Xia was killed, and the next morning he led eight young 'women' in colorful clothes to Moxiang Courtyard.

Zhuo Zhaojie put aside the things in his hand for the time being, passed people to him, and took a look, these eight people are all fourteen or fifteen years old, and they are indeed quite colorful. Because of the long-term practice of dance, the body is well-proportioned and slender, the eyebrows and eyes are smart, and it is really not bad to look at.

She looked at it and asked a few words - the Xia family is very good at training these domestic tricks, and the level of the house tricks of the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion has also been somewhat famous in Chang'an in the past two years, and even the eldest princess of Jiyang is very satisfied with several performances, so there are many people who come to ask for it, and the personnel are naturally changed frequently.

Zhuo Zhaojie is not every batch of housekeepers have to live in person, now there are several of them here who look at her, the first time she has seen the 'female' master since entering the mansion, and it is such a 'glamorous' and 'female' master, there are two young 'females' who are nervous, and they also seem timid when they reply. Fortunately, this timidity and nervousness are not annoying, but there is a different kind of Chu Chu moving style.

Even Zhuo Zhaojie felt that this was also a kind of Chu Chu moving, so such shyness was not a big problem. Zhuo Zhaojie thought that Xia's eyesight was still trustworthy, so he nodded with satisfaction and said, "When Xia Niangzi called you here, I expected to tell you, this time the prince received an edict to go to Dongyi Mountain to recruit Zhong Chongsheng, and I have to bring some people to serve on the way." ”

Everyone responded to a word, and their faces were a little stupid, no wonder, although whether they were in Chang'an or going to the Western Regions, they were all slaves and maids, but Chang'an was rich, and the Hou Mansion was also raised with brocade clothes and 'jade' food, and the Hou Mansion was only a few times a year because of the small number of people, and the feast was only a few times a year, although the Xia family was usually quite strict in training, but the days were more comfortable than running all the way to the Western Regions.

And these people also know that letting them go to the Western Regions with the Marquis of Yongcheng is not just to serve the Marquis of Yongcheng, who knows who will be given to them along the way? If you meet a bad-tempered guest, it is not impossible to be beaten to death and vent your anger.

It's just that in front of Zhuo Zhaojie, they don't dare to say a word, after all, although Zhuo Zhaojie's reputation is not too harsh, but it is still far from being virtuous and virtuous.

And although Zhuo Zhaojie saw their unwilling mood, he didn't take it seriously, and these people couldn't jump off the palms of their hands. told them a few words to serve the Marquis of Yongcheng, because the Marquis of Yongcheng will be on a business trip, and it is really not good to bring a group of Maiko, and the external statement is of course the handmaiden who serves with him, and the housekeeper is originally to learn all kinds of work to serve people, and it is more than enough for these individuals to bear the messenger of the "woman".

After beating the housekeepers, they must not give them some benefits, such as if they are given away on the road, they will be rewarded with a Cheng Yi, and this Qian Zhuo Zhaojie will tell the people around the Marquis of Yongcheng; If you come back, there will be a reward at that time, and even those who are attentive can be married in advance......

After solving the matter of the housekeeper, Zhuo Zhaojie was continuing to pick up the account book to read, but a childish voice sounded in the corridor outside, saying, "Mother! Mother! ”

"Kuanglang?" Zhuo Zhaojie heard that it was the eldest son's voice, and couldn't help but be taken aback, hurriedly threw away the account book, stood up, and walked out in three steps and two steps, "But something happened?" ”

She walked outside, but saw that on the corridor on the right, a few zhang away, a little Langjun in brocade clothes shook off the hands of the 'nurse' mother and the handmaid', stood on the corridor and jumped and jumped, and called out to his mother - this little Langjun's eyes looked like Ning Shaobi, his eyelashes were long, and he was extremely attentive, and when he heard the voice of Zhuo Zhaojie, he turned his head to look at it, and saw that Zhuo Zhaojie's heart instantly softened into a puddle of water.

Zhuo Zhaojie walked over quickly and said softly, "What's wrong with Kuanglang?" But who you off? "Looking at the 'nurse' mother and others, there is no tenderness in her eyes, and she is full of strictness!

Two-year-old Ning Yikuang was already a little neat when he spoke, he was picked up by Zhuo Zhaojie, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around his mother's neck, and said aggrievedly: "I want to go to my grandfather's place, but they don't let me." ”

"Kuang Lang is good." Zhuo Zhaojie thought that his subordinates had mistreated this precious eldest son, but he didn't think that he wanted to go to see the Marquis of Yongcheng and lost his temper, so he smiled and comforted, "Your grandfather is going to the Western Regions in a few days, I think this time is very busy, you will inevitably distract your grandfather if you go, if the things are not neatly packed at that time, your grandfather will not have a good time in the Western Regions, think about it...... If you change rooms and live in a different house, you end up with your jade horses, coral bonsai, and glass villains...... If you don't bring all of this, aren't you comfortable living there? ”

Ning Yikuang thought about it seriously, and then he stupidly grabbed the tassel under the hairpin in his mother's hair, and pouted: "Last time, my grandfather told me a story, but in the middle, my father went to take me back to sleep, and I didn't finish listening!" ”

——Like most people, the Marquis of Yongcheng is also a generational relative. Although the Marquis of Yongcheng only has one son, Ning Shaobi, but because of the relationship between Shen Lige and the natural discord between father and son, although the Marquis of Yongcheng did spare no effort to consider his son, he was not used to Ning Shaobi when they got along.

And Ning Shaobi believes that he is an only son, and with the favor of the eldest princess, he has no respect for this father at all, and the relationship between father and son is really not very good.

But the Marquis of Yongcheng is not good to his only son and daughter-in-law, but he is very kind to his grandchildren and grandchildren.

The eldest grandson Ning Yikuang is much more lively than his sister Ning Yihui, although many words are not spoken now, but they are so noisy that even Ning Shaobi and Zhuo Zhaojie are sometimes entangled by him and can't stand it. However, the Marquis of Yongcheng often smiled and listened and said that a hug was half a day and a day, and Ning Yikuang was now more attached to his grandfather than his parents, and he looked forward to the Marquis of Yongcheng going down to court soon after getting up almost every day.

Zhuo Zhaojie stretched out his hand and nodded at the forehead of his eldest son, and said with a smile: "Isn't it just a story?" Send someone to the front for your mother to probe and see if your grandfather is busy, if he is free, he will send you there, okay? ”

"Good!" Ning Yikuang's small mouth pursed high, and when he heard this, he turned his anger into joy, and happily writhed in Zhuo Zhaojie's arms, and shouted, "Mother let me go, I want to go by myself." ”

"Yes, yes, be careful." Zhuo Zhaojie leaned over and put him back in the corridor, and said angrily and with a smile, "Isn't it okay to come over and say goodbye to your mother if you have something?" Why stomp your feet? Carefully stomp your foot hurts! ”

Ning Yikuang pulled the hem of her skirt and shouted, "It doesn't hurt at all, don't worry, mother!" Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered another thing, and said aggrievedly, "I want to go with Erniang, but Erniang wants to go to my great-grandmother - I told her what was so beautiful about those parrots, and she beat me!" ”

"Where was it beaten?" Zhuo Zhaojie heard that the 'female' had beaten his son, he was slightly startled, and hurriedly squatted down to carefully examine Ning Yikuang's little face, although he knew how much strength the 'female' could have at this age, but Ning Yikuang was also small and delicate, how could he not be careful.

Fortunately, he looked at the position where Ning Yikuang pointed over, but there were no scars, Zhuo Zhaojie carefully pressed his finger and said, "Does it hurt?" ”

"It doesn't hurt." Ning Yikuang said aggrievedly, "But Erniang beat me!" ”

"You are a brother, and you are Lang Jun, a good Lang Jun should be more angry, how can you not let your sister as a brother?" Zhuo Zhaojie saw that he was fine, so he comforted, "Let's be a good brother in the future, right?" ”

However, although Ning Yikuang was young, he was not so easy to coax, and insisted: "Erniang beat me, she is not a good sister!" ”

"Then ask Erniang to come over and apologize to you, okay?" Zhuo Zhaojie wanted to coax his son over first, and then reason with the 'daughter', but since his son insisted, he changed his method.

Ning Yihui, who was exactly the same as Ning Yi Kuang, but wore the costume of a little lady, was brought over by the 'nurse' mother, and as soon as he entered the 'door', he threw himself into Zhuo Zhaojie's arms, and said aggrievedly: "Mother, I just slept well, my eldest brother ran over to wake me up, and asked me to go to my grandfather's place together, I told him, I will go to talk to my great-grandmother later!" He's going to mess with me! ”

…… This is justified on both sides, Zhuo Zhaojie felt very helpless, and said the eldest son first: "Kuanglang is not well-behaved, you only said that your sister beat you, why don't you say that you woke up your sister first?" ”

Ning Yikuang raised his head, and there was a good reason: "I kindly asked my sister to go to see my grandfather together!" ”

"Obviously they just won't let me sleep well!" When Ning Yihui heard this, his bright pretty eyes glared, and he took a step forward with his fists and said loudly!

This 'girl' has always been very tame when she was in swaddling clothes, even too tame, so that Zhuo Zhaojie always suspected that she had grown up to be 'sexual'. As a result, after a full week, this little lady is becoming more and more domineering - this is not the first time to do it to her brother!!

Although Zhuo Zhaojie has no partiality or partiality towards the two children, he also feels that the 'daughter' is nothing to be domineering to outsiders, and it is not good to always bully his brother, after all, Ning Yikuang said that he is the elder brother, and Ning Yihui is only behind the front and rear feet, this eldest son is not like a generous person, if he doesn't handle it for them, don't make a good brother and sister make a mistake! Then he frowned and said, "Hui Niang is not allowed to do this!" Your brother is disturbing you by waking you up, but he is also asking if you want to go with your grandfather! Can't you talk well? How can you do it to your brother? ”

Ning Yihui said unconvinced: "Mother, it's the eldest brother who has been pestering me, so I'm impatient!" ”

"You can't do it!" Zhuo Zhaojie slowed down his tone and said, "You are brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters, you should be in harmony with each other!" How can you do it with each other? Isn't this grief for your mother and your father? ”

Ning Yikuang and Ning Yihui are still very attached to their parents, and when they heard that they made their parents sad, their expressions suddenly relaxed, they glanced at each other, and said, "Mother, we won't do this next time." ”

Despite this, Zhuo Zhaojie still felt that the relationship between the two brothers and sisters was still not harmonious enough, and he suddenly had a headache, and was thinking about how to say hello to them, when someone in the courtyard outside greeted Ning Shaobi, but it was Ning Shaobi who came.

She pressed the teaching of her son's 'daughter', and said, "Your father is here......" Seeing that the two brothers and sisters were bright-eyed, they both pulled out their 'legs' and ran out, Ning Yihui because he was wearing a skirt, and even carried the skirt to the little 'leg' regardless of his manners, and said in unison: "Father, father!" What's the fun for us today?! ”

Ning Shaobi loves her sons and daughters very much, since they were born, every time they go out of the 'door', they are not empty-handed, regardless of whether they can play or not, all kinds of 'fine' and ingenious gadgets in the market are almost half of the house. After the two children can talk and walk, he sees what to buy, usually and very fond of them, never say half a word, after a long time, the twins have heard that he is coming back and hug him to ask this and that, this time is no exception.

Waiting for Zhuo Zhaojie to tell him to "slow down" and go out, he saw that the twins had been hugged by Ning Shaobi one by one, Ning Yikuang held a windmill in his hand, and Ning Yihui's now sparse little head was pinned with a silk 'flower', and both of them happily 'touched' the new things - Zhuo Zhaojie said angrily: "You buy new ones every time, and now the two of them are more and more fond of the new and tired of the old, and there are few things in the room that are cherished." ”

"That's nothing, just buy it if you don't like it." Ning Shaobi hugged a pair of 'girls', in a good mood, and said with a smile, "I brought you something today, go into the house and give it to you." ”

When Zhuo Zhaojie heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "This is really rare, I went out ten times, but I was brought once." ”

"It's really unconscionable to say this, can I bring you a copy after buying them three or five times?" Ning Shaobi smiled and shouted, "It's because you always think I buy a lot of unnecessary things, otherwise how can I forget you when I buy them?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie glanced at him, and Ning Shaobi immediately said: "Yes, yes, what the 'woman' of the prince says, I am the one who is confused!" ”

The subordinates all covered their mouths and snickered, Ning Yikuang bit his fingers and looked at his parents curiously, and suddenly said, "Why does my father keep letting my mother?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed, thinking that this was a good opportunity to teach him and Ning Yihui friendship! She was about to say: "Because your father is Langjun, and you are also a little Langjun, do you want to let your sister too?" ”

I never thought that Ning Yihui 'touched' the silk 'flower' on his head, squinted at his brother, and said: "Big brother is really stupid, of course it's because my mother has a life-saving grace for my father!" ”

Hey?!

Ning Shaobi and Zhuo Zhaojie were confused, and the two began to ponder whether the incident of Zhuo Zhaojie jumping into the lake to save Ning Shaobi on Mingyue Lake was known by the 'girl' by chance? However, Ning Yikuang obviously didn't know about this matter, and asked in surprise: "Mother saves father?" ”

"I heard my grandfather say that if you don't have anything to eat, you die." Ning Yihui said solemnly and loudly, "My father has been eating at our house, if it weren't for my mother who often gave my father food, my father would have starved to death, so my mother has a life-saving grace for my father, so my father has to listen to my mother!" ”

Ning Yikuang suddenly realized, and nodded thoughtfully: "So that's the case...... Father is so pitiful! ”

Ning Shaobi: "............! ”

Zhuo Zhaojie: ".................."
