With household registration, there is no need to hide when doing things. ~ Yin Ruxing followed the Sang family's motorcade until they reached the final stop of the trip: Zhicheng.
Originally, she was reluctant to come because He Yan, the sister of the city lord of Zhi City, had met her once in Jiangcheng. But then she heard a news on the road. The two princes of Xidi were competing for the position of city lord, and the Grand Duke Feng Danyu asked
Zhidi asked for reinforcements. He Ya, the city lord of Zhicheng, did not want to be involved in other affairs, so He Yan led 2,000 elite soldiers in his own name to "make peace". Therefore, He Yan and her men, let alone Zhicheng at this moment
, even Zhi Di is not there.
Yin Ruxing felt relieved and followed the Sang family's motorcade into the southern capital.
The goods carried by the Sang family will eventually be sold here. The wages of the accompanying escorts, guards, and day laborers will be settled in one lump sum. This hiring trip is considered completed.
Shu Sanniang asked Yin Ruxing what his plans were. Yin Ruxing counted the money in his hand and spent most of it to pay fees when replenishing household registration in Weicheng.
The remaining money, together with the newly received salary, only amounted to three taels of silver. If he stayed in this prosperous Zhi city, even if he stayed in the cheapest inn, he wouldn't be able to sustain himself for long.
"No matter how much money you have, you can't afford to sit back and have nothing." Shu Sanniang pointed out to her, "You have to find something serious to do for a long time before you can settle down."
Shu Sanniang herself did not recommend Zhicheng. The capital city is prosperous and it is not easy to live in peace. She suggested that she should sign a long-term employment contract with the Sang family. In this way, the food and lodging expenses in Zhicheng could be saved. Yin Ruxing was originally very tempted, but unfortunately world affairs
Unexpectedly. After inquiring in detail, she found out that the Sang family was actually a caravan specializing in the route from Zhicheng to Xicheng. She was so frightened that she refused Shu Sanniang's kindness. She claimed that she didn't like running around and thought about it.
A peaceful day.
Everyone has their own ambitions. Shu Sanniang didn't force it. She also pointed out a way for her. In the north area of large cities, there will be a human trading market. Not only human trafficking, but also recruitment of long-term and short-term hired workers, craftsmen of all kinds, etc. If she is in a hurry, she will wait.
If you have money, you might as well try your luck there.
A penny drove a heroic man to death. Yin Ruxing hated himself deeply for being stupid. Why didn't he search for some gold and silver utensils in Feng Fat's room and take them away?
The labor market in North District is divided very formally. Buyers and sellers are in one place, craftsmen are in one place, and simple laborers are in one place. Young girls like Yin Ruxing are in another place.
Although he said he neither stole nor robbed, it was quite a psychological shock to stand here in Bei City for a day and let others pick and judge. Yin Ruxing stood there for two days without finding an employer, and her mental state became more and more depressed. She counted her hands three times a day.
How long can the money last?
In fact, if she is willing to sell herself as a slave, she will find a buyer immediately. Rich families are unwilling to hire servants. The labor shop also looks down on her because she is skinny and has no strength. Not to mention her beauty and cooking skills.
The results of the quick teaching after coming here are incomparable to the skills that local girls have practiced since childhood. The advantage of being good at one skill is gone.
As for literacy and medical skills, Yin Ruxing didn't want to expose them. (·~) After all, if Su Chen wanted to find her, he would definitely not miss these two clues.
As a result, it would be difficult to find a job. After shopping around, Yin Ruxing always wanted to find a job that would take care of food and housing.
They stayed around until the Sang family's motorcade was about to leave Zhi City. A more agreeable employer came from the north city. The employer was the steward of a farm, which was located two hundred miles outside Zhi City. It was said that he wanted to hire a few maids to do menial work.
.
Yin Ruxing's eyes lit up. He felt that the conditions of the farm were particularly satisfactory. It was far outside the city, away from the crowds. The farm was in charge of food and housing, and the monthly income was 300 Wen. There were provisions for clothing and footwear in all seasons. The most important thing was that the farm had
The farm is used by the owner for hunting and rest. It is rare for the owner to visit during the year. It is so convenient!
After several days of job competition, Yin Ruxing also had some skills. When the manager asked everyone what their specialties were, he raised his hand and responded: "I can chop firewood!"
All the hired workers laughed. Who couldn't chop firewood? The steward didn't laugh, but said, "Come and see." Someone else took the ax and firewood and handed them to her.
Yin Ruxing didn't panic. He stood with his legs spread apart and his knees bent, his breath sinking in his Dantian. There were many discerning people in the crowd, and they immediately said "Eh".
In the past, I had to switch from holding a knife to an axe. The principle of steady strength and sharp hands has not changed. Yin Ruxing concentrated his mind and struck down with the ax, and a cold light flashed. With a "click" sound, the firewood split into two neat pieces.
, the cut was smooth, and the two pieces of firewood were of equal thickness. Then, she continued to chop several pieces of firewood like this.
The steward chuckled and asked kindly: "Have you practiced, girl?"
Yin Ruxing exchanged axes and said a little shyly: "My family has been hunting for a living for generations. My brother taught me how to chop wood like this."
The folk customs in Zhidi are fierce, and there are often boxers teaching in the countryside. The manager didn't take it seriously. He inspected several people and selected four to sign employment contracts. Among them was Yin Ruxing.
The steward gave them a night to prepare and agreed to set off the next day. Yin Ruxing bought a jar of wine that night and packed several packages of cooked vegetables. He came to the inn to meet Shu Sanniang for a farewell drink.
Shu Sanniang was very happy to see her. She ordered the waiter to cook two more hot dishes. The two of them drank in a corner of the lobby and talked about everything.
"Sister." Shu Sanniang drank too much, so she leaned into Yin Ruxing's ear and said, "Sanniang, I feel that I have fallen in love with you in this life. If you can't survive in the future, come to Weicheng Tai'an Escort Bureau to find me."
Yin Ruxing didn't drink much, so she was still conscious. She smiled and said, "Okay. If I can't survive, I will definitely come to see Sister Shu."
Shu Sanniang smiled and advised her earnestly: "It's important to settle down, but don't forget about life-long events. You are not young anymore. If you see a good boy, you should catch it quickly. Remember to bring it to me if you have a baby.
Look."
Yin Ruxing agreed with a smile. The two of them drank up the wine with each other.
Early the next morning, Yin Ruxing carried a small package and went to the North City Gate to meet the other three people. Then he followed the steward out of the city and headed towards the farm.
*********************
The farm is not a big place. There are two small courtyards with three entrances. It is somewhat different from what Yin Ruxing imagined. There are not many people inside. Except for the nursing staff and the young men, there are very few maids and servants. No wonder there is a shortage of manpower.
The decoration in the house was unexpectedly luxurious. Yin Ruxing looked at it carefully and found that it was not much more than the city lord's mansion. He felt quietly suspicious in his heart.
She didn't know until she came here. In ancient society, there were strict hierarchical classifications for buildings, furnishings, clothing, and jewelry. People of different classes used what specifications and decorations. That couldn't be messed up. The construction of this farmhouse
, using the specifications of aristocratic families. But the inconspicuous parts of some small ornaments are engraved with patterns that can only be used by the monarch. However, these ornaments are not new yet, they are all ancient things. The materials are not expensive, so they should be casual.
Something to play with.
Observing this, Yin Ruxing immediately became vigilant. When he was assigned work, he took the initiative to go to the woodshed to chop firewood.
No one could compete with her for such a dirty, hard, and tiring job. Yin Ruxing successfully took office. After receiving a gleaming ax and several whetstones, she happily took office——
