"Our young master has always been low-key, how about it, beauty, do you want to go back and be our young master's concubine?" A servant looked at Qin Yao's pretty face, thinking that if he brought Qin Yao back, the young master would definitely praise him.

Qin Yao sneered: "Be your young master's concubine? Xiang Ruiyuan carried a sedan chair to marry me, I won't marry him, don't put gold on my face, you guys are sloppy, let go of this girl for me, and I'll do it for the provincial lady. ”

A servant's face instantly turned ugly: "I tell you, don't be ignorant." ”

Qin Yao was too lazy to say much to these two people, and smiled at Bai Zijin: "Zijin, borrow your family's Yiren for use." ”

Bai Zijin bowed his head slightly, and the Yiren immediately rushed over, directly knocking the two subordinates to the ground, and screaming again and again.

"You, you wait for me! My young master won't let you go! A subordinate got up in embarrassment and left cruel words.

Qin Yao stepped in and sneered at the backs of the two: "Okay, go back and tell Xiang Ruiyuan that my aunt is called Qin Yao and let him come to me in person to settle accounts." ”

The woman on the ground was crying in a low voice, with tears on her face, she had just been thrown to the ground, and she must have fallen in pain.

Next to her, her parents were helping her up, and the three of them walked up to Qin Yao and wept gratefully: "Thank you, Miss, thank you Miss for saving me, if it weren't for Miss's help, my daughter would have to be snatched away." ”

The mother of them actually wanted to kneel, but fortunately Qin Yao hurriedly supported her: "You don't need to make this big gift, everyone should do it when they see injustice and draw a knife to help." ”

Qin Yao and Bai Zijin really saw this woman's face clearly, she was indeed pretty, and she was wearing simple clothes on her body, adding a touch of simplicity and cuteness.

The most important thing is that she looks a little similar to Bai Tianqing!

Qin Yao and Bai Zijin are happy, no wonder Xiang Ruiyuan will rob the people's daughter, the feeling is that Bai Tianqing is dead, and he wants to find a stand-in to vent his feelings.

"Two young ladies, we are my own family, there is nothing to thank the two of you, if the young lady does not dislike these things, you can take what you like." The middle-aged man pointed to the stall next to him that had just been cleaned up, with some wood carvings and some small things.

However, because of the robbery just now, half of it has been broken, and now there are only a few left on the stall.

Qin Yao hurriedly waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need it: "No, no, no, you guys have a hard life, I just drove those two away, how can I take it." ”

Bai Zijin's pink lips were lightly hooked, and her smile was bright, but she picked up one or two to look at, and finally accepted the two small wood carvings.

"It's good, this is our reward for saving you, we don't owe each other, and we are gone." Bai Zijin smiled faintly at the three of them, and pulled Qin Yao to leave.

Qin Yao was stunned, how could Zijin want their things, this is not like Zijin's style.

The middle-aged man was also stunned, as if he didn't expect Bai Zijin to really take a fancy to their things, and said such a thing.

When he came back to his senses, Bai Zijin and the others were already about to walk into the crowd, and the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and knelt directly on the ground: "Two young ladies, please wait." ”

Qin Yao turned around, Bai Zijin sighed secretly, he was still walking too slowly.

"Why are you kneeling down again, hurry up." Qin Yao wanted to help people up, why did she like to kneel down at every turn.

The middle-aged man dodged Qin Yao's hand to help her, and kowtowed to the ground fiercely, startling Qin Yao.

"Two young ladies, I know that the two young ladies are extraordinary, thank you for your rescue, but in a few days they will still come over to rob the little girl, I will kowtow to the two young ladies here, can the two young ladies take the little girl with them, and be a rough maid." The middle-aged man pleaded.

"This ......" Qin Yao looked at Bai Zijin hesitantly, she saved this person to save her, but she didn't think of taking her with her.

It's not because I can't afford it, but because I have a maid like Bai Tianqing, it's weird whatever I think.

Bai Zijin smiled helplessly: "Don't look at me, do you think I can take her back?" ”

Not to mention that there is no shortage of people in Shayayuan, just this face, she is a little estranged.

"What then?" Qin Yao stuck out her tongue, people had already knelt down and begged them, didn't they care, this seemed a little unkind.

Bai Zijin thought about it and looked at the middle-aged man on the ground, and the middle-aged man immediately kowtowed when he saw them looking at him.

"Please, two young ladies, please."

Bai Zijin's head was big for a while: "Don't knock first, get up quickly...... If you knock again, we won't care. ”

When the middle-aged man heard the two words, he hurriedly stopped: "I won't knock anymore, please two of you, help us, we are willing to pay any price." ”

The woman kept crying beside her, crying with tears on her face, and her mother was also crying beside her, so it was not desolate.

They are right, Qin Yao saved them today, and in a few days, the next person will still come and snatch them, treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

But when they brought it back, it was very uncomfortable to look at such a face.

"That's it, this year, the palace just recruited palace maids, you enter the palace to be a palace maid, and when you get to the palace, Xiang Ruiyuan doesn't dare to be presumptuous...... How old are you? Qin Yao thought about it, and sent her into the palace, and she was released to marry at the age of twenty-five, just right.

The woman wiped away her tears, bowed and replied, "Miss Hui, the little girl is sixteen years old this year. ”

At the age of sixteen, she just reached the standard of entering the palace as a palace maid.

"Okay, then it's decided, but when the palace maid is twenty-five years old, you don't have an opinion, right?" Qin Yao asked the three of them.

The middle-aged man and woman immediately shook their heads: "No, I can only ensure that the little girl is not robbed, no matter how old she is, and it is the glory of the little girl to be able to enter the palace to serve the nobles." ”

Qin Yao nodded with satisfaction, and wrote a note, asking the woman to take it to the palace official who audited the palace maid at that time, and guaranteed that she would definitely enter the palace.

The three of them were grateful: "Thank you, Miss, thank you two nobles." ”

Qin Yao waved his hand: "It's a trivial matter, don't be polite." ”

With the gratitude of the family, Qin Yao continued to hang out with Bai Zijin, Qin Yao bought a lot of things, remembered what happened just now, and muttered: "Zijin, it's not that I belittle them, I just think it's strange, although Xiang Ruiyuan is not a thing, but he is indeed a little marquis, how can anyone not want to be her concubine and choose to be a palace maid." ”

And this woman looks similar to Bai Qianqing, although she doesn't say that she will be favored for a long time after entering the mansion, at least it will not be bad, and there will be no shortage of brocade clothes and jade food.

Although those two subordinates are bastards, they are right, this woman is still a concubine.

Bai Zijin shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Maybe someone has a sweetheart, and your father didn't marry an aunt, you don't know how sad your aunt can sometimes be." ”

Those aunts in Baifu, since Bai Yuanjin's death, have been killed to death, and those who have been sold have been miserable.

Even when Bai Yuanjin was not dead, those unfavored concubines were worse than their subordinates, where were people outside who said that they were so well-dressed and well-fed.

The scenery is for outsiders to see, and the bitterness is for oneself to swallow.

"That's right, I thought wrong, but I hope that one day in the future, women can be equal to men, can enter the court as officials, and are no longer vassals." Qin Yao's eyes radiated a light of hope, but after a while, it was annihilated.

Although there are female officials in the palace, they are only in charge of the harem, and they are a choice of last resort, and there are no female officials in the real sense.

I don't know when this day will come, or maybe it will never come.

Seeing her lost appearance, Bai Zijin smiled slightly, his eyes drifted away, as if he was reminiscing, and affirmed: "Yes, this day will definitely come!" There will come a time when the status of women will not be lower than that of men, and women will also be able to enter the court as officials, and masculinism will definitely be overwhelmed. ”

Seeing her affirmative appearance, Qin Yao couldn't help but show a yearning smile, and her pretty eyes were shining: "In this way, Jiaojiao will be able to enter the court as an official, and she can also go to the battlefield to fight." ”

Bai Zijin smiled slightly, yes, Jiaojiao has always been an ambitious woman, she hopes to pick up her father's war spear to continue to defend the enemy and defend the frontier, but she is a daughter, and finally established Wanxuan Commercial Bank.

Shen Jiao is a legendary woman.

"Yes, it will come."

Such an era will definitely come, the giant wheel of history will turn, and it is only a matter of time before men and women are equal.

"I really hope that in my lifetime I can see that women are no longer despised and despised." Qin Yao said, "Zijin, do you know that Jiaojiao once disguised herself as a man and secretly went to the battlefield. ”

Bai Zijin was curious, she had never heard of this: "Really? ”

"Of course it's true, at that time her parents had just died, she went to the battlefield without telling us all, and when we thought she was missing, she stayed in the frontier for half a year, but then I don't know what happened, she suddenly returned to the imperial capital and started to found Wanxuan Trading House, I asked her, but she refused to say anything."

Qin Yao talked about this past, admiring and admiring at the same time, she was also a little depressed: "Zijin, let me tell you, when Jiaojiao came back, she still had injuries on her body, very serious injuries, and she had been recuperating for half a year." ”

But there was no war at all in those six months, and she didn't know where Shen Jiao's injuries came from, and she didn't get any answer when she asked.

So Qin Yao was very depressed, but she was cheerful by nature, and she didn't take this matter to heart after time passed, so she only brought it up again today.

"Jiaojiao is so powerful."

Bai Zijin didn't expect that Shen Jiao still had such a heroic past, presumably she wanted to avenge her parents at that time, but the war was over when she rushed away.

It's just that what happened in the next six months is unknown.

Bai Zijin also admired: "Jiaojiao is really a strange woman, but she doesn't want to talk about this matter, so forget it." ”

Everyone has some past stories that they don't want to tell, so why bother to get to the bottom of it and touch on the scars.

"That's what I thought too." Qin Yao nodded, suddenly remembered something, and his face was serious, "By the way, Zijin, my father said that Xiao An and they are probably not in the imperial capital." ”
