Chapter 196 Madman
Ren Yazi didn't know why, but nodded and said: "We are serious in the dental business, and these guys are naturally clean. Don't worry."
"Is there anyone kidnapped?" Zhang Yunniang asked.
Ren Yazi said: "Madam, you are worrying too much. Under the emperor's feet, officials govern Qingming. How dare we do such a thing?"
"Besides, kidnapped boys rarely come into our hands."
"Then where will they go?" Zhang Yunniang asked.
Ren Yazi said casually: "If you are young, most of them will be sent to the palace."
Zhang Yunniang immediately bit her lower lip tightly.
Gu Mingda patted his wife's shoulder comfortingly.
Gu Mingda had already told his wife before that Xiao Er was likely to be sent to the palace, but Zhang Yunniang always had a glimmer of hope in her heart, so when she saw the child who was about twelve years old, she couldn't help but ask a few more questions. .
Now Ren Yazi's statement has extinguished the last trace of fantasy in her heart. Now that she sees these eleven or twelve year old boys, how can she feel better.
Gu Mingda helped his wife sit down and turned to ask Ren Yazi: "My eldest son is fourteen. Is there any older scholar?"
Before Ren Yazi could answer, someone among the group of teenagers spoke.
"Master, my brother is thirteen and I am twelve. We can serve the young masters together."
The young man who spoke had dark skin and a thin body, but his eyes were bright.
Ren Yazi glared at him, as if he was dissatisfied with his proactive behavior.
Gu Mingda was not unhappy at all. When he saw a child who was about the same age as his lost son, he couldn't help but be a little more tolerant and said, "It's okay, let him talk."
When the young man heard this, he immediately knelt down heavily on the ground: "Noble sir, I don't want to be separated from my brother. If I offend you, please don't remember the villain's fault."
Gu Mingda asked: "Have you read the book?"
The young man said: "My father is a child, and I learned a few words from him when I was a child."
"Since your father is a scholar, how did he end up here?" Gu Mingda was very puzzled.
The young man sighed and said: "My father was determined to take the exams, but he failed every time. His heart disease became serious and he couldn't afford it. My mother sold all the family property and failed to save my father. After my father left, , my mother also passed away, leaving only us two brothers."
"We couldn't live anymore, so my brother said he would sell himself to the palace to support me, but I didn't want to. He said that if he wanted to sell himself, we would both sell him, even if it was cheaper, as long as both brothers were well."
After hearing this, everyone present was filled with sighs.
"The elder brother is responsible, and the younger brother is also aware of the righteousness." Mrs. Gu sighed, taking out a handkerchief and wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Seeing the opportunity, Ren Yazi asked someone to call the little boy's brother over.
The two brothers stood together. They were not very tall and both were dark and thin. They looked quite pitiful.
Gu Mingda glanced at Niu Niu, who was looking at them with tears in her eyes.
"Brothers are so pitiful, they have no parents..." Niu Niu whispered to Zhang Yuniang.
For Niu Niu, not having her parents is almost the most terrifying thing in the world.
Zhang Yuniang coaxed her daughter in a soft voice and said, "It's not a bad thing that the two brothers can stay together and support each other."
The two brothers were overjoyed when they learned that they had finally been able to sell it. The younger brother even held his elder brother in his arms and said auspicious words for a long time.
Just from this, Gu Mingda could also see that among the two, the younger brother should be the one who made the decision. His younger brother Liu Feng is smart and Gu Zhao may not be able to suppress him, while his older brother Liu Yue is honest and honest, so he is more suitable to take care of Gu Zhao who has an out-of-the-box personality.
The Gu family continued to select people, and each of them selected a boy and a maid to serve the old couple, and then stopped selecting.
Mrs. Li, on the other hand, waved her hand and bought five more girls and four boys.
"Okay, I'll pick it up here today. If I need it in the future, I'll come to you." Ms. Li said casually.
Ren Yazi nodded and bowed in response.
Just as the two families were about to leave, suddenly a girl who looked fourteen or fifteen years old rushed out from the utility room on one side, ran to the two families and knelt down in front of them.
"Please take me away! Don't let her sell me to that dirty place!"
The girl kowtowed hard, and soon her forehead turned red.
Zhang Yunniang and Mrs. Li both looked at the man Yazi with shocked eyes.
Ren Yazi yelled at the girl: "Go back! This is not a place for you to run wild!"
Two young men immediately appeared from the side and rushed forward, trying to hold the girl down.
"Please! Don't sell me to the land of fireworks! I know many things! I can make soap! Make perfume! Wuwuwuwu..." the girl shouted loudly before her mouth was covered.
Ren Yazi turned around and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, this girl has some mental problems. She always speaks in confusion..."
Zhang Yuniang looked at the weak woman who was still struggling, and she couldn't help but feel sympathy in her heart.
"Why sell her to the land of fireworks?" Zhang Yunniang asked.
Ren Yazi sighed and said: "Madam, I don't know. This girl has a background. The noble man has said hello that she must be sold to a dirty place."
Mrs. Gu was old and had several granddaughters at home. How could she see such abuse? She couldn't help but sigh with emotion on the spot: "What a crime. A good girl can just get married. Why bother?" Sold to a dirty place."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuniang and Mrs. Li both turned to look at Mrs. Gu in surprise.
Why are getting married and entering a brothel being discussed together by Mrs. Gu?
Zhang Yunniang hesitated for a moment and said, "Mom, getting married is not necessarily a bad thing. I feel more comfortable after marriage."
Mrs. Gu said angrily: "Your stepmother looks like this, and anyone she meets will want to run away. If you are unlucky, you will have no place to cry when you meet an in-law like Xiao Liu!"
The Xiao Liu that Mrs. Gu mentioned was not someone else, but Liu Xiaoru.
Zhang Yuniang fell silent when she heard this. If she really married into a family that seeks wealth and murder, I really can't say whether it would be better than entering a brothel.
"Mingda, can our family keep this child?" Mrs. Gu burst out of kindness and took out her purse, wanting to buy him out.
Ren Yazi, who was actively selling people before, was very hesitant this time.
"Old lady, this girl is really crazy, she doesn't have a clear mind." After Ren Yazi said this, he waved his hand and told his men to let go of covering the girl's mouth.
The girl let out a miserable laugh: "Evil people, they are all evil people. The promising eldest young master drowned and died, while the unpromising second young master peeled off his skin and picked out the grass, cooked the oil in the fire, decorated the flowers with brocade, and ended up with nothing in the end!"
Hearing these words, Ren Yazi hurriedly asked someone to cover the girl's mouth.
"You also heard it. If this girl hadn't cursed the master, the noble man wouldn't have sold her to that dirty place!"
