I was a gentleman in ancient times
Chapter 23
The tooth shop in Yingyang city is in the north of the city. Although Yingyang is a big city, there are still distinctions between rich and low.
The south of the city is a gathering place of famous noble families, and the mansions of the four major families are all in the south of the city, so the streets in the south of the city are clean and tidy, and there are many cars, almost all the nobles and young ladies drive around by car.
And the north of the city is mostly a place where small merchants and hawkers, craftsmen and artisans make a living. There are mixed fish and dragons here, and there are all kinds of people. Of course, the environment is not much better.
It was only when Wei Su came here that he noticed the bustling atmosphere of fireworks, yelling and bargaining.
An aunt selling sesame seed cakes waved a rolling pin, as if she wanted to clean up her naughty little boy, but the kid took a sesame seed cake and ran away in a hurry while no one was paying attention, leaving the old lady yelling and cursing helplessly.
A half-drunk alcoholic grasped an ancestral jade pendant that he didn't know which generation passed down, and wanted to use it as a pot of wine.The boss took it over, glanced at it casually, then picked up the bamboo tube, shook it in the wine jar, it was about [-]% full, then shook his hand, and shook some wine out, which made the drunkard feel distressed and yelled carefully Said: "Mo Huang, Mo Huang!" The boss snorted, and then handed it over, the drunkard took it with joy, and left unsteadily.
There was a man who gambled all night and even lost his clothes, his mother-in-law grabbed his ears and howled repeatedly begging for mercy.The onlookers didn't think it was a big deal, they kept booing, but the mother-in-law picked up a stick on the street and waved it hard, and everyone dispersed like birds and beasts laughing and laughing.
Wei Su smiled slightly, seeing that the market is so interesting.
Wei Zhen frowned. She had just passed through the orderly Nancheng, and came here suddenly. The painting style changed suddenly, which inevitably made people feel a little uncomfortable.
Sensing Wei Zhen's discomfort, Wei Su patted her shoulder lightly, "Don't be afraid, brother is here!"
Wei Zhen raised her eyes to look at him, and unconsciously leaned closer to her brother, she was not afraid of him.
"Old man, how can I get to the dental clinic?" Wei Su stopped an old man and asked.
He looked Wei Su up and down for a few times, and pointed his hand behind him, "Go straight to a place with a big banyan tree, take a turn to the right and you will be there a few hundred steps."
Wei Su thanked him, pulled Wei Zhen and walked towards the old man.
But they didn't see the old man shaking his head and sighing, "I didn't expect that she looks well-dressed, but she has to sell people, alas! It's a pity, such a beautiful girl really knows people, knows her face, but doesn't know her heart!"
It turns out that the dental office is not only a housing intermediary agency, but also an agent of population trading and so on.Seeing that Wei Su was leading a little girl to inquire about the tooth shop, the old man thought he was going to sell the girl into a slave, so he sighed.
Wei Su walked around a few times and questioned several passers-by before he realized that the old man had lied to him.But when he got to the dental shop, he realized why the old man was like this.
After dismissing several prostitutes who tried to get Wei Zhen, Wei Su secretly regretted that he really shouldn't have brought Wei Zhen out today, and let Wei Zhen see these messy things.
To put it bluntly, this tooth shop is a place where slaves are traded. Seeing men, women and children in ragged clothes huddled together like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, they are at the mercy of others.
He had already retreated, and planned to turn around and go back, but after thinking about it, it's all here, so it's better to do it all at once, so as not to step into this place again.
Originally, he could have entrusted someone to do it, but after all, he still didn't want to bother others, and besides, he would only be satisfied if he implemented it himself.
Wei Su took Wei Zhen and walked a few steps quickly, and finally reached a quieter place inside.
"Young master, what do you need us to do here today?" A young man walked over with a smile and led Wei Su into a room.
"The young one is Ah San. If you need anything, please tell me. Whether it is a house, a shop for rent or sale, or buying a servant, the villain will definitely help you find what you are most satisfied with." Ah San brought a pot of water and poured a glass for Wei Su. warm water.
Wei Su didn't touch it, "Well, I want to buy a small courtyard. It doesn't need to be too big, just enough to accommodate a few people. I wonder if you can do it?" Wei Su cut to the chase and stated his purpose.
Ah San nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, you can inquire about it. I, San, are not unreliable in the dental practice. What are the requirements for the house you want to choose, my lord?"
Wei Su thought for a while and said, "It's better to be closer to Yingyang Academy, and it's better to be in a quiet place. It doesn't need to be too big, and the environment should be more elegant."
He thought that when he entered the Yingyang Academy in the future, his younger sister would have to settle down first. It would be better to be closer to the academy, so it would not take time to go home from work.
Ah San nodded after hearing this, turned around and took out a roll of bamboo slips from the wooden frame beside him, compared them carefully, and finally shook his head and said: "At this time, almost no one near Yingyang Academy is willing to sell the house. If you don't If you are interested, you can look at the lease or wait a while to see if there is an owner who is willing to sell."
As long as you think about it for a while, you will know that a house in the school district in a prime location must be hard to find.Coupled with the fact that it happens to be held every five years, the supply is even more in short supply.
Ah San explained and said truthfully: "There are quite a few people from all over the world who come to Yingyang Academy to participate in the academic discussion ceremony. Now maybe there will be renters. If you wait a few days, it may be difficult to find renters."
Wei Su frowned slightly, it seems that it is indeed not a good time to buy a property, and he can only wait for a while.
"In this case, please help me to pay attention. You can take a look whether it is rented or sold. When it is available, you can go to Tao's house and let me know." Wei Su said his thoughts, and left a contact address.He doesn't want to come here again, it's best to let him help the agency.
Ah San's heart shuddered when she heard about Tao's family, and her face became more respectful, and she agreed again and again.Since he is a member of the Tao family, no matter what, he must try his best to do things.
There is nothing else to do, Wei Su simply said goodbye, this matter is not urgent anyway, take your time, you can always find a house that suits you.
Ah San respectfully sent Wei Su brothers and sisters out, Wei Su waved his hand, he is not a person who likes to put on airs, the two of them said a few words of courtesy, and planned to say goodbye.
There was a commotion coming from the slave trade place in front, Wei Su didn't pay attention, but Wei Zhen beside him carefully tugged at his sleeve.
Wei Su looked over suspiciously, and it turned out to be an acquaintance, Tie Sanniang whom the siblings met on the first day they entered Yingyang City.
Because he offended the Cui family, didn't Tao Fu tell them that the couple had better leave Yingyang City?They all nodded in agreement, but they didn't know why they appeared here.It seems that the Cui family has encountered trouble again.
Wei Su couldn't figure out the reason for this anyway.At that time, Tie Sanniang also planned to leave just like that, but it's just that people are not as good as God.Not long after they left Yingyang City, the old man Zhou Cheng was frightened and traveled around for days. He caught wind and cold and fell ill.
Tie Sanniang had no choice, and there was nowhere else to seek medical advice.She gritted her teeth and decided to return to Yingyang City. Now that the rumors have passed, as long as they are more careful, they should not be discovered if they are only active in the places where the poor live.
Sure enough, they went around and returned to Yingyang City, but no one noticed that Tie Sanniang almost came out at night to see a doctor and get medicine for Zhou Cheng.However, Zhou Cheng's illness came and went like a mountain, and he didn't get better all the time. He spent a lot of money on medicine.The two of them have no family foundation, and they will soon be unable to make ends meet.
Tie Sanniang had no choice but to have the idea of selling herself as a slave, so she came here directly and planted a straw mark on her head to show that she was selling herself as a slave.However, for several days in a row, no one cared about it at all.
She has a lot of strength, but she is an old woman over fifty years old.Everyone would rather spend more money to buy strong young men and women, how could it be possible to buy an old thing back?Besides, he was dragging a sick and consumptive ghost.
Therefore, for several days, she was ignored at all in the corner.On the contrary, some people would point and point, and talk about it, why would such an old woman sell herself as a slave?It's better to go directly to the barren land outside the city and find a place to dig a hole to bury people.
Occasionally when Zhou Cheng was sober, he felt sorry for the old woman, because he had dragged her down, and advised her not to worry about herself.She has been suffering with her all her life, and she is the one who is sorry for her. When she is gone, she will just live a good life in the future.
No matter what he said, Tie Sanniang just ignored him, as long as she sold herself as a slave, she would have money to see a doctor.They have supported each other for a lifetime, and no matter how big the hurdles have been, they don't believe that there are no hurdles they can't get over.
The story of Tie Sanniang was passed around, but it was spread by others, and Cui Shiqi was notified after someone with a heart heard about it.Cui Shiqi has always been a person who can't afford to suffer.Before, he sent his men to track down these two people, and it didn't take long to hear that they lost news after they left the city. At that time, he had a big fit and punished several servants who were ineffective.
Even a commoner dared to oppose his Cui family, this tone of voice was very uncomfortable in his heart.Before they found the point of attack, they heard news about these two people again, and Dang even brought people over.
Seeing Tie Sanniang in distress, Cui Shiqi felt relieved, since Tie Sanniang sold herself as a slave, it was just right, he bought it with money, and slowly changed the torture, wouldn't it be happy?snort!It is not easy for the master to kill a slave, and no one dares to say that it is not here.In this way, the bad breath in my heart will naturally come out.
Wei Su and the others saw this scene when they came out. Seeing Wei Su's attention, Ah San hurriedly asked the insider next to him in a low voice to understand the cause and effect clearly.
Wei Su had already walked over, pulled away from the crowd, and had a clear look at the situation inside.
"Let me tell you, it's your honor for me to buy you, you bitch, don't know what's good or bad." Cui Shiqi was triumphant, as if he was determined to win.
Tie Sanniang gritted her teeth, and said resolutely: "Although the old woman says she wants to sell herself as a slave, she will not bow to the Cui family. The old woman can accept whoever is the master, but the Cui family is absolutely impossible. Today, Mr. Cui It was a waste of time." How could she not know what would happen if she fell into the hands of the Cui family, so she would rather die than surrender.
"Heh! Do you think you guys can beat me? Just kidding, don't you look at who I am? There is nothing I can't do that I want to do." After finishing speaking, Cui Shiqi waved his hand and was about to let him go hands on.As long as the handprint is pressed on the contract of sale written in black and white, no one can deny it.
Finally, I can avenge the beating that day by this wicked woman. It's extremely fun.
