Chapter 107: New Tofu Shop Worker
Nanny Song looked at the group of children, who were dressed in rags, had pale faces and were thin. They were small, about the same size as ordinary eight-year-old children, and she felt pity for them.

"Forget it, they're just forced to make a living," sighed Nanny Song, taking out her wallet and pouring out all the copper coins. "Use this to buy something to eat."

Seeing this, the masked man in black had to let go of the child's hand, and the other men in black also let go.

The child landed on the ground with both feet, and ignoring the red marks on his neck, he stepped forward and grabbed the copper coin in Nanny Song's hand, turned around and told his friends to run away.

When the people around saw that Xiao Laizi and others had escaped again, they felt relieved and went home to continue their work while cursing.

Nanny Song bowed to the masked man in black who was leading the group.

The masked man in black dodged.

Nanny Song was puzzled, but she still said, "Thank you all for helping me find my purse. I am very grateful. How about..."

The masked man in black interrupted, "Auntie Lan, if you want to thank us, make us your famous spicy soup."

Nanny Song paused, then her eyes widened in surprise, "You, who are you?"

The masked man in black took off his veil and said, "Auntie Lan, I'm Song Jia."

Nanny Song exclaimed.

"Auntie Lan, I'll explain it to you later." Song Jia looked around, "This is not the place to talk."

Aunt Song's eyes were filled with tears. "Yes, yes, let's find a place to talk properly."

She asked, "Where do you live now?"

Song Jia said as he walked, "I stayed in the woods outside the city last night and just entered the city this morning."

When they heard that the young lady was going to stay in Wuwei temporarily, they immediately packed up their things and rushed over day and night.

"The forest is not a place to live. Don't take advantage of your youth and good health to do anything reckless. You will get sick when you get old," Nanny Song muttered. "I should have taken you to the Protector General's Mansion, but the servants of Prince Xuan's Mansion are also there, and I'm afraid they will ask questions."

Song Jia said, "Our existence must not be known to outsiders for the time being."

Nanny Song nodded. "That's what I thought too." She thought for a moment. "The young lady bought a large courtyard a month ago and planned to transform it into a tofu shop. Although the location is remote and the house is shabby, it is still much better than the wild forest."

"You guys live here first. I'll find someone to fix up the place for you and buy some furniture. You'll live there from now on."

"Tofu shop? The one that makes white and tender tofu and delicious braised food?" Song Yi stretched his head out. "Then we're in for a treat!"

Nanny Song said kindly, "Eat, eat everything. Tofu and braised food, eat as much as you want."

Song Yi cheered.

Song Bing slapped him, "Auntie Lan, don't spoil him. He keeps talking about tofu and braised food until our ears are callused. If he lets him eat as much as he wants, I'm afraid the tofu shop will be empty-handed."

Song Yi disagreed, "How can it be so exaggerated?"

"Don't worry, our young lady is capable!" Nanny Song said proudly, "Not to mention supporting just a few of you, even if there are dozens or hundreds of you, our young lady can afford it!"

Song Jia's eyes lit up.

Nanny Song told Song Jia and the others the location and then said goodbye to them.

By the time Nanny Song reached the old courtyard on Suzhi Street along the main road, Song Jia and the others had already cleared away the dead weeds in the courtyard.

"As expected of someone from our Protectorate General's Mansion, you're really efficient at work," Nanny Song stuffed the paper bag into their arms, "It's already past noon, let's have lunch quickly."

Lunch? Song Jia was puzzled. "Aren't there two meals a day?" When would we have to eat another meal at noon?
Nanny Song slapped her head and said, "I'm used to following the young lady."

She explained, "Girls are used to eating three meals a day. We all follow suit, so naturally you should do the same."

Song Yi opened the cloth bag, and the meat-filled roujiamo smelled salty and fragrant. He took a bite of most of the roujiamo, and chewed hard with his cheeks puffed out.

Although Song Jia was not used to eating three meals a day, no one would say no to eating, so they all ate heartily. "According to the itinerary, the young lady will arrive in two days. I will arrange for you to meet her then," Nanny Song handed them the newly bought water bag, "and then you will just follow her instructions."

Song Jia and others nodded.

Nanny Song waited for them to finish eating, then went to a nearby street to buy some necessities such as charcoal and a basin. She then stuffed all the money in her purse into the store and said, "If you have anything you want to buy, go ahead and buy it."

Song Jia pushed the silver back and said, "We are tough and it is a great honor for us to live here. We don't have much to buy." He added, "Even if we did, we have money."

Song Yi really wanted to ask the boss where they got the money.

Nanny Song refused to listen and said with a stern face, "Why, you don't want to listen to Auntie Lan?"

"Don't be angry," Song Jia said helplessly, "We'll just take it."

Only then did Nanny Song return to the General Protector's Mansion with a happy smile on her face.

Li Ma Ma brushed off the dust on her body and asked, "Old sister, have you bought the stone lock?"

Nanny Song slapped her head and realized she had forgotten.

"The one I used to go to moved away, and I haven't found a new one."

Nanny Li nodded. "Since the prince took over Weiwu, a lot has changed. It's normal that my elder sister can't find it."

"I lived in Wuwei with the Fifth Young Master for a while before, so I'm familiar with the place. I'll take the others with me."

Nanny Song nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Let's not talk about this anymore," Nanny Li went back to her room to change her clothes, and left the house with a few guards.

Tang Zhao finally arrived in Wuwei after being waited for day and night by Nanny Song.

The prefect of Wuwei still greeted her at the city gate and personally escorted the princess's carriage into the General Protector's Mansion. He repeatedly reminded her to let him know if she had any instructions before leaving.

The Wuwei prefect's enthusiasm was a little too much for Tang Zhao to bear.

Tang Zhao had been sitting in a carriage for several days and his waist and buttocks were sore. Chunfeng Qiuyu quickly made the bed. Tang Zhao dived into the quilt and hummed comfortably.

Nanny Song sent Chunfeng and the others downstairs to rest. She squatted beside the bed and said mysteriously, "Young lady, I have found a dozen workers for the tofu shop. I guarantee they will be obedient, serious, responsible, capable, and most importantly, loyal."

Tang Zhao was skeptical, "Is it really that good?"

Nanny Song thought about it and found a shortcoming, "It's just that he eats a lot. One meal is equivalent to three meals for others."

Tang Zhao felt relieved. Even if it was just to have a full meal every day, they probably wouldn't do anything to the tofu shop.

Tang Zhao turned over and asked, "Have you found the person in charge?"

Nanny Song volunteered, "I want to manage the tofu shop."

Tang Zhao:?
The sun comes out in the west?

"Hasn't Mammy always advised me to train new people?"

"Young lady, you want to train new people," Nanny Song nodded. "As for why this old servant wants to take over, you will know when you go and see."

Seeing that Nanny Song was unwilling to talk, Tang Zhao did not force her. He slept comfortably and took a carriage to the tofu shop after breakfast the next day.

Chao Yi, who was disliked by Nanny Song, stood in front of the gate of the General Protector's Mansion with his men, watching the princess's carriage go away with an expressionless face.

Tang Zhao asked, "Mammy, is the security in Wuwei good?"

Nanny Song smiled comfortably, "Don't worry, young lady, someone is here to protect you."

Zhao Zhao: Who will protect me?
