Village Chief Li had many people with him. He was too embarrassed to go to the Gu family, so he asked Li Dabao to come over to the Gu family.

Li Dabao is a dark-skinned farm boy, but his eyes are very bright and he talks interestingly. He doesn't look like a farm boy at all.

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

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

Liu Pan'er still had business to do, and Mrs. Gu couldn't keep stopping her, so she had to reluctantly let Liu Pan'er and Li Dabao leave.

In the main courtyard of the Gu family, Mrs. Gu continued to play mahjong, with Tian Xing and Tian Tao on both sides. Opposite her, the nun sitting next to her, they formed a table and started playing cards.

"Old madam, no wonder the young master praised Mrs. Derry in front of you before. She really doesn't look like a farm girl." Tian Tao was envious. She was a farm girl who was sold by her parents to the Gu family as a slave. Only then did she open her eyes and know more things.

.

Mrs. Gu laughed and raised her eyebrows, "She's not a farm girl at all, of course she doesn't look like it! You don't even think about it, how many farm girls are literate? How many farm girls can ride a horse? Maybe a farm girl can?

Farming, but how many can increase the yield? When Pan'er comes over from now on, you will treat her as a distinguished guest, but don't neglect her just because she lives in the countryside."

Tiantao quickly agreed, "Old madam, don't worry, I will treat Mrs. Derry well. She is a fifth-grade royal wife, she is very powerful!"

Mrs. Gu nodded, "I have a third-grade imperial decree, but that was when the old man was still alive. He was a third-grade official, so I got the third-grade imperial decree. But Pan'er's imperial decree was obtained through his own efforts, and he is a powerful one.

As far as I know, there was another woman in the Zhou Dynasty who got a royal title through her own abilities. She was in the southwest, named Qi He. When the enemy invaded, the county magistrate in the city ran away with his family, and she led the people in the county to defend the city.

, and also beat away those bad guys. Although Pan'er's contribution is not to protect the family and the country, but it can make the people of Dazhou full, which is also a great achievement."

Tiantao was more and more impressed as she listened to the old lady telling her about Mrs. Dre.

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

Let's say that Liu Pan'er came to the county government office with Li Dabao, and saw a leopard and two dogs nearby, followed by eight boys and girls of various sizes, all dressed in rags.

They hid behind Leopard and Ergouzi, stuck their heads out, and looked towards Liu Pan'er.

When they came back last night, Brother Leopard and Brother Gouzi said that they had found a family with enough food, clothing, and a place to live. They would sell themselves as slaves for ten years, and when they grow up, they can decide whether to live or stay on their own.

Autumn and winter are the hardest times, with people always getting sick and dying.

Therefore, they were not opposed to selling themselves into slavery, at least they could survive.

When Sister Mao'er saw Liu Pan'er, she gently tugged on Leopard's sleeve and whispered: "Brother Leopard, this is the woman who was watching us at the entrance of our alley for a long time yesterday. I'm worried that she is a human trafficker."

When Leopard heard this, he shook his head and laughed, "That's not a human trafficker, she is Mrs. Dre who handed over high-yielding crops to Your Majesty. From now on, we will work at her house, have food and drink, don't have to 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."

Leopard explained in a low voice, "Yes, Ergouzi and I stole her tomatoes and peppers. It's normal for her to suspect us, and it's normal for her to investigate us. Anyway, we will have a place to live in the future. I said I will protect you."

When I am older, I will not break my promise. It’s just that my ability is limited and I can’t earn enough money to buy a house. If I don’t have a place to live, my younger brothers and sisters will get sick and die. I sold myself into slavery and signed a living contract. Ten years later, my younger brother will

My sister is grown up, we will talk about it when the time comes."

Sister Mao'er nodded and looked at Leopard with admiration, "Brother Leopard, I know you are all doing this for our own good."

Almost everyone in the county government knew Liu Paner and Village Chief Li. When they arrived at the county government and explained their intentions, they quickly processed the deed.

For a living contract, there is no money for selling oneself, but there is a salary of 500 cash per month for those over the age of 15, 300 cash for those between 12 and 15 years old, and 200 cash for those under 12 years old, and 200 cash for those over 8 years old.

Wen; Under eight years old, do some odd jobs, not paid, but provided with food and accommodation.

This is the market situation in Cuiyang County. Liu Pan'er did not overpay or deduct.

If they do well, Liu Pan'er will reward them.

Two bullock carts can barely fit inside.

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

Riding a horse is fast. Liu Pan'er arrived at the village just after noon.

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

"Yuan Qing's family, where are you riding your horse?" The three widows looked envious. This Liu Pan'er is really good and can ride a horse. The key is that someone gave Liu Pan'er two good horses.

After all, if you are good-looking and popular, you can easily win the favor of others, and the things you want can be obtained more easily than others.

The third widow felt that she was born thirty years too early. If time could be turned back, she would be infinitely more charming.

Liu Pan'er smiled, did not dismount, and slowed down, "There are many things at home, so I always have to find some people to help me with things, otherwise I can't do it alone. Aunt, I wish you a prosperous business, I have to leave beforehand

.”

No matter how much Liu Pan'er hated the third widow, she never got angry at people for no reason or looked down upon others.

The third widow smiled and said, "You are busy, so I won't delay you anymore."

Liu Pan'er rode away, relaxed and carefree.

When Liu Pan'er walked away, Old Man Zhou glanced at Liu Pan'er's back several times, then lowered his voice and said, "Is it really impossible to buy the foundation for the shop?"

The third widow had a gentle voice and a sweet smile, "My friend, can I still lie to you? Mrs. Derry has more on her mind than you. She has seen many people with ulterior motives marrying people from our village, just to buy more foundations for shops.

. Some people may agree to get married regardless of the money, so as to bury the consequences and immediately decide not to sell. If you care so much, are you the same as those people with ill intentions? "

When Old Man Zhou heard this, his heart skipped a beat. At first, he and the old lady in front of him just flirted with each other and didn't think about going any further.

But suddenly Lijia Village turned into Jixiang Village, and there was Jixiang Town nearby, so that was a big deal. He immediately got into a heated relationship with the three widows, decided to get married, and wanted to buy more foundations for the shop.

He thought so in his heart, but he couldn't admit it!

Old man Zhou pretended to have a dark face and was quite annoyed, "Look at what you said, when I was good with you, this place was not called Jixiang Village, but Lijia Village! You hurt my heart by saying this."

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

Regardless of whether what the old man said this week is true or not, the real money and silver spent to buy the foundation of the shop, and it is in her name, is enough, and she will have no worries about food and drink in her life.
