Jiang Pengji was surprised, raised her hand to support the woman, and said with a smile, "This is not a place to talk, it's better to sit at the restaurant next to the road."
Judging from the traces of the woman's appearance, her life was a little difficult, and she was frugal and only ate one meal a day.
The baby beside her is very well raised, she is fat and cute, and even the clothes she wears are all fine cotton.
The material of fine cotton is not expensive, but it is already a lot of expenses for farmers with average family background.
The woman hesitated for a while, then she smiled again, and followed Jiang Pengji to the nearby Zhikezhai with the urchin in her arms.
Zhikezhai has spread all over the towns and cities in Wanzhou, and its reputation is getting better day by day.
Although it is aimed at mid-to-high-end diners, ordinary people grit their teeth and occasionally have a meal.
The woman followed Jiang Pengji to the private room. She and the old housekeeper were frugally raising the little master, but they had never been to Zhikezhai.
"You can eat more of what you want, this child... If I remember correctly, is it the one under the protection of the biological mother?"
How many people were rescued by Jiang Pengji after the earthquake in Shangjing
Today, a large part of the people in Xiangyang County followed her from Shangjing to this place.
Hearing the words, the woman nodded with tears in her eyes, her eyes were bloodshot, but her expression was not aggrieved, but uncontrollably excited.
She always remembered Jiang Pengji, but she was a busy person, how could she remember her
I reminded me just now, but I didn't hold out hope. I didn't expect the other party to say it right away.
"It's the little master of the slave family."
The woman nodded excitedly, and the fat white child in her arms twisted suspiciously, looking at Jiang Pengji and the woman holding her.
He didn't understand what was going on, so he could only step on the woman's kneeling thigh, tiptoe, trying to wipe her tears with his fat white paws.
"How have the years gone?"
Jiang Pengji looked at the child and dug out relevant fragments from her memory.
She remembered that when she rescued the child from the ruins, the child was guarded by a woman with a curled back.
If it wasn't for the woman's body to protect her, her spine bulging, her head, arms, and front chest arched out of a gap, she would have died early.
The woman showed a pure smile, "Thanks to the good governance of the state shepherd, the slave family can take the master to survive in this world."
For quite a few years, there were twenty people in the mansion, and after an earthquake, only three survived.
A wet nurse, a housekeeper, and a child who was only two months old.
The world outside is too chaotic, the three of them are old and weak, women and children, and there is no way to go to their relatives, so they can only follow Jiang Pengji to Xiangyang County.
The old housekeeper did extra work for people to settle accounts. She made sweaters or embroidered some patterns and sold them at home. On weekdays, she was frugal. Except for the small amount of rent and rent that was handed over to the county government, the remaining money was enough for them to live. Both of them are loyal servants, and they would rather be tired and suffer a little bit than feel wronged by the child. Therefore, among the three, only the child is wearing clothes made of fine cotton.
Jiang Pengji said, "Are you that wet nurse? If I remember correctly, there was an old man who survived back then."
The woman said, "The state shepherd has a good memory, that is the dowry housekeeper of the slave family's wife."
Jiang Pengji said to the child, "Come here."
The child was very guilty. He just bumped into someone, how could he dare to approach him now
The woman encouraged him, and he hesitantly ran towards Jiang Pengji.
Jiang Pengji held the person upside down, the weight of a two-year-old child was not light.
"I remember that the child's master family seems to be extraordinary. Haven't thought of taking the child to find relatives for so many years?"
Before the earthquake happened, the land in Shangjing was worth every inch of land, and one could buy real estate there, either rich or expensive.
It stands to reason that the parents of this child are not ordinary people.
The woman said, "The slave family had this plan for a long time, but there were wars everywhere in the past, and the slave family and the housekeeper did not dare to take the little master to take risks, so it has been delayed until now. I plan to save enough travel expenses in a few years, and then go on the road to find relatives. So as not to delay the enlightenment of the little master."
In the whole of Dongqing, what place is safer than Maruzhou
The lions are entrenched, guarded by heavy troops, the state herdsmen love the people like sons, and the entire Maruzhou is governed in an orderly manner.
After leaving the Maruzhou border, it was either wars or various famines. How could she and the old housekeeper keep the little master
Jiang Pengji hugged the child and brought him some food.
"Where is this child from? Since I saved him, I met him on the street today, so it's obvious that I have a fate. If I can help, I can send someone to bring a message to the child's relatives, so that they can take the child back as soon as possible. Look at your appearance, these years have not been easy."
The woman's eyes turned red again, and she kowtowed, "Thanks to the state shepherd, if there is an afterlife, the slave family will hold a grass knot to repay their kindness."
Wiping away her tears, the woman continued, "The master of the slave family is Chongzhou Cui Shi."
"Chongzhou Cui Clan?"
It was a coincidence that Jiang Pengji held the child in one hand and lit the food table in the other.
Chongzhou was his father Liu She's territory. As for this Cui family, Jiang Pengji had vaguely heard rumors about the other party.
Cui has lived in Chongzhou for a long time, and belongs to the local snake, but he is not a serious noble family. They have a background but are looked down upon.
The reason is simply because Cui's relationship with Beijiang is quite close.
People are doing business between the two places, and there is even a smell of grass on the wall. Where the wind blows, people fall.
Jiang Pengji communicated with Liu She, but the other party did not think highly of Cui.
Even said that they—the whole body smelled of copper money, how could there be any literati half-distinguished
At first glance, this Cui Clan is in line with Qian Xiangquan, no wonder Liu She is so bad to their senses.
The woman nodded sharply, and she said, "Mrs. Nujia is the eldest daughter-in-law of Cui's big house."
Chongzhou borders the northern Xinjiang, and it has always been a place of constant contradictions. Even if the Cui clan and the northern Xinjiang are friendly, they cannot hold back the rampant horse bandits.
Cui's eldest daughter-in-law was sent to Shangjing to give birth, how could she know that she would encounter a rare earthquake in hundreds of years!
Jiang Pengji's heart changed.
"My father is Chongzhou Mu, which is a coincidence. I will send a letter to my father later and ask Cui Clan to send someone to take you back."
For a woman, it was extremely difficult, but for Jiang Pengji, it was just an effort.
After the woman heard this, she excitedly kowtowed to Jiang Pengji a few times, almost incoherently.
Jiang Pengji looked at the child and smiled meaningfully.
She asked Qing where the woman and child lived, and accompanied them to dinner before stepping back to the county seat under the cool moonlight.
She said to the people around her, "Wen Zheng, Zishi and Zixiao called and said that I have something important to discuss with them."
The others were not in Xiangyang County at the moment, so Jiang Pengji could only call the three think tanks first.
After Jiang Pengji waited for a while, Qi Guanrang, Feng Zhen and Wei Ci appeared one after another.
The three looked at each other, wondering why Jiang Pengji had called the three of them alone.
"I want to attack the northern border."
