What kind of impact her words will have and how the world will develop next is not something she can participate in.

To put it bluntly, she is just a commoner, with no power or power, no matter how special she is, she can't be of any help in these matters.

Since that day, her most intuitive feeling is that Wuqing has become more and more busy, including several other people in the Shenhou Mansion. Every time they go, they are either buried in a bunch of business, or a few people gather to discuss things.

The only thing that reassures her is that despite being so busy, Zhuge Zheng and I and Lai Xingzhu still watch him recover every day without relaxing, and also ensure the basic rest time every day. When I wake up, I really can't care about anything.

This afternoon, she was still bored around the store and helped find something for herself. Since Lao Li was arrested, there was a lack of a cleaning post in the store, and she didn't dare to recruit outside for the time being. If someone with bad intentions comes in again, heal himself first.

Fortunately, there is not much work. During the day, the floor is cleaned, and then the tabletops are cleaned after the guests have eaten. At night, closing the door is a matter of cleaning.

At this time, Mrs. Liu found her timidly, and asked her if the store still hired cleaners, and if so, could her eight-year-old daughter come to help.

Tan Xiao pupil big earthquake, eight years old!This is child labor, right?No matter how black-hearted and unscrupulous capitalists are, they won't let eight-year-old children work!

Besides, how would she assign work when someone recruited her? She can only eat and drink for nothing, right?

"Isn't eight years old too young? What can she do? To recruit such an older child, tomorrow I will be known by the whole city as a black-hearted shopkeeper."

She even wondered for a moment whether Mrs. Liu wanted to get the children in the family to get an extra salary because of her temper and good manners.

She was a little angry at herself for this guess.

It’s no wonder she thinks so. It’s true that her work here is hard work, but the working environment is delicious, there are no unscrupulous bosses to beat and scold, the salary is also high, and there are various benefits, bonuses and share, the same remuneration for them Going to any restaurant and restaurant, the work intensity and environment are far from what she can compare here, and more people want to come in.

Mrs. Liu looked at her earnestly and said, "Shopkeeper, although my daughter is small, she can do all kinds of work. She is used to sweeping the floor and cleaning the table at home. You don't need to pay her. Just take care of the food."

Tan Xiao was puzzled, and asked with a frown, "No wages... Then why did you let her work? Can such a young child do it? What are you trying to do?"

Mrs. Liu smiled wryly, and said, "Shopkeeper Tan, I can see that you have grown up pampered, and you have never suffered a day. In a poor family like ours, the children have to help the family from the time they are born, especially the girls. My child, who doesn't do everything inside and out? When he was six or seven years old, he could already cook on a stool.

Besides, our mother, I am out all day, and I don’t feel at ease leaving her alone at home. It’s better to help her here and stay under my nose. I feel more at ease. "

She was silent for a while.

Such a reason did not occur to her, and she was even ashamed of the groundless guess just now.

She realized again that sometimes she still takes it for granted, or maybe, as Mrs. Liu said, she has never suffered from them, so it is difficult to truly empathize with them. Now think about what she just said , It is really full of innocence that is superior and does not know the sufferings of the world.

Be careful in the future, she thought to herself.

Thinking of this, she said softly, "In that case, let her try it tomorrow, but let's make it clear that although you recommended it, it still depends on her specific performance. If it is really possible, I will also pay the wages according to Lao Li's standard, if it doesn't work, then I can only..."

Everyone could understand what was left behind, Madam Liu said ecstatically, "Thank you shopkeeper, don't worry, Niuniu will do a good job!"

Tan Xiao didn't say anything anymore, she thought, even so, this age is indeed too young, far beyond her moral bottom line, recruiting a 14-year-old Lu Chen is already her maximum level, eight years old?If this was posted on Weibo in later generations, she would definitely be scolded by hundreds of thousands of netizens.

Although Mrs. Liu is indeed not easy, she has a lot of people coming and going. If a child is accidentally lost or something else happens, she can't bear the responsibility. When tomorrow comes, she will find an excuse to let her let's go.

The next morning, she saw Mrs. Liu brought a skinny little girl. She couldn't be called cute, she could only say ordinary, probably due to malnutrition. There is not much meat, and the eyes are surprisingly big.

Tan Xiao only felt that the veins on his forehead were throbbing. He said he was eight years old, but he looked like he was only six or seven years old!

A child whose height is only as high as her waist, how dare she let her work!

"Is this too young..." She looked at Mrs. Liu hesitantly.

Seeing her unhappy look, Mrs. Liu said with certainty, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, she can really do anything, so let her try it for a day. If you are still not satisfied by the evening, don't worry about it." She can too."

Tan Xiao glanced at Mrs. Liu, then at the little girl she was leading, and reluctantly said, "That's fine, try it for a day first. Teach her when you're not busy, just like Lao Li , and you don’t have to keep cleaning it.”

Mrs. Liu hadn't spoken yet, but the little girl yelled crisply, "Sister, don't worry, I can do everything at home, and I will definitely not let you down."

She was amused by the little girl's appearance as a grown-up, and said half-truthfully, "Then I have to wait and see, my requirements are not low, if you don't do well, even for your mother's sake, I'll give you my best." I won't want you either, you know?"

After she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a little inappropriate. As expected, the little girl who was only a little bit old shrank in fear and looked at Mrs. Liu with an uneasy expression. The courage she had gathered with great difficulty was gone.

"Of course, if you do a good job, you will be able to be with mother every day in the future." She hastily smiled again to comfort her.

Not long after, she took a rag in her hand and followed Mrs. Liu to wipe it in the hall. Maybe she was told, but the little girl was very sensible and didn't look around.

After Tan Xiao looked at it for a while, he reluctantly admitted that he was quicker at work than her...

Although there was no problem with her ability to work, every time her eyes saw the small figure, her eyes twitched unconsciously and her heart tensed up.

Oh my god, she's really committing a crime. The old society didn't oppress people like this for an eight-year-old child laborer.

The good thing is that there is not much cleaning work, just wipe a few tables, sweep and drag the floor if it is dirty, and you can stay and rest when you have nothing to do.

It only takes 10 minutes to finish this job, and it doesn't need to be done all the time, and it's not tiring.

She observed silently for a whole day. Although she didn't want to admit it, she did not have any problems with her work. Then she comforted herself that she should be eight years old. At least someone watching her is better than staying alone in the house. Just take it as being a good person and doing a good deed.

As long as you don't go out of this door, you won't have any problems. Besides, isn't there a hidden guard there, so nothing will happen easily.

In this way, Mrs. Liu's daughter, Niuniu, was appointed as the cleaner in the store. The treatment was the same as that of Lao Li and Mrs. Lu, three times a month. She didn't have the face to ask the little girl to work for her only for one meal.

The little girl's face was full of joy and restraint, which made her laugh again. Although she could not be called cute, the gratitude and admiration in those big bright eyes made her vanity inexplicable. was satisfied.

It doesn't seem too bad, let's do it first and watch it later.

Lying on the bed at night, a fire suddenly lit up outside the window. She put on her slippers and went to the window to see a team of about a hundred people holding torches walking through the silent street. Wearing a circle of black cloth strips, she carried all kinds of weapons in her hands, and she even saw someone carrying a pole.

What are so many people doing in the middle of the night, and all of them are armed with weapons, looking menacing, could it be that they are fighting in groups?

After watching for a while, she couldn't figure out what to do, so she lay back and fell asleep again.

I just hope they can pick a place where no one is around to fight, otherwise the houses and stalls of ordinary people will suffer. This kind of fight in the rivers and lakes affects innocent people, and I have never heard of anyone who will lose money.

She yawned and fell into a dark, sweet sleep again.

Throughout the next day, she was still not at ease and stayed on the first floor, fearing that something might happen to Niu Niu.

Thank goodness the little girl is very sensible and obedient, she occasionally wipes the table and sweeps the floor, most of the time she just sits on the chair in the corner, or just goes to the kitchen with her mother, there is no naughty tricks or waiting for her to worry about. In the unbearable situation, all the work has been completed with quality and quantity. At her age, it is simply beyond Tan Xiao's imagination.

It's just that she still struggles with the hurdle of age.

At noon, Zhan Zhao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, came.

Still wearing the iconic red uniform, with a gentle and clear smile, sharp brows and starry eyes, starry eyes.

She shouted in surprise, "Brother Zhan, I haven't seen you for a long time, did you go out for business again?"

Zhan Zhao said in a gentle voice, "During this period, Jinfengxiyulou and Liufentang have been fighting openly and secretly, and there has been friction. The disciples of the two gangs have fights from time to time, and most of them happen in the south of the city. Lord Bao asked me to be in charge of the south of the city. patrol there, so I can’t always come and see you.”

"So that's how it is, it's quite far away." She suddenly realized, "But you shouldn't be able to take care of this kind of thing directly, after all, aren't they all yelling about it, is it the world's business?"

Zhan Zhao chuckled twice, "You know the rules of the road. You're right. As officials of the court, it's really not good for us to intervene too much in the fights between gangs in the Jianghu. The government also turns a blind eye and closes their eyes, not to mention that they may not accept our favor."

"Understood, understood..." Tan Xiao thought deeply, "Those people in the Jianghu also have a lot of prejudice against you, just like Brother Yayu, no matter how many good things he has done for the people, when some people talk about him, it is still a court sentence." Hawkdogs, as if saying that would show how noble and refined they are."

"Yayu...brother?" Zhan Zhao was startled, his thick black eyebrows frowned slightly, as if he had silently recited the name several times in his heart, and then asked, "You said, but the arrester of the Shenhou Mansion Heartless?"

She nodded with a smile, "Yes, you must have seen him."

After hesitating for a while, Zhan Zhao asked hesitantly, "Miss Tan, from what you said, the two of you seem to have a very close relationship?"

"Eh... this..." Tan Xiaohong faltered with her ears, she was thinking about what words to use to describe the relationship between the two, saying that he is my boyfriend?lover?Lover?Sweetheart?

No matter which one, in this era, it is a bit out of line for an unmarried girl.

Seeing her not speaking for a long time, her eyes dodging, and her cheeks flushed slightly, Zhan Zhao still doesn't understand.

He suddenly felt a little dull, couldn't get up all of a sudden, and felt a little depressed.

"I understand, Miss Tan doesn't need to say any more." He forced a gentle smile to relieve the embarrassed girl in front of him.

Tan Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, she coughed lightly, and whispered embarrassingly, "That is to say, the recent incident... many people should know..."

recent?So, it was the time when he went to Yingtian Mansion?

Zhan Zhao silently swallowed a mouthful of old blood, with a smile on his face to bless, "I have met Wu Qing several times, he is indeed a first-class man in the world, you two are together, you can be called... a perfect match .”

He almost squeezed the last four words out of his throat. He felt that he was really a hypocrite. He was obviously unhappy, but he still had to put on a magnanimous smile. He despised such a fake self.

But he was Nan Xia Zhan Zhao after all, and after his loss, he was sincerely happy for Tan Xiao.

In his opinion, Miss Tan is innocent, cute, kind and agile, ruthless, intelligent, erudite, and empathetic. Even if he is not good at conduct, but in his opinion, this shortcoming is far less important than his good points. He sincerely feels that the two People are a good match.

Tan Xiao blushed and changed the subject, she could just discuss with Wu Qing privately about the question of whether she is compatible or not, so there is no need to say anything in front of others, and she would not know how to answer it.

She asked, "By the way, Brother Zhan, last night I saw a lot of people with weapons going south, with black cloth strips tied on their arms, are they also from Jinfengxiyulou or Liufentang? ?”

Zhan Zhao replied solemnly, "You guessed right, a small branch of Liufen half hall attacked an property of Jinfeng Drizzle Building last night, and this time they took advantage of the large number of people to make Jinfeng Drizzle Building suffer Unfortunately, there are not many casualties, and I am busy with this matter today."

Tan Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

Speaking of Jinfengdriyulou, she thought of Su Mengzhen and Yang Wuxie who only met once, who told her ruthlessly that Shenhou Mansion and Jinfengdriyulou were allies, and the relationship between him and Su Mengzhen was also the same. The good friends are all from the same camp. At this time, she is still somewhat worried about the sick landlord Su.

Jinfengxiyulou is one of the few gangs in the rivers and lakes that has a clear-cut banner and is dedicated to fighting against gold. However, there were foolish kings who were weak in the past, and opponents smashed the field later. Their overall environment is also very difficult. Even with such a banner of righteousness first, It can only be half-and-half with Liufenbantang, and it doesn't have much advantage in the muddy water of Bianjing, where fish and dragons are mixed.

I heard from Wuqing that he has incurable diseases and several chronic poisons that cannot be cured. It is quite... strong that such a body can live for so long.

Seeing her pensive face, Zhan Zhao bid farewell. As a civil servant of 007, it was not easy for him to squeeze out such a little rest time and come from the south of the city to the north of the city to see her.

Tan Xiao smiled and waved goodbye to her. Before leaving, she suddenly remembered something and asked again, "Brother Zhan, have you received the gift I brought for you during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Zhan Zhao regained his usual clarity, and said with a smile, "I came here precisely for this matter, and Miss Lao Tan will take care of it, so I don't worry about it."

"What's the matter, it's worth you coming here to thank me, my friend, it should be." She said with a look of course.

Zhan Zhao didn't say anything anymore, just chuckled a few times, turned around and left.

Tan Xiao was still pondering about the Golden Wind and Drizzle Tower. As an ally of the same camp, she naturally didn't like the people in Liufenbantang.

The enemy is at present, and it’s fine if you don’t want to unite and unite to the outside world. What’s the matter with always holding back your legs? Wouldn’t it be better if you have the ability to assassinate a few dog officials? I know that my own people beat my own people.

She now sees that everyone in the same camp automatically adds 50 favorability points, especially for important people like Su Mengzhen, she puts him in the same important position as the main force of the other people in the Shenhou Mansion.

I hope he can live strong for another 20 years.

She thought silently in her heart.

The author has something to say:

I'm completely outraged now, it's fine if the security is a mess, and the relief food I received is a pile of carrots, two radishes, and a pile of onions, at least I won't starve to death, but the heating is really bad. In the winter in the northwest, there are only ten At about five degrees, I was caught cold and cold, and my knees and ankles were uncomfortable. I asked a lot of friends, and the situation was the same at home, and the medicine was not easy to buy. The cat at home has something wrong these days and there is no place to see a doctor. I finished typing this chapter with my mobile phone lying under the covers, and I will fill in the missing words in the next chapter.

Don’t talk about community group buying. A community group buying has infected many people. I ordered a basket of food and returned it. I will never go out except for nucleic acid. I am not afraid of getting infected myself, but I am afraid that I will be quarantined. A cat left unattended can only wait to die...
