Princess of Han

In Xu's newly completed courtyard, Xu Peiyao considered the family's situation and temporarily used the maids recruited from the Vulture Palace.

Therefore, when her parents and elder brother gradually got used to the life here and she had time to spare, she asked Xiuyi to find a local matchmaker, and planned to buy a few servants to take care of her parents' daily life.

Parents are old after all, and there are more or less physical problems. She already has this ability, so it is naturally impossible to watch her parents work hard.

The matchmaker's surname is Li, and everyone calls her Mrs. Li.She has been in this business for more than [-] years and has a lot of resources in her hands.To be honest, she is used to so many big scenes, and she doesn't really pay much attention to the newly moved Xu family, that is, when she was asked to bring people there, she happened to have a batch of new goods in her hand, so that's the reason Hao Dangdang brought over twenty little girls.

The Xu family seems to be a three-entry courtyard, without much background, and there seems to be no strong background behind it.When Mrs. Li came in and saw the old lady of Xu's family in the first day of junior high school, she was completely sure of her thoughts, and her expression lost a little bit of respect and sincerity.

The old lady of the Xu family has a very simple temperament, not like a rich lady, but more like a peasant woman in the country.

Having been in this business for more than twenty years, Mrs. Li has developed a pair of powerful eyes, which can be recognized at a glance, but the young lady who is supporting her by Mrs. Xu's side is particularly dazzling, with a noble and elegant temperament on her body.

Li Pozi rolled her eyes and laughed, she was obedient and free of money, and praised: "Oh, Mrs. Xu, this is your young lady, she looks really handsome. I, Li Po, have been in Chuzhou for more than [-] years and have been in high school. There are countless big families, but I have never seen a lady who is so eye-catching. Mrs. Xu is so lucky, which family did the lady marry?"

"Hehe, you praised me."

Xu Peiyao didn't like these toothmaids very much, and she didn't have the heart to gossip with them, so she just glanced at her and managed to make Granny Li shut up.

The young lady's eyes are really cold, how can she feel a little creepy in her heart.

"Mother, which of these little girls do you like?"

Xu's mother hesitated, always feeling that it was a waste to buy a maid to serve her.

"Pei Yao, you see, we won't buy maids. Our family is just your father and me, as well as your elder brother and sister-in-law. We don't need maids to serve you. Mother has been working hard all her life, but when she is free, she will be exhausted. uncomfortable."

"Mother, the yard is too big, and my sister-in-law has two children to take care of, so I can't take care of it. Buy a few maids, and your burden will be lighter." A disciple of the Vulture Palace, she will leave some at Xu's house to protect her family. , and others, there are not enough manpower outside now, so they can only be transferred for a while.

Mrs. Li's complexion was not very good after Xu's mother's words fell behind.

Dare to feel that today's business may not be done, isn't she making a trip in vain?However, she is also considered a very wealthy person, but her face changed, and then she was still smiling, standing aside and waiting respectfully.

In the end, Mother Xu couldn't hold back her daughter, so she nodded, and just randomly picked someone who was honest and honest, and stopped picking.

Xu Peiyao looked at the person her mother was pointing at.It was a little girl of eight or nine years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, not good-looking, not even delicate, but looking at her duty, she had thick calluses on her hands, as if she was used to rough work.The complexion is dark yellow, and the gray clothes have several patches, but the clothes are clean.

Compared with the other little girls standing in a row, this child is not as elf as others, but his eyes are clear and he is very obedient.Mrs. Li only said to stand still, and she stood there motionless, clutching her trousers, and only looked at them nervously.

Xu Peiyao nodded.

Just be obedient, she doesn't need to be too smart.

"Mom, see if there is anything else you want to choose. I think these two are also good." Xu Peiyao followed her finger to two girls who were about eleven or twelve years old.He doesn't look very outstanding, he looks honest and responsible, his hands and feet are diligent, and he has a braid on his hair.

If it is based on the criteria for selecting maids from Vulture Palace, these three girls are obviously not suitable.Their bones look normal, not for martial arts.On the contrary, there are two girls with red lips and white teeth in this row, with two bones.It's a pity that the critical and unwillingness in her eyes made her exclude them immediately.

What she chose for her parents was a maid who could take care of the elders with ease, not a young lady who could do nothing.

She doesn't have much time to train them now, and she will get married in a few months, so it's better to choose two older ones in the family.

After choosing someone and giving the money, Mrs. Li happily led the others away.

In this troubled world at the beginning of the war, there are not many who buy maids on purpose, but quite a few sell maids.Three is not too many, but it is also a lot.She has worked hard for a month. If she is lucky, she can lead two groups of people. If she is unlucky, she can't even open the business.Today was a good sign at that time, and Miss Xu's offer was considered generous, without haggling.

When I met the stingy one, I couldn't make much money after working for a long time.

"Sleeve, they will leave it to you, you can arrange it carefully. Mom, you are tired too, let's go back." Handing the sleeve to the side, Xu Peiyao looked up at the sky, and showed a few smiles on her face. Said the weary mother.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, but she didn't feel much about her deep inner strength, but she noticed the tiny sweat on her mother's forehead.

"That's good. The sun is getting brighter, let's go back to the house to avoid it. You will get married in a few months, so you can't get tanned." Xu's mother was very nervous.It is the girls in the village, once the wedding date is fixed, they basically won't do too tiring and heavy work.In the few months before marriage, you have to take good care of it, not to mention raising a body with fine skin and tender flesh, at least not too thick and dark.

On this side, Xu Peiyao helped her mother back to the house, on the other side, before Mrs. Li, who was leading the people away, saw the man who got off his horse at the gate and walked towards him.Dressed in cold black clothes, coupled with a handsome face that people will never forget after just one glance, Mrs. Li's body shivered suddenly.

My God, how did this big man come here?

As almost half of the matchmakers in Chuzhou city buy people from her, her news network is naturally not weak, and Mrs. Li still knows the identity of the man in black on the opposite side.

Now the hottest bigwig in Chuzhou City, it is said that even the most powerful people in Chuzhou City can only avoid their edge.

Chen Youliang didn't pay attention to the old lady with chrysanthemum folds all over her face. She just glanced at the girls standing in two rows behind Mrs. Li, and she understood in her heart. Then she left and walked forward, leaving Mrs. Li and her More than twenty girls watched the man's stalwart body disappear around the corner.

"Grandma, who is that lord, he looks so good-looking."

"It must be a general!"

"How do you know he's a general? He looks like a noble son from a rich family!"

"Because when he looked over just now, his eyes scared me. Only generals have those eyes."

"How can there be such a good-looking general?"

"How not."

The chattering noises of more than twenty little girls were intertwined, everyone talking to each other, which made Mrs. Li's head hurt.

"Okay, shut up. It's not too long to live. Can you talk about the nobleman? Now, follow me up, let's go back." When the lord was not as powerful as he is now, as The matchmaker, to some extent, has some inexplicable relationship with some forces in Chuzhou City.That lord's methods were not gentle, and he didn't lose his life inexplicably because of a few casual words.

Mrs. Li's majesty was obviously very effective among the girls in her hands. With just one sentence, everyone was silenced, and they obediently followed her and left.

"Ma'am, Miss, Mr. Chen is here."

"He's here?" Xu Peiyao stopped the embroidery in her hand, looked up at Luo Yi who came in to announce.

"Miss, do you want to invite Mr. Chen in?"

"This..." She looked at her mother who was sitting by the side smiling and saying nothing, and pursed her lips, "Take him to the flower hall and wait, my mother and I will come right away." Naturally, a woman's boudoir is not good. Receiving a man means that man is her future husband-in-law.

"Yes, miss, I'll go right away." Luo Yi covered his mouth with a smile and turned around to go out.Inside the embroidery building, Xu Peiyao gently pinned the embroidery needles on the embroidery frame, and straightened the black silk hanging down her chest.

"Mom, let's go out."

Mother Xu smiled gratifiedly and nodded.

"Let's go, don't make Mr. Chen wait too long."

In the flower hall, when the man sitting on the chair drinking tea saw the Xu mother and daughter coming out, his sharp eyes suddenly softened.After meeting Xu's mother, he looked at Pei Yao tenderly, and for some reason remembered those people he met just now.

"Sister Peiyao, are you short of someone to serve you here? I'll ask Dingyuan to deliver it directly later. It's always difficult to use the ones bought from the matchmaker. They don't understand anything, and they are clumsy."

"How do you know that I bought someone from the matchmaker?" Xu Peiyao raised her head, her tone was slightly different.

The man smiled.

"I saw it when I came here just now."

Xu Peiyao didn't expect that this man who should be doing big things in the eyes of everyone and looking at the whole world would notice such a small place, and his peaceful heart couldn't help but stir up waves.

Only care, will be so considerate.Because, he has you in his heart.

The girl thought for a while, but she shook her head and refused: "No need, your family members have just arrived in Chuzhou, and they definitely need people. I don't have many people here, so it's enough."

Knowing that sister Peiyao didn't want to owe him favors, Chen Youliang stopped entangled in this issue, lest sister Peiyao would be annoyed.

Anyway, sister Peiyao will marry him in a few months, and naturally there will be many slaves in his Chen family who will serve sister Peiyao.

He turned to another question.

"Sister Pei Yao, do you still remember the woman you met at Fayuan Temple a few days ago?"

"Woman? You mean Miss Li?" Why did you mention Li Wan'er all of a sudden?

Xu Peiyao stared at Chen Youliang's eyes indiscriminately, and didn't notice any strange expression on his face when he talked about Li Wan'er.

Chen Youliang smiled, and that smile was indescribably meaningful.

"It's that woman. I noticed that she looked at us a little wrongly. I was afraid that she had ulterior motives to get close to you, so I asked someone to check and found that she was actually the single daughter of the owner of Yaowangzhuang Li, and she was good at using poison. I heard that the eldest lady of Yaowangzhuang rescued a young man surnamed Xu some time ago, sister Peiyao, didn’t you go to Yaowangzhuang earlier, didn’t brother Tiande stay in Yaowangzhuang during that time?”

Xu Peiyao nodded.

These things are not secrets, so naturally they cannot be hidden from Chen Youliang.

Chen Youliang's eyes flickered, and the corner of his mouth curled into a wicked smile.

"I heard that brother Tiande doesn't think about food and drink during this time, so he visits Yaowangzhuang from time to time."

Xu Peiyao's eyes jumped: "What do you want to say?"

"Sister Peiyao, brother Tiande is not young anymore, you said we should help him from time to time so that he can get what he wants?" Hurry up and find a woman to control Xu Tiande so that he won't be too energetic and always be bad. For my own good, sow discord in sister Peiyao's ears.

"This......"

After the second brother came back from Yaowangzhuang, there was indeed something wrong with his whole body, and he became a little dazed.If it is really like what Chen Youliang said, it would be a good thing for the second brother to marry the second sister-in-law as soon as possible.

After all, the second brother is really too young.He is about the same age as Chen Youliang, in his twenties, if this delay continues, others will say whether the second brother has some hidden illness.

"Pei Yao, what are you talking about? Your second brother has a girl he likes? Which girl is it? How old is she? How is her temperament? Why don't you tell my mother about this child so that I can come to propose marriage? .”

Mother Xu's voice suddenly sounded, and Xu Peiyao suddenly came back to her senses.

Too bad, how could I forget that my mother is still here.

Xu Peiyao was worried and didn't know how to speak, but Chen Youliang over there had no scruples and smiled.

"Auntie, you've seen the girl Brother Tiande likes before, that's the girl Li you saw at Fayuan Temple that day."

"That Miss Li?" Xu's mother frowned, "That lady looks like a lady from a rich family, and she looks good. I'm afraid our Erlang is a little too tall. What should I do?"

Girls from rich families have never been in her scope of choosing a wife.What this era pays attention to is the right marriage, how can a young lady marry a peasant boy?Her Peiyao was able to marry into the Chen family only because Mr. Chen liked Peiyao so much, and they grew up together as childhood sweethearts.

In fact, in her heart, seeing that Peiyao is getting older and more beautiful, Xu's mother never thought that Peiyao's real background might also be the lady of a rich family.The Chen family is a country gentry, so Pei Yao from her family may not be worthy of the son of the Chen family.

It was later proved that her guess was completely correct.

When Chen Youliang rolled his eyes, he had an idea in his mind.

"Auntie, brother Tiande is a very talented person, and he will surely become famous in the future. How do you know that he is not good enough for the young lady of Yaowangzhuang? Well, if you are really worried, Auntie, I will be with sister Peiyao tomorrow, and my sister Brother Tiande, go to Yaowangzhuang to test the idea of ​​the owner, how about it?"

"Then, I will trouble you, Mr. Chen."

Xu Peiyao glanced at the man who was smiling confidently, but finally said nothing.

She actually had this idea in her heart.

The second elder brother finally fell in love with a girl, but it was not so easy to let go.

It's also good to have Chen Youliang here.At least he was afraid of Chen Youliang's current power, and the owner of Yaowangzhuang would not dare to reject his second brother's wishes.

As for the future?Wei Guogong, who has left his name in history, is still worried about his bright future?It's just a matter of waiting.

The future Mrs. Duke, this investment is a good deal, isn't it?

Seeing the beloved sister Pei Yao, Chen Youliang left contentedly.As for the Xu family after he left, Xu Da, who learned that he was going to visit Yaowangzhuang tomorrow, suffered from insomnia again.
