Ouch, mother, there is still silver in this dumpling! I bit out the silver! Hu Sheng's eyes lit up, and he shouted twice in a row, and then said in great surprise,

"The auspicious dumplings of rich people's families turned out to be really wrapped in silver, not copper plates."

"This, this silver will be returned to Madame." Hu Shengniang said.

"Uh-huh." Hu Sheng nodded, wiped the broken silver and put it away, and then he felt sorry for the dumplings that he wasted.

"Mother! These dumplings are still a little cold, you wait, I'll go boil some porridge, heat these dumplings again, and you can eat them later. ”

Hu Sheng closed the lid of the food box and said excitedly.

With his things in hand, he was going to the kitchen.

"Ahem, you wait." Hu Shengniang hurriedly stopped her son, "Xiaosheng, why did Madame give you so many things?" ”

"Mother, I told my wife that I was going to sell myself as a slave, and my wife agreed, saying that these were my money for selling my body, and that my wife was really good, I didn't give us silver, but gave us clothes and food."

Hu Sheng said happily.

Hu Shengniang heard that he had sold himself, and her heart hurt, but after thinking about it, Ye Qingyu is a kind-hearted master, and his son is on an errand in Xu Mansion, which is also a way to live, which is better than either starving to death or freezing to death now.

Hu Sheng didn't pay attention to what his mother was thinking, he went to the kitchen in a hurry, added water and rice, and then made a fire to boil porridge.

When the fire was burned, he looked at the bottom of the food box and saw that there were almost whole chickens and all kinds of meat dishes, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva vigorously, wanting to swallow them all.

Ye Qingyu knew this, so before leaving, he told him not to eat too much at one time.

Fortunately, Hu Sheng is an obedient person, even if he is hungry and drools all the time, he will eat three or four pieces of meat and dare not eat it again.

-

On the other side, Ye Qingyu and the others took the carriage back, and compared to when they came, the carriage was not so fast.

Originally, there was still some noise in the village, but now the village is silent, and everyone has basically gone to sleep after the New Year.

Ye Qingyu opened the curtain and looked outside, and saw that there were only a few lanterns hanging at the door of the house, scattering a little light.

The rest of the families were pitch black, and even on Chinese New Year's Eve, the poor families were reluctant to let the candles light up overnight.

Ye Qingyu looked at it, and felt that this village was really too dilapidated, and then thinking about the misery of Hu Sheng and her mother, she couldn't help but feel that she should do something.

It is not to give the villagers silver, but to lead the villagers to get rich, just like to the clansmen, so that they can have channels to earn silver.

Although the villagers here love gossip, most of them are simple and kind, hardworking and willing to work, like Xu Laomao's family, which is already the first evil in the village and the object of everyone's dislike.

They are poor, not because they are lazy, but because even if they have all the strength, they have no land for them to plant, let alone a place to earn money.

Xu Jingnan saw her lift the curtain to look outside, and from time to time there was a cold wind blowing, and he was afraid that she would be cold, so he told her to come back to her senses, put down the curtain, and took her in his arms to warm her.

When Autumn Ye saw her uncle's movements, she quickly moved to the door of the carriage, twisted her body to look outside, and resolutely didn't dare to look at her uncle and young lady.

At this point, she regretted thinking that she might as well sit outside.

It's better than it is now.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Xu Jingnan wrapped Ye Qingyu's hand, and found that her hand was quite hot, so he was a little relieved.
