Wen Ping is a general, and it is also a happy thing that he can completely submit to Liu Bei.

Zhang Xi has no opinion on Wen Ping's defense of Sanjiangkou, after all, Wen Ping is a relatively rare general in the Jingzhou army, and he leads the army to guard Echeng and guard Sanjiangkou, Zhang Xi is not to mention how relieved.

On the historical line, Wen Ping once scared off Sun Quan's sneak attack when there was a serious shortage of troops, although this was when Wen Ping was a general of the Cao Army and guarded the northern part of Jiangxia.

But Wen was hired in Echeng, and Zhang Xi had an inexplicable sense of security.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it seems that Sun Quan is really . As long as he personally leads the army, it feels like he hasn't won a single battle except for the Battle of the Whiskers, and it seems that there is a debuff that specializes in making others famous.

Zhang Liaowei shook Xiaoyaojin not to mention, Jiang Ji also got a reputation as a soldier because of scaring Sun Quan away, and Wen Ping was praised by Cao Cao as a loyal and good man in the world because of Zhang Liao, full of favor, Wang Ling, and because he repelled Sun Quan, he was considered by Cao Wei to be a civil and military all-rounder.

SUN 100,000. Good guys.

After learning about the current defense situation in Jiangxia with Guan Yu, Zhang Xi said goodbye and left and returned to his mansion in Jiangxia.

This mansion, since Liu Beitun lived in Xiakou and gave Zhang Xi as a residence, Zhang Xi didn't live for a few days, and soon went to Jiangdong with Zhuge Liang, and now, he hasn't come back for more than a year.

It's a good thing to go home, but there is a little bit of a bad doorman newcomer, I don't know Zhang Xi at all, and Zhang Xi has to report to his own house, so that he can enter his own door.

As soon as Zhang Xi went home, Xiao Qibao and Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba all came out to kneel to greet him.

"Welcome home!"

Xiao Qibao, with Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba taking the lead, followed by the ten subordinates who Liu Qi had rewarded Zhang Xi at the beginning, Qi Shuai knelt at the gate to welcome Zhang Xi home.

"What is this for. Hurry up! Zhang Xi looked at the kneeling person quite uncomfortably, then turned his head to see Xiao Qibao, frowned and said, "Qibao, I told you a long time ago, there is no need for this, why don't you let everyone get up quickly?!" ”

It's not that Zhang Xi doesn't let everyone greet him, but the question is, so many people are kneeling at the door, what does this look like?!

"The master has been fighting outside all the year round, and now he has returned home in triumph, and the villains should welcome each other." Xiao Qibao replied as he got up and leaned into Zhang Xi's ear and said, "Master, this is the dignity of a big family, and it is also respectful and orderly. Today is different from the past, and now there are a lot of people in the house, and it is inevitable that there are some treacherous people, who are not suppressed with dignity and humility, for fear that there will be disasters in the future, and I hope that the master will think twice. ”

After listening to this, Zhang Xi was really silent.

As Liu Bei's power is getting bigger and bigger, Zhang Xi's status is also rising, and it is no longer Xinye's time, renting a house, and four people can live a life as soon as the door is closed.

At this time, Zhang Xi is not the time when he has just crossed over, he knows the importance of the rules of this era, and he knows that the decency of this year is not for himself, but for others to see.

It doesn't matter if you don't want to be decent, but this will affect the reputation of Liu Bei Group, and it will also affect the relationship with colleagues. Although it is not appropriate to say this, Di Qing is a good example.

But Fan Diqing agreed to clean the inscriptions on his face, and when he turned around, Song Renzong sent him a fellow jinshi again, maybe he would not be so squeezed out of the civil official group A group of scholars with gold list titles mixed with a big head soldier with inscriptions on his face, what do you make those arrogant civil officials think.

Therefore, Zhang Xi did not object to Xiao Qibao's suggestion this time, but accepted the arrangement made by Xiao Qibao with peace of mind.

Now Xiao Qibao is also nineteen years old, and more and more of a housekeeper should have the momentum, this arrangement, I feel like I am almost beating gongs and drums to tell the neighbors in all directions that the lord of the family is back.

Zhang Xi enjoyed the treatment of a feudal landlord in this era under the arrangement of Xiao Qibao, and at night he politely sent Xiao Ba out of his bedroom.

Good guy, just came back, Hachi ran to his bedroom again, what are you doing?

Hachi is sixteen years old this year and is slowly growing. Isn't this testing Zhang Xi's concentration?

In fact, Hachi is also very aggrieved.

As the first maid to follow Zhang Xi, three years ago Zhang Xi disliked her young age and was a yellow-haired girl, but now that she has grown up, she can sleep.

Mo is not. The owner dislikes her?! Think she's not pretty enough?!

Xiaoba was very aggrieved, and cried all night for this, so that Xiaoqi couldn't sleep well, so he had to go to Xiao Qibao and ask Xiao Qibao to help ask if the lord disliked Xiaoba.

Then Little Qibao went to ask.

Zhang Xi listened to an inexplicable little eight who was only sixteen years old, you beasts.

"Master, Xiaoba is already sixteen years old, if the master dislikes Xiaoba's ugly appearance and is unbearable to sleep, the servant will transfer Xiaoba to the back kitchen to do things, and replace the master with a beautiful maid. I only hope that the master will look at the old love and take care of Xiaoba. Xiao Qibao was aggrieved and said to Zhang Xi.

Zhang Xi was puzzled and said, "When did I say that Xiaoba's appearance is ugly. Eh, I said, Little Shippo, what do you mean?! You don't think you have Xiaoqi, and you still think about Xiaoba?! ”

Xiao Qibao knelt down for Zhang Xi on the spot, and kowtowed again and again and said that he didn't dare.

Good guy, Zhang Xi is even more depressed.

"You get up for me!" Zhang Xi scolded Xiao Qibao and said, "You also kneel for a joke?!" ”

Xiao Qibao suddenly didn't dare, hurriedly got up, and stood beside Zhang Xi again.

Zhang Xi looked at Xiao Qibao, who was still frightened, with a straight face, and reprimanded him dissatisfiedly, "Little Qibao, you and I have known each other since childhood, and we have known each other for ten years. In the past, when they left Yingchuan, the two supported each other, and today, although they are called master and servant, they are actually like brothers. Yesterday you said that there are many people in the house, and you have to establish rules and be cunning, and I think it's good to hear it. But you have to remember that the purpose of the rules is to suppress treachery, not to make you and me dislike each other, if so, don't be decent! ”

Xiao Qibao suddenly lowered his head and was silent, silently snorting.

"Okay, don't cry yet, talk about Hachi!" Zhang Xi patted Xiao Qibao's shoulder, changed the atmosphere, put on a smiling face, and said to Xiao Qibao, "Xiao Ba is my maid, and I have never disliked her. But it's not a problem to keep drilling into my room! ”

Xiao Qibao raised his head slightly, wiped a handful of tears, and said, "But master, Xiao Ba is a maid, and the maid has the responsibility of sleeping in the maid." ”

“.”

This evil feudal society.

"I'm not saying that I won't let Hachi sleep, the key is that you see, Hachi is only sixteen years old, right, don't be so anxious about this." Zhang Xi said again.

"But master, Hachi is already an adult. And there is no housewife in the family, Xiaoba, as a maid, naturally has the responsibility of opening up branches and leaves for the master, this is a big deal, and the master must not shirk. Little Qibao continued to persuade.

"It's not. You people, why do you think about all these things in your head?! Zhang Xizhen didn't understand it anymore and said, "It's not that I don't like Xiaoba, it's not that Xiaoba is not beautiful, let's say something that makes you unhappy, Xiaobachang is much more beautiful than Xiaoqi. The key is not this, do you know, this kind of thing requires an emotional foundation, and if you suddenly come out like this, it is difficult for him to accept it. Uh, I said, do you understand?! ”

Little Qibao shook his head very simply, and said, "Master, the servant is dull and doesn't understand. ”

"Why don't you understand?!" Zhang Xi was anxious and said, "This kind of thing, as men, we are responsible, right?!" What Hachi's thoughts are, we have to ask, right?! Although Xiaoba grew up watching us, this blind marriage and dumb marriage are not."

"Isn't the master overly worried?!" Xiao Qibao hurriedly said, "Xiao Hachi is just a maid, and she has the responsibility of serving and sleeping, how can you say that she is married?!" In the future, there will be a master mother in the house, if the master pities Xiaoba, he can raise her as a concubine, if he doesn't care, he can stay by his side as a maid, which is already Xiaoba's blessing. ”

“.”

Again, you evil lackeys of the feudal landlord class.

"Besides, now the status of Xiao Ba Mansion is quite embarrassing" Xiao Qibao glanced at Zhang Xi's face, and finally decided to continue, "This matter is all to blame on the servants, if it weren't for the matter between the servants and Xiao Qi, Xiao Ba would not be in a hurry."

Well?! What kind of statement is this?!

Could it be that those newcomers still dare to bully their seniors?!

Zhang Xi didn't understand, and then Xiao Qibao could only break these things in the house and tell Zhang Xi the truth.

As the first batch of maids to enter the mansion, Xiaoqi Xiaoba is also the only designated maid of Zhang Xi at present, and she should have a good status in the mansion.

But because Zhang Xi has been fighting abroad all the year round, the new people in the mansion can't even see Zhang Xi's face, and naturally they don't have any awe for Zhang Xi's maids.

Fortunately, Xiao Qibao is the identity of a housekeeper, he is born with a class advantage, and he manages the entire mansion, and he can slowly accumulate some prestige.

But Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba, there are really few new subordinates who regard them as Zhang Xi's maids.

The reason is simple, this is Zhang Xi's responsibility.

If it weren't for Zhang Xi who was in charge and agreed to Xiao Qibao and Xiao Qi to fall in love, Xiao Ba's status would still have a bit of a deterrent.

But Xiao Qi, as Zhang Xi's maid, can fall in love with the housekeeper, so in the eyes of other subordinates, it means that Zhang Xi doesn't pay attention to these two so-called maids at all.

Xiao Qi can still be covered by Xiao Qibao, and the subordinates dare not offend, but Xiao Ba's situation is uncomfortable.

This is also the reason why as soon as Zhang Xi came back, Xiaoba went to Zhang Xi's bedroom.

But Zhang Xi politely sent Xiaoba out last night, if this is spread to the ears of other subordinates, Xiaoba's status will be even more finished.

Zhang Xi had a headache when he heard it.

As a good young man in the new era who doesn't watch any palace fighting dramas, Zhang Xi really doesn't like such a miasma in his house.

But this era is like this, if you don't think about it, it doesn't mean that others won't think about Xiaohachi, it's really not easy.

So, Zhang Xi asked Xiao Qibao for advice, how to solve this matter.

Little Shippo's suggestion is to include Little Eight in the room.

It is not necessary to give the rank of Xiaohachi now, but at least let the people know the status of Xiaoba.

And as a maid, it was originally the duty of Xiaoba.

When Zhang Xi heard this, he immediately knocked Xiao Qibao's head as a punishment.

Hachi-hochi is only sixteen years old, okay.

And speaking of which

"Oh, by the way, I'm asking you!" Zhang Xi suddenly looked at Xiao Qibao and said, "I told you before, let you take care of your little brother, you didn't do anything out of the ordinary with Xiao Qi, right?!" ”

Zhang Xi is obviously changing the topic, and he doesn't want to get entangled in Xiaoba's affairs.

And Xiao Qibao is also very cooperative, mainly when it comes to this, Xiao Qibao himself is also aggrieved.

"The master has not broken up, how dare the servant," Little Qibao said aggrievedly.

So Zhang Xi doesn't understand, why is this related to himself again?!

Who are you with, is it so important to have a child?!
