Chapter 119 Cannon Fodder Jin 2 Targeted by Slaves
*
Yun Wu's eyes fell on the back of his folded fists.
His fingers were red and swollen from the cold, and the cotton coat on his body was a bit old. It didn't seem to protect him from the cold, but he didn't seem to notice it at all.
It was such a cold day and the snow had just stopped. She didn't know how long Xie Rongjing had been standing before that.
Doesn't he feel anxious about the cold?
Yun Wu looked away awkwardly, raised her chin slightly and snorted coquettishly.
"What are you doing standing at the door of my boudoir so early in the morning?"
The girl who looked like a dumpling standing under the eaves had a very soft and soft voice.
"Have you forgotten, Miss? He is Miss's reading companion. Miss is going to school today. Naturally, he has to wait for Miss to wake up and follow her there."
Chun Xing reminded her from the side, and Yun Wu touched the slightly cold tip of her nose and let out an embarrassed sound.
Yes, Xie Rongjing is the servant in her yard and also her reading companion.
She brought it back to her house in person a few days ago.
Well, she remembered what happened that day——
At that time, because she had already grown hair, her father did not control her as strictly as before.
She and Chun Xing took a carriage and sneaked out to play, because she had been to all places in the capital except the fireworks and willow alleys.
But that day the carriage passed by the slave market. Yun Wu had never been there before, so she took Chun Xing there to find out.
There are many people in the market, and many dignitaries come to select beautiful female slaves to go back to, or select strong male slaves to go back to work as strong men to work as coolies.
The leader is a black-faced steward who is in charge of the slave trade. He is very good at doing business with a sly look. Basically, as long as someone asks about a slave, he can say a good word to get the person to buy the slave.
The status disparity between men and women in the Wei Kingdom is not big, and there is no rule that women have to cover their faces when going out.
Therefore, there are also some inexperienced women like Yun Wu in the slave market. Most of them are here to see what kind of slaves they can buy.
"Miss, it's very smoky here. Let's go back quickly after taking a look."
Chun Xing followed Yun Wu while looking around, and then looked uneasy at the four or five servants following behind her.
"You guys should stay closer and protect the young lady carefully so that nothing goes wrong."
"Chun Xing, please help me choose a slave girl who knows how to write some words. I should go back to school in a few days. I haven't finished copying the books assigned by Master yet..."
Yun Wu's pure and beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, as if she was very satisfied with her idea.
Chun Xing had no choice but to agree. Her young lady was not very active in reading, and copying books was a big problem. If she could find a reading companion, she could have the reading companion copy for her.
Several unkempt slaves wearing shackles and shackles were imprisoned in cages on both sides.
People were coming and going around, and the slaves were sitting in the cage in a daze, letting others choose.
Chun Xing took the heavy bag of money and went to find the black-faced steward.
Although Yun Wu was idle and bored, she still stood there and waited, and suddenly felt a line of sight.
She subconsciously looked sideways and saw a very embarrassed slave sitting in a cage not far away.
His bright eyes could still be seen clearly on his somewhat dirty face, and his dark eyes were staring at her closely.
His eyes were as sinister as an untamable wild wolf. The moment Yun Wu turned around, she was caught by his eyes and her eyelashes trembled slightly and she blinked.
But when I looked over for the second time, I never saw the same look that I saw when I turned around just now.
It was the twelfth lunar month of winter, and he was sitting in a dirty cage wearing only tattered coarse clothes. Although his face was a little dirty, it was easy to see that he had regular features.
His exposed skin was turned purple from the cold, and the shoes on his feet were in tatters.
He looked very embarrassed.
The man still looked at her closely, but there was no lethality in his eyes.
Yun Wu was inexplicably afraid of him, but considering that he was locked in a cage, she had nothing to fear.
Seeing that the man who looked older than her kept looking at her with his clear eyes, she gradually turned red.
"What have you been looking at me for?"
Yun Wu took two steps forward angrily. She was wearing a thick white winter coat that was carved like a snow dumpling. She looked out of place with the black and dirty cage and the young man.
She had never encountered such a disrespectful person in the capital who kept staring at her!Shameless!
"You, you bitch, don't stare at me anymore! Be careful, I'll kick you with a whip, ah, no... I'll whip you!"
Yun Wu blushed and tried to pretend not to be offended, but her voice was soft and did not sound fierce.
And when she finished speaking, seeing the man still staring at her closely, she took half a step back with a guilty conscience, and her momentum suddenly disappeared.
Wuwuwu, she is clearly imitating the way the eldest princess used to teach slaves in the academy. Why is the effect different? Wuwuwu.
She clearly followed the title of "slut" and the fierce tone. Why didn't he seem to be afraid at all?
"Miss……"
The man suddenly spoke, his voice a little hoarse, as if he was dry from not drinking water for a long time.
Yun Wu found that although he was dirty, his hair was still neat and his eyes were clear and clean.
"Buy me, miss..."
He said again, this time his voice was slightly louder, and it filled Yun Wu's ears with a gust of cold winter wind.
"I...I have read some books, can write, learned how to raise horses, and can do rough work..."
After saying that, he pursed his lips with difficulty. His thin lips were a little dry and cracked. He clutched the wooden cage awkwardly, with pleading in his dark and deep eyes.
Yun Wu seemed to be burned by his eyes and shrank her shoulders. She was surprised that he was literate. Her family background should have been pretty good before, but she thought she was reduced to this due to a sudden change.
At this time Chun Xing also came over.
"Miss, I just found a slave girl who can read some words, but she looks a bit clumsy. Miss, do you want to buy her back?"
"No need..."
Yun Wu shook her head gently, bit her pink lips with her white teeth in a tangled manner, and finally stretched out her delicate fingers to point at the man in the cage beside her.
"I want to buy him."
Yun Wu took the man back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. After washing his face, everyone discovered that he was born clean and handsome, with clear and regular facial features, which was very good-looking.
There is also a name that matches his appearance, which is Xie Rongjing.
It's a pity that he was born as a slave with the humblest status. Weiguo is very particular about dignity, so many people in the mansion don't like him very much.
Her father, the prime minister, dotes on her the most. He heard that she personally selected a slave and bought it as a companion. After checking Xie Rongjing's deed of sale and finding that there was nothing wrong with it, he went with her.
