After listening to Mother Xu's serious and emotionless story about the princess's mother-in-law, Wan Niang looked at the expressionless Mother Xu and became more and more pleasing to the eye.

The first-class, second-class, and third-class maids who came to this courtyard all came over.

Wan Niang first introduced Mother Xu and handed over the power to her, that is, let the maids listen to Mother Xu's orders when she was not there in the future.

Then I recognized the people and learned what these people were responsible for.

The two first-class maids are called Rushi and Ruhua, both of them look honest and dutiful, Ruhua is the little maid who guarded last night to fetch water for her and brought her water this morning.

There are eight second-class maids, and four of them are assigned to Xiao Ye'er's small cross courtyard.

There are sixteen third-class maids, and eight of them are assigned to Xiao Ye'er's small cross courtyard.

Wan Niang didn't ask much else, the Hou Mansion was so simple, and she was not afraid of any concubines or the like to harm her and the child. I'm just worried that these maids will be bought.

Since Lao Peng's incident, she will not trust the people around her lightly.

Except for Mother Xu, she couldn't think of any reason why the eldest princess would send a housekeeper mother to deal with her.

After recognizing these maids, Wan Niang followed her to Feng'er's Tingfeng Courtyard first, and saw that Feng'er was drawing, so she didn't bother, and then went to the Songbai Courtyard where the old lady was located, to see Xiao Ye'er.

In the small garden next to the Songbai Courtyard, the old lady and the Hou Ye were sitting still on the stone table at this moment.

After hearing Wanniang's movement, the old lady hurriedly shouted: "Daughter-in-law, hurry up and come over and teach the old man me." ”

Hou Ye said helplessly: "Father, you let Wanniang go to your mother first and then come back!" It's back anyway, and there's time to teach you. ”

After hearing this, the old lady glared at the Hou Ye, and then said to Wan Niang with a smile: "Yes, good boy, go and say hello to your grandmother!" Come on! ”

Wan Niang didn't know what they wanted them to teach, so she had to go to the hall to explain the situation to the old lady and then go to the garden.

The old lady was very cooperative and asked Wanniang to go quickly, and she was listening to Xiao Ye'er in the hall talking about what happened to her friends when she was in Qingzhou.

When Wan Niang arrived in the garden, she saw that her father-in-law and grandfather were playing chess.

The old lady asked her to come and watch them, and by the way, where the rules are not right.

In fact, both of them understood how to move this chess, but when they played, they felt that they were moving right, and the other party was wrong.

Wan Niang simply sat on the stool next to the stone table and said, "Why don't I make a plate with my grandfather and father, if there is anything wrong, I will point it out to you, and then you can make another plate, so that this rule can be almost understood." ”

Both elders nodded.

It took half an hour for Wan Niang to teach the two elders to play chess.

It wasn't until the two played three more games that they gradually stopped arguing and began to enter the chess game.

At this time, Rushi in the courtyard also came to Wanniang, saying that the general was looking for his wife.

Wan Niang got up and retired, and the two people who were playing chess only waved their hands and let Wan Niang go back.

After returning to the Maple Leaf Courtyard, Wan Niang saw that there were two more seventeen or eighteen-year-old women dressed as maids in the hall, but their bearing was by no means that of maids.

"Wan Niang, you're back!"

Junsheng stepped forward to hold Wan Niang's hand.

Wan Niang glanced at him with disgust and said, "Hmm! What's the matter with me in such a hurry? ”

Junsheng pointed to the two people in the hall and said, "This is the maid I specially found for you, I can rest assured with them in the future!" ”

As he spoke, he also handed over two deeds of sale to Wan Niang.

Wan Niang took a look, this deed of sale is not long-term, only five years.

"What's your name?"

Wan Niang looked at the two and asked.

The two knelt down, and one of them, looking at the older one, replied: "The slave and maid sisters are now the maids of the lady, and the past has been forgotten, I hope that the lady will give the name and let the slaves and maids be reborn." ”

When Wan Niang heard this, this was not right, these two people had something to do, so she looked at Junsheng suspiciously.

Junsheng knew what Wan Niang was thinking, and said affirmatively: "Don't worry, I won't let Lao Peng's incident happen again, and the lady will do what they want!" ”

Seeing that Junsheng said this, Wan Niang didn't think much about it.

"Good! There are already two big girls in my yard, one is called Rushi and the other is called Ruhua, and you are also big girls after you come, so it's better to just

The woman who spoke before immediately kowtowed and said, "Like a dream, Mrs. Xie gave her name!" ”

When she said this, the woman on the side also kowtowed and said, "If Mrs. Xie gives her name!" ”

"Hmmm! All right, get up, all of you! Go to Mother Xu and ask her to arrange a room for you and explain what you should do every day! ”

Get up like a dream and then retire.

"Where did they come from?"

Seeing that the two were gone, Wan Niang asked Junsheng.

"The two of them were slaves from two neighboring countries that I saved when I was fighting in the past, and I have always kept them on the frontier, and I wrote to them after your accident in Fucheng last time. Don't worry, I checked a few years ago, they are indeed children who were taken away from ordinary families, they were only eleven years old when I rescued them, and they have been learning martial arts from their masters in the frontier all these years. ”

Junsheng briefly explained the origin of the two.

Wan Niang now also knows about the Great Qi Dynasty, before Junsheng defeated the Five Kingdoms, those people living on the border were often harassed, and there are many children who have been captured like this.

It's no wonder that the past has been forgotten in a dream, and this kind of thing is also sad to remember.

Wan Niang reluctantly accepted the two.

He asked, "Then are their martial arts very good?" ”

Junsheng said with a smile: "I won't tell you, when we captured the enemy country, we saved dozens of children of that age, both men and women, I took them all to the master to see, he chose more than a dozen among the men, and he chose the two sisters among the women." The master said that these two sisters are the material for martial arts. They only went to the capital last night to find Zhou Hao and them. I had a few tricks with Zhou Hao last night, and the two of them combined were slightly better than Zhou Hao. ”

"That's amazing!"

Wan Niang sighed.

Zhou Hao's martial arts are similar to Lao Peng's, she has seen Lao Peng deal with several other guards before, Wang Feng and Wang Yun beat him one, Wang Yun was also seriously injured, although Lao Peng was also injured, but it was similar to Wang Feng's injury.

Now her heart is a little more steady, so that the chance of a kidnapping like the one before will be greatly reduced. This is the maid I found for myself, a bodyguard who is alive.

When he was at ease, he casually asked, "What about the other children?" ”

Junsheng said: "Most of the boys who are in good health have stayed in the barracks, and only those who are in poor health choose to be ordinary people at the border." Girls! I think we should all get married now! (To be continued.) )
