Chapter 1553: 858 Trafficking
There is only one person in the southern border who can be called a marshal, and that is Guan Yubai, the Marquis of Anyi of the former Dayu!
Qu Jiayue didn't know about this, but many of the young masters and girls present were disciples of generals, and most of them knew about it.
During the New Year, as most of the troops stationed in Xiye returned one after another, the prince Xiao Yi changed the military system while discussing merit and reward. Now the Southern Border Army uses the Southern Border's military system, and no longer belongs to Dayu. .
Guan Yubai was officially appointed as the military marshal, and he held the military power. Now he can be said to be very popular in the southern border!
After the battle in the Western Night, the Southern Border Army was convinced by the Grand Marshal.
The blue-robed son who had just shouted "Marshal" was the first to step forward, and the other sons and daughters followed. Some of the girls whispered about Guan Yubai, which naturally spread to Qu Jiayue'er. middle.
She used to only know that "cunning rabbits die, running dogs cook", but she did not expect that Xi Ye had already taken down, but Xiao Yi even gave Guan Yubai a military talisman, and Guan Yubai's status in the southern border was far higher than she knew Much more!
The crowd went in the direction of Guan Yubai, and Qu Jiayue had to take advantage of the situation to step forward, but the steps under her feet were a little hesitant, and her originally radiant face showed a hint of stiffness at this time.
During this period of time, Qu Jiayue had a good life in the southern border. Although the southern border was not as prosperous as the capital, it was much better than the place in the west night where the yellow sand filled the sky and the birds didn't poop. In just a few months, she The skin is much smoother.
And because of her father's relationship with the Marquis of Pingyang, all the prefectures in the southern border treated her with courtesy, and she had the heart to make friends with everyone, so today, I invited some girls and sons to go out for an outing. I didn't expect to encounter Guanyu by chance. White.
When he was in the capital before, Qu Jiayue looked down on Guan Yubai. Even if Guan Yubai cleared up his grievances for the official family back then, he was just a helpless son of a criminal minister, and he was an outcast. Ming is frail and sickly, and Qu Jiayue was in full bloom at the time, so she didn't even look at Guan Yubai, and she didn't even recognize him at first glance...
It turns out that the official language is like this!
Fengshen is handsome, refined and gentle, as gentle as jade, like an immortal descended to the world... They all say that the Prince of Gong Jun, Han Lingfu, is a refined and elegant son, but compared with Guan Yubai, it is really far from the same!
If only I could be with him...
Qu Jiayue's heart was warm at first, but then she became a little nervous. Does Guan Yubai still recognize herself? ! Will he reveal his identity?
It was just a blink of an eye, Qu Jiayue was already thinking about it, and the steps under her feet were slower, her heart was hanging in the air, and she was uneasy.
"I've seen the marshal!"
The blue-robed son who walked in the front was the first to give Guan Yubai a folded fist. He was a hundred generals in the Southern Border Army. He had also served under Guan Yubai during the previous battle with Xiye. Naturally, he recognized him. A newly promoted Grand Marshal in southern Xinjiang who rarely communicates with various prefectures.
"Ren Baijiang." Guan Yubai revealed the identity of the other party in one sentence, which made the young son Ren a little flattered.
After he responded, he hesitantly looked at the little guy on the pony, and said tentatively, "This...is he a descendant?"
Hearing this sentence, everyone was shocked. They were just speculating about who this boy who seemed to be no more than two or three years old was, but most of them didn't think about the descendants. After all, apart from Guan Yubai, Xiao Xiaoyu, and Xiao Si, there was obviously no one else around.
The grandson is the heir to the next generation of the palace. Will the grandfather and the concubine so easily entrust the grandson to others to take them out? !
Many people looked at each other in dismay, but thinking that Shi Ziye's style of doing things for others has always been unexpected, and felt that it was impossible.
Immediately afterwards, those young masters and girls saluted Guan Yubai and Xiao Xiaoyu one after another:
"I have seen the marshal, grandson."
Xiao Xiao Yu, who was sitting astride the pony, raised his hand and said in a loud voice, "No gift."
Is this child the son of Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi? ! Qu Jiayue just glanced at it, but she couldn't help but look again.
This child is obviously well-bred, with a plump and sturdy appearance, a pair of peach blossom eyes that are similar to Xiao Yi's shining like black grapes, and a round face like a glutinous rice dumpling.
Qu Jiayue's heart was surging again, mixed with grief, jealousy, and unwillingness...
She half-blinded her eyes, not daring to look any further.
Most of these young master girls who came out today were not familiar with Guan Yubai, so naturally they did not dare to invite each other to go out for a walk. After bowing, the son took the initiative to bid farewell, and everyone laughed and left, and continued to walk along the lake. Enjoy the view.
The spring breeze is slowly, and the warm wind makes the tourists drunk.
In the crowd, many girls couldn't help but look back, water glittering in their black eyes.
The girl Huaichun, most of them thought of one direction.
Guan Yubai is not married yet!
They say that they are a little older and know how to hurt people...
Some of the girls' faces were dyed with a blush like sunset glow, and they were charming.
Qu Jiayue naturally noticed it, and she was disdainful in her heart, and her eyes were deep, like a bottomless pool: She still has a chance!
The group gradually walked away, talking and laughing at Yanyan, and Guan Yubai had long since taken Xiao Xiaoyu to the other direction, playing and stopping at will, and came to a nearby village aimlessly, unknowingly. , followed by a few "sneaky" figures behind them.
Of course, Xiao Si also noticed that if these were suspicious robbers, he would have dealt with them long ago, but they were just a few children from the nearby villages.
Several children were staring at Xiao Yu on the pony, pointing and pointing. What was more troublesome was that they also notified their little friends that more children were called, and more than a dozen children of all ages came curiously. Watching Xiao Xiaoyu.
Children are naturally observant, and they found that the three nobles did not intend to expel them, and the good-looking son and the little son seemed to be very friendly, and they got closer and closer with curiosity. The snot-snoting boy dared to speak: "Little brother, is this a pony?"
Horses are extremely precious among the people. For these ordinary farmers, having a cow or a donkey at home is already quite affluent. The children of these farmers can occasionally see passers-by riding by on the roadside, but this is not the case. The pony had never seen it before.
"This must be a mule, right?" Another five- or six-year-old girl couldn't help but said.
Xiao Xiaoyu frowned, pointed to himself and said solemnly: "I, big brother!" Obviously, he is taller than them, of course, big brother!
The corner of Xiao Si's eyes twitched, and he was a little speechless about the obsession of Xiao's father and son.
"Big brother." The boy called out stupidly.
The little guy is accustomed to wanting to touch his purse to give people a gift, but he was out to play today, and he didn't bring a purse at all. Said to his younger brother, "My younger brother is riding a horse."
The little guy gave his pony out generously.
"It's a horse! It's a pony!"
The children in the back started chattering, and their eyes lit up with excitement.
The boy with short hands and short feet was still young, so of course he couldn't climb right away, so in the end it was Xiao Si who helped him up.
The other boys could ride their horses as soon as they called "Big Brother", and they all gathered around and lined up to call Big Brother.
Xiao Xiaoyu has always been generous, and readily lends them a pony to ride, that is, Xiao Si, who has suffered so much to lead the horse.
After a while, Xiao Xiao Yu and the children had a lot of fun, and some people hospitable invited him and Guan Yubai to have lunch... When they left, the children sent him a long way behind him Warmly invite "big brother" to play again.
Xiao Si finally knows what it means to be "like a father, like a son".
The three rode their horses away.
After returning to Bixiaotang, Xiao Xiaoyu hurriedly went to show off to his mother. While bathing in the wooden barrel, his mouth never stopped, talking about where he went today and what he saw; talking about his "little brothers". "; talking about the chickens and moo cows in the village; talking about the roasted sweet potatoes buried in the straw ash at noon, which is fragrant and sweet...
The little guy's vocabulary is limited, he stumbles and stumbles, and from time to time, he is more than a finger. Nangong Yue basically relies on guessing half of the time, asking him from time to time: "Is it fun?" "Does it taste good?" "Does it look good?"
Talking and talking, the little guy who played for a long time became sleepy. When the nurse and the maid took him out to dry off and get dressed, he tilted his head and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Nangong Yue hugged the little guy and lay down on the couch and fell asleep...
In the afternoon of Bixiaotang, the sun is slightly drunk, and it is quiet and leisurely, which is suitable for a nap.
Compared with the southern border, the early spring in the capital is much colder. Even when the sun is shining in the afternoon, you have to wear a thin jacket to keep out the cold.
At this time, Bai Muxiao was walking on a street in the royal capital wearing a simple cyan thin jacket and dress. Her head was wrapped in a cyan handkerchief. She was as simple as a common woman who could be seen everywhere on the road, with a haggard expression on her face. , soulless.
Seeing people coming and going on the street, there was a lot of noise, but Bai Muxiao didn't know what to do.
Although some time has passed since the "blood test" in Jingzhao Mansion, to this day, the streets and alleys of the capital are still talking about it, scolding Bai's sloppy Yanghua, and mocking Han Lingfu's green cloud. Covering the top, Bai Muxiao felt ashamed and angered every time she heard it, but she was helpless.
Today, she is nothing but a backwater dog, anyone can beat her!
Bai Muxiao gritted her teeth secretly, her heart overflowing with unwillingness.
That day, in Wanping Town, after Ayimu knocked her unconscious, she left with Han Weijun in her arms. When Bai Muxiao woke up, she wanted to catch up, but found that Ayimu and Han Lingfu were surrounded by Jinyiwei. .
In that case, she couldn't do anything at all, the only thing she could do was—
escape!
For more than a month, Bai Muxiao has been hiding in Wanping Town. It was not until recently that the rumors passed, and she quietly came to the capital to find out about Han Lingfu, Ayimu, and Han Weijun.
First, though, she had to find a place to settle down.
Bai Muxiao touched her empty cuffs, she has no money on her body, and now she can only use it as her jewelry.
As Bai Muxiao walked, she looked around until she stopped in front of a "Shi's pawnshop", and then walked in resolutely.
In the pawnshop, a skinny guy was sitting behind the counter and making an abacus, making a crisp beading sound.
Bai Muxiao walked to the counter, took out a wish-fulfilling jade hairpin from the hidden pocket in her sleeve, and said, "I want to be a hairpin."
"To live or to die?" said the man casually, looking up.
"Death." Bai Muxiao said lightly.
The guy took out a wooden tray and motioned Bai Muxiao to put the hosta on it, glanced at it, and said casually, "Little lady, the quality of your hosta is ordinary, if there are no flaws, it can be worth two taels of silver... …”
This guy still wants to tease her! Bai Muxiao smiled coldly, and planned to grab back her hosta, "This hairpin is Mo Cui!"
"Wait a minute!" The man smiled and held down the tray, "Little lady, don't be impatient, let me take a look."
Bai Muxiao knew that the people in these pawnshops were all bullies, fearful of evil, and bullying others. It was probably the same for another pawnshop, so she withdrew her hand.
The man pretended to look at the hosta carefully again, and then said: "Twenty taels, little lady, at most twenty taels."
Bai Muxiao frowned slightly, and the guy said again, "Little lady, you can't give you twenty taels when you go to another house!" He curled his lips, as if to say, which of these pawnbrokers is not short of money!
Bai Muxiao knew in her heart that this hosta was worth at least fifty taels, and this guy was right... The pawnshop was a place to cheat people, so she could only bear it when she was in a hurry to spend money.
"Okay, twenty taels are twenty taels." She nodded in agreement, "Please, little brother, get me some silver coins."
The guy immediately smiled wide-eyed, and responded again and again, and said with a smile: "Little lady, wait here for a while, I'll go to the back to get the money." After that, the guy opened the curtain and went to the inner room...
After a cup of tea, Bai Muxiao walked out of Shi's pawnshop holding a blue purse, and was about to go to the right when someone suddenly hit her behind her.
Bai Muxiao let out a low cry and stumbled to the ground. In the next instant, a gray shadow flashed in front of her. She felt that her hand was empty and her purse was taken away!
"Thief!" Bai Muxiao hurriedly got up and ran after the gray figure in front of her, shouting, "Hurry up and catch the thief!"
The passersby heard the sound, but no one came to help.
Bai Muxiao had to grit her teeth and chase after her. She was broke, and this was her last silver.
Bai Muxiao panted and chased across two streets, followed the gray figure and turned into a narrow alley. When she realized that there was no one else around, she stopped alertly.
But it's too late!
She didn't have time to turn around, she only felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck, and she didn't know what hard object hit her, followed by her head dizzy...
Oops!
Bai Muxiao's heart skipped a beat, and she was tricked.
She didn't even have time to call for help, her body fell uncontrollably, her mind was dizzy, her eyelids were heavy...
Soon, her eyes darkened and she lost consciousness.
I don't know how long it took before Bai Muxiao woke up in a daze, but the back of her neck was dizzy, dizzy and painful, and her eyes were dark.
She felt like she was being packed in a sack, and the bumpy feeling under her and the sound of the chariots in her ears told her that she was on a carriage.
Where will she be sent? !
Bai Muxiao wanted to scream, but her mouth was blocked by a ball of sackcloth, and her wrists were tied behind her with hemp ropes. She struggled so hard that she couldn't move...
Gradually, a feeling of despair rose in her heart and spread...
It wasn't until this moment that Bai Muxiao suddenly realized how difficult it was for a lonely woman without the protection of her family to survive in this world.
Once she is no longer the girl of the Bai family, or the concubine of Prince Gong's mansion, even the thought of living an ordinary life is an extravagant hope!
She was unwilling, she was obviously smarter and more talented than those so-called noble ladies in the capital, why couldn't this world allow for an outstanding woman!
"Gululu..."
The wheels of the car rolled rapidly, and it was unknown how long it took before the carriage stopped, followed by a sharp old female voice: "Er Gouzi, the things you brought this time are not that kind of vulgar fans again, right? Our Tibetan Fragrance Pavilion is not like the Baihualou that accepts all cats and dogs!"
"Mother Yu, don't worry, this is a first-class product!"
During the conversation, Bai Muxiao felt his eyes light up, the sackcloth bag was pulled away, and he looked at an old woman with heavy makeup and scrutiny.
Bai Muxiao made a "crack hum hum" sound, the old woman smiled with satisfaction, and grinned, "This product is okay. Carry it up to the old lady!"
Immediately, the sackcloth was pulled up again, and Bai Muxiao's eyes fell into darkness again, just like her heart.
She was actually sold to a brothel!
Bai Muxiao's heart sank little by little, until it sank to the bottomless abyss...
