Saying that, Ma Huaihua pursed her lips and sighed softly, turned her head and saw that Liu Shaoyue's face was a little bad, thinking that she had thought too much, so she hurriedly comforted her gently.

"Ouch, Sha Yue, you don't have to worry, although you are now sold into slavery, you are already very lucky when you enter the Zhao Mansion, and you are not better hungry or cold here than in other places? Do you have this kind of craft, are you still afraid that you will not have a bright future? ”

Liu Shayue was actually thinking just now, if it was really so difficult outside, would it have an impact on her earning money and redeeming herself?

After all, she is still almost eight taels of silver away from redemption, and she plans to sell the well water in the space.

But hearing Ma Huaihua say this, she couldn't explain it, so she could only nod perfunctorily.

"Well, I know Aunt Ma, I think it's pretty good, too."

It's just that there is a trace of uneasiness in her heart, although she is now in the Zhao family to eat and wear, but when will this natural disaster be a head.

It's already chaotic outside, even if the Zhao family is a big family, how long can it last?

She learned from history that in the face of natural and man-made disasters, how many big families have been wiped out, and the Zhao family is just a rich squire in a town, and they are not even a speck of dust in the long river of history.

She is not as optimistic as Chef Ma, and Liu Shayue feels that her fate has to be in her own hands.

It seems that when she is done with this busy period, she has to find a way to go out and think about more money, and she has to speed up the redemption of herself.

"By the way, auntie, I have to do something else, can you help me send these samples to the second young master?"

Saying that, Liu Shayue picked up two egg tarts and other pastries and put them on the plate, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, not only her pastries but also Aunt Ma's dishes had to be presented to the second young master to nod and set in person.

If something goes wrong, they have one more night to improve.

Chef Ma took most of the egg tarts and was coaxed happily, and this little thing naturally took a bite.

I didn't forget to joke before leaving with the food box.

"You kid is really interesting, everyone else is trying to show his face in front of the second young master, and he can't wait to run every day, it's good for you, it's like you're hiding."

Liu Shayue pursed her lips and smiled, but did not say anything.

After the cook disappeared into the darkness with the lantern, she immediately jumped up from the pony and hurriedly put the remaining tarts into the space.

There are also various vegetable leaves piled up in the corners, peeled potato seeds.

She received them all in the space compartment, because she heard that the disaster outside was so serious, the high-oil and high-sugar snacks she had collected before might not be able to sell, and they were too conspicuous.

She might as well take some of these vegetable leaves that were thrown off by the rich and noble, and it would be more secure.

Liu Shayue is like a homeless man picking up rags, and he doesn't even let go of the peeled skin of the radish.

Until Chef Ma came back happily.

"Cover the moon, I'll tell you ......"

She strode past the place where the kitchen waste was piled up, and suddenly her steps stopped, and the leg that had stepped out fell back again.

Tilting his head, he stared at the pile of garbage on the ground for a long time, his face full of confusion.

"Is this place empty?"

Liu Shayue picked at the fingers in the cuffs and shook her head seriously.

"Is there one? No, can you throw away the garbage? ”

Hearing Liu Shayue's vow, Chef Ma's heart also began to be confused.

"That's right, no one will come to pick it up this big night."

Liu Shayue touched her neck with some weakness and changed the topic bluntly.

"By the way, Aunt Ma, what did you just say to me?"

When it came to this matter, Chef Ma didn't care about the problem of those garbage, she walked to Liu Shayue's side in three steps and two steps.

Said happily.

"Hey, look at what I forgot to talk about, the second young master is very satisfied with the pastry called egg tart you made, and specially asked me to come back and tell you that I must make more tomorrow."

The willow covers the moon's eyebrows and eyes.

"Don't worry, I've prepared a lot, and tomorrow will definitely be enough.

However, do you know who the noble man who will come tomorrow? How did you get such a big battle? ”

Ma Huaihua smiled mysteriously and lowered her voice in her ear.

"I really didn't know before, but when I went to the second young master's study to deliver food this time, I heard the second young master and his entourage instructing me to familiarize myself with the habits of the capital, so I knew who the person who came here would be."

When Liu Shayue heard the word capital, her eyes widened and she spoke.

"Beijing? The nobles of the capital, what are you doing in our poor country? ”

She learned from the memory of the original owner that this place was close to the frontier and far away from the capital, which was half a place where the emperor was far away, so the Zhao family could do business and rent land as a businessman, but the people in the family could still take the path of the imperial examination.

So she couldn't understand why the nobles from the capital came here, and it was even more strange.

"Who the hell is it? Why did you come to the Zhao family? ”

Ma Huaihua stretched out her hand and knocked on Liu Shayue's head, with some doting warnings.

"Don't talk nonsense, there are some things you don't know when you first came, what do you think is the reason why the Zhao family can have today's development?"

Liu Shayue pinched her fingers, pointed upwards and said uncertainly.

"Because there's someone up there?"

Ma Huaihua and Liu Shayue sat opposite each other on the small maza, and there was no one else around, and they spoke much more freely.

"Yes and no, the Zhao family was just an ordinary squire before, far less generous than now,

But when the old man was young, he rescued a noble person in the mountain stream, and after the man returned to Beijing, he didn't know what to say, and the Zhao family was taken care of by the county master, and the days became more and more prosperous. ”

Liu Shayue listened carefully, it turned out to be a life-saving story.

"Aunt Ma, do you know who the master saved? So powerful? ”

Ma Huaihua bent her waist and threw a few pieces of wood into the stove, watching the flames rise, she patted the sawdust on her hands, and her voice was so low that she could barely hear it.

"I'll tell you quietly, don't tell anyone."

Liu Shayue nodded like pounding garlic, and with a closed mouth expression.

After that, I listened to Ma Huaihua say mysteriously.

"If someone asks me, I definitely won't say it, my family doesn't work as a shopkeeper outside, occasionally helping the master's family run things.

He heard from the outside that the person our master saved back then has now become a general, and that is the royal celebrity. ”

After listening to this, Liu Shayue asked puzzled.

"But since he has already taken care of the Zhao family, why did he come this time?"

And things have been going on for so long, and a general's sudden visit to such a small place makes Liu Shayue have to think about it more.

Ma Huaihua shook her head on this crucial issue.

"I don't know about this, the dealings of big people are not something that domestic slave workers like us can know."

Liu Shayue pursed her lips and frowned, she was inexplicably a little uneasy in her heart.
