Chapter 328: Selling Wife
Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to go to Jiang Yuan after dinner, and asked him and her to search the village after nightfall. It would be best to get the account book of the transaction of the Zhuangziman vanilla and the exchange of silver and money, so that they could catch An Hong's tail.
After calculating the time, Darong's batch of silk has entered Beijin. In the afternoon, Liu Yunxiang went to Nanmozhai to arrange for people to receive the goods.
She saw Aunt Qiu standing at the end wearing a purple robe, a belt, her hair neatly tied into a high ponytail, and a long sword on her waist. Although she was in her forties, she would be more energetic than the young guy next to her.
Liu Yunxiang gave a few words, which made them set off.
Aunt Qiu walked to the end and asked when she passed by Liu Yunxiang, "Is there really a hundred taels of silver?"
Liu Yunxiang nodded, "The goods were delivered to Jin'an smoothly, and I will pay you the money immediately."
"One hundred taels?"
Liu Yunxiang was funny, "Yes, one hundred taels."
"Why does money seem to be very profitable with you?"
"Well, it's business after all."
"No business is not businessman?"
Liu Yunxiang narrowed her eyes: "The investment cost is high, so naturally the profit is more. This is a serious business."
Aunt Qiu curled her lips, "It seems like someone is not serious."
Liu Yunxiang raised her eyebrows, "I didn't say anything about you."
Aunt Qiu gritted her teeth, "It's clearly talking about me!"
"Oh, you said yes."
Aunt Qiu was so angry that she stamped her feet, but for the sake of one hundred taels of silver, she still held back her anger.
Liu Yunxiang smiled and shook her head. Actually, there is no such thing as money. The ones she sent to receive goods were all her own people, and she only added her one, at most ten taels of silver according to the market.
However, Aunt Qiu is trying to raise the children in the kindergarten, so she should be kind.
After leaving Nanmozhai, Liu Yunxiang walked to the street and saw the blind woman setting up a stall alone.
"I've sold rice cakes, the fragrant and soft rice cakes are just out of the pot!"
At this time, someone came up to buy it. The blind woman muttered in a bag of grease paper: "Don't bully me and steal my rice cake. Although I can't see it, my ears are very flexible. Oh, have you taken one more piece of me? Put it down quickly!"
The woman selling rice cakes said angrily: "If you are blind, you can be wronged. Don't buy it!"
"Hey, I've wrapped it all for you!"
The person has gone far away, and the blind woman can only let her go back helplessly.
The person who set up a stall next to him asked, "Where is your daughter-in-law?"
"I was taken away by my son early in the morning, and I don't know what to do. I can't wait for this big pot of rice cake to cool down and hard, so I have to sell it alone."
When Liu Yunxiang passed by, she happened to hear the blind woman saying this. At first she didn't care, but after walking a few steps, she suddenly thought of what Zijin said to her in the morning.
"Then Chen Hou wanted to go in, but he had no money and wanted to go on credit, so he was called out. The person there even shouted at him: Sell houses, land, and wife and children. As long as you can get the money, you can come in and be a god."
Selling your wife?
Zi Jin said that there is also a business of selling women there.
Thinking of this, Liu Yunxiang hurriedly found Zijin and asked her to pay attention to Lan Niang. But she was still worried. When Zijin and Jiang Yuan set off, she went with them.
When I walked around the back of the temple, I saw a very secret farmhouse, which was dilapidated outside, as if it had been abandoned for a long time. Zijin took her to climb over the wall from the front yard, and then took advantage of the night to avoid patrol. It took a while before I walked around to the back yard.
This place is different from the desolation outside the village and the front yard. Lanterns are lit everywhere. There are yards in all directions, one on one side, and the other three sides are wing rooms, divided into one by one, the doors and windows are closed, and some rooms are white smoke coming out of the room. The whole yard is filled with a bitter fragrance. The maid and servant who serve are holding the incense burner and walking around in each room.
Liu Yunxiang saw a corner door on the west wall again, and a maid came in from there holding an incense burner.
There are still rooms?
She hid in the dark and asked Zijin and Jiang Yuan to find the account book first.
After waiting for a while, she saw a scholar in a plain robe rushing out of a room. He was holding a book in his hand, reading aloud while turning the pages quickly, as if it was very hot, and he tore his clothes at that time, and he was in an extremely excited state.
At this time, another scholar came out of a room, and he was memorizing the article, and his mouth was unclear.
"This top scholar is indeed magical. I am now thinking clearly and I have memorized the obscure and difficult articles I used to recite in a while! This time I will definitely be able to go to high school! I want to be the top scholar and become a high official, with money and power!"
Another scholar ran out of the house, and they were all crazy.
Liu Yunxiang frowned. What is the fragrance of the top scholar? It is clearly a fragrance of the fan. It can really make people feel excited, and it is like a clear mind. However, things can make people addicted, and if they are too much, they will be useless.
Taking advantage of the autumn examination, the owner of the village used this as a gimmick to make this black-hearted money.
Of course, these scholars who don’t study steadily and look at the scholars who are indifferent to the other side, they deserve it.
Just then, Liu Yunxiang saw Chen Hou pulling Lan Niang in.
When Lan Niang saw the crazy scholars in the yard, she was so scared that she hid behind Chen Hou.
"Husband, what is this place? What did you bring me here for?"
Chen Hou grabbed Lan Niang's hands tightly, and his eyes were full of greed. "This is a good place to read. Not only can you read books in your mind, but the light feeling is very wonderful and unforgettable for a lifetime."
At this time, a scholar suddenly stepped forward with Lan Niang's hand, breathing a little tightly, and her face turned red.
Lan Niang was startled and hurriedly shook the scholar away, hugging Chen Hou's arm in fear.
"Husband, let's go home, something is wrong with this place."
"No, I have to smoke a 1st prize incense today!"
"What is the 1st Suan Xiang?"
"Stop asking, just follow me!"
Chen Hou pulled Lan Niang and came to a room. He was about to knock on the door when the room opened first. A man in disheveled clothes rushed out. His eyes were wide open, as if he was looking for prey.
At first glance, he rushed up quickly.
"Mr. Chen, I've brought you the person, as we agreed before..."
"Go away!"
The man stared at Lan Niang and waved to Chen Hou beside him.
Chen Hou smelled the scent of vines in the room and was already drifting in his mind. The man agreed and his eyes lit up. He quickly let go of Lan Niang and was about to run into the room.
"Husband! Don't leave me behind!"
Lan Niang was so scared that her face turned pale and she grabbed Chen Hou's hand desperately.
"Let's go home, please, husband."
Chen Hou could smell the scent of vines floating out, and his heart seemed to be tickled, and he was so anxious that he couldn't do it. At this time, he didn't care about Lan Niang and pushed her away.
"You serve Mr. Chen well, and we will go home later!"
Lan Niang didn't understand for a moment. "Husband, you..."
"Don't worry, I don't dislike you." As he said that, Chen Hou hurried in.
Lan Niang was there stupidly. It was not until the man hugged her that she came to her senses and struggled desperately.
"Let me go!"
"Husband!"
"Chen Hou!"
Lan Niang was weak, and she could not match the man in front of her. Her clothes were quickly torn. The movement also caused others to surround her, and her expression was confused.
Lan Niang can’t understand at this moment, Chen Hou sold her!
Liu Yunxiang was naturally anxious, but if she rushed up like this, she would not only not be able to save Lan Niang, but also take care of herself. Before Zijin and Jiang Yuan came back, Liu Yunxiang looked around and gritted her teeth, secretly picked up the lantern a few steps away, and then threw it into a room with the door open.
The fire started burning soon.
