Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 690
A group of people dressed up and walked on the streets by the lake, talking and laughing happily, not only talking about ghosts and ghosts, but also commenting on historical and national events.

Arguing with each other, spit out witty words from time to time, which attracted the frequent glances of the scholars passing by nearby. After hearing some great truths, some scholars even thanked them in public, expressing that they had benefited a lot.

There is a special charm when real scholars gather together.

That kind of charm is not comparable to that of romance, cockfighting and dog walking, but the kind of lofty ambition that guides the country and is high-spirited.

Li Xiuyuan didn't really argue about some opinions, but only expressed some of his own opinions occasionally. After all, his thinking was somewhat different from the scholars of this era. In this capital, it is better to say less shocking things.

Although I am not afraid of the court's questioning of crimes and the like, there are always some scholars who cannot accept their own views and jump out to argue.

How could he have the mood to argue with them.

He was also thinking about what would happen in the capital after dark.

While walking and talking for a few days, I suddenly saw a lot of people watching the street in front of me, all of them seemed to be arguing about something.

A few people passed by and took a curious look.

Instead, he saw a woman kneeling on the ground with a straw stuck in her head.

"Someone is selling himself." Zhu Yu said in surprise, "What happened? A daughter's family was forced to sell herself."

"Ten taels, ten taels of silver? Miss, come with me, and I promise I won't treat you badly." A merchant said excitedly. With ten taels of silver in his hand, he seemed impatient to buy this girl.

"I just want to buy such a woman with such a logo. I will offer 20 taels. Miss, you are selling it to that house. Why not sell it to my family? I can hide the money from him." Another shopkeeper also argued. Woke up, wishing to pay for this woman immediately.

"Go away, you are bullying this girl. I don't understand the market. With the girl's beauty, she can sell at least 50 taels. I will pay 50 taels. How about you go home with me, girl? I still lack a maid in my house."

There was another competition.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at it, then lost interest and said, "Let's go, it's better not to get involved in such things."

Qian Jun on the side said: "Brother Li, let's go slowly, this girl is so pitiful, why don't we help her? Save her from the sea of ​​suffering, if she sells herself to those merchants' families, wouldn't she waste her life in vain? In my opinion, it is better to buy it with capital, so that you can have a red sleeve when you go back.

"

"So it was your idea to hit another girl's house." Zhang Bangchang shook his head.

Qian Jun blushed and said: "What's the matter, I can't compare to having beautiful wives and concubines by your side. If I don't do something today, I'm afraid I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"." Everyone looked strange.

But when he saw the beauty of that girl, he immediately understood why Qian Jun was so excited.

But he saw that the woman was petite, fair-skinned, with a marked face, and she had an indescribable beauty.

No wonder those merchants and shopkeepers kept bidding as if they had found a bargain.

Isn't that right, if such a woman is placed in a brothel, she will not be able to redeem her for hundreds of li of silver.

And there is no shortage of wealthy people in the capital, so why wouldn't it be worthwhile to spend a few dozen taels of silver to buy such a beauty?
"Brother Qian, have you brought any money?" Zhu Yu asked.

Qian Jun smiled: "It seems that the heavens have favored me, and the salary was paid yesterday, which is barely enough."

After finishing speaking, he squeezed into the crowd, and said: "Can't you all be quiet, this girl can't help herself by planting weeds to sell herself, and her life experience is miserable. How can you sell other girls like goods?"

Everyone wanted to scold back, but they held back when they saw that Qian Jun was a scholar.

The two merchants smiled awkwardly, cupped their hands and left quickly without asking for a price.

Since ancient times, it has been an iron rule that people do not fight with officials.

How dare their merchants rob people with scholars, who knows that they will offend that court official.

"Girl, what happened to your family, why did you sell yourself in the street? If there is any grievance, maybe I can help." Qian Jun said.

"The little girl's name is Xi'er. Because her family was in trouble, she had no relatives to rely on, so she had to sell herself and find someone to rely on." The woman lowered her head and said in a sad voice.

"So that's how it is." After listening to Qian Jun, he felt even more necessary to be a hero to save the beauty.

But just when he was about to speak, a man beside him said: "Girl, there is still one person missing in the official's house. Today, the official has kind thoughts and is willing to take you in. How about you leave with the official?"

"Master Zhifu?" Of course, Qian Jun was taken aback when he saw clearly who was coming.

This person is actually the magistrate I met in Xiangguo Temple last time, Fang Shengyu, Mr. Fang.

Fang Shengyu stroked his short beard and said, "Is it Qian Jun? I didn't expect today to be a coincidence. You also went out to play."

Qian Jun smiled, and replied politely, but he felt a little troubled in his heart. He didn't expect that Fang Shengyu also took a fancy to this girl.

Li Xiuyuan at the side said in a low voice: "Brother Zhang, go and call Brother Qian back. This person is not as simple as selling one's body. There is fraud in it. Whoever buys it will be unlucky. You can't take advantage of it."

"There is such a thing."

Zhang Bangchang was startled, but he didn't doubt what Li Xiuyuan said. He immediately walked over and took Qian Jun away, and then apologized: "Master Fang, please be polite, we have to go to other places to play, so don't disturb Master Fang." , let's go, brother Qian."

Qian Jun is also ready to fight this Fang Shengyu with wits and courage to win back this Xi'er.

As a result, Zhang Bangchang pulled him away, but he was pulled away before he could react.

"Brother Zhang, you are too afraid of that Fang Shengyu. He is only a magistrate, and he is not a big official. Brother Li is still the governor. In terms of rank, he has to respectfully salute Brother Li. Besides, , that girl Xi'er is so pitiful, I'm going to buy it back to be my concubine, I'm a piece of cake

Sincerely, it would be pitiful if this girl followed that Fang Shengyu. I heard that Fang is a jealous husband, and the magistrate has never dared to take a concubine. "Qian Jun said.

"You really fell in love with others at first sight, but let Brother Li explain this to you." Zhang Bangchang laughed.

Li Xiuyuan asked: "Brother Qian, are you sure that the person named Xi'er is a woman?"

"What is it if it's not a woman? It's impossible to change from a goblin." Qian Jun said,

But as soon as he finished speaking, he woke up suddenly again, and then asked cautiously: "Could it really be that the goblin has changed?"

"It's not a goblin, you can rest assured about that, but it's not a woman, but a man." Li Xiuyuan said.

What?male?

Qian Jun was so startled that he almost bit his tongue.

"This, how is this possible, how can such a beautiful girl be a man."

Li Xiuyuan said: "I don't judge people by their appearance, but by their breath. Appearance can deceive a person's eyes, but his breath can't. A person's breath can tell a person's real appearance, but his appearance But can't, he is definitely a man, although he looks very feminine,

She is even more beautiful than ordinary women with makeup, but a man is a man, if you don't believe me, you can touch it, maybe his thing is bigger than you when you take it out. "
