I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 165 Yes

"The advisor of County Magistrate Deng." Shen Changshou had some impression of this man.

When Shen Xiaoye mentioned it, the image of Master Yi flashed through his mind. He was a gentle and refined man with a short beard. He looked several years older than his uncle, but definitely no more than forty years old.

“Maybe it was really him, because he was the one who helped me get the pass to leave the country.

Although he speaks Mandarin well, he can't help but have some Mingzhou accent. Later, when I left, I heard someone call him Brother Zhiyao. "Shen Xiaoye turned his head to look at Yuan and found that the other party was looking at him nervously and expectantly.

She nodded slightly, then turned back to Shen Changshou and said, "Should I tell the truth, but what if others call me by my courtesy name instead of my full name? Wouldn't that disappoint Aunt Yuan?"

"It's better than her never being able to find anyone." Shen Changshou had looked for his sister and brother-in-law before, and he knew best that even the slightest bit of information was hope.

Shen Xiaoye thought for a moment, then went to ask Yuan and told her what she knew.

Yuan immediately grasped her hands and said, "Miss Shen, is he from the county government? He is five feet one inch tall, with a long and thin face, a short white beard, and starry eyes."

My fourth uncle measured the length using a clothes tape and found that one foot is about 34 centimeters, and five feet and one inch is a little over meters. But his eyes were full of stars, so it remains to be seen.

After thinking about it, Shen Xiaoye said, "Yes, but I don't know if they are the same person, courtesy name and given name..."

"My husband's courtesy name is Zhangde." Yuan was so happy and excited that she cried.

Shen Xiaoye slowly comforted her and finally stopped her tears.

Yuan wiped away her tears with one hand and bowed deeply to her, "Miss, you are so kind, I will repay you in the future."

After saying that, she ran away at a very fast speed, not even caring about the bucket. Miraculously, she passed by a place where there was no lantern hanging, and she was not affected at all.

Shen Xiaoye was a little worried, so she said something to her uncle and picked up two buckets of water to chase after him. However, Yuan had already resigned from her job with the manager. The manager was very dissatisfied with her behavior and said that if she decided to leave, she would not be paid for the first two days' wages.

"Mr. Yi, let's say it's half an hour before the siege. If you leave now, three days' work will be in vain." The housekeeper's voice was quite cold, but what she said was very reasonable.

Several kitchen helpers tried to persuade Yuan, but she was too embarrassed to say that her heart was pounding and she couldn't concentrate on her work.

Shen Xiaoye brought the water in and put it down, and changed her address. She knew that Yuan deliberately reported her husband's surname in front of outsiders to show that she had a husband by her side, which was also a way to protect herself. "Aunt Yi, it's not a big deal."

"Hey, hey, hey, the kitchen is a restricted area and no outsiders are allowed to enter!" The housekeeper shouted at her to stop her from going any further. The two people closest to the door blocked her way with a tactful look.

Shen Xiaoye immediately stopped and walked out of the door, saying, "Excuse me, I'm here to look for Aunt Yi.

I am a guest staying here, and I would like to ask her to help me make two bowls of plain noodles."

"Miss Shen, I am now..." Before Yuan finished her words, she attracted the attention of many people in the kitchen.

Of course, everyone was not looking at her, but Shen Xiaoye, who was wearing a boy's robe. Because it was cold, she was wearing thick clothes and a neck warmer, so if you didn't pay attention, you couldn't tell whether she was a boy or a girl.

Yuan was distracted for a moment and now realized that she had called the wrong name. She hurriedly whispered to the housekeeper that she would go out for a while.

As soon as the housekeeper nodded, the chef in charge of the white case in the kitchen said, "Girl, you sold a lot of cheap cloth in the outer city before the New Year."

"Yes, uncle, you have a good eye." Shen Xiaoye replied with a smile. She always smiles to all her former and future customers.

Everyone looked at the master chef, and someone remembered, so he asked, "The cheap cloth you bought was hers."

The chef laughed and nodded, then walked over and waved for her to come in, "Let me tell you, your red printed fabric is really good, my kids like it.

Even if I couldn't find it in your store later, the same fabric was 20 or 30 cents more expensive in other stores.

Especially this time, I couldn’t even get a red cloth. Do you have any more red cloth?”

"No more." Shen Xiaoye sighed secretly. Business opportunities are fleeting and she didn't catch up this time. Of course, if possible, she hopes that there will be no such business opportunities in the future. The government troops are tired from fighting, but the civilians suffer the most.

The master chef didn't just ask one thing, "Are there any more cyan and lotus-colored prints?

We want to buy some for quilt covers and robes."

"Yes." As soon as Shen Xiaoye finished speaking, several people were excited. Before the New Year, they were working during the day and did not see her stall, or they did not pay attention at that time.

The housekeeper came to the door quickly, waved away the other two and said, "Young lady, I want two horses too. Are you still charging 360 coins a horse?"

"Now, a piece of top-quality fine cloth, 320 wen, is enough.

If you want, I will bring a few to you tomorrow afternoon. If you don’t like them, just wait until the next time I come to Beijing.” Shen Xiaoye was very willing.

The chef was a little hesitant, but the housekeeper said, "That's right. Thank you for taking the trouble to make the trip." She also asked everyone who wanted one, and after discussing it in a low voice, several people reported a number.

Although the amount she wanted was small, Shen Xiaoye didn't mind. No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat, so she wrote them down one by one.

The housekeeper was also a wonderful person. She pushed Yuan out of the door and talked to her aside.

"Miss Shen, thank you for helping me out." Yuan gradually calmed down.

Shen Xiaoye didn't dare to take credit for it. "There are many good people in the world. The old woman just now is one of them. The people here are not bad either."

The lower-class people work together to make a living and they naturally belong to the same class. In many cases, everyone is willing to lend a hand or say a few good words.

She said a few more words of comfort, and seeing that Yuan had really recovered, she said goodbye and left.

But not long after, Yuan really sent two large bowls of plain noodles to her guest room and said that she was going to get off work and go to Linghe County the next day.

Shen Xiaoye pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't you take your two little sisters to live in Lu's house? They can help us cook. I will go back the day after tomorrow and we can go together."

"This... is a trouble to you, young lady." Yuan was able to travel thousands of miles to find her husband, so she had enough rationality to judge what was beneficial to her.

The two exchanged a few more words before she thanked him again and again and left.

Shen Xiaoye then knocked on the door next door and invited her uncle to have dinner with her. Another night passed and they checked out early and went into the city.

Unexpectedly, when we arrived at Lu Guan's private residence, Yuan and her two children were already waiting there, and they had prepared several different kinds of breakfast.

After Shen Xiaoye had a delicious meal, he and his uncle split up, one went out of the north gate to find the military camp, and the other went to Jiejia Hutong to get the 500 pieces of cloth.

Ten miles out of the north gate of the capital and not far to the west is the Wujunying Camp. This is the real important place, with chevaux de frise set up in the distance.

The little black cat and the little leopard followed her. Before the two little ones came close, they pricked up their ears. The little leopard, in particular, scratched the car floor with its claws, whimpering.

Shen Xiaoye couldn't help but ask the little black cat: "What's wrong with it?"
