Chapter 13 Wu Yi infiltrated the prefect's yamen
Qian Ning received Qian Wanquan's letter and immediately said goodbye from the Zhang family, and the Zhang family was also full of worries and sent Zhang Hao's brothers and sisters to go with him.
At this time, Wu Yi had already scolded Li Lao more than four or eight hundred times in his heart, thinking that if the road to Jinzhong was far away, he might have left when he arrived in Qianning, but he didn't know what to do when he went to Huizhou, and he couldn't decide after pondering for two hours, and he felt the copper plate in his pocket and decided at once: Go to Huizhou, the reason is simple: near, save money!
Wu Yi left Li Laosi behind, and happily went all the way to Huizhou, with fewer and fewer copper plates in his pocket, and Huizhou was already close at hand.
Zhou Qi got up early and went out of the city to measure the land, and also instructed the chain to issue a recruitment notice, planning to recruit some family members to facilitate life.
Wu Yi got up early and hurried, saw the city wall of Huizhou from a distance, and saw an adult walking in the field with a group of officials in a blink of an eye. Wu Yi ran two steps and hid behind a tree to observe carefully, and suddenly realized that this group of people definitely did not come to arrest him, because he had never been to Huizhou at all, so it was impossible for him to do anything bad. Wu Yi looked around, fortunately no one saw that she was so ridiculous, Wu Yi scratched her neck, strode forward, and walked straight to the side of the officials, she thought that it must be very exciting to walk past a group of officials in the open.
Zhou Qi was originally looking at the fields, but when he turned around, he saw a woman walking this way with two hands, and he felt strange in his heart.
"You, you're not ......"
Wu Yi originally wanted to find some excitement, but seeing this adult, now it is really exciting. "Ah, have we met?"
"How's your dad? Are you cured? ”
Wu Yi's brain buzzed, thinking that she really shouldn't be scared, "I, I." Wu Yi cried, "Ah, my lord, it's really you!" ”
"What's wrong with you?"
"My dad, my dad, he's dead! Woo woo woo, my lord, I was thinking of coming to pay you back, but yesterday, yesterday someone stole all my money, you see! Wu Yi turned out his empty purse and pockets to show Zhou Qi, "Ahhh I thought I was going to starve to death, so how can I pay you back! Wu Yi hugged Zhou Qi and cried, all the servants looked at Zhou Qi in a daze, Zhou Qi felt embarrassed, it was the first time in his life that he was held by a woman with a handful of snot and tears.
"Don't cry, you, don't cry yet. Keep measuring, let's go, let's go over there first! ”
"My lord, you don't know, my father is terminally ill, but he still insisted on telling me that he must find you and return the money to you, but I inquired all the way, and I don't know the name of Engong, I have taken a lot of wrongful roads, I, fortunately, God has eyes, I finally found you, but the thief, stole all my money! I couldn't even eat, but thanks to God's eyes, I found the adult so quickly! ”
The two sat on the ridge next to them, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Here they brought some dry food, which they were going to eat at noon, so you can eat some first. ”
"Huh? Adults, this is not good, I eat it, and the adults don't have to eat it. "Wu Yi ate a lot in the morning, but now she is not hungry at all, how can she eat the big steamed buns.
"It's okay, I'll eat less at noon, I'll share a little with you, come." Saying that, Zhou Qi handed a steamed bun to Wu Yi, Wu Yi looked at the big white steamed bun and cried, "My lord, you, you are really a good person!" Wu Yi shed tears while eating, "My lord, if you have something, you can get busy first!" ”
"Oh, it's okay, you eat! Get you some water. ”
"Hey, yes, it smells so good!"
Wu Yi finally finished eating the steamed buns with water, "My lord, you are so good, if it weren't for you, I would have died twice." ”
"Do you have any plans for the future?"
"I don't know, but I heard that Huizhou is so rich, I'll go and see, maybe someone wants a helper."
"Oh yes, my sister is looking for a helper, if you will."
"Really?" Wu Yi thought to herself that she really didn't look at the yellow calendar when she went out today, not only did she meet an official errand, but she was the one she had deceived, and she was forced to eat a big steamed bun, and now she is very likely to go to work at the house of the "wronged boss", and it is a matter of time before it is exposed.
"Today's chain seems to say, two taels of silver a month."
"Two taels of silver!" Wu Yi stood up all of a sudden, bowed to Zhou Qilian twice, and the steamed bun almost spit out, "Thank you, my lord!" Thank you, sir! I'm going to do a good job! ”
"Then you go to the chain, it's in the prefect's yamen, you can find it as soon as you ask, but the chain shouldn't know you, you take this to find him, he knows this." Zhou Qi took off a jade pendant from his waist.
Wu Yi took the jade pendant: a plum blossom was carved in the middle of the round jade pendant that was white and red. Wu Yi thought to herself that this jade pendant must be very valuable. Suddenly I remembered something, "Prefect's yamen?" My lord, are you the prefect? ”
Zhou Qi just showed a standard royal smile, "Okay, you go!" We still have some work to do. ”
"Okay, my lord, see you in the evening!"
Wu Yi went all the way into the city, and his heart became entangled. Two taels of silver and the danger of exposure, how to choose? Wu Yi inquired all the way to the gate of the Qian Mansion, and when he saw that the door was like a city, he stepped forward to explain his intentions.
"Go, go, anyone wants to go in! I also know the young owner! Really, I still know the Emperor Lao Tzu! ”
Wu Yi was really blasted out, and at this time, two taels of silver and nowhere to go naturally prevailed. She came to the prefect's yamen again, and saw that this was also a city, Wu Yi inquired and learned that everyone came to the interview after reading the domestic helper notice, Wu Yi saw so many people, and she was already a domestic helper here, and she was in a better mood, what is the danger of exposure, how is it possible? This is Huizhou, and no one even really knows themselves.
"Excuse me, who is the chain adult?" Wu Yi went straight to the head of the team.
"You are?"
"Oh, I have a jade pendant, and the adults said that if you take it, you can become a domestic helper if you come here."
Chain took the jade pendant, this was hung on Zhou Qi's waist by himself this morning, and looked at Wu Yi again, thinking where did the wild girl come from, why did the adults give her the jade pendant? Why don't you know this man? Chain only thought for a moment, and also showed the standard palace smile, "Oh, since it was ordered by the lord, then you can come in." ”
"Good!" Wu Yi replied crisply and neatly, and followed the chain into the prefect's mansion.
Wu Yi walked into the backyard of a government office for the first time, and saw that it was clean, with weapon racks on the left, "family members" practicing martial arts, flower pots on the right, and a young lady sitting on a swing.
"Come, come here."
"Oh, yes."
"Miss, the little maid has found it for you."
"I've seen the eldest lady!" Wu Yi hurriedly came over and bowed, "My name is Wu Yi, and I will definitely serve the eldest lady well in the future." ”
Wan Ting stopped, looked Wu Yi up and down, rolled her eyes and said, "Hmph, it is said that Huizhou City is rich and rivals the country, but who knows that there is no smooth person." ”
Wu Yi smiled embarrassedly, "Miss, we naturally can't compare with their rich and noble families, we are a little worse, but we work neatly!" Miss, I'll push you, so that you don't have to work hard to swing high. Saying that, Wu Yi had already come behind Wan Ting.
Wan Ting instantly bounced up and stood in the yard, "Have you washed your hands!" Just touch me! ”
Wu Yi was stunned and stretched out his hands, "My hands are clean, and I came from dinner just now." ”
"Chain, look at who you're looking for, where did the wild girl come from!"
"Miss, he was found by an adult, so he ......"
Wan Ting glared at the chain, glanced at Wan Ting again, and said, "Really, then you should teach her quickly." Then he turned and went into the house.
Chain looked at Wu Yi, "It's okay, don't be afraid, Miss is such a temper, come, I'll take you to wash your hands, and then tell you about the rules in this house." ”
"Okay, there's Steward Lao."
The chain introduced while walking, "Our Huizhou prefect yamen, now it is the prefect and the young lady two masters, those who are practicing martial arts are the guards brought by our adults, I am the personal butler of the adults, what about you, in the future, I will serve the young lady, two taels of silver per month......"
Wu Yi's heart was crooked when he heard the two taels of silver, and he couldn't hear anything else he said.
"Here, here's the kitchen, you just need to wash your hands here. Hot water is there. ”
Wu Yi washed it seriously, holding up her two wet hands and smiling. Chain frowned, "Wash, what are you looking at me for?" ”
"I've washed it, look, how clean!"
"Well, I really don't know any rules, huh? I'll tell you, in the future, Miss Waiting, wash your hands with water three times, the water is hotter than once, but you can't burn your hands, wipe with a special dry towel after washing, apply special hand cream, don't raise your hands and smile at others! ”
"Huh? Wash your hands three times? I don't wash off the skin yet! ”
"Silence!" Wu Yi didn't know what it meant, and looked puzzled, "You just can't make a loud noise, what's there to make a fuss about!" Have you remembered what I told you just now? ”
"Remembered, remembered."
"Okay, that's right, you boil hot water here to make tea and send it to Miss, remember, the water should be eight points hot, you can't mix it with cold water, you have to wait for the hot water to cool down!" Also, when you enter the lady's room, you have to make a bow, don't go in stunned! ”
"Okay, I know, you can't mix it with cold water, you have to say it."
"Well, I have to recruit two helpers in front of me, you can familiarize yourself with it here."
After the chain left, Wu Yi rummaged through this and that, but couldn't find the tea, so he had to go to the courtyard to ask the guards. "Hahahaha, of course the tea leaves are in the tea room, what are you looking for in the kitchen?"
Wu Yi came to the tea room and thought: Good guy, such a big room is actually used for tea sets, which is bigger than the largest room I have ever lived in. Wu Yi rushed in, looked at this and touched that, and felt that this Huizhou was really the right one. Wu Yi slumped on the chair and sniffed violently with the tea canist, "Fragrant!" ”
