"Sister Qiao, if only I were half as beautiful as you." The little girl with a yellow face and thin muscles sat by the well and washed her clothes, looking enviously at the person drying the clothes opposite.

Ah Qiao was expressionless, "What is there to envy?" No matter how good-looking you look, don't you have to work? ”

"So what's the same?" The little girl pursed her lips, "I heard them say that Sister Aqiao is going to be an aunt in a big family in the future, and when the time comes, she will not have to worry about eating and drinking, and she can wear beautiful clothes, how good it is." ”

"Snort." Ah Qiao laughed disdainfully, his eyes full of boredom, "Do you think it's good to be jealous with a group of women in the backyard?" ”

The little girl was stunned, as if she didn't understand, "Isn't it good?" They all say that if they have a husband, they will have a family, and when the time comes, they will have a son, and they will have a destiny for the rest of their lives. ”

"They say they say." Ah Qiao walked back and nodded her forehead with hatred of iron and steel, "Do you believe that they lied to you?" ”

She casually wiped the water on her hands at the hem of her clothes, looked at her soaked red hands and muttered: "I can settle accounts and be a housekeeper, if I were a man, I would have been a bookkeeper a long time ago, why not stumble in this broken yard, I can't even be a maid?" ”

The little girl seemed to understand, "Is it better to be a maid?" ”

Ah Qiao looked up to the sky and sighed without speaking.

Hiding in the shadows, Xia Xia whispered: "She's a thoughtful person, does Madame want to buy her?" But Young Master Li wants to buy her as an outer room, will we cause trouble for Master Hou if we openly rob people? ”

"What's the trouble?" Shen Lansui saw through the young master Li at a glance, "He's just a strong inward-looking, didn't the two of them say that there is a tigress in his family?" He is already weak in the matter of raising the outer room, and he is more afraid of making trouble than us. ”

It's also the case when you think about it.

"Ah Qiao, you said that you can write and calculate, it just so happens that there is a shortage of people in my house, are you willing to go with me?" Shen Lansui walked out, and the little girl and Ah Qiao were startled, but when they saw that it was a gorgeously dressed nobleman, they relaxed a little and looked curiously.

Ah Qiao looked at Shen Lansui suspiciously, "Miss wants to buy me?" Do you know about me? ”

"I know, that's why I asked, if you want, I'll take you away, if you don't want to, I won't force it."

Shen Lansui sighed in her heart as she spoke, this Aqiao girl is indeed pretty, and her pair of Danfeng eyes are like divine light, and she should be happy and hateful.

"Did you buy me to go back and be a maid?" Ah Qiao pursed her lips, a little nervous, but still said firmly: "Actually, my ability to settle accounts is also very good, if I can, I would prefer to take care of the accounts for Miss." ”

Shen Lansui likes brave people, this courage is especially rare in this era of constraints, and she is also willing to pull her, so she nodded and said: "What I lack is a person who takes care of accounts." ”

Ah Qiao's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously took a step forward, then stopped hesitantly, and his hands were twisted together, "Aren't you worried that I will cause trouble?" Most people are willing to use a male account room, and I'm afraid that my face will cause a lot of trouble. ”

"If I'm worried about this, how can I ask you?" Shen Lansui smiled indifferently, "Beautiful and innocent, even if you give birth to right and wrong, you are also a person with bad intentions, not to mention that these things haven't happened yet, haven't they?" ”

Ah Qiao looked at her in a daze, and reminded Xia Xian, "It's getting dark." ”

Ah Qiao came back to his senses, immediately knelt down, choked and kowtowed to Shen Lansui, "Miss Xie has mercy, Ah Qiao will not let Miss down!" ”

"Okay, come home with me."

Shen Lansui leaned over and helped her up.

……

"Madame, this ...... Who can't you pick this full of teeth, why did you just pick Ah Qiao? Ya Po stomped his feet in sorrow.

"What? Her deed of sale is no longer in your possession? Shen Lansui raised his eyebrows.

"Not really." Ya Po glanced at Ah Qiao complainingly, "It's just that this girl has already been decided, and the little one is just a businessman, so she can't afford to offend." ”

Ah Qiao glanced at Shen Lansui worriedly, and felt a chill in his heart.

"Since he didn't pay the money, anyone can buy it." Shen Lansui took out the silver and put it in Ya Po's hand, and said in a low voice: "If he comes to make trouble, you just let him go to the Rongguo Mansion." ”

Ya Po was startled, looked at Shen Lansui's beautiful eyes, and said with difficulty: "You, you, you are-"

Shen Lan was suier, "So, can you give me her deed of sale?" ”

Ya Po patted her thigh and smiled flatteringly, "Yes, the small one will go and get it for Madame!" ”

Ah Qiao was still a little incredulous when she teethed, but she didn't expect her to leave so easily.

She looked back at the door she thought was unavoidable, and suddenly realized that it was nothing extraordinary.

"Ma'am, did you buy another one?" Guanchun looked at her curiously, "Yo, I'm still a beauty." ”

Ah Qiao came back to her senses and owed her a debt, "Hello sister." ”

"Let's talk again, it's really getting dark this time."

Shen Lansui got into the carriage in front, and Ya Po specially drove two more carriages to load the people she bought.

Three carriages rushed to the Guogong Mansion.

When passing by the corner, Shen Lansui suddenly glanced into the alley on a whim, and it was so dark that the lanterns couldn't shine in.

She withdrew her gaze boredly and lowered the curtain.

When the carriage turned into the alley opposite, someone suddenly moved in the darkness.

"Master, Madame is back, aren't we leaving?"

Zhou Quan blew on the fire fold and lit the lamp in the carriage.

The warm light fell on Lu Xingyue's eyes, like a lake on a spring evening.

He raised his eyes and looked out through the raised curtain, the lantern on the corner of the street was swaying in the wind, and a few sneaky people followed Shen Lansui's carriage.

Lu Xingyue said in a deep voice: "Send someone to deal with those rats and send them to the Li Mansion." ”

Zhou Quan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Yes." ”

……

After Shen Lansui returned home, he asked Liuyan to find a place to settle people, and he would talk about it tomorrow, but when he returned to the room, he saw that Lu Xingyue had not come back yet.

"Zhou Quan is not there." Guanchun went out to look around and said.

"Xu is going to do something." Shen Lansui shook his neck, he was really tired from walking around this day.

"The food from the kitchen is here, will the lady eat first or wait for the son?"

Shen Lansui leaned on the couch to rest and shook his head: "Wait for him." ”

After all, I eat and drink here, and if I don't wait for others to eat, it's a bit too much.

But this wait is half an hour.

Lu Xingyue went to do something on the road again, and when he came back, he couldn't help but feel a little in a trance when he saw the lights of Pinglan Courtyard.

A thought suddenly came to me - someone was waiting for him at home.

When he entered the house, Xiangxia happened to come out with a new tea, and when he saw him, he immediately owed a debt, and said with a smile: "Childe is back, Madame is waiting for you to eat together." ”

Lu Xingyue paused, and there was a rare stunned expression on his face, "She hasn't eaten yet?" ”
