Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

Could it be that Jia Yucun has arrived?

Jiao Xing peeked out from the crack of the door and saw a large group of government officials passing by surrounded by a blue four-carriage sedan. After the government team passed by, she learned from the people on the street that it was just a false alarm.

Now it is indeed the day for the officials to review every three years, so the county magistrate is actively patrolling the streets to clean up the street order, which plays an important role in his assessment and evaluation.

If he gets a good grade in the evaluation for three years, he will have a chance to be promoted. If there is enough money to pay tribute to Shangguan, it is not impossible to become a bigger official in another place.

Jiao Xing knew he was leaving, otherwise how could he make room for Jia Yucun? I just don’t know whether the county magistrate has been promoted or demoted.

But this is not what Jiao Xing should worry about now. The only thing she has to worry about now is herself.

She is such a sweetheart in this life, she is the one who will give birth to Jia Yucun’s children in the future!

So far, she has not broken the "eat law".

Although she had been a man in the past, she recognized her identity as a woman. Therefore, she couldn't use it even if she had it before. She had always been a eunuch.

So maybe her first man was Jia Yucun?

No, I feel like I can't get along with a "traitor" like him.

When the thoughtful Jiao Xing returned with her needle and thread, Tao Yao had already started to light a fire to cook.

She wiped her hands with her apron and took the needle and thread without saying a word. When he leaves, Jiao Xing will automatically replenish his position and add more wood to the fire.

Is this considered a time travel benefit? She already knows how to use ancient stoves properly.

When the two original owners were maids, they were also favored by the Feng family. Therefore, both of them are pretty girls who can only eat but not cook.

Now the two of them can make homemade side dishes together.

Unfortunately, because they don't have much money left, they have to count the rice in the pot and eat it by the grain. This was enough to be divided among three people, so Jiao Xing once again experienced the feeling of not having enough to eat as a child.

The original owner may have starved to death because of this, so he asked her to come over as a substitute.

When she thought of this, she wondered if Zhen Yinglian would starve to death if she came back.

She was busy on the stove when she suddenly heard a noise at the courtyard door. When she was about to go out to take a look, Taoyao had already opened the door and invited Feng Su and his party into the house.

Not long after, she came to the kitchen carrying a killed chicken.

"Mr. Feng wants to leave some rice here. You can add some more rice and I'll cook it."

"Where did this chicken come from? Didn't Madam eat vegetarian food to pray for blessings and not eat meat?" Jiao Xing swallowed hard.

"Does Mr. Feng not want to eat?"

Taoyao glanced at her funny, but she secretly swallowed her saliva.

Mrs. Feng herself prayed not to eat meat, so she didn't let the two maids who served her eat it (of course they couldn't afford it). Now that I can get some luck, I feel grateful from the bottom of my heart for Mr. Feng's arrival.

It was so difficult to eat meat in ancient times! Especially for poor families, they haven't seen a human being for three to five years. Even the rat meat is being snatched!

When she thought of this, Jiao Xing hated having her captured by the ancient system, and eagerly looked forward to returning as soon as possible.

As soon as the meals were ready, Taoyao brought them into the room. Jiao Xing also gave the remaining part to the servants who followed.

The manservant got the rice and gave Jiao Xing a very weird smile, which gave her goose bumps all over her body. Then she couldn't help but have an ominous premonition.

Sure enough, not long after, Jiao Xing, who was waiting in the kitchen, saw Tao Yao come back in a hurry.

"What should we do? Jiao Xing, Old Master Feng said that he wants to marry us to a farmer in exchange for money!"

It turned out that Mrs. Feng had received some advice from an expert and thought that the two maids beside his daughter had already reached the age of marriage.

Just then, someone came to ask for marriage, so he went to his daughter's house with the pheasant he just got.

Taoyao listened to his plan for Fengshi. Now that Zhuangzi had no income and the little girls there were very cheap, they could just use her two older ones and replace them with three or four younger ones to serve her.

In this way, when they are brought up and taught the rules, they can be replaced by new ones.

"This is a way to make money! Don't say that I, as a father, don't miss you. Now you can't find a man, and you have no income. Nowadays, there are droughts and floods, how can there be a harvest in the fields? There is no need for less. Find more new ways.”

"If you didn't still have the imperial decree, how could you have sold this maid at such a high price? It's because of your good luck that I got this method through hard talk. If not, how could it have happened? You don't know what's good and what's good!"

Old Master Feng sat sideways on the Grand Master's chair, brainwashing Mrs. Feng, who was already thinking about it.

"Sure enough, it's the old night owl who came in, and there's no good thing going on! I should have thought of it a long time ago. He's the one who doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Alas!" Tao Yao became angrier as he spoke.

She has been beautiful since she was a child. She has been sought after by people in the Zhen Mansion, and her taste has long been cultivated. Therefore, she wholeheartedly wanted to marry a scholar like Mr. Zhen.

Even after seeing Zhen Shiyin go bankrupt and become a monk, he did not change his ambition. He always felt that scholars were good and looked down upon servants and mud-legged people.

The original owner was just the opposite of her.

Perhaps because of her ups and downs as a child, she pursues reality more.

So when she was in Zhen Mansion, as soon as Huo Qi showed his interest, she agreed. Later, when Huo Qi asked to elope, she hesitated for a long time but did not agree.

"But we always have to get married."

Jiao Xing sighed, "Besides, our physical bonds are still with Madam, so it's not up to us to have the final say in what happens in the future."

Seeing that Taoyao was really anxious, she couldn't help but ask: "What did Madam say?"

"What else can Madam do! Now that Master Zhen can't be found, if Master Feng can take care of her, she will be Amitabha!"

Tao Yao gritted her teeth, "Why don't my parents want to go out and be good citizens?"

Because they still have a son! Jiao Xing thought in her heart, because their son was still young, if he went outside, how would he live without a farm and a house? It is better to be a servant in the Feng family than to be a refugee outside the city.

It's actually quite good to marry into a farmer's family now. At least you can have food to eat.

And judging from the appearance of the two of them, the person seeking marriage must not be an ordinary farmer. Maybe you can have a house and land, and if you do it, you can be a good wife. Isn't this much better than being a wife in the future?

But in this way, she could stop being Jia Yucun's little wife... The task was to find Yinglian, but she knew that Yinglian would definitely meet the Xue family and go to the Jia family...

So there is no need for her to be Jia Yucun’s little wife!

Suddenly thinking of this, her mind was confused again, but the top priority was to persuade Taoyao not to cause trouble to her.

"Don't worry, Madam may not agree. After all, we are the only ones in our house, and Madam is used to it."

Taoyao seemed to have a plan. She looked at Jiao Xing and nodded, "You're right."

Just when Jiao Xing thought she was being honest, she was slapped in the face.

In other words, her prediction was very accurate.

The farmer who asked to marry did have a house and land, not much less than the Feng family, but this son was stupid.
