Ji Xiaoduo has been in a good mood recently.

After the jade version was accepted by Qiu Yangzi, she didn't make any more trouble; of course, her charges were completely cleared after Sun Wenhan came to apologize; Mo Li also came back; Zhao Mingxuan was busy with official business, and he married Aunt Liu, except for occasionally letting her marinate some meat, he basically didn't look for her again...... Everything is going in a good direction.

Ji Xiaoduo also successfully sold three dim sum recipes, the money was not too much, more than two hundred taels, but it was already the highest price she could get.

After all, her dim sum is just fresh, and it was not famous before, and it is not impossible to imitate.

Thinking about the current prices, Ji Xiaoduo accepted it.

Now that she has more money in hand, Ji Xiaoduo began to wonder if she could expand her business.

Although she has other recipes on hand, they are scarce and expensive, and she doesn't want to release too many at once.

So you have to think about other livelihoods.

After all, she still owes four thousand taels.

But Du Qiao persuaded her to buy someone first.

He has already rented a piece of land on the outskirts of the city, and he is busy working there every day, and he is really a little uneasy about Ji Xiaoduo.

The Ji family has a small population.

Although Mo Li is back, he is young and a fool, and he is not at home during the day.

Ji Xiaoduo is a weak woman, beautiful, and has money by her side, so she is too easy to be targeted.

It's just a puppy, and probably can't be prevented.

Although Du Qiao asked his cousin, Ang Li also asked to help take care of it, but what if?

If something really happens, it's too late to regret it.

Ji Xiaoduo was not too worried about security, and Zhao Mingxuan's people did not evacuate.

Although a few secret guards have not shown their faces, these days Ji Xiaoduo has made a lot of dim sum snacks in the courtyard at night, as long as it is explained that it is to comfort them, it will definitely disappear.

However, Du Qiao's worries also have his reasons, in this era, it is really hard to say anything. And she's alone, and it's really inconvenient to do a lot of things.

Du Qiao deliberately took a break to accompany Ji Xiaoduo to buy someone.

Ji Xiaoduo has seen Baihualou buy people once.

Ren Yazi brought more than a dozen girls to let Sai's mother choose. From a few years old to a teenager, they are all beautiful, at least they are all clean and tidy.

But at this moment, as soon as she followed Du Qiao into the courtyard, she couldn't help but cover her nose.

What does this smell like!

It's almost like she was in the county jail.

Zheng Dong, the owner here, is an acquaintance of Du Qiao, and when he saw that she was disgusted, he explained with a smile: "I just bought a batch, and I haven't started cleaning and sorting yet, it's a little dirty, and I ask the girl to forgive me." ”

Listen to the word, "cleaning and sorting", as if it were some kind of cargo.

But here, people are indeed a commodity.

They are accepted from various sources, classified according to their own conditions, taught the rules, and then selected by buyers.

Ji Xiaoduo was actually a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she had no intention of making more comments.

After all, she ...... for the time being Nothing can be done.

If you want to change a world, you can't just talk about it.

Now, she can't even be sure of her future.

Du Qiao looked at her and said softly: "The people who are sold here are generally poor people who are desperate, and if someone buys them, they can at least have something to eat." ”

Ji Xiaoduo nodded and told Zheng Dong about his needs.

She wants to buy a woman in her thirties and forties, just be honest and diligent and don't talk much.

There are a lot of such people Zheng Dong here, and he quickly called five out for Ji Xiaoduo to pick.

Ji Xiaoduo asked a few words one by one, and picked one that was black and thin, but the skeleton was quite tall, and the finger joints were thick, and at first glance it was a woman who had worked for a long time.

Zheng Dong only needed seven hundred dollars.

Ji Xiaoduo was very surprised, and Du Qiao also said: "Brother Zheng is righteous, but how can you make you lose money?"

Zheng Dong waved his hand and said: "No, no, selling it to others is also at this price." He sighed as he spoke, and said a few words of gossip to Du Qiao in their line.

There was a famine in Jiazhou in the north, and Xunzhou in the west said that there were thieves who occupied the mountains as kings.

"I guess, I'm afraid that there will be displaced people running to our Shaozhou soon. Zheng Dong pointed to the woman, "Such an ordinary woman, if she has no good looks, no craftsmanship, she really can't sell for a price." ”

Du Qiao sighed, the world is difficult.

Ji Xiaoduo was thinking, no wonder Zhao Mingxuan was so busy that he couldn't see anyone.

The neighboring states are in chaos, and in the words of Ji Xiaoduo's previous life, he is probably under a lot of pressure now. How can you still take care of pickled girls?

The black thin woman's surname is Lu, and she has no name.

This is common in the countryside. Anyway, if a woman doesn't go to the family tree, what name do you want? When I was a child, the eldest girl and the second girl were called casually, and when I married the older one, I was XX and XX daughter-in-law.

She ranked second, and Ji Xiaoduo called her Lu Erniang.

Lu Erniang really doesn't talk much, and she doesn't say a word about her life experience, and she is indeed diligent and obedient, and she has a job when she enters the door, and she has to sweep the yard a few more times if she has nothing to do.

Ji Xiaoduo took a small room in her room and built a bed, even if she was allowed to stay.

However, after Mo Li came back, he was very dissatisfied with Lu Erniang not long after, and complained to Ji Xiaoduo angrily.

"Bad, rob me. ”

Ji Xiaoduo was very surprised, "What did she rob you?"

Lu Erniang is so honest, and she is even more respectful to Mo Li, the "only man in the Ji family", how could she rob him of his things?

Mo Li wrenched his hand and said, "Help my sister burn the fire, mine." Help my sister carry water, mine. Sweep the floor for my sister, my ......"

Ji Xiaoduo laughed before she finished listening, "Ouch, my stupid brother, isn't it good for people to help you work?"

Mo Li was unhappy with a straight face, and emphasized, "I, I'll help my sister!"

Ji Xiaoduo hugged him with a smile and rubbed it, "You are really a baby." As long as Moli is by my side, my sister is very happy. ”

Mo Li nodded emphatically.

He'll always be with his sister.

Ji Xiaoduo slowed down her voice again and said softly: "You are my younger brother, you do these things because you feel sorry for me and want to help me, right?"

Mo Li nodded heavily.

"But even if you don't, you're still my brother, and I'll still like you. But Lu Erniang is different. She robbed you of your job, not against you, but because she was afraid. She just came to our house, and she was afraid that if she didn't do a good job, we would drive her away, and she would starve to death outside. Ji Xiaoduo touched Mo Li's head and said, "You did those things for your sister, of course my sister is very happy." But we have more important things to do in Moli, you have to learn martial arts, you have to read and write, you have to protect your sister, Lu Erniang can't do these things, only Moli can do it. So, let her help with anything else, okay?"

These days, no matter whether the little fool understands it or not, Ji Xiaoduo will explain everything to Mo Li, and this time is no exception.

She always felt that Master Guanghua's diagnosis might not be so comprehensive, at least she had insisted on talking to Mo Li, and he could say a little more, and his expression became more vivid little by little.

Maybe he could recover slowly without the treasure that nourished his soul?

Mo Li had been hungry, and he hated the taste of hunger. Hearing that Lu Erniang might starve to death, her expression loosened a little. After thinking about it again, he nodded again.

"Well, my family is the most well-behaved. Ji Xiaoduo praised him and rewarded him with a piece of peanut crisp.

Unlike Zhao Mingxuan, who likes salty and spicy food, Mo Li prefers sweets.

When he eats his favorite snacks, he even narrows his eyes, like a satisfied little animal.

Ji Xiaoduo's heart melted, and he couldn't help but rub his head again.

What kind of fairy brother is this!
