Dong Sihe shook his head, picked up a pearl, and said, "General Wei and Hou Ye are so shrewd, don't say take more, even if you take such a pearl, I'm afraid you won't be able to hide it from them." If Lao Dong was not satisfied, even if he had ten heads, he would have lost them by now. "Put the pearls back in the big box.

Lu Xiaoyuan said: "I don't understand this, thank you General Dong for your advice." ”

Dong Sihe took out half of the silver from the small box, put it in an empty box, and said, "Yuan Shaoxia, let's meet for the first time, these are a little interesting things for Lao Dong." ”

Lu Xiaoyuan was not polite, locked the box, and put it in the Qiankun bag.

Dong Sihe laughed, patted Lu Xiaoyuan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Yuan Shaoxia is really bold, unlike some fake guys, his eyes lit up when he saw the silver, and he still shirked vigorously, and he had to push back and forth many times before he was willing to accept it as a difficulty." ”

When the two came to the main hall, Dong Sihe's eyes swept over the Cui family, and said with a smile: "Yuan Shaoxia, these are Cui Ji's cronies and relatives, you see which chick is strong enough, take it back." If you are not satisfied, there are still maids from Cui's Mansion in the courtyard, and you will be picked. ”

Lu Xiaoyuan said: "It's not necessary, General Dong will keep it for himself." ”

Dong Sihe said with a smile: "Compared with the young girl, Lao Dong still likes mature women, although Cui Ji's character is corrupt, his wife is still charming, hehe, one day Lao Dong said hello to the warden, played with his wife, and let him be reincarnated as a king in the next life." ”

His adjutant stepped forward and said with a smile: "Big brother, the brothers work hard for a long time, and they can't work in vain, right? Anyway, there are no outsiders, hehe." As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the beautiful women in the hall.

Dong Sihe patted him on the head and scolded: "Son of a bitch, although Cui Ji is heinous, others are innocent, do you dare to fight the idea of a woman from a good family, don't you want to live? Don't make a fuss." ”

The soldiers in the hall were overjoyed, snatched a woman they had seen in advance, and ran to the backyard with her in her arms. When the soldiers in the courtyard heard the voice, they also made a commotion.

Dong Sihe walked to the entrance of the hall and scolded loudly: "A group of puppies who have made spring, can't you wait for a while, come in turn." ”

Lu Xiaoyuan saw that the officers and soldiers were like beasts, and suddenly felt contempt, and said goodbye to Dong Sihe and left.

Walking on the street, the warm afternoon sun shone down, Lu Xiaoyuan was very lazy, and at this time he should go back to the inn and lie down in the chair at the door of the store and squint for a while. But with the exception of a few wealthy and idlers, ninety percent of the residents are still busy.

Lu Xiaoyuan said in his heart: "The world is in turmoil, it is the people who suffer, the residents in the city are not allowed to be idle for a moment, and the hardships of the farmers in the countryside can be imagined." ”

Suddenly, a woman's scream broke the afternoon silence, and everyone stopped what they were doing to find out the direction of the sound, and the woman's scream sounded again, and the people finally recognized the direction and ran quickly towards it.

Lu Xiaoyuan followed the crowd and came to a big mansion, which was the home of the big white goose. At the door of the mansion, two stout men in short shirts are pulling a young girl, the girl is crying and screaming to break free, but how can she earn more than the man who has been working hard all year round?

Lu Xiaoyuan recognized that the girl was He Yuqing, and when he saw the big white goose looking at him coldly, instead of saving his daughter, he scolded her sharply, which was very strange.

The middle-aged man beside him shook his head and said, "Alas, it's really inhuman." ”

Lu Xiaoyuan asked, "This uncle, may I ask what is going on?"

The middle-aged man's home is not far from the mansion, and he knows the situation quite well, so he said: "I have lived for more than 40 years, and I have never seen this kind of woman. ”

There was an old man standing next to the big white goose, with a sparse beard, a face full of old spots, and quite well-dressed, he seemed to be ready to breathe at any time, but when his eyes fell on He Yuqing, he was full of lust, even more than the young man.

Lu Xiaoyuan said: "Is she going to sell her daughter who is in her prime to the old man who buries the loess to her neck?"

The middle-aged man sighed and said: "But isn't it, this woman used to be unclear with many Jinzhou magnates, but now that she is old, the magnates don't come to her, so she has cut off her source of livelihood, but the bad habits she contracted in the past have not decreased at all, and she always messes around with a group of hooligans, and after losing all her savings, she sold her daughter to Qian Yuan in Huanghe Town for four hundred taels of silver." ”

He Yuqing's refusal was very strong, and she bit and scratched the two big men, and the two big men spent a long time trying to subdue her.

The money clerk was a little angry, and said, "Big white goose, how did you do it? I have paid the deposit, why hasn't your daughter done it yet?"

The big white goose smiled and said: "Master Qian, don't be angry, my daughter has a strong temperament, and she is not so easy to succumb, you wait for me to talk to her." He stepped forward and glared: "Dead girl, marry you to the Qian family, you will not have to worry about eating and drinking, and I will also follow the light, what are you not satisfied with?"

He Yuqing burst into tears and begged: "Mother, you give me more time, I want to get you four hundred taels of silver." ”

The big white goose snorted and sneered: "I can't do anything, old lady, what can you do? Go to your match, or go to the kiln to sell yourself? I think you want to run, right?"

He Yuqing cried: "Our nineteen-year mother-daughter relationship, is it not as good as four hundred taels of silver?"

The big white goose glanced at her and sneered: "Silver can eat and drink, what can you do? Quarrel with the old lady all day long, make the old lady angry, compared with the silver, you are far behind." ”

When He Yuqing heard such ruthless words, her eyes became dull, and she muttered, "I see, I see." Suddenly he shouted, "Even if I die, I will not fulfill your wish!" I don't know where I got the strength, I broke away from the two big men and threw myself towards the stone steps.

Everyone let out a burst of exclamations, only to say that this girl was going to burst out of her brain, but the big white goose was quick, but she was dragged and sneered: "Even if you want to die, wait for the cave room with Master Qian, and the old lady will die after getting the remaining two hundred taels." ”

The sound of hooves sounded, and only one person could be heard shouting: "Hey, what are you doing! In broad daylight, do you want to rob a woman from a good family?"

Qian Yuan squinted outside, and a cavalry stopped outside the crowd, they were holding steel knives and muskets pinned to their waists, but it was Wei Wensheng's musket guard, so they shouted to the musket captain Cheng Batian: "Captain Cheng, it's okay, it's me going to marry a new daughter-in-law." ”

Cheng Batian laughed and said, "Old money, old money, you are a lot old, and you still marry a daughter-in-law? Whose girl is going to marry you, old ghost?"

He Yuqing shouted: "Official, help! I was forced, they want to rob the people's daughter!"
