Dengzhou, Shandong, the prefect's mansion

No matter what the purpose of the Jimo Lan family was, Shen Rui was also going to promote culture and education in Dengzhou, and Lan Ken came to open a academy, and Shen Rui was welcome.

What's even better is that Lan Qiren is quite similar to Lantian, and he is also a character who is proficient in astronomical calendars, ox classics and horse books, and even Qimen Dunjia, and he is not pedantic, and he also recognizes the Luban School in Dengzhou during his conversation.

Shen Rui has built a "technical school", so he naturally hopes to promote science and technology more.

To say small, it is the need to get rich at the moment, and to say that it is to start the technological revolution of the Ming Dynasty.

At present, the people in the Dengzhou Luban School can only be regarded as skilled workers, even if they are successful, they are only skilled, and they are still far from the "engineers" that Shen Rui wants.

If you want to get engineers, on the one hand, you should select skilled workers with good knowledge, learning consciousness and innovation consciousness and further training.

On the other hand, it is to find those who love technology and are willing to study the so-called miscellaneous sciences from those who are already knowledgeable scholars, scholars, and even scholars, so as to provide them with a scientific research atmosphere and space for further directional guidance.

And whether it is cultivation or guidance, this blue is a good leader.

There is no shortage of scientists in all dynasties, not to mention Zhang Heng, Zu Chongzhi, Shen Kuo, Song Yingxing and others, just say that Shen Rui's side, that Li, Li Yanqing father and son, have made great achievements in water conservancy engineering and equipment manufacturing.

There are more such technical application talents, and there is a stage for them to show their strengths, so why worry about the future!

This time, several canals and waterwheels were built in Dengzhou, all thanks to Li's guidance, and a director and several ambassadors and deputy envoys sent by the Ministry of Industry were also amazing technical talents, who helped Shen Rui and the people of Dengzhou.

And Li Yanqing also showed his skills in the Ordnance Division, improving a lot of weapons, especially the traditional firearms used in water warfare, such as the bowl mouth gun and the "helpless".

Shen Rui was not clear about the manufacture of firearms, and he could not provide more effective help.

can only write down what he can think of, and he can't remember any ancient books about Qimen Dunjia refining alchemy, so let Li Yanqing study it on his own.

Then let someone send a secret letter to Dai Dabin, who was far away in Fujian, and asked him to pay more attention to Westerners and get some Western firearms.

After Zhang Hui tried the weapons made by Li Yanqing on a small scale, he quietly transported them to Dengzhou, and now he has equipped the soldiers and horses of two thousand households under Pan Jiayu, and is undergoing further practical exercises and tests.

Shen Rui also told Pan Jiayu to find someone to record the results of each exercise in detail and give feedback to Li Yanqing in time, so that he could make further adjustments according to the actual effect.

Because Dezhou Wei was planted in the Hu Jie bribery case, Pan Jiayu had obediently asked for all his old subordinates back.

Now that the commander Zhao Sheng has shown favor to Shen Rui again, he has allocated money to Pan Jiayu and even to Pan Jiayu, his life is getting smoother and smoother, and his practice is becoming more and more attentive.

Especially with the help of the elite of the Nanjing Naval Division, and with veterans like Qi Xuan in charge, the Pan family's military training is not ambiguous, and now the Dengzhou Naval Division is already very good.

Shen Rui bluntly told Lan all the ideas for talent training, although Lan was old-fashioned on his face, and said some nonsense such as "Lord Shen is young and promising", his eyes were extremely bright.

Shen Rui could see that Lan was tempted, and he couldn't help but be very satisfied, so he also opened the door of convenience, and threw out a lot of preferential treatment to Lan's academy where there was no shadow.

In addition to helping to build houses, the government can also provide certain funds for scientific research and student scholarships.

After Lan thanked him, he said that he would choose a site to build a school on the mountainous land in the south of the city and not in the city, because the city was becoming more and more prosperous, and he was afraid that the students would not want to study.

Shen Rui also agreed with a smile.

Although Lan's words inevitably brought the prefectural school and county school in the city, most of the famous academies are built on the mountain, and there should be a beautiful and quiet environment for studying.

He also happened to take advantage of the situation to plan a university town in Nanshan.

After negotiating the academy, Lan took his leave and was sent by the master to live in the Shen Mansion.

Master Chen said to Shen Rui: "Look at Mr. Lan is a scholar of all things, what does the owner think." ”

Shen Rui said with a smile: "I have seen Lord Lanzhang and Brother Lantian before, but this Mr. Lan is much more lively than that father and son. I'm looking forward to his academy. ”

"Lord Lan, father and son, are too upright. Although it is upright, it is also too rigid and easy to break......" Master Chen sighed.

Then he smiled and said: "Mr. Lan is quite famous in Shandong, he opened a academy, and many students came to study, and I am also famous in Dengzhou." ”

Looking at the map of Penglai County drawn by Shen Rui on the wall of the study, Master Chen smiled and said: "The north side is close to the harbor, and there are post roads on the east and west sides. ”

Shen Rui laughed and said: "Zhixue is like what Mr. said, and the last two sentences are more like what Mr. Jiang and Mr. Xiao said." ”

The families who are willing to study thousands of miles away will not be poor families, the families of the students who eat and drink, and the families of the gentlemen and teachers who teach...... The revitalization of a regional economy in a university town has long been on Shen Rui's development plan.

Master Chen said with a smile: "The owner doesn't feel old and pedantic, and now he is following the owner to open up this Dengzhou, and he has to learn some 'economic' things." ”

Joke a few words, and since that economic matter, it has been said that Dengzhou's biggest economic source is now fighting, sea trade.

Shen Rui said the result of the discussion with the guard, and said: "I'll go to Wendeng to have a look, that side is also a good port, and there are a lot of connections with the sea in the south." If you want to open the sea, you can't lock it up over there, and you can't prevent it, not to mention that you can't prevent it. ”

Master Chen pondered for a moment and said, "The owner is very worried. It's just that if you go here, you will have to deal with the affairs of the king's family. ”

The Wang family is the mother of the concubine in the palace, although the concubine is desolate under her knees, and now she is silent in the harem, but because she has raised the eldest princess of Deqing, now the eldest princess is very concerned about her, and even with it, she also takes care of the Wang family.

At the beginning of Shen Rui's arrival in Dengzhou, the Deqing Eldest Princess's Mansion greeted him.

At the beginning, Shen Rui didn't take such a Wang family to heart.

When the counties cleared the acres of fields, the Wang family still brought out the faction of their relatives, and the government was not allowed to measure the land.

His family's land is in Wendeng County and Ninghai Prefecture.

These two parents have no background, and they refuse to offend such a family, so they prevaricate and procrastinate.

In fact, speaking of which, the Wang family is just a majestic man in Wendeng County, a remote mountainous area, not to mention that it is left in Beijing, that is, it is left in the whole of Shandong, and the Wang family is not in the stream.

Shen Rui was dealing with the island and the exile at the time, so he ignored it, and did his best to send a letter to the mansion of the eldest princess of Deqing, then threw away his hand and waited to clean it up.

The eldest princess of Deqing is far less powerful than the eldest princess of Chun'an, and the Deqing couple are full of poetry and books, and they are very reasonable, and they politely said in the reply that they will persuade Concubine Jing's mother's family.

He also sent a steward to Wendeng to talk to the Wang family.

It's a pity that the Wang family belongs to hob meat, and this matter has been delayed for a while, and it has not been resolved until the autumn.

And there are a lot of stories on the side of the clan in the past two months.

First of all, the little emperor took advantage of several cases such as the Qingwang Mansion and the Jingjiang Palace, which hurt the heavens and reason, and beat the feudal clans hard.

Later, when Zhang "forcibly occupied the people's land" in the Chade Palace, he showed no mercy.

quickly and ruthlessly found out the so-called people who donated the fields, and checked the acres of land that were forcibly occupied, and the evidence of the crime was also clean and beautiful, without the slightest ambiguity.

From the prefect of the county, the prefecture, the same governor, the prefect, the political envoy to the king of Germany, impeachment.

For the palace, he refused to cover up half of it.

What is it said over there that the prince is old and deceived by the villain.

Zhang sneered and said that he didn't know before, but now he knows, please return the acres of land, and the prince is merciful, and he should give some compensation to the people to appease them.

It was clear that he wanted the palace to spit out the meat that reached his mouth.

The Dewang Mansion played a scoundrel to be invincible in the world, so he followed the left fold and the right fold into the Ouchi, and opened his mouth to shout that he was poor, and even refused to pay the tax and silver payable per mu this year.

The eldest princess of Chun'an over there was angry and hateful, and sent several waves of henchmen to scold, but to no avail.

The little emperor was even more angry, so that he was so busy with the old ministers that he was afraid that he would impulsively and ruthlessly take away King De's land, causing turmoil among the feudal domains.

At such a time, Yang Tinghe in Jingzhong also sent a letter to Shen Rui, asking him to work steadily and steadily, and never rush in.

After all, the matter of King De was stabbed by Shen Rui, and the first one was not handled well, and he provoked the basket, the emperor would not be "wrong", and the blame would be below, and it was not impossible for Shen Rui to be pushed out to take the blame at that time.

It is the matter of the Wang family, and the meaning of the masters is not to worry about it for now, and then deal with it after the dust settles on King De's matter.

But the premise of ignoring it is that Shen Ruide stayed in Fucheng, it can be said that Ninghai Prefecture and Wendeng County deliberately concealed it, and the prefect did not know about it, so he did not deal with it.

If Shen Rui went to Wendeng County and faced this matter head-on, it would be difficult to ignore it.

Shen Rui said: "Shunzi still got some news over there, the Wang family, and the sea, I'm afraid there is some collusion." ”

Wendeng is also a place where smuggling is rampant, and although many large families do not buy ships to go to sea, they collect things from the sea and sell the stolen goods on the ground.

"Even now is not the time to deal with it, and we must always see it."

Shen Rui said, "I originally thought that as soon as I took office, I would first go to the first few prefectures and counties, and have a simple understanding of the local situation, so that the governance in the future would be more targeted." ”

"It's just that I was entangled in everything, and I only came to Zhaoyuan and Huangxian at first, and then went to Qixia to take a look, and I haven't walked anywhere else.

"If you go all the way east this time, look at Fushan, Ninghaizhou, Wendeng, turn around and go west to Laiyang, it can be regarded as a complete walk. Just be able to go back to Penglai before the big cold. ”

Master Chen muttered: "This season is just right, this year's summer tax and autumn tax are also exempted, and the autumn harvest can be more calm." ”

He also said, "Lord Shen moved to the left to participate in politics, and I think that those who are thinking about things in the town can also settle down." ”

Shen Rui nodded. It is good that Shen Li can stay in Shandong, and now Shandong can be regarded as pure. It would be better if there were no vassal kings.

Because he said: "The emperor values Shandong so much, and I can only do my best to repay the emperor's kindness." ”

Master Chen thought that the emperor had transferred Shen Jin to the Shandong Qing Officials Division of the Ministry of Households, and he would definitely open the door to Dengzhou in the future, so he nodded yes and no longer raised objections to Shen Rui's trip.

"I didn't expect Xiao Shen Zhuangyuan to go to the household department." Master Chen sighed, shook his head and smiled: "I didn't think that the eldest prince could go to the Siyi Pavilion." ”

He was originally Yang Ting and his staff, and he was used to calling Yang Shen the eldest son.

Shen Rui also sighed: "I didn't expect my uncle to go to the Siyi Pavilion. However, my uncle is also very good at learning. ”

Not only the two of them, but no one in the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu thought that Yang Shen would go to the Siyi Pavilion.

Although the Siyi Pavilion is presided over by Li Dongyang, and Yang Shen is a disciple of Li Dongyang, and can be called "a disciple who obeys his work", Yang Shen is the eldest son of Yang Tinghe, and he is the champion of the real test.

The current Siyi Pavilion is not set up to do business with the West, and Shen Rui naturally will not narcissistically think that the little emperor brought Yang Shen in for his own good, in order to open the sea.

Li Dongyang asked Shaanxi Yunnan Town Inspector and other officials to visit people who knew the Tatar, Xifan, Gaochang, Xitian, and Baiyi languages and characters, and he was interested in Mongolia.

In recent years, the Shanxi border pass has not been peaceful.

Shen Rui secretly wondered if there was also a reason to cultivate the faction.

Yang Shen is very good at learning, and Shen Rui also believes that he will be a good language master, but if the Siyi Pavilion is not just a "foreign Chinese academy", then Yang Shen's personality is too different from that of an agent.

In contrast, Shen Rui felt that Pang Tianqing was shrewd and neat, and was more suitable than Yang Shen to be a trainer for special agents.

Although he teaches meticulously, he is only a teacher in Beijing, and he is not going to the front line, so he is safe. This position is very important, and I think I won't stop it when I come to the Eldest Princess Mansion of Chun'an.

And the Cai family has a lot of military power, and the eldest princess has the trust of the emperor, which is also of great help to Pang Tianqing to take over those secret agent agencies.

Shen Rui had an idea, so he planned to go back and repair a letter to his father-in-law, Yang Tinghe, to see if this was feasible.

After returning to the inner house, Shen Rui made it clear to the Xu family that he wanted to go to Wendeng, and he was afraid that it would take two or three months to come back.

Xu replied with a smile: "You just have to go, don't worry about home." ”

He pointed at Yang Tian and said: "Lord Cong Lan was originally your peak, and it is not good to go to Wendeng and not to visit the Cong family." The boss and the old lady of the Cong family are here, you take Tian'er with you, let her go to greet the old lady, greet the old lady on my behalf, and do your best. ”

Yang Tian hurriedly said: "I want to serve my mother at home. ”

Xu said with a smile: "There are many people in the family, where do you want to keep you." Go ahead, you're busy these days, and you should be loose and loose. ”

Shen Rui speculated, although the Xu family had not urged their heirs, it was impossible not to care, thinking that this was because they didn't want their young couple to get together and separate. He had the heart to take Yang Tian around, so he also smiled for Yang Tian.

Xu said that he wanted to send a letter back to the capital, and asked Shen Rui to arrange for someone before leaving.

"You take care of the sixth sister-in-law, worry about Brother Xiaolin's marriage, and want to ask all relatives in Beijing to help find a suitable family." Xu Shi Dao.

However, because of Liu Jin's hindrance, no one dared to inquire about Shen Lin's marriage with the Xie family.

And this time, when Liu Jin suppressed Liu Xie's old people, Shen Li could still stand, which made many people moved. Now there is also a matchmaker coming to the door.

Xie didn't plan to look for a daughter-in-law here in Shandong, and the behavior of these official wives was even more chilling.

Therefore, she hurriedly sent a letter to Dengzhou, thinking that the Yang Mo Xu family and even Yang Tian's stepmother Mrs. Yang would find a competent in-law for her son in Beijing, and it was best to take advantage of the court's optimism about Shen Li's stall and quickly settle down her daughter-in-law.

Shen Rui couldn't help frowning, looked at no one in the room, and said in a low voice: "Mother, behind closed doors, I said something inappropriate, Li Liu's sister-in-law and others are just to find her a princess, and she has to dislike the princess and can't inherit the throne!" Don't worry about her son's business, don't make trouble about her sister's marriage. ”

Xu was startled when he heard the princess's throne and other words, and patted him and said, "Say it again!" ”

At the end of listening, he sighed again: "Xie Ge Lao was the champion first, and then the elder Ge, she has been beautiful since she was a child, and she married the champion Lang, which inevitably brings some arrogance." Now, a lot has changed. I don't rush at her, but also at Brother Li'er, Brother Xiaolin. ”

Shen Rui also sighed, he naturally looked forward to Brother Xiaolin having a capable wife, so it was difficult to say anything.

After saying it here, Shen Rui took Yang Tian out and went back to his yard.

rubbing her little hand, she sighed in a low voice: "The matter of the sixth sister-in-law also makes you embarrassed." ”

Although Yu and Yang Tian are now as close as a mother and daughter, they are not mother and daughter in the end.

Yang Tian's heart warmed, and he laughed in a low voice: "Don't be embarrassed." My mother wrote the letter herself. And ......"

She paused, and her voice was a little lower: "You also know the temperament of the sixth sister-in-law, rather than letting her find her own relatives, it is better for us to help find it." ”

Shen Rui was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It's this truth, I want to be left." Or Mrs. Bright. ”

Yang Tian glanced at him and said, "Make fun of me again." He also joked with him: "The prefect has a lot of opportunities, where can he care about some trivial matters in the back house." ”

While speaking, he entered the main room of the east courtyard, and Shen Rui saw a few red eggs on a few white glass plates on the side, which looked good in red and white, so he couldn't help but take a look.

Yang Tian saw it and said: "The workshop steward who is good at weaving baskets got a big fat boy of seven catties, and sent a basket of happy eggs to the government office. ”

The sister-in-law of the Qi family in her mouth is Qi Jingtong's wife Zhang.

Qi Jingtong and Shen Rui are the same, they are both heirs, and they are both childless under their knees.

The heir is for the sake of incense, so as the wife of the heir, the pressure on Zhang and Yang Tian is much greater than that of ordinary childless women.

Because the two are in the same situation, they inevitably have some sympathy for each other, and they are both tranquil, so they are quite close.

Shen Rui couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw Yang Tian looking at the happy egg.

Then he took her and explained: "Didn't I tell you before?" I don't want to do so much, I leave it to God to arrange, God gives us a child, and we rejoice; If there is no chance in the end, there will be a fourth brother in the future, and there will be Brother Xiao Nan, and our offering will always be indispensable. ”

Yang Tian replied in a low voice, but did not speak.

Shen Rui also knew that the heir was always Yang Tian's heart knot, and no matter how enlightened, it was impossible to really let her go.

didn't expect her to change overnight, so he interrupted with a smile: "You have to be busy these two days, take care of the luggage of the two of us, it's hot now, maybe it's autumn on the road, and you can bring some thick clothes." ”

Yang Tian also laughed and said, "My prefect, will you be frozen!" ”

But he couldn't help but hesitate: "I should stay and serve my mother." ”

Shen Rui said: "It's only been two or three months, my mother has spoken, so you can go with me." And the Cong family, we really want to pay a good visit. And I also want to meet the commanders and commanders of the coastal guards, and it is more appropriate for you ladies to move around. ”

Yang Tian nodded in response, and said with a smile: "You originally said that you would take me here and there, but in the past few months, you have only taken a sea boat to the island." ”

Shen Rui said again and again: "Mrs. forgiveness, Mrs. forgiveness, Xiaosheng will compensate Mrs....... for this trip."

Dengzhou Prefecture, Wendeng County, Shandong

There are many hot springs in Wendeng County, and there is a town in the northeast of the county town in the Song Dynasty, which has the name of Wenshui Town, and has been changed to a hot spring town since the Yuan Dynasty.

Because of the many springs, the rich and noble families come to build Zhuangzi, and there is a patrol inspection department, and it is not far from Weihaiwei and Chengshanwei, so it has become a very prosperous place.

Since such a prosperous place is indispensable, the Qinglou Chu Pavilion is indispensable.

The owner of the Qinglou here is particularly smart, and he also imitates the style of the rich manor to build the building by the spring, and has launched some dragon girl water shows, which are more sought after.

A special fat powder area has gradually formed here, and even many wealthy idlers from other places have come to visit, which is a little more lively than Wendeng County.

The most famous green building here is called the Drunken Xiang Pavilion, the newly trained twelve girls to come, all of them are in the name of flowers, Chunlan and Autumn Chrysanthemum have their own style, and it is better to rank down for twelve months a year, so they called the twelve flower fairies, and they became famous for a while, and the guests came like clouds.

On this day, it happened that twelve girls danced together, but when they saw the streamers flying, the guests were fascinated and gave rewards.

On the small building that belongs to Jin Yuzhu, the top girl of the Zuixiang Pavilion, there is a half-open window, and a charming girl is lying on the window frame, tilting her head to look at the hustle and bustle over there, gently shaking the fan in her hand, as if she is driving away mosquitoes and flies, looking bored.

But seeing her with a tuantued face, thin powder, and vermilion flowers on her forehead, she looked very sweet and delicate, but it was not a gold jade pearl, but a gold treasure pearl.

The main Yuzhu girl was crooked on the bamboo couch over there, talking to a few reckless men opposite.

On the side of the desk, the three little maids spread out the paper, carried the pen like flying, and recorded the things they mentioned and the price one by one.

After a while, these people left, and the Yuzhu girl just stopped to drink tea to moisten her throat, and the bustard mother outside probed her brain and came in, and said with a smile that it was a certain master.

The Yuzhu girl rolled her eyes, didn't bother to say anything, only beckoned, and the bustard's mother understood, knowing that another reward was in hand, so she happily went out to call people.

Soon three or two more came in, all of them were familiar faces, there was no greeting, and they opened their mouths to quote something.

Recently, this kind of situation has often appeared, and the nine-headed Jiao that established rules on the sea south of Gayin fell apart, and as soon as the rules were broken, all kinds of demons and monsters ran out to rob.

At the beginning, it was still in the area of Fujian and Zhejiang, and now it is infested with large and small pirates in Jiangsu and even in the south of Qingzhou Mansion in Shandong.

Because most of the maritime merchants are smuggling and trading, even if they are attacked at sea, they dare not come back to report to the official, maybe the thief has not been caught, and his own family has been questioned first.

Besides, it's useless to report to the official.

These pirates have learned the lesson of the Shark Gang, and usually only rob ships at sea, and basically do not go ashore to loot.

Most of the coastal guards are guarding the land, and Wang Shouren's sailors will not go to the sea to suppress bandits.

Unchecked, the pirates became more and more rampant.

However, it is easy for the pirates to loot, but it is not easy to sell the stolen goods, so they still have to turn around and find the tenants.

Things are sold farther away, the safer they are, and the Qinglou Chu Pavilion is a gathering place for the rich, so the middleman of Yuzhu Girl has been doing very hot business recently.

It was easy to send away two groups of people, and Miss Yuzhu sent a few little maids to rest, walked to the side of the window, pushed a handful of orbs and said, "I'm tired like this, and you don't even help me." ”

Baozhu covered his mouth with a fan and yawned, and said, "I don't understand this, if I remember it messily, how can you tell me to pay for the silver." ”

Yuzhu poked her forehead fiercely and said, "You don't want to go ashore?" I don't have any skills, how to get ashore! ”

Baozhu shook his head and pouted: "If I don't have the ability, I would have been thrown into a mass grave to feed wild dogs, and I can still be sent to you." ”

After a pause, he said: "Don't hold on to it, you don't want to go ashore, it's always good to have an extra backstage." Aren't you just doing business in your business?

"The adults have all entered Ninghai Prefecture, and the prince should arrive first when he speaks. Adults may be easy to talk to, but Master Shunzi is a snake letter, you can't hide it from him. ”

Yuzhu smacked her again: "Confused! How can you sell it at a good price if you don't have something in your hand? At this moment, it will all shake off, and there is nothing to sell when you turn around, and you will not be kicked away? ”

Baozhu touched her face and said with a smile: "Sister, with this face and this flute, no one is willing to throw you away." ”

Yuzhu pinched her face and said, "Are you so fooled by me?" Where is your face, your accordion? Didn't you stand still by hollowing out the glass workshop? ”

After hearing this, Baozhu stopped playing, spread his hands, and sighed.

Yuzhu snorted again and said, "What's the sigh, isn't it better to do this now?" ”

They usually have two paths in their business.

Either you will be up and down for a lifetime in the party, and when you are old and decrepit, you will buy a few little girls to train and be a bustard mother.

Either be good and find someone to marry

They can't afford to support them in small households, and maybe one day they will sell them when they are poor.

The ideal is to find a wealthy family, or a wealthy family, and be a concubine seriously, so that you can rely on it for life.

The gold rouge has always been prepared with both hands, and the jade jewelry beads were bought by her from a bustard's mother, and she recognized her as her sister, but she has been training to usher in all the things that are being sent.

On the other side, she is also trying to go to the second road, whether it is Meng Hongtong, the leader of the nine-headed Jiao at the beginning, or later wanting to follow Qin Yao, and now following Zhang, she is trying her best to be good.

Yuzhu left the door of independence from Rouge's side, and she also wanted to follow her old path.

After arriving in Wendeng, he caught up with Feng You, the commander of Jing Haiwei, and the road in front of Jin Yuzhu was open.

Because of following Rouge, she also knew some people at sea, and then through Feng You's way, she helped people sell stolen goods and get benefits, and she also saved a lot of money.

She can't enter the Feng family's door, at most it is an outer room.

And although Feng You is the commander at this time, who knows how much he can be transferred away temporarily.

When she caught up with her cousin Wang's family, she was much more down-to-earth.

The Wang family will not leave, and no one in the local area dares to provoke such a foreign relative.

She thought that if she was backed by the Wang family, she would not marry, open a green building by herself, and it would be good to be a worry-free and labor-saving owner.

Until the Orb came to her and brought her a whole new path.

"I have the ability and the means, and it is more than enough to be a female butler under an adult. The adult is benevolent and righteous, and never treats his subordinates badly, maybe it's me, find a competent husband with me, and be a serious wife and grandmother.

"One day, I said that I would be a widow remarrying, taking birth to recruit a husband, and having an adult as a backer, I am not afraid. It's better than drinking and laughing in this stinky mud for the rest of your life. ”

To say that Yuzhu is tempted by this, it is not true.

But the biggest advantage of Yuzhu is that it understands current affairs.

In the palm of someone's hand, shouldn't she have good fruit to eat?

All she could do was to pinching on some useful information as much as possible and selling her house for a good price.

The two were silent for a long time, and suddenly there was an anxious cry of the bustard mother outside the door.

"This lord, this lord! Girl rest, let me pass it on! Hey, if you break in again, I'm not welcome, I'm sorry to ask someone to beat you out! ”

The two people in the room looked at each other and frowned.

This kind of hard break is too common in the Qinglou, and if the bustard's mother could handle it, she would have called the thugs to beat people out.

The one who can shout like this is a hard stubble that can't be provoked at all, just inform the girl inside to be careful.

Baozhu immediately jumped to the wardrobe alertly, took a household belongings in his hand, and hid it behind him.

Soon the door was kicked open, and a tall man with a scarred face broke in, turned around and yelled at the bustard mother "Get out", the sound was like a bell, the face was hideous, and the momentum was terrifying.

Yuzhu slackened after hearing this, waved her hand to let the bustard mother withdraw, and sent the little maid to look outside, Fang sat down slowly, knocked on the remaining seat on the table, and asked the visitor: "How did you get this ghost look, who can recognize it!" Have you eaten it? But do you want to ask someone to change the food and drinks? ”

The man touched the hideous scar on his face, smiled, and said, "It's just that people can't recognize it." As he spoke, he looked at the orb warily.

Hearing Yuzhu Dao, there is no need to be suspicious, the man waved his hand and continued: "What to eat, where do you have the heart to eat." There is a big deal, I just feel unsteady, I came to talk to you, Xu Neng sold it to Commander Feng, and asked him to make a meritorious service. ”

Yuzhu rolled her eyes and sneered, "Do you still have something to do that can make Commander Feng make meritorious service?" It's not like you're going to level your opponent's cottage! ”

The man spat on the ground, and was about to scold her, but he held back and said, "Last time I told you that the giant shark wanted some food and oil......

"I told you too, go dream!" Yuzhu said impatiently. "The imperial court is bent on exterminating the Giant Shark Gang, and I won't take their business."

The man snorted and said, "Now, I don't need you, someone is willing to give this grain and oil to let the giant shark go ashore and plunder as usual, end a person's life, and there is also a reward." ”

Yuzhu Qi said: "If you want to kill people, why use giant sharks? How much trouble this is! Could it be that the giant shark is easy to deal with? Maybe the one who paid for it was also stewed with a spoonful. ”

The man immediately mocked: "You say this stupid and stupid when you see the sky, and you have a smart brain that can't guess it today?" ...... of course."

However, his words came to an abrupt halt, and he glared at the other side in anger and horror.

Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked back, only to see that Baozhu had a small short crossbow in his hand, facing the man's head.

The tip of the crossbow bolt shone with a faint blue light in the candle flame, as if it had been quenched with poison.

Baozhu pulled the corners of his mouth, showed a sweet smile, lightly opened his lips, and said: "Of course, the person to be killed is too big, if the ordinary bandit is killed, the place must dig three feet into the ground to find the murderer, maybe the people behind the scenes will also be involved." That's why I want to make a fake appearance of a pirate going ashore to loot and kill people. ”

"That master's once led the army to encircle and suppress the Giant Shark Gang, and beside that person, there is also a person who has a grudge against the Giant Shark Gang.

"You want to sell this news to Feng You, and you want Feng You to rescue you. Because someone had saved that person before, and had already received tangible benefits, Feng You would definitely be tempted.

"What's more, the giant shark is now even at the bottom of the food and oil, I'm afraid it won't last long, Feng You can easily destroy the giant shark, and he can even ask the court for credit, he will naturally go."

The man looked at the charming woman in front of him like a monster, forced out a smile, and said, "Auntie...... It's really a half-fairy...... No, no, it's really a fairy, a whole fairy...... That's a good calculation. Auntie, you can hold your hands steady......"

Baozhu's voice suddenly turned cold, and said, "Then let's say, who dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head?" If you tell it all honestly, your aunt's hand will naturally be stable. If there is a sentence that is not true, hey, there is no antidote to the poison on this crossbow arrow. ”
