Chapter 222: Sold Out, Counting the Money!

d away long ago. The deeds are with me, so I'm in charge now. I'll sell them to you for a hundred taels. Keep the silver, it's perfect for preparing offerings for him every year.”Upon hearing this, Ol..."We were sold by our families when we were young and have been performing dances and songs with our troupe leader ever since." 。“Our classroom owner is nice, there are many people outside, so he brought us to hide here " 。The two little girls, being young and timid, didn't understand what was going on. This only made people feel even more sorry for them. 。Even Jiayi and Liu Yang shared some of the salted vegetables they brought from home with them. 。Ye Shan and Li Lao Si whispered a few words to each other, taking advantage of the time they were drawing water to look around. They found no trace of outsiders, and their suspicion towards these women lessened somewhat. 。Two little girls, their faces flushed from the meal, thanked them with smiles and then ran back hand-in-hand. Everyone watching couldn't help but smile. 。Jiayì sat beside his uncle and said boldly, “Uncle, these people are too pitiful.” 。“

Liu Yang also echoed, "Yeah, I don't know how they survived the pursuit of barbarians"

Li Lao Si swallowed a dry biscuit, helplessly glanced at them, and asked, "Are they pitiful Where are they pitiful Being sold since childhood is pitiful Such people, there are hundreds of thousands in Tianwu." 。"Jīyì and Liú Yáng frowned, both feeling displeased, thinking that their uncle lacked empathy. " 。The rest of the soldiers also bowed their heads and pretended to be busy, obviously not agreeing with Li Laosi's words. 。They all came from humble backgrounds, after all, even with wealth and status, it wouldn't be right to send them off to risk their lives on the battlefield. 。Therefore, one should feel more empathy for a young girl who has gone through such hardship. 。Li Lao Si ignored them, picked up a twig and beat the two boys, asking: 。"You were just talking to those two little girls, weren't you Telling them that our family also escaped from the north and settled in the Jiangnan region, living on Ruijin Beach with hot springs and a valley where gold could be found every day..." 。To have a grape orchard and still be granted a name by the emperor The demand far exceeds the supply. 。Even how many people are in our family, haven't we all said it” Jia Yi and Liu Yang listened, feeling inexplicably uneasy, "We were just chatting idly, there's nothing we shouldn't say, right" "Humph," Li Lao Si sneered, "Yeah, there's nothing we shouldn't say..." 。But you've said so much, what about those two young girls Where are they from What do they do How could a group of women end up lost in the deep mountains and old forest How many of them are there, and where do they intend to goJia Yi and Liu Yang were speechless, finally understanding. 。They were thoroughly grilled by the other party, and they didn't even know who their interrogator was. 。 Li Laosi knocked their heads and shouted, "You idiots! One day, you will be sold by others and even help them count the money!" 。"Jia Yi and Liu Yang lowered their heads, their faces flushed. 。The soldiers who were listening also dared not raise their heads. They had not been shy about speaking earlier either. 。Although it wasn't a big deal, they were guarding the pier and belonged to Lord Xin Ting. That's what they told people...Jiayi and Liu Yang were afraid of causing trouble, so they pulled Li Laosi's sleeve and asked, "Uncle, what should we do now If our background is known, will it be dangerous" "Don't worry!" Li Laosi patted them away and didn't scare them anymore. 。He stated frankly, “As a group of women, they are surely more afraid and on guard against us.” 。Even if you know all of this, it doesn't necessarily mean that it will be harmful to us. 。But in the future, you should remember this and not become careless when you see someone who is pitiful. 。"Yes, uncle, we know we were wrong. We won't do it again. " 。“ Jia Yi and Liu Yang finally confessed, the small bit of restlessness in the soldiers' hearts was also suppressed. ” 。This night, the campsite was unusually quiet. Taking turns to keep watch and sleep, everything was orderly. 。In a cave far away, there were more than twenty young and beautiful women gathered. 。Occasionally, there are two who look over thirty, but they are still graceful and charming. 。They whispered around the most beautiful girl, who was also their class leader, "Class leader, this group of people seems alright, at least they're polite. " 。“Shall we follow them out of the mountain” The beautiful female lead nodded and replied, “We’ve waited for three months for this opportunity, no matter what, we have to give it a try.” 。And these people are under the command of Marquis Xinting, who was previously in the capital as Viscount Xinting. His name wasn't well-known, but he was a genuine member of the imperial family. Now he guards the Jiangnan dock. 。If we could meet him and gain his favor, we would have no worries about finding a place to stay in the south of the Yangtze River. 。The women all beamed with joy. The two young girls who had gone to inquire earlier were also chattering excitedly, one of them saying: 。The head steward, that Broken Gold Beach is said to have hot springs and mansions, it seems very prosperous, and it's also close to the new capital. 。"I heard that it all belongs to Marquis Xinting. If the master can win Marquis Xinting's favor, maybe he could get him to let us live here, right"

Another one also agreed, "Yeah, I heard that this manor grows winter melons, even named by the emperor himself, and the Hot Springs Valley is making a fortune every day."

Those two silly boys both said it sounded good. 。If we capture it, we won't have to travel around anymore. 。The women were excited and asked each other in a flurry, “Is Suijin Beach big Is there a lot of farmland” “What kind of person is Xinting Hou Will he be very fierce”“Oh my, the mistress is so beautiful, even heroes will fall for her.” 。"Yeah, when the time comes, I hope the headmaster lets me take care of the hot springs valley. I want to go soak in the hot springs every day! These past few months have been too tough." 。The beautiful woman frowned, waving her hand to silence the crowd, and finally whispered instructions. 。Let's follow these people out first, to the Jiangnan region. We can figure out the rest later. 。I had only heard that Xin Tingbo was a cold person who disliked talking and did not have a wife or concubines. 。I haven't seen the person, so I don't know exactly how. 。"Oh, no matter what their temperament is, they are all military personnel who have been acquainted for a long time. Upon seeing the master, they will surely prostrate themselves at her feet." 。If the host doesn't mind, I can first check things out for you. 。A charming woman, twirling her hair, laughed seductively. Her pearly neck and chest heaved with each breath, radiating allure that flushed the faces of her companions. 。The beautiful woman glanced at her, but didn't refute her, only saying, "On the road, you inquire about more news" 。The more we know, the better off we are. 。"Alright, class leader, just watch." 。"The woman laughed triumphantly, “Men are all the same.” 。Early the next morning, Li Laosi and the others got up. They still didn't touch the japonica rice sent by the women, they only boiled hot water to warm their stomachs. 。Li Lao Si and Ye Shan discussed that they must get the book today, and then go outside the mountains to investigate the movement of the barbarians. They couldn't delay any longer. Their families were still thinking about them. 。At that time, four or five women came down from the cave, carrying several parcels. 。The current woman's beauty astonished everyone, but after Li Lao Si's beating last night, everyone looked rather indifferent, even with a touch of caution. 。A flicker of surprise crossed the woman's eyes, but she bowed respectfully, her posture graceful and composed, without a hint of frivolity. 。"Fellow warriors, I apologize for the delay." 。"

The lady is too kind " 。Li Lao Si and others returned the courtesy, inviting them to sit on the large stone. 。The woman smiled and spoke first, "Gentlemen, my name is Hua Ru Yue. Earlier, I led some sisters to form a dance troupe, traveling around to make a living." 。The relocation was too sudden, we were in the north at the time, so it was inevitable that we were a little late. 。Having been chased by barbarians all the way here, I had no choice but to enter the mountains. Luckily, there's this mountain valley to take shelter in. 。Speaking of which, I have to thank you all for leaving so many things behind, which helped us a lot. 。As she spoke, she rose with several other women and bowed respectfully. 。Ercun. I hope you can find a way to send her away as soon as possible."When I first moved to Er Cun, I took her and the other sisters-in-law to visit Old Madam Li. Old Madam gave us some fabric and sn...
