As for the sesame cake, Shen Chaomu brought it back for the little beggars to eat, and she also ate a small piece herself.
That was the first sesame seed bun she had ever eaten, and also the first sesame seed bun someone had given her. She still remembers the taste of that sesame seed bun, it was so fragrant...
When Zhang Xiuyuan heard the girl say that she didn't find him later, he smiled and said, "I accompanied my sister to Tangzhou Prefecture to take the imperial examination. The day I met you, I was just about to return to Renhe County."
Shen Chaomu understood, so that's how it was, no wonder she never met him again.
Looking at the handsome and gentle young man in front of him, Shen Chaomu was dazed for a moment, and his heart softened. It was great to meet him again.
Suddenly, Shen Chaomu saw the red back of Zhang Xiuyuan's hand.
She immediately remembered that it was the mark left when she had just opened the boy's hand. She had opened it with great force.
Shen Chaomu suddenly became flustered: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I thought, I thought..."
Shen Chaomu briefly recounted the incident with the crazy woman.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you." If she knew it was the boy, she would rather hit herself than hit the boy.
However, Zhang Xiuyuan's face darkened after hearing her words. He didn't expect that there would be such a person.
Little beggars are also living beings.
Zhang Xiuyuan shook his head: "It's okay, I understand you, it's me who didn't think it through."
Shen Chaomu felt really guilty, but she didn't know what to do.
After recovering from the shock of meeting Zhang Xiuyuan, Shen Chaomu immediately thought of the sick Shen Ci.
“Where’s Shen Ci?”
Zhang Xiuyuan hurriedly told her that Qing'er took Chen Ci to the clinic.
Shen Chaomu breathed a sigh of relief, and felt even more grateful towards Zhang Xiuyuan and the young man named Qing'er.
Shen Ci went to the clinic, and he would probably be fine.
Zhang Xiuyuan noticed the bruises on her face and asked, "What's wrong with your face?"
Shen Chaomu realized it belatedly and covered his face with his hands. His eyes flickered as he shook his head: "Nothing, I just fell accidentally."
Zhang Xiuyuan could see that the marks could not have been caused by a fall, but the girl deliberately concealed it, so he did not ask any more questions.
In fact, the bruises on Shen Chaomu's face were not caused by falling, but by being beaten.
In order to treat Shen Ci by chance, she went to find the daughter of that official, was beaten, and finally took the money and bought two doses of medicine.
"By the way, I came here today to talk to you about something." Zhang Xiuyuan changed the subject.
He told them that his Yipinzhai restaurant was opening and he needed someone to distribute flyers.
"I'd like to hire you to distribute flyers for three days. I'll pay you a fixed salary every day and also provide you with cakes. I'll need about twenty people. Are you willing?"
Shen Chaomu didn't expect that the young man came to the ruined temple just to hire them.
You know, for little beggars, apart from begging, they have no other ability to make money, and no store will hire them.
There was no such thing as child labor in ancient times.
Besides, handing out flyers is a simple job, even a little beggar can do it.
Not to mention that Zhang Xiuyuan was paying them a fixed salary, even if he wanted them to work for free, Shen Chaomu would have agreed. The young man was a great benefactor who saved most of them.
Shen Chaomu agreed to take the little beggars to Yipinzhai to distribute flyers tomorrow.
Zhang Xiuyuan took a pastry wrapped in oil paper, took out a piece from it and handed it to Shen Chaomu: "This is a pastry from my shop, try it and see if it tastes good."
