Tofu Xishi: General Mo ran

Chapter 42

"Miss! You gave us all the money, so what should the Miao Mansion and you do!"

"Yes, yes, we are single, an old woman, and I won't be able to spend 20 taels of silver until I die. You can give me less. The old woman didn't lose so much yesterday!"

Several old servants who also sold into the Miao Mansion since childhood and stayed in the Miao Mansion all their lives raised objections one after another.

One is because of loyalty, and the other is, they have stayed in the Miao Mansion for a lifetime, and this suddenly made him leave, where should they go?How should I live in the future?
Miao Douer stood up, handed the booklet in her hand to Xiao Jiaozi beside her, looked at the noisy crowd, and gave them a deep blessing.

"I know, everyone has stayed in the Miao Mansion for a lifetime. Some people have even followed the Miao Mansion and seen the glory and trough of the Miao Mansion. Now, I, Miao Douer, has become the head of the Miao Mansion, and I have to work for the Miao Mansion. The whole family is responsible."

"I will give you 20 taels of silver. One is to compensate for the fire yesterday, and the other is to give everyone a way out. With this 20 taels of silver, you can buy a small courtyard in the countryside and rent a few acres of land. If you want to start a small business, These 20 taels are enough for capital.”

Miao Douer watched everyone's panicked faces gradually quiet down, and her voice was also encouraging: "If Douer is holding this money in his hand, I'm afraid it won't be enough to turn around, so I might as well break up with everyone and find their own way out. Life is easy for everyone."

At this time, the servants gradually calmed down.

Seeing that Miao Douer had already spoken almost, she opened the booklet in her hand and called out names one by one. The people who were called came to collect the money and their own contract of sale, and pressed their fingerprints on the booklet, and became free from then on. .

After a whole morning, all the loyal servants gradually dispersed.

When the people gradually dispersed, Miao Douer was holding a few thin bank notes in her hand, looking at the vast ruins in front of her with empty eyes, but her mind was relaxed.

People have misfortunes and blessings, the ancients never deceived me!
In just one day, she changed from the only daughter of the largest squire in Miaojia Town, a rich little woman with a wealth of wealth, an exquisite compound, and a beautiful shop in fertile fields, to a poor woman who even burned her house down. Clean new daughter-in-law...

Miao Douer took a deep breath, then stood up in one breath, and turned to look at the small bench and little dumpling behind him with a worried face, with a still positive smile on his face.

"I'm hungry, let's eat first!"

……

Just after noon, outside the gate of the crowded county government office, people were holding rotten eggs with vegetable leaves, eager to move.

"How come the Zhao family hasn't come out yet, and I specially brought the rotten vegetable leaves that I'm going to mix for the pigs."

"Then the Zhao family really deserves to die, the county magistrate should punish them for a serious crime! Miao's family is full of good people, how dare they burn down their house!"

"Yes, yes, have you heard? Ms. Miao's family dismissed the family members of the Miao family early in the morning, 20 taels of silver per person!"

"20 taels?! My dear...so much? Miss Miao is indeed the birth of Master Miao, why is she so kind-hearted!"

"That's right, such a good family was burned by the Zhao family who suffered thousands of knives..."

The villagers were discussing outside the gate of the county government office. At this time, a row of government officials held long sticks and ran out in two teams.

The officials of the sixth house and the third class gathered to line up the yamen, standing on both sides of the yamen lobby, knocking on the ground with long sticks in their hands, and two other officials held signs of "be quiet" and "avoid", standing upright in the yamen mouth.
