Yuan Mingzhu was sitting in the carriage to Jiangnan, and she was gnawing at the dry food. It was Meiniang who branded her the night before with her sick body. Thinking of Meiniang, she was always a little worried. She didn't know what was going on at home these days?

Just thinking about it, the sound of swallowing saliva came from her ear. Yuan Mingzhu turned her head and saw a girl with two small locks. She had big round eyes. When she laughed, she had two pear vortices on her lips, which was very pleasing.

"Hungry?" Asked yuan Mingzhu.

"Not hungry, not hungry." The girl waved her hand again and again: "it's just that my sister's cake smells delicious."

The girl said, holding her legs and leaning to one side, but her eyes were still staring at the cake in Yuan Mingzhu's hand. Yuan Mingzhu laughed and gave half of it to the girl: "eat it."

"Sister, I'm not really hungry --"

Yuan Mingzhu handed the cake to her without saying anything. A moment later, the girl took the cake and immediately put it in her mouth. She wolfed it down like she hadn't eaten in a few days.

After eating, the girl gave yuan Mingzhu a smile: "sister, it's delicious."

"Haven't you eaten in a few days?"

With a shy smile, the girl whispered: "two years ago, the village was infected with plague, and my parents were no longer there. Later, my brother and I were fostered in my uncle ', You didn't get me dry food. In fact, I know that a few days ago, my uncle just bought a bag of grain

The little girl drooped her head and said it dully, as if to Yuan Mingzhu or to herself.

"Don't be sad. You are a good boy. You will be blessed in the future."

The little girl looked up and gave yuanmingzhu a sweet smile: "I'm not sad. In fact, I know that it's not easy for my uncle's family. I eat a lot on weekdays. My aunt should dislike me. When I make money this time and take it home, my aunt won't dislike me any more. No matter how much I suffer for my brother, it's worth it."

Yuan Mingzhu chuckles. She likes the innocence of the little girl in front of her.

"Sister, it's nice to see you smile. It's more beautiful than the flowers in our village."

Yuan Mingzhu coughed lightly, and a touch of embarrassment flashed on her face. Then she heard the little girl say, "sister, my name is er Xi, and you?"

"Pearl."

"My sister's parents must love you very much and regard you as the apple of their eyes."

At the thought of Meiniang, yuanmingzhu looked warm and nodded.

The carriage suddenly shook and stopped. There was a noise outside.

"Sister, what's going on outside?" Two Xi some fear, seized the yuan Mingzhu's arm.

Yuan Mingzhu patted Er Xi's hand: "Er Xi, don't be afraid. I'll go out and have a look."

Yuan Mingzhu looks out and sees several female workers quarreling with the steward.

"When I came here, it was written in the deed that five liang of silver, regardless of food, it's useless for you to make trouble now!"

Yuan Mingzhu looks at the female workers on the bus. Most of them are children from poor families. I'm afraid that few of them have food rations before they come. Most of them are illiterate. They are afraid that they don't know what is written in the deed.

It was just such a noise that it didn't work at all. Sure enough, within a moment, the women workers were driven back to the car. Yuan Mingzhu put down the curtain of the car, looked at the women workers in the same car, and asked, "how many of you have brought dry food?"

After a while, no one answered. Yuan Mingzhu looked into her eager eyes and sighed. She took out the remaining grain and gave it to the people.

"Do you know who is in charge of this matter in the weichi family when we go to Jiangnan to collect herbs?"

"I know. I have a relative who is the servant of the Yuchi family. She said that the ninth young master and yuchijin of the Yuchi family were in charge of the picking of herbs in the south of the Yangtze River. They were in the carriage in front of me. But I heard that another person was sent by the Yuchi family this time... "

Yuan Mingzhu didn't hear clearly and didn't care. Instead, she stared at the carriage in front of her and fell into deep meditation
