Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

Zhang Liangchen was afraid that he might offend Su Qin, so he hurriedly introduced her: "This is my teacher's newly recognized granddaughter, Zeng Suqing. Suqing, this is Qi Lusheng, my good friend."

When Qi Lusheng heard that it was Mr. Zeng's granddaughter, he knew that she was not Zhao Liangchen's sweetheart. He was a little disappointed, but he still saluted politely: "Miss Zeng."

Su Qin also greeted with a smile: "Master Qi."

Qi Lusheng was used to being at ease in front of Zhao Liangchen, but now that there was a woman standing next to Zhao Liangchen, he felt a little uncomfortable and kept glancing at Zhao Liangchen: What's the matter? Why did you bring a girl here?

Zhao Liangchen knew his problem. He was always a bit crazy. If he was asked to behave properly, he would be very uncomfortable. So he quickly said, "Where are the people I asked you to buy? I'll take Su Qing to meet them."

Qi Lusheng couldn't control his excitement when talking about those people: "They are farming. You don't know, I have been watching them every day these days, and they are very well behaved now."

Zhao Liangchen: "Take us to see it."

"Row."

Qi Lusheng responded readily, walked a few steps, looked back at Su Qin, hesitated for a moment and asked Su Qin: "Miss Zeng, do you need a sedan chair? This place is a bit far."

"Need not."

"use."

Zhao Liangchen and Su Qin spoke at the same time. Qi Lusheng looked at their reactions and nodded, "Okay, let's do one."

Su Qin wanted to say that there was really no need. She could walk from Chanzhou to Shangjing City, so why should she be afraid of this little distance? Unfortunately, before she could say it, Qi Lusheng had already hurriedly asked people to carry the sedan chair.

The sedan chair was brought over, and Su Qin was too embarrassed to refuse to sit in it, so she sat in the sedan chair and followed behind Qi Lusheng and Zhao Liangchen.

Qi Lusheng pulled Zhao Liangchen aside and muttered, "What's going on? When did your teacher recognize a granddaughter?"

Zhao Liangchen: "The teacher was out of town a while ago and was rescued by this girl. Then he insisted on adopting her as his granddaughter."

Qi Lusheng glanced back curiously and asked doubtfully, "This girl looks so frail. Can she save your teacher?"

Zhao Liangchen shook his head: "I don't know. Zou Tai was there at the time, he saw it."

Qi Lusheng believed it now: "Zou Tai, that blockhead, saw it, so it must be true. He won't lie. Hey, what's wrong with your teacher? When you saved him, he accepted you as his student. Now this girl saved him, and he accepted her as his granddaughter. Doesn't that mean that anyone who wants to get involved with him in the future just needs to save his life? So should I go and guard his door? What if I save him and he accepts me as his student? My father will be so happy."

Zhao Liangchen glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense. How can my teacher be so unlucky? Something always happens to him."

Qi Lusheng curled his lips: "Who can say for sure? What if someone did it on purpose? But, speaking of which, whose family is this girl? She's changed her surname. Is her family willing?"

Zhao Liangchen: "She is a disaster victim. She probably has no family left."

Qi Lusheng's face was full of sympathy when he heard this: "She's an orphan, that's quite pitiful."

The two of them were whispering in front, and Su Qin was listening in the back. It was not that she was eavesdropping on purpose, but Qi Lusheng's whispering was really loud.

She felt that Zhao Liangchen might be too scheming and unwilling to associate with scheming people. The people he knew were all simple-minded. This Qi Lusheng seemed even simpler than Zou Tai.

Behind the farmland are vast fields. It is late autumn now and there are no crops in the fields, but there are still many tenants busy preparing the land. Su Qin herself was a child from the countryside in her previous life. Later, she came here and often visited the Su family's fields when she had time. So she is very familiar with the land. Just one glance and she knows that these fields are good land. She secretly thinks that if she has so much land in this place where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, she won't have to worry about her livelihood. She can just lie down and don't have to get married.

Qi Lusheng stood on the edge of the field, pointing to a group of people working in the distance: "Look, they're all over there."

Su Qin also got off the sedan and looked over. She saw more than thirty people plowing the soil. Everyone worked very hard, but the men were fine. The girls were crying while working. The main reason was that there were many people standing around them, staring at them. If they worked a little slower, they would be poked with a wooden stick.

Zhao Liangchen asked curiously, "What is this for?"

Qi Lusheng said proudly: "Supervise them while they work. I tell you, these people need someone to watch them while they work. If they are watched, they will work faster than a donkey."

Su Qin was a little speechless. "You keep poking people with a stick. Doesn't that make things go faster?" The donkeys in the production team were used in the same way.

Qi Lusheng continued to introduce proudly: "I tell you, when they come to your farm, they must obey you. I told them that if they don't work hard for you, they will be sent to me again. Then I won't just stab them with sticks, I'll whip them with whips. Although my family doesn't have any military generals now, the whips passed down from our ancestors are very useful. One whip will definitely make their skin and flesh burst."

Zhao Liangchen smiled and thanked him: "Thank you very much, you are so thoughtful."

Qi Lusheng was even more proud: "That's right, I put a lot of thought into it for you."

Zhao Liangchen: "Let them come over and let them recognize their new master."

Qi Lusheng looked at Zhao Liangchen with some surprise, then at Su Qin. Although he didn't know why all these people were given to Su Qin, he didn't ask much.

He waved his hand, and the servant behind him went to call for help.

Soon, more than 30 people came over. When they saw Zhao Liangchen, they all knelt down and cried, "Master, please have mercy on us. We really can't do it anymore."

Xing Er stretched out her hands and said, "Master, look at me. If I continue like this, my hands will be broken. Please, spare us."

She was a maid and did not have to do heavy work. Her hands were originally white and delicate, but now her fingers were rough and covered with cuts. Her palms were rubbed with blisters, which had burst, and her hands looked bloody and mangled.

Zhao Liangchen was not moved at all after seeing this. He said coldly, "It won't hurt. Once the calluses grow, it won't hurt when you work again."

Xing Er was a little dumbfounded. How could this young master not understand how to feel sorry for others? He wasn't like this before.

In the past, whenever the eldest lady acted coquettishly or cried out in pain, the young master would feel distressed. He had such a good temper and was always kind to them. Why is he so cold to them now?

Zhao Liangchen didn't have time to waste on talking to them. He pointed at Su Qin and said, "This is Miss Zeng, the granddaughter of Mr. Zeng. She will be your new mistress from now on. Be smart when you follow your new mistress. If any of you betray your mistress, I will not let you off easily."

Those people looked at Su Qin and found that she was a beautiful young lady. They were all happy. Serving a lady from a wealthy family was an easy job. Most young ladies would not treat their servants harshly for the sake of their own reputation. Moreover, serving a woman was an easy job.

Xing'er was even happier. She had been serving Zhao Gupan since she was a child and was the best at serving these young ladies.

She immediately expressed her loyalty: "Miss Zeng, please rest assured that I will serve you well in the future."

Su Qin: "I don't need you to serve me."

Xing Er was dumbfounded again: "You, what do you mean?"

Su Qin also said with a cold face: "I came to see you today not to pick you to serve me, but to send you to the farm and shops to help me manage some of the business. Each of you tell me what you are good at, and I will assign tasks based on your strengths. I mainly need some people who can read and manage accounts. For those who can't do these, smart people who can entertain guests and run business are also fine. Those who can't do anything can only farm."

These people are already growing hemp, so naturally they don’t want to farm anymore and are scrambling to show off their talents.
