Xue Chongxun asked Xue Liu to sign the sales contract, and he came out of the Criminal Department with eighteen female dependents of the Yao Mansion. can only buy female dependents, and men cannot stay in Beijing and will be exiled to Lingnan to fill the army. As for what these women were used for, he didn't know it himself, most of them were useless, and there was no shortage of maids and slaves at home.

However, when he observed the expressions of those people from the carriage, he found that most of them had expressions of happiness and gratitude, and he felt very comfortable. Even if it is a good deed to help others, no matter what your intentions are, it is always a good thing.

He reached into his arms and touched it, took out a booklet, licked the wet brush and wrote: Kindness can bring happiness. This booklet was brought with me recently, and it was written down with some detailed records of the rules and regulations of the household department, and sometimes I could suddenly get inspiration to improve the management methods, and there were also sporadic comments from the staff that he thought made sense.

Bai Qimei, who was sitting opposite, saw him writing and painting, so she asked, "What are you writing?" ”

There was still Sanniang who didn't say a word sitting on the side, two people who grew up together, and now they are together again.

Xue Chongxun shook his head and said, "I remembered that a courtesan named Meng Xiaoyu came." ”

Bai Qimei sighed boredly and stopped talking. She followed Xue Chongxun back to Beijing from Longyou, and lived in the palace, sometimes with Sanniang, sometimes with Xue Chongxun to go out to do errands, most of the time she was wandering around in Chang'an, but she was also free.

After a while, she pointed to Yao Wan outside and said: "That little lady is the daughter of Prime Minister Yao, and she is very famous in the Eastern Capital, and people on the rivers and lakes often talk about her." Xue Lang is very powerful, he can get it without much effort, and now you have a good fortune again. ”

Xue Chongxun looked out from the corner of the curtain and said, "It's just average." ”

"Just wash it." Bai Qimei covered her mouth and smiled, "What about the famous lady, don't you want to taste it tonight?" ”

Xue Chongxun's interest was not very high: "I'll talk about it later, when will you give me a taste?" ”

"Look at your watch." Bai Qimei giggled and grabbed Sanniang's arm, "Why don't we two sisters wait for Xue Lang together?" ”

Sanniang was stunned for a moment, glared at her fiercely, and hurriedly shook her hand away.

"Three skins, interesting." Xue Chongxun glanced at Sanniang, who had a cold face, and said hurriedly, "But don't make fun of Sanniang, she doesn't like it." ”

Bai Qimei didn't care if Sanniang was unhappy, she still had a smiling face, "She doesn't like it, I'm afraid I'm afraid I've been looking forward to it for a long time...... Isn't it Sanniang, if you are not interesting to Xue Lang, you have been with people for so long? ”

"You go to die!" Sanniang scolded angrily, compared to Bai Qimei's crisp voice, her voice was a little hoarse and low.

A few people were talking and laughing, and suddenly they heard a rustling sound overhead, and it was raining in the sky, and Bai Qimei Jiao exclaimed, "It's raining." ”

Xue Chongxun hurriedly knocked on the carriage and shouted, "Pang Er, stop." ”

When he pushed the door open, he saw the cavalry guards standing motionless on the street, and a little rain was just a trivial matter for the martial artists of the Flying Tiger Regiment. But the women who had just come out of their cells and walked with the team were not so strong, one by one shrunk their heads and shoulders, shivering from the cold.

Xue Chongxun looked left and right, pointed to the wine shop on the side, and said, "Xue Liu, you take a few people, lead them to the house to shelter from the rain, and send a carriage to pick them up after we go back." ”

Butler Xue Liu hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, Lang Jun." ”

Those ladies thanked them one after another, and they were somewhat moved, the new owner treats people well and can think about others. People from ordinary powerful families, who have the air to control the life and death of ordinary slaves and maids?

Xue Chongxun waved his hand and was about to return to the car, when he saw Yao Wan bowing to him slightly, he nodded and looked at it a few times.

She was still wearing Xue Chongxun's cyan wide kudzu robe, and she didn't have time to clean up her messy hair, but Xue Chongxun didn't look at the dress when she looked at women, judging from Yao Wan's straight neck and facial lines, she said that this woman was indeed a little beautiful. Meiyu still has a childish spirit between his mouth and nose, and he is estimated to be about the same age as Li Yan'er, but he has developed much better than Li Yan'er, and he is very tall, a little taller than the male slaves of the Xue family on the side.

However, Xue Chongxun didn't pay special attention to it, there are more beautiful women, and it's just the appearance of it. After getting into the car, he ordered to continue on his way and went home.

He doesn't have to worry about the rest of the matter, the Sun family and Xue Liu will arrange it, and they can always settle the new buyer properly. At this time, it was almost time, and the people from the outer mansion and the pro-kingdom were also about to go home from their next duty, and it was raining again, so Xue Chongxun didn't plan to see the staff again, and walked straight to the inner mansion, so he would rest early today, and he would have to go to Daming Palace to attend the banquet early tomorrow morning.

When he walked to the corridor on the south side of the bedroom, he couldn't help but slow down because of the rain.

Sunny, cloudy, snowy, rainy, Xue Chongxun's favorite is a rainy day. He couldn't tell why, maybe a rainy day was like a baptism from heaven to earth, which could make the environment cleaner? You can also use the excuse to hide in the house on rainy days, and if there are people next to you who are pleasing to the eye, it is even better to get a rest. Just as some people say that the pursuit of stability is a kind of weakness, Xue Chongxun feels that he does have a weak side.

But sometimes because of the competitive mentality, the inflated anger of anger, the vanity of being feared, etc., he cares most about making himself awesome, so he is unwilling to show weakness and incompetence.

…… But this rain curtain is really good.

Under the eaves of the promenade, strings of water lines drip down and splash water; Humid and clean air; The hazy vista is in the rain curtain; The rustling and tinkling sound of the rain is different from the noise of the crowd, the sound of the rain is very soft and quiet, and it is also different from the silent sunny day, which makes people feel very lonely.

He slowly entered his living room, Pei Niang was on duty, and when he saw that he was only wearing a liner, he hurriedly went to find a coat and came over.

After a while, Sun also came, holding a purple dress in his arms. Xue Chongxun got up and saluted and asked, "The new clothes you made for me?" ”

Sun handed the clothes to Pei Niang and said, "Change it for Xue Lang to try if it fits." It was completed just a few days ago and just washed and dried. Tomorrow is the tenth day, I heard that there is a big banquet in the palace, and you just need to put on new clothes. There are not only princes and ministers who go to the palace for the banquet, but also foreign envoys, Xue Lang should dress up decently. Sun smiled as he spoke.

Xue Chongxun said casually: "It's not the first time I've participated in this kind of occasion. However, seeing that Sun's love was good, he obediently asked Pei Niang to serve him to change clothes and try on.

At this time, he found a horizontal knife with a blade wrapped in paper on the bookcase, so he said "Huh", walked over and picked it up, and tore open the straw paper to see that it was a new knife.

"My saber is old and I want to change it, who sent it in?"

Pei Niang said: "The person who sent it said that it was ordered by Yuwen Gong, the manager of the inner factory, and it was they who recently recruited some newly forged weapons from craftsmen. ”

Xue Chongxun raised his hand, glanced at the blade horizontally in front of him, and suddenly found that the blade was a little special, it turned out that there was a blood groove!

At this time, Sun Shi on the side said: "It's scary to fiddle with that thing in the house." ”

"Blood trough, ......" Xue Chongxun muttered to himself, suddenly remembering that he seemed to have mentioned this in front of Yuwen Xiaomian last year, and he also drew a sketch at that time. Later, there were many things, and he had already forgotten about this stubble, but he didn't expect Yu Wenxiao to remember that he actually made a real thing according to the drawings.

Xue Chongxun couldn't help but say: "Yuwenxiao is a good person, he can be used, not bad." ”

Sun said: "Didn't you just give a new knife?" ”

Xue Chongxun touched the blood groove on the knife with his hand, smiled without saying a word, and then pulled out the old knife in the scabbard of the saber and threw it on the case, and put the new knife in. The scabbard did not want to be changed yet, because it was inlaid with gold plates and precious stones.

Sun didn't want to leave after sending the clothes, and tried his best to find some trivial things to say, but Xue Chongxun had no interest in those housework trivialities, so he could only deal with a few words of "um" and "ah". Only then did he remember, why should his mother-in-law do such a thing as giving clothes? She just wanted to meet, thinking of this, Xue Chongxun glanced at her face quietly, and didn't say much.

After a while, Sun didn't have anything else to say, and Xue Chongxun didn't say much, so she had to get up and say, "Then I'll go back first." ”

Unexpectedly, at this time, Xue Chongxun said in a very casual tone: "Let's have dinner together." ”

"Hmm...... It's good. Sun's face didn't see any change in expression, but Xue Chongxun clearly felt her joy.

As usual, Xue Chongxun woke up in the morning, lay down for a while, then lifted the quilt and sat up, and vaguely saw a figure outside the curtain, it should be Pei Niang, so he asked, "Has the rain stopped?" ”

There was silence for a moment outside, and a voice said softly: "It's stopped, and it's a little foggy." ”

"Oh......" Xue Chongxun felt a little lost in his heart, but said, "It's good that the weather is fine, I'm going to Daming Palace today, so I don't have to bring an umbrella...... You're not Pei Niang? ”

In the morning, he was a little dazed, and then Xue Chongxun realized that the person who answered was an unfamiliar voice, so he opened the curtain and took a look.

He was a little surprised at first glance, a tall beautiful girl was standing in front of her, with a long skirt and a graceful figure, plump breasts, a beautiful face, and cloud-like sideburns, she lowered her head, a shy and cramped face.

The woman lowered her head and said softly: "I'm Yao Wan, do you remember Lang Jun?" ”

"Yes, but you didn't recognize it when you changed your clothes." Xue Chongxun said with a smile.

Yao Wan said: "Xue Lang's ...... I washed the clothes last night, dried them and sent them in. ”

"What Geyi?" Xue Chongxun asked casually.

"Yesterday in the prison of the Criminal Department, my sleeves were torn, and Xue Lang ......" Yao Wan's face flushed.

"Oh, I remember." Xue Chongxun nodded, "Why are you in my room?" ”

Yao Wan said: "The housekeeper arranged for me, let me come to serve Lang Jun early in the morning." ”

Xue Chongxun said in his heart: Most of it is because of his own clothes, the clothes he wore were on a woman, and the housekeeper Xue Liu should arrange this woman, so he naturally understood it. G
