At the beginning, I saved a little mute

Tongzhu Tiezhu was already panicking, and after being stared at by him, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

Tiezhu moved closer to his brother. Although he didn't understand why his brother suddenly did this, he still listened to his brother closely.

Tongzhu had already thought it through. He and his brother could not do anything in Dingzhou City. It was impossible for them to steal, even if they were beaten to death.

But I was too young to be hired to work.

This was not the first time something like what happened during the day had happened, but every time they tried their best to defend themselves they still ended up being wrongly accused.

Tongzhu had thought about joining Li Duyan's gang countless times, at least to have enough food to eat, but when he thought of his mother's last words before her death, he never took that step.

He wants to be an upright person.

He also tried to sell himself, but a kid like him could only do odd jobs in Nanfeng Pavilion or be an apprentice, and be beaten and scolded.

He had seen an apprentice who was beaten half crippled by his master, who also extorted half a string of silver from the family, saying that the goods did not meet the customer's requirements and demanded compensation.

After that, Tongzhu never thought about selling himself in Dingzhou City.

He had seen too many people selling themselves unreasonably, and none of them had a good ending in the end.

However, what happened during the day gave him a new assessment.

Maybe this is an opportunity.

Tongzhu followed them and watched as their purses were stolen.

In fact, if Tongzhu had shouted out at that time, the two people in front of him might have been able to get their purses back, but Tongzhu hesitated.

He wanted to find a way out for himself and his brother.

That's why he thought of selling himself. He could see that the two people in front of him valued human life more than anyone he had ever met. If he followed them, perhaps he could have a chance to survive.

Otherwise, he might not have seen his brother live to adulthood.

Even though he lived frugally, his younger brother was only slightly taller than him and often had to drink water out of hunger at night.

He had no other choice.

However, Tongzhu himself was only a child born a moment earlier than Tiezhu. Kneeling here and praying had already exhausted all his courage in this life.

He waited anxiously.

It was as if the two people above were the ones who could decide his future fate.

Jiang Zao couldn't bear to watch, so she pulled on Que Yunsheng's sleeve. It was the first time she saw such a child, even Chunyu was bought and given to them by Xie Chengjing, and the contract of sale was still in her hands.

But the two in front of me are too small.

In Jiang Zao's concept, there is no such thing as human trafficking, but it seems unreasonable not to accept someone who comes to his door.

Que Yunsheng nodded at Jiang Zao.

Then he said, "You have seen that Miss Jiang is the master of my family. From now on, you will be the slaves of the Jiang family. Your indentures will be kept by Miss Jiang. Of course, being a slave of the Jiang family is not that easy."

The copper pillars and iron pillars listened with eyes wide open.

"First of all, I must be loyal to Miss Jiang. If my opinion is different from Miss Jiang's, I will naturally listen to Miss Jiang..."

Jiang Zao moved slightly and wanted to say something, but didn't open his mouth.

Tongzhu and Tiezhu nodded repeatedly.

"Secondly, you must take good care of Miss Jiang. If you are clumsy, I will kick you two brothers out at any time." These words were spoken sternly, and the two brothers nodded rapidly.

Que Yunsheng's face was serious, and he said solemnly, "Third, if anyone has dirty hands, don't blame me for being merciless and selling them out directly."

The copper pillar knocked his head against the iron pillar, making a loud bang. "Don't worry, young master. My mother taught us not to do anything sneaky. Remember it well."

Seeing this, Que Yunsheng's expression eased a little.

He gave the two brothers some food and water and asked them to keep watch on his behalf.

Of course he couldn't fall asleep himself, he just leaned against the door of the carriage to keep watch for Jiang Zao and observe the two little boys.

The next morning, when Jiang Zao was still drowsy, Que Yunsheng woke up Chunyu to look after Jiang Zao, and he took the two little boys to sign the indentureship.

He had been to the yamen once, and although it was a different yamen, Que Yunsheng was already familiar with it.

It will be done soon.

When they reached the carriage, they drove it to a creek and asked Chunyu to prepare breakfast while the other two little boys went to the river to wash themselves first.

"Why did you accept them?" Jiang Zao asked puzzledly. She had held it in all last night and hadn't asked because, firstly, the two children hadn't slept, and secondly, she was afraid that the children would feel uncomfortable if they heard it.

She originally just wanted to give them some food and money to thank them, but how did it turn out like this, with two freshly-issued indentures in her hands?

Her palms were burning.

He actually had three servants.

This is completely different from my previous life when I had to rely on myself to work hard.

"We will arrive in Fufeng County soon. I will report to the military camp. You are a girl and Chunyu is just a little girl. I am worried about the two of us at home. It would be better if there was a male servant."

Que Yunsheng originally had the idea of ​​buying two servants when he arrived in Fufeng County, but that would cost money, and their family was poor, and they could not afford to buy a house and a shop.

Now there are two free laborers at home, so even if you are not strong, you can make you strong.

Moreover, the two little brothers were rescued by Jiang Zao. They are still young and easier to train, and will be more loyal to Jiang Zao in the future.

Judging from their character, he also hinted at it in the yamen, and it turned out that there was a yamen runner there who happened to know the two brothers and had a good reputation.

Anyway, now that I have the indenture contract in hand, they can’t do anything to me.

The two brothers took a bath, changed into two new sets of clothes, and looked much more energetic.

But even if we buy clothes according to their age, they are still much larger.

It seems empty.

The two also got new names. The shorter brother was called Mo Bai and the taller brother was called Mo Shan.

The two brothers are seven years old this year, but they look only five years old.

Chunyu cooked breakfast, and the two brothers finally had the fullest meal in three years.

After the meal, I immediately went to wash the dishes quickly.

After dinner, the two followed Que Yunsheng and sat in the front of the carriage.

Que Yunsheng wanted to teach them how to drive a carriage.

Fufeng County is right in front of us.

This place is much smaller than Dingzhou City. It doesn’t look like a county town at all, but more like a small town.

In fact, Anxing Town is much bigger than here, with only three or four streets in total, one for selling things and one for living.

The county government office and a few slightly wealthier families were at the other end.

It takes less than a quarter of an hour to walk through the entire county.

Jiang Zao couldn't hide the disappointment in her eyes. This place was too poor. Even if she wanted to buy a shop and do business, it would be difficult to make money.

Que Yunsheng first found an inn and asked for two rooms.

The two brothers took him to live with them, and Chunyu and Jiang Zao lived in a separate room.

They didn't know yet that their carriage would attract a lot of people when it arrived in the county town.

After all, such a carriage is considered super luxurious here.

Someone with ulterior motives has already been keeping an eye on them.

But Jiang Zao and his group didn’t know it yet.
