Let go of these worries, and Tuoba carefully retracts his thoughts. Let's send Xiao Yan's servants away first!

Chen Qingzhi will not return it. Although there is never a shortage of famous generals like Chen Qingzhi in the world, as long as you have a vision, you can naturally find them, but even if you have a vision, it will take time to discover them. Now that Chen Qingzhi himself has entered the middle of the world, how can he say that he will let it go, let alone Xiao Yan, even if Xiao Yan sends someone, he can't admit it like this.

Not to mention that now Xiao Yan just sent a domestic servant over, even if he came in person, it would be impossible to get back the maid who had been sold from him. If he agreed, if he really wanted to be like Zheng Daozhao said, the entire Jiankang would despise him and think that he was so deceitful. waited for him to return to Pingcheng, and there was an attack waiting for him. So when he went to bed, he decided that no matter whether that Chen Qingzhi was Chen Qingzhi in history or not, he was not ready to return it.

When I walked to the atrium, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a green silk robe and a gauze hat on his head, tall and fat, with a mustache. Just look at his clothes, there is the dress of a house slave, and some people believe him when he is a petty official.

He was not the only one in the atrium, but there were also Lu Guang and several guards with swords on their waists standing on the side, all watching the fat man.

In addition, under the corridor stood Li Biao and Jiang Shaoyou. I should have heard the news and came out to see.

"Ahem!" Tuoba Shen coughed deliberately.

"Your Highness!" Li Biao and Jiang Shaoyou stepped forward together.

"See Your Highness!" Several of the guards also bowed.

Tuoba Shen nodded, and smiled at a few guards: "Zhu Qing walked with Gu to Jiankang, and he suffered hardships all the way, and Gu deeply felt that Zhu Qing was loyal and diligent. The secretary and others can inform their colleagues that if they need it in Jiankang, they can go to the cities and buy it, and pay it off for the secretary alone. ”

Several guards showed joy in their eyes, and said in unison: "Your Highness Xie!" ”

Tuoba Shen nodded, turned to Xiao Servant and asked, "You are Xiao Join's servant?" Xiao Senjun sent you here, except to send this letter, do you have anything to say? ”

Don't be polite to a house slave, not everyone can be polite, the identity is not equal, and the other party is not from a scholar's background, and polite words will only attract ridicule. Besides, this kind of good impression of a little person is worth nothing to him.

The middle-aged fat man was obviously frightened by a few sergeants with ring-headed knives on the side, his face was a little unnatural, and after listening to Tuoba Shen's words, he bowed his head and said, "Exactly." The villain came here, in addition to sending letters, there is also one thing to ask the envoy to be accommodating. ”

"What?"

"There is a maid in the bad family who made a mistake in serving the decoction yesterday, which angered the lady. It's just because Mrs. Bad has always been very strict with her family, so she sold this maid in Nanshi today to take a small group. It's just that the head of the family pitied this maid's situation in the past and couldn't bear it. I learned that this maid was bought by your embassy, so I sent the villain here, and asked the envoy to allow the villain to bring back the maid. In order to show sincerity, the money consumed, the disadvantager is willing to repay three times. ”

Tuoba said cautiously: "Since Xiao joins the army with such kindness, please return this maid alone, why don't you say it yourself?" ”

"Lord San Lang originally wanted to come in person, but because his hometown had been sick for many months, Lord San Lang had little leisure to serve the decoction, so he sent the villain here."

I see! No wonder only one servant was sent here.

"You wait here, there is a book in Lone, you can bring back Yu Xiao to join the army."

Since Xiao Yan didn't mean to offend, Tuoba Shen didn't want to offend him too deeply, although people can't pay it back, but it's okay to write a reply.

Entered the main hall with Li Biao and others, dictated by Tuoba Shen, Li Biao wrote in hand, but after a short while, he wrote a reply, the content of which was nothing more than admiring Xiao Jun's name and other polite words, and finally said that the maid she bought had been subordinate to her subordinates, and it was not good to ask them to cede it again, and asked Xiao to join the army to be able to fulfill it.

After sealing the letter, Tuoba Shen handed it to Lu Guang and said, "You go and give this letter to the slave of the Xiao family and send him out of the museum." I said that since the maid had already bought it, there was no reason to return it, and I have written and written about it. ”

After Lu Guang received the order to go out, Zheng Daozhao Shi Shiran entered the main hall.

Tuoba Shen didn't mention what happened just now, and asked, "Zheng Qing, where is the maidservant mother and son?" ”

"I think it's cleaning the house. There are more than 50 old houses in this Qingyi Hall, which is enough to accommodate two or three hundred people, but many of them have not been cleaned. Six out of ten women bought today are not good for living with many men. Therefore, the subordinate officials have placed them in a side room at the partition wall of the inner courtyard, where His Royal Highness sleeps and is guarded by sergeants. Just take care of driving safety. ”

Tuoba nodded cautiously, Zheng Daozhao thought about it quite well, these maids came for the first time, so naturally they couldn't be allowed to go in and out of the back bed at will.

。。。。。。。

has already sent away the slaves of the Xiao family, and Tuoba Shen plans to personally confirm the details of that Chen Qingzhi and ask clearly. Although it can basically be confirmed that this Chen Qingzhi is Chen Qingzhi in history, the possibility of the same name and surname is not at all, it is best to confirm it, don't be happy in vain.

Speaking of confirmation, it's really troublesome, Chen Qingzhi in history is not from a high-ranking family, so he doesn't have much introduction to his family background, only that he was born under the rule of Yangzhou Thorn History. There are no others, but just now Zheng Daozhao said that this Chen Qingzhi was born in Yixing County, which is in line with this.

What can be done now is to test whether this Chen Qingzhi has potential, whether it is partial to literature or martial arts, at least to see if he has potential. Although famous generals inevitably use the battlefield to learn and hone, they must also have potential in their own right. When I was a child, I was stupid and ordinary, and it is not for nothing that I grew up to become a famous minister, but there are definitely not many, because fools do not have many opportunities to grow, and few people will pay attention to a grass on the side of the road and take it home as a flower to cultivate. So to see how far a person can go in the future, the bits and pieces of childhood can also be used as a reference.

Now that's all there is to Chen Qingzhi's information, that's all that can be done.

"Your Highness, Chen's mother and son have arrived." Lu Guang walked in with a mother and son.

Tuoba looked cautiously and saw that the woman who came in was about twenty times, very delicate, and her clothes were also very neat, wearing a wide-sleeved long green shirt on the upper body, and a long white skirt up to the ankles on the lower body (the Southern Dynasty was still white, probably the profuse of metaphysics advocating nature and rebelling against tradition), and the blouse and long skirt pressed against the waist. As you walk, you can see the linen belt hanging from your back to your ankles. Beside her was a child who was a head shorter than him, with his hair tied in a bun on both sides of his head, wearing a short shirt, and his waist and arms were wrapped around sackcloth straps, but he looked a little nervous. A far cry from his mother's composure.

"The slave has seen His Highness!" Chen's mother, Liu, bowed down and bowed

"Mrs. Chen, I have summoned you here to inform you of this. Today, Mrs. Chen's late master, Xiao joined the army to repair books and sent slaves to the museum, and she said that she wanted to take you back to Xiao's house. Speaking of this, Tuoba Shen looked at Mrs. Chen's complexion, and saw that Mrs. Chen's face was not abnormal, and she seemed very calm.

Looks like she doesn't really want to go back!

Gu has already repaired the book and politely rejected Xiao's intention to join the army. I invited Mrs. to come because I wanted to ask Mrs. what the relationship was with the Xiao family. Speaking of which, the museum went to the city to buy because of the lack of maids, and the slaves and maids passed by, so there was no need to ask. It's just that today Xiao joined the army and sent a book to pursue it, and he was surprised. When I first came to Jiangzuo, people and places were born, so I had to be more vigilant. It is to ask Mrs. to solve the doubts. ”

Mrs. Chen's eyes swept over Tuoba Shen and the others, lowered her head slightly, and said, "Your Highness has a question, and the concubine doesn't dare not answer." It's just that I also ask His Highness to retreat from the left and right, so that he dares to tell the truth."

Li Biao said: "There is nothing to say to others, Madame has something to say, why do we need to retreat." ”

Mrs. Chen's face did not change, she was silent, and looked down at the ground slightly.

This woman is stubborn by nature, no wonder she will be sold.

"Zhuqing, let's go out first!"

"Your Highness......" Li Biao was a little embarrassed, they all went out, only let Tuoba Shen stay here? They didn't think the woman was doing anything, but it was just in case.

"With Lu Qing staying here, can Li Qing rest assured?" Tuoba Shen knew what Li Biao was worried about, and said widely

After waiting for Li Biao, Zheng Daozhao, and Jiang Shaoyou to go out, Tuoba said cautiously: "Mrs. Chen said that there are only four people left here, Lu Qing is a lonely cronie, and Mrs. Chen does not need to be taboo." ”

Mrs. Chen saw that Tuoba Shen had already sent Li Biao and others out, and it was not good to say anything else, so she said: "The concubine's father is from Shangyu, and the deceased husband's single name is a respectful character, which is originally a small clan in Yixing. Three years ago, the concubine and her deceased husband left their hometown to come to Jiankang, and the deceased husband was in the house of Xiao Danyang (Danyang Yin Xiao Shunzhi, Xiao Yan's father) because of the Xuandao and the art of counting. Speaking of this, Mrs. Chen's mood was slightly different, and her eyes moistened a little.

"After the death of her deceased husband, the concubine wanted to take Xiao'er Qingzhi back to Yixing. But he didn't want Xiao to join the army because of his kindness with his deceased husband and his festive intelligence, so he kept him many times. The concubine is nearly ten years old, and if she entrusts Xiao to join the army, she will have a good future in the future. It's just that the concubine is not dead, and it is inconvenient to stay, and because Xiao joined the army in the deceased husband and young son, the concubine thought about the difficulty of retribution, so she wrote the deed and presented it. Stay in the Shaw family to do some modest things, so as to raise and educate the children. ”

"That's a beautiful thing. Xiao joined the army Yahuai, didn't his wife know about this? Why did you make such a terrible trip? ”

"Mrs. Xiao's mother is noble, her family education is strict, she has joined the army since she married Xiao, and her family is also known for her strictness in Jiankang. Just because Xiao joined the army and remembered the friendship of her deceased husband and loved the intelligence of children, she couldn't help children in and out. After a long time, it caused Mrs. Xiao to misunderstand. It's just that although this matter is not a secret, it is not good for people to be public. When Mrs. Chen said this, her mood also stabilized.

So that's the case, no wonder Xiao Yan's wife found an opportunity to sell her. But doesn't this Xiao Yan know his wife's temperament? Mrs. Chen has no intention of going back, probably because of this incident. After all, the gossip is serious, who has been suffering for a long time?

Looking at Mrs. Chen, Tuoba Shen even maliciously guessed, maybe Xiao Yan is putting a long line to catch a big fish? Just look at this Mrs. Chen, who is only in her twenties, just at the prime age, her appearance and temperament are clear and graceful. Looking at her conversation, you know that her tutor is quite good, and maybe marrying Chen Jing is a subordinate marriage. Although she has been a slave for nearly a year, she does not have the slightest inferiority complex on her face. This rare and excellent woman is certainly an attractive poison for men.

"I heard that Xiao joined the army and was involved in Confucianism, Taoism and interpretation, and he was knowledgeable and far-reaching, and he could love Ling Lang, and he thought that Ling Lang did have excellent talents. Today, Zheng Qingyan and Mrs. Chen's beloved son is very smart and talented, and Lone is very curious, and wants to try to make Lang Cai learn. Mrs. Unknown thinks it's okay? ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen retracted her thoughts, looked at Tuoba Shen, and became curious in her heart. In her opinion, Tuoba Shen's speech and demeanor are no less than that of adults, how could she take a fancy to her children? But this is a great thing, if you can get the favor of His Royal Highness the Prince, but it is not ten thousand times better than being a slave?

"How dare the concubine have objections, if he enters in the eyes of His Royal Highness who is a child who is too narrow, it is also his blessing." Mrs. Chen said

"Very good! Madame agreed. Loneliness is not procrastinating. This invited Li Qing and Zheng Qing to teach each other with a number of questions. Tuoba Shen looked at Chen Qingzhi, who was not looking at him with curiosity, and said.
