Zhu Yan stayed in Bofu for lunch, the two discussed to see if there were any gaps in the opening of Mingshang Pavilion the day before the opening, and after the discussion, Zhu Yan was about to leave, Geng Xingshuang sent people to the Hanging Flower Gate, watched Zhu Yan get into the carriage, and then turned around and walked back.

While walking, Geng Xingshuang was still a little puzzled, if Zhu Yan came to the mansion in the past, Geng Xingbing would always take Geng Xingyu to Qingcui Courtyard together, and Zhu Yan also complained that he didn't even have a chance to whisper something to her, which was really boring.

When Zhu Yan came today, the second uncle obviously saw her, and with his way of acting, he must have asked people to notify Geng Xingbing as soon as he turned around, and even if Geng Cheng didn't notify him, the housekeeper's wife would let him go to Yinghe Courtyard.

But today, Geng Xingbing did not appear.

Geng Xingshuang felt that since that day, Banjuan, Shen Shui and Xianglan were taken away by Yu Yapo, and then rescued separately, it was not only Shen Shui's identity change from a subordinate to a master, but also Geng Xingbing, she seemed to have changed a lot.

It's not as active as before, and the whole person is a lot quieter, as if even his personality has changed.

Could it be because of the sinking water, but it doesn't make sense, after all, the sinking water is just a concubine who doesn't have her own mother by her side, it makes sense to say that she has some influence on Geng Xingyu, who is also a concubine, but for Geng Xingbing, unless Geng Xingbing himself can't see it.

Geng Xingshuang shook his head, it shouldn't be, at that time, Shen Shui's identity was still Geng Xingyu who ran to Mrs. Bo to tell him, otherwise Shen Shui would not know where he was sold by Yu Yapo now.

"Oh, girl, I remember."

Geng Xingshuang just wanted to ask Jinbao if anything special had happened in Yinghe Courtyard recently, when he saw Jinbao suddenly stomp his foot and patted his forehead in annoyance.

"What do you remember?"

"Girl, that ...... It's all my fault, in fact, Sister Zhan and Sister Wu not only came by themselves, they also brought two people, but the two sisters didn't know martial arts, they had been on the road for such a long time, their faces were really bad, and they looked tired when they stood up, and the girl was talking to Miss Zhu at that time, and the slave maid took it upon herself to let them go and rest for a while, wash up and then meet the girl, but ...... But I accidentally forgot about them. ”

"Two more?"

Geng Xingshuang was surprised, last time Yang Tianmo's letter only said that two female guards who knew martial arts would come over, but did not say that four people would come.

"Well, those two sisters are older than Sister Zhan, about thirty years old, one surnamed Shu, the other surnamed Xu, Sister Shu is good at painting, Sister Xu is a good girl, they said that the sixth master has paid them for a year's salary first, let them follow Sister Zhan and Sister Wu to do things for the girl."

Jinbao was also surprised when he saw that there were four people in Zhanpei's party, so he inquired before leading people in.

"Let's go, let's go meet someone."

Geng Xingshuang heard this, excited, the Ming Pavilion to recruit female painters has been entrusted to Yaxing for several days, but there has been no news, Geng Xingshuang is still worried first, only on his own, can he supply the business after the opening of the Ming Shang Pavilion, just Zhu Yan also said, really no, she will buy a little girl with this talent now, ask a famous teacher to teach, she doesn't believe that she can't teach a female painter and female clothing designer who can take charge of herself.

As a result, just after they were ready to use the slowest method, Jinbao actually told her that Yang Tianmo had already helped her find someone and sent it over without her.

Geng Xingshuang almost couldn't believe that this kind of good thing of "stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to find, and it takes no effort to get it" actually happened.

Geng Xingshuang didn't go to his house to wait, but went with Jinbao to the room where Shu Pei and Wu Juan were ready to live.

The painting curtain didn't know that Jinbao didn't tell Geng Xingshuang about the painter and the embroiderer, and was cleaning up the dinner table at the moment, she accompanied the four of them just after lunch, and when they saw Geng Xingshuang coming in person, everyone saluted.

"Girl, why are you here? Isn't it ......"

Geng Xingshuang waved his hand, and the curtain immediately stopped talking.

Geng Xingshuang was about to ask the four of them about the situation along the way, and how the female painter and embroiderer were invited to Ningdu by Yang Tianmo, but saw Wu Juan turn around and take out a letter from her baggage.

"Girl, this is what Yun Liugongzi asked me to hand over, saying that you will know after reading the letter."

When she saw Geng Xingshuang before, Wu Juan was so excited that she forgot about it.

Geng Xingshuang took the letter, but her eyes were still looking at the other two women.

"I guess, this sister should be Sister Shu, who is good at painting, and this is Sister Xu, who is very good at embroidery."

Shu Qunxian and Xu Ying glanced at each other and nodded, "The girl guessed very accurately, my surname is Shu, my maiden name is Qunxian, I have been painting since elementary school, and I am good at drawing pictures of ladies, Yang Gongzi told me that the girl has opened a ready-to-wear shop, and a painter is needed to paint all kinds of clothes, I feel that I can, and I have also passed Yang Gongzi's examination, girl, why don't I draw a picture now?" ”

Xu Ying immediately picked it up, "Girl, I'll embroider an embroidery now." ”

They consciously took Yang Tanmo's expensive salary, and they always had to get the approval of their fiancées, so that they could get peace of mind, and only in this way could this salary continue after a year.

Geng Xingshuang naturally nodded in agreement, and when Shu Qunxian and Xu Ying went down to prepare, she looked at Zhan Pei and Wu Juan.

She asked Wu Juan first, "Sister Wu is from the Wucheng Dart Bureau?" ”

Wu Juan nodded, "Wu Biao is my eldest brother, and I am really impatient to stay in Pingcheng, so Yun Liu ...... Gongzi said that he wanted to invite someone to come to Ningdu to protect the girl, not to mention that Yunliu Gongzi would give silver, even if he didn't give silver, as long as I came to Ningdu, I would be happy to come. ”

Then, Zhan Pei also introduced herself, it turned out that she was originally the guard of Lan Pingwei's command of Lord Fang's family, but because Lord Fang was demoted to Cang Hanwei for some reason.

"Because Hancheng is located in the northernmost part of Daning, the environment is harsh, and it is extremely cold, so my eldest brother didn't let me go, invited the grace of adults, and helped me redeem myself, I wanted me to find a family in Pingcheng to marry, after all, I am not young, but I look at the family that my stepmother helped me find, so I feel that it is better to go to other people's guards, even if it is to serve the old man, there is also a salary, I didn't expect me to be very lucky, I used to know Sister Wu, she recommended me to Yun Liugongzi, Yun Liugongzi took the school after me, and let me come with Sister Wu, Being able to serve the girl is a good thing that I can only meet when I am lucky, and I will do my best to protect the girl's safety. ”

Geng Xingshuang looked at Zhanpei's young and somewhat vicissitudes of life with a firm look on her face, she believed in her straightforward but not simple promise.

"He also paid you for a year?"

Geng Xingshuang asked.

Zhanpei and Wu Juan shook their heads, and before Geng Xingshuang could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard them say: "After paying three years' wages, the two of us have a total of one hundred and fifty taels together." ”

Well, that person is rich, Geng Xingshuang knows it, but he paid three years' wages at once, which not only seems to be rich, but also means that Yang Tianmo trusts Zhanpei and Wu Juan very much.

She is also very relieved to use such a person.

"Do you want to rest for a day, or do you want to ......"

"Girl, we don't need to rest, if there is any work, you can send it to us now, and it just so happens that we can take this opportunity to get acquainted with Ningdu."

Seeing their radiant appearance, it was indeed not like they were tired, Geng Xingshuang did not object, and asked Jinbao to lead them to the outer courtyard to find the bamboo sword, and the three of them went to Mingshang Pavilion to find Cao Tian together, and asked Cao Tian to tell them what to do now.

After all, although Cao Tian didn't find anything, he still knew a lot about what Geng Xingshuang needed to inquire about most now.
