C7 Good Help

"Hey, stop."

Because Soongyanqing was following him, Muzhao stopped shouting and was full of energy, causing that rascal to be shocked.

"Where did all this stuff come from? How dare you interfere with my business?"

Seeing that it was a girl, the rogue spat on the ground, the moment he opened his mouth, he released a burst of evil Qi, causing Muzhao to almost vomit. She grabbed onto Soongyanqing's sleeves and stabilized her body.

"Are you going to sell your daughter to the fence?"

Soongyanqing was worried that the Muzhao would not be able to speak of her identity as a female, so he spoke up for her. After all, those kinds of places were rather taboo for unmarried women.

"So what if I am? "What am I willing to do? The government can't do anything about what you want, so there's no need for you guys to meddle. If you don't like it, then that's fine. It's also reasonable to buy it."

That rascal was not stupid, seeing how Muzhao and the others were able to guess their thoughts, he started to talk about it himself. As long as he could sell it for money, it would be fine.

"But, this price is definitely not cheap. Look at my daughter, she's raised by me to be fat and white. She has good health, is well-bred, and is obedient. Whether she's a servant or a concubine, she's not bad."

It was due to the fact that she was scared out of her wits by almost being sold to a rafter's yard. Speaking of her, she was even more ridiculous. This girl was as thin as a match, her back bones could even be seen through her clothes.

Muzhao could not help but take revenge. The rogue snorted coldly, as if he believed that they would personally buy the girl, so he did not rush it. He caressed the whip in his hand but did not say anything.

"Just tell me, how much do you want?"

"Fifty taels of Yinzi. I won't sell it for even a single cent less."

The little girl previously thought that if she met someone who was kind enough, she wouldn't need to sell them to the brothel. However, after hearing her father's words, she became desperate again, for ordinary people only had one or two pieces of silver a year, who would be willing to spend so much money just to buy a servant?

"Are you crazy about money? 50 taels of Yinzi shouldn't be a mistake. "

"I think that the spirit of the Laisan has gone insane."

"The lion's mouth is so wide open, what a wild fantasy …"

The surrounding people were all paying attention to the commotion, and upon hearing the rogue's bid, they were all shocked, and started pointing at him. It was just as they had said, the price was truly frightening, ordinary girls could sell for two to three Yinzi s, and his family, if weak, could not sell it.

"Aren't you afraid of losing your tongue if you say that?"

Muzhao secretly spat out a mouthful of blood. He had already guessed that Yue Yang would ask for something big, and that Yue Yang was even more greedy than they thought.

Your daughter is so weak, if I buy her I might not even be able to raise her. I'm buying a maid, not a servant girl to serve my ancestors, it's not worth it if I don't buy her.

In the past, when she visited the night market, she would encounter some pretty ornaments that she wanted to buy, but when the prices of the shops were too high, she would do it. If she pretended to think that it was too expensive to go, the shops would call her back to sell her at a much cheaper price.

"Hey, don't go."

The scoundrel, seeing that they were about to leave, was rather excited and ran from the girl's side.

"Uncle, your daughter's price is too high. We really can't afford it. Why don't you ask someone else?"

"Don't, I can sell it at a cheaper price."

It was just as they had said. This girl's body was indeed weak, and it would be hard to raise her by herself, so he was afraid that if Gobi Court did not sell her for a good price, he might as well sell her to these two people to earn some Yinzi s.

"Ten taels of silver should be enough."

Seeing that the Muzhao and the rest were still going, he quickly caught up and lowered the price.

"No, at most four taels. Other girls would only pay this much. I'm a lot healthier and more robust than you."

Muzhao stopped and turned her head as she smiled and said. She knew that this method would be extremely tried and tested.

"Five liang, it's a pity that my family still has a patient, I still need Yinzi."

The scoundrel's expression was sorrowful, his tone sincere and seemingly pitiful. But Muzhao knew how someone like him could give the money to that patient to treat the patient as he said, so he didn't care about him.

"Just two taels. Don't drop it."

"Alright."

The hoodlum clenched his teeth and agreed. He turned around and pulled up the girl who was squatting on the ground, still holding onto the pillar. Before the girl could even stand steadily, she was pushed in front of Muzhao.

"Yes, this is your master. If you need anything in the future, don't come look for me. We have broken off all ties."

The Muzhao snappily took out four taels of silver from his money pouch and gave it to the rogue.

After the rogue picked up Yinzi, he quickly left and entered the tavern. After ordering the good wine and food, he once again went back to living a life of drunkenness and sleep.

When the others saw that the farce had ended, they had no interest in watching anymore. They left, and the street returned to its previous tranquility.

A woman had been watching, and when the scoundrel had gone she had called the girl over to her house to get an old dress to put on. She had been so light in the summer that she had been whipped, and her clothes had been torn, and she was still squatting, but now it was obvious.

Although she was a little girl, it was not good to be naked like this. Therefore, Muzhao thanked the woman and followed the woman to change clothes.

The aunt's house was nearby, and they arrived in a short moment. Muzhao told the girls to go change their clothes, and they waited by the side.

"Hehe, I'm amazing right? I helped people and didn't waste too many Yinzi s, so I saved myself this jade pendant."

Muzhao sat on the stool, feeling pleased with herself. She returned the jade and the money bag back to Soongyanqing, then held onto the cookie and ate it again.

"Yes, strong and tight."

Soongyanqing saw that she was eating that cold pancake again and was afraid that she would have diarrhea later on and wanted to stop her, but seeing that she was very happy, he let her eat happily.

Just like she said, this matter was indeed well done. It was just that she didn't know how this girl would handle it. Let her go home, what if her father sold her out? Their place was a little small to begin with, so it would be difficult for them to accommodate three people.

Just as Soongyanqing was considering how to arrange for the young lady that was saved, a surprised exclamation came from beside him. He turned his head to look and was surprised for a moment, but quickly calmed down.

The person in front of him was wearing a crimson dress with a flat bun on his head. His skin was creamy, but he seemed a little nervous. He was biting his lips and twirling his sleeves with his fingers.

"No wonder your father said that you were born fair and clean. Now that you look at you, you are indeed right. Hmm, you are a bit skinny now."

Muzhao jumped down from the chair, walked around her, sighed with emotion, and then gnawed on her cookie again.

"This girl, hurry up and call someone over."

She was afraid that if this girl was too introverted, her master would not like her and would suffer a loss in the future, so she kindly suggested to her. Unexpectedly, Muzhao shook his head and told her not to be so polite.

"Thank you for your kind intentions, auntie. These clothes look really tight-fitting."

"Hey, you have good eyes. This is what I was wearing when I was a girl. I've been hiding it for many years, so it's just right for me to take it out now."

The aunty was also filled with emotion. In the blink of an eye, she had become a half old Xuniang. She was really uncaring of the time, this girl's skin was white, and her clothes were even prettier than when she was at her age.

"Miss, Young Master, how do you do?"

The girl's lips trembled as she stammered out those words. It seemed that she was still very nervous, but it was just like the grandma thought. She was afraid that she would be abandoned again for not being able to have a master's love.

"Don't be nervous, we won't do anything to you. Let's go eat and relax."

Muzhao walked over and eased her back, calming her down a lot. Before the previous fright had subsided, she would have to face this strange and unfamiliar environment with fear and panic again. It was best if she ate something or took a rest at this time.

There was a restaurant not too far away from them. Muzhao and Soongyanqing intended to take her there for a meal to learn more about the situation.

After thanking the old lady, the few of them walked to the restaurant. The young lady carefully followed behind without saying a word. Muzhao turned to look at her and knew that this person had to give her more time to get used to being timid.

Because Muzhao had eaten a lot of cookie, he only ordered the two of them. The waiter brought a pot of tea over and went to serve the others.

The Muzhao poured three cups of tea and drank one for herself and the Soongyanqing took one for herself. Seeing that the young lady did not react, she brought the cup over for her.

"My name is Muzhao, this is Soongyanqing, can you introduce yourself? That way we can get to know each other better. "

"I am 14 years old, called Xiangling."

After drinking the tea, the conversation between the girls became much smoother. However, she kept her head down, not daring to look up at them.

"Don't tell me your father is called Zhenshiyin?"

Muzhao's expression was a little strange. It wasn't that she had a big imagination, but that this Dream of the Red Chamber was too classic that she couldn't help but think about it too much.

"No, my father's surname is Li and others call him Laisan."

Xiangling shook her head, expressing her confusion. Why did this young miss suddenly ask for her father's name?

Speaking of her father, her heart was full of resentment. He had often scolded them since he was young, and in the end, when he seriously injured her mother, he was still bedridden. Luckily, he met Miss and Young Master, or else she would have been sold by him to that ticker yard.

"Hey, don't cry. Can I just not ask anymore?"

Seeing that no one was crying, Muzhao quickly took out a handkerchief from his chest to wipe her tears. He sighed, were all the girls from ancient times made of water?

"No, miss, I couldn't hold back my tears because I thought of my mother on the bed."

With great difficulty, Xiangling said timidly. This young miss had such a good heart, she did not beat her up like her father did.

"Oh, it's alright. I've learned some medical skills. If you trust me, we can come over to your house together then."

Originally, Muzhao had wanted her to invite a doctor for a look, but when she thought about how she was supposed to learn medicine, she changed her mind and sent them to the west.
