A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous

Looking from a distance, the back door was ajar.

After a while, an old man came out from the half-open door. He neither went in nor came out, but leaned against one of the doors and looked into the yard.

This should be the doorman who is responsible for opening the door. Wen Meijiu immediately came up with an idea.

After looking around, Wen Meijiu ran along the wall to the doorman and whispered into his ear as he was looking inside:

"Uncle, what are you looking at?"

The doorman was startled by her voice. He turned around quickly and looked at her in confusion.

Looking at the doorman's expression, Wen Meijiu knew that the old man was frightened by the situation in front of him.

Although a doorman is not a security guard and his status is not as high as that of a security guard, but since he can be a doorman at the back door, he must be someone that Boss Chen trusts.

Boss Chen has been arrested now and the situation is unclear. With so many soldiers and horse-drawn carriages carrying grain coming to the backyard, he must be very panicked.

"What didn't you see?"

The doorman's lips moved and his expression was very sad, it was hard to tell whether he was sad or scared.

Wen Meijiu stood on tiptoe and looked in the direction he had just been looking at. He saw from afar that the five carriages were almost full.

"Hey, how did Boss Chen's food get loaded onto the truck?"

When Wen Meijiu said this, the doorman sighed deeply, squatted on the ground, didn't stand up for a long time, held his head with both hands, and whispered:

"It's over. Qingfeng Tower is going to be finished. What should I do from now on?"

Wen Meijiu deliberately let out a "yeah", squatted on the ground, and said to the doorman in front of him:

"Yes, sir, the Qingfeng Building is about to be replaced. You can't stay here anymore. You have to find another way to make a living!"

The old man swung his sleeves. Seeing the young man say this, he felt that it was easy for him to talk without any pain in his waist, and said in a crying voice:

"How can I make a living? I can't even afford to eat at home. I rely on taking some leftovers from here to feed the children every day."

"I see, your family is really poor, I still have half a bag of millet for you, do you want it?"

As soon as the old man heard the word "Xiaomi", he stopped crying, looked up at Wen Meijiu in surprise, and was speechless for a long time.

Millet is a refined grain, and its price is soaring now, so you can’t buy it just because you want to.

"Wait here, I'll bring it to you.

However, I have one condition: you take the millet, leave here quickly, and give me your coat and hat."

When the old man heard this, he thought it was too good of a deal to exchange a tattered coat and a tattered hat for half a bag of millet.

Fearing that Wen Meijiu would change her mind, the old man quickly grabbed Wen Meijiu's sleeve and asked her in a low voice:

"Young man, do you keep your word?"

Wen Meijiu patted his chest and said:

"Of course it counts. Anyone who doesn't keep his word is a puppy."

Wen Meijiu asked the old man to wait there. She quickly went to the place where she had been hiding just now, took out the food from the space there, and ran towards the old man carrying it on her back.

The old man took the food handed to him by Wen Meijiu, opened the cloth bag and took a look. He found that there was really yellow millet inside. His mouth corners almost stretched to his ears.

After closing the bag, the old man immediately took off his coat and hat and gave them to Wen Meijiu.

"Give you all."

Before he finished speaking, the old man couldn't wait to carry the half bag of millet to the rice shop next door. He wanted to exchange the half bag of millet for coarse grains so that he could get more food.

Wen Meijiu quickly put on the old man's clothes and put on his hat, and then the sound of a carriage came from behind.

"Open the door!"

The officers and soldiers escorting the grain were shouting impatiently inside the door.

Wen Meijiu hurried to open the gate and let the vehicles out.

"Why did you change the person?"

The leading officer discovered that Wen Meijiu was not the old man from before, and became suspicious for a moment.

Wen Meijiu lowered his head, and with a hoarse voice, he bent over and said to the leading officer:

"Please calm down, my father is feeling unwell, I am here to watch the door for him."

"Guarding the door for your father, why doesn't it look like that to me?"

While the leading officer was speaking, he had already walked up to Wen Meijiu in a swagger. He raised the sword at his side, lifting up the brim of Wen Meijiu's hat, which had just been pressed down, revealing her pretty face.

Fortunately, Wen Meijiu had just smeared her face black, and with her changed voice and attire, she looked like a relatively pretty servant.

"Why do you look so effeminate?"

The leading officer maliciously blew the hat off Wen Meijiu's head. The soldiers behind him burst into laughter and surrounded Wen Meijiu.

"Don't mention it, you really act like a woman.

Boss, would you like to bring it back and sing a few lines for us to have fun with?"

"I think if she puts on women's clothes and moves her waist and hips, she will be no worse than those women."

"I think this is a good idea and worth a try."

A few people were chatting and laughing, and came forward to pull the sleeve of Wen Meijiu.

Wen Meijiu took a step back suddenly, bowed and said to the leader who was standing nearby and watching the joke:

"Sir, please speak further. Someone asked me to bring you a message."

The leading officer was stunned for a moment, looked at the people around him with a smile, pointed at himself and said:

“Are you talking to me?

OK, I will talk to her further, please don't be jealous."

"Boss, you are too disloyal."

"You forget your friends for the sake of beauty."

Amidst the accusations, the leading officer swayed over to Wen Meijiu and asked:

"What do you want to tell me?"

Wen Meijiu stood on tiptoe, leaned over to his ear, and whispered:

"Sir, a soldier upstairs asked me to bring you something."

After saying that, Wen Meijiu quietly took out a box of fine rouge from her body and gently put it into the hand of the leading soldier.

The leading officer did not take it seriously at first, thinking that Wen Meijiu's mysterious action was simply because he did not want to be "teased" by everyone.

When he looked down, he saw a box of rouge in his hand, which made him want to laugh even more.

"I don't have a wife yet, so I can't use this rouge. Who gave it to me?"

Wen Meijiu just met the leader of the officers and soldiers who hid things upstairs. From him, he learned that the officers and soldiers in the backyard also had a lot of money to make, that is, food.

Since he can say that, it must not be groundless, and this should not be the first time they have done this.

Wen Meijiu smiled and said quietly:

“Just now, when I was getting something upstairs, I met a military officer who was recording the things in the room with an account book.

He said that you must have made a lot of money working in the backyard, and it would be easy for you to get married and have children in the future, so he just handed this to me and asked me to give it to you when I saw you. "

They should all be aware of their internal corruption and embezzlement, but they cover up for each other and do not expose each other.
