Shen Yunxi still has something to do. Mrs. Zhang couldn't stop her, so she had to reluctantly send Shen Yunxi and Tian Daniu away.

In the courtyard of her house, Mrs. Zhang continued to play mahjong, with peaches and plums on both sides, and a grandmother sitting opposite. Set up a table and start playing cards.

"Old lady, no wonder the young master praised Mrs. Tian in front of you. She really didn't look like a peasant woman. Meizi envied that she was a peasant girl who was sold by her parents to the Zhang family as a maidservant. She saw the world and knew more.

Old Madam Zhang smiled and frowned. "She's not a peasant girl in the first place, of course not! I don't want to think about it. How many peasant women can read? How many peasant women can ride horses? A peasant woman may be able to farm, but how much will increase production? I hope you treat her like a guest in the future. Don't ignore her just because she lives in the country. ”

Meizi hurriedly replied, "Don't worry, old lady, the maidservant will treat Mrs. Tian well." That's Mrs. Wupin's Destiny. She's amazing!"

Old Madam Zhang nodded: "I am a three-grade order, but that was when the old lady was alive." He is a Sanpin official, and I received a Sanpin order. But Shen Yunxi's edict was obtained through his own efforts, so it was amazing. As far as I know, in the southwest of the Great Qi Kingdom, there is a woman named Meng E, who obtained this edict by her own ability. When the enemy attacked, the county commander of the city fled with his family, and she led the people of the city to defend the county and fight off the bad guys. Shen Yunxi's contribution was not to defend the country, but to make the people of the Great Qi State eat well. ”

Umeko is getting more and more impressed. She listened to the old lady talk about Mrs. Tian's story.

It's amazing how a woman can do so well.

Shen Yunxi and Tian Daniu came to the county government together. They saw a biaozi and a pillar nearby, followed by eight boys and girls, large and small, dressed in rags.

They hid behind the biaozi and the pillar, poked their heads out, and looked at Shen Yunxi.

When they came back last night, Brother Biao and Zhu Zi said that they had found a family with enough food, clothing, shelter and transportation. They were servants for ten years. When they grow up, they can decide to stay.

Autumn and winter are the hardest. There are always people who die of disease.

Therefore, they are not averse to selling themselves into slavery, at least to live.

When Yanzi saw Shen Yunxi, she gently pulled Biaozi's sleeve and whispered, "Brother Biao, it was this woman who watched us for a long time at the entrance of the alley yesterday. I'm afraid she's a trafficker. ”

Brother Biao listened, shook his head and smiled. "That's not human traffickers. She was Madame Tian, and she gave the high-yield crops to the emperor. From now on, we will work at her house. We can eat and drink, we don't have to worry about hunger, and we have a place to stay. ”

Yanzi suddenly realized: "I know, she is here to see if we are really poor."

Brother Biao explained in a low voice: "Yes, Zhu and I stole tomatoes and peppers from her house. She was suspicious of us and it was normal to investigate us. In short, we will have a place to live in the future. I said that if we protect you when you grow up, we won't break our promises. But my abilities are limited. I don't make enough money to buy a house. Without a place to live, my younger siblings would get sick and die. I sold myself as a slave and signed a living deed. Ten years later, the younger siblings are all grown up. I'll talk about that later. ”
