Chapter 10: Chunxiang House

The middleman smiled and said: “Okay, you can pick first.”

The madam walked to the stage, first selected a few little girls and asked them to stand aside, and then her eyes swept over a few older girls.

The madam pulled Bihe, first pinched her face, then asked Bihe to stretch out her hand to look at it, then pinched Bihe’s waist, and then nodded: “It’s okay, the skin and flesh are quite tender. Stand up and go over there.”

Bihe was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes, and she knelt in front of the madam with a plop: “Please, don’t buy me.” She would rather be a slave than go to a place like a brothel. After saying this, Bihe kowtowed with a loud “bang”.

The madam grinned, showing a big gold tooth, “Hey, girl, do you look down on our Chunxiang House? It’s good to live in our Chunxiang House. You can eat spicy food, drink well, wear silk and satin, and have a little girl to take care of you. I’m sure you won’t want to leave after you go.”

Bihe didn’t say anything, just kowtowed.

The middleman waved his hand, and two people came up and pulled Bihe to the selected girls.

Seeing that the madam was about to turn to Gu Fei’s side, Gu Fei was anxious when she suddenly saw a person running towards her not far away.

When Gu Fei saw this man, she was so excited that her body trembled slightly.

As soon as this man ran off the stage, his eyes were anxiously looking for her in the crowd.

Gu Fei suddenly squeezed out of the crowd and stretched out her hand towards this man: “Brother, please buy me.”

This person was none other than the original owner of the body’s eldest brother.

The members of the Gu Family sometimes come to the town to sell vegetables or buy things, and then visit Gu Fei at the back gate of Pingyang Houfu.

Gu Qing was very excited when he saw Gu Fei. He went to the town to buy food today and wanted to visit his sister first. Unexpectedly, he heard on the way that the Houfu had been raided. Gu Qing asked around and happened to hear someone say that the servants of Pingyang Houfu were being sold today in Nanshi.

Gu Qing ran over desperately, fearing that he would be late, and his sister would be bought.

He was startled for a moment when he heard Gu Fei’s words and nodded repeatedly: “Buy, buy, buy, I’ll buy you.”

The middleman came over and yelled: “What are you doing!”

Gu Qing looked at the middleman and said: “I-how much does this girl cost? I want to buy her.”

The middleman looked Gu Qing up and down, and when he saw that he was wearing blue clothes, he sneered: “Okay, you can take the 20 taels of silver with you.”

“20, 20 taels?” Gu Qing was so frightened that he couldn’t even speak.

The middleman said impatiently: “This is a first-class maidservant from Pingyang Houfu. Not only can she sew and thread, but she is also literate. 20 taels is like picking up for free.”

Gu Qing gritted his teeth and said, “I, I will go back to get the money. Please keep this girl for me.”

He only had a few coins with him, and he came to the city to buy food today.

The middleman sneered: “I won’t give you this guarantee. Did you see that this eldest sister is waiting to pick people?”

Gu Qing begged anxiously: “Brother, just do it. I’ll go back and get the money. I’ll be back in an hour or two!”

He doesn’t know if their family has so much money, maybe he has to borrow it.

The madam walked over and took a serious look at Gu Fei, who was standing in front of the stage: “Hey, this girl has nice eyebrows. Why is her face so gray?”

“Haha, you must have covered your face on purpose, you are quite clever.”

The corner of Gu Fei’s mouth twitched and said nothing.

The middleman smiled and said: “Is there still something that can escape from your eyes, eldest sister?”

The madam waved her hand and said: “I want this girl.”
