The official road was ahead, and the carriage slowed down because it had to turn.

At this time, Uncle Mo suddenly stopped the carriage.

I was caught off guard and stumbled, almost falling into the carriage.

"Boy, are you looking for death?" Mo Shuo's unhappy voice sounded outside the carriage.

"Madam, I want to go to Weibei with you. I can do anything and endure any hardship. Madam, please let me go to Weibei with you."

A young man's voice came from outside the carriage. Sitting at the door of the carriage, Zi Su was a little restless. She wanted to open the door, but she didn't dare. She lowered her head and twisted her clothes with both hands.

"Open the car door and see who it is."

Zi Su Yiyin opened the car door, and a young man stood outside. Who is this? I remembered, this is the boy from the Cao family. I saw him yesterday. But he stopped my carriage today, what does that mean?

"Why did you stop my carriage?"

"Madam, I want to go to Weibei with you."

"Why are you following me?"

"Madam, please let me follow you! A man should have ambitions to go far and wide. I want to leave this place and go out and try my luck."

"Do your parents know? Do they agree to let you go? If you leave secretly like this, what will you do if they don't agree?"

"My father doesn't know, but I told my mother when I came out. When my father comes back, he will tell him." Cao Feng, the boy from the Cao family, explained hurriedly.

This is the first time I've encountered such a thing. Should I take this child with me or not? It's obvious that he has something with Shisu. This time, he must be reluctant to let Shisu go.

"You can go with us, but you can only sign a contract to sell yourself like Zi Su. If you can't sign, we can't trust you. Don't bother with it anymore and go home." Uncle Mo saw that I hadn't made a decision yet, so he made it clear in advance.

After hearing what Uncle Mo said, I thought about it carefully and I felt that it made sense. I don't know what's going on in Weibei. After signing the contract, they won't dare to betray me. It's safer in case something happens. Thinking about it this way, I think Uncle Mo's decision is also a good one.

"I'll sign. As long as you let me go with you, I'll sign the indenture." Cao Feng looked at Zi Su and said firmly.

The emotions of youth are always poetic, and those who pursue love may be blind, but they are always the most touching.

"I don't agree, Cao Feng. Do you want to piss off your father to death? If you dare to sign, I won't want you as my son." The angry voice of old man Cao came from a distance.

"Dad, you have several sons, and I am not the only one left. I must go with you. If you disagree, I will run away secretly. It will be even harder to say what will happen then. Besides, I trust Madam, and I just want to go with her." The young Cao Feng did not give in and insisted on his goal.

This really made me feel overwhelmed. One of us wanted to go, but the other didn't. The son was stubborn, and the father was arrogant.

The problem was that he had just handed over his farm to Uncle Cao to help manage it, but in the blink of an eye, he was about to sign a contract to sell his son away.

In this dynasty, the children of those who signed an indentureship were not free.

The most important point is that there is no way to take the imperial examination, which also cuts off the path to becoming an official.

Although it is said that it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son, there are only a few who can really study. After all, studying still requires a certain amount of family background. Without family background, it is simply not possible to support one.

But if I don't sign the contract, there is still hope. If I sign it and the owner doesn't let me go, then there is really no hope.

The only hope is that the master will be merciful and release the slave.

Old man Cao's tears suddenly fell. Cao Feng was a little moved, but still refused to bow his head.

I have no solution to this situation. This is my first time helping the emperor, so I dare not be careless. This is not only related to me, but also to Jiangchuan and others. If I don't sign the contract, Jiangchuan will not let me take it.

Uncle Mo sat lazily in the front of the carriage, not at all moved by what was happening before his eyes, as if he could ignore all of this.

Zi Su couldn't sit still any longer, raised her eyes and advised, "Brother Cao Feng, go back first. Your mother is still waiting for you. Don't make a fuss here."

The young man remained silent, and no matter how everyone tried to persuade him, he was unwilling to leave.

"Madam Yun, let Cao Feng go with you! He would be great to run errands for you. Please accept him and let him be your follower." Finally, Uncle Cao agreed.

"Uncle Cao, if you don't want to, I won't accept it. You have to think it over carefully."

"Think it over carefully. Let him go with you. Everyone has his own destiny. My husband is a kind man, and I feel at ease with him."

"Okay." As soon as I finished speaking, Uncle Mo handed me a contract of sale. I was a little confused. Is this thing okay? Can it be changed at any time? Just take out one when you want it.

Mo Tu saw the confusion in my eyes and reached out to open the stool under his butt. There was actually a grid inside with a stack of written papers on it.

Could it be that the contents were all indentures? When was it written? I was a little amused.

Cao Feng signed without any hesitation, and then at Uncle Mo's signal, got into Brother He's car behind him.

Seeing that this situation would not change, Mr. Cao did not say another word, but just stood there after our carriage left, until our carriage disappeared in the distance.

Father’s love is heavy amidst the vicissitudes of life.
