Chapter Twenty-Three: The Unlucky Child

How long Jiang Qiao took a bath, Qin Ziqing muttered for a long time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He really didn't know that this little brother Qin was such a nagging person in nature.

"Brother Qiao, what kind of luck do you say you have? Go out and meet a county lord, and then go out and recruit a princess! Qin Ziqing pondered for a long time, but he still couldn't help but be amazed.

Qinghe Village is just a poor rural area, he and Qin Ziyuan have been studying abroad for many years, and all they see is a village chief like his father, a mountain chief of the academy, and a county magistrate like Han County Ling, who thought he was going to die in Weicheng, and he didn't dare to think that he would be admitted to the Jinshi and Jinluan Palaces in the future for His Majesty to personally question, who knew that the daughter of the sect and the princess would be seen so casually!

Jiang Qiao didn't want to discuss that mysterious issue, in fact, he couldn't figure it out himself.

He stood up from the water and raised his eyebrows at Qin Ziqing: "You don't go to take care of Xiao Yuan, watch me take a big man take a bath here, like that?" ”

Qin Ziqing glanced at his sturdy upper body, turned around and walked out the door with a sigh. Brother Qiao is really different from their readers, look at the strong muscles, tsk!

Jiang Qiao put on clean clothes, leaned on the side of the bed and thought about something else.

Ah Jiang didn't say it, but he already knew that she was a princess by now. In Qin Ziqing's chattering mouth, he also knew that she was not only a princess, but also Emperor Qi's favorite concubine. Her father is the Emperor of Great Qi, her mother is the first Empress of Great Qi, her brother is the prince of Great Qi and the future emperor, and her maternal ancestor has 400,000 soldiers and horses in his hands!

What other girl in the world is more noble and illustrious than her?

But she wasn't happy. Jiang Qiao sighed, remembering the stubbornness in her apricot eyes. It's just a little girl with an ignorant heart, but she's forced to learn to be cruel. He didn't need to ask to know that the servant girl who betrayed her, Lu Ying, would definitely not die.

But her death also ended Ah Jiang's innocence.

This is actually a good change. Born in the royal family, the struggle must be fiercer than in their business world, and even if she is deeply favored, the slightest carelessness will be doomed. The earlier the ginger matures, the less danger it brings with it like the green glow.

Intellectually I know that this is good, but Mr. Jiang still feels distressed!

Princess Yining is no longer the Ah Jiang who will kick his ass angrily in Qinghe Village, but it is not something he can see if he wants to, but Jiang Qiao has gone all the way, but no one has really stopped him. Knowing the implicit attitude in this attitude, his mood immediately improved.

"Your Highness, Jiang ...... Childe asks to see him. As a first-class palace maid, Hui Yan still has to adhere to the etiquette, so she stopped Jiang Qiao outside the door of the study and symbolically asked Her Royal Highness the meaning of the princess.

"Jiang Gongzi?" Qi Jiang chewed on the title and burst out laughing without warning.

She also knew that this title was difficult for Hui Yan, Jiang Qiao had no title or rank, and he had no fame, except for calling Gongzi, it seemed that there was really no other title. But she couldn't help but compare Jiang Qiao with those hairpins in Kyoto, the difference between the little white face and the little black face was too stark!

Listening to Ah Jiang's laughter through the door, Jiang Qiao's mind appeared with her smiling and smiling appearance, and her heart itched.

"Invite him in."

This sound was like a heavenly sound, Jiang Qiao didn't wait for the guards to help him push the door, and he swaggered in. The last time I was so eager was when I chased those boys behind my ass and stabbed him with arrows.

Qi Jiang raised his cheeks and watched him walk in, and successfully made Mr. Jiang look at his expression, and then turned his head to ask Hui Yan: "Take some snacks." ”

Jiang Qiao swore that she had seen the smug cunning on the face of Her Royal Highness the Noble Princess of Daqi!

"Brother Qiao."

Qi Jiang pretended to blink his big watery eyes innocently, and his long blue eyelashes were brushed as if feathers were teasing Jiang Qiao's heart, his ears quietly turned red, and he asked fiercely, "What are you doing?" ”

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief!

Qi Jiang pouted, and trotted to Jiang Qiao's side with a large pile of books with a blank face, "Brother Qiao, help me count these people~"

It was a roster of 20,000 conscripts, detailing their names, ages, household registrations, and the number of people in their families, and they were sent to the Weicheng Order as a bargaining chip to ensure that no one would escape in the middle of the conscription. The first thing Qi Jiang did when she arrived in Weicheng was to kill the Weicheng Order that had been deceived and concealed, and these things naturally came into her hands along with the City Lord's Mansion.

She needed to check how many of these people were still in Weicheng, how many of them were sick, how many had no food, how many had nowhere to live on the streets, and how many of those who were missing died of forced labor and disease, and how many had absconded.

This is a complicated but also very important work, there are many affairs in Weicheng, Qi Jiang can't get away, she can only ask Jiang Qiao for help.

In Qi Jiang's heart, Jiang Qiao is a virtuous person who is hidden in the mountains and forests, he has hills and valleys in his chest, and he is also loyal and reliable.

However, she missed that Mr. Jiang was illiterate!

Jiang Qiao was moved by Ah Jiang's trust and reliance on him, and couldn't say anything about his illiteracy, so he held back for a long time before saying: "My brother Qin Ziqing is calm and meticulous, and loyal to the monarch and patriotic, you can give him this job." ”

He obviously said that he was illiterate, but Ah Jiang still asked him to take the imperial examination and let him sort out the roster, was he happy that the little girl imagined him too powerful, or was he angry that she didn't reassure him about his words?

But...... Seeing her squint and smile with dimples, he felt his heart flutter again.

- Your dimples have no wine, but I am drunk like a dog.

"Then you can help me identify those people in prison and see how much food and grass I should ask their father for!" Qi Jiang's expression was fierce for a moment, and when he looked at Jiang Qiao, he softened again, "I forgot to ask you, are you injured?" ”

Jiang Qiao immediately knew who these "them" were.

A bunch of cheaters! Mr. Jiang smiled evilly, feeling that Ah Jiang was very talented in becoming a profiteer, but it was a pity that as a princess, he lacked a lot of fun in trapping. Sorry for his little girl for a second, Mr. Jiang was ready to sharpen his knife Huo Huo to the pigs and sheep.

"I'm fine, you just said who is not cleaned up!"

"The county lord of Wen'an is the only daughter of my second uncle, my uncle died on the battlefield ten years ago, and my aunt also went with him. Qi Jiang's face was serious, and he explained to Jiang Qiao seriously, "The Wen family is powerful, and my cousin is also favored, this time...... It can only be handled with care. ”

After Jiang Qiao listened to Ah Jiang's words, complications flashed in his eyes. Ah Jiang didn't realize it herself, she was swaying in imperial power and family affection: "Lord Wen'an" and "cousin" were originally two opposing positions.

If she wants to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, she can't do it; If you want her to protect and protect her, she can't do it.

If Ah Jiang is Jiang Qiao's opponent, he has many means to defeat her; But she wasn't, she was his little girl, and he would only feel sorry for her, indulge her, and then do his best to protect her.

"I see, what about the others?" Jiang Qiao rubbed his hands, thinking about how to bleed.

"They are all the children of military generals, and their fathers have exchanged a lot of grain with Nanban." Qi Jiang raised the same evil smile as Mr. Jiang, "By the way, don't forget the grain that your sons gave to the palace before, those are two different things." ”

"Ah Jiang." Jiang Qiao looked serious.

Ah Jiang looked at him and said softly, "What's wrong?" ”

"No, nothing." Jiang Qiao grinned, staggered around and walked out, to teach those unlucky children who were cheating on their fathers.

Ah Jiang raised his eyebrows, knowing that the guy must have wanted to say something strange just now.
