Chapter 30: The Assassin Comes Again
As soon as Bai Chu woke up, Murong Jiuqing withdrew his hand, and he also had a long memory after being bitten so many times.
Bai Churuo glanced at him and got up and dressed, although she was still a little crazy about Murong Jiuqing like this, she was a little used to it, maybe he just read too much in the book, and there was no malice.
Bai Churuo went to the kitchen to make breakfast, and Murong Jiuqing ran out and followed her like a greedy cat.
According to the usual practice, let Murong Jiu rest for an hour after eating and start soaking in wine and bloodletting, and when all this is done, it is already noon, and he will start cooking again!
Bai Chu felt that it was not possible to go on like this, she had to find some trustworthy servants to take care of their living and life, including cooking, and compared with the number of families in the Bai Mansion yesterday, there were too few families in the palace, you must know that this is the palace!
Bai Churuo asked, "Peony, do you know how much silver it takes to buy a slave and ask a housekeeper to come?" ”
"This price is not necessarily, the lowest is naturally cheap, and the good trained maids are very expensive, and the housekeepers are the same." Peony said.
"Of course I want something better." Bai Churuo said.
"Like our palace, ordinary family members are third-class family members who have two taels of silver a month, how can a first-class family member get ten taels of silver, and the housekeeper is a better twenty taels, but there are not many of them." Peony said.
Bai Churuo pinched her fingers and calculated, if she wanted to find a better housekeeper and housekeeper, it would cost a lot of silver, and she felt a pain in her heart, but she couldn't find it.
Bai Churuo pondered for a moment and said, "Go and find it, I want a housekeeper, and then ten more housekeepers." ”
"Miss, do we need so many people?" Peony was surprised.
"Yes, I want to reorganize the palace, there are some family members I don't want anymore." Bai Churuo still wants to add some maids, because it is too tiring to rely on Xiaolan and Peony to be in charge of everything.
"But it costs a lot of money." Peony is distressed for Bai Churuo, you must know that because of the relationship between Lao Liu, the former housekeeper of the palace, the palace has already owed a large amount of silver on credit, and it will take a long time to pay it back.
"It's okay, the money is for spending, and I'll find a way to earn it back." Bai Churuo already had various plans to make money in his heart.
"Okay, the slave will go find some reliable ones to come to the palace." Peony said.
As soon as the words fell, Peony went to the slavery hall to select a large number of servants, and a notice was posted outside the gate of the palace to recruit servants, and soon the outer courtyard of the palace was overcrowded.
Bai Churuo didn't expect so many people to apply, so he planned to screen it well.
Bai Churuo set up a shed at the gate of the outer courtyard and put up a curtain, she dressed neatly, put on a scarf, covered her head to the soles of her feet, and entered the shed.
Even Peony and Xiaolan, the two close-fitting maids, are dressed like this.
The family of the royal palace asked those who applied to line up and called them over one by one.
The question was asked by Peony, and Peony asked, "What are your characteristics?" Have you ever worked as a housekeeper before? ”
The first, a dark-skinned young man who looked like he was a regular farmer, said, "No! The villain is willing to do any groceries, and the villain is not afraid of tiredness or hardship! There are young and old families who need to feed ......"
If Bai Chu felt that he could, he asked him to go to the servants who specially recorded the family to record the family information in detail and stand by.
"Next." The royal family shouted.
Peony continued to ask questions.
Bai Churuo read them one by one, and waited until the evening to give up.
If Bai Chu returned to the palace to cook, Murong Jiuqing would eat happily.
At night, Bai Churuo was really bored and didn't want to go to bed too early so she took a book to read, this ancient life has no mobile phone and no network, even though she is used to it, she is still idle and panicked, only reading books to pass the time.
Bai Churuo read almost all the novels in the bookstore, and began to read medical books, she suddenly found that these medical books are very interesting, some of them have a lot of loopholes and incomplete records, and some of them are unknown to her, you must know that modern Chinese medicine has been seriously damaged because of cultural faults, and the medical books here can be read as much as you want, and you can be as detailed as you want.
Murong Jiuqing and the others went to sleep impatiently.
Bai Churuo saw the middle of the night unconsciously, and she yawned sleepily only to realize that it was not too early.
Bai Churuo went out to the thatched house, but found that the servant who was keeping vigil had fainted at the door of the small courtyard.
Bai Churuo was startled, and went to Peony and Xiaolan's room first, and when she found that they were still there, she wanted to wake them up, but these two people couldn't wake them up no matter how she did.
"What's going on?" Bai Churuo sensed that something was wrong, turned her head and went out of the courtyard again, she shouted, "Black Wind!? A blood moon? ”
No one answered, Bai Churuo was a little panicked and wanted to go back to the house, but several black shadows flashed and surrounded her, and several black shadows flew into the bedroom.
"Who are you? Who sent you? Bai Churuo asked in a panic.
"Naturally, the people who came to ask for your life!" The black shadow who took the lead said coldly.
Bai Churuo's palm touched the silver needle bag on the back of his waist, and said nervously, "I have no grievances with you, why did you kill me?" Isn't there anything you can't say well? ”
The black shadow sneered, "You woman is interesting, ordinary women have long been frightened when they saw us, you still dare to negotiate terms with us?" But I'm sorry, we're here tonight to complete our mission, and we're going to take your life! ”
Bai Churuo pursed his lips and didn't plan to give up.
The dark shadow in the house ran out again, "Boss, Murong Jiuqing is not here." ”
Bai Churuo was a little surprised, wasn't Murong Jiuqing still in the bedroom just now? How could it not be?
The man who was called the boss of the man in black raised his sword and pointed it at Bai Churuo and asked, "Say!" Where did you hide him? ”
"I don't know." Bai Churuo said.
"It's okay if you don't say it, just die." After the boss finished speaking, he stabbed him with a sword.
Suddenly, the palace launched hidden weapons from all over the palace, attacking the group of black-clothed people.
The man in black jumped out of the way, dodging the attack.
"I just went to a thatched house, and you took advantage of it." Black Wind with a one-eyed patch rushed in with a crossbow.
Another figure rushed in and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, princess, it's all because this kid scared you so much." ”
"Where's the prince?" Bai Churuo was very worried about Murong Jiuqing.
"I'm knocked out and put in a safe place." Blood Moon said immediately.
"......" Bai Churuo was surprised, but he quickly felt that this was the simplest, roughest and safest way, "Hmm." ”
"You're worried about him?" Blood Moon asked in a low voice.
"yes." Bai Churuo said lightly, isn't this nonsense? How is he also her husband, she doesn't worry about him who worries about him??
The group of assassins in black were impatient, and the boss asked a little unangrily, "Can you talk less nonsense!?" Can we be respectful? ”
