"Yes, madam." Aunt Liu quickly brought the letter, and Shen Yuyu took it and read it carefully.
The letter asked Shen Yuyu to take good care of her mother, and there were words of gratitude.
Shen Yuyu read it and returned it to Grandma Liu. She smiled and said to Mrs. Sun: "When Madam replies, please tell Sister Mengmeng that I can completely cure Madam's disease so that she doesn't have to worry.
Mrs. Sun was happy and grateful. She pressed the handkerchief to the corner of her eyes and said, "Friendship is priceless. My Mengmeng will definitely keep this sentence in mind.'
After talking for a while, Shen Yuyu stopped by to see Mrs. Sun. After carefully checking her pulse and lower abdomen, she wrote a prescription for her again, and then left the county magistrate's office with a few words of advice.
Back at the restaurant, the uncle, aunt, and several brothers were hungry and were still waiting for them to come back for dinner.
The restaurant won't open until tomorrow, and shopkeeper Li hasn't come yet.
During the meal, Shen Yue brought up the matter of wine-making. He wanted to go back to Shenjiacun to study it and brew a good wine. After all, running a restaurant is a long-term business and wine is indispensable.
Aunt Zhou hesitated and said: "Yu Yu, many rumors in the village are quite ugly now. If you and Ah Xun go back to make wine at this time, I'm afraid it will be even worse.
Shen Yuyu knew that the words of the villagers must have hurt the uncle, aunt, and brothers, and said guiltily: "Uncle, aunt, and brothers, we are relatives who share weal and woe. Are we afraid of others' gossip? Let them talk. '
Shen Xingwang said: "Yes, we are not afraid of our shadows being distorted if we are upright. Sister Yu is right.'
Uncle Shen and several other brothers also stated that as long as they act upright and sit upright, they are not afraid of others spreading rumors.
Shen Yuyu naturally believed them. They all wished they could give half of what they deserved to Shen Yuyu. How could they have other selfish motives?
After the discussion, Ji Xun and Shen Yuyu decided to go back to Shenjia Village tomorrow and spend some time studying wine making.
Shen Yuyu thought for a while, wrote down two new dishes, and spent some time teaching them to the three chef brothers.
After finishing their work, as evening approached, Shen Yue and Ji Xun went to the reception room on the second floor and started drinking tea and cracking melon seeds.
"How's it going? Is Jinfeng Tower open for business?" Shen Yuyu asked while looking out the window.
"No." Ji Xun shook his head.
"This is weird." Shen Yuyu took his eyes back from the closed and locked Jinfeng Building and said with emotion, "Fortunately, I will go back to Shenjia Village tomorrow, so I don't have to meddle in my own business here every day." She thought to herself. I can't finish the things on Wanhua Street, so I'd better go back to Shenjiacun to relax.
After cracking melon seeds for a while, suddenly there was a commotion on Wanhua Street, with shouts and shouts. Shen Yuxi hurriedly looked out the window. Under the crimson sunset, a group of women in shabby clothes had their hands tied and were being whipped with whips. Come this way.
"This? Slave?" "Shen Yuyu has never seen such a situation. This is the word that comes to mind. Being led by a rope and driven with a whip. What is it if it is not a slave?
"This is a female member of the guilty minister's family who was used as an official prostitute." Ji Xun said calmly, took a sip of tea, and added: "Mother Yue who came to Panlouzi before must have come from Lingzhou City. These officials The family members probably also bought it from Daqi."
The official family members have a special status, but no mother dares to use them. After all, there are too many involved. What if the father is vindicated one day? What if the official is reinstated? The entire brothel will suffer.
What's even more difficult is to teach, which official woman doesn't have some strength and character? Many would rather die than accept guests.
But it doesn’t matter if you take them to other countries. If you don’t obey, it’s just a matter of being beaten to death. Of course, the most important thing is that most women will feel desperate after leaving their own country. When they are desperate, they will naturally compromise and settle down. Lived secretly.
With so many female relatives of the right age, I don’t know how many noble houses have been destroyed. Haha~~~Xia Yan! Xia Luoluo! Did you guys start fighting so quickly? It’s really surprising!
Shen Yue was still looking at them curiously.
This group of women, all sixteen or seventeen years old, sixteen or seventeen in total, were treated roughly like animals. The whips kept falling, causing them to scream in pain, which looked quite pitiful.
Fortunately, fortunately, I am just a country girl and will never be in such a miserable situation.
Shen Yuyu sighed: "Were they really the ladies of the wealthy family before? This status and situation are too subversive.'
"Not bad." Ji Xun responded.
His eyes fell on a woman in a cherry red dress in the middle.
Although this woman's dress is dirty and torn, the material is made of top-grade Shu brocade produced in the Great Zhou Kingdom. Her father is definitely one of the most important ministers in the Great Qi Kingdom.
At this moment, the Night King's mind was ready to move. He really wanted to investigate which important minister was responsible for the downfall of the Qi Kingdom!
But when he thought about deciding to live in seclusion in Shenjia Village with his wife, he suppressed his curiosity.
Just as he was thinking about it, the door of Jinfeng Tower opened, and the group of girls were all pulled into the building. Soon, the sound of scolding and beating came from inside the building.
The beatings, curses and screams continued until midnight, and were extremely shrill.
Shen Yuyu didn't sleep well the whole night. He yawned the next day. After washing up, he went to the reception room on the second floor. The wailing sound came from the Jinfeng Restaurant again. He vaguely saw the thugs in the lobby performing torture, and the sticks were not used. Fall down mercilessly.
"Tell me? Where did she escape? Tell me? Tell me? If you don't tell me, I will kill you all."
"I don't know, even if you beat me to death, I don't know, wuwuwu~~'
There were also many girls and their mothers from the brothel nearby who came to watch at the entrance of Jinfeng House, saying, "Okay, okay~~ Stop fighting, we are howling so hard that our heads will explode."
"Isn't that right? I just howled all night last night. Is it going to end?"
"Mom Yue, if you teach me slowly, how can I be willing to accept guests in just one or two days?"
"Isn't that true? I'll think of a way for you. Starve them for a few days first, and then break their bodies, so they will naturally succumb."
"That's right, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it. If you're disabled, isn't it your loss?"
While everyone was talking outside, Mother Yue came out with her sleeves rolled up, looking at her with a smile on her face, but her words were loud and clear.
"Dear sisters, I am a mother who came from Lingzhou City. An important girl escaped from my building last night. If there is someone in any building or hospital who can take her in, please hand her over as soon as possible."
"These girls are all the female relatives of the guilty ministers of Daqi who were handed over to me by the Governor. If anyone dares to hide them privately, your house will be in danger if they are found."
As soon as Mama Yue finished speaking, several nosy mothers hurriedly said that they did not dare to hide people and had never seen them before.
Mother Yue continued: "I have already reported to the county government. The portrait of this fugitive will be posted soon. Let's send a message to each other and find him as soon as possible, otherwise the brothels in the whole street will be implicated."
After Mama Yue finished speaking, she went into the building. The other mothers knew that Mama Yue was an unusual person, so who dared to meddle in her own business? They dispersed in a hurry.
Just as Shen Yuyu was watching this wonderful thing, Ji Xun came up to greet her and said that Shen Xingwang had bought all the necessary items for making wine and could go back to Shenjia Village.
