This girl looked different from other girls. Her skin was fair and there were no calluses on her hands. Even though she was wearing simple clothes, her face was still radiant. Su Yueling just took one look and knew that this girl must have a very good background, even if She is not an official lady, she is also from a wealthy family.
But with a status like this, if you go out, you will usually not be short of servants to protect you. How could you end up being robbed by bandits?
Moreover, those thieves, generally speaking, will also choose their targets. They will not provoke powerful families, so as not to provoke the government to strangle them.
The girl lowered her eyes and her voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, "I won't leave."
Su Yueling saw the remaining tears on her face and asked her, "Then what job are you going to do if you stay here?"
"I heard that Princess Qionghua is recruiting female officers. If there is a second batch, I want to take part in the assessment of the second batch."
There will definitely be a second batch, but we have to wait until the next year for Yin Yuewei and this batch of female officials to fully grasp their powers. Su Yueling will return to Beijing a year ago to help her daughter win some more positions as female officials.
She looked at the girl, "What's your name?"
"Silent Bamboo."
Su Yueling was stunned. Shen Jingzhu, this name sounded familiar.
She said seriously: "If you are admitted as a female officer, your experience will probably be made public. Have you thought clearly?"
It is conceivable that overwhelming criticism and malice will be poured on her by then. Can she withstand the storm at that time?
Shen Jingzhu's eyes turned slightly red, "I don't think I was wrong."
Su Yueling said: "Of course you are right, it is those scum who are wrong."
"If you are mentally prepared, then stay. If your talent is good enough for that position, You Ning and I will naturally keep you." She and You Ning only choose female officers based on talent and ability. If the ability is enough , even if it’s a brothel girl, Su Yueling doesn’t care.
Shen Jingzhu bent his knees slightly, bowed solemnly and stepped back.
These women were all arranged to live in the courtyard next door.
Biyu, Song Xiaoqiao, Shengnan and the others came over with new clothes that had been cut by the house and asked them to change into them. These were originally the clothes for the maids to wear in the next season, so now they were taken out for them to change into.
Hot water was also prepared and delivered to them.
Then there are the prepared hot soups and hot dishes. Because I don’t know their taste, there are every type of dishes.
Biyu and the others did not try to talk to these tortured girls. After putting down their things, they left quietly.
There is no contempt, no extra special treatment or caution.
Such an ordinary attitude towards ordinary people actually relaxed the tense nerves of these girls.
After putting on new clothes, eating hot soup, and being surrounded by familiar people, they were willing to talk after being silent for many days.
"I heard that the princess has a farm somewhere else. She wants to send us there. Those who know how to farm will tend the crops, and those who know how to raise chickens will raise chickens. As long as we are diligent, we can earn at least one tael of silver every month." These girls If they can't go back to their parents' house, they will be alone, with a few silver coins, food and drink at the village, which is enough for them to live comfortably.
"It's okay to go elsewhere, no one will know our identities there."
Xiaodie, a girl in a pomegranate skirt who had a good relationship with Shen Jingzhu, turned to look at her with concern and a bit of disapproval, "Jingzhu, are you really not going to come with us? In the princess's village, even if we can't If you are rich and noble, you can also live without worries about food and clothing."
For those of them who have experienced ups and downs, this peace can be said to be very rare. Therefore, when they heard the news, what they looked forward to most was to go to Zhuangzi as soon as possible. They could not go home. After staying in the pile for a while, their innocence has long been gone. If they go back, they will only be disliked by their relatives. Humane relatives may send them to Qingdeng Ancient Buddha, but inhumane relatives are afraid that they will do it for the sake of the family's reputation. Give them a piece of white silk.
Who wants to die if you can live peacefully?
They are not afraid of hardship. No matter how hard it is, it will never be as painful as the hell they were in before.
A normal day.
Shen Jingzhu was stunned for a moment, then she shook her head, "I won't go home, I don't want to give up like this."
"I don't want to see my enemy stepping on my bones and living in glory." When she said this, a cluster of hatred appeared in her eyes. The fire passed in an instant, but Xiaodie could see it clearly. She Subconsciously holding her hand, "Don't do anything stupid."
They supported each other in that hell, not as sisters but as sisters.
Shen Jingzhu smiled instead, "I won't do anything stupid."
The person who harmed her was still living so well, and she had never done anything bad in her life, but because of the malice and calculations of her relatives, her innocence was ruined and her reputation was tarnished. She couldn't do it if she was asked to swallow her anger like this.
Seeing that Shen Jingzhu had made her decision, people who knew her temper did not persuade her in the end.
Xiaodie and others who were close to her took out their wallets, took out some gold and silver ingots, and tried to put them into her hand.
After Yuan Suifeng raided the gangster's lair, he found these women. Most of the property was confiscated by him and prepared to be confiscated, and part of it was given to his subordinates as a reward for their reward. He also took out some gold and silver from it and divided it among them. It was given to these women so that they could have something to rely on in the future.
Shen Jingzhu refused and said, "Keep this money with you, you may need it in the future."
Xiaodie said: "We will all have work to do in the future, and we will never die of hunger. You are walking a more difficult road than us, and you need more money."
Obviously they have a harder time than anyone else, but they still try to share the umbrellas in their hands with others.
Shen Jingzhu's finally calmed down mood was shattered again, tears streaming down her eyes, "I have one here too. Just give me one tael of silver each. When I become a high official in the future, I will definitely not forget it. Yours."
She said this deliberately to adjust the atmosphere, but her voice couldn't help but choke.
…
Su Yueling, who was resting in the house, finally knew who Shen Jingzhu was, and the system helped her find it.
It can be said that this girl’s ability to cause trouble in the original work is very strong.
In the original plot, it was mainly written from the perspective of her cousin Su Yuewei. Because Liu Yueya is Su Yuewei's adopted daughter, Su Yuewei's patron, and the queen, so some pen and ink was spent on Liu Yueya and Rong Hai.
For Liu Yueya, Rong Hai was unwilling to accept other concubines, but in the end he could not withstand the pressure and chose some ministers' daughters to enter the palace and conferred them as concubines to consolidate his power. Among them was Shen Jingying, the daughter of the Minister of War .Rong Hai didn't want to be lucky with Shen Jingying, but she couldn't help Shen Jingying with Shen Jingzhu beside her to make suggestions. She imitated Liu Yueya's dress when she was young, and took the initiative to step forward while Rong Hai was drunk. After that, Shen Jingying got pregnant and successfully gave birth. The fourth prince. After the prince grew up, Shen Jingzhu's few words aroused the ambition in the hearts of the Shen family. So the Shen family, which held military power, colluded with the prince, tried to assassinate the emperor, and supported the young fourth prince to ascend to the throne. Finally, Because he was betrayed and his success failed, the Shen family was punished by three clans.
The one who betrayed them was Shen Jingzhu.
Shen Jingzhu also gave Bai Ling and poisonous wine as a gift to his sister Shen Jingying, and only said one sentence, "My sister's great kindness back then, I will never forget."
This is a ruthless man who would kill his entire family for revenge.
