Chapter 11: Siyin
Si Qing was shocked, how could this regent's personal jade pendant be on the young lady, and the regent personally came to help the young lady solve the siege last time.
Could it be these two people......
Si Qing hesitated for a while, changed Jiang Moxi's clothes, took the bed quilt and covered her, put the jade pendant on the couch, extinguished the candle and closed the door gently, when he didn't see anything.
Early the next morning, Jiang Moxi opened his eyes and turned around to see the jade pendant placed next to his pillow, and the memory of last night suddenly flooded into his mind.
The man gave her the jade pendant again, and her actions, Jiang Moxi was ashamed and angry, she must have been sleepy and stupid at that time.
It stands to reason that this Mo Guli is an ancient person who is serious, and he will not know what it means to give a jade pendant.
Whether it is given by a man to a woman or by a woman to a man, it has the meaning of a token of love, does Mo Guli really not understand?
Jiang Moxi didn't want to dwell on it anymore, it was useless for her to take it, so she would return it to him in a while.
"Si Qing, we will go to the Regent's Mansion first, send the jade pendant back, and then go to the slave market to pick two capable subordinates, it is inevitable that you will be a little lacking in skills when you come."
Jiang Moxi put down his chopsticks, the dishes in the small kitchen today are really good.
After finishing the meal, Jiang Moxi returned to the bedroom, took out the jade pendant and put it in his arms, and went out with Si Qing.
As soon as I walked to the door of the house, I saw that the water at the door was surrounded by water, and when I got closer, I saw a woman kneeling on the ground, crying with tears.
"Everyone comes to comment, I'll come to see my niece, the guards just won't let me in, what else is the law of the king."
Jiang Moxi looked at it, wasn't it Mrs. Jiang who was driven away yesterday, and he mocked in his heart and wanted to go over directly.
But how could Mrs. Jiang let her go so easily when she saw someone coming out, and with a glance, she wiped the silk handkerchief she took out from her waist and wiped it on her face, and began to cry and grab the ground.
"After the eldest brother went to the battlefield, although the second aunt didn't come to see you much, but the heart that cared for you was no less than that of outsiders, you kid listened to the words of outsiders for a while, and united to drive your second uncle and grandfather away, which we can't bear to blame, but now the gate of the general's mansion can't even enter!"
The woman wiped her tears, sat on the ground and refused to get up, and Jiang Moxi, who listened to the words that reversed black and white, frowned.
Hearing what Mrs. Jiang said, she was accusing her of being ungrateful, Jiang Moxi glanced at the crowd gathered around to watch the excitement, and the wind direction had all fallen on Mrs. Jiang's side.
It's really impossible for her to do it.
"Si Qing, go and report to the official."
Jiang Moxi commanded in a low voice, everyone else's attention was on Mrs. Jiang, basically no one saw Si Qing's figure leaving quietly, and even if he saw it, he wouldn't shout at this time, after all, the more people there are, the more lively it is.
Mrs. Jiang is determined to enter the General's Mansion today, or she wants to make a big fuss.
Jiang Moxi was only here to kill time with her, waiting for Si Qing to bring the officers and soldiers over.
When people hurried to the scene, there was Mrs. Jiang who was crying on the ground, who was watching the play next to her, and Jiang Moxi, who looked cold and didn't speak at the door.
When the officers and soldiers came, they didn't need to think carefully to know who was reporting today, and walked over with their sabers to ask.
"Is it the official you reported?" Xu is Jiang Moxi's temperament is too dazzling, and the officers and soldiers are involuntarily humble when they speak, and the people in the General's Mansion are not something that he can afford to offend as a small county officer.
"Well, yes."
"She made a lot of noise at the gate of my house, stopped her from going out, and troubled her." Jiang Moxi added.
"Can you be like this young lady?" The officers and soldiers turned around and looked down at Mrs. Jiang, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked.
"I didn't! This is my own niece's house, how can I be considered a nuisance! Seeing that the situation was wrong, Mrs. Jiang fluttered up from the ground and hurriedly retorted.
"So you're admitting it?"
The officers and soldiers squinted, and their already fierce and vicious appearance became a little more fierce, and Mrs. Jiang, who saw it, was stuck in her throat and had not yet spit it out, so she swallowed it.
"I'm going out now, she's seriously affecting me here."
Jiang Moxi said impatiently.
"Come on, if you have anything to say, come with me to the yamen and talk slowly."
He is also accustomed to seeing these relationships in the Yamen, interests are paramount, and family affection is really too fragile in front of him, especially like today.
The officers and soldiers stretched out their hands and dragged Mrs. Jiang up from the ground without pity, and regardless of the woman's resistance, they took her back to the yamen directly.
Enough of the drama has been watched, and the people have dispersed.
"In this way, I will go to the slave market by myself, you and Li Xixi will go and pick a few guards for me who can guard the general's mansion, and I will come back and see."
Jiang Moxi looked at the two door gods at the door with a pestle, this is the second time, even Mrs. Jiang can't help a woman, what is the use of asking them.
Si Qing was ordered to return home, and Jiang Moxi walked to the slave market alone.
She passed by here when she was going to the palace a while ago, and at that time she took care to remember the location, which was only a short walk away.
It is not illegal to buy and sell people here, and the sides of the street are not different from the usual streets, except that people are sold inside.
The streets are full of people, and most of the people who are chained to the ground are young men and women, and there are even young people who walk in a few places. Children, children are only seven or eight years old, standing there dirty and not speaking, and there is no light in the eyes that ordinary children should have.
But Jiang Moxi didn't come to do charity this time, he wanted to pick someone who could do things, and the child still forgot it, Jiang Moxi retracted his gaze, stopped and looked, and quickly cast his eyes on an inconspicuous little corner.
It wasn't as lively as it was elsewhere, there was only one boss, and in front of him was a woman with messy hair who couldn't see her face clearly, this woman was tighter than she had seen before, and basically couldn't move at will.
When the man saw Jiang Moxi coming, a greasy smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Girl, do you want to see me, a slave?"
Jiang Moxi nodded yes, stepped forward, bent down and reached out to brush the woman's hair, accompanied by the boss's exclamation to stop him.
She thought, she might know why this boss didn't sell people in crowded places, and there was a light in this girl's eyes, a wild light, like an untamed wolf, staring at you viciously, waiting for the right time to bite your throat in one bite.
Jiang Moxi picked this woman almost at a glance, "This person, I want it." ”
She happily handed over the silver, asked for the key, and untied the chains on the woman's hand under the worried eyes of the boss, and the woman shrank for a moment, and then calmed down again.
"What's your name?" Jiang Moxi asked softly, she was afraid of scaring this woman.
At first, the woman didn't answer, and spit out a sentence without a name at Jiang Moxi's insistence.
It still looks like a stuffy gourd, Jiang Moxi's heart was amused for a while, but it was not revealed, "Then you will call Si Yin in the future, Si Yin, your name." ”
Si Yin didn't answer, Jiang Moxi only thought she agreed, and led the people back to the general's mansion with satisfaction, but fortunately, the people were quite obedient and didn't make any trouble.
Si Qing was shocked when she saw her bring people back, how could her own young lady pick up people in the mansion, the regent last time, and this woman who seemed to have just picked up from the garbage heap.
"This is Si Qing, if you don't understand anything in the future, just ask her and adapt to the environment as soon as possible."
Jiang Moxi turned his head to Si Yin to introduce, Si Yin nodded almost uncheckably, and after getting the reply, Jiang Moxi pushed him into the house to clean up the dirt on his body.
The dress couldn't wear Jiang Moxi's, so she found a set from Si Qing and handed it in, Jiang Moxi waited in the courtyard for a while, and the door creaked open.
The woman who came out of the inside had picturesque eyebrows, her eyes were like a pool of clear water, and she had a light aura on her body, but the bruised skin that emerged from the slightly short sleeves let Jiang Moxi know that she was not having a good time before she was a student.
Si Yin walked to Jiang Moxi's side, stood firmly, and did not speak, Jiang Moxi also saw that Si Yin was not convinced, but so what, after a long time, she had the confidence that she could make her surrender willingly.
"You'll pick up a few guards with me later." Jiang Moxi looked at Si Yin.
It just so happened that at this time, Si Qing came to report and said that Li Haoxi and her had selected ten guards to come out, all of them were good, and let her go over and see which ones were left.
Jiang Moxi walked in front, Si Yin followed silently behind, Jiang Moxi was used to her temperament at the end of the day, so she simply let her go.
"Miss, everyone is waiting inside." Si Qing opened the bead curtain, and there were several young men standing straight inside, Jiang Moxi felt that they were much stronger than the ones in the original General's Mansion when he looked at it.
On the stool, he didn't look at anyone, glanced at Si Yin, and said, "You go and pick, and this matter will be left to you." ”
She believed in Si Yin's vision, and from the first time she saw Si Yin, she knew that Si Yin must not be a person who was willing to be mediocre.
Si Yin stood behind Jiang Moxi, looked at her meaninglessly and deeply where she couldn't see, and raised his feet to look at the men standing in rows.
At the same time, Jiang Moxi didn't do nothing, she was also silently observing Si Yin, and she also felt good when she saw that the people Si Yin brought out were all people, and the appreciation in her eyes increased a little.
"Then these few, the others will give some silver, and these few will follow me home."
It's not that she wants to replace the original guards, it's just that they really don't use much.
On the other side, Mrs. Jiang, who was taken to the yamen, kept crying in prison that she had been wronged, but her sharp voice was drowned in the noise and no one paid attention to it.
Mrs. Jiang slipped weakly down the wall and sat on top of the withered grass ball, she had only been in for half a day, and she was already embarrassed, telling that the earth should not be called ineffective every day, and when she was sitting on the ground and felt hopeless, the officers and soldiers who sent her in came over and unlocked it.
