"By the way, when will Daddy come back?" she smiled and changed the subject, acquiescing to Min Won's proposal.

Min Yuan's eyes were much softer when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "There are still a lot of things over there, it is estimated that I won't be able to come back before the Wanshou Festival, and I am not in a hurry, after all, the culprit minister Chen He has been escorted back to Beijing, and your father is just appeasing the people over there." He added, "If you're tired of playing in the morning, why don't you stay here and eat." ”

"No, Mu Xiting still has some things to deal with over there, let's rub my mother's food next time." Yi Ying smiled and shirked.

……

Zhaoqiu was in a hurry in the inner room, and when he saw that Yiying was back, he suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw, pounced on it, and cried while pulling Yiying's skirt.

"Zhaoqiu, you have trespassed. Half Moon glanced at her unhappily, and Zhaoqiu stopped crying and let go, but her shoulders were still twitching.

"What's wrong? I've only been out for half a day, what's going on?" Yi Ying sat down, her brows furrowed.

Half Moon helped Zhaoqiu up, and the latter spoke with a crying voice: "Go back...... Back to the county lord, today my sister finally coaxed and went back to the front yard on an errand, but the horse steward went to find her when he heard the news, and he did something to her, my sister was unwilling, he said that they were all engaged people anyway, and there was no such evasion. When my sister came back, she couldn't stop crying, saying that she didn't want to live anymore......"

Yiying has a headache, although the truth is not a good person, but it is really helpless to be like Zhaoqiu's sister Zhaoxue.

"Alright, okay, don't cry. Yi Ying waved his hand and scolded in a low voice: "Since I agreed, I will naturally help you solve it, as a big maid in Mu Xiting, you must always be cautious in your words and deeds, this look is seen by the low-level little maid in the yard, what does it look like." ”

Only then did Zhaoqiu stop crying and muttered, "What the county lord said is that the slave is wrong. As he spoke, his eyes sparkled and he looked at Yiying: "Does the county lord already know what to do?"

Yi Ying smiled and touched the little fox who had been tamed into a well-behaved and quiet place.

……

The next day, the sky was clear, and the back door of Xue's mansion was located.

A person with more than twenty thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls with different looks stood respectfully at the door, waiting for the steward of the Xue family to choose.

After a while, I saw a man in his twenties, with a slender figure, dressed like a scholar, through the corridor to the door.

Ren Yazi was a woman in her forties, and when she saw the visitor, she stepped forward and saluted, and said flatteringly: "Today, the steward Ma has come to see it in person, but it can be tormented by the people's women." ”

"Mother Li is too modest," Steward Ma smiled gently, his eyes swept over the crowd, revealing a look of satisfaction, "Mom has worked hard, and the people picked this time are all first-class and good, so they all stayed." ”

Because she is a person who often has dealings with the house, Steward Ma calls her a mother and a respectful title.

Mother Li was overjoyed when she heard this, and complimented: "It's still the horse steward, and there are a lot of people who want it every time, and it's really a blessing for the woman to meet you today." ”

Steward Ma smiled softly and threw a bulging money bag to Li's mother. Mother Li weighed her weight, accepted it happily, turned her head and rudely pushed in a group of little girls who were looking at Xue Mansion with timid and curious eyes, and bent over to the steward before turning around and leaving.

When the little girls entered the door, he just stood there, not speaking, they had been carefully taught before they came, and knew that they couldn't talk casually in such places, so they were all patient, and only dared to sneak a glimpse of this rich place.

After a while, another steward in his thirties came, and when he saw the steward Ma, he also saluted respectfully.

"Brother Wang, I'll pick a few people to go to my aunt and grandmother, and you will take the rest to the outer courtyard. The steward of the horse was still smiling gently, but the steward surnamed Wang had cold hairs standing on end, and he only bowed his head and did not dare to look at him.

Steward Ma nodded with satisfaction, picked out six of them with good looks and posture, and went towards Xue Minglin's courtyard. The rest of the people were a little disappointed in their eyes, looking at the look of the steward, those sisters must have a good place to go just now.

Steward Wang sighed faintly, and said secretly: This steward is going to marry the sister of the eldest maid next to the county lord, and he still doesn't know how to check it, it's just that, someone has to support him, what does he have?

"Come with me, you are young and don't know right from wrong, don't think that looking good is really good. Steward Wang only made a vague remark, and then left with the little maids who looked at each other when they heard the words.

……

"Mother Qin, I happened to meet you, and I have to bother you to send these four maids to the old lady and the eldest aunt. An old woman dressed in gold and silver came to meet her, it was Mother Qin, who was waiting by Yu's side.

Mother Qin glanced at it, saw that there were six maids, frowned slightly, turned her back, and said in a low voice: "You can be careful, the marriage has just been decided, how dare you be so presumptuous?"

Steward Ma grinned, like a child, and also turned his back to the six people and said coquettishly: "Aunt Qin, you take care of it more, after all, these are all cheap maids who are not in the climate, besides, the eldest aunt and grandmother can't accommodate such a beautiful maid, and it's a pity to send it, isn't it......" When his father was alive, he and Qin's mother often corresponded with each other, and now they also take care of each other.

Mother Qin shook her head helplessly, waved her hand, and left with the four little maids, leaving behind the two most beautiful maids.

The two maids were left behind, a little nervous, and one of them was bolder, so he smiled and asked, "Steward Ma, I don't know where the two of us will be sent?"

Steward Ma's face sank when he heard this: "We, remember your identity clearly, didn't the Li family who brought you in teach you the rules?"

The maid who spoke didn't expect the steward who was still like a humble son to suddenly change her face, and said a little flusteredly: "It's the slave who is wrong." ”

He snorted coldly and said coldly: "The rules of the two of you are not very qualified, I will take you to meet the teaching grandmother in advance, and you can only be on an errand after two or three days of training." ”

The two looked at each other when they heard this, their faces were bitter, but they still stubbornly followed the steward.

A black figure flashed through the flowers and whispered, "It's too much, the first time I was summoned was to ask me to look at this kind of garbage." With a punch, I'm afraid that his life will be gone, so crooked, it's really annoying. ”

……

"County Lord, there's news from Lord Yanhui, saying that people have arrived at Qingfeng Temple. Zhaoqiu's eyes flashed, and his face was full of anticipation, "The county lord wants to let my sister come over?"

"No, that would be too deliberate. Yi Ying put some perfume on her face, and her white and tender face brought some pink, "Send someone to tell the eldest princess." ”

"Yes. Zhaoqiu's face was full of joy and hurried out.

Yiying stood up and was very satisfied with herself in the mirror, this outfit was just right. I really didn't expect that the first big battle after entering the mansion was for a small steward.

However, killing chickens and monkeys seems to be a good choice?
