Safety Bureau

The store employee smiled and quickly promised to bring several sets for her to choose from. She was truly not wrong in thinking that this young lady must have money to buy clothes that were much more expensive than the villagers outside. This time, she would probably get quite a small share of the sales.

 Two hours later, the store employee brought a basket filled with various clothes for Shuang Zihua to choose from. Shuang Zihua saw that she had brought it for him to see, and he was somewhat relieved. She was afraid that she would get bad cloth and her son would be uncomfortable. Even though the one he was wrapped in now was just her old clothes. But the fabric isn't too bad.

 Shuang Zihua selected five sets of children's clothes for his son at once. along with ten soft diapers During the trip, she would have enough to change for her son without difficulty. As for her own clothes She had chosen four more outfits to change into. She had never dressed this well, even when she was in Father's palace. But now she had to hire a safety bureau. She was afraid that they would see the mother of two children looking poor and that she would not have the money to pay and would not accept the job. So she thought of letting them see that she could really afford it.

 The price of all the clothes Shuang Zihua had purchased totaled twenty taels. The employee said that the price was expensive because the fabric was good. Shuang Zihua didn't think much of it. She changed into the clothes she bought and saw that the fabric was really good, unlike her old clothes which were still a bit rough but not much.

 After paying and placing the cloth package in the shopping cart Shuang Zihua, who still tied Shuang Zizi to his chest as usual, walked out of the store with him in a cart. She whispered to him with a smile. Now that her son was dressed well, he looked even more dignified than the other children. He truly was her pride. Even though she had to give birth to him by herself But her son grew up healthy and strong. They also appear to be more intelligent and knowledgeable than children of the same age.

 Not long after following the path that Xiao Er had indicated, Shuang Zihua saw a large Safeguard Bureau sign in front of him. She saw two doorkeepers standing. They have quite a muscular build. It seemed that if she traveled with them, she wouldn't have to worry about her safety. She hurriedly pulled the cart over and asked a man humbly.

" Brother, I don't know if this place is hired to escort people to the border towns near the Xiongnu clan or not. " Shuang Zihua didn't intend to take a detour. Now it's almost noon again. It's almost time for her to drink milk. If she negotiates quickly She would be able to breastfeed him in the carriage.

" Yes, ma'am, you need to go talk to the head inside first to get a contract signed, " the man told her according to the rules of their protection bureau. In the past, accepting work was not this difficult. But lately, there have been some crafty customers who have come to steal money. They are often overpaid. since then The head of the Safety Bureau must therefore require every customer to sign the employment contract every time instead.

" Then I would like to leave this cart with you for a moment. I will quickly go in and make a contract and then come back to get my cart. " Shuang Zihua entrusted her treasure cart. She wasn't afraid that they would secretly search for things. When they work here Their honesty is likely quite a bit.

" Come in, Miss. " The man held out his hand and let Shuang Zihua go inside. In the reception hall, there will always be people asking about employment first. Then the customer will be escorted to the waiting room to complete the contract.

 Shuang Zihua followed the guide inside into a room. He made her sit and wait a moment. He was going to call the chief and bring her a contract. Shuang Zihua only nodded in response to him. She continued to tease her son, who kept looking left and right with interest.

 Shuang Zihua was playing with his son and soon heard the sound of the door opening. She turned to look with her son and saw a middle-aged man, even more stocky than the two she saw at the door, walking in with two pieces of paper. As for the ink stone and the ink pad for stamping fingerprints, The person who had guided her just now followed along.

 The man looked at the female customer in front of him. He was quite surprised that she, who looked like a young girl, already had a child. However, she intended to employ them. So he had to talk to her first about how to hire her.

 Du An sat across from the mother and daughter. He handed the contract to her first. along with asking if she could read or not Shuang Zihua nodded, acknowledging that she had read it. This was thanks to Anukang who never prevented her from studying with her child.

 Shuang Zihua read the contract and saw that there was still no price or number of people written on it. So she immediately inquired.

" I don't know why there is no indication of the number of people who are protected and their wages. "

" I was about to ask Lady how many people do you want to hire? If you know the number of people So I can calculate the price. "

" Oh, that's how it is. I don't know if you can recommend me or not. My son and I want to reach the border town safely. There were no problems with a large number of people. My journey with my child was not rushed. Please help me. " Shuang Zihua could only beg the man in front of him. She was truly afraid of others, even though it was her first time meeting this man. But his appearance and demeanor were no less convincing. So she reluctantly asked for his advice.

" Then I suggest that Mother hire at least 10 people. During breaks along the way, there will be people who can take turns taking care of you all. " Du An thought for a moment and answered her truthfully. He could see that she was probably a young lady who couldn't do anything. If you bring a few people, you can help cook food for her as well.

" Okay, sir. You can come up with a price for me. By the way, I have another small cart in front. I want to bring it with you. This will prevent the carriage from being too cramped. " Shuang Zihua didn't want to move her box. So she used this excuse again.

" Then you can tie your cart to the carriage, sir. After all, the horse-drawn carriage wouldn't run very fast. Your shopping cart shouldn't be any problem. As for the price, I include labor and distance. From here go to the border town you want. If traveling slowly like you requested It will take about two months. Because the horse-drawn carriage cannot pass through the mountains. "

" No problem. You can tell me the exact price. I don't care how long it takes. I just want my child and I to be safe until our destination. I am satisfied. "

" Then I charge 50 taels, sir. This time, it would be better if I join in protecting you two. Because the distance is not small. I'm afraid your son will get sick from the trip. If something happens I can still help make decisions for my subordinates. "

" Thank you very much. This is your money. "

 Shuang Zihua handed over the money she had set aside last night, originally 50 taels each. She wrapped three packages just in case. Now the price was as she had originally thought. It was really not a price for her and her son's safety.
