Yu Xiucheng didn't give Chi Yan a chance to refuse, and said categorically: "The dignified Marquis Mansion lives in seclusion in Yaoshan, Chi Yan, you don't care about the Yu family, but you don't even care about the Chi family?" ”

At this point, Yu Xiucheng left Chi Yan alone in the armory, and he left with his back.

When he walked to the door, Yu Xiucheng thought of something, stopped, he turned his head slightly, and asked with a look in his eyes: "Do you know that Xiao Qing is Qiao Fang's mother?" I can't interject about her, and I don't want to hear it a second time. ”

When Chi Yan heard him say this, he thought of what he and Xiao Qing said when they stood next to the carriage last night, and his heart suddenly sank, he knew everything?

"Lord Yu......" Chi Yan wanted to say something.

As soon as Yu Xiucheng turned his head and glanced at him, Chi Yan immediately closed his mouth.

"Think about how the iron pipe can be used on the Beirong people to give full play to his maximum use, you can come to this arsenal more in the future, take a good look at Daqing's weapons, if you have any good ideas, report to me immediately, I have something to do with you!" Yu Xiucheng thought about his style, and shouted: "Don't focus on the love of children!" ”

Yu Xiucheng snorted coldly, and after retracting his gaze, he walked away, leaving Chi Yan alone standing in the armory.

Chi Yan has never been reprimanded since he was a child, Yu Xiucheng is the first, strange thing, he is not angry with his reprimand.

However, there is one thing he confirmed, Yu Xiucheng is really different from Xiao Qing, he may really like Xiao Qing without knowing it.

He wandered around the armory at will, stayed in the armory alone for an afternoon, and had a general understanding of Daqing's weapons.

He finally knew that the land in Daqing was taken back bit by bit, and it was difficult to suppress the boiling heart of wanting to serve the imperial court, and there seemed to be a sign burning in his heart.

Xiao Qing here, early in the morning, came to the tooth shop in Shangjing, and the tooth shop heard that she was going to buy some rough maids and servants, so he excitedly pulled her to the inner room.

The tooth wife of the tooth shop is called Cui Lian, she is used to seeing nobles in Beijing, which family sent her to receive people and give them away, they are all a group of mothers-in-law, how can there be such a handsome offspring.

Looking at Xiao Qing's face again, Cui Lian thought that she was a merchant who might need a few rough anti-heavy objects to wash her subordinates.

"What kind of person does the little brother want? I have everything here, there are concubines in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there are powerful men below, do you want to see it again and decide or do you have an idea? ”

In order to facilitate the discussion, Xiao Qing was dressed in men's clothes in and out, and Cui Lian did not recognize her.

"The shopkeeper, I don't want a concubine, I don't want a big man, my house lacks a few literate and hyphenated, clever, it is best to serve a large family, for example, aunt and mother-in-law, a first-class maid in the mansion, a second-class maid, it is best to have a servant in charge, the price is easy to say, I just want to save worry and trouble?" Xiao Qing asked in a rough voice.

When Cui Lian heard that the price was good, she thought that she had met a stunned blue, and came to her to wait to be slaughtered.

"Yes, yes, yes, don't say that the guest officer has served the nobles, even if I have served the princess and the king, I have it here!" Cui Lian said with a smile.

Xiao Qing was secretly happy in his heart, wasn't this right on her gun?

"Shopkeeper, can't you fool me and serve the princess? The little princess in the palace? Is it a little princess who is still being held in swaddling clothes? Xiao Qing asked with a clear pretense of confusion.

Cui Lian looked left and right at no one, she pulled Xiao Qing to the inner room, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, you have to be cautious, you dare to say the little princess in the palace?" It's not today's little princess, it's the eldest princess of the previous dynasty! ”

Xiao Qing's eyebrows were full of surprise, but they turned panicked in an instant: "The eldest princess of the previous dynasty? Then I don't dare to ask for it, those people are anti-thieves, I will be implicated if I buy them, and then something happens to my family, I don't beat the drum and cry out for grievances, don't! ”

Cui Lian saw that she didn't want it, she was anxious, these people had been in her hands for many years, but whenever she asked where she had gone before, they were all sent back, she couldn't afford to raise so many people, and she couldn't sell them, so she was finally a stupid Leng Qing, how could she let it go easily?

"The guest officers don't know, although they are anti-thieves, they have been pardoned for their crimes by the Holy Order four or five years ago, they are no longer anti-thieves, and it was Taishi He who personally sent people to us, you can rest assured to buy, there is Taishi He's back! What are you afraid of? Cui Lian tried her best to persuade Xiao Qing.

She didn't persuade her, she couldn't do it, Taishi He ordered her to sell these people as soon as possible, she also wanted to sell, but no one bought them, someone bought them before, she coaxed some people to buy them, but then they sent them back to her.

Xiao Qing still hesitated and hesitated.

Cui Lian looked at Xiao Qing's expression that was difficult to decide, and felt that there was a drama in this matter, so she immediately smiled earnestly and persuaded her: "Guest officer, do you think this is good?" How many people do you want? I'll give you a cheaper, I used to sell you two taels of silver a person, how about I sell you one or two and a half? ”

Xiao Qing heard that there were one or two more people, which was very cost-effective, and Cui Lian did not give her any money.

"How many of you are here to serve the eldest princess? I'll take a look at their complexion and physical condition. ”

Cui Lian said: "I have more than 20 people here, most of them are servants, and a few are rough servants!" ”

Xiao Qing said: "Then you call them out, I'll pick a few and try them back, if it doesn't work, I'll return them to you as soon as possible." ”

Cui Lian shouted out together when she heard more than two dozen people, this is a big deal, oh my God!

After a while, Cui Lian called out more than 20 people, they were wearing burlap clothes and pants, wearing straw sandals, their hair was combed bright and neat, but their heads were drooping.

"Won't they all look up? Keep your head down on your stomach! Xiao Qing shouted.

Cui Lian saw that Xiao Qing's face had changed when she saw them, so she was so frightened that she raised the rattan weave in her hand and hit a few little girls and old women?

"Didn't hear your benefactor? Lift your head, she makes you look up! Haven't you seen your new master? Cui Lian whipped and whipped.

Xiao Qing watched them move when they were beaten and scolded, as if they were used to this kind of whipping and insults.

When she saw Cui Lian swinging her whip again to beat a young woman, Xiao Qing immediately stopped: "Inner shopkeeper, stop, you have been noisy and fighting, how can I pick someone?" ”

Cui Lian heard that Xiao Qing was going to pick someone, and her smiling eyes were crowded together: "Okay, okay, I won't fight, I won't fight, you pick someone, you pick ...... first"

She smiled and pointed to the young woman beside her and said, "Guest officer, look at this, it is said that she is the person next to the little county lord, and she is the same age as the little county lord, she grew up together, she looks like she is iconic and pretty, how good is it to buy it back and keep it as a concubine for herself?" ”

Xiao Qing smiled and asked, "Inner shopkeeper, how many times has this woman been sold by you?" No matter how good it looks, what's the use, it's ruined by someone! ”

Cui Lian raised her hand and swore: "Guest officer, as soon as others hear their origins, they are reluctant to buy it, where else has anyone bought it?" I can assure you that all the women here are innocent! The guest officer can take it back, and when he is satisfied in a few days, he will come back to me! ”
