For a period of time, it was peaceful.

Chen Yuanqing really didn't come to the Weining Marquis Mansion again.

Xu Jinyu occasionally thought of Chen Yuanqing, and there was still a faint sourness and regret in her heart. However, it has come to this point, and even thinking about it only adds to the troubles.

Xu Zheng studied in the house, and every few days, he went to Cao's house to visit Master Cao.

Lord Cao was a great Confucian in the current dynasty, and now he is in a high position and has a great reputation in Wenlin. Every five days on the day of rest, I don't know how many students have voted for a visit and are waiting to see them. Lord Cao favored Xu Zheng, and every time Xu Zheng came to the door to ask for a meeting, he could meet Lord Cao and listen to Lord Cao's guidance in person, which really benefited a lot. Shiwen, in particular, has made significant progress.

Every time he thought of this, Zou was full of gratitude to Xiao Zou: "Thanks to the introduction of the prince, Zheng'er had the opportunity to meet Master Cao. ”

Looking at the Zou family with a grateful face, Xiao Zou's heart was full of a sense of superiority, but he smiled kindly: "The prince was only introduced once." After that, Lord Cao looked at Zheng'er differently, because Zheng'er was studious and enterprising, and he was outstanding in learning, and he had nothing to do with the son. ”

"Anyway, I have to thank the son." Zou's face almost smiled like a flower: "In the future, if the prince has a place to find signs, just open your mouth." ”

In the future, there will be a place for the signs

Xiao Zou's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "The eldest sister will see the outside when she says this." Grace reciprocation, then what have I become? Besides, the prince of the world leads the troops all day long, and the child will take the imperial examination in the future, and he must take the path of a civil official. The Great Yan Dynasty was clearly distinguished. In the future, he will be an official in the same dynasty, and there will probably be no intersection. ”

It's a beautiful thing to say. In fact, a belly of male thieves and female prostitutes conspiracy and calculation!

Xu Jinyu sneered in her heart, and echoed with a smile in her mouth: "Yes." Aunt doesn't want to repay her kindness, mother, don't always talk about the word repayment. ”

Xiao Zou: ""

Why did this come out of Xu Jinyu's mouth, there was always something wrong?

After getting along for so many days, Xiao Zou thought he had figured out Xu Jinyu's temper. There are some smart and clever people, and there are also some scheming, needless to say articulate. Overall. far better than Ji Yu

But how smart can you be? As long as you persuade the Zou family, you can send Xu Zheng to the King of Qin. Xu Jinyu is still obediently at her mercy?

Thinking of this, Xiao Zou's mood couldn't help but feel a little better, and said with a smile: "What Jin Niang said is right. The eldest sister will not mention anything in return in the future. ”

Xu Jinyu and Xiao Zou looked at each other and smiled, each with their own plans.

"Mrs. Qiyu. The tooth woman has arrived. Hanyu came to report with a smile: "I brought more than 20 people this time." Ask the lady to look at the selection. ”

Xiao Zou snorted: "Let them all come in!" ”

There are not many masters in the Weining Hou Mansion, but there are many subordinates. In the eyes of the Zou family, there are more than enough manpower. Xiao Zou still thinks that there is not enough manpower. Specially asked Ya Pozi to pick some clever young men and women

Ya Pozi soon led people in.

Ya Pozi's surname is Jiang, her appearance is ordinary, but she is dressed very neatly. As soon as he came in, he greeted Xiao Zou with a courteous smile: "Folk woman Jiang, please say hello to Mrs." I heard that Madame wants to pick some clever maids, so I specially brought some more people here today. Madame please take a look at them one by one. ”

Xiao Zou faced Mrs. Jiang. Naturally, Mrs. Wei Ninghou put on a posture from above, and said lightly: "Okay." You ask them to come over, and I'll take a closer look. ”

Mrs. Jiang responded neatly, and let the young men and women behind her stand in two neat rows, allowing everyone to look at them.

The oldest of these boys and girls was about twenty years old, and the youngest was only eleven or twelve years old. Most of them are the children of poor families, who were sold into slavery by their parents because of their poor family background. If they can be sold to the Weining Hou Mansion, it will undoubtedly be a good way out for them. Therefore, each one tries to squeeze out the most pleasing smile.

Hanyu looked at this familiar scene, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

A few years ago, she was also one of them.

She has a good appearance and looks smart and lovely, so she was picked by Xiao Zou. entered the house with her, and Hancui.

With her well-behaved and understanding, she soon made a name for herself by Xiao Zou's side. In just a few years, she has become a big girl by Xiao Zou's side. Who in the house doesn't envy her good luck?

No one knew how trembling and uneasy she was in her heart.

She knows all the secrets of Xiao Zou. Once the news leaks out, Xiao Zou will not let her go first.

Hanyu occasionally raised her head and met Xu Jinyu's gaze. Xu Jinyu's eyes are as calm as water, clear and bright, and very beautiful. It is very similar to Xu Zheng's eyes

Thinking of Xu Zheng, Hanyu's heart was filled with subtle sweetness, and soon, that sweetness was diluted by bitterness.

Xu Zhengsheng is handsome, diligent, and polite. The maids in the house secretly admired this young master, and there were by no means a few. She's no exception. From the first time I saw Xu Zheng, I secretly liked Xu Zheng.

It's just that this is destined to be a hopeless relationship. Xiao Zou would never reward her to Xu Zheng

Xiao Zou glanced at it casually, and said with a smile: "Sister Yu, Sister Yu, the two of you each pick two maids." Jin Niang, you can also pick two pleasing ones. ”

Xu Jinyu immediately politely excused herself: "Thank you aunt for your kindness." However, it is enough for me to have early summer and Hancui by my side. No need to pick a maid anymore. ”

There is Hancui, which has already made her like a man, like a fish in her throat. Two more, I'm afraid she won't even be able to eat and sleep.

Xiao Zou smiled disgustingly: "The elder gives, don't dare to resign." Since I have given you what I have rewarded, you can accept it in peace. ”

Zou also smiled and said, "Jin Niang, your aunt has a good intention, you don't have to refuse." ”

Zou's mouth made Xu Jinyu refuse again: "Since my aunt and mother have said so, then I will also pick a maid." I have my own money, and I will give it myself. ”

Xiao Zou said disapprerovingly: "You keep your own silver." It's just a maid, it doesn't cost much silver. My aunt can afford this. ”

Xu Jinyu smiled and said, "That's embarrassing." Without waiting for Xiao Zou to speak, he said: "Since it is a maid added to me, the deed of sale has also been given to me!" ”

Xiao Zou: ""

"You girl, you have a lot of thoughts." Seeing Xiao Zou's delicate expression, Zou hurriedly said something to Xu Jinyu: "Your aunt rewarded you with a maid, what more deed do you want." Could it be that your aunt will still cheat you? ”

The corners of Xiao Zou's mouth twitched slightly.

Xu Jinyu was not ashamed when she was reprimanded, and even smiled and said: "Mother, don't count me down." The maid's deed of sale is in my hand, and I can use it in my heart! My aunt is kind-hearted and will not bother with me. As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Zou with expectant eyes: "Auntie"

Xiao Zou was very stunned, but he had to force a happy face on his face: "It's me who didn't think it through, Jin Niang is right, since you want to add a maid, this deed of sale is of course the best for you." ”

Xu Jinyu will never mention Hancui's deed of sale without interest!

What are you afraid of!

Xu Jinyu actually smiled and opened her mouth again: "Speaking of which, Hancui was also rewarded to me by my aunt."

Xiao Zou's face was almost dark.

Han Cui, who was standing behind Xu Jinyu, also unconsciously became nervous. If Xu Jinyu opened her mouth to ask Xiao Zou for her deed of sale, what will she do in the future? Will you continue to be loyal to Xiao Zou, or will you secretly throw yourself into Xu Jinyu?

Xu Jinyu looked at Xiao Zou's ugly complexion, and her heart was very comfortable. After a deliberate pause, he said slowly: "Hancui is a powerful maid by my aunt's side, I will use it for a while, and I will always return it to my aunt in the future." It's better to keep this deed of sale in the hands of my aunt. ”

With a person like Hancui, she can't afford it.

Xiao Zou unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Hancui is a powerful henchman she secretly cultivated, with a city government and scheming, and a rare loyal face. The deed of sale can never be given to Xu Jinyu.

Hancui listened to Xu Jinyu's words, and didn't know whether to be relieved or lost. However, despite the ups and downs in his heart, the expression on his face has never changed

Ji Yu and Ji Yu each picked two maids.

From the maids picked by the two, it is enough to see that the preferences of the two are different.

The maids selected by Ji Yu are all about sixteen or seventeen years old, with delicate appearances and a good understanding of the rules, and they stand aside honestly after saluting. Most of these maids were sold by the convicted eunuchs.

Ji Yu picked two of the most outstanding-looking, one was thirteen or fourteen years old, and the other was only about sixteen.

Four of the dozen girls were picked, and there were about ten left.

Xu Jinyu looked at them one by one, and her eyes quickly fell on a woman.

The woman was the eldest of them, and looked to be about twenty years old. The figure is taller than that of an ordinary woman, her eyes are not big, her skin is slightly dark, and there are a few pockmarks on her face, and there is nothing eye-catching, which can only be described by mediocrity.

The woman stood there, her head slightly hung down, looking very regular.

Xu Jinyu asked with a smile, "What's your name?" How old is this year? What has been done where and where before? ”

The woman quickly glanced up at Xu Jinyu, and then replied respectfully: "The slave's name is Ruxiang, and she is twenty years old this year." I used to be a cook in the house of Lord Luo of Honglu Temple.。 Lord Luo was convicted of being greedy for ink, and the slave and maid became an official maid. ”

Speak neither humbly nor arrogantly, calm and calm.

Xu Jinyu nodded secretly in her heart, turned her head and smiled at Xiao Zou: "Auntie, I want this Ruxiang." ”

Xiao Zou smiled and nodded, and was about to speak, when he heard Xu Jinyu say again: "By the way, auntie, don't forget to give me Ruxiang's deed of sale." ”

Xiao Zou: "" (To be continued......
