The little girl said that she would be a slave to Jiang Yanyi for ten years. To avoid accidents, she still had to go to the government for a record.

The number of people in each household is recorded by the government. This is also the basis for officers and soldiers to go door-to-door to check the household registration when the whole city is searched.Another point is that the government can distinguish the authenticity of household registration documents to prevent being fooled.

The little girl said she didn't have a name, Jiang Yanyi looked at her household registration documents, and found that her father hadn't really named her, and "Huo Ya" was directly written in the name column on the documents.

Jiang Yanyi asked Aunt Guo to take Huo Ya to the government to transfer Huo Ya's deed of sale.

When the person came back, she asked Huo Ya: "Do you want to change your name?"

Huo Ya was a little puzzled: "I don't have a name."

She has been with her father for many years, and has also been in contact with the servants of some rich families. She knows that once the contract of sale is signed, if the master is not satisfied with the name of the servant, he can directly change the name of the servant. I'll take a name."

She heard that Aunt Guo and Qiu Kui called Jiang Yanyi the boss, so she followed suit.

Jiang Yan thought for a while and asked her, "When is your birthday?"

Most of Huo Ya's face was covered under the shattered hair, she said: "I don't remember, my father said that the person who "licks" blood on the knife edge to make money is only born, otherwise he will have a short life. I only heard from my father that my mother is In the field of reeds in early spring gave birth to mine."

The reeds in early spring are still buds, and the ancient poems call the newly born reeds "Jia".

Jiang Yanyi said: "How about calling it Jian Jia? Jia is a reed."

Grass without long spikes is called "璹". Whether it is grass or reed, it is full of vitality in early spring.

"Huo Jianjia?" Huo Ya read the name once and nodded: "This name is nice! Thank you, Master, for giving me the name."

Jiang Yan felt that she liked the name, and was also happy in his heart, thinking that it would be inconvenient for her to wear such dirty clothes to work in the noodle shop, so he said: "After a while, you wash up and change into decent clothes before going noodle shop."

Jiang Yanyi is tall and tall, while Huo Jianjia is petite, she can't wear Jiang Yanyi's old clothes, she can only wear okra.

Okra generously wanted to give her her new clothes, but it was a pity that she had gained a lot of weight after winter, Huo Jianjia was thin and small, and her new clothes in okra were too big, so she was only in Xizhou Daying The winter clothes Shi Jiang Yanyi bought for Okra barely fit her.

Jiang Yanyi led Huo Jianjia to Mrs. Chen's shop next door, and asked Mrs. Chen to make two new clothes for her.

Huo Jianjia resisted Mrs. Chen's touch at first, but after knowing Jiang Yanyi's intentions, she cooperated, but kept silent all the time.

Mrs. Chen measured Huo Jianjia's size, and she also noticed the erythema that spread from her left cheek to her neck. She didn't say anything in front of Huo Jianjia, and only said when Jiang Yanyi paid the deposit: "I know you are soft-hearted. But there are so many hard-working people in this world, the maidservants you buy must be useful."

In Madam Chen's opinion, Qiukui is a heartless girl. This girl is as thin as a monkey. She doesn't know what to do, and she can't even face people. If she goes to work in Ruyi Building, she might scare away customers.

Jiang Yanyi said: "I know the number, please trouble Sister Chen to make this girl's clothes first."

Otherwise, Huo Jianjia only had that set of clothes and couldn't change or wash them.

Mrs. Chen said helplessly: "I can save it."

After leaving the tailor shop, Huo Jianjia finally said to Jiang Yanyi: "I have heard what my boss said. My father said that one must repay his kindness. I am here to repay my kindness. My boss doesn't have to be so kind to me."

It was the first time for Jiang Yanyi to see the hearing ability of a martial arts practitioner. She was talking to Mrs. Chen in the shop, and Huo Jianjia was watching the materials at the door, and their voices were not loud, but she heard them all.

Jiang Yanyi said: "I didn't make the clothes for you alone, all the guys who work here have them."

Hearing this answer, Huo Jianjia was stunned for a moment, and finally said: "My boss is a good person."

Huo Jianjia was taken to the noodle shop that afternoon.

Bing Shao stared at people for several days, and when he came to send Jiang Yanyi the account of the noodle shop, Jiang Yanyi asked how Huo Jianjia was there.

Bing Shao's usual facial paralysis showed an indescribable expression, "His hands and feet are diligent, and he has great strength, but he likes to beat people." He also eats a lot.

Jiang Yanyi flicked through the ledger and paused: "Hit someone?"

Bing Shao said: "Except for a few senior chefs and honest guys in the noodle shop who have not been beaten by her, everyone else has been beaten a lot."

The noodle shop finally went to a little girl, and some of the guys couldn't help teasing her, but they were all beaten up by her until they cried and cried. Now the guys in the noodle shop are afraid of Huo Jianjia. Like something.

If Dagufan robbed her of her flesh, she would be beaten, and she would be beaten for speaking ill of her behind her back, and she would give her a hammer when she teased a young woman from a good family.

Jiang Yanyi thought this little girl was very interesting, and asked, "Who does she associate with?"

Bing Shao shook his head: "I didn't find it."

Jiang Yanyi nodded, indicating that he knew.

Now there are only two possibilities, either Huo Jianjia really came to her to repay her kindness, or he hid it too well.

She suppressed these doubts for the time being, and took a written greeting card to Bing Shao: "You go to the porcelain kiln and ask them to fire a hundred pieces of colored porcelain and blue and white porcelain, and then inquire about the annual Who are the caravans that are leaving?"

If she wanted to start a porcelain kiln business, she had to first try to see if there was a market. If the caravan could sell the hundred pieces of porcelain, then she could start talking about cooperation with the porcelain kiln owner.

***

Before she knew it, she had stayed at home for more than half a month, no matter how dull Chu Yangui was, he still noticed something unusual.

When Jiang Yanyi boiled crucian carp soup and sent it to him that day, he asked, "Sister, is something wrong?"

After taking care of him for so long, he finally had some flesh on his face, but his figure was still thin. Because he had been recuperating for a long time but could not see the light, his skin was so pale that it was almost transparent.

The part where he resembles Jiang Yanyi the most is his lips, but the corners of Jiang Yanyi's mouth are always slightly raised, and he has a three-point smile even if he doesn't smile, which is bright and charming.The corners of his mouth were flattened, and there was an indescribable indifference.

Jiang Yanyi sat on the embroidery pier beside him, holding the embroidery frame in one hand, and the embroidery needle in the other hand, trying to save the suffocated embroiderer: "What could happen? See if I won't go to Ruyi Tower, I'll be in a daze all day long." At home, do you think I'm annoying?"

As soon as these words came out, Chu Yangui couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, he tried his best to explain: "Sister, that's not what I meant..."

Jiang Yanyi said this on purpose to block him, she interrupted Chu Yangui and said: "Ruyi Building is now watched by Yang Xiu, so I'll just take care of the accounts. In the future we will have to open a lot of shops, and I will pay for it." Can you watch it every day?"

In the past, Mrs. Jiang managed the shops that she married as a dowry, just letting the shopkeepers in the shops hand over the account books every other season. Chu Yangui temporarily dispelled her doubts.He saw that the auspicious cloud pattern embroidered by Jiang Yanyi was a common pattern on men's robes, and his eyes fell on it, and he became a little cold: "Sister used to be the most annoying needlework, so I can't leave it to the servants to do it." That's it."

The thread Jiang Yanyi used was too long and was knotted. She had a headache and slowly untied the knotted place, "When my embroidery work is better, I will embroider knee pads for you, uncle and grandma. "

The thread knot was untied, and Jiang Yanyi raised his head: "Look at the purse that Jiabao embroidered for us, how beautiful it is, if I embroider it too ugly, I won't be able to take it out."

Chu Jiabao also embroidered a purse for Chu Yangui, but he didn't know where he threw it.

Chu Yangui suddenly asked: "Do you want to make knee pads for the King of Liaonan?"

Jiang Yanyi had already embroidered one for Feng Shuo on his birthday, so he stopped embroidering knee pads for him during the New Year. Seeing if he could make him a dress, Jiang Yanyi shook his head and said, "I won't make knee pads for him." .”

Chu Yangui loosened his fingers, and said, "I don't want sister to marry him."

Jiang Yanyi raised his eyebrows in surprise, and said amusedly, "What's wrong?"

The corners of Chu Yangui's lips tightened: "I'm afraid he will betray my sister. He has his own ambitions and hegemony, so he can spend very little time with you. A man in this world is not good to treat sister wholeheartedly. It's not good enough for my sister."

Hearing the words of this half-grown boy, it was impossible for Jiang Yanyi not to be touched in her heart. She stopped her embroidery and said, "Thank you, let's go. He has treated me well enough, and I also believe that he will not Will bear me."

Chu Yangui was silent for a while, and said: "He has been kind to me and to the Chu family, but if he feels sorry for you in the future, I still won't let him go."

Jiang Shangshu gave him too much of a shadow, in the Jiang family, Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Shangshu almost never did not quarrel.

In this life, the most important thing in his heart is his relatives. Even if he will be said to be an ungrateful villain in the future, as long as anyone hurts his relatives, he will definitely take revenge at all costs.

Jiang Yanyi knew that he was sensitive, so she patted his head and said, "Speaking of which, you can trust the people my sister trusts."

Chu Yangui hesitated for a while, then nodded, "Can I see him?"

Although Jiang Yanyi was a little strange about Chu Yangui's request, but thinking that he had never met Feng Shuo so far, he said, "I'll tell him when he's free."

***

Feng Shuo heard that both Chi Qing and Chen Guogong mentioned Chu Yangui, and he was a little surprised that he made such a request, but he was not too surprised.

He would not refuse to go to Jiang Yanyi's place for dinner in a grand manner.

It's just that Chu Yangui didn't let him visit because of his sister's reputation, but set the place in Ruyi Building instead.

Chi Qing knew about it, and even made a joke of Feng Shuo, and successfully took over a few hard jobs for him.

Jiang Yanyi stayed at home for so long, and wanted to take this opportunity to visit Ruyi Building, so he hired a carriage, took Chu Zhong and Aunt Guo with him, and went to Ruyi Building together.

Feng Shuo rode alone in an unremarkable carriage and followed behind them.

Although there were a lot of refugees flooding into Xizhou City, after the government registered and made a list, many strong and strong people went to build the city defense. , Those who are still in the city are mostly old and weak women and children.

As they passed by an alley, a carriage suddenly rushed out of the alley and slammed into Jiang Yanyi's car.
