Cheng Yao didn't dare to stop and look back. She ran so recklessly and didn't know where she was going. She didn't stop until she couldn't move.
Cheng Yao gasps, feeling that her whole lung is burning on the fire. When she looks around, she doesn't know the place. It looks like she can smell the wine in the back alley of a restaurant.
Cheng Yao knows that she can't go to the Cheng family so soon. When Cui Jun finds out that she has escaped, she will send someone to the Cheng family and the Ding family. She can't go to these two places. It's not only hurting herself, but also hurting the Cheng family and the Ding family's relatives.
Cheng Yao doesn't want to report to the official. She's missing. The Ding family doesn't say that. As a father, Cheng is bound to report to the official. If Cui Jun is not sure, how dare she command huiluo to take her to the Cui family.
"Ha ha"
Cheng Yao is hesitating where to go when suddenly a small wooden door rings and is opened. A woman yawns and comes out, followed by a thin man. The woman turns her head and says to the thin man.
"What cats and dogs are going to Hongqi building! Recently, the woman in the family is in charge of your money?! You'll have to treat me to a drink next time you've done me such a disservice
The thin man nodded and bowed submissively and explained to the woman in a very submissive and aggrieved manner.
"My mother is five servant girls who have read books and read characters. Where can I find them? Oh, yes, they say they can't be too ugly. Isn't that a embarrassment to me..."
"Oh, don't embarrass you, then you have to embarrass me. It's not that five servant girls are so hard to find. It's not that you should find five girls who are proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. You can have snacks. Otherwise, the job of Hongqi building will have to be handed over to Jia Laosan, who has been greedy for a long time."
"Ah! Don't worry. If I work harder, I'll only be short of a servant girl. I'm sure I can find one. It's just reading and reading. There must be one. "
The thin man quickly handed over a few coppers, and the woman accepted the money and waved away.
Cheng Yao, who hides aside and hears this, thinks it's a good opportunity. Cui Jun can't search himself openly. He must have become a serious slave in the name of catching runaway slaves. Who knows his identity is different.
"Where can I find a servant girl? I have to be able to read and read. It's really embarrassing!"
The thin man shakes his head and looks at the person who passes by. He doesn't have ink in his stomach, let alone the girl who is willing to serve Hongqi building. They are all ordinary people.
"My hometown is in trouble. Please have a meal for me. I haven't eaten for a long time."
Cheng Yao runs through several alleys, peels off her coat, rolls and rubs on the ground. She makes her clothes dirty and kneels down at the entrance of an alley where the thin man will pass, pretending to be limp and weak.
The thin man instinctively looks at the woman who makes a sound. His eyes brighten when he looks at her. Although the woman's face is dirty, the outline looks very good. At least it's much better than those who just passed by. The man looks around and sees a fruit seller running to grab a handful of dates, throw down a copper plate and walk to Cheng Yao, Throw the date into the broken pottery bowl that Cheng Yao picked up.
Hearing the movement, Cheng Yao opens her eyes and sees that the round jujubes stab Cheng Yao's tears in an instant. The tears rush down and wash the dust on her face.
The thin man's eyes are brighter. He is really a good-looking man. He just doesn't know whether he has read or not.
Cheng Yao remembers her purpose, and these dates remind her of her father and brother. Cheng Yao is like a man who has been hungry for several days. She grabs the dates and chews them, but she doesn't care to look at them.
When Cheng Yao finished eating the last jujube, the thin man squatted down and leveled his eyes with Cheng Yao.
"What's your name, little girl?"
Cheng Yao looks at the thin man gratefully and answers cleverly.
"My name is he Yao, why Zhouzhi, Wei Yu and Yao's Yao."
The thin man almost jumped up. Although he didn't know the meaning of this sentence, he knew that the girl had read books and learned words. It was really good that she could open her mouth to say her name.
"Your hometown is in trouble. What about the family?"
"All lost..."
"Alas, I have a place where people want a servant girl. It's Hongqi building, the biggest brothel in the capital. You don't think it's bad to hear that it's brothel. I tell you, that Hongqi building is different from other brothels. There are rules in its behavior. The servant girl doesn't have to wait on the man. The monthly silver is richer than other places, and the daily food and drink are better than other places, Would you like to see it? "
The man was afraid of Cheng Yao's refusal, and finished all the words in one breath. Then he anxiously waited for Cheng Yao's reply. Cheng Yao was surprised by the man's expectation. Holding the wall trembling, he stood up slightly, looked directly into the man's eyes and asked softly.
"Do you have steamed buns?"
"Meat... Yes! Meat buns, right? That's enough! "
The thin man hums a tune and leads the way. From time to time, he looks back to make sure Cheng Yao keeps up. Cheng Yao pulls her dirty clothes and tries to persuade herself to stay dormant for a while. When Cui Jun finds out about herself, she tries to contact her father and brother.
The steward's mother of Hongqi building looks at Cheng Yao, who is clean and tidy, and nods with satisfaction. No matter how well dressed she looks, she says that some people believe that the eldest lady of any family. Only the maid with this temperament can be more valuable.
Cheng Yao, who took his mother's surname and became He Yao, happily signed the deed of sale after eating three steamed stuffed buns. Anyway, he Yao signed it. When he came back to his father and brother in the future, the deed of sale would be invalid.
When Cui Jun returns to Cui's house, the house is in a mess. After listening to what he has escaped from a servant girl, Cui Jun doesn't care at all. There will be slaves in every family, and there will always be someone in charge to worry about.
Cui Jun goes straight to his room, closes the door, opens the secret room mechanism, and goes in. The more he goes in, the more wrong he feels. There is a smell of blood in the air. Cui Jun can't help but quicken his pace. As soon as he enters the room with candles, he sees gray Luo leaning against the chair, with a gold hairpin in front of his chest.
Huiluo wakes up because the gold hairpin on her chest is pulled out by external force. She opens her eyes slightly to see a strange face. Then she looks down at her chest to block the wound. Huiluo breathes a sigh of relief. It seems that she has been saved. Today Cui Jun comes back later than he expected. Finally, she faints because of the lack of blood. Fortunately, she is finally saved.
