Yue Ji

Chapter 9

Lou Ju and the others saw Wei Luo's happy and relaxed expression in their eyes, so they no longer had any doubts about Wei Luo.Originally, people in this world were not suspicious. If Wei Luo's appearance was not at the wrong time and place, they would not have been suspicious at all.

The woman who spoke stuck out her head from the carriage, and said softly: "Son, come to me."

Wei Luo stood firm, and happily replied: "No." After answering, she looked at the woman with bright eyes again, and added gratefully, "Thank you, miss."

The woman smiled softly.

The convoy didn't stop all the time. During this moment of conversation, the team drove 50 meters in front of Wei Luo.

Wei Luo took a few steps, and came to the woman's carriage. A burning torch was stuck on the shaft of the red carriage. In the light of the torch, she had beautiful eyebrows and long eyes, a small cherry mouth, and a small dot on the left corner of her mouth. The beautiful woman with the mole clearly appeared in front of Wei Luo. Judging from her age, she was about eighteen or nineteen years old, and she had a strong femininity.

When Wei Luo was looking at her, the woman was also looking at Wei Luo, looking at her, a look of disappointment flashed in the woman's eyes.

Because of disappointment, her expression also turned a little cold.

In Wei Luo's puzzled eyes, she waved her hand and said lightly, "The Marquis is at the side, you can follow after the donkey cart passes."

After the woman finished speaking, she didn't even look at Wei Luo again, and retreated into the carriage.When she pulled down the car curtain, Wei Luo faintly heard a murmur, "The skin is thick and dark, and I don't like being able to read and write. It's a pity that I have good eyes."

It turned out that he thought he looked ordinary.

Wei Luo smiled, and thought puzzledly: The rules here are really strange, do you have to live well to be a servant?

She couldn't figure it out, so she shook her head and stepped back to the side of the official road, waiting patiently for the convoy to leave.

The red carriages followed one after the other, and after about [-] carriages passed by, an ox cart of one color appeared.These ox carts also stretched for half a mile.

Regardless of whether it is a group of carriages or a group of ox carts, there are corresponding swordsmen on horseback or oxen on both sides.Wei Luo watched curiously, and she found that all the swordsmen on horseback were arrogant, as if they were of high status.

After the half-mile-long oxen train passed, there was a donkey team and swordsmen riding donkeys.

The donkey cart was a bit like the carts Wei Luo had seen before. It had no roof, no walls, and only a bottom plate.A few wooden wheels under the bottom plate made the sound of "checking and checking" when they were pulled by two or three donkeys.In the donkey cart, sat a group of women who either wore sackcloth, ordinary-looking, or older.

Most of these women were young girls, they were laughing and playing with each other, when they saw Hou Wei Luo beside the road, they all looked at her curiously, and would throw her a few disdainful looks from time to time.

After these women passed by, the ones sitting in the donkey cart were all beautiful girls.These girls were all dressed in gorgeous silk clothes, some were expressionless, some were slightly sad, and even choked up from time to time.Each of these girls has its own beauty, and Wei Luo's eyes are straightened.She counted, and there were about fifty or sixty such girls.

After the girls, there are people who walk on two feet.These people were all dressed in tattered sackcloth, with sad faces and dull eyes, and some even wore chains on their bodies.

Could it be that these people were slaves?

Seeing that they were the last batch of the convoy, Wei Luo hurriedly followed.

Inserted in the middle of this group of people, Wei Luo's heart fluttered. She looked to the left and right, couldn't help but took a step forward, approached a young man with a white face and a listless face, and asked in a low voice: "Dare you ask brother?" , Why are those people wearing chains?"

The young man kept his head down, and followed the team forward step by step.After hearing Wei Luo's question, he raised his pale and upright face and said weakly, "Put on the chains, I'm afraid they will run away."

Wei Luo's heart beat faster.

She looked at the young man nervously, and said in a low voice: "My little brother is a lonely passer-by, and he invited himself to join because he envied the luxury of the motorcade. Brother, won't my little brother also become a slave?"

The young man glanced at her, and said slowly: "Master Mei is not a powerful person, how can he turn good people into slaves at will? Brother, you are walking with us, I am afraid it is because you are mediocre."

Wei Luo's violently beating heart finally calmed down, she breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to herself: Sure enough, it's best not to act rashly before you have a clear understanding of this world.I just didn't want to walk around at night. It would be too miserable if I bought myself for this small reason.

She was certain in her heart, so she asked the young man curiously: "Brother, what if the husband was born in the world, and his appearance is mediocre? Why do you all value it so much?"

As soon as Wei Luo said this, several men around her, including the young man, looked at her, everyone looked surprised and questioned.

The young man glanced at Wei Luo and saw that she was a little uncomfortable, so he said slowly: "The Kabuki team naturally puts looks first, followed by skills."

Kabuki team?

Wei Luo blinked and asked stammeringly, "Kabuki team?"

The young man glanced at her impatiently, "Of course, this is the team of the world-renowned eyebrow masters. Since you don't know, how can you join abruptly? Now that you have joined, you need to live in peace of mind. What's the use of asking?"

When he said this, he shook his head, as if he didn't want to talk to Wei Luoduo anymore, turned his head and continued to hang down, and didn't speak anymore.

Seeing his appearance, Wei Luo laughed dryly.

She looked around and found that there were several people around her looking at her, so she said with a dry smile: "It's really dark and the road is long, animals are easy to come out, and they are timid to ask for it." Her explanation was dry. , everyone was very tired, and they didn't have the energy to care whether her explanation made sense, they looked away one by one, and continued to walk forward with one foot high and one foot shallow.

After a pause, Wei Luo approached a young man of 24 or [-] years old, who was very thin and had a round face and looked easy to talk, and asked again: "Brother, don't blame me, if you are a good boy, can you sit in this team?" Donkey cart, eat rice?"

When she said the word 'rice', she couldn't help swallowing twice.

The round-faced young man was obviously more active than the one just now. He grinned friendlyly at Wei Luo, showed his yellow teeth and said with a grin: "Of course. No matter male or female, as long as they are born well, they can ride in a donkey cart. If they are virgins, You can also wear satin."

After hearing this, Wei Luo's heart skipped a beat, feeling a little stuffy in his chest.She forced out a smile, and asked dully, "Then what? Riding in a donkey cart, wearing silk and satin, what do you need to do?"

The round-faced young man shook his head and sighed: "My child is really ignorant." He said naturally, "Take a donkey cart and raise it with silk and satin. I will save it for the nobles in the future." After a pause, he added , "If you are very good-looking and don't want to specialize in a noble person, you can also become a kabuki."

The round-faced young man was obviously very talkative. Seeing that Wei Luo's eyes were straightened, he smiled and asked: "I heard that you are Yue people, both men and women are very beautiful, and you are most loved by the rich and powerful. Your son came from Yue country. Don't you know?"
