"If something happens to me, the feudal town will be shattered in an instant, and everyone's good days will come to an end, no one but me will work so hard to improve the culture and living standards of the people of the feudal town, unless the assassins have a bitter hatred for me, I can't imagine what danger I will encounter in an environment where I am very much needed everywhere?" After Pei Qing finished lazily, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

Cuiwan's train of thought was suddenly opened, although she had long known that her master was not a good person, but because the master was very considerate of her, she subconsciously thought that the master was such a cold person on the outside and hot on the inside.

However, through today's conversation with Princess Rui, Cuiwan suddenly thought of another possibility - her master did not die well, and it is very likely that he died a very unnoble death!

Cuiwan felt a little unacceptable.

She didn't expect her master to cherish good deeds, but she didn't want her master to risk the world's condemnation.

As long as you have eyes, you can see that everyone in Xixian County is well fed, warmly clothed, and has a job to do, all of which were created by Princess Rui herself - imagine what an evil person he is, who will target Princess Rui and poison her?

She didn't dare to think about it anymore, Cuiwan didn't want to analyze why her master died in Xixian County, just like a person who knew that she was seriously ill but refused to see Lang Zhong, she forced herself to stop thinking about her master's death.

The matter of avenging the master will be talked about when there is a chance to talk about it later.

Princess Rui finished drinking the tea, put down the teacup and asked her, "I heard that you are helping someone take care of the children these days?" Tell me, what are your experiences? ”

Cuiwan's worries were instantly replaced by worries, and she burst out: "It's too tiring to take care of the child!" ”

Especially the newborn baby, after a while, you have to eat, after a while, you have to change diapers, you have to unwash and dry the bedding every day, and you have to get up five or six times a night...... She had only been doing it for so many days, and she felt that she couldn't bear it.

She was afraid that she would not be able to do this job!

Princess Rui smiled encouragingly as she listened, looked at her attentively, and let her involuntarily continue.

"And I don't know why I cried all of a sudden, obviously I just ate and drank and changed diapers and bedding, but I just kept crying, and the people who cried had big brains!" Because of being trusted and encouraged like this, Cuiwan couldn't help but say more, "How can there be such a naughty doll in the world?" ”

Princess Rui gently interrupted her and asked, "Then does the textbook tell you why?" ”

Cuiwan frowned, and replied in annoyance: "The textbook says that there are indeed reasons, either because of a swollen stomach or an uncomfortable body, or simply want someone to hug ...... How can a doll be so much? ”

Princess Rui listened quietly, and suddenly stretched out a thumbs up to her: "Cuiwan, I used to underestimate you, I thought you would perfunctory this errand, but I didn't expect you to work so hard, it is really the content that you are taught in the practical textbooks one by one - among this group of girls, you are really the most capable!" ”

Almost with a whoosh, Cuiwan's stomach full of whining and irritability was swept away by these few words.

A feeling of being recognized, appreciated, and supported, and what could be more gratifying than having the strongest affirmation for something you have done? This made her truly realize that she was right in life and that what she was doing was very meaningful.

Cui Wan showed a heartfelt smile, and before she knew it, she had already seen Princess Rui as her new master, a good master who could discover her value.

At this time, I only listened to Princess Rui's gentle and encouraging words: "It will be very hard for a person to do things, so now I allow you to go out and recruit ten young women as helpers, each person will have three meals and accommodation for 100 yuan per day, and you will recruit more people in the future, I hope to make the nursery hall of King Rui's Mansion the largest one in the world." ”

Cuiwan took a deep breath and said categorically: "The slave will definitely live up to the trust of the princess!" ”

Compared with Cuiwan, a prospective babysitter who works hard to learn how to take care of children, Ah Meng and the miners are not so smooth.

They walked all day without reaching the mine, and had to sleep in the wilderness.

Guard Chen instructed everyone to form a circle with all the small carts, and then light a fire in the circle to cook rice.

And Ah Meng, the only woman in the team, was well protected by ten guards, vigilantly separating her from the future miners.

The firelight drove away the night, the aroma of food gradually spread, and the noise of dozens of people frightened away many animals, but also attracted many nocturnal animals.

It had been quiet all around me after dinner, but in the middle of the night the green eyes that had been dormant in the grass came into view, staring at the crowd of people who were napping in the back of the cart.

Although Amon was tired all day, she didn't fall asleep, and in the middle of the night, she suddenly felt someone tap her shoulder, and she opened her eyes violently.

Guard Chen briefly told her, "There are wolves." ”

Immediately after, a long sharp knife was shoved into her hand.

Chen Guardsman said: "The princess hopes that you can stand up to your authority, otherwise, you can't deter these fifty men, even if you get to the mine, you can't command them." ”

With that, he stood up and made a gap.

Outside was a group of wild wolves with green eyes, which at first glance looked so dense that it was impossible to count how many there were.

Ah Meng bit her lip and stood up suddenly, although the six female guards had learned martial arts under the guidance of Instructor Li, she was not sure whether her martial arts were enough or not, but this did not prevent her from having a leopard gall.

It turns out that the princess still has such a test for her, if she can't pass it, will she not have a chance to be in charge of the party in the future?

If she loses to the wolves, she will lose to the fate of never being able to turn over, and she will not be able to escape the lowly life of pouring Yexiang for the rest of her life.

Ah Meng gritted his teeth and was ruthless: Even if he dies, he will never lose!

In the next moment, the wolves charged, 10 guards rushed head-on, and 50 miners woke up from their dreams, huddled together in a panic.

At this moment, with a woman's roar, Ah Meng rushed into the wolves with a long knife.

The fifty young men who had just been summoned were all stunned.

When they first came to receive this job, they all came for fifty yuan a day, and as for the palace maid who nominally led them to mine, no one took her seriously.

Yes, she is Princess Rui's personal maid, so what? She's just a girl anyway, so what's the use?

The girl would only cry when she encountered something, and the fifty of them were already eyebrow-raising, and when they were ready to get to the mine, they would leave the maid aside and put her in the air.

But no one expected to meet wolves in the wild, and after encountering wolves, they were all frightened, but the girl rushed forward with a knife, and at first glance it was a lifeless way of fighting, and she was reckless in places where there were many wolves.

These young men were all frightened by Ah Meng's ruthlessness, and they were so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe, and they couldn't speak when they opened their eyes.

The battle was swift, and it didn't take long for the wolves to leave behind a dozen wolf corpses and run away with a whimper.

At this time, Ah Meng's body, knife, and face were all covered with wolf blood, and the whole person was still trembling, but the fierceness in his eyes was terrifying under the firelight.

Guard Chen nodded with satisfaction, a little surprised by his housewife's provocative eyes, but he didn't expect that this female guard named Ah Meng actually had great potential.

This hand is exposed, and she is asked to carry a knife in her hand every day, and these people in the mine dare not disagree.

"Everybody deal with these wolves," Amon said, trembling and fiercely staring at the fifty young men and pointing at them with the tip of his knife, "clean up the battlefield and leave no blood." ”

Wherever the tip of the knife went, no man dared to meet her gaze, and all of them involuntarily lowered their heads and resigned themselves to her instructions.

Fifty people were a lot of people, but the battlefield was cleaned up in just a moment, and a dozen wolves were also dealt with and buried in the ashes of the grass and trees.

Ah Meng supported herself with a knife in her hand, glaring at everyone until Guard Chen walked up to her and whispered, "It's okay, it's too much." ”

After a long while, Ah Meng sat down on the ground and gasped for breath, but no one dared to look at her at this time, and the fifty young and honest were like a nest of quails.

Amon became famous, and from then on, as long as she was there, all the miners did not dare to raise their heads and speak straight.

It didn't take long for dawn to get up, Ah Meng was holding a long knife and urging everyone to get up quickly, she only shouted, but everyone obeyed the order, even if they were sleepy and couldn't open their eyes, they quickly stood up, and they didn't dare to let go of the fart and pulled up the cart and left.

After that, it took them only half a day to reach a white hill, and then they quickly began to work, and no one dared to drag or lazy.

In the Ruiwang Mansion in Xixian County, Pei Qing was assigning tasks.

"The news of the clay mine and the carboniferous mine is rewarded, and each message is ten taels of silver, and it will be paid on the spot after confirming that the news is true."

The limestone dug up first can be used to make soap, but if you want to make cement, you also need clay and coal slag.

This is where the power of the masses is mobilized.

She no longer has merit points in her hand to exchange for minerals, and the merit points must be recorded slowly before the nursery hall is built, and she can't just rely on the Ten Thousand Worlds trading system, but also has to open up other paths.

Fortunately, clay mines and coal mines are not uncommon, and depending on the topography of the nearby mountains and rivers, there should be two or several minerals.

As soon as her bounty was issued, it caused a sensation in the whole county, and as long as there were no people alive in their hands, they all went out of the city together to find clay and carboniferous mines.

Even if you need a group of ten people to find it in order to defend against the beasts of the outside world, everyone can still get a tael of silver when they come back!

Seeing that cement was just around the corner, Pei Qing's emotions were visibly rising.

When Li Yi came to her, he heard her humming a song, and although the tone was a little weird, it was very beautiful.

"The Huang family will send hundreds of people over in the next two days," he told her, "I have spread the news that the former county has taken in the girl for free, and in the past few days, there should be people in several nearby counties who have sent the girl who can't afford to raise the family over, and Huang Gongzi has sent someone to send 10,000 taels of silver." ”

Other news had already surprised Pei Qing, but the last news turned her surprise into doubt.

"This Huang Gongzi is too generous, right?" She said vigilantly, "For no reason, why did you send 10,000 taels again?" ”

The feudal town was very short of money, very, very short, but she didn't dare to accept free things casually—free things were often the most expensive.

The ancients said, "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief", this is what they said.

"Sending you money has provoked your suspicions?" Li Yi shook his head and sighed lightly.

Pei Qing straightened his color and told him: "Return the money to the Huang family, I can't accept his money for no reason." ”

Li Yi paused, his eyes swept over her peach blossom eyes and pursed lips tightly, and said lightly: "The recipe for that angelica bone broth ramen is worth this price, and besides, he also intends to do a medicinal herb business. ”

Pei Qing smiled slightly, lowered his head and thought about it.

When she didn't say anything, Li Yi stood with his hands in his hands and looked at her quietly.

Pei Qing has a lot of small movements, sometimes touching his ears, sometimes teasing his hair, sometimes biting his fingertips, and his eyebrows are stretched and wrinkled, vividly like a pool of living spring water.

Just watching her not speak can make people feel very happy.

"Okay, I'll accept it." Pei Qing finally made up her mind.

After thinking about it, she looked at Li Yi's eyes and added: "But you must tell him that in the future, the business in Xixian County will not be only done by his family, and I definitely can't put all my eggs in his basket." ”

Li Yi was amused by her analogy.

"The princess is always so wary?" He said calmly, "It's good, keep it up." ”

The corners of Pei Qing's mouth rose and fell, and she said coquettishly: "Then you still need to say it?" ”

Li Yi clasped his hands around his chest, stood two steps away from her, and nodded flatly.

Ever since he almost ripped off his scarf and kissed her at night, only to be dragged back to his senses by his loyal subordinates, he had been restraining himself from getting too close to her.

And Pei Qing doesn't seem to care about the influence she has caused, showing her delicate and lovely all the time, obviously she is not flirting with him, but he can't control his heartbeat and breathing.

"Why don't you speak?" I just heard her say delicately, "No, no, is our Instructor Li also the kind of narrow-minded ordinary man?" ”

As she spoke, she took a step towards him, intentionally or unconsciously.

Li Yi maintained the same posture just now and did not move.

Until Pei Qing circled around him at a leisurely pace, and stood in front of him again and looked at him.

"It's as if the princess could hear what was going on in my mind," he asked in a low voice, "what do you think I'm thinking right now?" ”

"The one that rings in your heart is called a heartbeat", Pei Qing was one step away from him, "What is ringing in your pocket, it's called Yinliang." ”

As she spoke, she took a step forward, consciously or unconsciously, and was close to him.

The breaths of the two men intertwined.
