Chapter 836 Are the secret guards hiding so well?

Although Shen Xia couldn't accept it in her heart, she knew that what Ling said was the reality.

He wasn't wrong either.

In this era, some people sold themselves into slavery, while others were sold.

Whatever the case, it’s because of lack of money.

She cannot change the status quo of this era because she has no power to change it.

But if everyone has money, then they won’t sell themselves at a low price.

There are fewer and fewer girls like Jixiang who are sold.

In the former Fanhua Village, there were people selling their daughters because they couldn't afford food, and there were also people selling their sons.

But in most cases, the daughter is sold first, and the son is sold only when there is no other choice.

So later, because Shen Xia's processing plant opened, the current situation of several surrounding villages changed.

The mentality of favoring boys over girls is slowly changing.

On the contrary, families with girls are happier.

Because most processing factories require women.

The wages are also high, and even if there is only one person working in the processing plant, he or she can support the whole family economically.

Although this is the capital.

Although there are many rich people, there are also many people around who cannot afford to eat.

Because the land in these places has been enclosed by nobles and wealthy people.

The common people could only rent land in the village and live there, and they could barely get enough food and clothing in a year.

So whenever there is a disease, one has to sell his children.

Shen Xia thought about those women who had the same miserable life as Jixiang.

I'm afraid that after entering the mansion, few people can come out alive.

This era is too harsh on civilians, and even harsher on women.

She couldn't change anything else, she could only help the poor people around her get a job so they wouldn't have to sell their children.

There are fewer and fewer women like Jixiang.

Shen Xia looked at some ripe fiery red fruits in the front yard.

Looking at Feng Qi next to him, he said, "Go down and pick two red ones. I'll check if they're ripe."

Feng Qi nodded: "Yes."

After coming up for a while.

Shen Xia looked at the fiery red fruit on the table.

Ling Heng looked at the strange fruit and felt that Shen Xia always came up with something strange, and that she was a mystery from head to toe.

Feng Yu was asked to pick two, and he only picked two.

Ruyi took the knife and Shen Xia separated them by herself because Ruyi didn't know how to do it.

Shen Xia cut it into pieces.

Shen Xia looked at Ling Heng: "Eat it like this."

Ling Heng nodded: "Okay."

Shen Xia originally wanted to tell him about the benefits of the fire red fruit, but then she thought about it and decided to tell him that eating more fruits can supplement vitamins.

He doesn't even know what vitamins are!

So I just said: "Eating more fruits is good for your health."

Shen Xia doesn’t know where Li Yi is?

Are the secret guards hiding so well?

She and Ling Heng split it in half, and Ruyi and Feng Qi and the others split the other half.

Then ask people to arrange for fruit farmers to pick the ripe fruits.

Too much.

Shen Xia now thinks that there is actually no need to plant too much of this fruit, because it is not like grapes, which can be used to make wine if not eaten all.

Looking at the dozen or so baskets of bright red fruits on the roadside.

This fruit can be stored for half a month, or even longer.

There are still many unripe fruits.

The only thing we can do is ask the fruit farmers to pick the fruits in batches and have the processing room’s carriages transport them to the Princess’s Mansion.

Shen Xia looked at the hard-working fruit farmers.

Then he glanced at Ruyi next to him.

Ruyi understood, then stepped forward and handed the person in charge a money bag: "You have worked hard today."

The old farmer looked at the bag of money Ruyi handed over and quickly waved his hand, saying, "No need, young lady. The Third Master has already paid us for our work, how can he charge us extra money?"

Ruyi said, "I will accept the reward from the master."

The old man glanced at Shen Xia, bowed his head and said politely: "Thank you, Princess."

The old man had always thought that Shen Xia was the Third Master's wife.

Since the last visit of the Princess Royal, the old man realized that the usually polite lady was actually Princess Anping, which was really a surprise.

So he looked at Shen Xia with particular reserve.

Everyone around knew that this manor belonged to Princess Anping.

And the third master is the princess's husband.

It turns out that some people with evil intentions, seeing that those in charge here all have country accents, want to get a share of the profits.

Afterwards, those who were punished never dared to do it again.

After picking the fruits.

Shen Xia asked Ruyi to take a few to Jixiang's grave as tribute.

And Shen Xia followed Ling Heng into the carriage.

Shen Xia glanced around: "Why can't I see Li Yi?"

Ling Heng smiled and said, "If you can see him, he is no longer a secret guard."

"Is he a secret guard?"

Ling Heng shook his head: "No."

"Killer." Shen Xia continued to guess.

This time Ling Heng did not deny it.

Shen Xia did not ask any further questions. He just asked about the surface.

If she has anything she wants to ask, she can just ask Li Yi directly.

Shen Xia was staggering on the road.

Ling Heng directly took the person into his arms.

Shen Xia was stunned: "What?"

"If you want to sleep, sleep in my arms, or you might accidentally hit your forehead." Ling Heng said gently.

Shen Xia looked at the road ahead and nodded: "Okay."

There was no long break at noon.

I feel a little sleepy now.

Arrived at the mansion.

Shen Xia asked someone to carry the fruit in.

They were immediately distributed to various courtyards, whether it was the Princess's Mansion or the Gu Mansion next door.

I also took some for Zhao Lin.

Zhao Lin's wife has been staying in the city since she was pregnant, and sometimes she would come to the house to accompany Song's mother.

In addition, Shen Xia also had some sent to Zheng Jinshu, Tu Chenyu, and Xia Shuran.

Finally, some were selected and sent to the palace, and the emperor and the empress each received some.

I left a message and asked the imperial physician to check it out.

The reason why Shen Xia left such a message was completely to avoid suspicion.

Because if something goes wrong with the food you eat, you won’t be accused of having other intentions.

So it would be best to let the imperial physician check it out.

Not sending it!

She was also worried that others would make things difficult for the princess's family.

Although it’s okay once or twice, what about eight or ten times?

Shen Xia picked some more and asked Ruyi to take them.

Go to Xiaotian’s yard.

Ling Heng looked at what Ruyi was holding: "Thank you, Shen Shen, this is mine!"

Ruyi looked at the fruit in her hand awkwardly: "Madam."

Shen Xia looked at Ling Heng, who had accompanied her for the entire afternoon.

Nod slightly.

Just choose it yourself.

Then let Ruyi select some and send them to Liyi.

I picked some others for Feng Hua to take.

Go to the backyard.

Before leaving, Shen Xia told the people in the front yard that they would have dinner together in the evening in the front yard.

Ling Heng looked at him and said, "We also need to invite the eldest princess next door."

The servant looked at Ling Heng and then at Shen Xia.

Shen Xia could only nod.

Ling Heng curled his lips, looking good.

Walking happily all the way to the backyard.

After parting ways, he looked at the fruit in Ruyi's hand.

snort!

The one in her hand was chosen by her personally, not Li Yi's.

Shen Xia arrived at Xiaotian's yard.

There was no one in the yard.

Shen Xia was curious about where this person had gone.

Shen Xia asked Feng Hua to give her the fruit and she took it to the main hall.

As a result, no one was seen in the main hall.

But there was a servant.
