Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

Everyone inquired about Lu Qingqing's identity.

I don’t know who said that Lu Qingqing seems to be a widow who came to Qizhou City to settle down alone with her servants.

Many people felt sorry to hear that such a beautiful person was a widow.

Lu Qingqing walked far away and had no idea that she had been identified by this group of people as a widow whose husband had died.

"Master went back and asked Aunt Wang to make some pastries. Aunt Wang's skills are really incredible."

"Why are you helping me again?" Lu Qingqing said jokingly, looking at Xia Yun's yearning face.

The carriage was swaying towards the fishing village. At this time, the Qingshui couple were carrying the only old hen in the family to the gate of Zhuangzi. They looked at the red lacquered gate and began to have trouble.

"Brother Qingshui, do you think it's appropriate for us to go like this?"

Qingshui's wife timidly asked her husband beside her.

The man coughed twice, then bravely stepped forward and knocked on the door. The person who opened the door was the nursing home he bought a while ago.

"Who are you looking for?"

"We, we are... here to thank your master."

The guards inside the door looked at the hens they were holding, looking timid, and said with a smile that their master had not returned from the town today.

At this time, Qingshui's daughter-in-law thought that today was the Hairpin Festival in the town.

I guess...

At this moment, Lingfeng drove the carriage towards Zhuangzi, and saw two people standing in front of the gate from a distance.

"Master, it seems that someone has come to our village."

Lu Qingqing wondered who was looking for him?

The carriage soon stopped in front of the door. Several maids jumped out of the carriage and helped their master get out of the carriage.

Lu Qingqing felt relieved when she saw the couple in front of the door.

"So it's you! Come in."

After saying that, he called the couple to walk towards the yard. The two of them looked at Lu Qingqing timidly, with a trace of unnaturalness on their faces.

Xia Yun noticed their embarrassment and stepped forward with a chuckle, letting them into the house.

"come in."

She led the couple towards the front hall, where Lu Qingqing had just sat down when Nanny Feng walked in with tea. Since the master was pregnant, she had been drinking tea from the space.

"Husband... Madam, the two of us are here today to thank Madam for saving his life. If it hadn't been for Madam that day, my husband would have died long ago."

As she spoke, the woman pulled her husband, who was dazed and did not dare to raise his head, to kneel down.

Lu Qingqing motioned to Ziyue next to her to help the two of them up. Ziyue stepped forward and helped them up. The couple looked at Lu Qingqing sheepishly and handed over the old hen they had brought.

"Madam, our family has nothing to thank Madam. This old hen is left here for Madam to recuperate."

Looking at the simple two people in front of her, she smiled lightly and called for them to sit down and chat.

"I can't take this hen. I understand your concerns. Take this back. I know your life will not be easy."

Lu Qingqing's considerate words made the two of them feel warm. They thought that this lady was a difficult person to interact with, but unexpectedly she had a very gentle temper.

Qing Shui stuttered and said: "Madam, although my family is poor, fortunately we can still have enough food and clothing. You have to accept this chicken no matter what, otherwise we will feel uneasy!"

When Lu Qingqing heard the man's words, she looked at the woman next to her and nodded in agreement. She had no choice but to let Ziyue take the hen.

Then she asked Ziyue to go to the back and bring some fresh vegetables from the house back to the couple to try. The two quickly waved their hands and said no.

Xia Yun persuaded the two of them that the vegetables at home are different from those outside, "You can take them back and try them."

The couple stood up embarrassedly, rubbing their clothes in embarrassment, a little at a loss. They were obviously here to thank someone, but instead...

"We all live in the same village. Don't think so much. I will inevitably trouble you if anything happens in the future."

The couple looked at each other as honest people, and they responded repeatedly, asking Lu Qingqing to let her know if anything happened in the future, and they would definitely arrive.

Ziyao and Biyun looked at the couple in front of them with pursed lips and chuckles.

At this time, Ziyue came in from outside carrying a basket with various vegetables in it, and Nanny Feng also helped put a few apples in it.

This surprised the two of them, their eyes were sharp and at a loss, and they reluctantly accepted it until Lu Qingqing persuaded them.

The two of them did not stay any longer. Lu Qingqing thanked him and left Zhuangzi.

Lu Qingqing was also a little tired that day, so she got up and walked towards her courtyard, telling a few maids to wake her up during dinner.

"Yes, master."

After saying that, Biyun sent the person back to the room until the master fell asleep, then sat in front of the window with a sewing basket and began to do embroidery.

At this time, many people in Zuiqian Pavilion in the town were trying to find out about Lu Qingqing from the shopkeeper and waiter, but Xie Kui blocked them all, saying that it was his boss and not revealing anything else.

"It turns out that girl runs Zui Qian Pavilion."

The eyes of several people flickered with a hint of admiration. Not only was this woman beautiful, but she also had certain skills in business. It was evident from the fact that Zui Qian Pavilion became so popular not long after it opened.

Lu Qingqing didn't know that she had been targeted by someone who wanted to do it. After hearing their conversation, the brother and sister had a plan in mind.

"Brother, I didn't expect that woman to be a rich widow! Huh!"

The girl curled her lips in disdain and kept mumbling beside her brother.

These brothers and sisters are the young master and young lady from the Li Mansion in the east of the city. Speaking of the Li family in the east of the city, they are the richest people in Qizhou City. However, the family business has been declining in the past two years.

The master of the Li Mansion looked worried and said to his two sons, whoever has the ability to bring the Li Mansion's business back to life will be the heir of the Li Mansion from now on, regardless of whether he is a direct descendant or a concubine.

This made Li Chengqian very anxious. His second brother Li Chenghuai was a concubine, which made the eldest lady unwilling to live in this room. She has been thinking of ways recently.

In addition, in order to prevent her son from losing the right to inherit, the eldest lady has already begun to make arrangements for her daughter to find a good family. She must find a well-matched and wealthy family, so that she can help her son in the future.

If the son of that little bitch in the backyard was made the heir, would the three of them, mother and son, be able to live happily ever after?

"Brother, why don't you try to capture that widow, so that with her financial support and business skills, you can help brother..."

Although he didn't quite agree with what his sister Li Yu'er said, there seemed to be no better way at the moment. His mother wanted him to marry the second daughter of the Zhou family.

But Master Zhou never gave them a clear answer that year, and presumably he was not very satisfied with her.

Li Chengqian's eyes were gloomy, and he held the folding fan tightly in his hand, thinking about his sister's words. Li Yu'er looked at his brother beside him, knowing that he had also listened to what he said.
