Chapter 84 Confirmed Eyes
When time went back, Hu Saner stretched out a hand and said, "The price starts at five jin!"
"Ten Guan!" Mr. Cui shouted the first offer.
Li Mu looked over and asked Wang Hu next to him, saying, "What is this guy's origin? Why do you bid when you meet a woman?"
Wang Hu lowered his voice and said, "This man is Cui Yuyan. He was from the Cui family of Boling. He came to Chang'an for the imperial examination two years ago, but he never passed the exam. The Cui family has great achievements and his uncle is also an official in the court. He has never returned to his hometown and stayed in Chang'an to be an opportunity to be a filial and honest man. He is a mediocre person, but he is very lustful and often comes to look for new maids. I come to Xishi to see him almost every time. This man is not upright and bought a maid to play with him. I heard that he likes to treat his friends with maids, and his reputation is very bad. But due to the reputation of Cui family of Boling, few people dare to talk about him behind his back."
Li Mu glanced at the girl on the high platform and asked again: "This auction method is different. Could this maid be without clothes, right?"
Li Mu just said casually, but Wang Hu really nodded and said, "I have seen such an auction once before. Apart from that roll of cloth, it is really not easy to get into trouble. Human traffickers pull off the cloth strips at will, which can also inspire the enthusiasm of buyers. Sometimes, buyers deliberately do not bid for the sake of watching the show. I heard that once, the cloth on a maid was torn off and had not yet been sold, and they were embarrassed and angry and hit the pillar."
"Tsk..." Li Mu was stuttering, feeling sad. But he didn't want to make a offer because it was too expensive and his time to speak had already reached thirty cents. He just wanted to buy a maid to serve Bai Qiaoqiao, and a maid to work, unless he was crazy.
At this time, Hu Saner was already introducing the second benefit of the girl. Li Mu was very suspicious when he heard this. What are the spring water jade pots, jade bones and ice skins? The goat beard said that she was a virgin, and the other side talked about these things. Wouldn't it be contradictory to each other? No one tried it, how did he know?
Although she thought so in her heart, Li Mu was also a man after all. After hearing such sexy words, she couldn't help but look at the girl on the platform, wanting to see something from her and whether it could confirm what Hu Saner said.
Just as Li Mu looked over, the girl who had been tilting her head suddenly looked over. Her eyes met, Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and somehow she trembled in her heart, and a feeling of guilt inexplicably. A voice in her mind was questioning: Li Mu, can you watch a person being sold around like a livestock so calmly? Where did your conscience go? Are you a person from a later generation? In order to integrate into the Tang Dynasty, even your original conscience has to be erased?
Li Mu shook his head and wanted to drive out this idea. At the same time, he didn't dare to look at the girl's eyes anymore. He moved his gaze and happened to see Cui Yuyan who was shouting with red eyes and said, "Hu Saner, I'm thirty, thirty, a lot. Give me a face and I'll get you favors."
Li Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If the girl fell into the hands of the hungry ghost in this sex, the outcome would be predictable. The price was thirty cents, and this guy had already aroused anger in his heart. This anger must be vented on the girl. It seems that it is inevitable to ravage. Li Mu glanced at the girl with his eyes and found that she was still looking at him. His eyes did not blink. Li Mu was confused and looked around. The girl was indeed looking at him. There were so many people in the field, why was she just staring at me?
Although the girl did not speak, she had clearly conveyed the meaning she wanted to express through her big, watery eyes. Thousands of words gathered into one sentence, as if it was ringing in her ears.
"Save me..."
Li Mu closed his eyes, but he seemed to be able to see the girl's eyes, and the eyes became clearer in his mind.
"I took out all the deposits and asked this woman forty-five stakes. I'll send you money right away. Hu Saner, will you sell it?"
Cui Yuyan's hysterical voice came from his ears, and Li Mu's heart suddenly raised. Just as Hu Saner picked up the piece of paper he wrote the price and was about to announce it, Li Mu finally couldn't bear it anymore. He thought I would just shout the price once, and if I could save it, don't blame me if I can't save it, I want to be at ease!
"Fifty taels!"
Li Mu raised the wooden sign!
Hu Saner's mouth was already open and was about to announce it. Suddenly, she heard a 50-ton offer. She immediately threw away the idea of offending Cui Yuyan just now and looked at Li Mu and said, "This No. 32 uncle has paid a 50-ton price. Fifty-ton, everyone, how many days have you not paid such a high price? I'm so generous!" As he said that, he looked at Cui Yuyan again and sobbed: "Mr. Cui, I can't help it. This No. 32 uncle has bid 50-ton price, which is 50-ton price higher than you. If you want it, you have to increase the price!"
Cui Yuyan had lost his mind and shouted when he heard this: "I'll go..." Before he could say anything, the servant behind him covered his mouth. Cui Yuyan glared at him, and the servant hurriedly said: "Young Master, calm down and think about it carefully. If you buy a maid with fifty taels, this matter would be heard in the master's ears..."
Cui Yuyan heard the servant mention the word "Master", and his expression returned to a hint of clarity. After a while, he finally calmed down, broke free from the servant's hand, and looked at Li Mu and said, "Today, I will admit defeat. Cui Yuyan, Cui, a Cui family in the Boling, is so generous, but he is very impressed. I don't know where he comes from and where his mansion is. I will ask for advice in the future."
Li Mu smiled slightly and did not speak. Wang Hu said, "You don't deserve to know the name of my young master."
Cui Yuyan was even more angry when he heard this. He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth to hold back, saying, "Young Master, are you too arrogant. What a tall party, does the Cui family of Boling not take it seriously?"
Wang Hu was about to reply, but Li Mu waved his hand to stop him and said, "I naturally take the Boling Cui family seriously, but you don't seem to represent the Boling Cui family. The hero does not ask the source, and meets by chance. I don't want to be friends with you, why do you want to tell your name? Do you want this maid? If you want it, bid, give up if you don't want it. I still have something to do and don't have time to chat here."
After being ignored twice and three times, Cui Yuyan's teeth were almost broken. He wanted to spend a lot of money to humiliate Li Mu, but he knew that if he really did this, he would not be able to stay in Chang'an and would be sent back to his hometown immediately. His position would be replaced by other brothers in the clan and he would no longer have the chance to become an official in the court. The two weighed the pros and cons, Cui Yuyan still tolerated it and said, "Yuyan has recorded what happened today. When we meet again in the future, we will be rewarded."
After saying that, he turned around and left. The servant who came with him followed with the triplets he bought and ran away in panic amid the laughter of everyone.
Hu Saner was slightly disappointed when he saw Cui Yuyan leaving. He wanted Cui Yuyan to raise another one and sell it at a sky-high price, but now it seems that there is no hope. Hu Saner made the price he wrote to the public and then announced that Li Mu would finally be auctioned.
Li Mu only had a dozen taels of silver in his purse. Although he could exchange money from the system at any time, this was too shocking. After all, fifty taels were too much, so it was impossible to carry it with him. Even if there were fifty taels of silver, he still couldn't take it. Li Mu first gave fifteen taels of silver. Hu Saner sent a clerk to go back to his house to get the remaining money. He was not worried that Li Mu would be dependent on the debt. In the Chang'an realm, the debt of buying slaves could not be dependent on it.
