"Girl, decoction."

Xiyu came in with a decoction and sent it to the bed.

Zhao Yan leaned against the bedside with the book in her hand, picking out the words she recognized, guessing the meaning of the book.

Hearing the sound of the rain, she raised her head, put down the book and took the bowl.

Eating the decoction, she pondered, and when she cleaned up the Fuguo Mansion, should she buy a literate and hyphenated maid to follow her and teach her to read.

In the future, if the daughter of a guilty minister is put into slavery, you can consider buying one first.

Leaf hurriedly entered the room: "Girl, the news from the Hou Mansion of Huai'an has come out, and Zhao Ruxiu and Jiang Qingrou have made a big fuss because of the matter of giving the shop to the girl.

Zhao Ruxiu seemed to have been beaten again, crying and running out of the house, without any silver, and was wandering at the door of the pawnshop at this time, wanting to be jewelry.

Jiang Qingrou didn't send anyone to chase after her, but only let Zhao Ruxiu's personal maid follow quietly. ”

Zhao Yan took the decoction in the bowl one by one, pinched the handkerchief and wiped her lips, and then said unhurriedly: "Before going to bed, there is such good news coming."

Now that she's out, don't let her go back for the time being.

In the name of Jiang Xueqiong, give her some silver, and keep an eye on which mansion she lives in. ”

"Yes." The Leaf should be down.

"Tell me to get up early tomorrow, I'm going to the Golden Spring Pavilion." Zhao Yan commanded again, hugged the small quilt sent by Zhou Yu in her arms, got into the quilt, and closed her eyes with her body on her side.

Xiyu hesitated and said, "Girl, it's the sixteenth day of the lunar month today."

It's almost the New Year, do you think you should prepare something? ”

She said carefully.

Last year, when the New Year was celebrated, the second young master was in a very bad situation, and the girl did not prepare anything, but only went to Zhuangzi to eat Chinese New Year's Eve.

The girl said that she only had one relative, the second young master.

The second young master is not happy, what year is she going to have?

This year is different, the second young master has figured it out, and now he is studying seriously, and he is willing to cooperate with Tai to heal his legs.

The girl shouldn't be the same as last year.

"It's the sixteenth of the lunar month?" Zhao Yan opened her eyes.

She didn't pay attention to the day, but felt that the weather was getting colder and colder, and the market was becoming more and more lively, and it turned out that the New Year was approaching.

"Yes." Xi Yu nodded.

Zhao Yan thought about it and ordered: "You take someone to prepare tomorrow, watch and buy some New Year's goods, and send them to Zhuangzi." ”

"What about the girl?" Xiyu looked at her back.

"I don't need anything." Zhao Yan paused and said, "Remember to come back with more golden melon seeds, and keep them for the New Year." ”

"However, the girl ...... here" Xiyu still feels sorry for her.

Zhao Yan laughed: "I'm in the Fuguo Mansion, are you still afraid that they will starve me?" ”

"Yes." Xiyu didn't dare to persuade again, bowed his head and retreated with the Leaf.

Early the next morning, Jiang Wang fed Jiang Huaifu breakfast, and Zhao Yan walked out of the gate of Zhaoyang Courtyard.

It's not that she's afraid of Jiang Wang's family, it's just early in the morning, and she is too lazy to talk nonsense with Jiang Wang's family.

The luxurious soft sedan chair was carried directly to the door of the Golden Spring Pavilion.

The old bustard came out yawning and smiled: "The young lady came really early. ”

Not only early, but also frequent.

Didn't you just come here yesterday?

It can't be something else, right?

After all, before, most of Zhao Yan only came to have a pastime in ten days and half a month.

"Call out the boys, I'm going to buy one." Zhao Yan commanded at will.

When the old bustard heard this, he was not sleepy, and immediately beckoned and ordered: "Quick, have you heard it?" Why don't you go and call everyone out. ”

She just gave the order, turned her face again, and led the way with a smile on her face: "Young lady, please sit here." ”

After Zhao Yan sat down, she stepped forward again and poured tea to serve it herself.

Zhao Yan took the teacup and sniffed it in front of her nose.

"Young lady, rest assured, it's the best loose tea from the dragon group." The old bustard hurriedly spoke.

"Well, it smells good." Zhao Yan bowed her head and took a sip.

Soon, someone led the little girls to come and lined up in front of Zhao Yan.

"Young lady, did you buy a wild goose?"

Yan Xing took a step forward and said with a smile, he looked outstanding, he played well, Zhao Yanlai often ordered him.

He and Zhao Yan are familiar with each other, and they are slightly bolder.

"Nope." The corners of Zhao Yan's lips hooked slightly, and she shook her head.

The reputation of the goose is so loud that it is easy to notice.

Yan Xing knew that she was telling herself, so she didn't dare to say any more, and took a step back with a gloomy expression and retreated into the group.

"Young lady, the best sons and daughters of our Jinchun Pavilion are all here." The old bustard smiled and raised his hand: "You can choose at will." ”

Zhao Yan leaned on the back of the chair, her posture was casual, starting from the first goose walk, looking over one by one, and finally shaking her head.

"None of that."

There will be many people who recognize the little girl with excellent appearance, and it is too risky to use such a person, and it will not work.

"I'm here, that's all there is to it." The old bustard was embarrassed: "I don't take out those ordinary goods, and I don't take them out to stain the young lady's eyes." ”

Zhao Yan frowned and did not speak.

The old bustard said again: "Otherwise, the young lady will tell me, what kind of thing you want, I will think about it." ”

"Can you find it?" Zhao Yan looked at her.

"As long as the young lady can say what she wants, I can find it." The old bustard smiled and rubbed his hands: "It's just that the price is ......."

"Price is not an issue." Zhao Yan looked at the wild goose: "It's enough to have the appearance of the wild goose, if I haven't shown my face before, it's best to be the kind that no one in the imperial capital recognizes." ”

"The young lady wants this?" The old bustard's eyes lit up: "I have one here, which was only brought in a few days ago, but it is a hard bone to gnaw."

If it weren't for his good appearance, I would have wanted to kill him. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Yan raised her eyebrows slightly.

"It's from Yunzhou, something happened to the prefect of Yunzhou before, the young lady knows, right?" The old bustard smiled and said, "This is the son of the prefect's family, who is very good-looking, and he has been sold to me."

I haven't had time to train it yet. ”

"The prefect of Yunzhou?" Zhao Yan blinked: "A while ago, I found that the silver mine was not reported to the imperial court, and it was beheaded by the whole family?" ”

"Yes, the three tribes have been reduced to slavery." The old bustard nodded repeatedly.

"Bring people in." Zhao Yan commanded.

"Go, bring it over and show it to the young lady." The old bustard waved his hand and commanded.

Soon, someone pushed a teenager with a lot of flowers into the lobby.

"Get on your knees!"

When he arrived in front of Zhao Yan, someone pushed the young man.

The boy staggered, but refused to kneel.

"Kneel!"

He kicked him hard in the crook of the knee.

The young man couldn't bear it, and finally knelt down, but he still held his head high and didn't look at Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan lowered her eyes and looked at him, the young man looked about the same age as her younger brother, wearing the unique colorful clothes in the Jinchun Pavilion, which was extremely incompatible with his appearance.

His face is still a little immature, his appearance is tough and delicate, he is very good, he is not short, and there is an extremely strong stubbornness and hatred in his black eyes.

"Not bad."

Zhao Yan gently spit out two words.

The old bustard was overjoyed: "This kid is very strong, if the young lady likes it, I will give it to the young lady according to the capital." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Yan bowed her head and ordered: "Cherish the time, go to the checkout." ”

I followed the bustard to the counter.

"If you buy me, don't try to entertain me, even if I die, I will never be humiliated." The young man spoke suddenly, and his words were sharp and loud.

Zhao Yan got up and walked up to him, looked at him with lowered eyes and smiled: "I'm not interested in children." ”

The boy choked.

"I'll buy you, it's useless." Zhao Yan said slowly: "If you are more well-behaved, I can let you continue to study." ”

"How do you know I'm a reader?" The boy looked up at her.

Seeing her face clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned, and instantly lowered his eyes.

How about being born no matter how good-looking it is?

It is not a good thing for a woman to come to such a place.

"You don't have to worry about that." Zhao Yan smiled: "I only ask you, are you willing to listen to me?" ”

Why did she know he was a reader?

Because in this world, only scholars have such integrity.

"As long as you do what you say, don't humiliate me, let me read." The boy immediately realized that this might be his chance to live: "I would like to repay you by being a cow and a horse." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Yan bowed: "In the future, you will be called Lifu." ”

"My surname is Gu." The boy spoke.

"Gu Lifu." Zhao Yan chuckled: "It's very good." ”

Gu Lifu lowered his head and did not speak.

"I'll tell you the first thing." Zhao Yan looked at him with a smile.

Gu Lifu raised his head.

Zhao Yanxing's eyes were slightly bent, and she whispered, "Put away the hatred in your eyes."

When you don't have the strength, you will only kill yourself if you show your edge. ”
