The addition of a few helping children in the village is really a small thing that is not worthy of attention. Peifeng has always been clumsy and attentive, because she had hired women from tenant households to make cotton armor before, so she probably knew some basics.

I found two eloquent women who used the convenience of dividing the work to visit the homes of those children. It was just as Qingying said, these half-year-old little girls were having a very difficult time at home.

Either there are several younger brothers at his feet, or he has a useless father and brother above his head.

The worst thing about this little girl is that her father is a bad gambler. Three fingers on her right hand were chopped off by debt collectors. Her mother has been sold to someone who knows where. Not only does she have to take care of her good-for-nothing father, but there are two words below.

The whole family is counting on her to speak up about her brother. The younger brother died just after winter this year. The little girl took her brother to his grave and looked at the remaining brothers more and more like eyeballs.

Yes, it turned out that a few days ago she went out to beg for meat soup, but when she came back she couldn't find it. Only her father said through his teeth that as long as she worked hard, she could see her brother again.

According to the guesses of the women, the little girl's brother has probably been sold by that rotten gambler, leaving the remaining little girl. Firstly, he still has to be taken care of, and secondly, the little girl has to wait for him again.

It takes two years to raise money before it becomes valuable.

Peifeng thought about it and handed the matter over to Tong Wu. Less than half a day later, a little girl who looked like a sick cat was brought to Peifeng.

"I gave Lu a tael of silver to buy this little girl. As soon as he turned around, he didn't know which gambling house he had gone to. He even sold his wife and children, which were unconscionable things, but it couldn't stop his gambling habit.

You don’t have to worry about the rest, we are the only brothers to take care of it. I asked my mother-in-law to wash this little girl. The clothes she wore belonged to my daughter. This girl is also pitiful. My girl is only nine years old, and the clothes she wears are still wet.

A sleeve of wealth."

Peifeng nodded, understanding that Tong Wu was a person who started and finished everything, and it would be difficult for this little girl's father to come back in the future.

Looking at the shivering little girl, she took out a dime of silver from her waist.

Tong Wu waved his hands repeatedly: "No way, Miss Peifeng, in my eyes, Tong Wu, you are the general who leads us to march and fight. There is no need to pay for doing things for the general."

"I entrusted you with the work, so I should figure it out clearly. How can I make you spend extra money? The extra money is Sister-in-law Huang's hard-earned money."

While talking, Peifeng touched the little girl's neatly combed yellow hair.

The little girl hunched her shoulders and didn't dare to move. Her thin neck seemed to be only a few fingers thick, making it easy for anyone to hold it in their hands.

Peifeng led her all the way to the kitchen. Tunan was studying with some women on the kitchen floor how to make a goose dish for the girl. He turned around and looked at the little girl who didn't even have the weight of half a goose.

"Pei Feng? Where did you find this little girl?"

Peifeng didn't say much. He pushed the little girl's shoulder and pushed her in front of Tunan.

"give it to you."

Tunan, who was holding the goose, said: "...Pei Feng, please tell me clearly where this little girl comes from."

Peifeng didn't care. He turned around and left as if his butt was on fire. When he reached the entrance of the courtyard, he almost started running.

Tunan couldn't stop calling her, so she turned around and looked at the little girl: "What's your name?"

The skinny little girl somehow knew the person who was presiding over the meat sharing. She swallowed her saliva and whispered: "My mother called me Nan'er. My mother is gone. My father called me Sanliang and said that he would be able to do it when I turn fourteen."

After selling me for three taels of silver, Uncle Tong bought me for only one tael of silver."

As she spoke, the little girl blinked her eyes and tears fell down like a broken thread.

Tunan was startled, her expression became extremely soft, one hand was still holding the goose's neck, and she used her free hand to hold the little girl in her arms.

The sun's rays fell sparsely on the yard. Tunan looked up and then at the little girl in his arms.

"Miss Tunan, at first glance I thought you were carrying two geese and wanted to cook them together."

Tunan turned around and looked over, and saw Xia He leaning on the courtyard door with a few bundles in his arms and smiling.

"Miss Xia He, why are you here?" Tunan said hello to Xia He after letting go of San Liang.

"Didn't the young lady say that she wanted to buy clothes for the little girls who came to help in the yard? This pack is the inner clothes that me and that silly Xingzi brought to the little girls last night. We are both clumsy and the cotton-padded clothes are made slowly.

This package was made by Sister An. The little girl is young and wears a short jacket and long trousers. The largest package was made by Qingying. She is very handy and makes many and fine things. I will send it to you quickly.

, to prevent her from wanting to embroider on it... Looking at the figure of this little girl, Qingying's made it fit better. After all, we are not as careful as her. She is afraid that she has already noticed the size of these little girls.

The measurement is accurate."

Nagging, Xia He placed a few bundles on the clean stone platform beside the courtyard wall.

Tunan thanked her quickly.

Xia He glanced at the little girl named Sanliang again.

"Looking at this little girl, I remembered the year when the young lady first entered Ning'an's residence. That idiot Xingzi was bullied to the point of being bullied. Only the young lady did not dislike her. At that time, the young lady was also like this.

Holding her."

Saying that, Xia He held the handkerchief and let out a sigh of relief. At that time, she was also pinching the tip to be strong. She was thinking about Xie Feng'an again. When she saw the second young lady who had just entered the door, she was willing to coax a crying little girl and thought she was pretending.

.

Now that I think about it, I feel so ashamed that I wish I could give myself a pair of red slaps.

After feeling ashamed, Xia He raised his head and saw a smile on Tunan's face.

"Thank you Miss Xia He for the compliment."

"Ah? Who, who praised you?" Xia He looked confused and didn't know where Tunan's happiness came from.

Tunan still smiled.

Both eyes narrowed in laughter.

During dinner, Zhao Surui gnawed on the roasted goose leg. His mouth was full of oil while eating, and he wanted to eat the elbow.

Since that day, in order to embarrass Tunan, he said that he no longer wanted to eat chicken, mutton, or pork. Every meal he ate was either stewed fish or steamed crab, as well as duck and five-spice turtle cooked in wine.

It was quite fresh, but Emperor Zhao De still wanted to eat the elbow.

It's so plump that it dangles on the plate, and the fat skin melts on the tip of the tongue.

Especially when the meat was divided after training every day, Zhao Surui couldn't take his eyes away when he saw others happily going home with meat bowls in their hands or just sitting on the ground and feasting.

He really didn't lack half a pound of pork.

Who is he? He is the real grandson of the noble prince of Tianhuang. He has not eaten many delicacies from the mountains and seas since he was a child. How can he miss the pork that he is tired of eating?

"Young madam, your big goose burns really fragrantly."

Liu Tianxing, who helped deliver the food, looked at the golden roasted goose and sniffed at the aroma, her head almost touching the goose meat.

Zhao Surui poked her forehead with the end of his chopstick:

"It's just a few mouthfuls of meat, but why do you always look so worthless?"

Liu Tianxing straightened up and laughed:

"I'm not very greedy. The goose meat is at your place, young lady. The remaining goose bones and other things have been boiled by Miss Tunan in sauce. She also added radish and cabbage and cooked them together. It's very fragrant, and it's just right for rice."

Zhao Surui rolled his eyes at her, feeling more and more that this fool was ignorant: "After all, there is not much meat, and poor people can't eat it."

"Who said there was no meat? Let the pork for lunch cool and cut into thin slices. It's so delicious!"

"Really?" Zhao Surui still had a look of contempt and disbelief on his face, looking at her sideways, "Why don't I believe it? It's just leftover meat, what's so delicious about it?"

When someone said that she liked to eat meat, Liu Tianxing pursed her lips and looked at the "young lady" with a pair of big eyes angrily. After a while, the little girl suddenly said loudly:

"Young madam, you must want to eat my pork but can't. You are deliberately irritating me with your words. You are just waiting for me to bring the meat and vegetables for you to taste! If you want to eat, just say it. I, I can do that too.

Give you...a little."

The little girl pinched her fingers and finally found a "little bit". It was really not enough to feed the chickens.

Zhao Surui laughed: "Looking at your stingy look, how can I be greedy for your meat? I can't even eat the whole plate of roast goose."

Liu Tianxing looked at him with suspicious eyes, as if judging a thief. After looking at him for a long time, the little girl waved her hand heartily: "Then I will go to eat first. Young Madam, please wait for me for a while. I will eat when I am full."

came back."

The roasted goose skin is crispy and the meat is fragrant. It is full of aroma when you take a bite, and the taste is even better when dipped in the sweet and sour sauce.

While eating the roast goose carelessly, Zhao Surui listened to Liu Tianxing running out of the yard, and immediately let go of the chopsticks in his hand, letting them fall on the plate.

He was really missing the sliced ​​cold pork.

Who is he? He is Emperor Zhaode! The real noble prince Longsun of Tianhuang, the real rich man comes from all over the world to worship him! How many delicacies from the mountains and seas have not been eaten since childhood? How can he miss the pork that he is tired of eating? Again

It's old and cold, which makes me feel off-putting.

How could he care about cheating food from a fool?

He is the wise and invincible Emperor Zhaode! He, even if he really deceived Shi'er, he would never let a fool see it!
