Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

E'nan City is the main city in southern Xinjiang. It has a long history, high walls and thick walls, and covers a large area. It is almost like two Shanyang cities. By the way, the chief secretary's yamen seems to be a bit down and out, and the few policemen standing outside on duty seem to have no energy. Although the soldiers who have been taken care of are not as brave as the frontier soldiers, they are also mighty and unyielding, which is enough to scare people.

Like other yamen, the Chief Secretary's yamen is also of the same specification. The front is the yamen, and the back is the courtyard where officials live. Most of the political secretaries did not live for more than a month after they came to power, and they were probably killed by accident before even visiting the house.

Yan Shengrui brought all the 30 soldiers stationed in southern Xinjiang this time, and there must be no room for them in the Yamen. Under Yan Yi's arrangement, in addition to the hundreds of shadow guards they brought, another [-] people will be left to take turns to take charge of several Everyone stood guard at the gate, and the rest of the people were pulled out of the southern city of Hubei to set up camp and practice every day. As for the back house, this time Ling Jingxuan only brought Long Zhang, Ling Yun and Song Shuiling, and Long Dashan was not counted. They have gradually revealed themselves. Talent will definitely be the pillars of the imperial court in the future, and the work of servants is not suitable for them. It is definitely impossible for Ling Yun and the three of them to take care of this family, as well as Father Wolf and the others, so the servants in the back house Ling Jingxuan didn't drive away all of them, after simply arranging everyone's future accommodation, Ling Jingxuan asked Ling Yun to summon all the servants in the back house to the main hall.

Seeing hundreds of servants dressed in different clothes, some of them national costumes, even Ling Jingxuan, who went out into the inner room, couldn't help being startled. The back house is divided into the main courtyard and the east and west courtyards, and the total area occupied There are less than [-] square meters, there are about [-] wing rooms, and three servant rooms, how can so many servants be needed?Seeing their eyes wandering and their expressions flickering, it is estimated that many of them are stuffed in by the four big families or the so-called local tyrants and gentry, right?No wonder the previous chief secretaries didn't live long. There are these people watching in the backyard, and there are also people watching outside for twelve hours. Everywhere they go is under the control of others, so it's strange that they don't die.

"See Princess!"

Seeing him coming out, the servants bowed and saluted, but it was quite normal. Ling Jingxuan took Ling Yun and sat down on the main seat, and looked at them one by one. These people must not all belong to others, but none of them can be trusted. If they are all driven away, it will be troublesome to find new people, and they will be given a reputation for being cruel and ruthless. It will be unfavorable for them who are newcomers and the people are extremely repulsive. , it is bound to take a lot of effort.

"This concubine came here for the first time today, and I'm not very familiar with many things. Who are the housekeeper and the stewards of each courtyard?"

There were a lot of people, and it seemed that they were coming step by step. Ling Jingxuan glanced at him, with a slight smile on his lips, several men and women looked at each other and stepped forward one after another. One of them looked like he was in his 40s. The skinny man bowed and said, "The servant is Qin An, the steward of the backyard. Please greet the princess."

"Greetings to the princess!"

Under his leadership, several other men and women also bowed to pay respects. Ling Jingxuan hooked his fingers to signal Qin An to come forward. Qin An hesitated for a while and walked over without knowing why. Ling Jingxuan took out a silver note of one thousand taels and handed it to him: " Starting today, this is the Yan family. I don’t care who sent you here or what you have done. If you are willing to leave, Manager Qin will give you 20 taels of severance pay. In the future, the monthly salary will be ten taels per month for the housekeeper, eight taels for the management, five taels for the first-class servants, three taels for the second-class servants, one and half for the rough servants, and five taels per person to your family members during festivals. Buy some things and get an extra month’s salary for the Chinese New Year, but I’ll let my concubine’s ugly words be the first, and those who stay will be safe and work hard for this concubine. At first, I asked them one by one, in front of my concubine, Ling Yun, you assist Butler Qin."

Ling Jingxuan's wages are undoubtedly quite generous. Almost everyone couldn't help their eyes light up when they heard what he said before, but when they heard what he said behind, many people couldn't help shaking their bodies, wondering if it was them They always felt that when the princess said those words, there seemed to be a murderous aura covering her body, but when they wanted to see clearly, the permeating murderous aura disappeared again.

"Yes, princess."

Butler Qin put away the banknotes, and Ling Yun, who had been called, also walked over. The two of them summed up, one was in charge of calling names one by one, the other was in charge of registration, those who were willing to leave voluntarily would be given severance pay later, and those who wanted to stay had to be paid. Explain clearly where you live, who is in the family, etc., and throw out the incomplete information directly, without even severance pay. In this way, only half of the rest will be left, but for Ling Jingxuan, there are still too many people point.

"Princess, these are the list and details of those who stayed behind."

Butler Qin took those who left to pay severance pay for the time being. Ling Yun handed him the thick roster. Ling Jingxuan glanced at it lightly, but didn't intend to take it. He raised his voice and said, "Is Secretary Yan here? Come out for a while." .”

"princess!"

Yan Si, who came out of nowhere, stood respectfully in front of him, clasped his fists, and Ling Jingxuan took the roster and threw it to him: "Send each of the shadow guards to take charge of one, and go to verify the information. Those whose identities do not match and those who have problems are all alone. Remember, one hour should be enough, right?"

"Yes!"

Yan Si didn't have any objection, and disappeared after taking the roster. I don't know why he did that. Many of the servants who were still in the hall couldn't help beating their hearts. It's not that Ling Jingxuan didn't see their nervousness, but he didn't have any To appease them, he has given them the opportunity, if they don't cherish it, then they can't blame him.

"Daddy, what are you doing?"

The waiting time is always long. Not long after, the big bun Ling Wen came out with the little dumpling. Ling Jingxuan smiled and opened his arms to hug the little fat Zheng'er who rushed towards him: "Father Wolf, they have made arrangements? Brother Hu Do you still dislike each other with the old wolf?"

The so-called one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Although one of them is a tiger and the other is a wolf, brother tiger and old wolf are like deadly rivals. I told them in detail, although in terms of personal combat power alone, tigers are stronger than wolves, but father wolf also has two sons and Yuanyuan Gungun to help, Brother Hu is lonely, and he is thinking about going alone later Talk to them.

"I listened to my father, let them live in one room, but asked the soldiers to move two more beds in. Father Wolf and Dahei didn't seem to like the new environment very much. After entering, they lay on the bed and did not move. Tie Wazi is accompanying them, and Xiao Shu is accompanying Uncle Hu, Daddy, why don't we find some craftsmen and make tatami mats like the ones at home for Father Wolf?"

Father Wolf is just like his own father. Dahei Xiaohei and Yuanyuan Gungun are undoubtedly their brothers. When it comes to this matter, Big Baozi couldn't hide his heartache, and offered to renovate their room. He has always been stingy with his family My son's big bun has gradually learned to be generous.

"Well, that's for sure. Tatami mats are more convenient. I'll ask the housekeeper here to find someone later. Don't worry about Lao Lang and Brother Hu. I'll talk to them."

Ling Jingxuan nodded. He didn't intend to bring Brother Hu back at first, but now that it's here, it's willing to stay, and he naturally welcomes it. To be honest, if it wasn't for Brother Hu in the deep mountains, I'm afraid They walked out with their lives, and even if they did, they probably didn't know what year and month it was, but he was somewhat grateful for it.

"it is good."

Ling Wen nodded and took the tea and snacks that Ling Yun brought to them. Sitting in Ling Jingxuan's arms, Xiao Tuanzi held the snacks in both hands. He took a bite of one and stuffed the other into his mouth. Not to mention how "pretty" they looked, Ling Jingxuan was helpless Shaking his head, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the dregs from his mouth: "I said, can't you eat slowly? No one will fight with you. Shui Ling'er has already cooked again, so be careful that you won't be able to eat later .”

It's already past lunch time, but because they didn't arrive until noon, after a lot of tossing, even though they bought the ingredients when they left Shanyang City, lunch hasn't been ready until now.

"Who said that? They may have eaten it before. Sister Shui Linger's dishes are so good, me?? Hmm??"

Xiao Tuanzi choked up decisively while eating, and Ling Wen quickly brought him a cup of tea, and Ling Jingxuan patted him on the back angrily.

"Hi?? I'm choked to death, daddy, can our family make soft dim sum in the future? This dim sum is not delicious."

After finally recovering a life, Xiaotuanzi frowned in distaste while picking up a piece of dim sum and took a bite. Ling Jingxuan couldn't help poking his forehead: "Are you sure that the dim sum is not good? If it's not good, why don't you eat it?" Keep stuffing it in your mouth?"

For his youngest son, Ling Jingxuan was completely speechless, and Ling Wen who was sitting opposite was also full of pampering and helplessness.

"But I'm hungry!"

Xiaotuanzi raised his head and rubbed his fleshy belly confidently, instantly making Ling Jingxuan and his son dumbfounded, and even Ling Yun who was next to him couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Little County King, my servant will take you to the small kitchen to find Shui Ling'er, okay?" ? At this time, she must have already prepared your favorite big chicken drumsticks."

Do you know why Xiaotuanzi is so capricious?Just let them get used to it.

"Okay, okay, I want to eat big chicken drumsticks, big and big."

As soon as he heard that there were big chicken legs to eat, Xiaotuanzi decided not to have dim sum. Maybe they didn't understand. While talking, the two small arms like lotus root joints were still gesturing vigorously. Ling Yun stretched out his arms and hugged him: "Okay, it's very big big chicken legs."

"Yeah, sister Yun, you are the best, Xiaotuanzi likes you the most."

With her arms around her neck, Xiaotuanzi's mouth seemed to be wrapped in honey, Ling Yun showed a rare bright smile, nodded to Ling Jingxuan and his son before carrying him to the backyard.

"You guys are almost spoiling him, don't spoil him like this again in the future, be careful to cultivate a little playboy."

Watching their backs disappear around the corner, Ling Jingxuan smiled and shook his head, and Ling Wen frowned slightly: "Our younger brother, who do we not spoil? Let's just be the little dude, and I will give him my salary from now on."

He can only be so generous if he spends it on Xiaotuanzi. Ling Jingxuan can't even comment on it. It's a good thing that the relationship between their brothers is good, isn't it?It's just that Xiaowen's future daughter-in-law will be ranked behind their Xiaotuanzi.
