Jiang Pengji was surprised, raised her hand to help the woman, and said with a smile, "This is not a place to talk, it is better to sit in the restaurant on the side of the road." ”

Judging from the various traces of the woman's appearance, her life is a little difficult, and she only eats one meal a day on weekdays.

The baby next to her is very well-raised, white and cute, and even the clothes on her body are all fine cotton.

Fine cotton is not expensive, but it is already a large expense for a farmer with an average family background.

The woman hesitated, then smiled again, and followed Jiang Pengji to the nearby Zhikezhai with the urchin in her arms.

Zhikezhai has opened all over the large and small towns in Maruzhou, and its reputation is getting better day by day, and the dishes researched by Kuzi are also being renovated day by day.

Although it is aimed at mid-to-high-end diners, ordinary people grit their teeth and occasionally eat a meal.

The woman followed Jiang Pengji to the private room, she and the old housekeeper were frugal and raised the little master, but they never came to Zhikezhai.

"Eat as much as you want, kid...... If I remember correctly, wasn't it the one who was protected by my biological mother?"

Shangjing moved, how many people did Jiang Pengji rescue?

Nowadays, a large part of the people of Xiangyang County fled here from Shangjing with her.

When the woman heard this, she nodded tearfully, her eyes were bloodshot, but her expression was not wronged, but she was so excited that she couldn't suppress it.

She always remembers Jiang Pengji, but she is a busy person, how can she remember her?

I reminded me just now, but I didn't hold out hope, but I didn't expect the other party to say it right.

"It's the little master of the slave family. ”

The woman nodded excitedly, and the white fat child in her arms twisted suspiciously, looking at Jiang Pengji and then at the woman holding her.

He didn't understand what was happening, so he could only step on the woman's kneeling lap and tiptoe to try to wipe her tears with his fat white paws.

"How have these years been?"

Jiang Pengji looked at the child and dug out the relevant fragments from her memory.

She remembered that when she rescued the child from the rubble, she was protected by a woman with a curled back.

If it weren't for the woman's protection, protruding her spine, arching a gap with her head, arms and chest, I am afraid that she would have died early.

The woman showed a pure smile, "Thanks to the good governance of the state pastor, the slave family can survive in this world with their masters." ”

For quite a year, there were twenty people in the house, and after a land movement, only three survived.

A nurse, a housekeeper, and a child who was only two months old.

The world outside is too chaotic, and the three of them are all old and weak women and children, so they have no way to take refuge with their relatives, so they can only follow Jiang Pengji to Xiangyang County.

The old housekeeper did the work for the people, and she made sweaters or embroidered some patterns at home to sell, saving money on weekdays, except for a small amount of rent and rent handed over to the county government, the remaining money was enough for them to live. Both of them were loyal servants, and would rather be tired and miserable than wronged the child, so that the child was the only one of the three who wore a garment of fine cotton.

Jiang Pengji said, "Are you the nurse? If I remember correctly, there was an old man who survived." ”

The woman said, "The state pastor has a good memory, and that is the dowry housekeeper of the slave lady." ”

Jiang Pengji said to the child, "Come here." ”

That kid is very weak-hearted, he just hit someone, where does he dare to take the initiative to approach now?

The woman encouraged him, and he hesitated to run to Jiang Pengji.

Jiang Pengji held people upside down, a two-year-old child, the weight is not light.

"I remember that the child's main family seems to be extraordinary, and I haven't thought of taking the child to find relatives for so many years?"

Before the land movement, the place in Beijing was expensive, and it was either rich or expensive to be able to buy real estate there.

It stands to reason that the parents of this child are not ordinary people.

The woman said, "The slave family has long had this plan, but there were wars everywhere before, and the slave family and the housekeeper did not dare to take the risk with the little master, so it has been delayed until now." I plan to save enough money for the road in a few years, so as not to delay the enlightenment of the little master. ”

In the whole of Dongqing, what other place is safer than Maruzhou?

The lion is entrenched, heavily guarded, and the state herdsman loves the people like a son, and governs the entire Maruzhou in an orderly manner.

Out of the border of Maruzhou, there are either wars or various famines, how can she and the old housekeeper keep the little master?

Jiang Pengji hugged the child and gave him some food.

"What is the origin of this child? Since I saved him, I met him on the street today, so it can be seen that there is fate. If I can help, I can send someone to bring a message to the child's relatives so that they can take the child back early. Look at you, it's not been easy these years. ”

The woman's eyes were red again, and she kowtowed, "Thank you for the state pastor, if there is an afterlife, the slave family will be tied with grass and knots to repay kindness." ”

Wiping away her tears, the woman continued, "The master of the slave family is the Chongzhou Cui family. ”

"Chongzhou Cui's?"

Jiang Pengji is holding the child in one hand and lighting the food table with the other, which is really a coincidence.

Chongzhou is the territory of his father Liu She, as for this Cui family, Jiang Pengji has vaguely heard the rumors of the other party.

The Cui family has lived in Chongzhou for a long time and belongs to the head snake, but they are not a serious high-ranking family, they have a background but are also looked down upon.

The reason for this is simply because Cui's relationship with Northern Xinjiang is quite close.

People are doing business in the two places, and there is even some smell of grass on the wall, where the wind blows, and where people fall.

Jiang Pengji corresponded with Liu She, and the other party's evaluation of Cui's was not high.

Even say that they are full of copper coins, how can any literati be half high?

Preliminarily, this Cui clan is on par with Qian Xiangquan, no wonder Liu She treats their senses so badly.

The woman nodded violently, and she said, "Mrs. Nu is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Cui family's big house. ”

Chongzhou borders northern Xinjiang and has always been a place of constant contradictions, even if the Cui clan and northern Xinjiang are friendly, but they can't stand the rampant horse bandits.

Cui's let his eldest daughter-in-law go to Beijing to give birth, where did he know that he would encounter a rare extraordinary earthquake in hundreds of years!

Jiang Pengji's heart turned.

"My father is a Chongzhou pastor, which is a coincidence. I'll write a letter to my father and ask the Cui family to send someone to pick you up. ”

It is difficult for a woman, but for Jiang Pengji, it is just a gesture.

After hearing this, the woman excitedly kowtowed to Jiang Pengji a few times, almost incoherently.

Jiang Pengji looked at the child and smiled meaningfully.

She asked where the woman and the child lived, and accompanied the two of them to dinner, and then returned to the county government in the cool moonlight.

She said to the people beside her, "Wen Zheng, Zishi and Zixiao called me and said that I have something important to discuss with them." ”

The others are not in Xiangyang County at this time, and Jiang Pengji can only call the three think tanks over first.

Jiang Pengji waited for a while, and Qi Guanrang, Feng Zhen and Wei Ci arrived one after another.

The three of them looked at each other, not knowing why Jiang Pengji had summoned the three of them alone.

"I want to attack the northern frontier. ”
