Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

Cheng Wan stood up holding Gu Yu's hand and saw four neat and tidy girls walking in one after another.

"Girl, we are going home. Thank you for your help."

The four girls knew that Cheng Wan didn't like them kneeling to her, so they just stood and lowered their heads slightly.

"You've said thank you too many times. It just happened to me."

Cheng Wan took Gu Yu two steps forward with a gentle voice.

The government servant who sent the four girls home was still waiting outside the inn, so the four girls did not dare to waste too much time.

Cheng Wan stood at the door and watched the four girls walk away.

Just as the four girls were about to turn the corner and go downstairs, the girl who had her little finger cut off suddenly turned around and ran back.

"Girl, if I go home and the house can't accommodate me, can I come to you?

I can also work for you like the two of them.

The missing part on my left hand is my little finger, which doesn’t affect my work, really! "

This girl was only twelve or thirteen years old, and the innocence and happiness in her eyes had completely disappeared, replaced by fear, uneasiness, and haggard.

Cheng Wan felt sour in her heart and nodded with a smile.

"Okay, my family lives in Pingnan Village, not far from Shuoyang City. You can go to the village to find me."

The girl nodded vigorously and repeated the name of Pingnan Village several times with her hands clenched, as if she was holding on to some escape route.

After the four girls left, Cheng Wan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go too."

The place where the carriages were parked at the inn.

"Shaoqing, I'm going on a long trip. I'll be back in about eight days. You take Suisui back home first, and I'll pick him up when I get back."

Shaoqing paused as he prepared to mount his horse.

He turned around suddenly and said in surprise: "Miss Cheng, where are you going? Why does it take so long? Is there anything important to do? It's cold. If you have anything to do, I'll do it for you."

Cheng Wan blinked and thought, "Look, why didn't I notice that Shaoqing was so concerned about her affairs before?

I haven't even asked his young master about this, but he can actually make his own decisions and do things for him?

He is not worried about his young master disapproving at all. "

"I'm going to Yingqiu to do something. I'll ask my second and third brothers to accompany me."

Shaoqing wanted to say something more, but Cheng Wan quickly stopped.

"However, I really have something to ask you."

Shaoqing hurriedly patted his chest, "Miss Cheng, if you have any questions, just ask, I will definitely know everything and tell you everything!"

Cheng Wan pointed to the carriage compartment, "These two girls have no house or land, and they are both single now. Can they open a new household?"

In the carriage carriage, Osmanthus fragrans and Yanqiu's hearts were in their throats.

If they cannot set up a household and have no household registration, it will be almost impossible for them to move forward.

“I have no house, no land, and I am alone…

Generally, people in this situation are mostly slaves or lowly..."

Cheng Wan frowned, "What if there is an underage boy?"

Shaoqing scratched the back of his head and said, "Young men can't get land, and they have no house or land.

Miss Cheng, to establish a household, you must first have property to establish a household, even if the property is shared with others. "

In the carriage, Guihua and Yanqiu looked at each other and immediately understood what each other meant.

Osmanthus opened the car curtain, looked at Cheng Wan, and said seriously: "Girl, we are willing to become slaves, as long as we can stay with you."

"Yes!

You can become a customer! "

As soon as Guihua finished speaking, Shaoqing said with bright eyes.

"client?"

Cheng Wan repeated these two words, looking puzzled.

Osmanthus fragrans and Yanqiu at the entrance of the carriage also looked confused.

“Customer is a household registration specially opened for those who make a living by working for others.

To be a customer, you must have a corresponding main account.

For example, if two girls establish clients and they work for you, Miss Cheng, and you pay them wages, then you are their main client.

Once you establish a customer, you are not allowed to transfer to a private account for five years, and you can only change the main account.

After five years, if the customer wants to transfer to a private household, the principal householder cannot stop him.

The owner is not allowed to kill his own customers at will.

Within five years, the owner can fire the customer, but the customer cannot leave voluntarily, otherwise he will be regarded as a runaway slave.

If you meet a conscientious owner, there is almost no difference between the customer and ordinary private households.

But if you are unlucky and encounter a shady owner, the customer may not get paid or even go hungry working for the owner.

This involves gambling, so most people will be cautious when setting up clients. "

Cheng Wan turned to look at Guihua and Yanqiu, "Do you understand?"

Osmanthus fragrans and Yanqiu nodded in unison.

“I can promise you that as long as my business continues and you do what you are supposed to do, I will definitely pay you your wages on time and will not let you work in vain.

You can consider it. "

"Don't think about it, I do!

Girl, I do! "

Yanqiu said almost impatiently.

Osmanthus fragrans also hurriedly expressed her position, "I am willing too!

Girl, this is already an excellent result.

Even if the girl doesn't pay me wages, I am still willing to work for the girl.

Being with the girl makes me feel at ease. "

"Me too! Me too!

Girl, I can work for you for free! "

Yanqiu quickly expressed her "loyalty".

Cheng Wan chuckled and shook his head, thinking: "Sure enough, I'm still too naive. If I were that kind of unscrupulous capitalist, I might not pay my wages."

Shaoqing is very satisfied with Guihua and Yanqiu's attitude.

In Shaoqing's heart, it was their luck and blessing that Osmanthus fragrans and Yanqiu could stay with Cheng Wan and work for Cheng Wan.

"Miss Cheng, to establish a client, you need to bring your household registration book and go to the county government office with these two girls."

Cheng Wan carries the household registration book with him.

Nowadays, the world is in chaos and a large number of refugees have entered Liangzhou, so Liangzhou's interrogation of people entering the city is much stricter than before.

Without a household registration book, it is impossible to enter the city.

When people from outside the county enter the city, in addition to household registration, they also need road guidance.

This household register is divided into a general register and an individual register.

The general register is based on households and is issued by the government.

The personal register is based on individuals and is issued by the village chief of each village.

Everyone over the age of seven, regardless of gender, has a personal register.

If you are under seven years old and want to enter the city, you need to be brought by someone with a household registration.

With Shaoqing leading the way, Osmanthus fragrans and Yanqiu established their clients smoothly.

After receiving the household registration book, the two girls touched it carefully, smiling with a sense of stupidity.

This time I came to the county government office not only to find clients for Guihua and Yanqiu.

Cheng Wan also provided a road guide.

If you don't do it, you have no choice. You can't enter the city at all, and you can't stay in a hotel. You can only sleep in the wild on the road, or if you are lucky enough to encounter a village, you can spend money to stay in the villagers' homes.

Of course, the premise is that the villagers agree.

Fortunately, the road guide did not require everyone traveling to be present, otherwise we would have to go back and ask Deng Xiong and Cheng Erping to come.

Cheng Wan never thought that Cheng Erping and Deng Xiong might not be willing to go to Yingqiu with her.

Teenage men, they long to get out and about more.
