Village Chief Li had a lot of people around him, and he was embarrassed to go to Gu's house, so he asked Li Dabao to come to Gu's house.

Li Dabao is a black peasant boy, but his eyes are very bright, and he speaks interestingly, not like a farmer's child at all.

Mrs. Gu gave Li Dabao a meeting gift, and Liu Paner and Li Dabao returned to the guest room to rest.

Early the next morning, Liu Paner and Li Dabao had dinner and said goodbye to Mrs. Gu.

Liu Paner still has something to do, and Mrs. Gu can't keep stopping her, so she has to reluctantly let Liu Paner and Li Dabao leave.

In the main courtyard of the Gu family, Mrs. Gu continued to play mahjong, with sweet apricots and sweet peaches on both sides, and the grandmother who sat next to her sat opposite, gathered a table and began to play cards.

"Old lady, no wonder the young master praised Mrs. Derui in front of you before, she really doesn't look like a peasant girl." Tian Tao envies, she is a peasant girl who was sold by her parents to the Gu family as a slave, so she opened her eyes and knew more things.

Old Madam Gu smiled and raised her eyebrows, "That's not a peasant girl, of course it's not like it!" You don't want to think about it, how many peasant girls are literate? How many peasant girls can ride horses? Peasant girls may be able to farm, but how many can increase yields? In the future, when Pan'er comes, you will treat her as a distinguished guest, but you can't snub her just because she lives in the countryside. ”

Tian Tao hurriedly responded, "Old lady, don't worry, the slave will definitely treat Mrs. Derui well." That's the five-grade lady of the fate, amazing! ”

Old Madam Gu nodded, "I have a three-rank edict on my body, but that was when the old lady was alive, and he was a third-grade official, so I only got the three-rank edict." Ke Pan'er's destiny was obtained through his own efforts, and he was powerful. As far as I know, there is also a woman in Da Zhou who has been ordered through her own ability, in the southwest area, called Qi He. When the enemy country invaded, the county magistrate in the city ran away with her family, and she led the people of the county to defend the city, and also beat away those bad guys. Pan'er's credit, although it is not to protect the family and defend the country, but it can make the people of Da Zhou eat their stomachs, which is also a great achievement. ”

Sweet Peach admired more and more, and listened to the old lady talk about Mrs. Drey.

It's really unusual for a woman to be so powerful.

Let's say that Liu Paner took Li Dabao to the county government together, and saw a leopard and two dogs nearby, followed by eight boys and girls of all sizes and in tattered clothes.

They hid behind the leopard and the second dog, poked their heads out, and looked at Liu Pan'er.

When they came back last night, Brother Leopard and Brother Dog said that they had found a place to live where they could be fed, clothed, and warm, and sold themselves as slaves for ten years, and when they grew up, they could decide to stay by themselves.

Every autumn and winter is the most difficult, and there are always people who get sick and die.

Therefore, they are not opposed to being sold into slavery, at least to survive.

When Sister Mao'er saw Liu Pan'er, she gently tugged at the leopard's sleeve and whispered: "Brother Leopard, it was this woman who watched our alley for a while yesterday, and I was worried that she was a human trafficker." ”

When the leopard heard this, he shook his head and smiled, "That's not a human trafficker, she is Mrs. Dre who handed over high-yielding crops to His Majesty." In the future, we will work in her house, have food and drink, don't worry about hunger, and have a place to live. ”

Sister Mao'er suddenly realized, "I know, she is here to find out if we are really pitiful." ”

The leopard explained in a low voice, "Yes, Ergouzi and I stole her tomatoes and peppers, and it is normal for her to suspect us, and it is normal for her to come to investigate us." In short, we will have a place to live in the future, and I said that I will protect you as you grow up, and I will not break my promise. It's just that my ability is limited, I can't earn enough money to buy a house, I don't have a place to live, my younger siblings will get sick and die. Sold into slavery, signed a living deed, ten years later, the younger brothers and sisters have grown up, and then we will talk about it. ”

Sister Mao'er nodded and looked at the leopard with admiration, "Brother Leopard, I know you are all for our good." ”

There are almost no people in the county government who do not know Liu Paner and Village Chief Li, and when they arrived at the county government to explain their intentions, they quickly handled the deed.

There is no silver to sell oneself, but there is a monthly salary of 500 yuan for those over the age of 15, and 300 yuan for those between the ages of 12 and 15. Under 12 years old, over 8 years old 200 Wen; Under the age of eight, do some odd work, do not pay wages, but take care of food and shelter.

Cuiyang County is such a market, Liu Paner did not give more, nor did she deduct it.

If they do a good job, Liu Paner will reward them.

Two ox carts, barely able to squeeze in.

Liu Pan'er rode back first, and asked Village Chief Li to take care of the children behind.

Riding a horse is fast, Liu Paner arrived in the village, just noon.

The three widows continued to sell tea, and there was an old man in front of the stall, who was Zhou Cuntou.

"Yuan Qing's family, where are you going to ride a horse?" The three widows showed envy in their eyes, this Liu Paner is amazing, she can ride a horse, and the key is that someone gave Liu Paner two good horses.

In the end, if you are good-looking and popular, it is easy to get the favor of others, and it is easier to come to things than others.

The third widow felt that she had been born thirty years early, and that if time could be turned back, she would be infinitely charming.

Liu Pan'er smiled, didn't get off the horse, slowed down, "There are a lot of things at home, I always have to find some people to help me do things, otherwise I won't be able to do it alone." Auntie, I wish you a prosperous business, and I still have to leave beforehand. ”

No matter how much Liu Paner hates the three widows, she never gets angry at people for no reason, or gives people a look.

The third widow smiled, "Then you are busy, so I won't delay you." ”

Liu Paner rode away, relaxed and wanton.

When Liu Pan'er walked away, Old Man Zhou glanced at Liu Pan'er's back several times, and then lowered his voice and said, "I really can't buy the foundation of the shop?" ”

The third widow had a gentle voice and a lovely smile, "Wrongdoer, can I still lie to you?" Mrs. Nadre thinks more than you do, and she has seen many people with ulterior motives marrying people in our village, all in order to buy more shop foundations. Some people may decide not to sell it immediately for the sake of silver, regardless of the need to deal with their relatives, bury the troubles. If you care so much, are you just like those who have bad intentions? ”

When Old Man Zhou heard this, he chuckled in his heart, at first he was just eyebrowning at the half-aged in front of him, and he didn't think about going further.

But suddenly Lijia Village became Jixiang Village, and there was Jixiang Town around, so it was terrible, and he immediately had a hot fight with the three widows, settled down on the family matter, and thought about buying more shop foundations.

I thought so, but he couldn't admit it!

Old man Zhou pretended to have a black face, quite annoyed, "Look at what you said, when I was good with you, this place was not called Jixiang Village, but Lijia Village!" You broke my heart when you said that. ”

When the third widow heard this, she quickly poured a cup of tea for Old Man Zhou and smiled happily, "Come, have a cup of tea, and you won't be sad." ”

Regardless of whether what the old man said this week is true or not, but the real money was taken out to buy the foundation of the shop, and in her name, this is enough, and she will not worry about eating and drinking in this life.

In short, those who can survive on the way to escape the famine will not be able to do without a scheming. The three widows know better how to take the benefits into their own hands.
