The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

As soon as the words fell, surprise appeared in people's eyes. You know, twenty cents a day is already a very good income. Even in the town, it is difficult to earn so much.

But if I help her with the work, what will happen to my apprentice?

They still have to pay taxes to the court!

Guessing their concerns, Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Don't worry about the taxes. Lord Zhao said that if you can't pay the grain, you can just use silver to pay it back."

This way, everyone can be completely relieved.

"I! I, Wang Erzhu, am willing to follow the He family forever!" He walked to the front and said with a smile, "Girl, do you think I can do it?"

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Of course you can." This Wang Erzhu is a man who knows how to repay kindness. He can be used.

Most of the workers stayed. After all, at this season, there was no land to farm and no money to earn by staying at home. It was better to come to the He family to work, where they would have food, drink and money.

That night, the He family sat in the dining room, looking at the tidy room they hadn't seen for a long time, with smiles on everyone's face.

"Ruoyi, you have worked so hard these days." The old princess said with a smile: "If it weren't for you, we don't know what kind of life we ​​would have lived. It would be a question whether we could arrive here alive."

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Grandma, you are too polite."

Lin also had a smile on her face: "Now when the baby is born, I will feel relieved."

He Yunyi sat beside her and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is so amazing! She is like a fairy! She made all these come true."

Shang Ruoyi's heart skipped a beat. She had to admit that what she said was very close to the truth.

The next day, she went directly to the county town to buy someone.

The workers she hired were all working on the fields outside and were not allowed to come into the house to serve.

After a while, she entered the city, sat in the carriage, opened the curtain, looked at the hustle and bustle of traffic outside, and the vendors at the stalls were shouting loudly.

There are all kinds of shops on both sides of the road, with many customers coming in and out, creating a prosperous scene.

She found the matchmaker and explained her purpose. The matchmaker was delighted to see that business had come to her door, and happily took her to a courtyard.

"Girl, take a look and see if there is anything you like."

Shang Ruoyi looked at the women standing in front of her with their eyes downcast. They were all frightened like quails and did not dare to look up at her. Here, women who were used for sale were not allowed to look up at the buyers, otherwise they would be whipped.

At this moment, a familiar face came into view.

Peony?

Why is she here?

The originally clever little girl now had a look of despair on her face, and the light in her eyes had completely disappeared.

I looked at her hands. Those originally fair and delicate hands had become rough and had some tiny cracks on them.

Seeing that she kept her head down, she walked over to the matchmaker and whispered softly. The matchmaker understood and ordered people to remove the Peony sign.

Here, having the label removed means that the product has been bought by the buyer.

But there was no smile on the face of the woman who was bought. A few days ago, the madam of Tianxiangyuan came to buy girls, but few of them survived. Thinking of the tragic death, they were trembling with fear.

When Shaoyao heard that her sign was taken down, she looked as pale as death.

Shang Ruoyi selected a few young women.

"Oh, sir, your taste is really first-rate. You have chosen the best girls here." The matchmaker's face was full of smiles.

Watching the few people being taken away, Shang Ruoyi took the matchmaker aside and asked in a low voice, "Is there anyone who knows Kung Fu?"

The matchmaker was startled, and looked her up and down, wondering how she knew that she had just acquired two maids who knew martial arts. But seeing that she looked like she was just asking, she said, "Yes, there are, but the money..."

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Money is not a problem."

"Okay! Sir, please follow me!" The matchmaker smiled happily, "Sir, you don't know that these two maids are not only skilled in martial arts, but also very pretty. However, they are a bit unruly. I just got them and I don't have time to discipline them." She walked up the steps and said with a smile, "I wonder if the young lady will be satisfied."

"Wait till I have seen it first!"

"Okay, okay." When I walked to the innermost room, I saw two beautiful women standing inside.

They had iron chains on their feet and looked at anyone who came in with vigilance.

The older one protected the younger one behind him and said in a deep voice, "What are you going to do?"

Upon hearing this, the matchmaker was furious. She walked up to her and slapped her in the face: "Who gave you the courage to speak to a guest like that? When you come to me, you have to lie down like a tiger and coil up like a dragon! Besides, you signed the indenture of selling your body yourself, why are you still playing tricks on me?"

The woman covered her face with her hands. Although there was resentment in her eyes, she dared not say anything. She just tightened her hands around the woman behind her.

The old woman felt that she was not satisfied and raised her hand to hit him, but then she heard Shang Ruoyi say calmly, "If you have something to say, just talk it out. Why are you hitting me?"

Upon hearing this, the matchmaker withdrew her hand angrily: "I just want them to be more obedient, so that you can train them when you buy them back."

Shang Ruoyi ignored her, turned to look at the two of them and asked, "Why did you sign the contract to sell your bodies?"

"My parents died suddenly, and I have no money to bury them, so I can only resort to this last resort."

"Two coffins bought you two?" Shang Ruoyi glanced at the matchmaker and said, "You are really evil-minded."

"Sir, we are also opening the door to do business. I have so many people to support, and these girls need to eat and drink. I also need to make money!"

"How much silver do you want to sell them for? I'll buy both of them."

When the matchmaker heard this, her eyes lit up and she said with a smile, "Sir, you are so straightforward. In that case, for twenty taels, the two girls will be yours."

Shang Ruoyi snorted coldly: "Do you really think I'm a fool? Two coffin boards, at most two taels of silver, and you turned it ten times over. This business is really a sure win."

The smile on the matchmaker's face froze: "Sir, how much money do you want to pay?"

"Two people, five taels. If you can sell it, then sell it. If you can't, forget it. You're not the only one selling people here."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave. Seeing this, the matchmaker hurriedly stopped her and said, "Don't be impatient, sir! Everything can be discussed, it can be discussed."

Shang Ruoyi turned around, with an impatient look on her face: "Are you going to sell it or not? I still have things to do."

"Ten taels, ten taels of silver is fine." The matchmaker's face was full of smiles: "These two girls are good-looking and clever, you will definitely not suffer a loss if you buy them back."

"Ten taels, I can buy four people. Forget it, I don't think you really want to do this business, so in that case, you can keep these two people for yourself!"
