Saku and said: "Mr., there is one in Fangshi ahead, I will accompany you there."
Xiao Chuan said: "Okay, help me choose some good ones."
Crossing two streets, there are more than a dozen big markets in front, some selling livestock and some servants.
Saku said softly, "Mr. Lord, some of the servants here are those who made mistakes in the master's house and were sold off, and there are also some family members of criminal officials."
Xiao Chuan said: "Aren't the family members of criminal officials sent to Jiaofang Division?"
Saku said: "These were secretly transported and sold by the Secretary of Jiaofang. They are disobedient and looking for death and life. They are afraid of dying inside, so it is better to sell some money."
Xiao Chuan said: "Doesn't the Jiaofang Division have any records?"
Sakuhe said with a smile: "Mr. Lang, you should know more about this than us. As long as there is no special inquiry from above, who knows."
Xiao Chuan said: "Sakuhe, it seems that you, a foreigner, know better than someone."
Sakuhe said with a smile, "I'm going to do as the Romans do."
The servant market is next to the livestock market, and there is a stench. Most of the servants have dull eyes and numb expressions, not knowing what their future destiny is.
There were also some smarter young people who, seeing Xiao Chuan and Sakuhe dressed in bright clothes, shouted from a distance: "Mr., buy XX, XX can do anything, just give him enough food."
Xiao Chuan looked at a few maids, but they were not very satisfied, and said, "Sakuhe, which ones are sold by Jiaofang?"
Sakuhe observed for a while, stretched out his hand and pointed: "Over there."
The two came to a slightly cleaner place. Sakuhe stepped forward, greeted a man in his 40s, and said, "Oh, Guanshi Liu, are you on duty today?"
Liu Guanshi said: "So it's Lao Sa, why do you have time to go shopping in the market today?"
Sakuhe stuffed a purse secretly, and said: "A certain owner wants to buy a few servant girls. I wonder if you have any good ones? Help me introduce them."
Guanshi Liu smiled immediately, and said, "Old Sa, you are being polite. A few days ago, the Supreme Emperor just copied an official. His two children are quite beautiful."
Saku said condescendingly, "Okay, I'll let my boss take a look."
Behind Guanshi Liu was a row of shabby rooms. When he opened a small dark room behind him, Xiao Chuan took advantage of the sunlight and saw that the room was empty and unfurnished, and a few people were sitting everywhere. Seeing the door open, they all blocked their eyes with their hands. look out.
There were two people sitting in a corner. A girl of sixteen or seventeen was holding an eight or nine-year-old boy tightly in her arms.
Manager Liu explained: "They are a brother and a sister. Originally, someone was interested in buying my sister, but the sister and brother insisted on being together again, so the sale failed. Lao Sa, you are not an outsider. Every time I go to your store to buy something, It's cheaper, so I'll tell you the truth. This girl has a bit of a fierce temper. She has been seeking death and survival in the Jiaofang Division several times, and her ribs were broken but she didn't educate her. That's why she sent her here for sale. Your boss should consider this carefully. No, I can’t change it.”
Xiao Chuan walked up to the siblings and leaned over to look. The girl was so frightened that she hugged her brother and shrank back, but there was nowhere to hide.
Xiao Chuan saw that the girl looked dignified and delicate, and her face looked somewhat similar to Yu Wenyan's, so he said, "Guan Liu, both siblings want it, how much?"
Liu Guanshi said: "They are all acquaintances, fifty pennies."
Xiao Chuan said: "Okay, Sakuhe, give me the money."
After paying the money and getting the contract of sale of the siblings, Xiao Chuan hired a carriage and took the siblings directly to his fief.
There are ready-made houses and servants in the fief, and Xiao Chuan asked two maids to wait for the siblings to take a bath, wash them clean, and change into new clothes, looking like a golden boy and a jade girl.
The servant brought up the food, the older sister was better, Wenwen ate quietly, and the younger brother started to devour it.
When both siblings had eaten and drank enough, Xiao Chuan said to the servant: "Take my younger brother out first, I have a few words to say to his sister."
Hearing this, the girl hurriedly hugged her younger brother and did not let go, and the younger brother did not show any weakness, blocking his sister with his thin body.
Xiao Chuan said with a smile: "I don't mean anything malicious, I just want to discuss something with you, and I can finish it in a few words."
The girl said: "If you force me, I will die in front of you."
Xiao Chuan said: "Okay, I promise you."
Only then did the girl let go of the boy's hand, and comforted her, "Huan'er, you go out first, sister is fine."
After the servant and the boy went out, Xiao Chuan said, "Girl, what's your name? Which official's family member are you? For what crime was your house ransacked?"
The girl said: "My name is Yu Wenxiu, and I, Aye, is the general manager of the army, Duke Qi Yuwen, and I am a cousin of Yu Wenyun. Because the fatuous emperor fell in love with my sister-in-law, Yuchi, and took her away, I, Aye, was afraid again. I was also angry, fearing that the Supreme Emperor would get angry and kill our whole family, so he rebelled, and after the defeat, my father and brother were all killed, and my family members were assigned to Jiaofang as slaves."
Xiao Chuan said: "So Empress Dowager Yuchi is your sister-in-law?"
Yu Wenxiu said angrily: "She is not my sister-in-law, she is my enemy now."
Xiao Chuan said: "Your words are outrageous, aren't you afraid that people will kill you if they hear it?"
Yu Wenxiu said: "I have put life and death aside a long time ago. If I hadn't been unable to let go of my young brother, I would have followed my father and brother a long time ago."
Xiao Chuan said: "Do you want revenge?"
When Yu Wenxiu heard the words, her eyes were confused, she was silent for a while, and said: "Of course I want to take revenge, but I am a weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken, how can I take revenge?"
Xiao Chuan said: "I'll give you a chance. Not only may it help your family to avenge their hatred, but it can also save the lives of you and your brother."
Yu Wenxiu asked suspiciously, "Why did you help me?"
Xiao Chuan said: "We are helping each other."
Yu Wenxiu said: "Okay, what opportunity do you want to see first?"
Xiao Chuan said: "Princess Qianjin, do you know her?"
Yu Wenxiu said: "Of course we know each other. King Zhao and I, Aye, are both from the royal family. Speaking of which, I should be called Princess Qianjin's cousin."
No wonder the two girls look alike, they are cousins.
Xiao Chuan said: "Someone wants you to replace Princess Qianjin and pro-Turk."
Yu Wenxiu said: "Make peace with the Turks?"
Xiao Chuan said: "After you marry the Turks, you can use the Turks to kill Yu Wenyun. Even if you fail, I can train your brother to become a talent."
Yu Wenxiu asked curiously, "Do you like Princess Qianjin?"
Xiao Chuan blushed, and said, "That's right."
Xiao Chuan didn't know whether it was because he liked Yu Wenyan, or because he didn't want to see Yu Wenyan suffer a miserable end in the future, maybe it was both.
Yu Wenxiu and Yang Jian did not have any revenge for killing their father. If Yu Wenyun dies in the future, she will not always think about overthrowing the Great Sui Dynasty, right?
Yu Wenxiu said: "Okay, as long as you treat my brother well, I promise you to replace Princess Qianjin and pro-Turk."
Xiao Chuan said: "You stay in Zhuangzi temporarily, practice court etiquette, singing and dancing, and imitate Princess Qianjin."
Yu Wenxiu said: "Alright, I hope you mean what you say and remember your promise."
Xiao Chuan said: "A gentleman is hard to chase after a word."
Xiao Chuan called Xiao Dayong and several parts, and asked them to guard the house closely to prevent outsiders from knowing.
