The Shang family, father and son, were highly used under Yang Chengying.

His father, Shang Xueli, served as a baggage officer, traveling back and forth between Jinzhou and Port Arthur, and was responsible for the transportation and distribution of grain and grass baggage.

The two sons Shang Kejin and Shang Kexi are both by Yang Chengying's side.

Yang Chengying did not let their brothers do chores, but taught strategy and tactics, which obviously meant that they were used as preparations and reused in the future.

Among the two brothers, Shang Kexi's heart is the most lively.

He noticed that Yang Chengying looked at the maid behind the eldest lady of the Tian family, and his eyes were a little special. So I kept an eye on it and investigated it secretly.

The maid's name is Tian Yingniang, and she is the personal maid of Tian E, the eldest lady of the Tian family.

Tian E can't talk about how good she is, but it's not bad either.

Later, more than half of the Tian family's land was divided, and Tian Chonggui lost a lot of gold and silver treasures in order to deal with Yang Chengying, which led to the poor life of Tianfu.

As a last resort, Tian Chonggui allowed the servants in the house to be redeemed at a low price.

Tian Yingniang's parents pooled money and ransomed their daughter from Tianfu.

Knowing this, he was afraid that Tian Yingniang would go to another house, so Shang Kexi hurriedly found an excuse and told Yang Chengying.

In fact, Yang Chengying just simply took a look.

Imagine a rural village woman who traveled from modern society to the end of the Ming Dynasty and faced men for several months, or had a thin face and yellow muscles, and accidentally met a young and somewhat beautiful girl, and couldn't help but take a look at it.

That's how a normal man reacts.

I don't want to be misunderstood by Shang Kexi.

And the reason why Yang Chengying agreed was mainly because he urgently needed a cook who could help with hot meals at any time.

Due to his busy work, he has been eating cold rice and cold dishes for several days in a row.

After Shang Kexi got Yang Chengying's consent, he happily took some gifts and walked into the somewhat messy streets.

It was a small courtyard with two entrances.

Don't look at this small courtyard, the living conditions are better than most of the people in Jinzhou.

Tian Yingniang's parents opened a small shop and barely survived by buying and selling groceries.

After Shang Ke was overjoyed, he stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker.

Smack, smack, smack!

"Who?"

Inside the door, a voice like a silver bell sounded.

After listening carefully, Shang Kexi knew that the person in the door was Tian Yingniang.

"Excuse me, is this Tian Rong's home?" Shang Kexi still asked politely.

However, after Shang Kexi said this, the door was suddenly silent.

Shang Kexi knocked a few more times, "What about people, open the door!" I have something to talk to the head of the household! ”

Crunch......

A small square window suddenly appeared on the door, and a round face of a young girl appeared in the window.

The face was white and flawless, white and red. It's just that the two slender eyebrows are slightly furrowed, and the eyes are full of doubt.

"Looking for a householder? My dad is in the store, you can go straight to him. Tian Yingniang said.

"I have to ask for your consent in advance, so I can go to Ling Zun to discuss." Shang Kexi said in a flattering tone, "If you don't have your approval, it's useless for me to look for your father." ”

Unexpectedly, Tian Yingniang thought about it, thinking that Shang Kexi was coming to his house to tell her a matchmaker, and said with a blushing face: "Ah? It's up to your parents to decide this, so what's the use of you and me. ”

With that, she was so ashamed that she closed the window.

"Hey!"

Shang Kexi stood at the door with an embarrassed face.

He saw that there were many people on the left and right sides who were looking at the lively people, and he didn't want to make the matter known to everyone, so he had to carry a gift and go to the grocery store to discuss with Tian Yingniang's father.

It was almost dark, and Tian Rong rushed home.

As soon as he entered, he saw the daughter-in-law of the family holding her little son.

The son is still a milk doll, his little eyes are closed tightly, and he sleeps soundly.

The doll shouldn't have gone to bed so early, and if she went to bed early, she would have to make trouble in the middle of the night. But a child is a child, and when he wants to sleep, his eyes are closed, and he sleeps heartlessly.

You can't wake him up yet, or yawn and it won't sound like a thing.

However, Tian Rong's mind today is not on his son for the first time.

Instead of hugging his son first thing when he entered the house as usual, he went straight to the kitchen to find his daughter who was cooking in the kitchen.

Before he walked out of the main hall, Tian Yingniang walked in quickly with a big bowl of wild vegetable soup, and after putting it on the table, she quickly pinched her earlobe.

"Dad, get ready to eat."

Tian Yingniang said while placing the dishes and chopsticks.

Tian Rong walked over and asked, "A young man came to our house at noon to look for you, isn't it?" ”

"yes." Tian Yingniang's face showed a hint of crimson, "He said something inexplicable to me, I didn't open the door for him because there was no one at home." ”

"That young man is a subordinate of Yang Chengying, who actually manages Jinzhou, and he came to our house on the order of Yang Chengying, and wants to hire you to be a maid in his house."

After Tian Rong finished speaking, Tian Yingniang was slightly stunned, it turned out that this was the case.

Seeing his daughter's thoughtful expression, Tian Rong asked, "Would you like to go?" ”

"Dad, my daughter listens to her father." Tian Yingniang turned around and went into the kitchen.

Tian Rong sighed, he didn't want his daughter to command the envoy.

The reason is very simple, the tenure of the command envoy is long and short, and it will eventually leave, and Tianfu lives in Jinzhou.

At present, Yang Chengying has a bad relationship with Tian Fu, and he has become a maid in Yang Chengying's house, and when Yang Chengying leaves, Tian Yingniang will leave. If you want to go back to Tianfu, it is impossible.

Tian Fu's salary is very expensive, if it weren't for the calculation of an account, the cost of hiring a cook was far greater than the money to redeem his daughter, Tian Rong would not have ransomed his daughter from Tian Fu.

However, Yang Chengying is not a good stubble, and they dare to do so many things that are unpopular in the world, and they can't afford to offend.

"Ouch, that's a big deal." Tian Yingniang's mother, Sun, thought about it, and suddenly exclaimed: "You are in charge, do you have a crush on my daughter?" ”

Tian Rong, who was deep in thought, was taken aback.

While stroking his heart, he scolded: "What are you thinking about? If he is interested in our daughter, he will directly come to the door to propose marriage, or even use robbery, why use the excuse of hiring a maid. ”

"That's right. These soldiers were only stronger than the bandits before, and Yang Chengying estimated that they were only a little stronger than those military masters. Sun said worriedly.

In her mind, the Command Envoy is like a wolf's den.

"Dad, mother, don't think about it!"

Tian Yingniang came back quickly with a bowl of wowotou mixed with coarse grains, weeds, and fine soil.

There was a determination in her bright eyes, "My daughter is willing to serve Yang Chengying, and I can't offend that kind of tyrannical person because of my daughter." ”

Tian Rong said with a debt in his heart: "Daughter, the lives of our family all fall on your shoulders. ”

At this, he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Dad, don't think so." Tian Yingniang comforted him and said, "Actually, Yang Chengying and I had a chance to meet. Helped the eldest lady go to the vegetable market to pick vegetables, and accidentally bumped into him. ”

"At that time, I heard someone call him 'Adult', and I knew that he was Yang Chengying, but he didn't identify himself to me, so I pretended not to hear. I didn't mention it to anyone, including the eldest lady. ”

After hearing what his daughter said, Tian Rong's mind came alive, thinking, Yang Cheng shouldn't really like my daughter, right?

As he was thinking, a familiar voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Is Yingniang at home?"

"It's Miss!" Tian Yingniang exclaimed.
