Chapter 182 The inside story
About a moment later, Lin Mo learned the reason why the two girls Qingyu and Luying were avoiding him, and also knew why the popular ones were so scared of the madam Tian Peilan.
In fact, it would be better to say that the two girls Qingyu and Luying were avoiding Lin Mo. It would be better to say that the two girls were keeping a distance from Lin Mo. When the two girls explained this, Lin Mo was even more curious at the time.
The girl in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion kept a distance from men? What was the fuss? Lin Mo's thoughts at that time were surprisingly similar to Liu Ruoshui's initial thoughts.
I think Qingyu and Luying are playing hard to get.
After having his own guess, Lin Mo started asking questions, and Qingyu and Luying hesitated for a moment again, then slowly explained the reason.
It's not a tactic of hard to get, but a very simple reason.
Qingyu and Luying both met the men they liked, and the men they liked did not dislike their experiences and were willing to marry them, so the two women were unwilling to pick up customers again.
The two women also had enough money to redeem themselves, so they had to redeem themselves and then follow the man they liked, but the pony man Tian Peilan naturally had millions of unwillingness to do so.
It’s right to think about it. Qingyu and Luying are the popular girls in Xiangyun Pavilion today. They are the money tree of Xiangyun Pavilion. When raising the two girls, Tian Peilan also put in a lot of thoughts and efforts. How could he let the two girls go easily?
Listening to the story of the two women, Lin Mo guessed that if the two women want to successfully redeem themselves and leave, they must be at least thirty years old. Now they are only twenty-five or sixty years old. Tian Peilan naturally wants to keep them and continue to squeeze their value.
The reason why the two women Qingyu and Luying were so afraid of Tian Peilan and had to listen to Tian Peilan was because the contract of the two women was still in the hands of Tian Peilan.
What does Tian Peilan have the contract of Qingyu and Luying? This is what does it mean? It means that the two women are Tian Peilan's personal property, just like an item and a livestock.
Not even a human being.
According to the current laws of the Daqian Empire, even if Tian Peilan killed Qingyu and Luying's two women privately, they would not be imprisoned or punished. They only need to pay a certain amount of money.
After listening to the story of the two women, Lin Mo sighed. This may be the sorrow of this era and the world!
Identities like Qingyu and Luying, or servants in various mansions, cannot be said to be complete people at all. Their identity is equivalent to that of animals, and sometimes even worse than animals.
The masters of the servants in each mansion can punish and kill them at will. If they are beaten to death, the masters only need to pay the government a certain amount of money according to the laws and regulations, and this matter will be over.
Only when Qingyu and Luying redeem their own sales can they be considered as a real person, have relative freedom, and enjoy the bitterness and sorrow of being a human being.
After calming down his emotions, Lin Mo comforted Qingyu and Luying a few words and asked, "Two girls, I will ask you a risky question, how much money do you need to redeem yourself?"
"Ten golden leaves!"
Under Lin Mo's comfort, Qingyu took the lead in stabilizing his mind.
As Qingyu finished speaking, Green Ying looked dim and added: "But Qingyu and I have already arrived and have twenty golden leaves are released, so Mother Tian still doesn't want us to redeem us."
Listening to Lu Ying's words, Lin Mo thought for a moment and smiled bitterly: "Miss Qingyu, Miss Lu Ying, I'm sorry to say it bluntly. According to the situation of you two, without three thousand golden leaves, your mother Tian would not have left you."
"Three thousand golden leaves!" Qingyu and Luying suddenly exclaimed.
After a brief moment of stunnedness, Lin Mo nodded slowly.
The price of three thousand gold leaves is not something Lin Mo said nonsense. Now Qingyu and Luying are both twenty-six years old. And the popular ones can bring at least three hundred gold leaves to Tian Peilan a year.
If the maintenance is done properly, Qingyu and Luying's thirty-five-year-old appearance will gradually decline, and then Tian Peilan will let them go even if the value of the two women is squeezed out.
And even if Qingyu and Luying left at the age of 35, Tian Peilan would not only have the so-called twenty gold leaves, or even ten gold leaves, but at least a hundred gold leaves.
In other words, Qingyu and Luying have nine years left to allow Tian Peilan to extract value from them, so three thousand golden leaves in nine years are already considered to be Lin Mo's smaller estimate.
If Tian Peilan has a bigger appetite, at least five thousand golden leaves will be needed.
Seeing Lin Mo nodding slowly, Qingyu and Luying looked at each other, and the two women's hearts suddenly became cold, and sadness suddenly arose from their hearts, with gloomy and loss in their eyes.
Wrapped in layers of darkness, Luying suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Mo, saying unwillingly: "But why, why, eighteen years ago, when Tian Peilan bought me and Qingyu, she only spent two gold leaves in total, and on the contract between me and Qingyu, I also wrote ten gold leaves to redeem myself."
Eighteen years ago, a major flood occurred in Jiangzhou. For a time, countless people were killed and injured and starved. Qingyu and Luying, who were only eight years old at the time, were sold to Tian Peilan by their parents and entered the Xiangyun Pavilion.
Listening to Luying's stubborn words and looking at Luying's sad appearance with tears, Lin Mo also smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Miss Luying, the account is not settled like this, and the words are not said like you. I think you should also know that selling contracts requires both parties to voluntarily to achieve their benefits."
Qingyu and Luying looked at Lin Mo together, and Liu Ruoshui, who was a little depressed, also looked at Lin Mo. He didn't know what Lin Mo said, and asked, "Sir, what does it mean to have both parties voluntarily to achieve their benefits?"
A few months ago, Liu Ruoshui was like Qingyu and Luying, not even a person in the complete sense. It was not until Liu Ruoshui followed Lin Mo and the relationship changed subtlely that Lin Mo tore off the document of Liu Ruoshui selling herself as a slave. Therefore, Liu Ruoshui felt more or less about the current experience of Qingyu and Luying!
Seeing that Liu Ruoshui also asked, Lin Mo hurriedly explained to the three girls in a blunt way.
"In fact, it's easy to understand. The signing of the contract for sale is made by both the buyer and the seller, that is, your parents and Tian Peilan signed it under the voluntary conditions. The party who was sold afterwards must also agree voluntarily."
As he said that, Lin Mo looked at Qingyu and Luying and said, "For example, Qingyu and Luying, you want to redeem your contract for your own sale now. You have to ask your mother Tian to agree voluntarily, otherwise everything will be free of negotiation."
"How could that Tian Peilan agree voluntarily? This is impossible!" As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, Liu Ruoshui pointed out the biggest question here "ruthlessly".
Lin Mo nodded slowly, "Yes, this is impossible!"
After saying that, Lin Mo looked at Qingyu and Luying, whose expressions became increasingly sharp, and said, "Miss Qingyu, Miss Luying, you now understand that the ten gold leaves written on the contract for selling are actually useless."
Lin Mo still knows the obscure ways in the Qin Tower and Chu Pavilion like Xiangyun Pavilion.
What, how did Lin Mo know?
Of course, that's because of Tang Yunu!
You should know that Tang Yunu is the biggest business madam in Zhongzhou, and he has countless guitars and popular top brands. He naturally knows the secrets here clearly.
Lin Mo's last sentence was like a steel needle inserted into Qingyu and Luying's hearts, piercing the two women's hearts bloody. The two women could no longer control their sadness and sobbed.
Listening to the heartbroken sobs and sobs of the two girls, Lin Mo ignored it and looked quite cold, but Liu Ruoshui frowned, and his face was filled with pain for Qingyu and Luying.
Suddenly, Liu Ruoshui's little head turned, first glanced at Lin Mo with a smile, then said to Qingyu and Luying, "Two sisters, don't worry about crying first, I have a good idea. I'll ask the two sisters one thing, two sisters, how much money do you have in your hands?"
When Lin Mo heard that Liu Ruoshui had a solution and looked at him with bad intentions before that, Lin Mo was inexplicably shocked and felt that something was wrong, but Qingyu and Luying were immediately delighted and slowly stopped sobbing and sobbing.
He wiped his wet eyes with a handkerchief, thought for a moment, and said Qingyu: "Luying and I each have something worth nearly fifty golden leaves, but it is far from enough that the three thousand golden leaves that Mr. Lin said!"
"It's not a problem if there is not enough money!" Liu Ruoshui shook his head indifferently.
Immediately, in front of the puzzled Qingyu and Luying face, Liu Ruoshui looked at Lin Mo with an innocent smile on his face, and showed a mouthful of white teeth, and his jade lips were lightly opened and he was about to speak.
"Slowly, Ruoshui, I understand everything you mean, I really understand!" Lin Mo's heart trembled, and he hurriedly stretched out a hand, indicating that Liu Ruoshui would not say it, so as not to die of pain.
Seeing Liu Ruoshui smiled with satisfaction, Lin Mo said to Qingyu and Luying: "Miss Qingyu, Miss Luying, I can help you, but before, I have two or three questions to ask you, so please answer this way."
Qingyu hurriedly said, "Young Master, may you ask!"
With the experience he has cultivated over the years, Qingyu and Luying know that the young master Lin in front of him is very not simple. Not to mention anything else, just his luxurious clothes and dressing can tell that his family is full of money.
Just look at the hairpin on Mr. Lin's head with a hairpin with a hairpin. Although it looks simple and simple, Qingyu and Luying, who are knowledgeable, know that it was an antique from the Martial Emperor of the previous dynasty and is of great value.
The period of Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty was more than 500 years ago, but the patterns on the hairpin were still preserved so clearly that it is probably worth a thousand gold leaves.
The brocade robes and accessories on her body are also precious things of unknown value, which made Qingyu and Luying know that five or six thousand golden leaves were just a small number for this young master Lin.
Thinking of this, this made Qingyu and Luying's hearts suddenly feel a hint of hope that they can escape from this sea of suffering.
Looking at the light of hope that appeared in Qingyu and Luying's eyes, Lin Mo's face turned tight and said lightly: "Miss Qingyu, Luying, let's not hide it from you, these six thousand golden leaves are indeed not too many for me, but not too few."
Speaking of this, Lin Mo deliberately paused, looked at Qingyu and Luying calmly, and said, "I wonder what good will this money I spent on you two for this not-so-small amount of money," he said.
