Seeing Xiao Zhige carrying the gun to the main room, Zhou Helan hesitated for a moment and raised her heel.

Although he couldn't figure out what annoyed Prince at the moment, he also saw that the King of the Northern War was not as cruel and unreasonable as rumors outside. And at present, the person who is the princess, with the importance that the prince attaches to the princess, can not deal with him beyond the princess.

Determined in the heart, Zhou Helan walked more and more briskly, followed by Xiao Zhige to the main room.

An Changqing has just changed his clothes, and what he wears today is a brocade robe with dark white stripes, which is still the clothes sent by Tianyi Fang. although it is not a valuable material, it is very carefully tailored. Cotton wool is added to the winter brocade robe, which will more or less look bloated. But this moonlight brocade robe is just right to fold the waist, and then with a slightly darker than the white color of the belt, even in winter, can also show a bit suave posture. This meticulous tailoring is now worn by an Changqing, which highlights and magnifies the effect, and every move is full of romance.

Xiao Zhige silently looked at him, and the wind swept through Zhou Helan, who was waiting for him, without any ups and downs in his tone: "Today we are going to give porridge again?"

"No." An Changqing straightened his jade dress and said with a smile, "yesterday I posted a list of talented people to recruit stewards, and there were a lot of people who uncovered the list. Today I'm going to go to the store to pick people."

After confessing the crime, the former steward and the man were sent to the government with a confession. If there is no one in the clothing workshop today, an Changqing and Zhou Helan are still in charge for the time being. But there was no shortage of people in this shop, and an Changqing and Zhou Helan could not just spend on this shop, so they simply took the opportunity to post a list of talents to recruit people.

Xiao Zhige heard the words, silenced, and said, "I'll go with you."

Yeah? An Changqing looked at him in surprise and frowned 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 the applicants were probably scared away.

But some things are not easy to say too bluntly. An Changqing turned her eyes and said, "is there nothing wrong with Prince today?" I'm afraid the chores at the shop won't be finished at 01:30 today. "

The implication is that things in the shop take more time, so Prince might as well be busy with something else first.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhige nodded when he heard this, and said with a straight face, "it's all right, let's go."

An Changqing: "."

Seeing him on the side like a door god, an Changqing was silent and had to take him and Zhou Helan to Tianyi Square.

There were already a lot of people waiting at the gate of Tianyi Square, and there were more applicants than he had expected. An Changqing asked an Fu to open the shop door and let people go in and wait before he and Xiao Zhige Zhou Helan went in one step later.

The man who had rubbed his hands and whispered in the shop smiled subconsciously after seeing an Changqing, who came in first, and 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 their mouths froze when they were halfway up, and they all shivered.

Like a group of quails that saw their natural predators, their heads were tied and their hands hung down, and they dared not gasp loudly.

An Changqing smoked at the corner of his mouth, which is why he didn't want to bring Xiao Zhige. But at this point, people are already sitting on the side, and it's useless to say anything else. An Changqing had to pretend that everything was business as usual and let Anfu collect everyone's resumes first.

A total of 15 people came to be in charge of the recruitment. An Changqing looked at the resumes of these 15 people in turn, but only five met the requirements. Because Tian Yi Fang had already made a mistake, an Changqing was a little more demanding to be in charge. So in the end, only these five people were left behind, assessed by Zhou Helan, and then picked out the most suitable candidate.

The five people who were left behind were still very happy, but after the examination began, they felt the cold eyes swept by the king sitting above from time to time, sweating their foreheads one by one, and even their hands holding the pen were trembling slightly.

Finally finished the assessment, the five people breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged a look between each other, are helpless and sorrowful.

-- didn't see Prince coming a few days ago, so why did you let them catch up today? It was unfortunate that they were so scared that they didn't dare to talk to the princess.

The king of the Northern War above the high seat did not know that he had been disliked. He did not interfere in the affairs of the shop, and he could not get a word at this time. He just sat by and listened to an Changqing and Zhou Helan discuss which person was more appropriate.

Two people have their own preference for candidates, Zhou Helan in the business has always been not afraid to speak bluntly, at this time even in the face of an Changqing, but also strive to persuade an Changqing. An Changqing also insisted on his own opinions, and the argument between the two men seemed like a superfluous arrangement for the king of the Northern War sitting silently.

Xiao Zhige's cold eyes swept over Zhou Helan several times and quietly tightened his lips.

At the end of the argument, the two people each took a step back and compromised, and both of them were taken as deputy stewards, running Tianyi Square together, and then they were rewarded on the basis of merit, and the one who did a better job was promoted to be in charge.

An Changqing was quite happy on the way back, and today's argument with Zhou Helan inspired him that he could not only let the two managers supervise each other, but also transfer the trained managers to other stores, so that they could be transferred and promoted every two years. it's better than letting some managers take charge of things for a long time and breed ambition day by day.

When Xiao Zhige saw that he was still thinking about the shop when he was sitting in the carriage, there was a deep gully between the two ink eyebrows: "there is a candy shop in front selling pine nuts."

"Hmm?" An Changqing stopped thinking and looked up at him questioningly.

Xiao Zhige: "I hear it's delicious. I'll buy it for you."

"who said that?" An Changqing asked curiously. He felt strange for a long time. Xiao Zhige was not a person with a heavy appetite, but he could always buy him all kinds of delicious food every time.

"subordinates."

Wang cherished words such as gold in the Northern War. Seeing that his clear eyes finally only looked at himself, the wrinkles between his eyebrows were much smoother: "would you like to eat?"

"eat." An Changqing looked at him with a smile: "would you like to eat with me?"

Xiao Zhige sat upright, his hands on his knees, still majestic, but he did not hesitate to answer the princess's words: "mm-hmm."

……

As he was going to buy pine nut candy, the rickshaw driver turned to another road, and as he was passing through an alley, he vaguely heard a pent-up quarrel.

"is the baby in the belly of Jiao Ying yours?"

"so what if it's mine?"

"how dare you? That's my man! "

The quarreller did not notice the carriage coming on the other road, and still lowered his voice and argued, but an Changqing keenly caught the word "Jiao Ying". He got up and opened the curtain and motioned to the coachman to stop, then winked at Anfu and asked him to look at the other side.

The two men continued to quarrel, and the middle-aged man looked as if he had not entered the nunnery. "if you hadn't hidden the man in the nunnery, I would have carried him through the door."

"now I happen to have my seed in my stomach. Just pick an auspicious day and carry it through the door, and maybe you can give me a big fat boy."

The younger man was wheezing and said for a while, "Uncle six, don't deceive people too much!"

The man who was called the sixth uncle sneered: "robbing people with me, you are still a little young." You don't know, do you? The husband of that little wave hoof was thoroughly played by me before he died, and you are the only one who is still a baby. "

The two men quarreled and broke up in discord. The young man seemed so angry that he kicked the wall viciously before leaving.

After watching the whole journey, Anfu retreated carefully and said with a strange expression, "it is the fourth Childe Wu and the sixth Master of Zhongyong Hou House.". "

Zhongyong Hou has five brothers, but only one brother, line six, known as the "six lords."

The fourth Childe of Wu is the common son of Zhongyong Hou, Wu Junshu.

An Changqing recalled that Jiao Ying was mentioned during their argument. It was obvious that Wu Junshu already knew about Jiao Ying's pregnancy, and that Jiao Ying was not his seed, but his sixth uncle's.

The uncles and nephews hid in this nook and cranny in order to fight for a widow.

Thinking of Wu Junshu's sanctimonious appearance on weekdays, an Changqing's eyes burned with anger. It was for the sake of such a widow who committed adultery with his uncle that his sister was killed and finally turned her into a real wife.

This is absolutely hilarious! Uncle and nephew fight for a daughter, this is the family style purged Zhongyong Hou Fu?

Anger was burning in his chest. An Changqing clenched her teeth and said, "find an opportunity to tell the story."

He would like to see if Wu Junshu still has the face to marry his sister when this matter comes out.

Perhaps even God was not used to the nasty things of Zhongyong Hou's mansion, and before an Changqing found an opportunity to tell the story, he heard Tiehu quickly complain that the nunnery outside the city had been set on fire.

The fire was started by that crazy woman.

"where's the warbler?"

"Jiao Ying happened to be outside and dodged a bullet."

If you really want to be sleepy, someone will hand you a pillow. An Changqing said after a little meditation, "send someone to report the news to Zhongyong Hou's mansion and report to the official again by the way. Be sure to bring the people of the government there."

The iron tiger led the way. An Changqing called Anfu to prepare a car and personally went to the nunnery outside the city.

When an Changqing arrived, the fire in the nunnery had just been extinguished, and the originally neat nunnery was scorched black, leaving only ruins. Among the ruins, a crazy woman ran around waving her hands, shouting: "the fox is dead, son, my mother has avenged you.". "

The villagers around her watched her in twos and threes, and no one dared to come forward.

The groom chose an inconspicuous position to park the carriage. An Changqing looked through the curtain and saw Jiaoying huddled aside clutching her belly. Looking at that, she was afraid that the crazy woman might find her.

An Changqing looked at her coldly, silently calculating when the other two would arrive.

He was thinking about it when he saw a carriage coming so fast that before it stopped, a man in his thirties and forties jumped out of the carriage and shouted "Jiao Ying" anxiously. He looked so eager that he could not even pay attention to the advice of the villagers.

At the sight of his tears, Jiao Ying, who huddled aside, fell first, stood up trembling and shouted "sixth Master".

Wu Liu rushed over, carefully helped her up, and looked up and down: "is the baby all right?" Did you hurt the child? "

Jiao Ying covered her stomach and said timidly and fearfully, "No, I take good care of our child.". "

As soon as the words fell, I heard a voice cry hesitantly: "…". Jiao Ying? "

As soon as Jiao Ying's body froze, she subconsciously pushed Wu Liu away. Turning around and looking at the person who called her, her face changed several times, and finally fixed into a twisted and strange ugly expression: "Shiro, Shiro, what are you doing here?". "
