Chapter 543 Yongzhou 2 Kong Sheng smiled, how could he bargain with a rough man, and, in his opinion, people are priceless lives, not to mention three times of money, that is, three hundred times, three thousand times, as long as he can take it, he will not have any hesitation to redeem this Hui woman.
Kong Sheng turned around and handed over the next trading link to Wuxian and Wuxie, while he himself continued to walk through the crowded crowd and around the south of the city, and there was nothing else to do, just to hang out and see the customs of Yongzhou.
After a quiet alley, flanked by earthen walls, on one side of which there was an ordinary courtyard, the houses were crooked, the red walls and green tiles had long been dilapidated, and it was obvious that it was a poor family.
Kong Sheng walked past the mansion, glanced at the airy gate at any time, and saw an old lady sitting on the cold ground in the courtyard, as if cutting her nails.
The brilliant sunlight cast down, gilding the old lady's body with a thin layer of golden light, and although she was ragged, it gave people a sense of tranquility and peace.
The old lady stretched her fingers one by one in the sunlight, leaned closer, and trimmed slowly with small scissors, the movements were leisurely and quiet.
After pruning, she put her fingers into her mouth one by one, sucked slowly, and then pulled them out of her mouth, looked at them slightly, and continued to trim until she was satisfied.
Kong Sheng stood in place, looking at this poor family, the old lady who was slowly cutting her nails, and felt a little emotional: What a carefree and leisurely old man, the poor life has not worn out her love for life, this is a dull passion.
There was a faint tranquility in the courtyard of this house, Kong Sheng hesitated for a moment, wanting to go in to see the old lady, but he was a little hesitant, unwilling to rush in and break the tranquility.
The old lady in the courtyard was trimming her nails while humming a small song in the Yongzhou dialect, what she sang, Kong Sheng couldn't understand a word, but she could perceive her happiness and satisfaction from her serene tune, and of course there was a faint sadness.
The old lady sighed suddenly, stopped pruning, and the little song in her mouth came to an abrupt end.
Some kind of invisible sorrow appeared on the old man's old and wrinkled face, and in her eyes, there was probably no second person in Yongzhou City who was more miserable than her.
Since middle age, she has been deaf in her ears because of the excessive grief of her husband's death.
She was poor all her life, especially when she was a husband.
The problem now is that her three sons have been conscripted by the imperial court and have gone to the frontline battlefield far away in Henan, and their lives are unknown.
The old man didn't know what kind of place Luoyang was and how prosperous it was.
The so-called grand occasion of the Eastern Capital of the Tang Dynasty is something that she can't imagine with all her knowledge, after all, she has never left Yongzhou City in her life.
But that day, she saw a group of troops marching north.
She stood outside the city, looking at the army that could not be seen as far as the eye could see, marching north with the banner, she wondered if her three sons were all in this army, she looked forward to seeing her son, but after waiting for a whole day, this army disappeared from her vision, and she did not see her son.
When she returned home, she didn't want to do anything, and she never felt uneasy, but she finally felt lonely and indifferent.
After cutting his fingernails, the old man stood up suddenly, and the question that had been pestering her yesterday suddenly came to mind, and it came to her strongly: Did the three sons have died on the battlefield in Henan, I heard that the battlefield is full of dead and living corpses, and whether his son fell to death in some strange place The old man suddenly felt that the brilliant sunlight suddenly became a sharp curtain, and was stabbing at her from all directions, making her frightened and breathless.
The old man screamed, threw the scissors at his feet, and ran back into the house.
Kong Sheng was taken aback.
When he saw the old lady enter the house, he hesitated to follow in.
He knocked on the door for a long time, but received no response.
I simply pushed the door in, and the old man's house was really surrounded by four walls, except for a bed, a water tank, and nothing else.
The old lady sat on the bed, staring at the golden light shining through the window.
Kong Sheng called, but the old lady did not respond, he realized that the old man seemed to be deaf, so he sat on the bed, almost next to the old lady, the old man's face changed suddenly, and he exclaimed.
Kong Sheng gestured for a long time and appeased him for a long time before the old lady recognized that he was not a bad person.
Because the old man was deaf, he couldn't communicate at all, and in the end, Kong Sheng still sighed, leaving a piece of gold leaf that he carried with him and quietly left.
He didn't leave too much money for the old man, because it would probably be a curse or a blessing for the old man.
But Kong Sheng decided to go back to say hello to Chen Qian, the assassin of Yongzhou, and take the old man to the Chang'an Marquis Mansion in the future, and he will provide for him until his old age.
The encounter with the poor old man in Yongzhou City made Kong Sheng's mood a little sad.
If it is the national strength of the country that is damaged by the war, then it is the common people who suffer the most.
Therefore, for the common people, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor, life is the most important thing.
It doesn't matter if you are rich or poor, as long as you can be safe, you can stay together as a family and enjoy the joy of family.
Returning to the backyard of the Yongzhou Thorn Mansion, Wu Xian Wujie was waiting for him with the Hui woman who had come back from redemption.
This woman took a bath, changed into a coarse cloth shirt, her figure was slender, and she looked delicate and lovely, but her facial features and complexion and hair color made people see at a glance that she was not from the Central Plains, but a typical Hui.
At this moment, Wu Xianwu had already interrogated the origin of this woman.
Her name is Gu Duo, a Hui man, after the death of her parents, she was taken to the Central Plains by the Hui merchants, but the merchant lost money in business, stranded in Yongzhou, and sold her to the strong man in order to pay off the debt.
Of course, this is just her own statement, and there is no way to verify whether it is true or not.
Wu Xianwu was a little puzzled, what was Kong Sheng's intention to buy such a Hui woman, could it be that the general was lonely because Nie Chuchen left, and seeing that this woman had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, he wanted her to wait Otherwise, how would Kong Sheng place this woman.
Although there are many palace maids around Princess Ningguo, it is not appropriate for such a Hui woman with an unclear origin to be arranged for the princess, in case of problems, the consequences will be unimaginable.
In fact, Kong Sheng didn't think too much about it at all.
At that time, he was just pitiful to see the bones, so he temporarily decided to redeem himself and come back, but he didn't think about how to settle it.

Kong Sheng slowly walked to Gu Duo, this time the girl lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, standing there and not daring to say anything.
"What's your name, can you understand Chinese," Kong Sheng asked lightly.
Gu Duo said quietly, it was a slightly stiff Tang Dynasty official dialect: "The slave is called Gu Duo, Hui people, I have been doing business in the Central Plains with my master for two or three years, and the slave and maid have thanked Lord Xie for saving his life."
Gu Duo fell to the ground with tears and tears.
Kong Sheng motioned for Wu Xian to help her up, and said gently: "Don't be afraid, since I have redeemed my life for you, you will no longer be in danger."
However, the official came to ask you, do you have a place to go, you are now free, you can come and go freely. ” Gu Duo was stunned, she was adopted by the Hui merchants since her parents died five years ago, followed the merchants to go around as slaves, and later lived in Yongzhou City, where to go back to the Hui tribe, thousands of miles away, how can she be a lone woman, and even if she goes back, she has no relatives, who to take refuge in She was so sad when she thought of this, she couldn't stand on the ground, choked up and begged Kong Sheng to take her in, and was willing to stay by Kong Sheng's side as a slave.
Kong Sheng smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said: "Since you have nowhere to go, then, this official is a good person to do home, it just so happens that this official wants to send an envoy to return to Hui, so I will take you back to Huifu by the way, if you still have relatives in Huibei, you can hurry up and go to your relatives after you arrive in Mobei." ” After speaking, Kong Sheng glanced at the bones that had become crying, went straight to his own house, and went back to his house.
He was still immersed in the scene of meeting the deaf old man today, his heart was agitated, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. oshow7 t1706231537:
