Chapter 72 Please Help Me

day was a temple fair and it rained heavily in the mountains, the mountain road became slippery and wet. As the saying goes, "Stay guests on rainy days," many incense-bearing visitors stayed at the te...During this period, although Fengqi City was the capital of the Nanyue Kingdom, house prices were not too high. After all, here, houses were used for living, not for appreciation. 。Qin Luoyan, under the shopkeeper's introduction, looked at several houses. They were all exquisite and grand courtyards, but the prices were not expensive. The most expensive courtyard was only worth a thousand taels of silver. 。This also made her, a soul from the modern era, sigh with emotion. In the capital city, houses could be bought at such cheap prices. Could it be that ancient times were more advanced than the present

Besides, in this place, class status was highly regarded, with those on top being officials, those in the middle being merchants, and those below being farmers. Therefore, anyone with a bit of knowledge who aspired to enter the officialdom through the imperial examinations looked down upon merchants. Even if one became an official, regardless of how wealthy they were, in the eyes of other officials, they were nothing special.

Qin Luo Yan sighed, since she had transmigrated into a woman, becoming an official was impossible. However, she was willing to give commerce and making money a try. Perhaps, because she was a soul from modern times at her core, she deeply believed that money was the best and most reliable thing in this world. 。As the sun began to set, Qin Luoyan finally chose a modest two-story courtyard. The courtyard wasn't large, with only a few rooms, but it was big enough for Qin Luoyan and Yisheng. The remaining rooms could also accommodate several workers to help them. 。The owner of the courtyard seemed to have just left the capital, so everything inside was still in place. The two of them made do and settled down for a night in the courtyard. The next morning, they went out early to buy all sorts of household items. 。Watching the workers move furniture piece by piece into the courtyard, Qin Luoyan, standing under the corridor, couldn't help but pinch her own face. It hurt, it wasn't a dream. 。She really left the palace, she really did. Now she can live a peaceful life with Yingsheng. 。Yisheng was also very happy, accompanying Qin Luoyan in the city every day to buy all sorts of things. After five days, he finally tidied up the small courtyard into the way she wanted it. 。 This morning, a matchmaker came to the courtyard with several teenage girls. Two days ago, Qin Luo'yan had asked the matchmaker to find workers, and she didn't expect that in just two days, the matchmaker would bring so many people over 。Looking at the seven or eight timid little girls standing before her, Qin Luoyan frowned slightly, then asked each of them to make a brief introduction. As she listened to their introductions, her frown deepened. 。

It turned out that all these girls were from villages near the suburbs. Most of them came from families with too many brothers and sisters, but they were also living in poverty. That's why their families wanted to sell them off, especially the little girl standing in the corner. She was thin and small, with bare feet. Even in winter, she only wore a single cotton coat. When the wind blew, her whole body trembled.

She let out a sigh and pointed to the little girl, "Keep her. I'll give the others two silver coins each so they can go back." 。"

It's not doing a good deed to pick and choose workers. She's not a saint, she naturally knows how to choose those who are physically fit and capable, but seeing a shivering child leave with disappointment on his face, she just couldn't bring herself to do it. " 。"Are you really going to choose her" The tooth-dealer was taken aback, silent for a long time. 。Qin Luoyan nodded and took out silver from her bosom, placing some in each person's hand. A tael of silver wasn't a small sum for these families; it was enough to buy them half a month's worth of food. Their faces were initially filled with disbelief, but then gave way to disappointment. 。It's a pity that they couldn't keep such a generous master. 。The old woman, having received the silver reward from Qin Luoyan, seemed to have some compassion. She persuaded further: "Madam, I see that the young lady is a good person. That girl is truly too frail, and her entire family died, supposedly of illness. If she also falls ill..." "If she stays, I will only find someone to treat her," Qin Luoyan interrupted. "It's best if she recovers, but if she can't survive, that is her fate."。"Qin Luoyan sighed and said to the tooth-seller, "Thank you for your kindness, I'll take her." 。The old woman had never met such a picky mistress before. At first, she thought this person might not know how to pick people. Hearing her say this, a few points of admiration appeared on her face: "Miss is a kind-hearted girl, the old woman wishes Miss well and good returns." 。"

Qin Luoyan politely replied. After the tooth-picker and the rest of the people left, she called the little girl in front of her. The little girl was still timid and immediately knelt down before Qin Luoyan

Stand up and speak, in my courtyard. From now on, you're not allowed to kneel. 。Qin Luo sighed deeply. Before, whether she was at the General's Mansion or the Prince of Wu Xuan's Mansion, she never had a place where she could call her own. She couldn't control, and couldn't accept, the fact that people were treated as commodities bought and sold into slavery, but she was powerless to change it. 。Now, even in this small corner of the world, she wants to preserve what she desires to keep. She must remind herself that she is a modern intellectual, even though her concepts and thoughts may be considered outlandish in this feudal society. However, she yearns to remember her original self, fearing that if she stays here too long, she might forget that she is no less worthy than anyone else. 。The little girl listened to her words, raised her head in surprise, but obediently stood up. 。"Do you have a name" Qin Luoyan asked. 。The little girl nodded and said, "Er Ya" 。Her voice was filled with a strong childish innocence. 。Qin Luoyan also reached out and touched her head, "Er Ya, from now on you'll work here with me. I'll pay you every month. When you want to leave someday, just let me know in advance." 。"Wages" Er Ya widened her eyes, "Didn't I sell myself to the miss" Qin Luo Yan smiled and shook her head, "I don't buy slaves, I only hire workers" 。She tore the deed of sale in her hand to pieces before Er Ya's eyes. 。Er Ya was so shocked that she couldn't speak. After a while, she suddenly burst into tears, but she still didn't say anything. She just knelt down in front of Qin Luo Yan and kowtowed several times fiercely. 。Qin Luoyan couldn't help but sigh again, she still found it difficult to accept this kind of social phenomenon. People here knelt down at every turn. "How could you forget what I just said Don't kneel to people casually in the future." 。"

E'r Ya wiped her tears hastily and immediately got up, "Mmm, whatever Miss says goes," 。“ Qin Luoyan shook her head. For ordinary people who had been completely enslaved by feudal thought, there was little she could do. Perhaps, in their eyes, her existence was the anomaly itself. ” 。She didn't expect Er Ya to understand her thoughts, she was just trying her best to live without regrets. 。If you think "Fu Zi Mo Qin Luo Yan" is good, please copy and paste the following URL to share with your QQ, WeChat or Weibo friends, thank you for your support! （：b/23/23838/）ally couldn't escape Xiao Fan and Wu Yi's notice, so the two of them each had a bowl of noodles sitting in the dining room, eating without even bothering to politely invite Yun Tianzhi to join them.Qi...
