Chapter 148: Screening
"Ho, my lord. Yu Xingming stepped forward and greeted Master He with a chuckle.
In the past, he disdained to greet a character like Lord He, and he didn't like to meddle in things. It's just that looking at the woman in black who fell in front of him today, he felt a little unbearable in his heart inexplicably.
"Oh, it's Lord Wei, just now I asked people to go and see you, but the attendant only said that you couldn't pull away, so I had to give up. Since Lord Wei is here, does it mean that the affairs of the Lord are over?" Lord He's anger had dissipated without a trace when he spoke to Yu Xingming, and only a smile was left on his face.
"Lord Ho seems to be very busy. Wei Xingming didn't ask much, but the implication was that he wanted Lord He to explain the matter in front of him.
The look of embarrassment on Master He's face flashed, and he said with a dry smile: "It's just a thief, but it makes Wei Da worry, and I am about to send someone to send her to see the official." ”
"Yes. Wei Xingming's face showed a look of confusion, "I look at the woman's appearance, it seems that I am about to die, could it be that Lord He wants to send a corpse to see the official? Looking at her appearance, she seems to be still young, not that she has done something to offend Lord He, Wei is willing to ask her for mercy here, hoping that Lord He will spare her life." ”
"This ......" Lord He froze with a smile on his face, and after thinking for a while, he leaned into Wei Xingming's ear with an embarrassed face and whispered: "I am dissatisfied with Lord Wei said that this one was specially sent by Qing'an Hou to kill me." Today I wanted to come to the Lord Wei to discuss important matters, I was busy with business and I waited outside, who knew that this little girl suddenly appeared to take my life, if it were not for the fact that I carried a strong guard with martial arts, I am afraid that my life would be confessed here today. ”
Wei Xingming cast an inquiring glance at Lord He, as if pondering the truth of his words. If it were an ordinary person, he might not care, but today when he heard Lord He say the three words Qing'anhou, Wei Xingming suddenly felt that things were not simple. He naturally knew about the things that Lord He didn't deal with Qing'an Hou, and he was also very clear about the relationship between Huainan Houfu and Qing'an Houfu as an insider, so he didn't dare to underestimate the matter involving Qing'an Hou.
If that is the case, then this matter cannot be underestimated. Yu Xingming said this, but his eyes couldn't stop looking at the woman who fell to the ground. looks like just a delicate woman who is still young, but it turns out to be a killer?
As if sensing something, the woman suddenly turned around and stretched out her hand to tug at the corner of Yu Xingming's clothes.
"Help me. The woman's tone was weak and hoarse, as if she was enduring great pain, but her strength in grabbing the corner of Yu Xingming's clothes was surprisingly great, as if she believed that Yu Xingming was the one who could save her life.
Many years later, Wei Xingming will still recall this scene in front of him, and sincerely sigh that the arrangement of fate is really unpredictable. Their reunion is in such a situation, seeing each other but not knowing each other, and when they know everything, it is too late.
Under such circumstances, although Wei Xingming had the intention to save the woman, he didn't dare to let her go like this. After all, her identity is a killer sent by Qing'an Hou to take the life of Lord He, and if it is not handled properly, it is very likely to cause trouble.
……
Su Qi followed a middle-aged woman into the house, and Hongcao also walked in with him.
"Mother Dong, I heard that your subordinates here are good, I came here today to buy a few clever girls to go back. As long as the girl is smart and sensible, silver is not a problem. Su Qi touched his non-existent beard as he spoke, and made a gesture of being a young man.
"The old woman has been doing this for decades, to say the least, and there is not a single slave who is not clever in everything. Master Su, just relax, I will definitely pick a few clever girls for you. It was the Ya Po here who replied, that is, the mother Dong in Su Qi's mouth.
Although these words may be exaggerated, Su Qi did not show any doubts about them. If Dong's mother had a bad reputation, she wouldn't have come to this place on purpose, this time she really wanted to find a few clever girls, but she didn't go over to buy them back to serve herself.
Su Qi put his lips to Dong's mother's ear and whispered a few words, unexpectedly seeing Dong's mother's surprised and confused gaze.
"Master Su, you mean that you are ...... for Qing'an," Dong's mother stopped her mouth at the right time when she said this, "You really chose the next person for that master?"
Su Qi bowed his head, and also cast a knowingly inquiring look at Dong's mother, "Is there still a fake thing for this kind of thing?" But I came this time just to take the lead in the housekeeper, I will first screen the girls who can see the eyes, so as not to bother with selecting them at that time." ”
Dong's mother showed a thoughtful look on her face, she has been a tooth wife for decades, and it is not unbelievable that she has to send someone over to screen the girl first, but she really has little knowledge. However, looking at the handsome face in front of him, it didn't seem that he was lying, especially after seeing Su Qi's jade plaque engraved with the logo of Qing'an Houfu hanging on his waist, Dong's mother had fewer and fewer doubts in her heart.
"I'm going to call the girls, and the boy just chooses first. The confused look on the face of Mother Dong, who had figured it out, suddenly dissipated without a trace, and she happily went to call the servants for Su Qi to choose.
Su Qi really came to choose a girl for Qing'an Houfu this time, but the girl she chose was a girl who could listen to her instructions and bring her benefits.
The so-called selection, while considering the appearance, character, and wit of the woman, is also indispensable, that person can obey her instructions and do things for her. Being the maid of Qing'an Houfu can be regarded as entering the interior of Qing'an Houfu, although not every one of them can play a role, but it is better than nothing.
Su Qi's way of choosing the maids is also peculiar, she did not let all the girls gather in one place, but let them be questioned and considered one by one, which is really time-consuming, but for the sake of the money she gave Dong's mother, she still readily agreed to this approach.
As early as when she came to Dong's mother's place, Su Qi had already thought of a reason to persuade those maids to do things for her. As a person who has fallen into the hands of Ya Po and let him sell, his life freedom is tied to a thin deed of sale, and one of the benefits that Su Qi promised to those people is that he can redeem them for them, but whether it succeeds or not, it is not something she can fully control.
Before leaving, Su Qi specially instructed Dong's mother not to mention this matter in front of the people in Qing'an Houfu, so as not to lose the face of those people, and Dong's mother naturally responded repeatedly. can get more silver, and it doesn't cost her any effort, who doesn't want to do such a good thing?
