The official opened his mouth to scare him so much, and the old bustard didn't dare to say anything, but she actually had no loss, because she hadn't paid yet, although the purchase and sale documents had been brought and the little lady's brother had also drawn the charge, but there was still the last step of the delivery procedures, that is, the old bustard had not had time to give the money, and the little lady made a fuss first.

In this way, as long as the bustard says not to buy it, he can stop the loss in time, and the ordinary people of a small family can only admit it, and they can't set off any waves.

"Anyway, there is no official transaction yet, this matter has nothing to do with us, let's go, go back."

The old bustard had a cold face, went back with a few thugs, and let go of the little lady by the way.

"Don't go, haven't you paid yet?"

The little lady's brother was anxious and shouted loudly.

"The old lady won't buy it."

The old bustard shook off a sentence from afar.

"It's all your fault, what's the trouble, I sold you so that you can live a good life, and there are the most rich sons in the Qinglou."

The little lady's brother didn't get the money, so he poured all his anger on his sister, and his sister was crying in addition to crying.

"It's useless to cry, if you don't buy this one, then the next one, I will definitely sell you tonight."

The little lady's brother took a tough attitude, not caring at all that there was a majestic official next to him, after all, he is now the head of the family, and he has every right to dispose of the people in his family, even if the official has no right to interfere.

This is the case in the era of the Tang Dynasty, it is a natural thing for parents to sell their children, and if the father dies, the elder brother will be in charge, and the elder brother will sell the younger sister in the family, it is also feasible, no one will stop this behavior, and no one has the right to stop it.

"Don't sell me, don't sell me, I'm going home."

The little lady cried aggrievedly.

"Go home, go back to the house of a fart, there will be a lame old lady left in the house, if you dare to make trouble, I will sell you two together early tomorrow morning, maybe you can sell a little more."

The man scolded angrily.

The little lady was angry and cried: "That's your own mother, how can you be so ruthless, you are a brute." ”

"Even his mother dares to sell it, this kid really has no conscience, how can there be such a person."

"Such a man deserves to live."

"Lao Chen, such a person should be arrested."

Most of the onlookers were dispersed, and the few who didn't leave were very angry when they heard this.

In the Tang Dynasty, parents sell their children, it is a natural thing, just like the emperor killed his courtiers, and the king told the ministers to die and the ministers had to die, which is normal, but the reverse is not normal, that is called great rebellion, this is the concept of respect and inferiority in this era, which has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The officials are generally people who understand the law, but in this era, they can't help it, and they give this shameless man a fist when they go up.

"Why hit someone, why."

"Just because you are disobedient, brothers, hit me."

Lao Chen, the leader of the officials, was really angry, although he was slippery, but at least he was a filial son, when he heard this, he immediately became angry, and he didn't beat people up, he couldn't get out of his heart.

After a violent beating, Lao Chen was still angry, and directly ordered the person to be arrested, and he would give a good education first, after all, several of their officials heard this kid say something rebellious, and there were many onlookers who could testify, so their behavior was legal, and it was not a beating for no reason.

After the man was beaten, his temper was gone, and he was taken away by the officials without saying a word, and the crowd of onlookers was driven away again.

At this time, Yan Ruyu, who was not too far away, appeared, and she sympathized with this little lady, so she decided to help her sincerely.

"Little lady, why did your brother sell you?"

Yan Ruyu asked softly.

"He owes gambling debts, and if he wants to pay the debt, he will sell me to pay back, woo woo woo ......"

The little lady spoke.

"What about your aunt? Doesn't she protect you? ”

Yan Ruyu asked.

"Daddy and Auntie have liked to be used to their brother since they were young, and they will give whatever their brother wants, even if my brother sells me, no one will protect him."

The little lady spoke.

"What a poor little lady, since A-Niang can't protect you, then what do you have to go home for? Are you still homesick? ”

Yan Ruyu asked.

"But I have no relatives anymore, after Daddy died, except for my brother, only Auntie remained, she didn't love me, I also had to go home, otherwise, where else could I go?"

The little lady said helplessly.

Yan Ruyu said gently: "If you want, you can follow me, go to work in my workshop, and support yourself." ”

"Can I really support myself?"

"As long as you want, you can."

"But my aunt's legs and feet are not good, and her eyes are not good, every time I sew and mend clothes, I thread them, and I carry the firewood at home from the mountains."

The little lady hesitated.

"Are you worried about your aunt, afraid that she will have a bad time at home alone, so what else will your aunt do besides needlework?"

Yan Ruyu asked.

"A-Niang does laundry, cooking, and needlework, but it's a little slower."

The little lady replied.

"This is easy to do, just let your aunt work in my workshop with you! Food and shelter, and wages. ”

Yan Ruyu said.

"Really? Thank you so much, thank you ......"

The little lady said gratefully.

Afterwards, a guard led the little lady to visit the workshop, and if there were no problems, she could live there.

"Madame is really kind, when she sees a poor person, she thinks of helping, in the past few years, Madame must have helped a lot of such poor people!"

Ang Lee asked.

"The sisters in the workshops were all poor poor people, some of whom were recruited by servants, and some of whom were accepted when they met them on the road."

Yan Ruyu opened her mouth and replied.

"Madame sees pity and accepts it, regardless of what the other party is doing? Really nice guys, huh? ”

Li An said.

Generally speaking, there are not many people who can do this, the workshop recruits workers, what is to be healthy, able to bear hardships and stand hard work, rather than choosing poor people, because the workshop also has to survive, only by recruiting people who can work, the workshop can run with maximum efficiency, and the boss can earn more money, that is to say, the workshop is a money-making institution, not a charity, and what is wanted is real benefits, and Yan Ruyu obviously violated this.

In the fiercely competitive society of later generations, Yan Ruyu's behavior is tantamount to self-defeat, but it is different in the era of Datang, because Li An has too much knowledge, and the workshops that Yan Ruyu is responsible for are basically monopolistic in nature, so that even if they are looking for some inefficient employees, it will not have much impact on the operation, because the processed products are all profiteering, and the proportion of labor costs is not high, even if it is increased, it will not have much impact.

"Saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, seeing people in need, helping them is also a virtue, since you have this ability, if you don't help it, how can you rest assured."

Yan Ruyu opened her mouth and replied.

This is clear enough, that is, when you see someone in need, you have to find a way to help, otherwise, you will feel uneasy, and forget what you can't see, and do your part will make you feel better.

"Haha! Madame is really a bodhisattva! Avalokiteshvara is nothing more than that! I hope I don't meet such a poor person again tonight. ”

Ang Lee shook his head and said.

"Why, my husband doesn't want me to help these poor people."

Yan Ruyu asked with a little disappointment.

Li An smiled: "Of course not, I don't want there to be so many poor people in this world, the more poor people I meet, the more it means that there are more poor people in Datang." ”

This is a concept of probability, if you can meet a lot of poor people when you go out casually, then it is enough to show that the proportion of these poor people is very large, and this can not be a good thing.

"Oh, that's right! Then it's better not to meet it, I really hope that there will be fewer such poor people, the fewer the less. ”

Yan Ruyu said.

This is just an unrealistic ideal, the reality is very difficult to do, no matter how fair the society, it is impossible to put an end to the occurrence of less food and clothing, there are always unexpected situations, for example, some people are bored, they want to gamble, and gambling how can there be no loser, the loser will sell his son and daughter, there will be a lot of poor people.

Even if everyone in the family is normal, it is inevitable that someone will get sick, once someone in the family is sick, the medical expenses are definitely not a small amount, and it can completely drag down an ordinary family, so that everyone in the family becomes a pitiful person.

In any era, an ordinary family can not withstand the toss, once there is a mistake, it will be a catastrophe, sick will drag down a family, the family has vices, it will also drag down a family, someone in the family investment failure, it will seriously drag down a family, in short, ordinary family people, do everything is to walk on thin ice, any small mistake may ruin the family.

The lanterns in the capital are so wonderful, there are all kinds of creative lanterns everywhere, and even Ang Lee has to be amazed by many lanterns, thinking that the designer of this lantern is smart enough to think of such a way.

However, the longer you walk, the more tired your legs and feet become, after all, the flow of people on the street is too large, even if you are rich, you have to go shopping, no one can take the transportation, otherwise, it will cause more pressure on the waiting traffic.

Of course, on such occasions, it is not completely without vehicles, but some licensed vehicles, such as paid vendors, vehicles pushing snacks are allowed to enter, but the time period is limited, they must arrive at the designated location before dark, and then, they cannot move casually, as for going home, it must wait until after midnight.

Although the Tang Dynasty Chang'an City is already a veritable city that never sleeps, there are only a few people who can really stay up through the night and a half, and most of them will go home to sleep before the middle of the night, otherwise, there will be no way to get up on time the next day, and these hawkers who sell snacks and small commodities must choose to leave after most of them have left, of course, there are also some hawkers who do not plan to go back, they will stick to the night and will not go back until the next morning, so that they can sell one more breakfast and earn more money.

In order to make more money, these vendors are also hard enough, and they have very little time to sleep, after all, after going back, they can't sleep long in the morning, and they have to prepare ingredients in the afternoon, and before dark, they have to prepare to arrive at the designated area of the Lantern Festival, there is not much chance to sleep at all, and it is very good to sleep for two or three hours at most in the morning and afternoon.

However, at night, there is hardly any decent business, so, at night, these vendors are free to nap, and, in the case of a large number of people, as long as one person is in charge of watching the stalls, the rest of the people can hide in the makeshift tents to rest, if the night conditions are better, they should be able to rest for an hour or two, and the two rest periods together should be able to reach the standard rest time of four hours, which is also enough to recover physical strength.

"Madam, are you tired of walking, do you want to take a rest?"

Seeing that Yan Ruyu seemed to be a little unable to walk, Li An asked.

Yan Ruyu pulled her mouth and said, "Can you not be tired after walking such a long way!" I'm really tired! I can't walk anymore, so why don't you sit down and rest! ”

There happens to be a snack stall next to it, and there are not many customers, so there is no problem in making some to rest, but if you don't order some food, just sit for a while, it will be too embarrassing, this is tantamount to taking advantage of small vendors, although some people will do this, when the business is not too much, the bench is idle, and the small vendors will not have any opinions, but it is a little inappropriate, at least, Ang Lee does not like this.

"If there's anything delicious, come and have two servings and taste it."

After Li An sat down, he opened his mouth to order.

This small vendor is much smaller than the one that ate before, there are only three people who are busy, and there are not many tables and chairs, only six sets of tables and chairs, and there are up to twenty-four people who are full, and no more can sit down, and when Li An came, there was only one table of people eating, and there was a table of three people who were rubbing seats.

After sitting down, Yan Ruyu was gently rubbing her calves, and Li An saw it.

"Madam, my leg hurts, do I want to rub it for you."

Li An asked with concern.

"People come and go, but the husband is still ......"

Yan Ruyu naturally wouldn't agree.

"Guest officer, there are only three kinds of dim sum in the stall, please taste it."

Soon, six side dishes were served, all of which were very ordinary snacks and nothing special. I don't have much appetite when I look at it.

"Madame, do you have a taste? Now that you've ordered food, you have to take a bite. ”

Ang Lee said with a smile.

Both of them ate a few bites, and ate some of each meal, but the taste was really average, maybe because they had eaten a lot just now, and they really didn't want to eat it at the moment, so they left the rest in the bowl.
