Fang sat down and took a sip of tea, and Xiao Yu heard a somewhat familiar voice: "Subordinate Jiang Qingyuan, who is in charge of the guards in the mansion, has met the county lord of Le'an." ”

Jiang Qingyuan?!

Xiao Yu squirted out a sip of tea before swallowing it, and accidentally choked and coughed non-stop.

The rain and bamboo next to him made a mess, patting the back, soothing the heart, wiping the water stains, and tidying up the clothes...... Not open.

But it was only a matter of moments, and silence was restored inside the screen.

Xiao Yu sat calmly and elegantly on the chair, still puzzled, and his eyes seemed to penetrate the screen: How did Jiang Qingyuan become a guard?

Xia Zhi and Banxia, who had seen Jiang Qingyuan in the back, also glanced at each other, and were also a little surprised.

I only heard Jiang Qingyuan say slightly apologetically: "The subordinates did not inform in advance, which frightened the county lord, and asked the county lord to punish him." ”

Xiao Yu had come to his senses, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help but slander in his heart: I see that you are clearly intentional, and you are punished, and I will punish you after saving you, isn't that ungrateful?

The tone was kind: "Jiang Gongzi...... What did Counselor Jiang say, if I hadn't met you that day, I wouldn't be sitting here today. Fang Cai just suddenly saw the old man, but it was the guard in the mansion, so he was a little surprised, which made Jiang Shen Ling smile. ”

Jiang Qingyuan said respectfully: "That's just a gesture, if someone else sees it, it will do it, and the county lord doesn't have to keep it in mind." ”

But Xiao Yu was still a little uncomfortable on the screen.

People who were originally equal friends and even had kindness to themselves suddenly became subordinate, and it was difficult for anyone to adapt to them.

Heard Jiang Qingyuan say this. Xiao Yu coughed lightly, and did not continue to dwell on this matter, but turned around and asked, "Why did Counselor Jiang go to the county lord's mansion to be a guard?" ”

As far as Xiao Yu knows. Different from the guards of ordinary rich and noble families, the guards of the princesses' mansions and palaces of the royal families and nobles in Daqi, except for a very few of them are the guards of the various prefectures, most of them are transferred from the Praetorian Guards in the capital, and their expenses are also distributed by the court. And like her, who doesn't have any power background, the guards in the palace are naturally all from the forbidden army.

In this way, Jiang Qingyuan should have been in the Praetorian Guard before.

Sure enough, I heard Jiang Qingyuan say: "My subordinates were originally captains under the command of General Meng of the Black Tiger Camp of the Forbidden Army, and they had previously arrived in Yong'an County because of some tasks. and got acquainted with General Zhong, and then had the pleasure of meeting the county lord. This time, I happened to hear General Meng talking about sending people to guard the county lord's mansion, so his subordinates volunteered to come. ”

Xiao Yu understood. However, she was still a little unaccustomed to Jiang Qingyuan claiming to be a subordinate, but she also smiled with a smile: "Since I am an old man, then I am more at ease, and the safety of the county lord's mansion in the future will depend more on Jiang Shenling." I thank you in advance. ”

Jiang Qingyuan hurriedly said: "The county lord is serious. Guarding the county lord's mansion is a subordinate matter. ”

After saying a few more words, Jiang Qingyuan submitted the roster of the guards of the county lord's mansion, and explained in detail the arrangement and rotation of the guards in various places.

After listening carefully, Xiao Yu said: "Just arrange it according to what Jiang Shenling said." ”

And Jiang Qingyuan didn't have much to say, so he bowed and retired.

After a while, Xiao Yu raised his head: "Let the next one come in." ”

It's a lot simpler below.

In addition to the guards, the big and small stewards, maids, servants, miscellaneous servants, and horsemen in the county lord's mansion were all selected or dispatched by the Xiao Mansion, and many of them were born in the family, and they were all honest and reliable. Xiao Yu hardly has to worry about anything.

Naturally, the deeds of sale of these people were also given to Xiao Yu together.

The chief steward was personally selected by Mrs. Xiao. has also been by the old lady's side for many years, about forty years old, surnamed Yin, round face, and looks kind. After she came in, she respectfully greeted Xiao Yu and handed over the account book.

Xiao Yu hurriedly asked Yuzhu to set up a seat.

Subsequently, each manager also explained in detail the big and small affairs and arrangements he was in charge of, and Xiao Yu gave a few words of encouragement before they went back to do things.

So it was time for lunch.

After lunch, Xiao Yu took a nap, and when he got up, he heard that there were a few maids who could punch and kick at home.

Xiao Yu himself had learned some martial arts, and when he heard it, he was immediately interested, and immediately asked him to bring someone over, and then went to change his clothes.

Those maids were actually Hua Yue worried about Xiao Yu's safety, and she especially asked people to find someone who bought her for self-defense, which was far from being comparable to the usual girls who knew how to defend themselves.

Old Madam Xiao saw that Hua Yue was so interested in Xiao Yu, and she was a little satisfied with her.

However, when the Xiao Mansion sent it, it deliberately did not mention the matter, so the county lord's mansion did not know the inside story, and no one wanted to find out the bottom of it.

The four new maids were all sixteen or seventeen years old, all dressed in the same color, and looked heroic.

Xiao Yu only saw a few people, so he proposed a hands-on comparison.

These maids are specially trained, and in addition to learning martial arts, they are also good at observing words and feelings. Although the little girl in front of the meeting is dressed neatly, she doesn't look like a subordinate, and after hearing that she is going to do it with a few people, the maid next to her also shows an anxious look.

According to the situation of the county lord of Le'an that they had learned before, several people easily guessed that the girl in front of them was their new master.

Now it's difficult.

If it was just other guards in the mansion, several people would definitely beat them to the ground mercilessly, so that the county lord could see their strength.

But now that the county lord of Le'an himself is on the field, how can a few people beat him to a bruised nose and swollen face, wouldn't they offend their own master in that case? But if you pretend to be invincible, it will inevitably make the master despise them and feel that they are useless.

At that moment, these maids glanced at each other, and they had a plan in their hearts.

One person stood up, did not reveal Xiao Yu's identity, only pretended not to know, and said respectfully: "Then let me ask the girl for a lesson or two." ”

Although this woman felt that Xiao Yu didn't look like a person with strong martial arts, after all, she was the one who proposed the competition first, and she thought that she had a bit of kung fu, and she didn't dare to take it lightly, so as not to lose carelessly for a while.

However, she obviously overestimated Xiao Yu.

After a few tricks, the new maid put Xiao Yu down, but fortunately, she was quick and pulled Xiao Yu up when she was about to fall to the ground.

What a shame!

Xiao Yu stood firm and touched his nose in embarrassment: This face is embarrassing! Why did she have the whim to compare with the guard, even though the guard was a woman...... What should I do if I don't have a face to see someone......

The three people next to them were also a little stunned, seeing Xiao Yu standing there, there was no joy or anger on his face, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

But seeing Xiao Yu clapping his hands, Yun Danfeng smiled lightly and said, "The skills are really good!" I'll go change clothes first, and you can arrange it for Yuzhu. ”

After saying that, he left directly.

Yuzhu has been by his side for so long and knows Xiao Yu's temperament, and somehow he wants to laugh, so he hurriedly bows his head and responds respectfully.

A few of the new maids are still a little confused. (To be continued......)
