After the separation, my wardrobe is modern

Chapter 158 Sent to Mining Again

The aroma of the food wafted out quickly. There were far more guests than expected today. The dozen or so dishes I had prepared could not be cooked, so I simply made them into a big pot of stew. The brown sugar, jujube and glutinous rice Serve it as dessert.

But even so, the pig that Lin Xiaoman prepared was barely enough, and it was impossible for people to eat and take it at all.

When the banquet was about to end, Lin Xiaoman found the two women and called them aside.

The two women lowered their heads, not daring to meet Lin Xiaoman's gaze.

Lin Xiaoman has eaten well this year, and has grown a lot taller. He measured 1.6 meters five over there, and he stands out from the crowd here where the general height is less than 1.6 meters.

At this time, I just saw the tops of the two women's hair, Lin Xiaoman asked: "You are working in the current master's house, don't you have enough to eat?"

The two women raised their heads in horror and shook their heads, "No, the Lord's family treats us very well. We eat well, live well, and live easily."

Lin Xiaoman knew they weren't telling the truth, but they didn't want to tell the truth, and Lin Xiaoman wouldn't force them to tell. He could only say that she wanted to help them, but they refused.

Bring them bowls and basins, both filled with rice, "Take it, go back and make porridge."

The two women looked at each other, made up their minds at this moment, and suddenly knelt down in front of Lin Xiaoman, "Girl, please help us, the master treats us harshly and doesn't give us enough to eat. I didn’t pay a single penny for the wages of twenty Wen. Our two families are living a hard life, if this continues, the whole family will starve to death.”

Lin Xiaoman was a little surprised, "Didn't you pay me a penny? Didn't the people in the county government say that the wages should be paid by the day?"

The two women shook their heads, "No, the two families we worked with are vicious. They told us that they were implicated in an anti-poetry case, so they let us work in vain. Said, and threatened us, if we dare to talk about it outside, we will say that our family is not dead, and we are thinking of rebelling against the court. Dig wild vegetables by the fields to eat."

Lin Xiaoman couldn't believe that there were such vicious people in the village, and blushed with anger, "Don't be afraid, I told the magistrate about this matter, if they dare to threaten you again, you will go to the magistrate sue them."

The woman smiled wryly, "But we were exiled here, and because of such a case, will the magistrate believe us?"

Lin Xiaoman smiled, "The county magistrate is very aware of every detail, and will never wrong a good person, nor tolerate a bad person, so don't worry."

As soon as the words were finished, the two women put the bowls in Lin Xiaoman's hands, turned around and ran into the yard, which confused Lin Xiaoman.

Until I heard them shouting from the yard: "My lord, we have been wronged. The master does not give us food and deducts our wages. I beg you to make the decision for us. We want to change the master... ..."

After hearing the two women's complaints, Lu Jin didn't expect that at first he thought it was the Lord who treated them harshly and didn't give them enough food, but he didn't expect that even their wages were deducted.

Afraid that the two of them would sue, and threatened the two of them with that despicable means.

Lu Jin sent people to arrest the head of the two women's house for interrogation. Facing the furious Lu Jin, the two men were too frightened to make a sound, and they did everything they threatened.

Lu Jin sentenced to double compensation for the wages owed, as compensation for not giving him enough food these days.

He also ordered people to drag the men who were in charge of the two families down to beat the boards, and then sent them to Dongshan to mine, and they could only be released after a year of digging.

Lin Xiaoman was also speechless, how persistent is Lu Jin sending someone to mine?It is said that mining there is particularly bitter.Once upon a time, someone stole chickens and dogs in the village, and was later sent to mine.When he was released, he was dark and thin, exhausted and out of shape. When others mentioned mining, he would tremble a few times, and he never dared to steal even a piece of grass from other people's houses.

Those two exiled families were very grateful, and offered to come to Lin Xiaoman's house to work in front of everyone.

Lin Xiaoman is not afraid that they will bring hatred to her. The two families in the village are just bullying and fearing the hard. They really want to take revenge on her. She will not take them to grow new food and vegetables next year.

Sure enough, those two families were as frightened as quails. Not only did they not dare to express their dissatisfaction with Lin Xiaoman, they even came to Lin Xiaoman secretly, hoping that she would intercede for their family and let the county magistrate not blame them.

Lin Xiaoman slapped them a few words, but didn't mention that they won't take them to plant new crops next year.

Lin Xiaoman prepared two large packages of sorghum glutinous rice in bulk, and packed them, and each of the guests who left grabbed a small handful.

It's sweet, chewy and chewy, and it's amazing to eat.

"Xiaoman, how do you make this candy? Do we want to sell candy in our village?"

Lin Xiaoman shook his head with a smile, "I don't know, I bought these at the market before, why don't I ask around later?"

"I bought it at the market..." The man couldn't hide his disappointment. Since he bought it at the market, someone else was selling it. Even if he made it and sold it, he probably didn't grow vegetables to make money, so he just followed Xiao Man honestly. Grow vegetables.

Lu Jin also took two pieces of sorghum syrup, and after taking a bite, he felt that the toffee flavor from Lin Xiaoman's before was not as good, so he gave the remaining piece to Qing Shu.

Qing Shu grabbed a handful in one hand, and was chewing vigorously, a piece was stuffed in his hand, knowing that the master didn't like it very much, so he ate it happily.

Although Miss Xiaoman said she bought it at the market, she hadn't seen it sold at the market, maybe she figured it out by herself, but she didn't have time to do it at the moment, so she said she made it herself, and others wanted to learn from her.

The apprentice of the church starved to death of the master, and Miss Xiaoman must want to keep it to make money for herself in the future.

Before seeing off the guests, Lu Jin and Qing Shu were not in a hurry to leave, and Lin Erhu's classmates were not in a hurry either, they all wanted to have a few words with the county magistrate.

Some of them passed the Tongsheng examination and are waiting for the government examination early next month.Some of them failed the Tongsheng examination, and it would be great if they could find a job in the yamen.

Lu Jin stayed here because he wanted to have a few words with Lin Xiaoman, but he was surrounded by a group of scholars.

Hearing their clumsy compliments, Lu Jin got goosebumps all over his body when he was praised. He really is a group of young people who have never seen the evil in people's hearts, and there is a little stupidity in their innocence.

When she learned that some of them wanted to work in the Yamen, Lu Jin felt a little embarrassed.

If it is said that there may still be vacancies in the original yamen, but before he came, those vacancies in the yamen had been filled long ago, and the people were transferred from the capital by himself. Jinshi was born.

Whether it is ability or knowledge, they are not comparable to these fledgling youngsters.

But such words can't be said directly, what if it hits the fragile hearts of the young boys?
