The next morning, when Jiang Yunzhu got up, He Ying had already prepared hot water for her.
Jiang Yunzhu brushed her teeth, and He Ying took this opportunity to tidy up the room for her. She washed her face, and He Ying handed her a towel...
Soon, Jiang Yunzhu felt that it was really good to have someone help with the work.
She just tacitly agreed that He Ying would stay with her.
He Ying regarded Jiang Yunzhu as her savior and paid great attention to everything about her, so she naturally took care of her in every possible way.
The tea was not cold yet. Jiang Yunzhu had already had County Magistrate Meng's calligraphy framed and hung in the most conspicuous place in the store.
At this moment, she leaned on the counter and looked at the words.
At this time, He Ying brought her a cup of tea. The tea was neither hot nor cold, just the right temperature.
He Ying was thoughtful. Jiang Yunzhu had worked as a maid for several years in her dreams, so she certainly knew the difference between doing one's best and being passive and slacking off.
At this time, Shen Fengming came in from behind and stood behind the counter, as if he had encircled Jiang Yunzhu again.
Jiang Yunzhu has gotten used to the fact that he likes to stand behind the counter in the past two days.
While drinking the tea in her hand, she suddenly thought, Shen Fengming must be surrounded by people in the Shen Mansion, but when it comes to her, does she have to do everything by herself
Now she has her own maid... "Do you need anyone?" she asked him.
She leaned there leisurely, sipping tea in small sips. The tea touched her lips, making them moist.
Shen Fengming looked at her lips and suddenly wanted to drink tea.
Jiang Yunzhu seemed to have sensed something and said to He Ying, "Pour another cup of tea."
He Ying quickly poured another cup of tea and brought it to Shen Fengming.
Shen Fengming took it but didn't drink it. He leaned against the counter with Jiang Yunzhu holding the teacup. He understood what Jiang Yunzhu meant by the question she asked him just now. In fact, he didn't need anyone to serve him, but he looked at He Hong...
He Hong was wiping the table at this time. After Jiang Yunzhu bought him and He Ying yesterday, she bought each of them a new set of clothes. He Hong's clothes were indigo blue. This dark-colored clothes made him look even more unkempt. Coupled with his flamboyant looks, it was easy for people to lower their defense against him.
But Shen Fengming knew that he had killed someone.
Yesterday, Jiang Yunzhu brought the two back. He Ying was fine, but He Hong, based on his intuition, felt that there was something wrong with him. He immediately asked someone to check on the two siblings.
This morning, the guards reported that these two people were originally the children of a wealthy family in Raoquan County, Changfeng Prefecture. There was a drought in the area, and a few days ago, the victims rioted, robbed the He family, and beat Mr. He to death. The two had no choice but to follow their mother out to escape the disaster.
Neither of them, including their mother, had ever suffered any hardship. However, during their escape from the disaster, they saw all the ups and downs in the world and suffered countless setbacks.
Because of their good looks, when they were about to leave Changfeng Prefecture, they encountered a group of robbers who wanted to rob them of their money and rape them.
In the bedroom, He Hong killed the robber leader, set fire to the robbers' lair, and killed more than a dozen people directly or indirectly.
Those robbers all deserved to die, but He Hong's hands were stained with blood... Shen Fengming actually didn't want him to stay with Jiang Yunzhu, but now that Jiang Yunzhu brought it up, he thought about it and said, "Need it."
Jiang Yunzhu was stunned for a moment, called He Hong over, and then said to him, "Are you willing to follow Mr. Shen?"
He Hong was terrified and didn't dare to look at Shen Fengming. Yesterday, he and Shen Fengming briefly looked at each other, and that feeling made him feel like he was falling into an icy abyss. It was as if Shen Fengming had seen through all of his dirty and despicable past.
Is he going to follow Shen Fengming
"Miss." He Ying came over and said worriedly. This Mr. Shen seemed much more difficult to get along with than Jiang Yunzhu, and she was afraid that He Hong would not be able to serve him well.
He Hong suddenly knelt down and said, "I do." To be honest, he didn't want to stay in the store to do these chores. After so many things happened, how should I put it? Although the life in Qishanju was very comfortable, he found that he didn't seem to like it now, and didn't want it.
Shen Fengming is different. He is dangerous and even makes him feel trembling from the bottom of his heart, but he likes it!
"Brother." He Ying was puzzled.
He Hong looked up at her. She was different from him, so she should stay with Miss Jiang.
"Sister, I am willing to follow Mr. Shen." He Hong's voice was firm, even with a hint of excitement.
He Ying looked at him for a long time and said, "Then you should serve Master Shen well." She had already noticed that Jiang Yunzhu and Shen Fengming seemed to have a close relationship. Serving Shen Fengming well would be considered repaying Jiang Yunzhu's kindness.
He Hong understood, "I will repay you with my life!"
It seemed a bit too much for him to say that. He was just a servant, so there was no need to risk his life for him. He Ying smiled awkwardly, thinking that her brother had changed a lot. Sometimes she couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
He Hong officially followed Shen Fengming, who thought he was actually quite suitable to be a spy for the Qilin Guard. After that incident, he did not lose heart or become mad, but just liked the feeling of being on the edge of a knife. This kind of person is born to be a spy.
You are always walking on the edge of the abyss. If you are not careful, you will be exposed and there will be no recovery.
He planned to observe He Hong for a while, and if he really had that kind of qualification, he wouldn't mind giving him a chance.
At this time, Qin Yao and Lin Yubai walked in. When they saw Jiang Yunzhu, they walked straight over. After spending these days together, they found that Jiang Yunzhu was really a good person, so they became friends with her.
They naturally saw He Ying and He Hong, and then everyone naturally talked about the disaster victims outside.
"Is there no disaster relief in Changfeng Prefecture?" Qin Yao asked.
"Changfeng Prefecture has suffered from severe drought for two consecutive years, which has almost exhausted the people's money. Now the entire prefecture is full of disaster victims waiting for relief. Even if the court wants to rescue them, it will be difficult!" Lin Yubai said as he glanced at Shen Fengming quietly.
I still remember that last year he went to Changfeng Prefecture and killed a lot of people.
This year, the officials of Changfeng Prefecture have worked hard, but the disaster is too severe.
"What should we do now?" Qin Yao frowned.
"We can only try our best to rescue them and let the people fend for themselves. Haven't you noticed that there are many disaster victims coming to Luzhou now? This may be because the court has tacitly approved it." Lin Yubai said.
Qin Yao sighed. She had seen quite a few disaster victims these days. They were really miserable!
Speaking of this, Jiang Yunzhu has actually been thinking about these disaster victims these days... This is just the beginning, and no one knows what will happen in the future.
Because of the recent surge in food and commodity prices, fewer customers come to her restaurant to eat, and it seems that everyone has to tighten their belts to make ends meet.
Just as a few people were chatting, a man wearing brown brocade embroidered with a blessing pattern came in, followed by a man who looked like a butler.
As soon as the man saw Qin Yao, he strode over and said, "Ayao!"
Qin Yao turned her head and saw him. Her body froze immediately. She waited until the man came to her before she whispered, "Dad."
"Come back to Luzhou with me." Qin Zhen said with a serious face.
"Dad, I..." Qin Yao was of course reluctant to leave. Xie Chen would be going to Beijing in eight days, and she didn't want to go anywhere during these eight days. She changed the subject, "Why did you come here in person?" she asked.
"Zhizhou He sent someone to propose marriage to my family a few days ago. I'm here to take you back. You've had enough fun outside. It's time to get ready to get married."
Qin Yao heard this and her mind went blank. She was angry and aggrieved. "Dad, I told you I don't like He Qing. He's a bastard. He once teased me. How can I marry him?"
Lin Yubai, who was listening nearby, also said, "Uncle Qin, I can testify to this. That He Qing is really not a good person."
"Who do you want to marry then?" Qin Zhen asked.
Qin Yao bit her lip and said nothing.
"You want to marry that poor scholar?" Qin Zhen suddenly shouted, "Don't even think about it. I didn't raise you to be with a man."
What he said was a bit too much. Qin Yao opened her eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief. Suddenly tears rolled down her cheeks. Why did he raise her so big? To push her into the fire pit and make the Qin family richer
Qin Zhen felt that what he said just now was a bit too much. These days, a large number of disaster victims have poured into Luzhou. As one of the top grain merchants in Luzhou, he has also been under great pressure. He can definitely make money, but he has no one in the court. Making so much money is like a piece of delicious fat meat, and everyone wants to take a bite.
These days, he has been giving a lot of money to various government offices, just hoping for peace.
How could Qin Yao not understand? Only if she married He Qing could their family remain rich.
"I won't marry, even if I die." Qin Yao suddenly said.
Qin Zhen was furious, "It's not up to you." Then, he winked at the housekeeper. The housekeeper clapped his hands, and several strong and sturdy maids came in immediately. They said to Qin Yao, "Miss, I'm sorry." Then they went to pull Qin Yao away.
How could Qin Yao, a little girl, be their opponent? She was quickly subdued.
"Uncle Qin, don't be like this, let A Yao go, we can talk it out." Lin Yubai wanted to save Qin Yao, but he was no match for those strong maids. At this time, he regretted again that he did not practice martial arts in his early years. Otherwise, he would be like Governor Shen now, who could kill one person with one punch? No one would dare to bully Qin Yao.
"This is a family matter, Mr. Lin, please don't get involved." Qin Zhen didn't want to offend Lin Yubai, or didn't want to offend the Lin family, so he gave Lin Yubai some face.
"But A Yao is my friend." Lin Yubai couldn't just ignore it.
Qin Zhen didn't want to pay attention to him anymore and walked out with Qin Yao.
"Let me go, Dad. Do you really want to do this? Well, then the He family can only marry my corpse." Qin Yao cried.
Qin Zhen looked stern. He paused for a moment before waving his hand and asking someone to continue leading Qin Yao out.
Lin Yubai pulled Qin Yao, almost dying of anxiety. He had thought that this situation would occur, but he didn't expect it to come so soon!
What should he do? He actually wanted to ask Qin Yao to marry him. Maybe Qin Zhen would agree, but would Qin Yao agree
He was getting anxious and worried when suddenly a clear female voice said, "Wait, Boss Qin, are you interested in discussing a business deal?"
Qin Zhen turned around and saw that the person who was talking was a pretty girl, and next to her stood a young man. The young man only glanced at him casually, and he felt a great pressure. The girl standing next to the young man was calm and composed, and was not inferior to the young man at all.
Qin Zhen has been doing business for many years and has met countless people. Of course, he has a certain judgment. He stood there and asked, "Miss, what business do you want to discuss?" Did she dare to discuss business with him when she knew who he was
Jiang Yunzhu wanted to talk to him because she knew his identity. This matter concerns all the disaster victims. Is it a big deal
