Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system
Chapter 11 A new subordinate appears
It was around seven or eight in the evening when he sat on the bed. Sheng Changan touched his stomach which was growling with hunger and planned to go to the kitchen to find something to eat. When he opened the door, he happened to meet a woman.
Despite the vicissitudes of life, the traces of time are clearly visible, but as if she has been specially favored, time has not left too many marks on her.
Her face is still pretty. Although her skin is not as delicate as when she was young, it still has a healthy glow. There may be fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and forehead, but they also add a touch of gentleness to her temperament, and there is a heroic spirit between her eyebrows.
In terms of appearance, although County Magistrate Wu was also good-looking, this Mrs. Wu was obviously better: "Mrs. Wu, why are you here so late?"
"I thought you might not have eaten yet, so I came here to serve you dinner." Mrs. Wu walked in slowly and placed the porridge on the table.
Sheng Changan walked over silently, took the bowl of porridge and drank it all in one gulp. A second slower would be torture for her. She didn't know whether it was Mrs. Wu's cooking skills or the food problem, but the porridge was always particularly unpalatable. Sheng Changan poured another glass of water and said, "Mrs. Wu, I heard that you also know martial arts."
"I do know a little bit," Mrs. Wu smiled gently.
A little understanding, and a little understanding again. Sheng Changan tilted his head back. Why are these people so modest? "I wonder what the chances of Madam winning against Li Dashan are?"
"It's probably evenly matched," Mrs. Wu smiled shyly. She was the one who taught him kung fu!
I see. Judging by their modesty, perhaps Mrs. Wu is more impressive. How could such a talent be stuck in the kitchen? "Speaking of which, I asked County Magistrate Wu to recruit someone to be in charge of the kitchen, and I found one."
"I found it and will come tomorrow. Speaking of which, I heard that you planned to let some children temporarily live in the county government office."
"Yes, do you have any opinion?" Speaking of this, I hope there will be something suitable for children to eat tomorrow. There is no rice thresher, and it would be a waste of manpower to peel it by hand.
"It's the new cook. It's not very convenient for her to take care of the child alone. I wonder if she can leave the child in the county government office temporarily?" Mrs. Wu asked tentatively. In fact, she felt guilty. She had asked her husband before and knew the rules, but she still wanted to ask.
"That's no problem. If you're working in the county government and the child has nowhere to go, you can bring him here," Sheng Changan responded. Seeing Mrs. Wu's cautious look, she thought something big happened!
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Wang Yi stuck his head out, "Sir, can I come in?" Fortunately, Mrs. Wu was there, otherwise he would not have dared to come over.
The corners of Sheng Changan's lips moved. "Now that you're here, how can I ask you to go back?" "Come in! What's the matter?"
Seeing Mrs. Wu getting up to leave, he immediately stopped her and said, "You stay too." After all, she also needed Mrs. Wu, so there was no need to avoid some things.
Wang Yi rubbed his hands awkwardly. "Sir, didn't you say you wanted to take in some young children? Actually, I have a few, but I'm wondering if I can bring them in."
He really had no other choice. Without food, he would always eat one meal and then go hungry for several days. Moreover, they all met the adults' requirements.
"Of course there's no problem, as long as it meets the requirements." I didn't expect that Wang Yi was young and had taken in some children. No wonder he was so skilled in holding the child today.
"They meet the requirements, thank you, sir." Wang Yi's eyes lit up. "They are at the door. I will bring them in now."
"Wait a minute," Sheng Changan looked at Wang Yi with a headache. After all, he was just a child. "Mrs. Wu, how about you help him complete this task first?"
Mrs. Wu's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again. "Isn't this a bad idea? I'm a woman."
"What does it matter? I am also a woman. Not only now, but in the future, as long as I am here, I will do things regardless of gender. I only ask you, are you willing?" Sheng Changan looked at Mrs. Wu seriously. She was willing to give this opportunity, but someone had to seize it.
"I do." Yes! The county magistrate was also a woman. She almost forgot because she usually wore grey clothes and was so thin.
Sheng Changan's expression also relaxed. "What's your name? I mean your own name."
"Li Hui" Li Hui looked at Sheng Changan with sparkling eyes.
"Li Hui, then go with Wang Yi to arrange the people." They both have the surname Li, and they are both good at martial arts. All the coincidences put together are not coincidences.
After watching the two people leave, Sheng Changan's face instantly fell. He took out a blurry, broken, and small bronze mirror from the cabinet. Why didn't she look like a woman? Although she was a little thinner and darker, looking at her facial features, she was still a beautiful woman. Looking at her big eyes, they were so bright...
Well! She really couldn't praise it anymore. When she saw the original owner, she mistook her for a beggar.
Never mind, let her grow taller. The original owner's facial features were indeed good. It's impossible for her to become ugly! Go to sleep quickly, she's still growing!
Unlike Li Hui who was obviously excited outside the door, Wang Yi was a little scared. He didn't expect that adults could be so scary when they were serious. He was so scared that his legs almost went weak.
Li Hui, who was walking in front, looked at Wang Yi who was standing there in a daze with some disdain and said, "Hurry up, there's still some porridge in the pot for the children to drink."
Wang Yi's face began to turn blue. Fortunately, someone else would be cooking tomorrow. If he hadn't been so determined not to waste food, he would have vomited the porridge. Only the adults and County Magistrate Wu could drink it in one breath. He would hesitate for a long time every time.
"Forget it, it's food after all! It's not poisonous, so just let the children endure it." Wang Yi lowered his head and dragged his body over, thinking about how to get these children to drink the porridge.
Soon the night passed, and Sheng Changan dragged his tired body to sign, "It's sweet potato." At the same time, Task 3 slowly appeared in the task bar. Sheng Changan ignored it directly, as it couldn't be completed in a short time anyway.
Her attention was focused on the sweet potatoes. She took out fifty kilograms and put them in the kitchen, and planted the rest. If this was the case, Zhang Shi would have to keep them, as there were still too few people who could use them.
Sheng Changan swallowed the porridge in the morning with a green face. She really couldn't survive the day. When would the crops in the field be ripe?
As soon as he opened the door, he found that everyone was up. Sheng Changan looked at the sky which was still dark and sighed silently: Another day of working like a slave.
Holding back his complaints, Sheng Changan began to arrange today's work. "I have two bags of sweet potatoes in my room. One bag is in the kitchen, and Zhang Shi and County Magistrate Wu will plant the other bag today."
"Since Li Dashan and I are going out, Li Hui will be in charge of recruiting for the county government. Lin Chuan, please write down the tax information as soon as possible. If you don't understand anything, you can ask County Magistrate Wu."
