He said yes, but there was a sinister look in his eyes. He turned around and walked to Shi Sheng, looked him up and down and said, "How much money are two watermelons?"
When Shi Sheng heard this, he was very happy. He just said that Hou Mubai was willing to pay the money, and hurriedly said: "These two watermelons add up to weigh about sixteen kilograms. One kilogram is three cents. Mr. Hou can just give forty-eight cents."
"Forty-eight cents is not much, not much at all." Hou Mubai shook his head and said, but did not let his entourage take out the money. Instead, he picked up the folding fan and hit Shi Sheng on the head hard, and at the same time said harshly: "My lord,
There is plenty of money, but why do I want to give it to you? You idiots without any brains don't bother to ask me when I have ever given you money for food."
"That's right, if our young master eats your food, he is looking down on you and doesn't know what's good for you." The young man in Tsing Yi agreed from the side.
Although Xuan'er was angry with Shi Sheng, she couldn't bear it now when she saw him being beaten. She said angrily: "If you don't give it, I won't give it to you. What are you doing to beat someone!" Then she looked at Shi Sheng and asked with concern:
"Brother Shi Sheng, how are you? Is it okay?"
Shi Sheng was hit so suddenly that his head was dizzy. It took him a while to recover, and he covered his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
Hou Mubai sneered and said, "Hey, what's wrong with everyone today? They all come to fight against me, right?"
Du Datong, who was standing next to him, said flatteringly: "Master, don't talk nonsense to them. Just let the slaves teach them a lesson. Let's see if they dare to make Master unhappy in the future."
Hou Mubai was about to say something when he suddenly saw the profile of Xuan'er who was rubbing Shi Sheng's wound. This young girl had a beautiful face and a slender figure, and her whole body exuded a youthful atmosphere unique to girls.
Hou Mubai was a domineering and shameless playboy. He was also a lustful person. He rolled his eyes, held up Xuan'er's chin with a folding fan, looked around with a leering look, and nodded: "She looks good.
, somewhat pretty.”
"Take your stinky fan away and don't touch me!" As he was speaking, Xuan'er had already slapped his folding fan away with a look of disgust.
"Broken fan?" Hou Mubai glanced at the fan in his hand in shock. Before he could speak, the boy shouted: "Open your eyes and take a good look. Our young master's fan was made by a famous artist in Wuzhong.
If you take it out casually, it will cost more than ten taels of silver, which is more than enough to buy you."
In this era, there were frequent famines. Once that happened, there were a lot of people selling their children. The price was very cheap. You could buy them for only three to five taels of silver. Some even sold their bodies to bury their parents, just for a thin coffin.
Can.
Hou Mubai pretended to persuade: "Hey, be polite, it's common for girls not to know." Then he said to Xuan'er, "If the girl likes it, you can give this fan to her. Also,
There are many rare and rare treasures in my residence. You can choose from them. How about you go back with me, girl?" He had fallen in love with Xuan'er and wanted to take him back to his residence.
"I don't dare or have no interest in asking for things from the Marquis." Xuan'er said with disgust.
Hou Mubai didn't expect Xuan'er to reject him without thinking. With so many people watching, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. His expression darkened and he asked: "Where are you from?"
Shi Sheng and Xuan'er didn't say anything, but a follower following him said: "Sir, I know them. They are farmers who live in the long alley. The man is Lehu and the woman is the daughter of another Lehu.
.”
Hearing the word "jianmin", Hou Mubai's expression suddenly relaxed a lot. He fell in love with Xuan'er and wanted to take her back to his home. However, if Xuan'er was an innocent woman from a rich family, even a poor tenant would have some troubles.
Yes, but it's completely different if they are Jian people. These people who are Jian citizens are the lowest class. They are usually weak in rationality, so why should they care?
Thinking of this, he chuckled and said with an evil look on his face: "To tell you the truth, I have fallen in love with you. No matter how many people want to ask for this blessing, you might as well leave with me."
"Don't even think about it!"
He had an unknown number of women in his hands. When he got tired of playing with them, he would discard them like nothing. Beatings and scoldings were common, and I heard that some of them were sold to jails.
"Just leave when I tell you. Why are you talking so much?" Hou Mubai stretched out his hand to grab Xuan'er, but someone blocked him, but it was Shi Sheng. He protected Xuan'er firmly behind him, preventing Hou Mubai from taking him.
Walk.
Hou Mubai had always disliked Shi Sheng, but now that he saw him showing up, he sneered, took back his hand and said in a dark voice to the followers: "Teach this gentleman a lesson, even if you beat him to death."
Shi Sheng stared nervously at the people who were charging at him with ferocious smiles on their faces. Although he had some strength, his two fists were no match for four hands. If a few people gathered around him, he would definitely suffer. He would just take a beating, but
If Xuan'er was taken away by them, her innocence would not be guaranteed. Thinking of this, he hurriedly went back and said to Xuan'er: "Hurry up and leave."
Xuan'er shook her head vigorously, and it could be seen that she was worried about Shi Sheng, but she forgot that her stay here would not be of any help except to distract Shi Sheng.
"Young Master Hou robbed women and beat good people in the street. He is so majestic!" At this moment, a cold voice appeared in everyone's ears.
"Who is it?" Hou Mubai shouted softly and looked in the direction of the sound. Behind Shi Sheng, he saw a beautiful woman walking slowly. In the mist of early summer, she seemed to have come from nowhere.
The fairy-like figure walking in the painting is eye-catching.
Hou Mubai suddenly felt that his throat was a little dry, and his mind went blank. He just stared at the woman blankly. He swore that he had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life, and her every move and gesture had a kind of
The indescribable charm makes people unable to take their eyes away.
Compared with her, the beautiful concubines he kept in his house were nothing more than useless flowers.
Her beauty is so beautiful that one can't fault it. If I have to say something, it would be that she seems a little older and lacks that youthful aura. Although she can't tell specifically, she must be more than seventeen years old.
Eight years old.
However, all this is nothing compared to her beauty, not to mention her charm, which a young woman cannot show at all.
If he wants to get her, he must get her!
This strong desire emerged in Hou Mubai's heart. It was different from before. To Xuan'er, he was just seeking a temporary novelty. It didn't matter whether he got it or not. After all, there were women around him who were more beautiful and charming than Xuan'er.
But this one is different.
The impact that the beauty of that figure brought to people's eyes was thrilling, and he couldn't bear to give up at all.
