Chapter 131: Creation Makes People
As soon as Zhilan and Zhan Shaofeng returned home, they saw Qi Xuan's personal maid Xiaoyu waiting in the door of the Lotus Garden, and when they saw them coming in, they greeted them with a smile and said, "The young grandmother has just the right time, and the slave maid has just come here, and you two will come back." β
"Sister Xuan, is there something wrong?" Zhilan asked as she walked inside.
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Isn't there something wrong?" The young grandmother is planning to buy a few new girls, and she is picking someone at this time, and she can't make up her mind, so she wants to ask Miss to help me take a look. β
What she said reminded Zhilan of one thing, so she asked with a smile: "That's right, you and Xiao Tao are about to get married, and there is no one around Sister Xuan, don't you have to pick two more girls." β
Xiao Yu's face turned red when she said a word, and she lowered her head and muttered, "It's not that we are in a hurry to get married...... It's really a young grandmother urging ......"
Zhilan smiled and patted her and said, "What's so embarrassing about this, the man should marry the woman and the woman should get married, and your young grandmother is also for your good, I'm afraid of delaying the good time......" Zhilan was talking, but found that Zhan Shaofeng was looking at her, her two sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and her eyes were even more meaningful, and she suddenly stopped talking. Ahem, think about yourself before talking about others.
"Miss......" Xiaoyu didn't expect so much, but she was more and more ashamed to raise her head. I saw her stretch out her arm and nudge Zhilan in disgust and said, "Miss, let's go, the young grandmother is waiting......"
So Zhilan turned her head and smiled at Zhan Shaofeng, and went to the Lotus Garden with Xiaoyu, and Huaxin hurriedly followed.
Zhan Shaofeng looked at Zhilan's back and sighed a little helplessly. It's rare to find time to come back to see her, but she was called away by someone else's fluttering words. Can she help with buying a girl? Picking a medicine girl would be of some use.
At this moment, Changgui, who was guarding the door, suddenly came over and said, "Childe, someone is looking for you outside." β
"Looking for me?" Zhan Shaofeng was a little skeptical. In order to make things easier, he also bought a house in the capital. Although I don't often go to live, I deal with people and things and handle affairs over there on weekdays. At this time, who would come to the Lin Mansion to find him? He walked out the door while speculating on the identity of the visitor, and asked casually, "Who is it?"
"It's a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, look at which maid she should be dressed." Changgui said.
Zhan Shaofeng's footsteps suddenly stopped. "A maid?"
Changgui replied: "Yes, that girl only said that she was looking for you, but she didn't say which family she belonged to, so the slave didn't let her in." β
Zhan Shaofeng nodded and said, "Well, it's right." Then he turned around again, and turned back and walked inside.
"Hey, boy-" Changgui shouted anxiously behind him, "Where are you going?" What about that girl outsideβ"
I saw Zhan Shaofeng walking in without looking back, and threw a sentence: "Where did you come from, where do you go back?" β
"Huh?" Changgui frowned and scratched his nose, feeling a little difficult in his heart. What could he say?
Zhilan and Xiaoyu arrived at the Lotus Garden, and as soon as they entered the house, they saw Qi Xuan sitting on a chair, and a middle-aged woman was sitting under her, talking about something with a warm expression. A dozen girls stood in a row in front of them. The room, which was originally large, was a little crowded because there were so many people at once.
Seeing Zhilan come in, Qi Xuan hurriedly beckoned and said, "Lan'er, come and see how these girls are." β
Zhilan smiled: "Where do I understand this, it's just to see the fun." β
Qi Xuan pulled her to sit down beside her, and said, "Of course you don't have to worry about this, although Shen'er Qi'er has already married, you still have a thrush to take care of." But as soon as Xiao Tao Xiaoyu gets married, there is no one around me to use, so I have to quickly find a few suitable ones. Teach some rules before the two of them leave, and it will be convenient to use them in the future. β
"That's right. After picking this half a day, do you have a fancy? Zhilan said as she glanced at the girls in front of them. I saw that the eldest of them was only seventeen or eighteen, and the younger one was only twelve or thirteen, and they all bowed their heads nervously, standing there for others to choose. Zhilan suddenly felt uncomfortable in her heart, and she was a little uncomfortable sitting on the chair.
Qi Xuan didn't notice the change in Zhilan, stretched out her hand and pointed at one of the girls and said, "I think this is good, I know some rules, and it looks pleasing to the eye." β
Zhilan looked in the direction of Qi Xuan's finger, and saw a woman in a half-worn plain silk shirt standing there with her head lowered, only a side face could be seen, but it was a little familiar.
The woman listened to Qi Xuan's words, and hurriedly echoed beside her: "Young grandmother, you are really good eyesight! This is from a large family, and if it weren't for the middle of the family, it wouldn't have been sold. She vigorously touted the woman's origins, just to sell it for a few more prices.
Qi Xuan saw Zhilan staring at the woman in a daze, so she asked, "Lan'er, what do you think?" β
Zhilan hurriedly retracted her gaze and said, "It's good, but it's ...... Even if the family is in the middle of the road, it will not fall to this point, I am afraid that either this woman herself caused trouble and was sold, or something happened to the family. As she spoke, she turned to look at the middle-aged woman, and suddenly asked, "Aren't you going to get some guilty person's family here?" β
The woman waved her hand again and again and said, "How dare we......" but her face showed a bit of weakness.
Qi Xuan also saw some clues from the woman's expression, so she slapped heavily on the chair, and her voice became sharp: "Shen Sanniang, if it weren't for you pitying me to give you this business, I wouldn't have thought that you would dare to fool me!" β
The woman originally saw that Qi Xuan was young, so she planned to sell her a few sin slaves that she had bought at a cheap price, so as to make more money from it, but she didn't want to see the true color of this young grandmother at this time, so she was a little flustered, and said in her mouth: "No...... There is absolutely no ......," but her breath was clearly out of the question.
Zhilan saw that she had successfully stirred up this business, so she pulled Qi Xuan again and said, "Sister Xuan, don't be angry, don't be serious with this kind of person." I know that Fu Niang has a cousin and niece who is also engaged in this business, and she is quite kind. It's better to ask her to bring a few innocent and clean girls over, and it's always more reassuring to use her own people. β
"Hmm." Qi Xuan still stared at the woman, with a look of unrelenting.
Zhilan glanced at Xiaoyu, and Xiaoyu understood, so she immediately led the woman and the girls out together. Before leaving the door, the plain woman looked back. Although there was no expression on her face, there was a resentment and hatred in her eyes. Qi Xuan, who was talking to Zhilan about this, had no intention of glancing over here, and just bumped into her complicated gaze, and was stunned for a moment, feeling a little inexplicable.
Zhilan also saw this scene, but suddenly got up and said, "Oh, I almost forgot, today, Master Miaozhen asked me to find a prescription, and I have to go back to find it and send someone over quickly." Sister Xuan, I'll go first, and when I go back, I'll ask Fu Niang to call her cousin and niece. β
Before Qi Xuan could recover from the woman's strange gaze, she casually responded, "Oh, okay." β
As soon as she left the door of the Lotus Garden, Zhilan whispered to the painting: "Do you still recognize the woman just now?" Follow them. When he was far away, he gave the man a little money and brought the woman out. Then give her a sum of money to send her back to her hometown. With that, he gave Huaxin a money bag.
"Yes." Huaxin took the money bag and left.
Zhilan stood in place and looked at their backs from afar, feeling in her heart that creation made people. The plain-clothed woman, she recognized it at a glance, it was Xiao'e. The last time they met was in Huayan Temple three years ago, when she was still Liu Muzhi's woman, living a life of fine clothes and food, which was very different from her current situation. Zhilan knew very well in her heart that it was Zhan Shaofeng's design that caused Liu Muzhi's house to be raided, which would cause that Xiao'e to fall here. Although Zhilan still sympathizes with that Xiao'e, it is absolutely impossible to let her stay in the Lin family, especially not by Qi Xuan's side. It's better to give her a sum of money to let her return to her hometown, which can be regarded as a preservation for her.
At this time, a sedan chair was parked at the corner of the street outside, and the woman in the sedan chair seemed to be waiting for someone, and kept lifting the curtain to look out. Not far away, a maid was talking to the doorkeeper in front of the Lin Mansion, and finally walked back to the sedan chair with her head down.
"How? Did you talk to him? The woman asked anxiously poking her head out of the sedan chair.
"Miss Hui's words, the slave maid didn't see Zhan Gongzi at all......"
"Impossible! Didn't we see him and the ...... with our own eyes? Who went in with that? When the woman said "who is that", she gritted her teeth as if she had a deep hatred.
The maid seemed to be a little embarrassed and said, "They won't let me see ...... And said, and said......"
"What did you say, grinding and chirping!"
"And where did we come from, and where are we going back?"
The woman's pretty face turned red all of a sudden, and she was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time.
The maid said with a worried face, "Miss, let's go back quickly." It's been out for so long, and if you don't go back, you'll really be a goof. β
"I'm not going back! I won't go back if I don't see him! The woman said angrily.
"Miss, it's not that the slave is too talkative, you are a smart person on weekdays, why are you confused now?" As she spoke, the maid lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and went in, only to hear her continue: "You don't have to come to see him alone. Didn't he always live in the Lin Mansion? Our Han family and the Lin family are still in-laws, isn't it common to come over and hang out. When the time comes, you will be generous enough to meet each other, and you don't have to avoid people......"
"Oops! Why didn't I think of such a good idea! Han Qin'er slapped her face and laughed, "Let's go, go home!" I'll let my grandmother take me to Lin's house to visit relatives! β
