The two men walked around the shadow wall and walked inside, and saw all the maids standing in the courtyard, and one of the little maids standing in the middle of the courtyard.
The expression on Lin Guyu's face paused slightly, and he glanced at the few maids around him, and his eyes fell on the little maid kneeling on the ground, his brows tightened.
When Xiaoxue saw Lin Guyu coming in, the cursing on her lips stopped, and she hurriedly walked in front of Lin Guyu, and was about to salute Lin Guyu with a big belly.
Lin Guyu hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Xiaoxue, and said with a worried face, "Your belly is so big, don't salute." โ
Xiaowei stood silently next to the group of maids, secretly watching Lin Guyu and Xiaoxue.
"Madam, why don't you say anything when you come back?" The expression on Xiao Xue's face softened a little, and she pursed her lips slightly and looked at Lin Guyu with a smile.
"You are pregnant, you can't move the fetus," Lin Guyu said with a serious face, and Xiaoxue's cursing voice just now was a little heard, "What if you get angry?" โ
As he spoke, Lin Guyu stretched out his hand to help Xiaoxue and walked inside, walked to the stone bench, and watched her sit down, and then sat on the stone bench on the side.
Lin Guyu's eyes fell on Xiaomei, who was kneeling on the ground, and then looked at Xiaoxue, and asked with a puzzled expression, "But what happened?" โ
"Madam, this little girl is a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised!" As soon as Xiaoxue mentioned Xiaomei, she couldn't help but get angry, and said angrily, "She still wanted to climb into the master's bed, but fortunately she was discovered by the secret guard and kicked out directly." โ
Little Messer knelt on the spot tremblingly, looked at Lin Guyu pitifully, and kowtowed vigorously to Lin Guyu, "Madam, the slave knows that it is wrong, and the slave and maid really know that it is wrong." โ
"Madam, such a slave and maid will be sent directly to the Qing Building." Xiaoxue's eyes were a little fierce, and her voice was indifferent, "Such an ungrateful slave is disgusting, not to mention the side, he can't do his own job, and he thinks about something else in his head all day long, and he can't really prevent it!" โ
Lin Guyu's eyes swept over the bodies of the surrounding maids, and then looked at Xiaoxue, and understood why Xiaoxue called all the maids over today.
All the maids stood aside and didn't dare to say a word, and they all lowered their heads vigorously, for fear that Lin Guyu would notice them.
"Just do as you say." Lin Guyu said lightly, his eyes fell on Xiaomei's body, and his brows furrowed slightly, "I never ask my servants to be grateful to me, we are just a master-servant relationship, if you do well, I will definitely reward you, if you do badly, I never want it." โ
"Butler." Lin Guyu said, looking at Xiaomei's loveless face, and said lightly, "Go and send Xiaomei to pick up guests, let Qinglou's mother take good care of her, and find a few more people for her every day." โ
The blood on the faces of all the maids gradually disappeared, and their heads lowered even more.
Xiao Meidi scolded angrily in her mouth, and the scolding turned into a pleading, but Lin Guyu and Xiaoxue didn't seem to hear it at all.
Xiaoxue watched Xiaomei being sent away, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with some guilt, "Madam, it's not good to be a slave, if the slave is not pregnant, she can also take care of these little maids below, and they want to be crooked one by one." โ
"The child is the most important, don't be angry, this angry child is easily affected." Lin Guyu looked at Xiaoxue with a smile on his face, and said calmly, "You came here, does Zhang Jiu know?" โ
Xiaoxue lowered her head and shook her head vigorously, "The master didn't know how to take care of the affairs of the inner house, so he asked people to call me, I was afraid that Zhang Jiu would worry about me, so I didn't say anything." โ
Hearing Xiaoxue say this, Lin Guyu sighed a little helplessly, knowing that Zhang Jiu didn't know, Zhang Jiu looked at the child in Xiaoxue's stomach very closely.
"You're all going to disperse." Lin Guyu's eyes swept over the maids' bodies, and said lightly, "You are not needed here." โ
Hearing Lin Guyu say this, all the maids breathed a sigh of relief, and they walked away after a while.
"Madam, you should give me a few maids first, so that I can train them well, and they won't be so unruly." Xiaoxue felt a little afraid, if the little maid succeeded, the lady and the master might have to quarrel, and according to the lady's temperament, maybe she would have to run away from home.
"Now I think it's quite convenient for the secret guard, and I can also help catch the junior." Lin Guyu looked at Xiaoxue with a smile, originally she felt that it was too troublesome to have a secret guard by her side, and they were not a big family, so why did they need such trouble?
"That's what you'll think, madam." Xiaoxue said with a smile, "This secret guard is to protect people, and they don't specialize in that kind of thing. โ
Lin Guyu originally thought that those maids would want to be big maids one by one when they saw Xiaoxue living with Xiaohuadi, but they never expected that there would be those who wanted to climb onto the Chi Hang's bed.
Sure enough, people are greedy and insufficient.
Lin Guyu thought so, and couldn't help sighing, "You said that those people are so dignified that they don't want to be wives, and they have to be concubines for others, but they are really ......."
"Madam, if they accompany you all the way like me and Xiaohua, they know the benefits of being wives, they only think about the glory and wealth in front of them, and they are not willing to work hard.
After hearing Xiaoxue say this, Lin Guyu nodded approvingly.
Chi Hang and Lin Guyu hadn't seen each other for more than ten days, and they returned to the room early in the evening, and after a lot of clouds and rain, the two of them stopped contentedly.
Chi Hang leaned in front of Lin Guyu slightly, stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Lin Guyu's waist, and stroked Lin Guyu's hair for a while, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a faint smile.
"Xiaomei was sold to Qingluo." Lin Guyu's voice was hoarse with exhaustion, and he raised his eyes to look at Chi Hang, "If you encounter such a thing in the future, just send someone over." โ
As he spoke, he rubbed Chi Hang's chest slightly, like a cat that had been lazy.
"Okay." Chi Hang was a little sleepy, and said in a low voice, "It is estimated that there will be no such uninteresting maids in the house in the future." โ
The corners of Lin Guyu's mouth were slightly hooked, his physical exhaustion, and even his mental fatigue began to get tired, and he closed his eyes in a daze.
Early the next morning, not long after Lin Guyu got up, he heard that Xiaomei hit the wall and died in the Qing Building, and the maid in the house trembled for a while.
Lin Guyu didn't bother to ask about those things anymore, and went directly to the courtyard of Rice Cake and Dong'er to see how the two people were doing with their etiquette.
Desert to the west.
Xu Feng stood in front of the rickety window, listening to the whirring wind, his brows furrowed.
Xu Shuqing stood quietly aside, his gaze gently fell on the back of Xu Feng's head, and when he saw that he was about to turn back, he hurriedly looked away.
"It's a bad day." Xu Feng said with some melancholy.
They still have a batch of goods in their hands, and they will leave here when this batch of goods is sold, but there is no way to trade with people in this wind and sand.
Xu Shuqing raised his eyes to look at Xu Feng, his gaze was as calm as water, "Why don't we sell things cheaply to the merchants in the store and go back with special products as soon as possible?" โ
Since Xu Feng first pulled those tributes over to sell, he found a business opportunity, they pulled the goods from the west back, just to exchange for more money, or to bring back a batch of special products, and when they arrived in the capital, they could sell them and make a lot of money.
This time, I mainly came to buy corn seeds, but no one seems to have them here.
"Nope." Xu Feng estimated that those goods could make a lot of money, and if they were sold cheaply, they would definitely not make so much money next time they came here.
This price cannot be said casually, the price must be controlled.
But this time they were trapped by the wind and sand for three or four days.
"Knock knock!"
There was a knock on the door outside.
Xu Shuqing glanced at it coldly, turned around and walked towards the door, "Who?" โ
"Guest officer, the small one is here to deliver food." The voice of the shopkeeper came from outside.
Hearing this voice, Xu Shuqing breathed a sigh of relief, and then opened the door bolt, and his eyes rolled on the face of the shopkeeper, "Come in!" โ
The shopkeeper silently withdrew his gaze, and every time he looked at Xu Shuqing, he always felt frightened.
Put the food on the table, the shopkeeper didn't need Xu Shuqing to speak, turned around and went out directly.
"Master Feng, it's time to eat." Xu Shuqing said, hurriedly fetched a basin of water, and stood quietly aside.
Xu Feng walked in front of Xu Shuqing and sighed, "Just call me big brother." โ
Xu Shuqing bowed her head and said nothing, if she is called eldest brother, they are brother and sister, how can she be with Xu Feng in the future?
Waiting for Xu Feng to finish washing his hands, Xu Shuqing poured the water and scooped up a basin of water again, washed his hands before walking towards the table.
The two of them were eating quietly, no one spoke, and while they were eating, Xu Feng's face changed.
Xu Shuqing was originally a secret guard, and when he sensed the danger, he picked up the long sword on the table next to him.
"Come out." Xu Feng's faint opening and his eyes swept around.
"What are you doing so fiercely!" The window opened from the outside, and a man in black jumped in, bringing in a bit of dust.
Xu Shuqing's brows twisted slightly, seeing that all the food was covered with sand and dust, his face changed, and his hand couldn't help but clench the long sword in his hand.
Wei Tianhao followed Xu Shuqing's line of sight, touched the back of his head a little uncomfortably, pursed his lips, and explained in a panic, "That, I didn't mean to, I came to you just when I came back." โ
Wei Tianhao is a foreigner, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, three-dimensional facial features, and slightly thick lips one by one, looking at Xu Shuqing very innocently.
Since the first time he saw Xu Shuqing, Wei Tianhao felt that this woman was the woman he was looking for, spicy and flavorful.
What is that kind of delicate woman going to do, she can't go to bed a few times, Wei Tianhao looked at Xu Shuqing's face with a pair of Danfeng eyes, "Shuqing, you have to believe me, I definitely didn't mean it, otherwise, I'll go and ask for a table of food again, let's eat together?" โ
Xu Feng looked at Wei Tianhao's doglegs, frowned slightly, and sat on the chair disdainfully.
Wei Tianhao ran to Xu Shuqing's face and said with a smile, "Shuqing, we haven't seen each other for two hours a day, don't you miss me?" โ
