Chapter 107: Ji Qing
The Seventh Prince shrank his head aggrievedly, "Lady...."
Chu Yu sighed, "That's it, you don't understand, you can't go out alone when you leave the mansion in the future, you must bring a personal guard." I see that the martial arts of the people in this house are not high, and they are still not very suitable. Today, I will go out to find a master for you to protect you. ”
"Will he play with me?" , all the Seven Princes are thinking about is playing.
Chu Yu glanced at him, and the latter no longer dared to speak.
The two chatted for a long time, but they didn't hear any movement outside the house, so Chu Yu lifted the quilt and got up.
Who knows, the Seventh Prince actually put on the shoes on the ground for Chu Yu very well, and also put on the clothes on the carved high wooden appendix on the side to Chu Yu with a natural face.
Chu Yu wanted to refuse, but he couldn't resist the stubbornness of the Seventh Prince, Chu Yu stretched out his hands and let the Seventh Prince change his clothes, feeling an inexplicable weirdness in his heart. I remembered that the Seventh Prince seemed to have lost his mother at an early age, and after living alone in the palace for a year, he had become accustomed to changing clothes and eating by himself, and it continued until he was stupid. It seems that the rumors are not false.
It is said that poor children are rarely in charge of the house, but there are no children who are not loved by their mothers and fathers, and this is even more so.
The world is unpredictable!
Not long after the Seventh Prince dressed Chu Yu, Qiu Ge and Qi Luo came in with washing utensils.
Seeing the Seventh Prince in Chu Yu's room, both of them were taken aback.
"The maid on duty at night slept so deeply that she didn't even notice that the Seventh Prince came early in the morning." , Chu Yu said lightly.
Qiuge put the copper plate containing clean well water on the tripod, turned around and said, "The maid on duty this morning is winter snow, it is her dereliction of duty, the princess, do you want to take the opportunity to ..... her?"
Of course, Chu Yu knew what Qiu Ge meant, but it was still a bit early. When she finds some clues, it's not too late to get rid of her. Moreover, when the time comes, we will know who is behind the scenes, and maybe we can use the winter snow in turn....
Yes, Chu Yu has changed her mind, she thinks that it is a good thing to keep Dongxue by her side, at least in this way, it will not startle the snake.
Chu Yu waved his hand, "It's not good to be in a hurry in this matter. ”
Convicting Dongxue on the basis of this insignificant matter alone is too obvious.
In this way, if Dongxue is punished, it will be too easy to startle the snake.
After breakfast, Chu Yu took the Seven Princes and a few maids out of the house.
The streets of the capital are still so lively, with people coming and going.
In order not to be recognized, Chu Yu prepared a certain cloth gauze hat for himself. The light gauze fluttered in the wind, and the blurry and good-looking face shape under the gauze made people reverie.
There is a bazaar in the capital, and it is full of people who recommend themselves as slaves and maids. These people are hard-working people, and in order to survive, they have to choose to become slaves and maids in the houses of the rich and powerful. Thankfully, however, they can choose the number of years they want to serve, which is kind.
Because most of the slaves and maids in the house are constantly changing, the market has been thriving for a long time.
Chu Yu and the Seventh Prince were crowded in the crowd, and finally squeezed into the front row.
Because he was in the front row, Chu Yu saw these people more clearly. The traces of time and the hardships of life are imprinted on the faces of these people one by one. Dark skin and deep wrinkles have become synonymous with these people, but even so, their clothes are clean and tidy, and there seems to be a glimmer of light in their eyes.
This world is always unfair. Zhumen dog meat stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road. Although she didn't feel it deeply, she knew it very well. Some people enjoy prosperity and wealth, and three meals a day are fish, meat, shrimp, crabs, mountains and seafood, while some people have to worry about what to eat tomorrow, and some people have to sell their lives in order to survive....
Chu Yu's eyes passed through the tulle and skimmed over the faces of these people one by one.
It is not difficult to find faithful people in this kind of bazaar, as long as they are in this bazaar, these people live for a day, because they do not know when they will be bought by their employer or if they will spend the last quarter of their life here, and if an employer buys them, they must be loyal to their employer.
However, under this premise, it is difficult to find a person who is both loyal and strong in martial arts.
Because if you have martial arts, how can you fall into this situation?
"Husband, do you have a match?" , Chu Yu asked lightly.
The Seventh Prince glanced at it, and then pointed to a man in a moon-white cloth robe. Chu Yu looked in the direction of the Seventh Prince's finger, and saw that although the man had fallen into such a situation, he was still neatly dressed, his expression was cold, and his face was a holy meaning that could not be violated. Moreover, looking at his figure and hands, he seems to be a practitioner.....
Glancing at the others again, the others were not as skilled as him, and it seemed that the Seven Princes were crooked.
Chu Yu became interested in his heart, and asked with a smile, "Why did the husband choose him?" ”
"Because he's the best-looking!" , The Seventh Prince said with a look of course.
Chu Yu was embarrassed, she shouldn't expect to hear something from his mouth.
"Why did you end up in such a situation?" , Chu Yu ignored the Seventh Prince, stepped forward and asked.
When the man in the white cloth saw that although the woman in front of him was covered with a veil, her figure was straight, and a noble and outstanding aura was fully displayed, so he couldn't help but reply, "The family is in the middle of the road, and there is no way out." ”
"Oh? Where is it at home? Chu Yu raised his eyebrows.
"This lady, do you have a crush on this son? This son is from the Jiangnan area, he was the son of a big businessman in Jiangnan before, but unfortunately, that's right. A middle-aged man with a beard came out of one place and explained, with pity in his tone.
"Although this son doesn't know how to do some rough work, he is a first-class martial arts master, miss, you won't suffer if you buy him." , the boss laughed, in order to sell him, there was inevitably exaggeration in his tone.
The man in the cloth did not speak again, obviously what the boss said was true.
However, most of the people in the Jiangnan area are some businessmen, and his appearance is also false in his statement that he was born in a merchant family. A merchant cannot enter politics, and if a merchant is expelled from the house and then taken advantage of the opportunity to be ostracized by other merchant families, then it is strange that he has fallen to this point.
Chu Yu's eyes flashed slightly, whether it was a small family or a big family, the struggle in the family never stopped.
As long as there are interests, there will inevitably be disputes.
"Do you know martial arts?" , Chu Yu said lightly.
The man in the cloth nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"Madam, although this son doesn't talk much, his martial arts are good." , the boss sneered.
Chu Yu smiled, "That's him." How much. ”
"Madame only needs to give me five taels of silver, and Miss can sign this contract with this son." The boss stretched out a palm and gestured, and then took out two pieces of paper from nowhere, as if he was playing a trick.
Immediately, he pulled out another box from his bosom. The box was opened, and it turned out to be red cinnabar ink.
Chu Yu motioned to Qiu Ge, who was entourage, to give money, then took the paperwork in the boss's hand, glanced at it, and then printed his finger with red cinnabar on the two pieces of paper without hesitation.
Seeing this, the man also lightly pressed a fingerprint on the two pieces of paper.
Chu Yu and the man each held a piece of paper in their hands, and they were bought.
Chu Yu handed the paper to Qiu Ge, and left with a few people.
Along the way, except for the Seven Princes, who were extremely noisy, everyone else was safe and quiet, and they didn't say much.
It's just that the words of the Seven Princes are really stupid, which caused everyone to laugh frequently.
"What's your name?" , Chu Yu looked a little and said lightly.
The man in the moon-white cloth paused and said, "Ji Qing." ”
"Good name." , Chu Yu said with a smile.
Ji Qing stopped talking.
Chu Yu and his entourage were really ready to go home, but they met an uninvited guest when they were still a few miles away from the palace.
"Yo! Who is this princess? It turned out to be Brother Seven! A delicate female voice sounded, and there was no kindness in her tone.
Chu Yu didn't need to look to know who this person was.
Through the veil, Chu Yu could see a pretty figure dressed in goose yellow and several men dressed as guards behind her, without lifting the gauze to look carefully, Chu Yu could guess how disdainful the expression on the face of the ninth princess was at this moment.
The ninth princess is used to being arrogant and domineering, and when she says that she can speak calmly, it is strange.
Only, how could she be here? A trace of doubt flashed in Chu Yu's heart.
Xu heard the voice of the ninth princess, and the seventh prince actually dodged and hid behind Chu Yu
"Nine Princesses." , Chu Yu said lightly, and then stroked the Seventh Prince with his hand.
The Seventh Prince is so afraid of her, it seems that she usually bullies the Seventh Prince.
When the Ninth Princess saw Chu Yu protecting the Seventh Emperor behind her, she sneered and said, "Miss Chu, oh, no, Seventh Emperor Sister-in-law, why are you dressed like this today?" Isn't it ugly and can't see people? ”
She is knowingly asking! Who in the capital doesn't know about Chu Yu's disfigurement? She's taking the opportunity to humiliate Miss! Qiuge couldn't help but take a step forward and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Junyang.
Chu Yu hooked the corners of his mouth lightly and said lightly, "Well, a few days ago, I fell into the hands of a thief and my face was ruined, so I wore a veil, afraid that it would scare others." ”
The Ninth Princess probably didn't expect Chu Yu to respond to her so directly, and immediately stammered, "Since that's the case, then... Then you still run outside the house all day long, aren't you afraid of being embarrassed? ”
A breeze blew, lifting the veil on Chu Yu's head, and the exquisite chin fell into the eyes of the ninth princess. Thinking of what Chu Yu said, the ninth princess was full of curiosity and voyeurism, and she suddenly wanted to know if Chu Yu under the veil was really as ugly as everyone said.
