After redemption, he took away the luck of the future queen

The scene fell silent.

Rich Man Hu felt a little guilty when he saw Hu Pianhuo's firm and magnanimous gaze.

"Master Hu, my cousin and I want to redeem ourselves."

Hu Pianxuan's words were astonishing.

Hu Dashan:! ! !

Everyone was stunned in place, and the few people who had been watching the excitement around the tree pit at first also gathered around. They couldn't believe that on the way to escape, the two brothers and sisters actually wanted to redeem themselves. Without the protection of the rich man Hu, It is not that difficult to survive.

Hearing Hu Pianxuan say that he wanted to redeem himself, Rich Man Hu couldn't help but grin. He originally thought that she would be bitten to death by a poisonous snake while burning incense, so he wrapped her in a straw mat and threw her to the side of the road, and that was it.

But what he didn't expect was that Burning Incense was not dead, so he thought of leaving Burning Incense alone. He didn't want to bring a useless maid with him, which would not delay his journey and save food. As for leaving Burning Incense, His daughter Mingyu also agreed, and he didn't have any psychological burden.

Now, I just threw away the incense and let her fend for herself. I didn't kill her or sell her. It was out of kindness for the sake of her fellow tribesmen.

It's good now, this maid actually said to redeem herself at this time.

Redemption costs money, so doesn't he get a sum of money?

Knowing that there was money coming in, Rich Man Hu suddenly felt very good.

It is true that he makes money wherever he goes, and the escape is no exception. No wonder the fortune tellers say that he is destined to be rich. He will have endless money in his life, and his wealth is boundless. His daughter Mingyu is the woman with the best destiny in the world. He is so angry. Extraordinary luck, doesn't this mean that his daughter is destined to be a queen? Only the queen is the most blessed woman in the world, and her luck is unstoppable.

Seeing Hu Hu's face change from gloomy to sunny, Hu Pianxuan knew that he agreed, so he went directly to the topic, not bothering to talk nonsense.

"Master, if I remember correctly, my cousin and I were bought by the master after paying the rent on the land, right? I wonder how much a year's rent is worth?" It can actually be worth a human life.

Rich Man Hu heard these words, but he thought that Hu Pianxuan was questioning his approach, and he wanted to settle things with the girl in front of him.

"Little girl, you have such a strong tone. You have never farmed, how do you know the value of a year's rent on the land? Your grandfather leased fifty acres of land from my family, and half of the harvest from the fifty acres of land was sold. After renting the house, the remaining grain will be enough to feed your family of dozens of people."

"I'm going to talk to you about the land rent right now, so that others won't say that I, Hu, am bullying you, a little girl with braids. Let me tell you this, one acre of land can yield three stones of millet, fifty acres. The land can harvest one hundred and fifty shi of millet, and the rent your family has to pay is half of that, seventy-five shi.”

"Seventy-five shi of millet is worth twenty taels of silver in normal times. I'm right. But as you know, the first few years were all years of famine. These seventy-five shi of millet were worth no matter what in the famine years." It’s worth thirty or forty taels of silver.”

"Let me tell you, the reason why you were able to pay the rent back then was entirely because Hu looked after your family for the sake of his fellow clan members. Hu went to Yahang to buy a maid, and it only cost ten taels of silver. , and you, it cost me forty taels of silver to buy it."

Rich Man Hu talked to Hu Pianhuan in a serious manner. He spoke eloquently and did not mention Hu Dashan at all, only Hu Pianhuo. It seemed that Rich Man Hu did not want Hu Dashan to redeem himself.

But he didn't know that he had fallen into the trap set by Pian Huan in advance.

When Hu Dashan heard that it would cost him forty taels of silver to redeem his cousin, whatever confidence he had left in his heart was gone.

Hu Pianhan raised his head and took a leisurely look at Hu Mingyu, who was looking over here. Then he looked around at Hu Jiafeng and all the servants of the Hu family who were standing behind the rich man Hu. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Langsheng said to the rich man Hu: "Mr. Hu, in your eyes, my life is only worth one year's rent and forty taels of silver. What about your daughter's life? How much is it worth?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Hu Mingyu. Hu Mingyu's face darkened and he looked sulky. He was so brave to burn incense. He looked at her as if she were an object. She was not an object, let alone a lowly slave. Why? Can be measured in money like a slave.

After hearing Hu Pianxuan's words, Rich Man Hu snorted with great disdain, frowned, and secretly thought, "You are a yellow-haired girl, how dare you compare yourself to Hu's daughter." He turned around and glanced at his daughter who was destined to be a queen. He straightened his chest and said boldly to Pian He: "Huangmao girl, my daughter can't be exchanged for a thousand pieces of gold. You said you wanted to redeem her life yourself. Bring me forty taels of silver and I will return the body deed to you immediately."

If he can't get forty taels of silver, he will sell you immediately to relieve the anger in his heart.

Hearing that Rich Man Hu once again mentioned the forty taels of silver needed to redeem his life, Hu Dashan looked at his cousin Hu Pianxuan nervously.

Hu Pianhan smiled at Hu Dashan, then raised his eyebrows and said to Rich Man Hu in front of everyone present: "Mr. Hu, Miss Mingyu is worth thousands of gold, but you said it yourself, and everyone heard it. Right? Yesterday, my cousin and I saved Miss Mingyu's life. Everyone saw it, right? Mr. Hu hasn't thanked us yet. This thank you gift, not to mention a thousand pieces of gold, I believe Mr. Hu will always give us a hundred dollars. Can Jin come as a thank you gift?"

"My cousin and I also saved the young lady's life for the sake of our own clan. We don't need a hundred gold tokens of thanks. As long as you return my cousin and I's body bond, it's such a light token of gratitude. , I believe Mr. Hu won’t be reluctant, right?”

What Hu Pianheng said was reasonable and well-founded. He did not mention that the original owner was plotted by Hu Mingyu and used it to block the snake from being pushed into the snake pit. I believe Hu Mingyu did not dare to say it at this time. Hu Mingyu could only hold his nose and accept this loss. .

Who told her to have evil intentions and not take the maid's life as her fate?

Rich Man Hu's face turned pale, and he regretted having underestimated Fenxiang. He didn't expect that he would fall into the hands of a yellow-haired girl today. Yesterday, everyone witnessed Fenxiang and Dashan saving his daughter Mingyu. This is an indisputable fact.

Now, Burning Incense wants back the bond between the two of them. This request she made is not excessive at all, and it can be said that he took advantage of Burning Incense.

If he does not return the body deed to his daughter Mingyu's savior now, it will chill the hearts of everyone present. Then on the next journey, which servant will sincerely protect his whole family?

Alas, I shouldn't have thought of giving up burning incense in the first place. Now, it was really a waste of money, and Rich Man Hu regretted it a little.

But he was very good at reflection and knew how to stop his losses in time. He was twisting and turning in his mind, trying to get back the situation that was unfavorable to him. After thinking for a moment, he said righteously: "Well, yes, what you said is indeed true." For this reason, I also wanted to thank you, so I let you say it first. Since you have said that you don’t want my hundred gold thank you gift, I, Mr. Hu, will not treat you badly. Your body deed will be returned to you, and in addition, I will give you ten liters of millet as a thank you gift."

After saying that, Rich Man Hu had a serious face and ordered everyone to pack their things, saying that he would leave immediately. He did not want to stay in this place for a moment longer.

It was just ten liters of millet, so just give it to them as charity. If they wanted more, he wouldn't give it to them.

Pian He: "..."

Rich Man Hu, even if you give me a lot, I don’t dare to ask for it. Who knows if you will hold a grudge because of this. After you leave, you will come back and take my things back and kill me.

I am self-aware and cannot be greedy without the ability to protect myself.

After Rich Man Hu spoke, everyone dispersed in a hurry, and everyone went about their own business.

Hu Pianxuan and Hu Dashan stood there. Hu Jiafeng looked at Burning Incense up and down. He saw the light of unyielding and stubbornness in the eyes of slave Burning Incense, and the previous weakness, meekness and obedience were gone.

He seemed to see an invisible sense of pride in her body. How could this be possible?

Hu Jiafeng suppressed the doubts rising in his heart and turned around and walked towards his sister Hu Mingyu.
