CHAPTER XXXI

The two returned to the crowd, and Ye Qian said, "Twenty taels of silver, are you willing to sell yourself?" ”

The woman thought that King Yu had persuaded the little girl, and glanced at the handsome King Yu shyly, "The little girl is willing." ”

"Everyone testify, you have received my twenty taels of silver, and you have voluntarily sold yourself to me, go to the official office now, complete the formalities, and officially sign the deed of sale." Ye Qian was in charge of the middle feed, and after the Hou Mansion was separated, some new servants were added, and she was also very clear about the procedures for buying people.

The woman was overjoyed, and glanced at King Yu with affection, Not in vain did she put a lot of effort into it, This time she hooked up with such a young and handsome prince, Although she has become a subordinate, But can the woman next to the prince be an ordinary subordinate?

Ye Qian glanced at her, "After you bury your father, go directly to the prefect's mansion, I lived there for two days, and I found that there are not enough people in the mansion, and you will work in the prefect's mansion in the future." ”

"What? Where is the prefect? The woman hurriedly shook her head, "No, the little woman is here to serve this nobleman."

Ye Qian sneered, "You just sell yourself to my subordinates, you have to do whatever I ask you to do, who you want to serve is still up to you to choose, are you the master or am I the master?"

The woman was dumbfounded, not understanding how things had come to this, she looked at King Yu sadly, hoping that he could stop the little girl who was making random decisions, but found that he only looked at the little girl with a smile and did not even look at herself.

Ye Qian said again: "I guess you don't know, servants are also divided into one, two and three grades, like you who just bought in, you have to start from the last little maid, you are what I transferred to the prefect, you can't be cheating, I will also tell the prefect, don't give you a rank casually, you must 'exercise enough'." After she finished speaking, she instructed Zheng Han to leave a guard to watch the woman, and then sent her directly to the prefect's mansion and dragged King Yu away.

"Qianqian handled it very well." It couldn't be better to send her to the prefect. The liar from Wonju City, let the prefect of Wonju City discipline him, which is just right.

"She's going to sell herself, I'm going to give the money, and then she's going to do something that a subordinate should do."

After this scam of "selling herself to bury her father", Ye Qian had a little more vigilance, and in the subsequent trip, she found that there were many women who tried to get close to King Yu, some local officials sent over to "serve" King Yu, and some who dared to take the initiative to approach. However, she and Xiao Yanfeng are inseparable, Xiao Yanfeng does not go to the banquet prepared by these officials, they sleep together at night, and no woman has a chance to succeed.

King Yu looked at Ye Qian's increasing vigilance in his eyes, and was extremely proud in his heart, the little girl was half-opened, and she knew that she was jealous, haha, now she knows how popular Brother Yan is, and she must take good care of Brother Yan in the future, and she can't let other women take advantage of her.

Ye Qian will write letters when she is free, and she doesn't know how many letters she has written along the way, some to her father and mother, some to her younger brother Ye Shuo, and even to Ah Huang of Yuwangfu, so that the little chamberlain who takes care of it can read to it, of course, the most is for Ye Li. She wrote down all the different customs and customs, as well as the big and small things she encountered, and the anecdotes she heard on the way, all in a letter to her brother and sent them back to Kyoto.

After more than two months, at the end of July, the group finally arrived at the tent.

The city gate was opened, and the prefect of Zhao led officials and famous local wealthy squires to greet King Yu. When he arrived at his fiefdom, King Yu didn't need to be low-key, he rode a high-headed horse, and entered the city with a hug, while Ye Qian sat in the carriage, looking curiously outside through the thin curtain, the officials all knelt on the ground, and the people who appeared along the street also knelt, and King Yu waved his hand casually and took the team to the palace.

Two years ago, after the tent leaf was assigned to the king of Yu to make a fief, the king of Yu sent people to build a new palace here, one is to announce the identity of his master, and the other is that he can use the name of building the palace to send people over here to take care of things, mainly to deal with those mines. Although I don't plan to mine it with great fanfare, now that I have it, I naturally want to use it in a small way.

The canopy leaves are large, but it looks far less prosperous than Kyoto, and it is not as good as Wonju City, but Ye Qian likes this feeling of emptiness and tranquility. There are few people here, the land is not expensive, the streets are built very wide, and there are not many people on the street, probably because the king of Yu is coming, he has been specially cleaned, and the street is very clean.

A group of nearly 1,000 people entered the palace in a mighty way, large and small officials and rich squires also followed, King Yu first took Ye Qian back to the courtyard, washed, changed clothes, let Ye Qian rest in the house, he went to see those tent leaves with a head and a face, with him passed, in addition to the small chamberlain, there is also a person named Peng Shimao, about thirty years old, was brought from Kyoto by King Yu.

Along the way, Ye Qian was really tired, King Yu went to meet the officials, Gonggong Kang took over the management of the palace, Zheng Han rearranged the defense and garrison of the palace, and she climbed into bed and slept beautifully.

Only slept until sunset, Ye Qian opened her eyes, but found that she was sleeping in Xiao Yanfeng's arms, "Hmm, Brother Yan will come back so soon?" ”

Xiao Yanfeng had already woken up, and tapped lightly on her little nose, "Where is it fast, it's time now, those officials have already left, I will hold a banquet in the palace tomorrow and officially receive them." ”

Ye Qian stretched her waist and slept well, she was still a little lazy and didn't want to get up, "Brother Yan, did those officials embarrass you?" Are there any landlords among those rich squires? "When she took over the family last year, her mother was worried that there was a housekeeper who bullied her young age and made her a stumbling block, but fortunately, her father accompanied her every day to deal with the affairs of the Hou Mansion, and no one dared to jump out, but these officials are not necessarily, Xiao Yanfeng is not very old, maybe they will bully her.

Xiao Yanfeng sneered, hugged her and didn't rush to get up, and slowly explained: "Governor Zhao is a very diligent person, but unfortunately he lacks ability and has no courage to be a person. "This is also the reason why he came to Pengye, after all, the people sent by the first were in the name of building the palace, and it was not good to meddle in local government affairs, this time, he was going to clean up the three gentry, and then replace the Zhao Governor's Mansion, and Peng Shimao was brought by him to replace the Zhao Governor's Mansion.

"Are the three squires disrespectful to Brother Yan?" Ye Qian asked worriedly, although she didn't understand the situation, it was not difficult to imagine that the person with real power was definitely unwilling to hand over the power in his hand.

"It doesn't matter." Xiao Yanfeng touched her back and comforted: "Although these three families are ostensibly married to each other and their forces are intertwined, they are not monolithic, and I have my own way." "In his previous life, he only stumbled upon the mine of Canopy after he became the emperor, and the gentry of Zhang, Wang, and Li did not dare to compete with the emperor no matter how bold they were, although they secretly won a lot of benefits, but they did not stumble. This time it's different, he wants to act secretly in the tent to move those mines, and he must deal with these local snakes. The people sent by the pioneers were constrained by these three families everywhere, not to mention the mines, even the construction of the palace, and they also took a lot of advantages.

"So what does it take me to do? Shall I meet their daughters? Since her father came back, she has taught her a lot of ways to deal with the world, including the communication between female dependents is also a kind of help, many things are inconvenient for men to talk face-to-face, but female dependents can easily do it, although she has not practiced, but always feel that what her father said should be right.

"No, those three are just squires, and they are not qualified to meet Qianqian." The little girl came all the way, no matter how tired she was, she didn't complain, she just came with her willingly, and now she still wanted to share her worries, Xiao Yanfeng couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and secretly kissed her on the top of her hair, "The female relatives of the Zhao prefect's family can see it, but it's not in a hurry, wait for Qianqian to rest enough." "Although the prefect of Zhao has not been able to fight the three families of Zhang Wang and Li, he is very diligent, and he also has a good reputation in the tent, after Peng Shimao replaced the prefect of Zhao, he also planned to leave the prefect of Zhao and be a fellow acquaintance, and give Peng Shimao a hand.

Ye Qian thought for a while, "I won't be tired tomorrow, tomorrow Brother Yan will have a banquet for officials and squires, and I will meet the female relatives of the officials." "Her mother also taught her how to socialize with many young girls, she always has to give it a try, maybe she can help Xiao Yanfeng.

"It's okay, then it's better to invite a few fewer people." Xiao Yanfeng agreed, the little girl will inevitably have to deal with the female dependents in the future, even if she becomes the queen, she will also meet with the officials and the female dependents of the clan family, it is good to practice now, "Qianqian doesn't have to worry about the banquet, she has her own arrangement by Gonggong Kang." As for those female dependents, Qianqian doesn't have to be too polite, this canopy is my fiefdom, Qianqian is my princess, if anyone dares to be disrespectful to Qianqian, just dispose of it. Mama Feng didn't follow, Bai Zhen Lufei didn't go through such a scene, Xiao Yanfeng was afraid that his little princess would be bullied.

"Don't worry, Brother Yan doesn't have to worry about me." She didn't know how many banquets she had attended since she was a child, and her daily communication was no problem.

Xiao Yanfeng touched her head, "Just think of these people accompanying Qianqian to relieve boredom and learn about the local customs, Qianqian doesn't have to think about how to help me, I have a plan to deal with these people." He naturally understood the little girl's thoughts, but he was reluctant to bother her, here, she is the princess of the high, in the future, she is the queen of the high, there is no need to intrigue with these women, those people and his little princess are not at the same level at all.

"Got it. Brother Yan, I'm hungry. ”

Xiao Yanfeng smiled and pulled her to sit up, "I didn't eat well all the way, let's treat Qianqian's little belly tonight." "Although there are people from the palace restaurant on the road, after all, there is no convenience in the palace, and the ingredients are purchased at the post station, which is very restricted. He had already told Father-in-law Kang to cook more meals she liked tonight.
