Jinyi Music

The convoy traveled another seven or eight miles, and stopped to rest after reaching an open area. They counted the number of people, checked the wounded, and carried out all the corpses and placed them outside. That's what the quacks hired by the convoy did. The business of licking blood with knives has long been a matter of life and death, and now those who died, according to the price negotiated with Liu Dong's family, were given money for compensation one by one, and handed over to their companions to take home and settle down wife and children.

But it was difficult for the old bustard and the dead girl. When Mou Biao asked where the old bustard was from, a girl replied,
"Earlier, I heard that she is from the capital, and there are parents and brothers in her family..."

"Oh...from the capital?"

This was easy to handle, Mou Biao asked where the old bustard lived and who his surname was, and after writing them down one by one, he went back to Jinghao to look for him.

Asked about the hometown of the dead girls, one of the girls cried,
"She and I are from the same hometown. When the family suffered a catastrophe, they had to come out to do this flesh and blood business. Now that she is dead, I will take her back to the hometown for burial..."

After a pause, he begged,
"I also ask my little brother to find a thin coffin for her, and restrain her..."

Mou Biao thought for a while and said,

"In this weather, within three days, the body will rot. How can you transport it back to your hometown? It's better to cremate her on the spot, and then you take her on the road..."

The girl thought about it and nodded,
"Then trouble me, brother!"

Immediately, a pyre was set up, a fire was lit, and the dead were burned one by one. Then, they found jars and put them in them, wrapped them in red cloth, wrote their names on them, and handed them over to individuals for safekeeping. It was already dark.

So the caravan rested here for one night, and went on the road again the next day. Without further ado, they arrived at Yanqing after two days of traveling. He found another firm to sell all the cattle and sheep fur brought back, and stayed like this for another five days.

Those women did not leave during the five days, one was injured and needed to be taken care of, the other was waiting for the carriage to leave Yanqing and wanted to go all the way south, and the Yinger girl also never left, only saying But now I have a home and can't return to it, and I don't have a whereabouts, so I don't know what to do.

Liu Dong's family thought of her life-saving grace to him earlier, so they provided her board and lodging, and let her live in the inn. On the sixth day, they also planned to leave.
"Liu Jin..."

Zhu Houzhao sat in front of the window and looked down at the woman who was doing laundry by the well in the courtyard below. The skirt was raised high and tucked into the waist, and the sleeves were rolled up, revealing a pair of slender arms. This woman is really different from the Eastern Palace. A common woman is not born beautiful, her complexion is not fair, but a healthy wheat color, but her skin is smooth and tender. He sat by the window on the second floor and watched, the rising sun shone on her arms, and she could Let people see that there is still a faint light on the skin...

"Master..."

Liu Jin came over in response,

"Go and ask this Yinger girl what her plans are. She saved us anyway, and we must arrange a good home for her!"

Liu Jin nodded repeatedly upon hearing this,

"Young master has a kind heart, and this servant will do it now..."

So he opened the door and went downstairs, and when he arrived in the yard, he saw that Yinger was holding a big wooden basin, and she moved it to the wall to dry clothes. When she turned her head and saw him, she nodded.

"Liu Dong's family..."

Liu Jin went over and asked with a smile,

"Miss Yinger, we are planning to leave this place tomorrow and go to Shanxi. I wonder what plans Miss Yinger has in the future?"

Ying'er heard the words and sighed, thought for a while and said,
"I have no relatives, no reasons, and no plans in Yanqing..."

He paused for a helpless smile from the corner of his mouth,

"But the left and right have already entered the kiln, the big deal... sell yourself again..."

Liu Jin shook her head again and again,

"A good girl, don't say anything about whether the brothel is not a brothel. It doesn't matter if you don't know someone in Yanqing City. You are still a nobleman, so why don't you find a good family to marry right here!"

When Na Yinger heard the work in hand, she smiled and said,

"Marrying... I was sold by my in-law's family. I am a woman with no relatives and no reason. I am married here. If there is anything wrong with my in-law's family, I have no place to cry. It is better to sell myself. Finally, I can ask for money..."

Liu Jin sighed after hearing this,

"Miss Ying'er, it's your luck to get out of a place like that once, and you must never step in again..."

Ying'er put the clothes in her hands on the bamboo pole, clasped her hands tightly on the top, lowered her head and said,
"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your concern. I... I have this fate... But... no matter what, I will live on!"

Liu Jin sighed.

"According to the girl's character, she will definitely have a good home!"

He was talking with Yinger at the bottom, Zhu Houzhao at the top listened to it all, and when Liu Jin came up to talk about it, he also sighed, thought for a while and said,

"Forget it, let's take her!"

Liu Jin was startled,
"My lord...how can this be done?"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said,
"It doesn't matter, as a weak woman, her life is difficult. Now she is in this unfamiliar place. When we are here, she still has a protection. Once we leave, she will still have to go back to that filthy place..."

Liu Jin thought for a while and said,

"Why don't you give her a sum of money, let her buy a house and land, live a prosperous life, and recruit a son-in-law?"

Zhu Houzhao thought about it and shook his head,

"A woman's family has no husband and no mother's family. Giving her money is harming her..."

Especially in this place outside the pass, gangsters are rampant, if they go ahead, she will die in the back!

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and said,
"I've made up my mind, go and tell her!"

Liu Jin had no choice but to go down. Miss Ying'er's clothes had been dried, and she was packing up her things to go back to her room. Hearing Liu Jin's words, she couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and looked up. Zhu Houzhao was smiling at her at the window. Miss Ying'er Biting his lip for a while, he asked,

"Liu Dong's family, you... tell me the truth, is the one above the real master?"

Liu Jin squinted her eyes when she heard the words, nodded and said,

"You have a good eye..."

Yinger said again,

"That's the case, please report to Liu Dong's family, I want to talk to him face to face..."

Liu Jin didn't want to respond, but remembered that the crown prince seemed to be a little different to this person, so she paused and said,
"Okay, just wait..."

He turned around and went up, leaving Yinger standing there in a daze, not long after Liu Jin came down,

"Come with me!"

This room led Ying'er into the room, saw the person sitting by the window, stepped forward two steps and asked softly,

"Dare to ask... dare to ask what the son's name is?"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said,
"My surname is Zhu..."

"Master Zhu..."

Ying'er gave him a blessing, and then said again,

"My lord, Ying'er is really grateful for your kindness. Ying'er would like to ask, but does my lord want Ying'er to be your slave?"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and shook his head,

"You have saved my life, how can I let you be a slave, just thinking that you are alone, have no relatives and friends, and you will suffer if you have no one to help you here, so why not follow us... in the future When we return to the capital, we can give you a safe home..."

"The capital?"

Yinger bit her lip and asked curiously and yearningly,
"Is the young master from the capital? How is the capital?"

Zhu Houzhao laughed and said,
"The capital city is naturally excellent. Our family has some skills in the capital city. It is easy to find a good family for you. With my support, I guarantee that your in-law's family will respect you for the rest of your life!"

Ying'er's eyes turned red when she heard this, she knelt down with a plop,
"With the words of the son, Ying'er is willing to be a slave or a handmaid!"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and waved his hands,
"Get up... Although I don't want you to be a slave, but for a while outside, I really lack a person who does laundry and cooking, so I will do it for you for the time being. You will be blessed when you return to Beijing... "

Yinger hurriedly said,

"The servant is willing!"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand,
"You don't need to call me a servant girl, and I have to hide my identity from the outside world. Just like the guys in this business, call me Xiao Zhu, call him Mr. Liu, and don't let it slip!"

"Yes!"

After dinner at noon, when Liu Dong's family brought Ying'er dressed in coarse clothes and appeared in the lobby, Mou Biao realized that she was taken by the prince's side. Hearing this, he frowned and thought to himself,
"That woman is obviously a little strange. The prince is by my side. If there is a mistake...wouldn't we be unlucky?"

He secretly resented Zhu Houzhao's willful and reckless behavior in his heart, so he privately persuaded Zhu Houzhao to say,
"Prince, it is very inconvenient for the girl to travel with us, and we have to hide and hide during this trip. One more person is more risky. Why don't we find a place to send her away..."

Zhu Houzhao laughed and said,
"I know Xiaolin's concerns, but Ying'er has saved my life. I can't leave her alone as a weak woman to suffer here..."

He paused and laughed,
"Xiao Lin don't need to worry, I'm not the one who is interested in sex, I just want to repay her kindness, and I will bring her back to the capital, find a marriage for her, and marry her, it will be regarded as my wish!"

He said "my palace" one by one, and he was using his status as a prince to talk about the matter. Mou Biao knew that he didn't want to change his mind. Now that the matter had come to an end, he couldn't say anything more, so he had no choice but to agree!

But he said that he had just come out of Zhu Houzhao's room, and someone came to report him outside.

"The letter from the capital has arrived!"

Mou Biao took the thick kraft paper seal, entered his room, opened the seal, and took out several letters from inside, one was from his father, one was from his mother, and the other was from Silian. He was overjoyed when he saw this, hurriedly took Si Lian's letter, opened the seal, took out the letter paper and read it carefully in front of the window. He read it once from beginning to end, and then read it a second time, but he was stunned. Smacking his lips, he shook his head and said,

"Silian's writing has improved a lot, but she is just too shy and shy, how can she only say one sentence of miss in the whole article, it's useless for me to miss every sentence..."
