Thirty-six strategies, the best strategy for beauty.

The one who came in was a pretty maid with a pretty face, so Ximenqing didn't reply for a while, but sat on the bed and swept his eyes over the little maid with his head down.

"Oh, go and tell the kitchen to make me some porridge and send it over, hurry up" Ximenqing's voice was quite kind.

"Yes, sir," said the little maid and withdrew.

The little maid thought in her heart, "The old man is not as fierce and evil as Yuehong said, he is quite kind" couldn't help but relax her tense nerves, and her steps became much brisker.

The little maid was the girl picked by the second lady Li Jiaoer from the Yihong Courtyard on South Street, and it was in the afternoon after she knew that Yuexiang and the eldest lady died, that is, the afternoon when Ximen Qing was in Yihong Courtyard. Ximenqing's second wife is the former top brand of Yihong Courtyard on Na Nan Street, and she is also the sister of the owner and bustard of Na Yihong Courtyard, after Ximen Qing married Wu Yueniang, she had a hot fight with Li Jiaoer, and it didn't take long for her to marry Li Jiaoer again, because she already had a big lady, Li Jiaoer could only be wronged and become the second lady. It's just that the reason why Ximen Qing married Li Jiaoer is unknown, maybe it's because Li Jiaoer is the top brand in Yihong Courtyard, and her figure and appearance should be no problem, or because she has a sister who runs the largest brothel in Qinghe County, or because of what, so these reasons are unknown.

Li Jiaoer is much happier than Wu Yueniang, and she was still very favored by Ximenqing in the early days after passing the door, until Ximenqing married the third lady. Ximenqing has always had a newcomer and forgot the old, but every time he marries a wife, Ximenqing's business seems to be bigger, from a small crude medicine shop, slowly became a tyrant in Qinghe County, Li Jiaoer with a sister who opened a brothel also had no choice but to stay in the backyard of Ximenqing's mansion. It's just that he was once the most famous head brand in Qinghe County, how could he be willing to be lonely, I just don't know how many hats he has worn to the Ximen officials.

When Wu Yueniang was there, although she was not favored by Ximenqing, after all, she came early and pressed the backyard of Ximenqing's mansion to death, and now the eldest lady's maid Yuexiang has disappeared, and the eldest lady has also quarreled with the master, and then she has seen people for a long time. These are all in Li Jiaoer's eyes, so she couldn't wait to return to Yihong Courtyard that afternoon, and it was a coincidence that she didn't bump into Ximenqing.

It's just that no one has ever known that the eldest lady Wu Yueniang is dead, except for Yuehong.

Not long after, the little maid came to the Ximen Qing House with a bowl of porridge.

"Sir...... The old man got up and drank porridge......" The little maid's voice was crisp, and when she saw that Ximenqing was still lying with her eyes closed, she screamed again.

"Master, master......"

"Hmm...... It's coming."

Ximenqing may be really squinting, or he may be pretending to be asleep, thinking that the little maid may come to the bed to wake him up, he is taking some measures to take advantage of the situation, and he will be able to have something happen with the little maid again, but the little maid just stood at the table with the porridge and shouted, I don't know why he didn't put the porridge on the table.

"Ah, sir, you're awake, I'll put the porridge on the table for you, I'll go out first"

After saying that, the little maid put the porridge on the table and turned around to go out.

"Wait, you...... What's your name?"

Ximenqing didn't expect this little girl to be so unpopular, so he had to slowly figure it out.

"Back to the master, the slave maid is called Sheng Xiao" The little maid still lowered her head and looked at her toes.

"Oh, Sheng Xiao, come here, come to the bedside, let me take a good look, master"

Ximenqing is not ready to go around in circles with this little girl, just because he saw that it was a fresh face and was still young, so he didn't think it was so direct and a little tactful, but this little girl was too immoral, and Ximenqing couldn't wait.

"Sir, you ...... This ......" The little maid was a little flustered, her footsteps did not move, and her fingers were twisted together.

"Did you hear that, come here," Ximen Qing said sharply.

"Sir...... Plentiful...... Spare me," Sheng Xiao cried, she knew what was going to happen next.

"Come here"

Sheng Xiao still didn't move, Ximenqing was still half-sitting, leaning against the bed and didn't move, the room was quiet, and the little girl's rapid breathing became obvious.

"Did you hear that, come here" Ximenqing turned his head to Sheng Xiao, his eyes staring at the little girl, and there was some anger on his face that could be seen.

"Master......" Sheng Xiao knelt down, kowtowed his head frantically, banged on the ground, and kept muttering "Master, spare me".

"Hey" Ximenqing was a little disappointed, tore off the quilt, got out of bed, walked to Sheng Xiao barefoot, squatted down, stretched out his hand to stop the little maid's head that was about to kowtow, and raised the little maid's chin.

The little girl had tears in her eyes, and looked at Ximenqing in horror, wanting to struggle but not struggling, trembling all over.

Ximenqing raised his left hand, touched the little girl's somewhat bloody forehead, and then whispered:

"Look, it's all broken, it's broken, but it's not good-looking" The voice was full of regret and pampering, and the hand holding the little girl's chin still didn't loosen.

"Go ahead, go back and clean up, come and take care of me tomorrow"

After speaking, Ximenqing let go of his hand, then got up, pulled over a stool and sat down, picked up the bowl and began to drink the porridge.

The little maid was probably frightened, and sat down on the ground for a while, then got up, turned and walked out.

The little maid went out, tears fell, when she was sold to the building, she was already desperate for herself, and she was ready to exchange her body for life, but then she was suddenly asked to leave by the second lady of Ximen Mansion, which seemed to have ignited some hope, Ximen Mansion is a big family in Qinghe County after all, but now, it seems to be no different from that building.

Within a few steps, Sheng Xiao arrived at the door of the second lady Li Jiaoer, wiped her tears, wiped her face, pushed the door and went in. As soon as Sheng Xiao entered the door, Li Jiaoer, who was sitting on the bed, immediately got up and greeted her.

"How's that, how's that?"

"What...... What's going on?" the little maid was a little confused.

"How's the master?"

"Oh, sir, sir, sir, he's good."

Li Jiao'er turned around and sat on the stool, then raised her head and asked again.

"I mean, how did the lord treat you?"

"Ah, the master is very good to me"

"How's it going?"

"It's just good."

Li Jiaoer seems to be impatient, her voice is not as gentle as it was at the beginning, and her voice is much louder.

"Did the master do anything to you?"

"Oh, my lord asked me to start serving him tomorrow"

The little maid is still a little grateful to Li Jiaoer, so she told Li Jiaoer the truth.

"Ah, what's wrong with your forehead" After speaking, he got up and touched the little girl's forehead with his hand.

The little maid took a step back, "Madam, I'm fine, I accidentally hit a tree"

"Quick, sit down, I'll go find medicine for you" Li Jiaoer helped Sheng Xiao to sit on the stool she had just sat on, and went to look for medicine, just muttering:

"Don't leave a scar."
