Both of them saluted the Li family brothers together.

Lu Zong said: "Brother Li, forgive us for our ignorance and offense just now, we will not look for this jade pendant, even if we want to look for it, we may not be able to find it.

"We will follow your brothers around, don't worry, we will obey the arrangement in everything this time."

Jiaren sighed inwardly, knowing that these two people would not be able to get rid of them.

In fact, he didn't want to walk with them.

Jia Xu is fine, but Lu Zong's status is obviously special. If something happens and there is an injury, the Li family will be easily blamed.

So, isn't it a disaster?

But the words have already reached this point, if you refuse again, you will offend others.

He could only say: "Brothers, in Xindu, at the foot of the emperor, naturally no one dared to make trouble.

"But here the sky is high and the emperor is far away. There will be danger at any time. Please be more cautious in your actions. If you have differences of opinion, you must listen to our arrangements."

"Okay, we must obey the arrangement this time." Lu Zong quickly responded.

He and Jia Xu lost the jade pendant, and it was a blow to the head, allowing them to see the dark and sinister behind the prosperity of the pier...

Everyone continued to move forward, leaving the area of ​​the dock, and the market was quieter.

But people come and go, and it looks like an ordinary county town, which makes people feel more at ease.

Unlike the heavy snowfall in the north, the temperature here is the same as in summer, not only hot, but even a bit stuffy.

Brother Mao was young, and he was hot and thirsty after a while.

So, a few people chose a restaurant, seeing that most of the tables in the front hall were full, they also went in.

The master and servant divided two tables, each ordered four dishes and several bowls of rice.

The young man suggested drinking, but Jiaren refused and rewarded him with a few copper coins.

The little guy Le Diandang went to the back, Zheng Wu used the excuse of a bad stomach, and followed him in search of a toilet...

Soon, the back kitchen served the dishes, and just as they were setting the table, Zheng Wu also came back, nodding with the masters.

The Li brothers moved their chopsticks. Lu Zong and Jia Xu saw it. Although they still felt that they were not so careful, they didn't say anything.

Everyone was eating and listening to the diners next to them.

It turned out that there was a dragon boat race on the Neihe River tonight.

The so-called inland river is the river channel built from the pier leading to the city.

A main river is very wide, with countless small waterways branching out, which are used by local people to travel on weekdays.

There are rivers outside the back door of many people's houses, and the boats are tied up, which is much more convenient than a carriage.

There are two wealthy merchants in the city. For some reason, they are fighting against each other. They agree that the dragon boat team from their family will compete, and whoever wins will win the prize.

Such excitement is naturally flocked to by everyone.

The Jiaren brothers were also tempted, and Lu Zong and Jia Xu were even more concerned about joining in the fun.

So, after eating, they went straight to the inner river, chose a location with the best view, and then booked two river-view rooms and two ordinary rooms nearby.

Brother Mao was thinking about the excitement of the night, so he said, "Brother, let's go buy something delicious, and watch while eating at night."

Jiaren rubbed his younger brother's hair, and agreed in one gulp.

The sun outside had just set to the west, and it was hard to come out once, so naturally I couldn't stay in the room until night.

So they packed up and went out again.

There was a big market not far away, and some hawkers were selling local specialties like fried squid rings and shrimp cakes, and everyone rushed over.

Fresh food is always the best.

Even though they had already finished their lunch, Jiaren and the others couldn't help but eat a lot around the stall.

Jiaren took out a silver bean from his belt, and was about to pay when Jia Xu pulled out the money bag, took a piece of silver and threw it to the stall owner, and packed a lot more.

When he turned around, he saw that the Li family brothers had a bad face, so he remembered what he had promised, and quickly stuffed the money bag back, "I'm sorry, I was too happy to eat for a while, so I forgot."

Jiaren and the others couldn't say anything, so Jiaren could only say: "Let Brother Jia spend the money."

Several people continued to stroll in the market, some people were performing arts and juggling, it was very lively.

Li Geer pulled Mao Maoer and was about to go there, but someone came out first and grabbed Jia Xu's gown by the hem.

Jia Xu was startled, and looked down, there was a woman in a white dress kneeling on the side of the road. She was sixteen or seventeen years old, with a haggard look, but she couldn't hide her good looks.

The big eyes were filled with tears, and they were about to cry, which aroused extreme pity.

Jia Xu was about to get angry, but he stopped his anger when he saw this, and asked, "Girl, why are you holding on to me?"

The girl let go of her hand, Yingying bowed her head and kowtowed, revealing the broken straw mat behind her.

Nothing can be seen on the head of the tube, but a pair of black feet leaked from the end...

Everyone was startled and took two steps back.

The girl also shed tears, choked up and said: "My lord, the little girl and her father took refuge with relatives and friends, and when they came here, they were stolen by the wicked.

"My father died of illness in a fit of anger. The little girl is really unable to bury her father, so she can only kneel here... sell herself to bury her father!"

After finishing speaking, she kowtowed again, tears soon wet the bluestone floor in front of her.

Jia Xu was a little at a loss. Before, the family was strictly controlled. He didn't even have a maid in his room, let alone a concubine.

Suddenly being pestered by such a beautiful young girl crying, I really don't know what to do.

He glanced at Lu Zong and the Li family brothers, seeing that they were silent, he could only bite the bullet and say: "Girl, we are passing by too... I wonder if there is anything I can do for you?"

The girl wiped away her tears, her eyelashes were wet, and she blinked slightly, the corners of her eyes and brows were faintly charming.

"The young master must not have brought too many people to serve him when he is away from home. As long as the young master gives the little girl ten taels of silver and buries her father, the little girl is willing to follow the young master and serve as a slave or handmaiden, whatever the young master arranges."

After that, she lowered her head shyly, revealing a white and greasy neck, dazzling in the sun.

Jia Xu subconsciously swallowed his saliva. He squeezed the pouch in his sleeve pocket and filled it with two or thirty taels of silver, which is not bad for the ten taels.

"Girl, I can give you ten taels of silver to bury your father, but I have no shortage of slaves. After you bury your father, you can continue to visit relatives..."

The woman didn't wait to finish listening, and cried again, "I know, I can't catch the young master's eyes with my willow appearance. You don't need to take me in, but please tell me where I live. Kowtow."

Jia Xu's forehead was covered with sweat.

The most difficult to accept the beauty of grace ah!

Hearing that the woman no longer entangled and followed, as long as she kowtowed to thank, he subconsciously wanted to tell the name of the inn.

In the end, Jiaren tugged on his sleeve and stopped him in time.

Lu Zong looked at it for a while, felt that something was wrong, and said, "This girl probably wants to bury her father and find another home, but we are passing by and can't help.

"Why don't we hurry up and let the girl wait for the next person who is destined?"

After all, he was about to drag Jia Xu away.

But at some point, seven or eight spectators surrounded them.

There are women with baskets in their arms, ferocious men, and even old men with gray beards, blocking their way out...

In the middle of the night, the epidemic broke out here in Huahua. From now on, the nucleic acid line will be lined up every day. The time is really out of control. Try to make sure that it is [-] o'clock. If you play for a while, you must understand. Wait for me to take it easy. Add more.Hug, okay!
