"Young master, you risked your reputation and ruined your reputation by coming here just to redeem Annan?" Hua Niang suddenly turned around and looked at Xu Qingmo.
Xu Qingmo sat down on a chair beside him: "Please make a price!"
Seeing Xu Qingmo's cheerfulness, Hua Niang smiled and said: "Although this girl is very stubborn, she has a good skin. She is very good. If she dresses up and picks up customers, she should be able to make a lot of money... However, Since the young master wants it so much, then let’s consider it as three thousand taels of silver, what do you think?”
Three thousand taels of silver, you know, twenty taels of silver is already a year's expenses for an ordinary family, and the price Ren Yazi sold Annan for was only one hundred taels of silver.
Xu Qingmo knew very well that Hua Niang was raising the price, but now that people had arrived at Ruyun Pavilion, they would definitely not be able to get out without peeling off their skin. She thought for a while, and then said: "Three thousand taels, I'm not taking it." Not coming out, but I want to talk to her alone!"
Hua Niang paused for a moment, then smiled: "Of course it's good!"
Hua Niang stood up and walked out. When she walked to Xu Qingmo, she took a careful look: "Young Master has really good skin and very clear eyes. We are most afraid that the beautiful girls here are not as good as the Young Master! "
Xu Qingmo didn't say anything, and waited until Hua Niang went out before walking to Annan. She frowned slightly and was a little unhappy: "I asked you to come with me early, but you refused. Now it's better. Three thousand taels of silver for no reason." The flowers are out!”
After hearing these words, Annan lowered his head in embarrassment: "Girl..."
Annan refused to leave with Xu Qingmo at first, firstly because of her grandfather and mother, and secondly, because she didn't believe that her father would be so inhumane and actually sell her.
So when Ren Yazi walked into her house, Annan was frightened and cried. She struggled desperately and cried bitterly. Moreover, she heard her beast father say with her own ears: "Sell her to a brothel, then Is the price higher? She is still a young girl, please give me more money..."
"I will take you away, but I want you to do me a favor!" Xu Qingmo knelt down, looked at Annan, and said softly.
Annan was stunned, and after a long while he said: "As long as I can leave this place, go up the mountain of swords, and go down to the sea of fire, Annan will do whatever I can!"
"You are so weak, how can you go up the mountain of knives and into the sea of fire?" Xu Qingmo smiled, "I just need you to help me act in a play, that's all!"
Annan looked at Xu Qingmo for a long time before slowly nodding: "Okay!"
Xu Qingmo now is the last life-saving straw for Annan. All she can do is to grasp this life-saving straw tightly.
It happened that Hua Niang came in again, Xu Qingmo stood up slowly and looked back at Annan: "Three thousand taels of silver, Annan's body contract and slave contract, we will pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other!"
Hua Niang paused for a moment. She looked at Xu Qingmo in front of her, and suddenly she felt a little more interesting: "For a man of your age, even among the nobles, there are few who know that there is a slave contract. It seems that at such a young age, the young master , have you already started taking care of the house?"
Xu Qingmo knew that Hua Niang was testing her identity, and she didn't care about other things. She was from the Hou Mansion. Even if Hua Niang knew her identity, she didn't dare to talk nonsense outside: "Who am I? Am I?" There is no need for you to worry about taking care of the house at home, all you have to do is collect these three thousand taels of silver and then give the person to me, do you understand?"
Hua Niang paused, then smiled: "That's natural!"
Before coming here, Xu Qingmo would probably be a lion, so she brought a lot of banknotes. Her mother died young, and although her grandmother was responsible for taking care of the dowry, her grandmother would ask her uncle and aunt to give away the annual income. Come here, so in the capital, she can be regarded as the richest lady with the most money!
Pay the money in one hand and the deed in the other.
When he got the deed, Xu Qingmo handed the two thin slips to Annan: "This is your deed, take it carefully!"
Annan looked at the body deed in front of him, was silent for a long time, and then said softly: "Girl, please leave this body deed with you! I am a daughter of a lonely and helpless family. Even if I hold it, I may not be able to bear it. , if my father finds out, he might sell me again!"
"That's fine, but I only have your body deed here. As for the slave deed, I will burn it!" After Xu Qingmo finished speaking, he handed the body deed to Hua Ying, "Next, what you have to do is help me Okay, let’s put on a show!”
Annan looked into Xu Qingmo's eyes and nodded solemnly.
Hua Ying handed Annan over to an accompanying boy. When she walked back to the wing, Xu Qingmo and Hua Niang were sitting and drinking tea. Hua Ying lowered her head and walked quickly to Xu Qingmo's side, standing in a polite manner.
Hua Niang glanced at Hua Ying, then smiled and said: "These girls around the girl are very protective of the master!"
Xu Qingmo did not answer, but continued: "I know some of the noble people behind Ruyun Pavilion. Annan is just a little girl. Her mother just died and was framed by her father. Her mother's body was probably a roll of straw mat thrown away. At the mass grave, I would like to ask Hua Niang to help me collect the body of that poor man!"
"Is the girl afraid that her scoundrel father will get involved with you?" Hua Niang raised her eyebrows slightly, "So, you want to borrow our help from Ruyun Pavilion?"
"The girls here in Ruyun Pavilion are all pitiful people!" Xu Qingmo looked at Hua Niang and said lightly.
Hua Niang nodded: "That's fine, it's just a matter of asking a few people to go out and collect a body. It's just that the coffin has to be paid for by the girl!"
Xu Qingmo smiled: "That's natural!"
"The girl is kind-hearted!" Hua Niang sighed deeply, and then smiled, "If every poor person could meet a girl, the world would be peaceful long ago!"
"I'm not kind-hearted, but she was kind to me!" Xu Qingmo stood up slowly, "But when you do good deeds, don't worry about the future, blessings will always come later!"
Hua Niang didn't say anything, but when Xu Qingmo went out, she got up and said goodbye: "Girl, go slowly!"
After Xu Qingmo left Ruyun Pavilion and rode back, Hua Ying finally couldn't help but ask, "Why do you want to talk so much to that flower girl?"
"I have something I need Annan to help me with. The flower lady's mouth must be sealed. She has been wandering around for many years and has suffered more than others. I have said so much to her, but I just want her to tell Annan, How pitiful!" Xu Qingmo said lightly.
Although Hua Niang is the subordinate of the prince, Xu Qingmo knows very well that Hua Niang is just a woman who guards Ruyun Pavilion and does not care about the disputes in the court. Moreover, she rarely sees the prince. She talks more about that. Her words were just a hope that she could explain the three thousand taels of silver properly when the prince was doing his accounting.
