South of the Five Ridges is the territory of the Song Clan. Back then, Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty and pacified the Quartet. Only the Lingnan could not be attacked for a long time. In the end, Fan Qinghui, the master of Cihang Jingzhai, came forward to make the leader of the Song Clan, Song Que, to proclaim his vassal to the Sui Dynasty.

However, professing a minister is only on the surface. For 20 years, the Song Dynasty listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement. The army was mobilized and the people recuperated. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty sent troops to the south several times, but there was no result. Now Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty collapsed and the world was in chaos. Living and working in peace and contentment, the Lingnan army occupies one side, and it is already the most likely to win among the heroes in the late Sui Dynasty.

When Li Che heard Huiqing bring up the old affairs of the Song Clan, he couldn't understand why the Song Clan refused to take action by himself, but instead went to support Kou Zhong, and gave a lot of supplies to the Young Marshal Army. It would be a trick to deceive people, but Huiqing paused, and only said that this was also part of the agreement between Fan Zhaizhu and Song Que.

Li Che made up a complete story chain through the gossip he heard. He guessed that Song Que should have had a relationship with Fan Qinghui back then, and Fan Qinghui had been in love with Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty for a long time. He chose Yang Jian without hesitation, led Cihang Jingzhai to help Yang Jian become emperor, but Song Que couldn't ask for it, and was greatly hurt by his feelings, so he was disheartened and became a minister to Yang Jian. From then on, he was obsessed with martial arts and no longer cared about the disputes in the world .

The reason why he supported Kou Zhong this time was probably because Yang Jian was dead and the Sui Dynasty was dead, and his fighting spirit was rekindled. He promised Fan Qinghui not to fight again, but he was not reconciled, so he prepared to support himself to fight for the world .

What a sad and helpless story.

After he told this story to Li Ning, Li Ning was also very moved, thinking that the leader of the Song Dynasty is really a good man who values ​​love and righteousness.

Until I heard that Song Que married a famous ugly girl in middle age, and gave birth to one daughter and four sons, and rumors spread all over the world, saying that the chieftain of Song Dynasty married an ugly woman because he had never forgotten his old love for Master Fanzhai.

If the wife is ugly, she will not be misunderstood by the Master Fan Zhai to empathize with another.

Li Ning was immediately unmoved, and not only was she unmoved, she even blew three thunderclaps on a sunny day.

Li Che was already used to his sister thundering whenever he was in a bad mood. After getting used to it, he still felt that the thunder sound was kind.

The aristocratic family is too far away from ordinary people, so just listen to the story. Compared with this, Li Ning is more concerned about the lack of a servant in the family.

Brother and sister live together. To be honest, it doesn’t matter if there are servants or not. It’s not necessary to hire people to do the laundry and cooking. However, Li Che has to go to the academy every morning to study, and at noon he has to deal with all kinds of problems in the academy. Dun, I didn't come back until evening, and I couldn't catch up with the time to buy vegetables. Li Ning would be stared at when she went out to buy vegetables. After that time, she was a little reluctant to go out.

According to Li Che, it is best to hire a hard-working woman, while Li Ning wants a maid of the same age. In the end, Li Che compromised with Li Ning, but the next day he asked for leave and went around the city. , and did not find a company that hired people.

Later, a classmate from a good family told him that there is no special place to hire people these days, and the powerful families only use the family to give birth to children, that is, the children of servants, who are born to work for the master's family from generation to generation. Most of the people who trade there are refugees.

Li Che understood, there is no employment business here, only slave trade.

Great Xia slavery has a long history, and most of them are captives taken from other countries during the war between the two countries, because they are all young adults who have killed people. Although the price is low, almost no common people are willing to buy and sell, and most of them are off the battlefield He was bought to work in mining. He had only heard about it, but hadn't seen it yet.

Li Che had no objection to slavery. Hearing that there were both male and female slaves here, he decided to buy one and take it home.

The human population is traded in the west market in the city, because Li Ning wants a contemporaneous peer, and a female slave of this age is much more expensive. Li Che himself doesn't care much about appearance, but he is not going to buy a crooked one. Jujube, last time the jade pendant was exchanged for a lot of gold. Before leaving Luoyang, Li Ning pawned the bead strings brought from Daxia, so they were quite rich on hand. With less money left, Li Che was going to buy a better maid.

However, when he arrived in West Market, Li Che realized that the so-called human trafficking here was far from what he had imagined.

Men and women are shrunk naked in the prison, with only a number plate hanging around their necks. Whenever someone comes to choose, someone will stick a wooden stick into the railing and order them to stand up for others to choose.

The slave trade that Li Che imagined was not like this.

But the classmate who enthusiastically accompanied him to the selection was full of interest, and even called a familiar man, boy, and asked him if he had any high-quality goods.

Li Che was dragged to the place where the high-end goods were bought and sold in a daze.

To be honest, if he hadn't seen the horrible scene like the cattle trade first, the appearance in front of him would be closer to the slave trade that Li Che imagined.

The slaves for sale here are dressed in neat clothes and are well-groomed. Some pretty young girls even have smiles on their faces, which comforts him a little.

The classmate Lin Qi said at this time: "Don't be fooled by their appearance, they have sweet smiles on their faces, and they still don't know what they are thinking in their hearts. They have beautiful smiles just to be sold in West Market, otherwise they will be sold in a few days. There will be a brothel to recruit people."

Li Che glanced at his classmate.

Lin Qi quickly disregarded the relationship and said, "Don't get me wrong, I've only seen it a few times with other people, and never bought it. My mother said that these people look clean, but they are actually very dirty. The more beautiful they are, the dirtier they are. But you are buying a maid, not doing anything else."

In fact, Lin Qi's appearance is fairly decent, but when he smiles, he always has a dog-legged atmosphere. He didn't do it on purpose, but he was born to love beauties. Although Li Che is a man, his personality is still cold, but beauties don't distinguish between genders. A few more glances are earned.

In fact, Li Che already wanted to leave.

But at this moment, there was a commotion on the high platform not far away, and Li Che took another look.

A woman in light yellow clothes was driven to the stage together with the crowd, but at a glance, it seemed that she could only see the face of that one person.

Lin Qi also took a look, and then he was stunned. He tugged at Li Che's sleeve and said, "That's really a beauty, how did she end up in this situation? I don't know how much it will cost? Sigh, I never Those who can’t save money can only look at it.”

Li Che asked Lin Qi, "What is that high platform for? How do the people on it sell it?"

The ones on the stage can only look twice, while the ones around him can look at them for three years. Lin Qi withdrew his gaze and quickly said, "There are good goods sent from all over there, from the rich and the aristocratic, to the refugees, as long as they meet the requirements Standard, you can go up to the auction, let me see..."

He went over to look at it, and said regretfully when he came back: "It turns out that Miss Sui Guan, whose parents both died, was sold by bandits. It's really a pity."

Li Che frowned, but the world is like this, it is not bad to be able to protect himself, he sighed, pointed to a handsome girl on the high platform, and said to Ren Yazi: "That's it, please ask me a price , within ten taels of silver."

Ren Yazi nodded and bowed and went.

When he came back, he brought two women with him, one of which was the one Li Che pointed out earlier, and the other was the extremely beautiful woman in light yellow clothes.

Ren Yazi said with a smile: "We are also doing business in a serious way, and buyers and sellers have to get their own consent. The young master is referring to Miss Wanwan's maid. She refuses to leave Miss Wanwan. It's just right. This Wanwan girl has a poor background, she just came here for a day, she immediately fell in love with the young master, and the young master bought a pair back, so she can add fragrance in the middle of the night and wait for the pen and ink."

Li Che glanced at the Wanwan girl, and couldn't help frowning: "I don't want someone to wait on me, I just want a maid who buys vegetables, cooks, and washes clothes. ..."

Ren Yazi quickly said: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, master and servant together, only 100 taels of silver!"

Li Che had no sympathy for beauty, but said, "Brother Lin said, five taels of silver for ordinary maids, and less than ten taels of silver for those who are more pleasing to the eye, this is my budget."

Lin Qi swallowed, gave Li Che a hand, and said, "Brother Li, this deal can be done. If you don't want to buy it, I'll buy it!"

Miss Wanwan looked up at Lin Qi, but she lowered her head and hid behind the maid.

Ren Yazi took a look at Miss Wanwan, and quickly persuaded Li Che, "Young master, ten taels of silver is the average price of ordinary goods. Look at this girl Wanwan, who is as beautiful as a flower, not only can you take it out, but also..."

Li Che didn't want to take a young lady home for nothing. He shook his head when he heard the words, and just about to speak, he heard the Wanwan girl whisper: "I can also wash clothes, cook, and take care of housework. , I will definitely not touch it."

Li Che paused, and said, "Do you know how to read?"

Miss Wanwan said in a soft voice: "I have read some books, can write a few strokes, and master some piano and chess."

In the end, Li Che spent 100 taels of silver to buy the master and servant, for no other reason. He was studying in the academy during the day, and Li Ning was alone at home. Even if he found a maid to talk to her, it would not last long. It is worthwhile to find someone to teach her how to read and read.

Li Che bought someone, went around the East Market, and bought two large boxes of books. He carried one box by himself, and let the two weak women behind him struggle to carry the other box without any mercy.

The two big boxes of books are for Li Ning.

At this time, Li Ning didn't know that the nightmare was coming, and the autumn air was crisp. She was laying out a mat and peeling beans under the ginkgo tree in the yard.

A large basket of beans, peeled for a while, stood up and jumped a few times, then sat back and peeled, and went to play in the water after a while, and then peeled after playing. Others could finish the job in an hour or two. She peeled all afternoon.

There was a man standing on a tall building not far away, just watching her peel the beans all afternoon.
