The female supporting role has arrived on the battlefield

Chapter 42
"Yinqiao, you and I go shopping around."

It is said to be hanging out, but it is not. Ji Ning's main purpose is to go to the dental shop to find some ambitious and intelligent maids to buy for Wan Cen, so that he can be distracted earlier.

Besides, after finally arriving in the capital, she didn't want to face Wan Cen's scumbag face.

Ji Ning was worrying about how to find the address of the tooth shop, but he didn't want to be surrounded by a group of people who seemed to be discussing something vaguely.

"Ma'am, it's crowded in front, how about..."

"Let's go ahead and have a look."

Xu Shi was busy with getting better and better in his career in his previous life, so besides working, he just went out to travel and eat delicious food, and he didn't have much time to join in the fun.

But this time, Ji Ning was more interested.

As we got closer, although the people in front couldn't see what was going on inside, the people around were discussing. Ji Ning seemed to hear the words 'sell your body to bury your father', and couldn't help but patted the lady in front of you.

"Ma'am, may I ask what's going on inside? Why do I seem to have heard that someone sold his body to bury his father?"

The aunt was worrying that the people around her were unfamiliar and no one was talking, so when Ji Ning asked this question, he said everything like falling beans.

After hearing this, Ji Ning couldn't help admiring in his heart, the aunt's words were full of how pitiful and proud the woman who sold herself to bury her father was.

Because before, there were aunts or old men who looked at the girl kneeling in the cold weather, and the father beside him was covered with a straw mat, and wanted to give her a penny or two, but he didn't want to be rejected.

"The girl said that no one would be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and everyone's money did not come from strong winds. She was only willing to sell herself to bury her father, and did not want to accept charity."

Thinking of the old lady's words in his mind, Ji Ning couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Although it's only December and it's not the coldest time yet, but if that woman is really a filial daughter, she would sell her body to bury her father, shouldn't the most urgent task be to raise enough money earlier to let her father be buried in peace, okay? ?

The capital is prosperous, but there are also many ordinary people. It is not a problem to buy a pair of wooden coffins and paper money for one or two taels of silver.

It can be seen that the woman is actually not very filial. The reason why she doesn't accept such a tael of silver is probably because she wants to catch bigger fish with it.

Generally, such a person with high self-esteem has enough ambition and good looks.

Ji Ning couldn't help being more interested, and he and Yinqiao squeezed into the crowd.

As she imagined, the woman was dressed in white and knelt on the ground. She was dressed a bit thinly, and there was a person covered with straw mats, and a wooden board was standing in front of her. The words 'ask for 20 taels of silver to sell her body to bury her father' were written in grand style. , it seems that it should not be written by a woman.

The woman looked around with tears in her eyes, and I saw her pitiful look, which made many people look sideways, but when they saw the 20 taels of silver written on the wooden board, they retreated.

Most of the rich and powerful people are human beings, so it is not difficult to see the woman's mind, and the people who are really fooled by her, even if they want to help her, they can't give so much money.

What's more, if you buy such a presumptuous woman for 20 taels and go back, it is also a question of whether it will attract wolves into the house.

The woman's face was a little ugly, and just about to say something, Ji Ning suddenly stepped forward to look at the wooden board: "20 taels of silver to sell yourself, girl, you are really filial."

"Miss Xie Miao Zan, I lost my mother since I was young, and it was not easy for my father to raise me. Now that he is gone, as a daughter, I should take care of his affairs after death. It's a pity that the little girl is penniless."

"Since you are a filial daughter, it means that you want to let your father go to the ground earlier, right? Then what can you do when you talk about prostitution?"

"As long as I can give 20 taels, I can let my father go to the ground earlier. The little girl is willing to be a slave and a handmaiden. I have been dependent on my father since I was a child, and I can do all the trivial things at home."

Ji Ning nodded, took out 20 taels of silver and handed it to her: "Since that's the case, I'm grateful for your filial piety, and I'm willing to buy you back to be a slave, how about it?"

"This"

That woman was naturally unwilling, she wanted to take this opportunity to be brought back to the mansion by the rich son, but she never thought that a woman like Ji Ning would also want to buy her, isn't she afraid that her beauty would threaten the other party's status?

It's just that it's not easy for her to say that in front of everyone, so she just said: "I want to boldly ask whose house the girl belongs to. Although I am willing to be a slave and a handmaid, I will never enter a flower house or be filthy because of this." place."

"You can rest assured that my husband is a candidate. This time I will accompany him to Beijing for the exam. We are from Sanshui County, Yongzhou. We have always had a good reputation in Sanshui County. We are a clean family."

Juren?

The man raised his eyebrows and looked at Ji Ning, even though he was dressed conservatively, he didn't look very old, and he was wearing silk, with a white jade bracelet on his wrist, even if she didn't know much about jade, she knew about such a flawless jade bracelet It must be expensive.

Moreover, Fang Xianggong is a juren, that is to say, he attaches great importance to reputation, and he will not quietly kill people who don't like him like some powerful people.

Liu Zhen felt that she was beautiful and smart. Compared with Ji Ning's attire, she had a great chance of winning. Even if she bought it back as a slave, she might not be able to fly to the branches with her own efforts.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhen's face loosened, and she kowtowed to Ji Ning: "Little girl thank you for this, please allow me to settle down with my father today, and come back tomorrow."

"Of course, it's just that what you said before is quite right. No one's money comes from strong winds. Why don't we sign a contract of sale first?"

Ji Ning's request was reasonable. After signing the contract of selling herself, Ji Ning spent some money to find someone to help her deal with her father's affairs, and half of the time had passed.

On the way back to the inn with Liu Zhen, Ji Ning pretended not to know the situation of Wanjia.

"Liu Zhen, in fact, I bought you back not to make you a slave, but to serve my husband on my behalf."

"Ma'am, this is absolutely unacceptable, you are the upright lady, and slaves dare not think anything wrong."

"If you don't dare to think about it, you have to think about it. Hmph, it's all to blame for that Yan Rou, who was born in a flower house and seduced my husband's soul, but don't worry, she is pregnant and can't come to Beijing, you have to seize the opportunity." Speaking of this, Ji Ning looked around, pulled Liu Zhen to a corner where no one was around, and said in a low voice, "Let me tell you the truth, I can't give birth, and I don't want my husband to be obsessed with that flower girl, if you can If a son is born before that concubine's room, I can give him the position of the first son."

Liu Zhen still lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye, but her tone trembled with fear: "But, didn't Madam just say that that concubine is pregnant?"

"That's because I spent a lot of money to ask someone to treat her. The doctor said that she was pregnant with a girl, so you should seize the opportunity."
