Chapter 373
The Royal Street in the afternoon was very lively. Zhao Huiwei didn’t take Yingluo Chuwei with her when she came out this time. She thought about going straight to Zhao’s house and playing for a while and then Zhao Borui would send her directly to the palace. For the matter of the embroidery shop, Zhao Borui was arranged by her to go back, and now she is the only one left.

Only then did Zhao Huiwei feel apprehensive. Every time she was alone, something bad would happen. She looked around and saw that the people coming and going were no different, so she quickly went to the poinsettia shop, bought chestnut cakes and left.

But when she passed by an alley, her sleeve was pulled, and she went in. When she regained her senses, she found a woman in plain clothes standing in front of her, and she was an acquaintance!

The woman was the sleeve incense who served her during the few days when she was bound to the ghost sect.

Zhao Huiwei looked at her with vigilance: "What's the matter?"

Xiuxiang's complexion is not very good. She thought that she would have no contact with each other after she left, but she was still brought here by their suzerain.

She clasped her fists and said, "By the order of the suzerain, I want the goddess to take me into the Huainan palace. If you walk about twenty steps ahead, someone will sell their body to bury their father there. The goddess only needs to buy us."

Zhao Huiwei: "..."

After Xiuxiang finished speaking, she left, leaving Zhao Huiwei in a mess in the wind.

Buy them into the house?The group of ghost sects are really poisonous, how can she keep this group of dangerous people by her side?

Thinking that there must be people from the ghost sect watching around, Zhao Huiwei reluctantly walked forward after leaving the alley, she went to see what was going on.

Sure enough, people were surrounded not far ahead. When Zhao Huiwei approached, he heard someone say:
"These two girls are pitiful, father died so early."

"That's right... I don't know what fate it is to sell my body to bury my father."

"Don't worry about it, we can't protect ourselves. I heard that there are refugees coming to the capital. Who can buy these two girls to go back and have two more mouths to eat, so just take a look..."

Taking advantage of her petite body, she got to the front through the gap, and there was a corpse covered with a white cloth lying on the ground. There was a wooden sign in front of the corpse that read "Sell yourself to bury your father." Behind the corpse were two people wearing plain clothes and white flowers woman.

In addition to Xiuxiang, there is Tong Le who is full of hostility towards Zhao Huiwei.

She couldn't help but the corners of her mouth twitched. With this lineup, she was still expected to bring her back to the palace?Unless she's out of her mind.

Seeing that the important person was in place, Xiuxiang pinched herself hard and cried until she burst into tears: "My little girl, Xiang'er, came to the capital to look for relatives because of her poor family. Unexpectedly, my father died of an emergency just after he arrived in the capital. My younger sister, Leer, and I were left alone in the world, lonely and helpless, and our money had already been used up on the way here. My sister and I went to find our relatives, but we were told that our relatives had left the capital long ago, and now we can’t even bury them properly. Father's money is gone, so he can only sell himself to bury his father, gentlemen and officials, as long as you help us and my sisters to bury my father and let him go to Huangquan Road safely, we can do whatever you want us to do."

After finishing speaking, she wiped her tears with her sleeve. The scent of sleeves was not bad at all, but the appearance of pear blossoms with rain is even more pitiful. If it weren't for the disasters that are raging and they are too busy to take care of themselves, these two beauties really have to buy it back The home is settled properly.

Xiuxiang glanced at Zhao Huiwei, and said softly again: "I beg all the gentlemen and officials to have mercy."

Zhao Huiwei looked away, turning a blind eye, as if she was just watching the show, and Tong Le saw her enemy, her beautiful eyes looked at Zhao Huiwei, wishing to spit out poisonous juice, she still can't forget the whipping .

She suppressed the hatred in her eyes, and knelt beside Xiuxiang with her eyebrows lowered.

The scene was lively, but no one asked for the price. Xiuxiang glanced at Zhao Huiwei suspiciously, and saw that she was holding chestnut cakes in her hand, and she had already taken apart a piece and ate them together. She had no intention of buying them back at all. It's all dark.

Zhao Huiwei was eating happily, when she suddenly felt someone poking her with something, she turned her eyes to see a strange man, she looked down at the handle of the knife on her waist.

The man narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes signaled, bright and threatening.

Zhao Huiwei choked on eating, Nima and her helpers were hidden in the crowd, she swallowed the chestnut cake in her mouth, and there were no acquaintances around, she asked the price with a bad face: "One tael, if you want, come with me."

Xiu Xiang, Tong Le: "..."

Surrounding audience: "..."

Are they hallucinating?A tael of silver?It is estimated that it is difficult to buy even better straw mats.

This girl with an extraordinary appearance actually thought of buying two girls for one tael of silver. How could there be such a good thing in the world?

In the next moment, a young man who was fighting for justice stood up and said, "Girl, this tael of silver is a bit deceitful. The two of them are pitiful. If you don't want to buy it, you don't have to ask for the price. You just humiliate them by asking for a tael of silver!"

The young son was filled with righteous indignation: "I will pay you ten taels of silver, and the two girls are willing to come with me."

Xiuxiang: "..."

Oh, that's not how the script works!

She looked at the young man, and before she had time to speak, a rough voice came from a big man: "I'm only 15 taels, the two girls have buried their father and come with me in peace."

The young man was an examinee at first glance, it was not easy to shout out ten taels, his face turned pale and blue, and finally he could only give Xiuxiang an apologetic look, he couldn't afford to shout, so he had to let it go.

With Zhao Huiwei starting, the shouts here also rose.

"I gave 20 taels."

After the big man, another voice came, and a path spread out from the crowd, and a noble young man waving a folding fan walked in, his footsteps were flimsy, his face was painted with powder, he looked pale, and his eyes were very hot .

He boasted that he walked in suavely, followed by two attendants. He looked at Xiuxiang Tongle: "I pay 20 taels, are the two girls willing to go with Peng? Don't worry, Peng will never I'm sorry for you."

Xiuxiang's face was ashen, she looked at Zhao Huiwei vaguely, seeing that she had nothing to do with her, she was very anxious.

The strong man saw that he was being cut off, he looked over, he really knew this young man, he was from the Peng family in the capital, his name was Peng Chang.

Although the Peng family's official position is not big, but his family has some relationship with Duan Wang, and after careful calculation, it can be regarded as distant cousins ​​of Duan Wangmu and concubine's house.

Several generations have passed, but they are complacent and proud, and they often talk about Duan Wang, which is hard for people not to know.

But even if it is a member of the Peng family, the strong man does not intend to give in: "I will pay 25 taels."

Peng Chang narrowed his eyes slightly, and he snorted coldly: "30 taels."

"35 taels!"

"40 taels!"

This kind of scene is not so much a price call as a tit-for-tat confrontation between two people.

When Peng Chang called out to 40 taels, the strong man hesitated. He glanced at Xiuxiang and the two, thinking in his mind, and found that the two girls were not worth so much if he kept shouting, so he backed down and stopped shouting.
