The heavens can see it!

Initially, she did not have the guts to force the girl into Third Young Master's house. If it wasn't for such a troublesome matter, she would not dare trouble the future Chief Minister.

"In your dreams?"

Xie Xuan's face became uglier and uglier, the voice was squeezed out from his throat.

Wen Jiu was startled, only then did he realize that he had misspoken. Xie Xuan and Su Ruoshui were completely different people.

She pushed the warm hand stove on the table into Xie Xuan's hands, then smiled at him and forcibly pulled out the lie. "It's a dream, but my dream is very realistic! Third Brother why not wait a few days? "

Xie Xuan didn't know whether to throw it or hold it while holding it.

The youth frowned and actually stopped quarreling with her on this matter.

In these few days, Wen Jiu clearly felt that there was still a group of people working in the Xie Family that was fine. As long as Jiang Wuxia stayed in the General's Mansion, there wouldn't be any problems for the time being. With Xie Xuan here, finding out was a matter that would happen sooner or later.

What she had to worry about was just how to inform the Xie Family brothers about the information from her previous life, so that they wouldn't be suspicious of her.

It was too difficult to not reveal himself in front of Xie Xuan, and Xie Heng was too busy to stop talking, so he had to think of a method to achieve both ends of the spectrum.

Wen Jiu thought for a while, then changed the topic, smiling and asking: "Today is a good day, the snow has melted, it is rare for Third Brother to leave, how about we go pick some people to go to General's Mansion together?"

The young man in front of her did not speak as his unfathomable eyes looked at her.

"I'm not buying a girl today."

Wen Jiu couldn't help but find it funny and he helplessly explained: "With such a large General's Mansion, there are only a few people taking care of it right now. As the new year is about to come, we must always make preparations in advance. "When it's spring, the madame and the rest come back, so that they can live more comfortably."

Third Young Master should really bask in the sunlight more often.

However, Wen Jiu had a feeling that this youth should have a somewhat youthful appearance, that was why he was so young.

Xie Xuan nodded his head, and agreed.

Just as Wen Jiu heaved a sigh of relief and was about to go downstairs, he suddenly saw the youth take out a white muslin cloth from his sleeves.

"For me?"

It was only after she read for a long time that she finally reacted. As it was just a muslin cloth, she couldn't help but raise her eyes slightly and ask, "Third Brother wishes for me to wear it?"

Xie Xuan didn't say a word, and stuffed some water in her hands before he descended the stairs.

"Fine, fine, fine. Can't I bring him?"

Wen Jiu followed her down the stairs as they walked.

These rules were really troublesome. There were really too many restrictions placed on women by Great Yan Dynasty and women's lives would become normal if they did not step out of the door. The phrase "a woman without talent is a virtue" was enough to call many women useless people who only knew how to sew flowers and flutter butterflies. All day long, they would circle around their husband and children. When the time came, he would still be abandoned like a pair of old shoes.

Although Third Young Master felt a little awkward, she did not try to force her to do anything, nor did Xie Heng. Compared to the other rich and powerful families, the two elders, Xie Family, were already very tolerant towards her.

Wen Jiu was also not a person who did not recognize good intentions.

The two of them walked out. Jin Er followed behind them.

It was a rare sunny day in winter. The sunlight was warm and comfortable. On both sides of the street, hawkers were setting up stalls. People were coming and going, bustling with noise and excitement.

At the end of the long street was a place called "Thousand Gold Exchange".

On the third floor of the building, the first floor sold common goods that ordinary people could buy with silver taels. On the second floor, there were rare treasures and the like.

As for the third floor, it was said that it hadn't been opened for three years. The last person to go up was someone from the past. As for what exactly he was doing in exchange for the thousand gold, no one knew.

There were a lot of people gathered on the first floor. Some of them could only surround the entrance.

When Wen Jiu and Xie Xu squeezed in together, they saw a beautiful woman tied to the stage with a waist as thin as a willow and a face like a lotus flower.

Beside him, a man in his forties was spitting out words, "Everyone, look carefully! This is a beauty who came from the West Chu, she's rarely seen in the entire Dijing City! "As usual, the starting price is three hundred silver, and the highest bidder gets it!"

Wen Jiu glanced at the stage, and could not help but sigh with emotion: "It's said that all the ladies of the West Chu are astonishingly beautiful, and are all very temperamental …"

Just as she was speaking, she turned around and saw the youth beside her have a dark expression on his face.

Wen Jiu immediately changed the topic, "It's useless no matter how good you look, you can't afford it."

As he said this, he walked to the side. On the side of the main platform were some poor people with thin, yellow faces. The bidding for the beauties was in full swing, making them seem even more pitiful.

Someone led the two girls away while sighing, "If it's not war, then it's civil strife. Every year, there will be people who can't eat their fill and sell their kids. When will this be the end of it!"

Wen Jiu could not help but look at the remaining old and young one, the dealer by the side saw that she was paying attention to him and immediately walked over, "Miss, do you want to buy a servant? "These are all new arrivals, ten silver each. You can pick any one of them!"

The seller here was no different from the goods sold outside. He would hand the goods over to the seller for free.

She couldn't help but frown.

In her two lifetimes, she had done all sorts of business and also bought a lot of servants and attendant s.

Jin Er said angrily: "This is at the feet of the Son of the Heaven, to think that people can be so arrogant!"

"Miss's words don't sound good."

The dealer laughed: "Ask them, which one of them didn't come voluntarily? In the winter, we have neither food nor shelter. If we did not take them in, they would have starved to death by the roadside and no one would care about them. Even their bones would have turned into the mouths of wild dogs. Our thousand gold is only to do good deeds and do good deeds, and to find a good place for them to go! "

The people in tattered clothing on the stage were all huddled up together. Their heads were lowered to the extreme, and no one made a sound.

The Great Yan Treasury had been empty for many years, and the nobles would talk about being diligent and frugal all day long, but they wouldn't be frugal by much. The lives of the commoners under the feet of the Son of Heaven could be considered good, but they wouldn't have such a good life like this if they were further away.

Jin Er said angrily: "Does that mean you are still a good person?"

The dealer laughed and replied, "The exchange of gold for gold will never be forced into the business of selling. Everyone in the Dijing City will know about it!"

Wen Jiu took out 100 gold from his bag and handed it over to the dealer, "I will take these people with me."

The dealer's face stiffened. "Could it be that Miss is joking? "There are at least seventeen or eighteen of them. These ten silver taels each, aren't you being too …"

Wen Jiu remained expressionless, "This one hundred silver is for the hard work of Fu Qianjin in taking care of them, if we really want to buy and sell the people that flow into the Dijing, why don't we go to the Shuntian to discuss it?"
