Myriad girls in a draft vegetarian clothing, kneeling in front, sideburns fluffy, pink face, miserable.
Surrounded by men, looking at the kneeling young girl, both salivation in the eyes, but also have some scruples, surrounded by that whispering, hesitation, and no one to go forward.
The young girl kneeling there, cold-eyed look at the group of men in front of them, clearly there are a lot of people coveted her face, but no one is willing to pay to buy her, thinking of the old father who is still sick in the medical centre, the heart is burning.
What a bunch of stinking men!
If it was not for the sake of curing her father’s illness, she would not be kneeling here to sell herself as a slave!What I want is to marry into a rich and powerful family, a family of officials and eunuchs, who would be willing to give to these stinking men with a little bit of money!However, my father is very sick and needs 20 taels of silver to save his life. My brother doesn’t care about my father, but I can’t stand by and watch him die of his illness!
Just hate the earlier engagement of Zhao Xiucai, not only do not give a helping hand, but also fell down the well and destroyed the marriage contract!Really useless man, lifts the lifts the lifts can not test, people are also poor, character is also bad to the extreme!That is, he did not destroy, one will also find a way to withdraw from the marriage, just a poor Xiucai!Originally just thought to squeeze a few money from him!
Just, hateful, why not let yourself be born into a rich family, hateful, why let your old father get seriously ill!
I should have married into a rich family and become an official’s wife!How can you be willing to be a slave!I should have been a little more ruthless, like a few older brothers did not care about my old father, but, but I can not bear the heart!I was born and raised, how can I abandon my father?
The marvellous young girl looked at the smelly men around her with cold eyes, her heart was filled with indignation, but then she remembered her old father who was still very ill and precarious in the medical centre, but she had to sigh, raise her head, and ruffle her drooping hair behind her ear, and mournfully opened her mouth:
“Your Lordships and Young Masters, my father is seriously ill and desperately needs 20 taels of silver for medical treatment, but my family is too poor to continue.I have no choice but to sell myself as a slave to save my father’s life.There is only one favour I ask. When my father is cured, I will go back to the house as a slave and work as a labourer.Then go to the mansion as a slave, work as a cow and horse, to repay the favour.”
The young girl’s pink face was miserable and pathetic.
However, when the crowd heard that 20 silver, and still waiting for the girl will be her father after the care of the disease well before really sell their bodies as slaves.Can not help like a deflated balloon, hold their breath, press the restlessness of the heart, did not say a word.
Zhu Pingan listened to the words of this young girl, also do not blame why so many people are just here around this slightly attractive young girl, but not down to buy to do maids to.To know the maid, in the feudal society, is not a little human rights and personal freedom, but is the master of the house let do what do, want to do what.For example, Jia Baoyu first try cloud and rain, is in his personal maid attacker on the cloud and rain.
These people deflated for the simple reason that more money is risky.
Twenty taels of silver was almost enough to buy at least two almost maids in the Ming Dynasty.For example, the maids in The Plum in the Golden Vase: Chunmei paid Chen Jingji five taels of silver for a maid named Qian’er; and Simon Qing paid five taels of silver for a little girl named Xiaoyu to serve the Moon Maiden.
The risk is that the young girl said that she will wait for her father to care for the sick before really selling her body as a slave, care for the sick, I do not know the monkey years and months, a year is not good, two years this is still the case of keeping the contract, after so long, to keep or not to keep the contract is still a different matter.After such a long time, you run away, I find who to go.
So, despite the coveted.But no one shot.
“Girl, what kind of disease does your father have?”A nicely dressed man in the crowd asked.
“My father is in the medical centre next door, headache and body pain, bad cold and slight thirst, twice as often coughing up blood, sometimes syncope off.The doctor said it is typhoid fever syncope off malady.”The young girl complained, pathetic.
Cold syncope off malignant disease, this is a number of diseases together, difficult to cure ah.
The crowd heard, and deflated a lot, this wait for your father to get well, do not know the monkey years and months it.Although you want to play a filial piety, but if your father can not carry, you a woman with filial piety, how bad luck ah, if then over the sick over, it is more bad luck.
Thinking about it, all the people are all out of interest, more reluctant.
Zhang Siwei stood there, holding a wait-and-see attitude, and did not mean to go out.
Wang Shizhen is interested in wanting to pay to buy this girl, to help her father cure, but a touch of the body is only with ten taels of silver.
“Where is your father’s medical centre?”
At this moment, a sudden enquiry was heard.
The girl raised her head, saw a scholar dress, elegant in a noble young man, is looking at his own voice enquiries.
Look at that young man clothes know from the luxury family, but that for the decoration of the sable fur, know that this set of clothes I’m afraid that there is not a hundred taels of silver can not come down.Clothing is also a scholar’s clothing, must be a merit in the body.
The young girl eyes can not help but flash out a stream of light, the heart can not help but a happy, all good people have good karma, it is really so, their own rescue father even met a nobleman to.If you want such a nobleman to buy as a slave, it is more than good.
This young man comes from a wealthy family, and has a reputation, the face of simple and honest, in their own conditions and still want to buy their own, must also be good-hearted.
He went to his side as a slave, was used by him, as a concubine must be easy, if some means, do a concubine aunt or something will not be too difficult, as a concubine of the male owner, the future will be free of food and clothing, and from the young man’s clothes and temperament can be seen, this is the son of a wealthy family, can be in the wealthy family as an aunt, her husband is a meritorious, which is a great scenery.In the future, when I return home, I will make sure that my two elder brothers and the neighbours look good, and I will definitely make the whole village envious.
“Reporting back to your son, my slave family’s father is in front of the Crane Nian Hall.”
Thinking of this, the young girl couldn’t help but reach out her slender jade hand to set her hair behind her ear once again, trying to make her face look a little more delicate, and answered in a delicate voice, her voice was soft and weak letting people have a full desire to protect her.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Pingan nodded his head, then turned his head towards the He Nian Hall that he had just walked past.
The young girl was a little surprised, not knowing why this noble gentleman twisted his head and left after asking himself, what he said was the truth ah.
The young girl bit her lip, very lost.
However, in the next second, the young girl’s eyes lit up again as she realised that the direction the noble gentleman went was the direction of the Crane Year Hall.This noble gentleman is to verify, what he said is the truth, his father is seriously ill is also the truth, this noble gentleman verifying naturally will not be a problem.
Luxury family, meritorious husband, food and clothing, out of the world, scenery of the day, is coming!
The young girl is full of hope
“Zi Hou, what are you doing, wait for me.”
Wang Shizhen followed closely after Zhu Pingan and chased after him, thinking that if Zhu Pingan didn’t pay, he would first borrow Zhu Pingan’s silver to buy this young girl and help her.
Zhang Siwei also followed the two closely.
Walking into the Hernian Hall, Zhu Pingan saw a poor old man curled up on the ground, there seemed to be a pool of blood on the ground, and the fellows of the Hernian Hall were cursing and grumbling as they were cleaning up the ground.
Zhu Pingan walked into the Hernian Hall, to the doctor, pointed to the old man on the ground, to the doctor asked to understand.
The doctor’s medical skills are quite reliable, after all, if you can work under Yan Song, your medical skills must be good.
Well, good, the old man is indeed as the girl said, is the typhoid fever off malignant disease, although the disease is serious, but fortunately not yet into the terminal, there is still a chance of life, just have to need a good medicine to renew life, rough calculation, at least have to have twenty two silver to do.
Zhu Pingan also learned the name, age, address and other information of the old man in the registration book of Hengnian Hall.
After thanking the doctor, Zhu Pingan left Hernian Hall with Wang Shizhen and Zhang Siwei.
Seeing that the noble gentleman had indeed returned to the crowd once again, the wonderful young girl was secretly delighted in her heart, her eyes dripping with water.
“Who’s your father’s name, your geng, and where do you live.”Zhu Pingan returned and looked at the young girl and asked.
The young girl answered one by one, exactly the same as what Zhu Pingan had learnt at the Crane Year Hall, without a single discrepancy.
Then it was true.
In the Hernian Hall to see the poor old man curled up and spitting blood, Zhu Pingan made up his mind to save the old man.20 two silver although more, but also within their own affordability, their parents and elder brother’s home is not bad money, their own money from home to bring almost not much to use it, enough.
20 taels of silver, can save a person’s life, why not do it.
So, Zhu Pingan took out the money bag from his sleeve, opened it, and counted two ten taels of silver denomination from it.
The young girl looked at the money bag that Zhu Pingan casually took out, there were several 50 taels of silver denomination in it, her heart was even more excited, it is really a luxurious family, the pocket money that they carry with them is enough for ordinary people to struggle for several lifetimes.
Zhu Pingan walked up to the young girl and handed over the twenty taels of silver.
“Many thanks to the benefactor.”
The young girl looked at Zhu Pingan with a gaze that was so delicate that it was about to drip out of water.
“No need to thank you, take good care of your father.”
“Ziwei, Wensheng, let’s go.”
Zhu Pingan waved his hand, ignoring the young girl’s delicate gaze, and greeted Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen before turning around and leaving the crowd.
“Duke, Duke, dare I ask what is your name and where does your family live, the young girl will definitely be a slave and a servant girl to serve you well when my father gets well.”
Watching the noble gentleman leave, the young girl got up and anxiously chased after him.
“The money is given, the person is not to be missed.”
Zhu Pingan stopped his footsteps, hooked his lips, shook his head and smiled, then without hesitation, he left with Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen in large strides.
What a dog-blooded plot!
Silly hangers on
The surrounding crowd of onlookers, belly laughs.
