After the manpower was sent out, Anton Hua's heart has been carried all the time. He carefully recalled the arrangement and found nothing wrong, but until the end, he still couldn't put his mind at ease.

Since the accident of the Xin family, Queen Xin died of illness inexplicably, and he was deposed as the crown prince, he has been trembling. To use a phrase in the book, it is 'like walking on thin ice'. When he was in the capital, he had always been under the nose of the emperor, and he didn't dare to make a big move except to rein in the forces of the Xin family's dark department.

When he arrived in Jiaozhou, he had been cautious, for fear that he would make a mistake and affect Shang Jinxiu. Step by step, he finally bought a group of people under the noses of Zheng and other nobles, this is the first trial, and it is also the first time he has made a big move, even if he knows that he should be able to succeed, but Anton Hua has been suffering for a long time, and a heart can never be put down.

Even judging from the results of the investigation, Zheng Kang should resent the Zheng family, but An Donghua still couldn't rest assured of this person, and was worried that he was just a stone sent by the Zheng family to explore the way. He asked Zheng Kang to find out the situation of each cottage, but he sent another person to investigate, and he didn't even disclose which cottage he attacked, because he was worried that he would fall into the Zheng family's calculations, so that all the people and horses he had managed to raise under his hands would be wiped out.

Since the departure of those people, Anton Hua waited for seven days, and finally waited for good news. The cottage had been attacked, and all the bandits in it had been sent to Hades. These people are already extremely vicious, and they don't know how many people they have harmed, so they naturally won't show mercy.

After receiving the news, Antonhua was completely relieved, and after consulting with his advisers, he quickly issued an order. used that cottage as one of their strongholds, and left some people in the cottage to pretend to be mountain bandits on weekdays. Naturally, the things of burning, killing and looting can no longer be done. That is, using this identity as a disguise, it means collecting tolls or something on weekdays. lest the people of the Zheng family doubt it.

When this matter passed, Antonhua felt a little uncomfortable all over his body. He has been worried about this matter today, so naturally he has no heart to accompany Shang Jinxiu. At that time, he remembered that the people he sent out didn't feel anything, and as soon as things were over and he relaxed, he felt that something was wrong with the whole person.

Maybe once a person has developed a habit, it can't be changed, Antonhua and Shang Jinxiu are supposed to have been married for less than a year, Shang Jinxiu is not old enough, they don't have a round house at all, that is, they are just a nominal husband and wife. There wasn't much emotion at all. But Anton Hua was used to being by Shang Jinxiu's side, and he didn't have to do anything, just watched quietly, as if his heart was filled with something, which made him feel extremely satisfied.

Although Anton Hua still can't understand what Empress Xin once said, he knows that he has put Shang Jinxiu's wife in his heart and can't let it go anymore.

So after he said goodbye to the strategist, he took the initiative to find Shang Jinxiu.

It's been autumn for a long time. It won't take long for winter to fall, and the palace is renovated casually, and the people of the Zheng family have never taken Andonghua, the king of Jiaozhou, in their eyes, so they are naturally unwilling to spend too much effort and money on repairing the palace. At first glance, there are a lot of flowers and plants in the palace. But they are all very ordinary, not even the same precious, and the matching of flowers and plants has not been put much thought. I just found someone to do it casually.

Now that Anton Hua has come all the way, all that comes into his eyes is a withering scene. Occasionally, you can see a little greenery, scattered in the palace. Let people see. The mood involuntarily fell.

When Anton Hua found Shang Jinxiu, Shang Jinxiu was painting with a paintbrush. Although she has studied the family of merchants, what she has learned is that for today's readers, she is not able to learn and have no skills. She can't be a female celebrity, can't play the piano, can't play chess, can't recite poetry, has practiced calligraphy, and writes extremely beautifully, but it doesn't necessarily matter how good it is.

Shang Jinxiu learned to paint in her previous life, she can paint sketches, gouache, oil paintings, and she can also paint ink paintings, but she only knows, what artistic conception and what style, she doesn't have that talent.

For her, painting is also a hobby, just like cooking, she can, and it looks like a good one, but she is impatient to show off, these things are what she uses to pass the time, and by the way, to cultivate and cultivate her sentiments.

Today she happened to be free, she had nothing to do, and looking at the dilapidated scene of the courtyard, she came to the nature of painting. She drew a beauty dressed up, and the beauty was dressed up by a little girl under her hand. This girl's name is Lamei, she is actually not very old, the key is that she is well developed and tall. However, at the age of sixteen, he has developed a convex and backward curve, and he is 170 tall, which is very rare.

She was bought by Shang Jinxiu, and she was originally a poor farmer, but when she first came to Shang Jinxiu's hands, she was not like this now, she was tall and tall, but she was so thin that she was out of shape, like skin and bones.

At the beginning, Shang Jinxiu asked her to work in the ready-to-wear shop, and the food provided was not good, that is, white rice or white flour steamed buns, plus one meat, one vegetable and one soup. This kind of food is already unimaginable and delicious for the people at the bottom, but for those powerful maids and servants in large families, they are too lazy to touch it.

Shang Jinxiu didn't want to deduct the food of the people under her, but she also knew that she couldn't do too much, she couldn't hold these people up to the sky, so she set the bonus and benefits higher, as long as the performance was good, she would get more rewards, and she could add vegetables every day.

Lamei used to have a very hard life, but after she arrived in Shang Jinxiu's hands, it was like entering heaven, she was afraid of losing such a good life, so she worked very hard, and she didn't dare to eat more at first. However, the steward saw that she was too thin, and prepared some inexpensive but nourishing medicinal food for her, so that Lamei's body was gradually raised.

After this raising, the steward found out that Lamei's foundation was actually very good, so he proposed to Shang Jinxiu to simply let Lamei enter the palace as a maid. The steward is purely kind, and thinks that if Lamei enters the palace and comes to Shang Jinxiu's side, her value will be completely different, as long as she doesn't make mistakes, she will definitely have a good future in the future.

There are a lot of maids in the palace, but Shang Jinxiu only has to use Mulan and Hibiscus around her, and she doesn't worry about the others at all, but Mulan and Hibiscus are getting older, and they can't stay by her side all the time, so they have to find a good in-law for them to marry.

Mu Hibiscus already has a right eye, and he is a steward under Shang Jinxiu, named Shang Yan. Li Guangcai always knew that Shang Jinxiu had a lot of shops in his hands and needed manpower, so he bought a batch of people from Ren Yazi early in the morning, slowly trained them, and selected a good character from them to give to Shang Jinxiu.

Shang Yan and Mu Hibiscus are also childhood sweethearts, they both came out of the Li family, and they saw the right eye very early, but Mu Hibiscus had to take care of Shang Jinxiu, and the two of them never succeeded. The steward of the garment shop was trained by Shang Yan himself, and he knew that Shang Yan had been waiting for Hibiscus, so he had been paying attention to the right person to take care of Shang Jinxiu instead of Hibiscus, and after finding that Lamei was good, he took the initiative to mention it to Shang Jinxiu.

He didn't dare to mention Shang Yan, but Shang Jinxiu had always remembered this matter in her heart, so as soon as the steward said it, she decided to try it first. Not only Lamei, but also three other little maids.

Shang Jinxiu doesn't like to talk about pomp, and her secret is destined to not be able to follow people all the time, so the maids around Shang Jinxiu have always been only Mulan and Hibiscus, Mulan and Hibiscus are responsible for serving her, and some other cleaning errands have other maids to do.

These maids can't stay with Shang Jinxiu at all after finishing their work, they can only wait in the ear room next door, and they can only come over when they need to. Only magnolia and hibiscus are different.

The plum base is good, even more beautiful than magnolia and hibiscus. However, she is honest and loyal to Shang Jinxiu, and has no other thoughts. Shang Jinxiu looked at her for a month and decided to keep her by his side.

Today, Shang Jinxiu was interested, so she deliberately let Lamei dress up, she is good at painting. Lamei was born beautiful, and she was even more glamorous when she dressed up. Shang Jinxiu had already made people figure out a full-length dressing mirror and put it in the house, and after Lamei looked in the mirror, she couldn't believe that the person inside was herself!

Shang Jinxiu asked her to lie on her side on the lady's couch, and adjusted it several times before Lamei put on a lazy expression, and the whole person leaned on the chaise longue and didn't dare to move, she was about to stiffen.

When Anton Hua came, he was directly startled by this scene, he didn't even recognize it as Lamei at first glance, and thought it was a sturdy noble girl of Shang Jinxiu.

Shang Jinxiu was amused by his appearance, and greeted him behind him with a paintbrush: "Alas, where are you going?" Why did you just come here and leave? ”

As soon as she spoke, Andonghua stood still, standing stiffly in place like wood, and without turning around, she turned her back to Shang Jinxiu and said, "Xiu'er, you come out with me, I have something to tell you." ”

An Donghua felt that Shang Jinxiu was doing something wrong, he thought at this time that it was a noble girl lying on his side, this person was seen by him in Shang Jinxiu's study, how could it be good if this was going to be passed out? He didn't worry about his reputation, he was afraid of being entangled.

It's just that these words can't be said in front of outsiders, and he won't lose Shang Jinxiu's face in front of outsiders.

Shang Jinxiu walked over with a smile, took the initiative to take An Donghua's hand and led the person into the house: "What are you taboo?" She's Lamei, don't you know her? ”

An Donghua remembered Lamei, not because of Lamei's appearance, but because this person was going to serve by Shang Jinxiu's side, and he was a little wary in his heart. On the day Lamei came, he sent someone to investigate Lamei's details and made sure that there was no problem before he moved her.

When he heard that it was Lamei, he subconsciously looked at Lamei. (To be continued......)
