching from the side of the street in front of me, who seemed to be arguing about something.
A few people passed by and took a curious look.
But I saw a woman kneeling on the ground with a straw stuck in her head.
"Someone is selling their bodies. Zhu Yu exclaimed: "What happened, a daughter's family was forced to sell herself." ”
"Ten taels, ten taels of silver, girl, come with me, I promise not to treat you badly." A merchant said excitedly, with ten taels of silver in his hand, as if he couldn't wait to buy the woman.
"I just want to buy such a woman with a sign for ten taels, I will pay twenty taels, girl, you sell it to that family is not for sale, why don't you sell it to my family, I can hide the money compared to him." The other shopkeeper also quarreled, eager to pay for the woman at once.
"Get out, you are bullying this girl and don't know the market, right, with the girl's appearance, you can sell at least fifty taels, I will pay fifty taels, girl, how about you go home with me? ”
There is competition again.
Li Xiuyuan glanced at it, then lost interest and said, "Let's go, it's better not to mix up such things." ”
Qian Jun on the side said: "Brother Li, go slowly, this girl is so pitiful, why don't we help? Save her from the sea of suffering, if she sells herself to those merchants' homes, wouldn't she waste her life in vain, in my opinion, it is better to buy it with funds, and go back to have a red sleeve to add fragrance."
”
"It turned out that you had the idea of beating someone else's girl's house. Zhang Bangchang shook his head and said.
Qian Jun blushed and said: "What's the matter, how can I compare to you with beautiful wives and concubines beside you, if you don't make a move today, I'm afraid I will regret it for life." ”
"....." everyone looked strange.
But when he saw the girl's appearance, he immediately understood why Qian Jun was so excited.
But I saw that the woman was petite, fair-skinned, and her face was marked, and there was an indescribable beauty.
It's no wonder that those businessmen and shopkeepers keep bidding as if they have picked up a bargain.
But isn't it, if such a woman is placed in a green building, she can't redeem it with hundreds of miles of silver.
And there is no shortage of wealthy people in the capital, how is it not cost-effective to spend dozens of taels of silver to buy such a beauty?
"But Brother Qian, did you bring any money?" asked Zhu Yu.
Qian Jun smiled: "As if the heavens are favoring me, I made a fortune yesterday, barely enough ......"
After speaking, he squeezed into the crowd, and then said: "Can't you be quiet, this girl is already involuntary and miserable, what kind of system do you have to sell other girls like goods?"
Everyone wanted to scold back, but when they saw that Qian Jun was a scholar, they held back.
The two merchants smiled awkwardly, arched their hands, and quickly left, no longer bidding.
Since ancient times, it has been an ironclad rule that the people do not fight with the officials.
How dare they businessmen rob people with scholars, who knows that they will offend that court official.
"Girl, what's going on in your house, why do you have to sell yourself on the street? If there is any grievance, I may be able to help you with something. Qian Jun said.
"The little girl's name is Xi'er, because her family is in trouble, and she has no relatives to rely on, so she can only sell herself out and find someone to rely on. The woman bowed her head, her voice a little sad and sad.
"I see. After Qian Jun listened, he felt even more that he needed to come to the hero to save the United States.
But just as he was about to speak, a man on the side said: "This girl, there is still a lack of one person in the official mansion, today the official has a good heart and is willing to take you in, how about you leave with the official?"
"Lord Prefect?" Of course, Qian Jun was stunned when he saw who was coming.
This person turned out to be the prefect I met in Xiangguo Temple last time, Fang Shengyu, Lord Fang.
Fang Shengyu touched his short beard and said, "Is it Qian Jun?" I didn't expect that today was a coincidence, and you also went out to play." ”
Qian Jun smiled and replied politely, but he was a little troubled in his heart, he didn't expect this Fang Shengyu to take a fancy to this girl.
Li Xiuyuan, who was on the side, said in a low voice: "Brother Zhang, go and call Brother Qian back, this person is not as simple as simply selling his body, there is fraud in it, whoever buys it is unlucky, this advantage cannot be taken advantage of." ”
"There is such a thing. ”
Zhang Bangchang on the side was startled, but he didn't doubt what Li Xiuyuan said, he immediately walked over and took Qian Jun away, and then apologized, "Lord Fang, it's polite, we have to go somewhere else to play, so don't bother Lord Fang, go, Brother Qian." ”
Qian Jun is also ready to fight with this Fang Shengyu to recapture this Xi'er.
As a result, Zhang Bangchang pulled it, but he was pulled away before he could react.
"Brother Zhang, you are too afraid of that Fang Shengyu, it's just a prefect, and it's not a very big official, Brother Li is still a assassin, he still has to give Brother Li a respectful gift in terms of grade, besides, how pitiful that Xi'er girl is, I'm going to buy it back to be a concubine, I'm a piece."
Sincerely, if this girl follows that Fang Shengyu, then it will be pitiful, I heard that the Fang family is a jealous husband, and this prefect has never dared to take a concubine. Qian Jun said.
"You really fell in love with someone at first sight, but let Brother Li explain this matter to you. Zhang Bangchang said with a smile.
Li Xiuyuan asked, "Brother Qian, are you sure that the person named Xi'er is a woman?"
"What is it that is not a woman? it can't be a goblin. Qian Jun said,
But as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly woke up, and then asked cautiously, "Is it really a goblin?"
"It's not a goblin, you can rest assured, but it's not a woman, it's a man. Li Xiu said from afar.
What?
Qian Jun was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue.
"This, how is this possible, how can such a beautiful girl be a man. ”
Li Xiuyuan said: "I don't look at people's appearance, but look at people's breath, appearance will deceive a person's eyes, but the breath will not, a person's breath can see a person's true appearance, but the appearance cannot, he is definitely a man, although he looks very feminine, transformed."
Makeup is more beautiful than ordinary women, but men are men, you don't believe you can touch it, maybe he will take out that thing bigger than you. ”
