Famous Doctor Woman

Chapter 120 The appearance of common sense (3)
"That's right, relatives are not those related by blood."

Mrs. Lu seemed to be deeply moved, and sighed faintly.Mo Yan also has two uncles, both of whom are officials outside, and rarely have the opportunity to return to the capital. In the past, the Lu family was not married, and the two elder brothers doted on her very much, as much as their older sister, the Da Lu family. After so many years, the brothers and Yong The Pinghou Mansion barely moved around.

While the mother and daughter were talking, the carriage had already left the county seat and came to a small town. According to the guidance on the map, as long as you pass through this small town, you will be able to reach your father's hometown, a remote mountain village, in half an hour.

"Ma'am, there are a lot of people in front of us, our carriage can't get through."

The coachman wiped the sweat off his face with a white cloth towel around his neck, he stopped the carriage, and asked Mrs. Lu for his opinion, "Let these common people make way."

"No, I'll go down and see what happened."

It's still early, and Lu's family is not in a hurry, as long as she and Mo Yan can reach the village before dinner, besides, in Yingchuan, who knows her as a second-rank lady, the crowd ahead is crowded, maybe something happened.

"Oh, poor girl!"

"Yeah, it's so hot, people have to be buried quickly, but our common people can't afford money."

Mo Yan walked in the direction of the flow of people, and the people saw that she was well dressed, so they hurried out of the way.

"What happened up front?"

Mo Yan couldn't make it to the front, so she stood there and looked around, and asked a fat aunt beside her, "I heard people say that there is a girl with a hard life and a dead body, could something serious happen?"

"Ugh."

The aunt sighed, frowning.There was a girl in front of her who sold her body to bury her father and needed ten taels of silver. She and her father were both refugees from the south. The village was flooded and they came out to beg for a living. Who would have thought that her father would die of an illness. The girl was penniless, so she had to Stand up and sell your body to bury your father.

"Twelve taels of silver?"

Mo Yan knew that in a village, five taels of silver would usually be enough to marry a daughter-in-law, and it would not take so much to bury an old man. This girl had no relatives, so she didn't need to buy a funeral mat. All she needed was a glass of water and wine, which didn't cost ten taels of silver at all. .

"Well, the girl said that a good coffin should be used. Her father has never enjoyed a good time when he was young, and I want him to let him go in peace."

The fat aunt is still a sentimental person, and wiped her tears with her hands. Everyone was kind-hearted, and thought that each of them would collect some copper coins. There are many people and strength, and they can collect enough ten taels of silver to help the girl's father to bury her. But the girl refused. It is said that a person's favor is easy to repay, and she can be a slave or a handmaiden, but she really can't repay a group of people.

"Miss, do you need a maid? Why don't you buy that girl?"

The people around saw Mo Yan, and there was hope in their eyes. Just now, several big families in the town have come to make peace. The girl is good-looking, and she is easy to see. She wants to buy it to be a concubine or a housekeeper. ring.

The people sighed again and again, a good daughter's family would rather be a slave than be ruined by those people, but the people's life is not very rich these days, and no one can afford ten taels of silver to buy a girl.

Perhaps seeing that Mo Yan looked like a lady from a rich family, the people who were watching and sighing in front of her immediately stepped out of the way, and Mo Yan saw the appearance of the woman in front of her.She was wearing a water-blue floral dress, which looked a bit worn out, with a few large patches on it, and it was washed fairly clean.

The girl had black hair, her head was bowed down, her eyelashes were long and curly, and beside her was the corpse of a man covered with a white cloth, so she couldn't see clearly.In the morning, the weather was not too hot, but there was a rotten smell in the air. Mo Yan was very sensitive to this smell, and preliminarily speculated that this person had been dead for at least some time.

"Ma'am, how long has this girl's sign been up?"

Mo Yan whispered to the aunt with half-white hair in the front, she didn't believe that no one would buy such a beautiful girl, ten taels of silver was a lot, definitely not too much, if it had been a few days and she hadn't been buried yet, it would be unreasonable.

"My house is the first one in the front. I just came here at dawn in the morning, so I was shocked."

The aunt's face showed that she couldn't bear it. Those big families in this town are really nothing. They are lustful. When they saw the girl's logo, they almost robbed them by force. There were several servants watching. They wanted to help, but they really couldn't do anything. , no one dared to compete with those toubob.

"Miss, why don't you buy me? I'm willing to serve you as a slave and a handmaid, and to repay you by being a cow or a horse!"

The girl who had kept her head down in front of her suddenly raised her head, she was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with almond eyes and a small Qiong nose, she looked very beautiful, she lowered her eyes and said, "I want to bury my father as soon as possible. "

"Yes, yes, Miss, please do me a favor. Did you see that the servants over there belong to several big families in the town, and they might want to rob someone, alas."

These days, money is the only way to be tough, not to mention that the girl also said that she and her father are refugees from the south, and their household registrations are not in Yingchuan, so if they are robbed, the county magistrate of Yingchuan will not meddle in their own business. Sending oil and water, the county magistrate must have turned a blind eye.

"Hey, I don't want to be an aunt and housemaid, I'm also a girl from a good family."

The girl is pear blossoms with rain, she looks very fragile and pitiful, the people around are trying to persuade Mo Yan, which makes Mo Yan squint her eyes, she just saw the traffic jam here, came down to ask what's the matter, and was found by nosy door-to-door.

What's more, there is a big gap between the girl's words, she said that she came from the south, her accent is not from the south, and the corpse does not look like a new funeral.For a moment, she couldn't think of the real purpose of this woman, as if she was deliberately waiting for her to take the bait.

"Yes, miss, ten taels of silver, you should do good deeds, fulfill a wish for this girl, and find a maid for yourself."

The common people persuaded one after another, they felt that if Mo Yan did not buy it, those big families would definitely make a move, and when a girl’s family was forcibly taken away, how should they resist?
"Okay, since that's the case, let's trouble the folks."

Mo Yan threw over ten taels of silver, and said to the girl, "Give this silver to your father's burial, it should be enough, but I don't need a maid to serve you."

After finishing speaking, Mo Yan turned around to leave, the girl immediately came up, hugged Mo Yan's thigh, and kept crying, which made the people soften their minds again, "Miss, she is a girl's family, with no relatives and reasons, and the world is in chaos, how about Just keep it by your side, and you can be the one who serves tea and pours water."
