After listening to Mu Xu's words, Qiege did not go back to the inn, but ordered Qingqian to divert to the direction of Chunhualou.

Chunhualou is located in the most prosperous area of ​​Suzhou. If you want to go there, you have to go through some markets, and there are many people in the market, plus some peddlers, it takes some time to drive a horse-drawn carriage.

The carriage was driving very slowly, and Ge Muxu was bored sitting in the carriage, so he opened the curtains and looked at the people outside the carriage.

Mu Xu glanced inadvertently, and saw a woman in mourning kneeling in front of her, and a wooden board standing next to it, vaguely saw the words "sell her body to bury her father" written on it, and the people who came and went looked at her and left, many of them stopped The person who made an inquiry, but perhaps the price was not negotiated, also left.

Coincidentally at this time, Qingqian said: "Master, Ma'am, the front is blocked, I'm afraid we won't be able to pass for a while."

Mu Xu felt pity suddenly, and wanted to jump up to have a look, but it happened to be blocked, Qingqian said that again, and suggested: "Why don't we get out of the car and walk?"

In the carriage, even if he was sitting, he was tired, so it was better to get out of the carriage for some activities, and Qige agreed to Mu Xu's proposal.

Mu Xu stepped on the stool and got out of the carriage, then turned around and helped Qie Ge down.

Moreover, although Ge wanted to walk, he had no purpose, so he followed Mu Xu, and Mu Xu was unambiguous, and went directly to the woman who sold her body to bury her father.

And although the song is deep in the imperial palace, I have seen many people who sold their bodies to bury their fathers. It would be fine if they were bought by a good-tempered master, but if they were bought by a bad-tempered master, it would often fail.

Looking at Mu Xu like this, it doesn't seem like he is watching the excitement, but it seems that he wants to take control.

Kindness is a good thing, but in this world, there are so many people who sell themselves to bury their fathers, how much can Mu Xu control?

Mu Xu stopped in front of the woman and took a closer look. What was written on the wooden board was actually selling her body to bury her father, but the handwriting on it was crooked, and one of the words was even smeared out. It seems that she had just learned it not long ago.

The woman has been here for three days, and she has been kneeling since morning until now, not to mention her legs are numb, and she hasn't even taken a sip of saliva, she is already dizzy from hunger.

In the past three days, many people have come to ask, but some either left after asking the price, or told her to come back after taking the money, but none of them came back.

The woman was a little disappointed, but she had nothing else to sell except herself. His father was still lying at home, and the sun was shining brightly. If this continues, there is absolutely no way out. He also weighed in his heart whether to beg the shopkeeper of the coffin shop again, begging him to sell the coffin to her cheaper.

If it doesn't work anymore, then the only option is to dress up and go to the place of fireworks. In short, she must let her father walk in a decent way, so as not to waste her father's kindness in nurturing her.

"The girl sells her body to bury her father?"

The woman raised her head when she heard the sound, and when she saw Mu Xu, there was a flash of surprise in her eyes, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, what a beautiful young man!

Realizing that she had lost her composure, the woman immediately lowered her head, there was nothing she could see.

"Returning to this son, slaves can do anything, chopping firewood, boiling water and cooking, slaves can do anything, I just hope that you can bury my father, slaves are willing to follow you forever, and be cattle and horses for you." After finishing speaking, the woman asked Mu Xu kowtows.

"I can't, I can't, please hurry up, girl."

Where Mu Xu stopped, there was a woman who knocked fast, and before she was pulled up, she had already knocked one.

Just as Mu Xu was about to touch the woman's arm, unexpectedly the woman dodged it, moved her knees back a little, and then kowtowed to Mu Xu, "I beg you sir, you can let the servant do whatever you want, even if it is Both slaves and concubines are willing.”

Because of the woman's actions, more and more people watched the excitement around, and when Mu Xu found out, they had already been surrounded.

Mu Xu is kind-hearted, but she can't see someone suffering, so she thinks she can help as much as possible. Fortunately, she didn't forget to ask for money. Anyway, you have to ask her about money.

Mu Xu looked at Qiege, although she didn't say anything, her meaning was obvious. After seeing Qiege nodded, she took out ten taels of silver and handed it to the woman, "You can use the rest of the silver to buy something, my daughter's house How can we live without money."

When the onlookers saw him, they thought he was a rich young man. They didn't expect that the rich young man was good, but unfortunately he was afraid of guilt, and had to ask his wife for even a little money.

Mu Xu seemed to have thought of something again, and simply took out all the money he had saved, and gave it all to the woman.

Holding the silver in her hand, the woman looked at Mu Xu in astonishment. She was just taking a risk, but she didn't expect this young man to really buy her? !

So much silver was given back!

And what Ge did to Mu Xu was dumbfounding, obviously she was not a boudoir girl who had never even been out of the house, before asking how much money, she kept giving it out of pity, this girl would kowtow to everyone Yes, it's just because Mu Xu is a talkative master that he made such a bad move.

Fortunately, women are also honest, "Thank you, my lord, but this money is really too much, I only need three taels of silver."

The onlookers were shocked when they heard this, my good fellow, this woman can really open her mouth like a lion, three taels of silver!

Three liang of silver is enough to buy a few servants, although this girl is good-looking, but she is not worth three liang of silver, this young master is really stupid.

Mu Xu said: "Girl, you don't have to be polite. If you want to thank me, you can thank my wife. The money is all hers."

Only then did the woman turn her eyes away. She looked at Qie Ge beside Mu Xu. She couldn't take her eyes off just by taking one look. She had never seen such a beauty, as if a fairy descended from the earth, standing next to this young master. Together, they are really a pair of lovers.

The onlookers saw that Mu Xu had a lot of stupid money, and some even walked up to Mu Xu, saying how many beautiful women he had in his hands, of all types, and most importantly, they were all cheaper than this woman.

Seeing that her original intention had been distorted like this, how could Mu Xu calm down again, she said: "Girl, the money is given to you, and the girl is still free."

The onlookers were in an uproar. How could this foolish young man with a lot of money still be a prodigal? It was money, and he gave it away for nothing. He didn’t even want anyone. Although a woman is not worth three taels of silver, she is still a poor man. Little girl, not only can serve people, but also can warm the bed, it's not for nothing, besides, it's voluntary, and no one forced her.

The others were so anxious that they could only take the girl home for Mu Xu, but no matter how anxious they were, they were not Mu Xu, let alone make decisions for her.

"This..." The woman's eyes filled with tears, she met a good man today!

But since he sold his body to bury his father, he couldn't take other people's money in vain, let alone accept their favor for nothing.

"Since the young master has given the money, he is the master of the servant, but the money is really too much, so much money, the servant can't take it. If you take it, the conscience of the servant will be troubled. Please take it back!" What Mu Xu said, the woman said again: "If the young master only donates the silver to the slaves and does not buy the slaves, the slaves will not accept the kindness of the young master with peace of mind, and ask the young master to take all the silver back!"

What the woman said made Qie Ge look up to her a little more, she is a person with integrity and principles, and Mu Xu did not help the wrong person.

Mu Xu didn't say a word, and the woman understood that she really didn't want to buy her, so she returned all the money to Mu Xu, then kowtowed to him, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, my servant is selling herself to bury her father. It's not for sympathy."

After all, the woman got up, but because she knelt down for too long and got up too hard, she almost fell to the ground, but at the critical moment, she stabilized her steps.

Looking at Mu Xu's hand hanging in the air, the woman squeezed out a smile from the corner of her mouth, "Young master is a good man."

Mu Xu stood at the same place with the silver, feeling unconvinced for a long time, she had good intentions, but the girl was in urgent need, why didn't she just accept her money? !

Canglan is so big, maybe it won't be seen again after a while, so naturally there is no need to keep this kindness in my heart.

Mu Xu turned around, and before she could ask, she listened and sang: "The girl doesn't want it, so why should the husband make things difficult for him? Could it be possible for her to go to the White Horse Temple to pray for the people who funded the private school just like the husband?"

And the song awakens the dreamer, the woman is in a similar situation to Mu Xu at the beginning, but she can really emulate it.

Mu Xu wanted to discuss with the woman, but when he turned his head, the person disappeared, even the people who were watching dispersed.

"What about the girl?"

Qie Ge stretched out his hand and pointed to the place surrounded by the people not far away.

The closer Mu Xu got, the clearer the quarrel could be heard. What's going on?

Mu Xu quickened her pace, she could vaguely see someone pulling from the gap in the crowd, as well as the sound of a woman crying and begging for mercy. The voice belonged to that woman just now.

There were too many onlookers, and Mu Xu couldn't squeeze through for a while. Just when she was about to shout, she heard a man shout: "What are you doing!"

The person pulling the woman also stopped, and followed the crowd to look in the direction of the sound.

Seeing a scholar limping over with a stick, everyone sighed, thinking it was a hero who came to save the beauty, but it turned out to be a lame scholar meddling in other people's business.

"How dare you rob a civilian girl in broad daylight, let go of that girl!"

The leader said humanely: "Stinky cripple, get out of here and mind your own business. If you dare to ruin Uncle Meng's good deeds today, I will give you a discount on your other leg!"

Chen Shusheng said angrily: "It's just unreasonable, Meng, you are so justified in robbing women!"

"Sound and confident?" Uncle Meng laughed, "Okay, I have plenty of time today to talk to you, a cripple, and you should listen carefully, and everyone here should listen too. The money just went with me, but now I don’t count what I said, and I regretted it, tell me, did I make sense of it?”

"Tell me, is there any reason?"

Everyone who was questioned dared not say a word. No one knew that his surname Meng was a dog raised by Xu Yao. He would bite anyone who caught him on weekdays. He did all kinds of evil. No one was afraid of him. It's a pity that this girl is destined to be saved by no one.

The woman controlled by the two servants had tears all over her face and helplessness in her eyes, she could only shake her head, this man surnamed Meng was obviously talking nonsense!

How could Chen Shusheng not know the character of Meng, "What you said is just your own side, why don't you ask that girl, what you said is the truth?"

The woman shook her head quickly, and said in a crying voice: "He's talking nonsense, he's talking nonsense, I clearly haven't seen him yesterday!"

As soon as the woman finished speaking, she was slapped by Meng, "This damn bitch, how dare you talk nonsense!"

The woman's face immediately swelled up, and the corners of her mouth were also smeared with blood, but she still kept saying: "Help me, save me! Please help me, I will repay you even if I am a bull or a horse, please! Already!"

She wanted to kowtow to everyone, but her hand was pulled again, making her unable to move at all.

All the onlookers had a family, and this man surnamed Meng, they didn't even have time to hide on weekdays, so how could they spread this muddy water? Many of them knew the scholar, and they all whispered to him to stop meddling in his business , If it hurts oneself, it is asking for trouble.

Chen Shusheng is not willing, what he dislikes the most is those dog officials bullying the market, but he has no choice but to be trapped by Xu Yao, making him unable to escape, but as long as he is not stupid and can write articles, Xu Yao will definitely I won't do anything to him.

"The surname Meng, she just said it all, and she has never seen you! You are too much, how dare you hit a woman!"

As if wanting to anger Chen Shusheng, the man surnamed Meng turned around and slapped the woman on the other side of the face, and then looked at Chen Shusheng provocatively, as if saying, what can you do to me?

Chen Shusheng was really irritated by his actions. He reads all the books of sages and sages, so he doesn't know how to curse people. If it's okay in other places, he can report to the official for a try, but in Suzhou, it's useless to report to the official. He can only rely on him to fight hard, maybe he can save this girl from the sea of ​​suffering.

"what--"

Chen Shusheng yelled suddenly, and everyone, including the one surnamed Meng, was taken aback.

The one surnamed Meng hadn't recovered from the surprise just now, and there was some timidity in his voice, "What do you want!"

"It's really shameless! Meng, see if I don't beat you to death!"

"what--"

"what--"

While shouting, Chen Shusheng held up his stick and limped towards the man surnamed Meng enduring the pain.

The man surnamed Meng hurriedly backed away, and pulled three or two servants to stand in front of him. Normally, they could do whatever they wanted, and no one had the guts to copy things from them. After all, Master Xu Yaoxu was standing behind them. Who would be so reckless to offend Mr. Xu, so they never carry knives or sticks when they go out on the street, they just rely on their faces.

Now there is a lame scholar who is not afraid of death, who is not afraid of Mr. Xu, and even sticks at them, how can this not make them both confused and afraid.

The man surnamed Meng really wanted to kill the servants in front of him, they were all worthless things, and he was afraid of a scholar, but after thinking about it, he took a few steps back.

"oops--"

As soon as he ran to Meng, before the stick fell, Chen Shusheng accidentally fell to the ground.

The servant in front looked relieved, "Master Meng, this scholar fell down."

Hearing this, the man surnamed Meng became more courageous, hurriedly pushed away the servant in front of him, kicked the scholar's stick far away, and brought the villain's ambition to the limit, "Oh, you lame scholar, you still want to Hit me, I think you are tired of living, look, even the sky is helping me!"

The man surnamed Meng walked up to the woman, he knelt down, and the woman turned her head away when she saw her, how could the man surnamed Meng let her go, he pinched her chin and forced her to look at her, "You stinky bitch, follow me!" You don’t want to eat hot and spicy food, but here you are pretending to be a chaste and strong woman, what kind of pretense are you pretending to me!”

"Today I want to see, who else dares to fight against me!"

The woman gouged out the surname Meng fiercely, but unfortunately the surname Meng was thick-skinned, so she was completely ignored. In other words, the more unwilling she was, the happier he was and the more he wanted to force it.

The man surnamed Meng turned his head, looked at Chen Shusheng who was suppressed by the servant, and said, "Cripple, show me a good look. I'm robbing her today. What can you do with me?"

Chen Shu was furious and unable to break free, he could only shout: "You shameless person, shameless person!!!"

The man surnamed Meng laughed loudly, he got up and said to the servant: "Come here, give this girl to the master and I will carry it back to the mansion!"

This has not taken three or two steps, only one person said: "Slow!"

The one surnamed Meng stopped and asked, "Who is talking?"

The servant beside him repeated: "Who is it?"

"who is it?"

"Get out, my master!"

The people surnamed Meng looked at all shook their heads and waved their hands, expressing that it wasn't them.

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to do such a thing in public?" Mu Xu said.

It was only then that the surnamed Meng saw who came, it turned out to be a white-faced young man, "Who are you, how dare you meddle in my uncle Meng's affairs, report your name."

"It's just a passer-by, just like this young master, they all see injustice on the road."

The woman's dim eyes lit up instantly, it was that kind young man!

But soon, the woman's heart sank again, she only hoped that this kind young man would leave quickly, don't offend the surnamed Meng because of her, and cause disaster for nothing, that would be her fault.

Seeing the woman looking at Mu Xu, the surnamed Meng asked, "You mother-in-law know her?"

The woman snorted coldly, then turned her head, ignoring the man surnamed Meng.

Heh, no matter who she is, Master Xu has the final say in the whole of Suzhou. Others are not even farts. So polite!"

It was the group of people who watched the show, everyone dared not speak out against the surnamed Meng, and Mu Xu was so generous at that time, so many people cheered for her.

The man surnamed Meng can also see it now. If this is the case, then he can't make Mu Xu feel better.

"I don't understand, why meddle in other people's business?" Mu Xu said again: "This girl denied what you said just now, and said that she had never met you, but to tell the truth, she got slapped. Have you ever thought about it? Is this what a gentleman does?"

The surnamed Meng knew he was wrong, but he didn't want to admit it, so he started messing around, "The woman I bought, I can beat you whenever I want, and I don't care about your business. It's you, she's not who you are, what are you meddling with? Could it be her concubine!"

Mu Xu was not annoyed by the dirty water poured by Meng, as the so-called clean ones clean themselves, "I am not someone from this girl, but I just met once."

Mu Xu paused for a moment, and then said: "Just now everyone saw that this girl sold herself to bury her father, and I gave this girl some money. Since you really like this girl so much, you want to buy this girl again." Girl, do you have to ask me if I agree or not? The rule of first come, first served, don't I need to talk about it?"

The man surnamed Meng thought about it carefully, and it was really difficult, but at this moment, the servant next to him whispered something in his ear.

"Heh, don't you fucking fool me, you said you bought this woman, why is she still kneeling here, and there is a sign beside her to sell her body to bury her father? What do you say?"

The servant beside him echoed: "Yes, you say it! Say it!"

"What about the money for selling your body to bury your father?"

Mu Xu smiled, not in a hurry, and explained one by one: "The reason why the girl is kneeling here is that I guess the girl didn't hear what I said to my wife. The purchase is indeed a purchase, but this purchase is different from the previous ones." It is different, but for silver, there are many people in this market, it is not safe for a girl to carry these silver at home, my husband and I are afraid that she will be missed by thieves, so I handed it over to Madam for safekeeping."

The onlookers laughed and said, "It turned out to be a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

"It was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

Mu Xu said, "Did you understand what I said?"

The one surnamed Meng said, "I would like to know, what's the difference between your purchase and the previous purchase!"

"Forgive me, I can't say this, only this girl can know. If you really want to know, it's not impossible for me to tell you, but you need to..."

The one surnamed Meng who hated people the most was halfway through speaking, and quickly asked: "What do you want?"

"You need to come up with a price. After I buy you, you will know."

Hey, isn't this clearly scolding him?

Coincidentally, a servant was afraid that the surnamed Meng would not understand, and reminded: "Master, he is scolding you!"

The onlookers were so enthusiastic after hearing this that they almost applauded. It was rare to be so relieved, seeing that the surnamed Meng was devastated.

The man surnamed Meng wanted to teach Mu Xu a lesson. At this time, a man squeezed into the crowd and whispered something in his ear. After hearing this, his face changed drastically, and he said to Mu Xu, "You wait for me!"

After that, he took the people away.
