"Miss Yan, your body is inconvenient, so take a good rest. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info No work. ”

When I woke up the next morning, I saw seven or eight women working outside, sweeping the floor, sprinkling water, picking vegetables, and washing clothes. There are also sewing and mending, and doing needlework. Yan Qianyan didn't have the habit of sleeping lazy, so she hastily combed her hair, washed her face, and joined in.

She couldn't do needlework, she couldn't bend down to wash clothes, so she simply picked up a broom and swept the yard. Shiyun hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the broom with a smile and pushed her into the house. 、

The seven or eight women who had been working were staring at her. They all saw that she had a big belly.

"Yes, Miss Yan, it's been five or six months since you had your belly. Go and rest, there is no work to do these days, rest. A woman giving birth to a child is a big deal, and she can't work hard. ”

A woman in the same clothes as Shiyun, that is, in her early twenties, also accompanied by a smiling face. It's supposed to be a female official.

The two female officials reminded her of the word discipline, female discipline.

She subconsciously reached out and touched her belly, which was a little prominent, but not very big. In fact, it was less than five months, but because the clothes I wore were too wide and did not fit, it was just a little pretentious.

The two female officials were so considerate and caring, which made Yan Qianyan feel very embarrassed. She really didn't feel that she had reached the time when she needed to focus on protection, she thought that since she came, she had to abide by the rules here, and she couldn't be special. Isn't it that the shelter is similar to the nature of the shelter, that is, it is taken in here for temporary residence. You can live, you can eat and wear, but you have to work. Doing some sewing, repairing, washing, washing, or manual work such as embroidery and weaving, in fact, is to work by yourself to support yourself, and by the way, earn some extra money for the yamen.

Of course, everybody does the work. It's still okay to do some work when you're five months pregnant.

"Thank you, Sister Shiyun. Thank you for this sister. I can still work. Out of the way. ”

"Then what's the matter, our county lord is the most benevolent, if he knows that we let us work with a big belly, he will deduct our silver. And our county lady eats fasting and recites Buddha, and she is the most kind-hearted, and she will never allow a woman with a big belly to work. ”

"yes, let's go and rest. The meal will be served to you in a moment. ”

The difference between the two female officials is more polite than the other, and the other is more flattering than the other.

Yan Tianyan knew that it was the role of the Flying Ink Boy, so he no longer insisted, and entered the house after thanking him.

From the window, I saw that the seven or eight women outside were all squinting, with unwilling but helpless expressions. The seven or eight women ranged in age, from thirty or forty years old to teens. The youngest looked to be about ten years old. I don't know how to get here.

Seeing Shiyun gather them together, and they didn't know what to say, their expressions were relieved, and then they showed surprise. The eyes also look over from time to time.

She guessed that it should be something that the Flying Ink Boy had promised. Or say something.

It's not hard to imagine that she is only living here temporarily, and if they take good care of it, she will get some reward, or promise something.

She touched the silver ticket gold and silver in her arms, and thought about it. Now that Mo Tong Feixuan has already taken care of it, he doesn't have to hide it, no matter how many days he lives here, he should bribe these people to be stable.

Now there is not much else in Mufu, just a lot of money.

She gently pushed open the window and called, "Two sisters, please come in." ”

The two female officers walked in one after the other with a smile. Seeing her standing in front of the window, Shiyun squinted her eyes and said with a smile, "Miss Yan, is there anything we need to do?" Just say it. ”

The younger ones followed: "Yes, yes, just say what you need, and just say what you want to eat." As long as we can help, we will do our best. ”

The two female officers spoke politely, and they all spoke in a flattering tone.

She was embarrassed to make a fuss, she had come here to take refuge, but she was treated as a distinguished guest.

Seems very inappropriate. Gotta hurry up and say yes.

She quickly glanced outside, took out a silver ticket from under her robe, and handed it to Shiyun: "Sister Shiyun, you are so good to me, I have nothing else, this is two hundred taels of silver, you can exchange it." Give each of them five taels, and the rest of you two will pull a new piece of clothing, and buy some clothes for the elderly and children at home. , it's a little bit of my heart, and I want you to take care of it in the future. ”

The shot was so generous that Shiyun's eyes were straight. The two of them are on an errand in the mansion, and they are majestic, but they don't have much, only two taels of silver, which is not as good as the current big girl in Mu Mansion. Two hundred taels is an astronomical amount for them.

And the seven or eight people outside, working for a year, can't earn two taels of silver except for food and clothing. They were told by their boss to take care of Yan Qianyan, and they were a little stuffed by the flying spin, and they already felt that Yan Qianyan's identity was not ordinary, and now they felt that they had met nobles and made a fortune.

Shiyun smiled and took the silver ticket, thanked Yan and walked out.

For the silver given by Yan Tanyan, she took it very calmly. Because although this residence is directly under the yamen, they are responsible for their own profits and losses, take jobs to support themselves, and have to pay a certain amount of income to the government office. According to modern terms, Shiyun took several female officials to contract this settlement, responsible for managing homeless women of all ages, taking care of their food and drink, and letting them do some work that women can do, such as needlework, pickles, laundry, etc., and also help them find suitable families and marry them out.

Because of the low cost of the work they contracted, they did a good job, and the business was very good. But these days, most people are asked to help out in large households. This is also a kind of income for them, and every time they come to the holidays, they will be asked to help by some families who are well-off and have insufficient manpower. So there are only seven or eight old and young left, and there are still sick people.

Shiyun went out, and the younger one called Baozhu was more respectful to her.

Seeing that she was still standing, Mei smiled and reached out to help: "Miss Yan, sit down, be careful to stand for a long time, your legs are swollen and your feet are swollen, Miss Yan, this is the first child." When I gave birth to the eldest of my family, my feet were swollen after standing for a while, and I couldn't get rid of them. ”

Yan Tianyan sat down on the bed: "The second child, the eldest is a son." ”

Baozhu immediately showed a look of surprise: "Miss Yan is so young, she has a second child?" The eldest is not even two years old, right? ”

Her surprise was not too much at all, although Yan Tianyan was already twenty-five or sixteen years old, she was born petite and exquisite. The face is especially small, because she has been insisting on maintenance and exercise, and her complexion is very good, of course, she has washed her face now. With a big belly, there are no pregnancy spots or anything, but it is more delicate and smooth, and it looks like he is seventeen or eighteen years old.

Yan Tianyan lowered his head and smiled: "The big ones are four years old, but they are skinny." Miss Baozhu is really good at complimenting, I am twenty-six years old this year, which is considered a late marriage. Children my age are 10 years old. ”

Baozhu was even more speechless in surprise.

I heard a thick voice at the door: "Baozhu, your work is here, it is some old clothes from Master Cheng's house, and it is said that it is to be sewn and repaired." ”

The voice was a little familiar, and Yan looked at it.
