When the ladies and relatives stood up, a servant pushed out one of the white-haired old women to stand in front of the onlookers.

At this time, a scribe holding a big red vermilion pen in his right hand and a notebook in his left hand slowly walked next to the old woman, glanced at the onlookers, and said, "Qin Yue's family, fifty wen, can anyone buy it?"

In fact, this auction is not a formal auction that Gongliang saw in his previous life, but should be called "shouting, shouting, and drinking." ”

As with all auctions, this form of selling is to put the worst goods first, so that no one ends up losing the auction and smashing it into their own hands.

The white-haired old woman looks like she is about seventy, but she is actually only in her fifties, but she lives a hard life, and God unfairly carves the vicissitudes of endless years on her.

An old woman like her is usually bought by no one, because one more person in the family gives one more ration. People buy it back to share the burden of the family, not to buy an ancestor to serve at home - don't say that people are indifferent and ruthless, it's just the helplessness of the world.

Occasionally, there are kind-hearted people who sympathize with people like the old woman and buy it.

After all, there is not much money, and although an old woman like Lao Ma is old, she can still do some sewing and mending and sweeping the floor.

Speaking of which, there are still many well-wishers in this world, but sometimes they don't meet them.

Luckily, the gray-haired old woman met.

A strong man came out of the crowd, ran to the back to pay, and then came to get the old woman, and left the disturbing place.

The sell-out continues.

"Lin, Seventy Wen. ”

"One hundred words of the male tongue. ”

"One hundred and twenty Wen of the Giant Mother's Clan. ”

"Chang's one hundred and fifty wen. ”

"Shentu's two hundred texts. ”

"Yu's two hundred and thirty texts. ”

······

The ladies were asked to sell one by one, and some of them asked for it, so they would be asked to bid, and the price would be higher. Gongliang looked around and found that there were no men among the dependents who were selling, neither adult men nor underage boys. After inquiring, I learned that men are forbidden to buy and sell.

According to the laws of Great Xia, men who were not slaves and had more than a wheel would be sent to mines, forest farms, and wilderness to mine, log, and cultivate wasteland.

If there is no accident, they will work until they die.

Boys below the wheels and above the calves will be sent to the frontier to do unnified labor, and when they grow up, they will be sent to the death camp, and those who will not die in a hundred battles can leave the camp. It's a pity that since the founding of Great Xia, this kind of thing has not happened.

Babies below the calf, who are still ignorant or swaddling, are sent to dental dealers and sold to couples who cannot have children.

But no matter where it is sold, the ignorant or swaddling baby will be recorded. A slave for a while, a slave for life, unless Great Xia perishes, there will be no chance of advancement.

Don't say that the law is merciless and cruel, that's what it looks like in this world of the jungle.

"Shang Mu's ten taels of silver. ”

"Fifteen taels of silver for the fifth. ”

"Twenty taels of the party. ”

"Twenty-five taels of Sha's. ”

······

The more the sale is in the end, the higher the price, and the female dependents are more and more slender and beautiful, and there are many people bidding, and the price is rising.

Finally, it was the turn of the three sisters that Gongliang saw just now, and the official stepped forward and grabbed the collar of the youngest girl and pulled it out. But the little girl cried and hugged the bodies of her two sisters tightly, and she would not let go of them.

"Sister... Sister... Yu'er doesn't go, Yu'er doesn't go. ”

"Yu'er..."

"Yu'er..."

The three sisters hugged each other and cried bitterly, tears blurred their eyes, wet their faces, and soaked through their thin clothes, and they could see that people's hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys were all entangled.

The servant was not a hard-hearted person after all, and unconsciously let go of his hand, and turned his head to look at the scribe, "This..."

Before the scribe could speak, someone in the crowd of onlookers said, "My lord, it is better to sell the three sisters together, so as to save trouble and fulfill the righteousness of their sisters." ”

The scribe is dispensable for this, and it is better to sell it together, so as to save him from wasting saliva.

"Then together, Yan's three sisters, one hundred taels. ”

Speaking of which, the sisters of the Yan family are outstanding, delicate and lovely, and they are rare beauties.

But here, at this moment, the more beautiful people are, the worse it will end.

"One hundred and fifty taels. As soon as the scribe finished speaking, a man with a fat head and big ears who looked like a landlord and a rich man shouted loudly.

A thin middle-aged man on the side snorted disdainfully and shouted, "Two hundred taels." ”

"Two hundred and fifty taels. ”

"Three hundred taels. ”

······

"Eight hundred taels. ”

The price of Yan's Sanshu has risen again and again, and it has reached eight hundred taels in a blink of an eye. The people who were still discussing the money just now looked at each other, and although they had already called many people to make money together, it was only a hundred taels. But as soon as this scribe opened his mouth, he would pay a hundred taels, which meant that he would lose their chance.

When everyone heard that someone had paid eight hundred taels for the three little girls, they couldn't help but turn their heads to look, wanting to see who they were, so arrogant?

As soon as he turned his head, he saw an obese man sitting on a sedan chair carried by eight big men, gnawing on the fruit, while looking at the three sisters of the Yan family, his eyes were full of greed.

"Linjiang Hou!"

"I heard that the imperial history of Zhongcheng once participated in the marquis of Linjiang, saying that he was arrogant and extravagant, eating and drinking, clothes, intended to take advantage of the public opinion, Shang Fang treasured to play, and filled his family; As a cave room, Qi sparse all around, and the number of people indulged in wine with their party. Now the three sisters of the Yan family are miserable, if they fall into his hands, I am afraid that they will not be able to survive and die. ”

"Not really. ”

"I have heard that he took pleasure in torturing his maidens, and that he did not know how many lives he had killed in a year, and that he was not afraid of the wrath of God. ”

"Silence, be careful to be listened to by him. ”

Linjiang Hou didn't care what others said, and when he saw that no one raised the price, he waved his hand. A middle-aged Confucian man with a goatee stepped forward, parted the crowd, and was about to pay for the people.

"One thousand taels. ”

Suddenly, a coquettish cry came.

When everyone heard this, they turned their heads, and saw a woman with white powder on her face and her lips painted with extremely beautiful lips sitting on a sedan chair held by four strong men, holding a fan, shaking the gentle breeze. On either side of her, on the left and right stood a delicate maidservant, a stout old woman, and a guard.

Under the shaking of her fan, a strong fragrance wafted around, and people couldn't help but sneeze when they smelled it.

Mi Gu seemed to smell it too, his little face was tangled, and he wrinkled his nose and said to Baba: "Baba, it stinks." ”

When Linjiang Hou saw her, he frowned slightly and said, "Fox Meizi, you have come to harm other people's innocent girls again." ”

The woman held a fan in her hand and covered her delicate red lips, and giggled: "Yo, look at what you said, Master Hou, how can the slave family harm people casually." Entering my Wanhua Mansion is better than going to the Hou Ye's Mansion to die!"

Linjiang Hou's face was cold, and he looked at her, his eyes were fierce, like a man-eating beast.

Not to be outdone, the woman looked at each other.

In the eyes of the two pairs, there seemed to be sparks and lightning flashing.

For a moment, Linjianghou seemed to be scrupling about something, waved his hand boringly, and the eight sedan chairs immediately turned around and went out.
