Chapter 362: Visiting the Old Lady
Shen Yunxi said with a smile: "By the way, when you see Shopkeeper Lu, Steward Zhang will tell you by the way, these two thieves are really pitiful." After all, they still have a few orphaned siblings, and Biaozi and Zhuzi have become my servants. When you see them in the county seat, don't embarrass them. ”
Steward Zhang was stunned for a moment, and reminded kindly: "Mrs. Tian, are there no servants?"
Shen Yunxi nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I used to live with my sister-in-law and children. Now I'm the mayor of Xiangrui Town. I have to do not only the affairs of the family, but also the affairs of the township. My son Da Niu is still young, and I dare not let him do anything. Now I think the biaozi and the pillar are good. They were willing to sell themselves into slavery and sign a ten-year living deed. They would rather not be paid and take the orphans they adopted. These two children have a kind heart, and it is a good thing to value feelings. I have children at home. I can still raise a few more children. Chickens, ducks and pigs can be fed, which is not for nothing. ”
Steward Zhang hesitated. After all, Biaozi and Zhuzi are thieves. Who knows if they will change in the future?
When Shopkeeper Song saw it, he explained in a low voice: "Steward Zhang, I know Biaozi and Zhuzi very well. Although they are mixed in the streets and are also thieves, most of them are for those children. If they didn't care about those children, these two young people could live by sending Lingshan spring water to Yanchun Tower. The reason is that they have seven or eight underage children behind them. From this point of view, both Biaozi and Pillar have good personalities. ”
Steward Zhang listened and breathed a sigh of relief. "Since Mrs. Tian can see the advantages of these children and is willing to accept them, I will not persuade them. If you still lack servants, I can help you find some familiar people in the county. ”
Shen Yunxi thought about it and shook his head. "No need, thank you Steward Zhang."
Shen Yunxi didn't want to go through others when it came to selling servants. Who knows if someone will be framed by someone else in the future?
After all, she will use a lot of secret recipes to build a workshop in the future. If these people leak out, the damage will be huge.
When Steward Zhang saw Shen Yunxi's refusal, he didn't force him.
Before the little master left, he told everyone to pay attention to Mrs. Tian's visit. If he can help, he can't refuse her.
Now he offered to help, but Mrs. Tian was unwilling, which was considered the completion of the little master's suggestion.
Just then, a chubby little maid came over with a smiling face. "Steward Zhang, the old lady heard that Mrs. Tian was coming, so she invited her over!"
Shen Yunxi was stunned, looking shy. "Today was just a trifle. It is really a sin to disturb Steward Zhang and alarm the old lady. ”
The little maid had a sweet voice and spoke very well. "The old lady has always admired Mrs. Tian, but she is too old to go to Xiangrui Village. Now that Mrs. Tian is here, the old lady wants to see you. ”
Shen Yunxi stood up without twisting. "Now that I've arrived here, I should visit the old lady. Hold on. There were gifts in the package!"
The package contained silver and a set of clothes and shoes. If the clothes are dirty on the outside, you can change them at will, but others don't know what's inside.
Shen Yunxi pretended and took out a simple rectangular box containing good toys for leisure and entertainment!
Mahjong!
In this space, Shen Yunxi found this set of wooden mahjong with traditional characters. Shen Yunxi wanted to take it out for the children's literacy, so he made a wooden box and put it in.
It's just that I haven't had time to take it out yet. I just came to Zhang's house.
You don't need to bring a gift when you come to Steward Zhang, but you can't be in such a hurry to find the old lady.
