Chapter 182 Thirty Years Hexi
When Chu Junlan's mule cart arrived, the platform was surrounded by the people watching the fun.
Many officials from various government offices came to pick people, so they went on stage. They opened their mouths to check their teeth as they selected animals. When they saw young laborers pinched the muscles on people's bodies, they even had to touch their faces when they saw beautiful women.
When Chu Junlan got off the car, he saw Chu Mengying and Chu Huazhang who were helpless on the stage.
The two of them had messy hair and grass marks, their faces were dirty, and they were wearing thin coarse cloth clothes and trousers. It was obvious that the valuable clothes and jewelry on their bodies had been stripped of them, and they had been tortured a lot in the cell.
Chu Mengying was already outstanding, especially her pitiful watery eyes were in tears at this time, and she timidly avoided the rough hands that touched her face, which attracted many people in the audience to discuss.
"Whose family belongs to this? Wouldn't it be nice if I buy it back and become a girl in the house?"
"Don't you know? The Meridian Gate was so lively yesterday, do you know the one who beheaded, right?"
"Oh! It turned out to be them."
At the beginning, the tone of the person who was still very interested became contemptuous, and some even spat.
"Bah! What good things can the dog that assassinated the emperor give birth to? If you look so charming, you will definitely be a messed-up woman who follows the beheaded bitch and will be taken home!"
"Yes! And that little white man, what can I do if I buy it back when I'm idle?"
...
Chu Mengying and Chu Huazhang listened to the buzzing discussions in the audience, their eyes turned black and their hearts were filled with cold air.
"Sister, what should I do, sister..."
Chu Huazhang sniffed, tears winding down his eyes, and two clean marks rushed out on his dirty face.
"Why haven't my dad come to save us? Although my mom has been beheaded, she has been with her dad for so many years. Besides, my dad can ignore her mom, how can she even want her son and daughter?"
Chu Mengying described it as sad, but her tone was extremely calm.
"Our father is afraid that he can't let his mother down and get rid of ashes. How can he satisfy him if he beheads? He has always wanted to climb up all his life, but because of his mother, he lost his official position. Should you be glad that he didn't come. If he comes, will we go back to that house to give him an anger? Besides, he is not the only one you, me, a son and a daughter."
"But if someone bought it, I don't know what I would do? I would rather go home to be a current person than give it to others!"
Chu Mengying bit her lower lip, and she was actually panicked.
Chu Huazhang is right. Even if he goes home, he can guarantee that he is safe, but what about going to someone else’s house?
But people need shame, tree and bark. If they go home and become servants, how can they have the face to gain a foothold in the future? Chu Junlan can be the princess, but how can she, Chu Mengying, be that shrew, be able to be the shrew, and she can only be the current person?
Chu Mengying's heart was full of resentment and resentment, hating Ma Changming's deception, and even more cruel to Aunt Wang's stupidity.
If you are not aware of others, you are self-righteous, you will harm others and yourself, and you will have more than your death!
In Chu Mengying's eyes, those who choose them are not even as hateful as Aunt Wang. If time could go back, she would wish she could grab Aunt Wang's hair and kick her hard!
Chu Junlan took Zi Yan and Liang Hui to the front, looked up at the two people on the stage, and turned around and instructed Liang Hui: "You go and buy the person. Remember, you must take down the body contract."
"Yes." Liang Hui nodded, immediately went to the stage, blocking the person who was touching Chu Mengying's hand, and turned around and said, "I bought these two people."
Chu Huazhang raised his head and met Liang Hui's familiar face, and almost screamed in surprise.
"Liang Hui! It's you! Is my father here? Is it my father here!"
Liang Hui did not answer, but just asked about the price.
Because it was a soldier from the court, he didn't dare to rush the business. The lady and the young master of the Chu family were bought by Liang Hui for five and four liang respectively.
When the manager handed over the contract to Liang Hui, Chu Mengying reached out and wanted to get it. It would be better to put such things in his own hands than to put them in other people's hands.
But Liang Hui avoided it.
"You guys follow me." Liang Hui's attitude was plain, not like the lady and young master of the Chu family.
Chu Mengying frowned slightly, and she couldn't help feeling a little nervous: "Liang Hui, is my father below?"
"The master didn't come." After getting off the stage, Liang Hui walked in front, regardless of whether the two behind could follow, and said expressionlessly: "Wang did that thing, so the Chu family almost followed him with him. The master originally did not intend to take care of you two, but the butler had a Bodhisattva heart. Yesterday, he went to the court to deliver the dead head meal to Wang. Today he came to redeem you two to avoid the suffering of going to other people's houses as slaves. You must know how to be grateful."
Chu Mengying and Chu Huazhang were stunned at the same time.
"Miss Butler? What kind of lady butler?"
"It's Miss Three."
Liang Hui turned around and looked at Chu Mengying and Chu Huazhang with a little contempt: "The old lady has returned to her hometown, and the master handed over the signs in the mansion to the third lady. If the third lady hadn't spoken to redeem you back, you would think about what would happen to you? So when you return to the mansion, you must not cause trouble, just live a peaceful life."
Chu Huazhang and Chu Mengying were a little overwhelmed for a moment.
The incident happened too suddenly and too quickly. In one night, they lost their mother and their family was separated. Even the one who managed the inner house at home became Chu Junlan. The one who saved them was not their expected father, but Chu Junlan who had always been against them!
And in the blink of an eye, they went from the second lady and the fourth master of the Chu family to the servant who even Liang Hui could be scolded at will!
"Liang Hui, I advise you to think more about your words." Chu Huazhang was angry, "My father was just angry for a moment and didn't say he wanted to save us, but we were still a family. You are just a servant. You spoke wildly several times and scolded us. Do you really think that our aunt is gone and there is no place for us to stand at home?"
Liang Hui smiled: "What you said is that the villain is just a housekeeper, and he is indeed not qualified to train the Second Miss and the Fourth Young Master, but you two are the emperors and emperors who have transferred their ranks to slaves. Now we are all the same people, who is more noble than who?"
Chu Huazhang was speechless when he said it. Just as he was about to argue a few more words, he saw Chu Junlan and Zi Yan coming towards him.
He couldn't help swallowing it before he could say it. In the past, they were all the same people, and Chu Huazhang could not beat Chu Junlan. Now Chu Huazhang was inexplicably timid when he saw Chu Junlan.
Chu Mengying looked at Chu Junlan silently, her heart gradually calmed down, tears streaming, and a smile gratified, and said with a knee: "Thank you for saving your life for the third sister! If you hadn't come, I and your fourth brother wouldn't know what would happen."
Chu Junlan looked at Chu Mengying bent her knees and kept her salute posture, but did not move, but just told Liang Hui:
"The emperor issued an order to be slaves. If I buy people back, I will take risks. If they still put on the airs of the master and go home to continue living the life of the young lady and the young master, then the Chu family will be disrespectful to the orders on the surface. When Housekeeper Liang returns, he will find a nanny in charge to teach him."
"Yes, Miss Third, don't worry." Liang Hui was respectful.
Chu Mengying and Chu Huazhang were speechless for a moment, and they never expected Chu Junlan would do this in public!
"Three sister..." Chu Mengying sobbed and then choked, "No, Miss Three, thank you for saving our siblings no matter what."
Chu Mengying saluted again, like a little cabbage who was bullied in the bitter wind and rain.
Many people around have looked here, but there is no other reason. One reason is that Chu Mengying and Chu Huazhang are the special identities among the servants sold today, and the other is that the Chu family is really good. Chu Junlan's appearance is even more outstanding. Even if it is covered by a veil, it still cannot cover her allure.
Someone couldn't help but whisper.
"Who is that kneeling down? Isn't it the lady of the Chu family?"
"You are too ignorant. That is the daughter of the concubine who assassinated the emperor. Have you seen that the person next to you wearing a light blue dress and a white veil is the Little Medical Immortal."
"Tsk tsk, it's really a little doctor fairy, full of fairy spirit."
...
Everyone was talking nonsense, and Chu Mengying was looking forward to everyone saying a few words for her. She knew how clear her weakness and Chu Junlan's strength were.
But she didn't expect that these people were all claiming to be "little doctor immortals" and didn't even take her seriously.
Chu Junlan said, "No need to thank you. If you can think less in the future, it would be great if everyone can live a peaceful life. Go home."
Chu Junlan turned around and took Zi Yan away from the crowd.
Zi Yan said: "Miss Third, what did she mean just now? I want to slander you in front of outsiders?"
“It doesn’t matter.”
Zi Yan was very angry, "She was obviously delusional and still wanted to belittle the lady and raise herself up. Why was she so shameless!"
Chu Junlan heard her scolding and couldn't help laughing: "Now you don't care about your words."
"That's right, now I'm all slaves. Am I afraid of her?"
Zi Yan's words were straightforward and her voice was not deliberately lowered. Chu Mengying and Chu Huazhang listened sincerely from behind, and they were embarrassed in their faces.
Yes, now they are slaves, and even those who can be scolded by slaves in the Chu family are not considered over-the-counter.
Before they arrived at the Chu family, Chu Mengying and Chu Huazhang were hit by reality and were hit by stars.
Do they really have to serve people now after they go back?
This problem continued until I returned to my mansion and met Chu Cailiang.
Chu Cailiang's face was gloomy. He looked at Chu Mengying and Chu Huazhang kneeling on the ground. His hands were sometimes tightly clenched and sometimes relaxed, and he was wandering for a while.
Liang Hui said respectfully: "Master, the third lady said that the emperor personally changed his slave family to the people who have changed their slaves. It is already a risk that we can redeem them."
Needless to say, Chu Cailiang's thoughts that he could not break away just now became clear.
Yes, at this critical moment, the Chu family dare not get into trouble anymore!
