Empress Dowager Xiao saw that the elderly female slave girl loved her sister so much, and her original kind nature was also stimulated, so Empress Dowager Xiao said to the trafficker: "I am willing to pay 600 taels to buy these three female slaves back." The trafficker nodded www.biquge.info listened and was about to agree to the transaction, but at this time, the original customer was unwilling, and he also offered to buy the three female slaves for six hundred taels of silver. Seeing that Empress Dowager Xiao and the customer were all going to buy, the trafficker was happy, and he proposed that whoever gave the highest amount of silver would belong to whomever he wanted.

Maybe this trafficker saw that the noble lady of Empress Dowager Xiao liked these three female slaves very much, so he deliberately brought it up. Empress Dowager Xiao didn't want to argue with the traffickers, so she agreed, anyway, it didn't matter if the female slave she liked was a few hundred, or even a thousand taels of silver. In the end, Empress Dowager Xiao paid 1,000 taels of silver to buy the three female slaves back together.

Empress Dowager Xiao named the eldest slave girl Dazhu, her sister Xiaozhu, and the other slave girl Xiaoju.

Although Empress Dowager Xiao had a plan in her heart, she gradually replaced part of the power of the original four maids with the newly purchased female slaves. Of course, it also depends on the actual situation in the future, if the original four maids are still loyal to herself, then Empress Dowager Xiao will use these newly cultivated cronies to replace other powerful ministers. Anyway, now Empress Dowager Xiao wants to do it just in case, and cultivating it early can replace the cronies of the ministers.

Of course, Empress Dowager Xiao also understands that this plan is easy to think about, but it is difficult to do in practice. She didn't know what the talents of the five female slaves she had newly bought? Whether they can be cultivated or not is a question, and as for who they want to replace, it is a matter for the future.

Now what Empress Dowager Xiao has to do is to test the talents of these five female slaves as soon as possible, and by the way, let them establish a relationship with herself, as for whether they can bear the heavy responsibility of power in the future, they need to take their time step by step.

Yun'er saw that his sister Empress Dowager Xiao sold back these five female slaves, he was happy and felt disappointed, in fact, he liked those female slaves who were beautifully dressed and beautiful. But he knew his opinion, and his sister wouldn't listen.

Empress Dowager Xiao bought the five female slaves back and placed them in the courtyard where Yun'er lived. This is one of the most secret strongholds of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and the Empress Dowager Xiao decided to train these five female slaves here to become talents.

Empress Dowager Xiao first asked the maid in the courtyard to give the five female slaves a hot bath, and then gave each of them three sets of clean new clothes to change into, so that the five female slaves were dressed up clean and fresh; Then Empress Dowager Xiao asked the servants in the courtyard to prepare a very sumptuous dinner for them.

These female slaves were worried every day, feeling that their fate might be unlucky in the future, and they couldn't imagine that they would meet such a kind lady, so they instinctively felt grateful to the Empress Dowager Xiao.

When the five female slaves finished dinner, Empress Dowager Xiao gathered them together and clearly told them that their future task was to study and learn martial arts; After three months, I will come and test their results in person. As for how they called themselves, Empress Dowager Xiao told them very kindly that she regarded them as relatives, so it was okay for them to call themselves Aunt Xiao.

Empress Dowager Xiao knows that if she uses her identity as the queen mother to let people sell their lives for her, it is because people are afraid of your power and have to work for you; But if the other party doesn't know that she is the queen mother, they will still give you their lives, then they are really loyal to you.

In fact, now Empress Dowager Xiao is really worried not about her lack of talents, but about the lack of cronies who are loyal to herself. After all, as the queen mother of a country, she has a lot of talents under her, but how many of those talents can be loyal to herself! Empress Dowager Xiao really has no bottom in her heart.

After all, thinking that Han Jiangxue originally belonged to her most trusted and outstanding talent, Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't rest assured; In addition, she also has her own four cronies and maids, she is all suspicious, Empress Dowager Xiao is so suspicious, who else can really make her feel at ease!

Even her biological son, the current little emperor Xiao Xuan, Empress Dowager Xiao is worried that he will be instigated by others, and when his wings are hardened, he will be unfilial to himself.

In fact, careful analysis is not that Empress Dowager Xiao really has no talents loyal to her, in the final analysis, Empress Dowager Xiao no longer believes in anyone else in her heart; Of course, this is no wonder Empress Dowager Xiao, after all, Empress Dowager Xiao stepped on her husband's corpse to let her son ascend to the emperor's throne. Who else can trust someone who can poison and kill their husbands?

Although Empress Dowager Xiao is at the core of imperial power and is worshiped by all the people, she must not sit back and relax, she knows that if she trusts others, or if she is not careful, she may fall into a desperate situation where there is no place to be buried.

Empress Dowager Xiao herself knows martial arts, so she personally taught them simple martial arts tips after dinner, and as for Yun'er, she often received personal guidance from Empress Dowager Xiao in the past, so her martial arts are much better than these five female slaves.

For these five female slaves who have just come out of the fire pit, they also understand the importance of self-improvement, and now this kind lady is willing to teach them martial arts, they are all unbelievable, they all sincerely call Empress Dowager Xiao Aunt Xiao.

Because Yun'er's martial arts are also above these female slaves, Empress Dowager Xiao asked Yun'er to help her teach them simple martial arts when she has time.

Then Empress Dowager Xiao asked if the five female slaves had ever read? How well do they test their literacy? Regarding reading, Xiaolan, who poisoned her father's little wife, she had also read and was literate. So she first replied that she had read books and knew many words.

Empress Dowager Xiao nodded and said that she was fine, and she then asked the other female slaves about their studies. These female slaves also introduced themselves.

Dazhu, Xiaozhu sisters, their two sisters Dazhu is a little more literate, and their younger sister is less literate, obviously their two sisters may be from a big family in the Chu State.

In addition, although the unknown origin of Xiao Ju is younger than Da Zhu, but her literacy is not less than that of Da Zhu, but this Xiao Ju is quiet and not lively, and she is very low-key when she introduces herself, which makes Empress Dowager Xiao a little interested in her.

Only one of the five slave girls had never read and could not read, and that was Xiaomei; Because Xiaomei was born in a lowly tribal family, people in lowly tribes don't read much, especially even girls who have read; Xiaomei's mother died early, and her father was unable to help her go to school when she was a child, and when her father died of illness, she was even more unlucky, and was sold as a slave by her people.

However, although Xiaomei is illiterate, her survival ability is stronger than that of other female slaves, maybe she has been born hard since she was a child!

In order to further test their writing skills, Empress Dowager Xiao asked them to write an essay entitled "What is the first thing you think of when you encounter death?"

Xiaomei can't read, and she can't even hold a brush, so she can only watch the other four people write, and Yun'er came over to teach her how to hold a brush and how to write calligraphy. In fact, the Liao State was originally a tribal country, so there were many illiterate people in the country. On the contrary, many families in Chu are generally literate. (To be continued.) )
