Seeing Xiao Zhige walking towards the main room with his spear, Zhou Helan hesitated for a while, and then raised his heels.
Although he couldn't figure out why he offended the prince for a while, but these days after entering the palace, he also saw that the king of the Northern War was not as brutal and unreasonable as the rumors outside. And now that he is the concubine's person, with the prince's importance to the concubine, no matter what, he cannot go beyond the concubine to deal with him.
With his heart settled, Zhou Helan's footsteps became more and more brisk, and followed Xiao Zhige to the main room.
An Changqing just changed his clothes. Today, he is wearing a moon-white dark-patterned brocade robe, which is still the clothes sent by Tianyifang. Although it is not a precious material, the tailoring and workmanship are very meticulous. The winter brocade robes are filled with cotton wool, which makes them look bloated. However, this moon-white brocade robe was properly closed at the waist, and was tied with a belt that was slightly darker than the moon-white color. Even in winter, it could show a somewhat suave attitude. Originally carefully tailored, and now worn by An Changqing, it highlights the magnifying effect, and every move is full of romance.
Xiao Zhige glanced at him silently, his eyes swept over Zhou Helan, who was waiting with his hands down, and his tone did not fluctuate: "I'm going to cook porridge again today?"
"No." An Changqing straightened the jade pendant around his waist, and smiled: "Yesterday, the recruitment list was posted to recruit managers, and there were many people who revealed the list. Today, I will go to the shop to select people."
After the former steward and his associate confessed their crimes, they were sent to the government together with their confessions. Now that there is no one in the Yifang today, An Changqing and Zhou Helan are still in charge for the time being. But this shop can't be short of people, and An Changqing and Zhou Helan can't just spend it on this shop, so they simply took the opportunity to post a recruitment list to recruit people.
After Xiao Zhige heard the words, he was silent, and said, "I'll go with you."
Um? An Changqing looked at him in surprise, frowning in embarrassment. Looking at Xiao Zhige's cold face, An Changqing was actually reluctant to take him to the shop. Just imagine that he was recruiting people, Xiao Zhige sat there with a cold face, and those who came to apply would probably be scared away.
But some words can't be said too bluntly. An Changqing rolled his eyes and said, "Is your lord okay today? I'm afraid that the chores in the shop will not be done in a while today."
The implication is that things in the shop take a lot of time, and it is better for the lord to be busy with other things first.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhige nodded when he heard it, and said expressionlessly: "It's okay, let's go."
An Changqing: "..."
Seeing that he was guarding the side like a doorman, An Changqing was silent, and had to take him and Zhou Helan to Tianyifang together.
There were already a lot of people waiting at the door of Tian. Yifang. There were more applicants than he expected. An Changqing asked An Fu to open the shop door and let people in first to wait, and then he and Xiao Zhige and Zhou Helan took a step behind. go in.
The person who was rubbing his hands in the shop and talking in a low voice subconsciously smiled when he saw An Changqing who came in first. He was about to take the opportunity to say a few words to the princess, but he caught a glimpse of Xiao Zhige who was half a step behind. . The corners of everyone's mouth froze when they were half-raised, and they all fell silent.
It was as if a group of quails had seen their natural enemies, their heads bowed and their hands lowered, not daring to breathe loudly.
An Changqing's mouth twitched, which was why he didn't want to bring Xiao Zhige here. But the matter has come to this point, everyone has already sat on the side, and it is useless to say anything. An Changqing had to pretend that everything was business as usual and let An Fu collect everyone's resumes first.
There were fifteen people who came to apply for management. An Changqing read the resumes of these fifteen people in turn, but only five met the requirements. Due to the fact that Tianyifang has made a mistake once, An Changqing has higher requirements for stewards. Therefore, in the end, only these five people were left, and Zhou Helan would conduct the assessment, and then select the most suitable candidate.
The five people who were left behind were still very happy at first, but after the start of the assessment, they felt the icy gaze of the prince sitting above him from time to time sweeping over.
After finally finishing the assessment, the five of them breathed a sigh of relief and exchanged glances with each other, all helpless and sad.
- I didn't see the prince coming a few days ago, why did they catch up today? They were so frightened that they didn't dare to talk to the princess, it was really unfortunate.
King Bei Zhan, who was sitting high above, didn't know that he was disliked by others. He didn't intervene in the shop, and he couldn't intervene at this time. He just sat aside and listened to An Changqing and Zhou Helan discussing which person was more suitable.
The two have their own preference for candidates. Zhou Helan has always been unafraid to speak out when it comes to business affairs. Even in the face of An Changqing at this time, he still tries his best to persuade An Changqing. An Changqing also insisted on his own opinion. The debate between the two of them, the two of them, seemed to be a superfluous ornament.
Xiao Zhige's icy gaze swept over Zhou Helan several times, and pursed his lips quietly.
At the end of the debate, each of them took a step back and compromised. Both of them had to be both deputy managers and jointly run Tianyifang. Afterwards, the one who did better would be promoted to manager.
On the way back, An Changqing was quite happy. Today's debate with Zhou Helan inspired him again. Not only can the two stewards supervise each other, but the trained stewards can even be transferred to other shops, so every two years It is better to mobilize and promote a group of people than to let some stewards hold the power for a long time and gradually breed their ambitions.
Xiao Zhige saw that he was still thinking about the shop while sitting on the carriage, and a deep ravine formed between the two black eyebrows: "There is a candy shop in front of me that sells pine nut candy."
"Huh?" An Changqing stopped his thoughts and looked up at him suspiciously.
Xiao Zhige: "I heard it's delicious, I'll buy it for you."
"Who said that?" An Changqing asked curiously. He has long felt strange that Xiao Zhige is not a person with a heavy appetite, but he can always buy him all kinds of delicious food every time.
"subordinate."
King Bei Zhan cherished his words like gold, seeing his clear eyes finally only looking at himself, the folds between his brows were much gentler: "Do you want to eat?"
"Eat." An Changqing looked at him with a smile: "Will the lord eat with me?"
Xiao Zhige sat upright with his hands on his knees, still looking majestic, but at this time he did not hesitate to answer the princess's words: "En."
…
Because he was going to buy pine nut candies, the driver turned to another road, and when he passed through an alley, he vaguely heard a suppressed quarrel.
"Is the child in Jiaoying's belly yours?"
"What if it's mine?"
"How dare you? That's mine!"
The quarrelling people didn't notice the carriage coming on the other road, and kept arguing in a low voice, but An Changqing keenly caught the word "Jiaoying", he got up and lifted the curtain, motioned the driver to stop, and then called to An Fu. A wink, let him look at the other side.
The two continued to quarrel, and the middle-aged man looked like he couldn't get in. "If you hadn't hid the person in the nunnery, I would have carried the person in the door long ago."
"Gene Era"
"It just happens that my seed is broken in my stomach. Pick an auspicious day and carry it in the door, maybe it will give me a big fat boy."
The younger man gasped for breath and said after a while, "Uncle Six, don't deceive people too much!"
The man called Sixth Uncle sneered: "Grab someone with me, you are still a little tender. Don't you know? That Xiaolanghozi's husband was played by me before he died, so you are still the one. baby… "
The two quarreled and parted ways. The young man seemed to be very angry, and kicked the wall viciously before leaving.
After watching the whole process, An Fu cautiously returned, with a strange expression: "It's the fourth son of Wu and the sixth master of the Zhongyong Houfu..."
Marquis Zhongyong had five brothers, but only one younger brother, Xingliu, known as "Master Six".
The fourth son of Wu was the concubine of the Hou Zhongyong, Wu Junshu.
An Changqing recalled the Jiaoying they mentioned when they were arguing. Obviously, Wu Junshu already knew about Jiaoying's pregnancy, and what Jiaoying was carrying was not his seed, but his sixth uncle's seed.
The uncle and nephew hid in this corner just to fight for a widow.
Thinking of Wu Junshu's dignified appearance on weekdays, An Changqing's eyes burned with anger. This man actually killed his sister for the sake of such a widow who committed adultery with his uncle, and finally helped her to become the main lady.
This is simply a joke of the world! Uncle and nephew are fighting for a daughter, this is the Zhongyonghou mansion with a clean family style
With anger burning in his chest, An Changqing gritted his teeth and said word by word, "Find a chance to get this out of the way."
He wanted to see if Wu Junshu still had the face to marry his sister when this happened!
***
Maybe even God couldn't get used to the dirty affairs of Zhongyong Hou's mansion. Before An Changqing could find a chance to stab things out, he heard Tiehu quickly report back, saying that the nunnery outside the city had been set on fire.
The fire was set by that mad woman.
"Where's Jiaoying?"
"Jiaoying happened to be outside at that time and escaped the disaster."
This is really when someone handed you a pillow, An Changqing pondered for a while, and then said, "Tell someone to report the letter to the Hou Zhongyong Mansion, and by the way, go to the official, and make sure to bring the official there."
Iron Tiger led the way. An Changqing called An Fu to prepare a car again and went to the nunnery outside the city in person.
When An Changqing arrived, the fire in the nunnery had just been extinguished, and the nunnery, which had been neat and tidy, was scorched black, leaving only the broken walls. In the midst of the ruins, a mad woman ran around waving her hands, shouting: "The fox spirit is dead, the fox spirit is dead, son, mother will avenge you..."
The villagers around her were watching her in twos and threes, but no one dared to step forward.
The groom picked an inconspicuous spot and parked the carriage. An Changqing looked through the curtain of the carriage and saw Jiaoying clutching her stomach and huddled aside. Seeing that, she was afraid that the mad woman would find her.
An Changqing stared at her coldly, silently calculating when the other two would arrive.
As he was thinking about it, he saw a carriage approaching fast, and before it could stop, a man in his thirties or forties jumped out of the carriage, anxiously shouting "Jiaoying". His expression was so urgent that he didn't even care about the villagers' pointing.
When Jiao Ying shrank aside, her tears fell first when she saw him, and she stood up tremblingly and called out "Six Master".
Wu Liu hurried over, carefully helped her up, and looked up and down: "Is the child okay? Did you hurt the child?"
Jiaoying clutched her stomach, and said timidly and fearfully, "No, I'll take good care of our child..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice called out hesitantly, "...Jiaoying?"
Jiaoying's body froze, and she pushed Wu Liu away subconsciously. She turned her head to look at the person who called her, her face changed several times, and finally settled into a twisted and somewhat weird ugly expression: "Four, Shiro, why are you here..."
