After being reborn with Sister Zha, I was stunned!

Inside the city gate, next to the bustling crowd.

A young boy, about eleven or twelve years old, wearing thin clothes and with a straw tag on his head, was holding the hand of a little girl, about four or five years old.

The girl was wearing an old padded jacket, but it was obviously not warm enough and her little face was red from the cold.

He was sniffling through his nose and sobbing.

The boy squatted down and wiped the girl's tears, comforting her: "Don't cry, little sister. When someone is willing to buy your brother, we will have something to eat."

The little girl cried even harder when she heard that.

"Wuwuwu, brother, I don't want to leave you..."

The young man stroked the girl's head and said, "Silly sister, I will not leave you. I am just going to earn money. With the money we earn, we can survive."

As the young man spoke, he looked expectantly at the people coming and going at the city gate.

Seeing Shen Qingyin walking straight towards them, he hurriedly said, "Are you looking to hire someone? I'm not afraid of hard work, I can do any odd jobs!"

Shen Qingyin stood in front of the two of them and shook his head, saying, "I don't buy anyone."

After hearing this, the young man couldn't help showing disappointment.

"I want to buy this, are you willing to sell it to me?" Shen Qingyin said, pointing to a necklace hanging around the little girl's neck.

The boy was startled and blushed: "This, this is just something I strung together with grass beads to amuse my sister. It's not worth much..."

The girl was smart enough to take off the necklace immediately and handed it to Shen Qingyin: "Sell it, we will sell it!"

Shen Qingyin took the necklace and happily wrapped it around her wrist.

He turned around and glanced at Fan'er, who immediately understood and took out her purse.

"Give them five ounces of silver."

Fan'er agreed and took out a few pieces of silver, which totaled about five taels, and handed them to the girl.

The girl took it happily.

The young man was stunned for a moment before he understood.

He held the little girl's hand, knelt down, and wanted to thank Shen Qingyin for his kindness.

However, Shen Qingyin had already left with the crowd and walked out of the city again.

"Now our purses are empty..."

Although she knew her young lady's temper well, Fan'er still felt a little sorry for the money.

Shen Qingyin smiled and said, "It's okay if it's empty. The monthly allowance should be issued in the next two days."

The boy is at an age when he needs to eat a lot but has difficulty working. It would not be easy for him to sell his body, not to mention that he has a younger sister who is a burden to him.

Looking at these two children, she couldn't ignore them in her previous life, and she still can't ignore them in this life.

"It's easy for you to say that. Your monthly salary is only two taels. You have saved this money for a long time, and now it's all gone in a flash..."

"Let's go now, you're such a nagging girl..."

In a carriage not far behind, an old lady with gray hair but a rosy face squinted her eyes and looked at Shen Qingyin's back, nodding frequently:

"Okay, okay, this girl is really good!"

A servant in green outside the carriage asked happily, "So you like it too?"

"What do you think?" The old lady smiled but did not answer...

In the carriage parked on the side of the road, Mrs. Du complained to Shen Qingyin, who had just returned and had not yet gotten into the carriage.

"You are already so old, can you understand a little? If you go too late and the princess blames you, can you bear the consequences? I really shouldn't have brought you here, you are just wasting time!"

In the carriage passing by, the old lady who originally had a smile on her face couldn't help but frown...

Plum garden.

The mother and her two daughters got off the carriage and, under the guidance of the maid, went to meet the eldest princess.

The graceful eldest princess was sitting in the warm hall, drinking tea and talking with an old lady.

There were also many ladies sitting down beside him.

The arrival of the three people immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Whose family are these? Why do they look so unfamiliar..." someone asked puzzledly.

"That's right. Such a pretty girl is rare in the capital. I've never heard of her!" someone exclaimed.

A quick look at the clothes these people were wearing revealed that they were all of noble status. Du, who came from a merchant family, lowered her head in fear.

The maid led the three people to Princess Anhe.

"Your Highness, the Princess, the family of the new Minister of Works, Shen Zhinian, has arrived."

The mother, daughter and three of them immediately knelt down and saluted.

"Your Highness the Princess."

"Your humble servant pays respect to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

The eldest princess nodded and motioned for the three to stand up. Her eyes swept over Shen Rongyue and Shen Qingyin, and finally, like the old lady beside her, she stopped her gaze on Shen Qingyin.

After a moment, he smiled and said, "Take a seat."

The maid led the three people to sit near the door.

When they learned that they were just the family of a sixth-rank official, everyone in the hall looked at the three of them differently.

Which of the ladies here is not a family member of a high-ranking official in the court?

Six products?

There is a huge gap between us and them!

If the eldest princess hadn't nodded, they would have suspected that the three of them had walked into the wrong door?

"A member of the Ministry of Industry named Shen? I've never heard of him!"

"Strange, why would the princess invite them?"

"Those two girls are good-looking, especially the one on the left. However, judging by their attire, they are just ordinary girls..."

Listening to the discussions coming from time to time and feeling the unfriendly looks from everyone, Mrs. Du, who was already a little frightened, could not help but clench her hands, lower her head, and become even more uneasy.

In her previous life, Shen Rongyue was also nervous at this moment, but today was different.

Her face was filled with anger.

These people are just the families of ministers, and she will become the queen of the Beixin Dynasty in no time.

Even if you are the eldest princess, you must be respectful when you appear in front of her in the future.

It’s a pity that she has to endure the harassment of these people at this moment. It’s so frustrating!

And that damn old lady, that look made her feel so uncomfortable...

"Mom, I'm going to the toilet." Shen Rongyue finally couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up, said something to Mrs. Du, and then walked out of the warm hall with her maid Yinxin.

Shen Qingyin sat steadily, as if he was not aware of anyone's reaction at all.

Officials in the court were clearly divided into different ranks, and so were their families.

It was also expected that they, mother and daughter, would be looked down upon by the families of these important officials.

She didn't care about these things in her previous life, and she cares even less in this life.

What she was concerned about was the old lady beside the eldest princess. She recognized her as soon as she entered the room. The old lady was none other than Madam Mu from the general's mansion.

Mrs. Mu is worthy of her family background as she is from a military family. Although she is over sixty years old, she is full of energy and vigor.

From the corner of her eye, she could see that Madam Mu was looking towards her and her daughter, but she was not sure who she was looking at.

In her previous life, she was thinking about finding a doctor for Qin Yueze, so she only sat in the warm hall for a while, then said she was not feeling well and left in a hurry.

I have no idea what happened next.

I really can't guess how Shen Rongyue behaved to be chosen by Madam Mu...

However, today's occasion is really not suitable for people of their status to be too conspicuous.

If I deliberately do something to win Madam Mu's favor, it will probably backfire.

Shen Qingyin made up his mind: do your duty and act according to circumstances.

"Princess, Princess Jinshu has arrived." A maid came in to report.

Following her, a young girl in pink and a snow fox cloak entered the warm hall and went straight to the main seat where the eldest princess was.

"Jinshu pays respects to her aunt! Pays respects to Madam Mu!"
