Chapter 179 Recruitment
Deng Shaoyao came over and forced a smile: "Sister Huiyin."
Seeing her expression, Qin Huiyin asked with concern, "Is it not going well?"
Deng Shaoyao made a bitter face and said aggrievedly, "Everything was fine originally, and the head nanny was willing to choose me, but someone tripped me and made me fall flat on my face in front of the head nanny. The head nanny's face immediately turned sour."
"Didn't the housekeeper see it?"
"No," Deng Shaoyao said. "I even explained the reason, and the housekeeper's face turned even uglier."
Qin Huiyin asked: "What are your plans next?"
"If the county government doesn't work, then I'll try other wealthy families. I heard the Xia family is very rich, so they should need maids. If the Xia family doesn't work, I'll ask other families. I won't go back until I find a job. If I go back, my father will definitely sell me out. I have no other way out, I can only move forward."
"Where do you sleep at night?"
"I'm looking for someone to stay with. It's only a few cents a night, cheaper than an inn." Deng Shaoyao smiled innocently, "Sister Huiyin, don't worry about me. Although I didn't get into the county government, I got to know several people who went there for the recruitment like me. One of them is from the city, and we get along pretty well. I'll stay at her house tonight."
A servant in a servant's uniform came running over and said breathlessly, "I've been looking for you everywhere, and finally I found you."
"Are you looking for me?" Deng Shaoyao pointed at herself. "I don't know you!"
"When you entered the county government office just now, did you take a kite for a young man who was climbing a tree?"
"Yes! I didn't do anything. I just saw that young man couldn't get it, so I climbed up to help him get it down. This shouldn't be considered a crime, right?" Deng Shaoyao said nervously.
"That's the county magistrate's son. He thinks you're a good girl and wants to keep you as his maid. If you don't have anything else to do, come back with me now! I'm his servant."
Deng Shaoyao looked at the servant in surprise.
She turned around and looked at Qin Huiyin: "Sister Huiyin, am I dreaming?"
Qin Huiyin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why are you still standing here like an idiot?"
"Sister Huiyin, I'm leaving first." Deng Shaoyao said excitedly, "Once I'm settled here, I'll definitely go thank you and my uncle and aunt."
"Your mother must be very worried. I'll send her a message later."
"Will this be too much trouble?"
"No. It's a good opportunity to let the Deng family know that you're now in the county government office. Even if they want to embarrass your mother in the future, they'll have to consider whether you agree or not."
After Deng Shaoyao left, Song Ruize said calmly, "You are truly a kind person."
Qin Huiyin chuckled: "Do good deeds, accumulate good karma, and reap good results."
"Are you an old woman? You're so young, but your mind is full of old-fashioned things." Song Ruize said, "When we eat the roasted whole lamb later, do you want to pray for the lamb's soul?"
"Brother, you've changed." Qin Huiyin looked at him in surprise. "You can joke now."
Song Ruize: "..."
Six people ate a whole roasted lamb and were all full.
Several people sat there digesting their food.
Song Ruize poured a cup of tea and handed it to Qin Huiyin.
Jiang Qibin cheered from the side: "Brother Ze, I want one too."
"No arms?" Song Ruize said calmly.
"So cold. I thought he was a different person, but it turns out he is still the same cold Brother Ze." Jiang Qibin held his heart, looking hurt.
Chen Yong kicked him and said, "Be careful, next time Brother Ze won't take you out and will have you stay at the dam on duty."
Jiang Qibin immediately stopped teasing and said seriously, "I'm very useful, Brother Ze, please don't leave me in the dam."
A few scholars walked in from the door, wearing the academy's uniform. They sat at the next table.
As soon as they sat down, those people started complaining about the teachers, the food, and the various unreasonable rules in the academy. Finally, they mentioned one person and asked Qin Huiyin, who was about to leave, to sit back down.
"That Tang Yichen is just a poor fellow. Everyone praises him, saying he's a genius with a photographic memory and that he's bound to have a place in the Autumn Examination. Pah, this poor fellow probably doesn't even have the money to go to the capital for the exam? I just asked him to help with an assignment, but not only did he not help, he even went to the teacher to tell on me. I don't think he even knows whose territory this is."
"We didn't let him in yesterday. I heard he spent the whole night reading in the library. I thought he'd tell on us, but he didn't. Do you think he's scared? Hahaha..."
"All his clothes are soaked, and he has nothing to wear. He's still wearing thin clothes in this weather. I wonder if his frail body can hold out until the provincial examination."
Qin Huiyin clenched her fists in anger.
Song Ruize held the back of her hand and said in a low voice, "These people all have some powerful families in the county."
"They bullied my elder brother." Qin Huiyin's eyes turned red with anger.
"Do you want to vent your anger?" Song Ruize asked.
Qin Huiyin nodded: "Of course."
"Wait."
Half an hour later, several scholars staggered out of the store.
"Brother Wen, what are your plans for tonight?"
"There are a few virgin girls here at Baihua Pavilion. How about we go and pamper them tonight?"
"Okay, that suits me just fine."
At this time, dozens of beggars came rushing in.
"Rich young master, please be kind and have mercy on us..."
"Give me a little... please... give me a little..."
"Get out of here! You stinky beggars! I'll beat you to death."
"It stinks. Get out of here now. Your life is unnecessary."
The beggars looked at each other and pounced on the scholars, shouting, "Please be kind and give us something to eat." Their movements became more and more rough, and they directly knocked the men down and pressed them down.
"Ah...what are you doing? Why are you stripping me?"
"Help me, please stop pulling down my pants..."
At the corner, Qin Huiyin stuck her head out and looked over there, and a hand reached out from behind and pulled her back.
"What's so good about these dirty things?"
"How did you do it? So many beggars listen to you." Qin Huiyin looked at Song Ruize with admiration.
Song Ruize said uncomfortably, "If there's any work going on, just ask them to come along. Let them have a chance to make money legitimately, and they'll naturally become familiar with each other."
"Not only beggars, but almost all the ruffians in this county town listen to our Brother Ze. Our Brother Ze has a lot of face." Jiang Qibin said proudly.
"My brother is so impressive," Qin Huiyin said, "but what if those people cause trouble for the beggars?"
"They can't find it," Jiang Qibin said. "They're all drunk now, how can they tell who attacked them? Beggars may not have status, but they're numerous. If they incur public wrath, they'll be in big trouble."
