After being widowed, I pampered the rough man general by farming

"Hey, your friends, what are their identities?"

Zhu Jiangjiang went to the vegetable garden at the door to get food for tonight, and Pei Ji came to help, so she asked by the way.

"Brother Tu is my good friend at the border, and now he can be regarded as my lieutenant general. The Tu family is also considered a big family in the capital, and the family used to be an imperial merchant."

Pei Ji imitated her by bowing her head to pick vegetables, while introducing to her the identities of several people in the room.

"Brother Qin is the son of the current Taifu. When he was young, he was accompanied by the emperor. I don't know him very well."

"What about the master and madam? What are their identities?"

Qin Feng said before that they were his grandfather and grandmother, but judging from the respectful reactions he showed several times just now, the old couple seemed to have a deeper identity.

They...

Pei Ji didn't want to scare Zhu Jiangjiang, so he changed the subject, "Is this enough?"

He picked a lot of vegetables and handed them to her, how could the clever Zhu Jiangjiang not see that he didn't want to tell her on purpose?

"Thank you." She held out the vegetable basket in her hand to him, took the vegetables, and went back to the kitchen.

The few people in the room were going to stay for dinner tonight, Zhu Jiangjiang turned over all the vegetables on the kitchen shelf and fiddled with them briefly.

Fortunately, Pei Xiaoyu and the others went to the city today and bought vegetables, otherwise they might not even have food to entertain guests tonight.

When Zhu Jiangjiang was sweating profusely cooking for them, the old man led Tu Jing and Qin Feng to the village, and when he came back, he saw his face full of disappointment.

"It's really eye-opening for me that there are such poor people in the world."

The old man seemed to be shocked, and the staff in his hand hit the ground several times, knocking on the wooden floor of the balcony.

He never imagined that the people of Dali Dynasty lived such a life.

He thought that the place where Zhu Jiangjiang lived was small enough, but he didn't expect there to be a smaller and more dilapidated place than this.

So those papers in the imperial court that boast of the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people are all fake?

"dinner's ready."

Zhu Jiangjiang didn't know what they saw, and after serving the dishes with Pei Xiaoyu, he invited a few people to come and sit down.

On the dinner table, except for a scrambled egg and meatball and vegetable soup, everything else was vegetarian, which made the old man feel even more sad.

"The people of my Dali Dynasty eat such food, I am ashamed!"

"..." Why did he sound so awkward?

Zhu Jiangjiang cast his eyes on the table, looked at a table of delicious meals, and thought to himself: This is not as bad as he said, is it?

What does this old man mean!

It seems that he is a master who does not eat fireworks in the world. He has never suffered hardship since he was a child.

"Grandpa, the conditions in the countryside are limited. If there is something you are not used to, please bear with me." Zhu Jiangjiang said politely, but his tone was not so sincere.

She worked hard to cook a table of meals for them, and complained before they ate.

They came so suddenly, she was not prepared at all, and she hadn't complained yet, so what did they have to complain about.

The old man was still immersed in his own world, so he didn't understand what Zhu Jiangjiang meant.

He picked up the chopsticks, unable to start.

After hesitating for a long time, he sighed and said: "Forget it, Quan should understand the people's feelings and have fun with the people."

To have fun with the people... Could he be the current emperor?

Zhu Jiangjiang took a deep look at the old man, probably not, is the emperor so old?

However, no matter what his status is, she can't afford to offend him. It's better to eat quickly and send them away early after eating.

It's just that people are not as good as heaven. Before the meal was finished, a group of beggars came outside.

"I beg the little lady to give me something to eat, I beg the little lady to give me something to eat..."

The people outside directly called Zhu Jiangjiang by name, causing the people in the room to misunderstand instantly, and they all cast questioning looks at her, as if she had done something to the people outside.

But she was really wronged, and she was also dumbfounded.

"I'll go out and have a look, you guys eat first." Zhu Jiangjiang put down the bowls and chopsticks, got up and went out in a hurry.

The last ray of light in the day was about to be covered by the darkness in the sky. In front of the dimly lit Pei family courtyard, more than a dozen ragged and unkempt people knelt down.

Although they looked like begging for food, they didn't look like beggars on the street, but more like hardworking and honest villagers.

Zhu Jiangjiang stepped forward quickly, knelt down on one knee in front of several people, held one's arm, and asked, "What are you guys doing?"

Kneeling at the front, the skinny old man supported by her held Zhu Jiangjiang's hand behind his back with his withered hands, and said in a trembling voice, "Little lady, are you little lady Zhu?"

"I am, you guys get up first, can we talk if we have something to say?"

Zhu Jiangjiang tried hard with his hands, but the man refused to stand up, still kneeling.

The villagers who were eating in the village heard the movement at the door of Pei's house, and came out with their bowls to watch the excitement. Several people in Pei's house stopped eating and came out one after another.

"Little lady, old man, I don't know how our Shahe Village offended you and made you so xenophobic, but I can make amends, and I will make amends to you now, please be merciful, magnanimous, and save us... ..."

The thin old man cried and said, and then led the people behind him to kowtow to Zhu Jiangjiang.

Zhu Jiangjiang was so frightened that he hugged the old man's body and refused to let him kowtow. At the same time, he asked in surprise: "Old man, I don't know what you are talking about, Shahe Village? Where is Shahe Village? I have never heard of it!"

She really didn't know where Shahe Village was.

"You guys get up first, please? Xiaoyu, come and help me get some grandpas up..."

Oh my god, is this a big misunderstanding? !

Seeing this, Pei Xiaoyu hurried to help, and Pei Ji also came over.

The three of them helped this one up, and then knelt down on the other one. After a long time of fussing around, they calmed down and helped them all into the room.

The aroma of the food on the table filled the whole room, and as soon as those people entered the door, their attention was all attracted by the food on the table.

But despite this, they still stood still, just swallowing continuously.

"Several fellow villagers, is there some misunderstanding between us? I don't know people from Shahe Village, and I never thought of ostracizing you. What's going on here?"

Zhu Jiangjiang wanted to find out what was going on quickly, she was about to be stared to death by Qin Feng and his group.

The thin old man in the lead was tired and hungry, couldn't stand up at all, and kept shaking. Zhu Jiangjiang helped him sit down, and he slowed down for a while before he had the strength to speak.

"Miss Zhu, we heard that you showed kindness and lent food to everyone in exchange for food, but we have waited for so long, why don't you come to our Shahe Village, everyone in the village is starving to death... "

The people who claimed to be from Shahe Village cried together, and Zhu Jiangjiang was in a panic.

"Fellow, where is your Shahe Village? When I borrowed food for food, I never heard anyone mention your village."

She probably missed Shahe Village before she came here. Her personal rescue, without the help of the court, is difficult to achieve comprehensively based on Zhou Liang's experience.

When I went to those very remote villages before, Zhu Jiangjiang also asked if there were other villages nearby, but I never heard anyone mention Shahe Village.
