Chapter 121: You can feed your subordinates

Previous Chapter

Yan Zhao took Jiang Ji back to King Zhao's Mansion, and the new housekeeper in the mansion was a kind old man, who was Yan Zhao's usual boss when he was in Jiangbei.

The canal was repaired for two years, and in those two years he opened a new mansion in Jiangbei, although the official residence was very spacious, but it was all officials arranged by the imperial court, Yan Zhao did not like frequent visitors, and meticulous deliberate diligence, moreover, he was far away from the palace since he was a child, and grew up in the countryside with the old man, and he has always been free and free and does not like to be restrained.

Therefore, he didn't stay in the official residence for a few days, so he arranged for his subordinates to buy a separate courtyard and live in it by himself.

It's just that he is busy with political affairs day and night, surveying fortifications, staying on the river for a few days, and rarely returning home, so he asked Xun Yu to find a manager.

This old man's surname is Wu, Mingchao, as his name suggests, no disease and no disaster, his life is smooth, and he is happy all day long, but his essence is also a poor person, he has no disease and no disaster, but his wife died one after another, and he was lonely and widowed, and the fortune of the Xu family fell on his head.

The past is gone, Steward Wu is an open-minded person, still happy every day, he laughs when he sees people, he is careful and thoughtful, and he is a reliable person.

After Yan Zhao left Jiangbei, the house did not change hands, and the right should be given to Steward Wu for the elderly, and Steward Wu knew that His Royal Highness valued him generously, and did his best to take care of Yan Zhao's property in Jiangbei, and the right should be guarded by him.

King Zhao's Mansion was built by his father's order, and the subordinates in it were all placed by his mother's concubine, Yan Zhao was originally relieved, until there was a matter of these two Diao slaves harming the master, Yan Zhao paid attention to it, and replaced all the people up and down in this mansion with his own people, and asked Wu to come over.

He has always done things properly and resolutely, and within a few days of coming to Zhaowang's Mansion, he bought a batch of subordinates again, and even the girl who burned the fire looked at it carefully, and felt that it was good, so he signed the deed.

Steward Wu was careful, and after he came, he carefully investigated, why did His Royal Highness make a big fuss to clean the entire mansion, and learned from Xu Song's mouth that it was the steward and the grandmother in the mansion who were bold, and the person who dared to force the young lady to die was imprisoned.

Therefore, before the rules were established, the maids and servants up and down the house were beaten all over again, and the young lady should be treated with general respect for His Royal Highness, and there must be no disrespect at all.

He knew in his heart that when he was still in Jiangbei, His Royal Highness had always been diligent in government, eating and drinking, day and night, and the canal could be built in just two years.

Young man, it's just different.

Therefore, he became more and more curious about the young lady, and he had also seen the paintings made by His Royal Highness, and she was a cute and agile little girl, and she couldn't help but like the picture scroll just by looking at it.

When he really saw people, Steward Wu knew what it meant to be inferior to people.

His Royal Highness's painting skills are nothing less than very outstanding, but this kind of god-like painting skills can't completely draw the beauty of the young lady, and he still doesn't know the character, Steward Wu was shocked by the young lady's stunning appearance.

I can't help but think that isn't Jiangbei a small place, and my knowledge is shallow?

Jiang Xi was carried back to the house by Yan Zhao, and after being notified by the porter, Steward Wu was busy welcoming him, this was the first time he came to the capital to see His Royal Highness, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, even Xu Song, who stayed in King Zhao's mansion, greeted him.

When His Royal Highness came back, his face was heavy, and although Steward Wu was a little scared, he couldn't help but be curious, and quietly raised his head to look, the little girl was pitiful and embarrassed, and was held in His Highness's arms.

He only saw a vague shadow, and only felt that the young lady was so beautiful, even when she was so embarrassed, it was like a carefully carved jade, and there was no place that was imperfect.

If it weren't for the fear of His Royal Highness's not very good face, Steward Wu would have wanted to come up and take a closer look, so he held back his excitement, saluted, and respectfully followed behind Yan Zhao, just thinking about the future and the future, there will always be a chance to see the true face.

Yan Zhao walked steadily and quickly into the main courtyard of King Zhao's Mansion with Jiang Xi, and put the little girl on a large bed with four bedposts and a veil on all sides.

If Jiang Ji is awake, she will definitely exclaim, she has never slept in such a big bed, to be precise, she has never stepped into the main courtyard of Zhaowang's Mansion, her days in Zhaowang's Mansion, she has always lived in Qiongyu Pavilion, Mama did not allow her to step into the main courtyard, only said that this is not in line with the boudoir, she thought about it.

Therefore, although I was curious about this main courtyard, I never set foot in it.

In fact, she was very curious about Yan Zhao and the man who was married to her, and wanted to know what he looked like, whether his personality was good, what he liked and what he didn't like.

But Mama never allowed her to hand over the letter to Yan Zhao privately, every time she wrote a letter to Yan Zhao, Mama would read it carefully, the girl was thin-skinned, even if she wanted to say something, she also took a break in the back and forth reading of Mama, and wrote a running account on the letter, not asking Yan Zhao how she was, only writing what interesting things she had done.

She wrote about the trade wind horses and cows, can see a beautiful flower today, write about her strange dreams at night, she began to write letters crookedly with a pen at the age of seven, when she was young, I don't know what a girl is Huaichun, I don't know what it is like to be married.

Thinking that it should be like a relative, Yan Zhao, who also belongs to his mother, is very affectionate, and will call Yan Zhao's brother obediently and skillfully in the letter, asking him what he ate and what he did.

When she was older, Jiang Xi understood that she wanted to marry Yan Zhao, just like a mother marrying her father, her mind about Yan Zhao changed, and she was a little shy.

The Yan Zhao she hopes for is very handsome, at least not too ugly, after all, she is really beautiful, if her husband is too ugly, she really can't accept it. There is also a better personality, and the father should be obedient to his mother, and he must be spoiled no matter how bad he is.

But these are all things she can't write in the letter, for a while she didn't even want to write any more letters, and was urged by her mother to deal with a few letters, but she didn't want to be too perfunctory, so she could see it, so she wrote a few words at random, and then drew some small portraits, sketching out in a simple stroke, she fluttered butterflies, she slept lazily, and she was in a daze.

In this way, you can write a few words less, and you can pass the mama level.

What Jiang Xi didn't know was that every letter she wrote, every question she asked, Yan Zhao carefully picked up the pen and wrote an answer, occasionally she was really busy before writing a few words, and writing small words on the back of the paper asking for her understanding, and then read her letter in her free time, and wrote the answer word by word.

Mama Zhou privately withheld a lot of letterheads, and showed Yan Zhao's letter to Jiang Xi, only saying how His Royal Highness was handsome, fairy-like, talented, and rich.

Mama Zhou doesn't look down on the old man, but in this matter, the two are surprisingly consistent.

It's really Yan Zhao's reply is too thick, word by word, trivial, delicate and gentle, which makes Mama frightened, His Royal Highness's status is noble, and Jiang Xi is just an orphan girl, relying on her mother, she got this great luck, and being able to marry His Royal Highness is a blessing she has cultivated for several lifetimes.

His Highness should be unattainable.

And she really understands Jiang Xi's temperament, she is not a peaceful person, she has a sweet mouth and coaxes, she is cunning and smart, and she is used to climbing up the pole, if she knows that His Royal Highness cares about her so much, her tail will be raised to the sky, wouldn't this be a mess of the body? In the future, if you are pampered and arrogant, and learn to fiddle with Your Highness, how can it be good?

Jiang Xi relegated herself to the dust under this deliberate misdirection, looked up at Yan Zhao, who was high above, and even thought that she was not worthy of him.

Thinking that he has been studying abroad all the year round, he will definitely not be detained in the house like himself, and there are countless women he has met, and it is inevitable that he will meet a heart-pounding person, and he is the same age as him, and it is inevitable that he will find interesting things, but he feels naΓ―ve.

This kind of emotion of suffering from gains and losses made Jiang Xi want to withdraw from the marriage several times, and finally made up her mind when she saw the concubine looking at other nobles in the palace, and wrote the divorce letter word by word with tears in her eyes.

extinguished the thought of quitting the marriage, but Xun Yu repeatedly emphasized over and over again that Yan Zhao cared about her very much, and would not withdraw from the marriage and would not marry someone else.

After Yan Zhao put the little girl on the bed, he carefully covered the quilt, and coldly ordered Xu Song behind him to ask the doctor to come over, or to see a doctor again, so that he could rest assured.

It was a middle-aged man with a goatee and a thin figure in a gray robe, who carefully looked at it and said the same thing as Du Mingyuan, and then opened a one-sided one.

Yan Zhao put his mind at ease, handed the prescription to Xu Song, and he immediately went to the kitchen.

After retiring from the maid in the inner room, Yan Zhao slowly sat on the edge of the bed, and gently grabbed Jiang Xi's slightly cool hand, her hand was very soft, very white, and very small, her nails were pink and white, revealing wordless delicacy.

His expression was dark, staring at the girl who had fallen into a stupor, Yan Zhao was extremely sure that she would not marry in this life, but he was worried that the little girl was still too young to understand his affection.

He had always been shrewd, but at this time he was a little clumsy and could not speak, and he did not know how to say it, he wished that he would marry someone in the door now, and put it under his nose, so that she would not encounter such malice or danger.

will not suffer from the hesitation of gains and losses and want to withdraw from the marriage, let alone feel that he wants to accept her as a concubine.

Now Yan Zhao regrets a little, he should have bluntly said that he was Yan Zhao at that time, and he would not have such a crooked and obscure expression, but the matter has come to this point and cannot be changed.

Now what worries him even more is how to persuade Jiang Xi to follow him instead of staying in the capital.

Even though the newly established mansion had many shadow guards he had installed, Yan Zhao still couldn't rest assured, those killers made Yan Zhao worried.

After a while, Yan Zhao ordered the maid to come in and wipe Jiang Xi's body and change her clothes, she had external injuries on her body and couldn't touch the water.

Waiting for the maid to whisper, he left here.

Pei Rang came back, and as he expected, the leader of the men in black still fled, and they captured many men in black, all of whom were imprisoned in the violent room by Pei Rang for torture.

These people, without exception, have a spiderweb-like crack on the back of their necks.

This is exactly a killer organization in the rivers and lakes, called Wuxiangge, as long as the remuneration is generous enough, there will be killers to work for it, to achieve the employer's purpose, once the task fails, will pay 30% of the honorarium.

This is not useful information, these people are outlaws who can buy as long as they can afford the price, Yan Zhao wants to know who is coming up with this rich reward, and what is the purpose.

If you don't check it clearly, you will never be able to feel at ease with the sword hanging on your head.

After Yan Zhao instructed Pei Rang to investigate thoroughly, he returned to the main courtyard, and the little girl changed into a pure white fine silk bedclothes, wet her hair, wiped her body, the fragrance was soft, her sleep was sweet, and she was puffy.

Yan Zhao couldn't help bending the corners of his lips, looked at it quietly for a while, the next person brought the boiled decoction, knocked on the door gently, Yan Zhao took the medicine cup from the maidservant's hand, put it on the small table next to the bed, gently supported the little girl's shoulder, and made her sit up.

Jiang Xi was woken up by bitterness, almost at the moment when the decoction entered her throat, her liver was about to be bitter, she couldn't help frowning, and slowly opened her eyes.

But I saw that I was on a very gorgeous bed, even the embroidery of the veil was indescribably complex and exquisite, I changed my body, my hair was scattered, and I was full of fragrance, and the person in front of me was Xun Yu, who was nesting in his arms, and he was still holding a medicine cup in his hand, which was the medicine that woke up from crying.

Jiang Xi couldn't help but look up and saw his beautiful jaw.

The posture of the two was a little too ambiguous, Jiang Ji had an intuition that was inappropriate, and pushed the person away, but where could Yan Zhao easily push away.

"Presumptuous!"

Jiang Ji blushed and sighed softly, then got out of his arms, retreated to the corner of the spacious bed, held the bedpost with his hand, and gasped softly.

She only remembered that she was caught by those men in black, and then fainted, and woke up and came here, everything was unfamiliar, only Xun Yu in front of her was familiar.

But the distance beyond the normal range made her feel uneasy, and it made no sense that the guards around Yan Zhao dared to take advantage of her fainting to make such an intimate move.

Yan Zhao saw the little girl's vigilance, sighed lightly, put the medicine cup on the small table, and explained softly: "Miss, don't be afraid, the subordinates rescued you, you were injured, this is the Zhaowang Mansion, the subordinates are feeding the medicine, there is no offense." ”

His eyes are gentle, and he is really good-looking, this is a good-looking thing that Jiang Xi can't refuse, almost instantly softened his heart, believed his words, although he still had doubts in his heart, he was still willing to believe him, and couldn't help but ask softly: "Zhaowangfu, if there is a maidservant, let the maidservant take care of me." ”

Jiang Xi was a little unwell, her hair was dizzy, her chest was tight, and she was a little weak even when she spoke.

Yan Zhao saw her frowning, shrinking in the corner of the bed like a rabbit, a little funny, and a little distressed, so he couldn't help but respond softly: "Miss still has injuries on her body, drink the medicine and lie down and rest, and the subordinates will go out." ”

It wasn't until Yan Zhao went out that Jiang Xi returned to lie on the pillow, she really didn't want to come to this Zhao Palace, but she still came here.

When you're here, there are far more unhappy memories than happy ones.

A handmaid with a delicate face came in, looked at her timidly, and was a little restrained: "Miss, I'll serve you to drink medicine." ”

As she spoke, she picked up the medicine cup on the small table.

Jiang Ji suddenly had a bitter face, she hated two things most in her life, one was taking medicine, but she couldn't sleep lazy, she hated these two things, both of which were related to Mama.

Yan Zhao outside the door did not leave, and noticed Jiang Xi's reluctance and said softly: "Miss, do you still want to be fed?" ”
