I am a ruler in troubled times

After Song Peiyu handed over the prescription to Chen Meng, the townspeople who had been making trouble outside Sheng's house in Qingyu Lane all day soon dispersed.

However, the young masters of Sheng Zhai were greatly affected by this incident, but they would not easily step out of Sheng Zhai if they could let the servants go out instead of them. Even Lu Ji, who loved to hang out the most And also suddenly quiet down.

The Tongpan Mansion saw all the movements in the Sheng house, but had no time to appease the Sheng brothers for the time being. The Tongpan Mansion was busy researching the medicinal soap prescription sent by Sheng Yu.

The content of the recipe is very detailed, from the ingredients to the specific steps and even how to make the balls.

The process of making medicated soap by the people of Tongpan Mansion according to the prescription sent by Shengyu was not very smooth.I did it a total of ten times, and only succeeded three times in total, and the 'pills' I got were far less mellow than the ones Song Peiyu had sent to the Tongpan Mansion.

And whenever the people in Tongpanfu wanted to change a certain ingredient or a certain step in the recipe, trying to figure out the main ingredient of the 'Yaowanzi', they all failed without exception.

After three days of trying, there was no better result. Chen Tongjuan decided not to waste any more time. He called 'Yaowanzi' medicine soap according to the name on the prescription.

He also specially repaired a large yard as a place for making medicated soap, and then went to Sheng's house in person and asked Shengyu to be the chief steward of the medicated soap yard.

Song Peiyu was taken aback after hearing Chen Tongpan's intentions, "Major Manager?"

Chen Tongpan nodded with a smile on his face, and looked at Song Peiyu with indescribable kindness, "The medicine soap recipe is your Sheng family's stuff, if you are not allowed to be contaminated at all from now on, it would be unkind. You come to Yaozao Academy To be in charge, I am the master, and every year I will distribute two cents of the profit from the Medicine Soap Institute to the Sheng family."

Song Peiyu's expression was even more touched when he heard the words, and he looked at Chen Tongpan in surprise, "But... this is something to atone for Shengxing's sins. If I become a big steward, will it cause dissatisfaction among the townspeople again?"

"How could it be?" Chen Tong judged with a smile, "You make the medicinal soap prescription public, so that those of us who are isolated from the world can use good things that no one else can use. Besides, this is the recipe you researched My son, only if you become the big shopkeeper yourself, the Medicine Soap Institute can produce medicine soap with the fastest speed and efficiency. Besides, aren't you brothers also the townspeople of Qizhen now?"

"No one is more qualified than you to be the big shopkeeper. Just take this opportunity to let the townspeople see who you are, the Sheng Brothers, so as to eliminate their prejudice against you." Chen Tong judged. The words were all sincerely considered from the perspective of the Sheng brothers, and soon Song Peiyu's expression became more and more relaxed.

In the end, Song Peiyu didn't agree right away, she just said that this was a big deal and he had to discuss it with his brothers before making a decision.

Chen Tongpan was not disappointed when he heard the words, and even cared about Lu Jihe who did not show up in the tone of an elder, and once again assured that the previous things had passed, so that Lu Jihe could go out with confidence.

Bo Yang has long recognized the fact that his brain can't keep up with the reality, and he is completely afraid of Chong Yi and Song Peiyu's enthusiasm regardless of the occasion or location. When they heard that they wanted to discuss something, they refused all over their faces, and volunteered to go to the kitchen to make tonic , and also detained the remaining three servants in the kitchen.

Song Peiyu told Lu Jihe in detail what Chen Tongpan had talked with him, and finally ended with "he is very greedy".

Lu Jihe, who described being miserable and decadent, took a sip of hot tea slowly, and opened his mouth to sneer, "This old thief has a good idea, and he took away the prescription of medicinal soap. a carrot."

Song Peiyu frowned, and knocked on the table in dissatisfaction, "I don't eat carrots."

Don't think he didn't hear it, Lu Jihe was insinuating that he was a blind donkey.

It's just that Lu Jihe has suffered a lot recently. He has to put on a show in the Tongjuan Mansion, and when he returns to the house, he has to pretend to be crazy and foolish under the watchful eye of the three servants. His mood is not much better, and Song Peiyu is too lazy to haggle over every detail with Lu Jihe. .

After warning Lu Jihe, Song Peiyu turned to look at Chong Yi, "What do you think, brother?"

Chong Yi, whose hands were flying when playing Jiu Lianhuan, raised his head, and looked at Song Peiyu with that kind of innocent and loving eyes.

Song Peiyu stretched out her hand to block her eyes, unmoved, and even urged in her voice, "Say it quickly, don't say anything bad!"

Lu Jihe, who was full of irritability, leaned back in the chair, and also set his eyes on Chong Yi.

Chong Yi paused, and hesitated rarely when he spoke, "How about what?"

"Ha" Lu Jihe made no secret of his ridicule and gloating.

He had already discovered that Song Peiyu was trying very hard to make Chong Yi rely on a virtuous monarch.

Apart from laughing at Song Peiyu for being a fool, Lu Jihe could only lament how great the power of love is.

It actually made Song Peiyu put aside the family's glory and a brighter future, and focus on Chongyi's sake wholeheartedly.

It's a pity that to a certain extent, Chong Yi is really muddy and cannot support the wall.

Lu Jihe said that he had a great time watching the excitement.

Song Peiyu took a deep breath, although she was angry, she was not so easy to let Chong Yi go.

He stared at Chong Yi with burning eyes, "Did you hear what we just said?"

Helplessness flashed across Chong Yi's eyes, and he nodded.

"Then do you think I should agree to Chen Tongpan's request and go to the Medicine Soap Institute to be the big shopkeeper?" When Song Peiyu pressed her question, she still lowered the difficulty of the question after all.

As soon as Chong Yi was about to speak, he saw the warning in Song Peiyu's eyes, so he changed the word "casual" into "don't go, waste of time."

Song Peiyu could barely accept this answer, temporarily let Chong Yi go, but confiscated the Nine Links played by Chong Yi, so that Chong Yi could concentrate on listening to him and Lu Jihe.

After Chong Yi had nothing to pass the time, he could only focus on the person who was talking.He changed his posture, half-lying on the table, with his hands on his chin, facing Song Peiyu, his black and white eyes focused on Song Peiyu's side face.

Lu Jihe, who was enjoying watching the excitement, suddenly lost interest in watching the excitement, and just wanted to finish talking quickly, and then escape from this room that made him feel out of place.

In the end, in order to contribute to Chen Tongpan's great business of selling medicinal soap, Song Peiyu still agreed to Chen Tongpan's invitation and became the big shopkeeper of the medicinal soap house.

Song Peiyu also has five shopkeepers sent from the Tongpan Mansion for him to dispatch.

Seeing at least a hundred people appearing in the medicinal soap courtyard, Song Peiyu felt her head buzzing.

There are only a thousand people in Qizhen, and they directly recruited more than a hundred people to make soap... such a big problem, he couldn't even ignore it.

"There are so many people." Song Peiyu sighed from the bottom of her heart, looked at the shopkeeper beside her who hadn't remembered her name, and asked knowingly, "Do you need so many people to make medicated soap?"

The shopkeeper on the head was not at all panicked when asked, and explained to Song Peiyu with a smile, "Second Lord doesn't know something. It's just during the slack season that so many people can be summoned. The meaning of the general judgment is to take advantage of the many idle people now, and do as much as possible." Make more medicated soap, and the excess medicated soap can be put away first. If there is a shortage of people in other important places in the future, it is okay to temporarily close the medicated soap institute for a few years."

Song Peiyu nodded following the manager's words, pretending to believe it.

Song Peiyu's errand in Yaozaoyuan is very simple.

Reconciliation, warehousing, recording raw material consumption and other matters have nothing to do with Song Peiyu, and his five shopkeepers are responsible for these.

He just needs to sit in the medicine soap house.When a certain link of making medicated soap can't go on, someone will come to ask Song Peiyu for advice.

This kind of fool's errand is only busy in the first ten days.After the second round of medicated soap was ready, Song Peiyu went to the medicated soap house, and there was nothing to do except drink tea and snacks.

Naturally, Song Peiyu would not ask for an inventory of the warehouse, or to reconcile the accounts. He was just a little bored.

So Song Peiyu started arriving late and leaving early.

Sure enough, no one tried to stop Song Peiyu's behavior.

In September, Song Peiyu didn't reduce the number of people in the Medicine Soap House when the farming was busy in order not to expose it. She simply complained of illness and began to stay at home again.

Chen Meng, who hadn't seen him for many days, came to visit and brought a valuable gift.

Before leaving, he explained to Song Peiyu meaningfully, let him recuperate well, and don't rush back to the medicine soap hospital.If you have spare time, why not think about how the medicated soap can be improved, and you can tell the Tongjufu no matter what is missing.

From then on, Song Peiyu never went out of the gate of the Sheng Mansion in Qingyu Lane. She was busy brewing medicine or brewing wine all day long, and there were wine jars buried all over the small courtyard.

At the end of October, a strange face suddenly appeared in Qi Zhen.

When Song Peiyu heard the news, she was telling a story to Chong Yi.

It's still the routine of "Legend of Long Aotian". The protagonists all spent their time in a daze in their previous lives and ended up with no good end.

Of course, Song Peiyu did not forget to add virtuous ministers to Mingjun's stories. The end of each story is the harmony between the monarch and the ministers, and the world is peaceful.

"Who are they?" Song Peiyu looked at Angelica who came to report the news in surprise.

Ever since he was slandered and murdered and suffered a lot of crimes for no reason, 'Popular' has changed his personality drastically.

The originally handsome and generous young master became suspicious, gloomy and irritable.From the pleasure of appreciating people to the pleasure of making fun of people.

The remaining three servants in Sheng's house were all deeply affected by it.

The greatest joy of 'Popularity' is to call the servants into his room alone, and carefully describe the scene of Baizhi being tortured to the servants.Whenever the servants showed any abnormal expressions, he would get angry and make the servants kneel in the yard all night.

As time went on, the remaining three servants in Sheng's house became more and more silent and honest.

I don't know if it's because I feel sorry for Bai Zhi's end, or because I'm simply exhausted physically and mentally from being tormented by 'Popularity'.

At this time, Danggui is much more disciplined than when he first arrived at Sheng Zhai half a year ago, at least he knows not to cast his eyes randomly when answering the master.

"Back to the second master, the slave just met a stranger when he was shopping for vegetables, and he casually asked the old woman who was buying vegetables, and then he found out that about a dozen strangers entered the town yesterday, but I don't know the specific circumstances. .If you are curious, I will ask you later." Angelica lowered her head a bit, and her eyes were always on her toes.

Song Peiyu waved his hand in a dispirited manner, "Go."

When Danggui turned around to leave, Song Peiyu called Danggui back, "Wait, call fourth master to have tea with me first."

He is not in the mood to argue with these slaves, but Lu Jihe is.

After listening to Song Peiyu's words, Dang Gui became visibly stiff to the naked eye, walked out of the Nuan Pavilion on the same hands and feet, and looked at death as if she were at home from the back.

"Tsk." Song Peiyu shook her head, "There are still rules to learn."

Chong Yi turned his head to look at Song Peiyu, and easily saw Song Peiyu's joy hidden under the calmness.

Dang Gui soon returned to Sheng Mansion with new news.

The new faces who entered Qizhen were all from the vicinity of Zengzhen. They were refugees from the war and had nowhere to go. They left their hometown because they were poor and miserable.

"Zeng Zhen is fighting?" Song Peiyu unfolded the folding fan in hand, and all the thoughts after settling down in Qi Zhen came to his mind one after another.

Dang Gui nodded, with both envy and fear in his eyes, "I heard that the townspeople in Zeng Town have countless gold in their homes, and you can get gold by just walking on the street. The three kingdoms of Yan, Wei, and Li all sent troops for gold. It's already a pot of porridge!"

Lu Jihe responded casually, and suddenly said, "How does the Tongju government plan to deal with these escaped refugees?"

Dang Gui's heart trembled, and she carefully looked at Lu Jihe's face, and said in a low voice, "I heard that Master Tong San intends to send these people to the Medicine Soap Institute."

Lu Jihe glanced at Danggui, and said lightly, "It's a pity, I was thinking that if the judge didn't make arrangements, I would buy a few back as slaves."

Hearing this, Danggui didn't dare to speak anymore. When he saw Lu Jihe, his knees became weak, and he wished he could kneel in the corner of the yard immediately to reflect. He didn't look like he was smart in front of Song Peiyu at all.

In the end, those refugees were sent to the medicine soap hospital as Angelica said.

As if Song Peiyu suddenly remembered that she was still the chief manager of the Medicine Soap Institute, one morning, she appeared at the door of the Medicine Soap Institute without warning.

Sensing the stewards' precautions and vigilance towards him, Song Peiyu pulled out a kind smile and said softly, "I heard from Angelica that some newcomers came to the medicine soap house, and I thought they might not be familiar with the process of making medicine soap, so I deliberately come and see."

After all, Song Peiyu was appointed by Chen Tongpan himself as the chief steward of the medicinal soap institute. No matter what the others thought, they could not refuse Song Peiyu's entry into the medicinal soap institute before Chen Tongpan gave clear instructions.

Fortunately, Song Peiyu really did what he said, just came to see the newcomers, even though the scene in the medicine soap house was completely different from a few months ago, she didn't show any abnormality.

Wherever the shopkeeper led him, he followed without looking around.

Only then did the shopkeeper who led the way for Song Peiyu gradually let go of his vigilance, and the smile on his face was no longer stiff.

When the refugees from near Zeng Town heard that Song Peiyu was the manager of the Medicine Soap House, they all looked very respectful.Their words were full of gratitude to the Tongpan Mansion and fear of Zeng Zhen.

According to these refugees, the Yan army, the Wei army and the Li army had launched several wars, and they all occupied Zengzhen. Until they decided to leave their hometown, Zengzhen was still fighting.

Song Peiyu changed the subject, and asked these refugees if they had encountered people from Zhao State on the way to escape, or businessmen who had just left Zhao State.

After getting a negative answer, the smile on Song Peiyu's face was barely visible to the naked eye. He cheered up and comforted the refugees, and then hurriedly left the medicine soap hospital, without any intention of going to other places to see.

Song Peiyu's words and deeds in the Yaozaoyuan were soon known by Chen Tongjuan. He pondered for a while, and sighed pitifully, "Poor young man, he hasn't given up hope of going home."

Liu Li, who was standing behind Chen Tongpan with his hands behind his back, moved his eyes slightly, and suddenly said, "Recently, there have been a lot of merchants from the Zhao Kingdom on the outskirts of the town. Could they be looking for the Sheng Brothers?"

Chen Tong judged the hot tea he had just brewed, and laughed at Liu Li's suspicion that he was too suspicious, "Since they started selling medicinal soap, which country's traveling merchants would rather risk their fortune and life to get close to Qizhen? The Ruosheng brothers Your family really has that much ability, there will be movement when they first arrived in Qizhen, why wait until now?"

"Your Excellency is wise." Liu Li bowed his head in complete convincing.

Although Liu Li can't speak beautiful words, Chen Tongpan likes Liu Li's stubborn temper.

He himself is a smart person, and there are many smart people around him, so he can feel the benefits of straightforward people.

It is precisely because of this that he can regard Liu Li as his confidant and entrust Liu Li to do the most important things.

"Tell people outside to be vigilant. Except for the refugees from Zeng Town, no one is allowed to come in, especially people from Zhao Guo." Chen Tongpan thought for a while, and then said, "Don't stop Shengyu from going to the Medicine Soap House, But every time you have to send someone to follow him, and when he leaves, immediately tell me what he did in the Medicine Soap House.”

"Yes" Liu Li accepted Chen Tongpan's explanation seriously.

After the refugees were settled in the Medicine Soap House for the first time, every time a newcomer entered Qizhen, they would be placed in the Medicine Soap House.

Song Peiyu always went to Yaozaoyuan every three to five days, and every time he went straight to the newcomers who moved in, asked about the situation around Zeng Town, and then focused on asking these people, fled from Zeng Town to Qizhen Have you ever met a businessman from Zhao State on the way?

Over time, even the stewards of the Medicine Soap Institute got used to it.After newcomers arrive at the Medicine Soap Academy, they will send someone to report to the Sheng Mansion in Qingyu Lane.Song Peiyu reciprocated, and when he went to the Yaozaoyuan, he deliberately dug up the jar of wine he brewed, and invited the stewards to have a meal at the Shixianglou.

Song Peiyu's wine-making techniques are many times better than the traditional wine-making techniques here. As soon as the wine jars are opened, the strong aroma of wine comes out.

The stewards were shocked and couldn't help asking, "Is this really the wine made by the second master at the end of August? It's only been two months, and the taste is so mellow. Even if you tell us that this is a 20-year-old wine, we won't let it go." There is no doubt about it.”

Song Peiyu was so amused that she laughed out loud, and waved her hand proudly, "What is this? My yard is full of wine. If you like, you can come to Sheng's house to beg for wine during the New Year's Eve. At this time The wine is only drinkable, and it cannot be called fine wine until it has been buried in the ground for three months."

Seeing that Song Peiyu was so generous, the stewards suspected that Song Peiyu's wine just smelled like a bluff, and in fact it might not be much better than Baishui.

Then they got slapped in the face.

If this is white water, then what is the wine they drank before?

Yellow urine?

As expected of a son of a noble family, his whole body exudes generosity, even more grand than the eldest son.

Song Peiyu hadn't had a few drinks yet, and the stewards fell down like dumplings, "plop", "plop".

Song Peiyu, who hadn't even started to feel dizzy, was stunned for a moment. He suspected that these stewards were playing him. How could someone have a worse drinking capacity than him?

He laughed and cursed, raised his foot and kicked the person who happened to be lying next to him, "Stop pretending, get up quickly, the second master will not come back with you if you are not drunk today."

The person at Song Peiyu's feet was motionless.

Song Peiyu frowned, bent down, and reached out to the man's nose.

When Song Peiyu's hand was still an inch away from the man's nose, the man opened his mouth slightly, and a thunderous snoring sounded suddenly, which made Song Peiyu subconsciously lean back.

At this time, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside, and the shopkeeper of Shixiang Building was also stunned when he saw the people lying on the ground in disorder, and looked at Song Peiyu, the only sober one, wondering, "What's wrong?"

Song Peiyu covered her face, and suddenly started laughing, "They are all drunk by the good wine I brought."

The expression on the shopkeeper's face became even more strange, and he couldn't help stretching his neck to look at the open wine jar on the table.

In fact, he was also attracted by the smell of wine, and he hadn't smelled such a strong smell of wine for a long time.

"Second master, can I give this old man a glass of wine?" The shopkeeper looked down at Song Peiyu.

Song Peiyu waved his hands proudly, "Drink! Since they are not lucky, the rest of the wine will be given to the shopkeeper!"

The shopkeeper raised a smile on his face, sat on the vacant seat beside Song Peiyu, took out an exquisite jade cup from his bosom, and drank it himself very happily.

The big shopkeeper didn't speak, Song Peiyu concentrated on eating food, and those drunkards who had already collapsed were only focused on drinking and didn't eat much food, just enough for Song Peiyu to eat their chopsticks.

By the time Song Peiyu was full, the shopkeeper had already poured wine into the sea bowl no less than ten times. According to the amount, he had drunk almost two or three times as much as the stewards on the ground.

However, when Song Peiyu looked up at the big shopkeeper, besides his face turned slightly red, the big shopkeeper was able to smile back at Song Peiyu in his spare time, asking if Song Peiyu had eaten well, and if not, he would call someone to serve the food.

"Good drinker" Song Peiyu extended a thumbs up to the shopkeeper, feeling sincerely.

The shopkeeper smiled and said modestly, "Compared to the second master, it is still far behind."

"I can't compare to you." Song Peiyu shook his head honestly, his alcohol capacity was not good, but he seemed better compared with those people on the ground.

After the initial sense of absurdity passed, Song Peiyu felt that those on earth who lived and grew up in Qizhen and never drank too much alcohol could get drunk so easily.

The biggest reason why the wine he brews is extra mellow is that the alcohol content is much higher than other wines.

Song Peiyu chatted with the big shopkeeper for a while, and gave the rest of the wine to the big shopkeeper as he kept his word, and went home directly.

The stewards were all down. If he went to the medicine soap hospital to see the new refugees at this time, wouldn't he poke Chen Tongpan's lung tube?

Song Peiyu would never do such a stupid thing.

Two days later, when Song Peiyu appeared at the Medicine Soap House, he was warmly welcomed by all the stewards for the first time.

Song Peiyu chatted with them a few words, and then proposed to visit the new refugees who came to Qizhen.

It was still the steward surnamed Qian who led Song Peiyu, but his attitude was unprecedentedly hospitable, which even made Song Peiyu feel a little disturbing.

Whenever new refugees enter the Medicine Soap House, they are initially placed alone.

The explanation given by the Tongjuanfu is that since the refugees came to Qizhen, they are the townspeople of Qizhen, and Qizhen is willing to wait for a period of time for them to recover their spirits and clear up their mood.

As for the real thoughts of the Tongpanfu, it is unknown.

As far as Song Peiyu knew, the first batch of refugees who arrived in Qizhen a month ago only started to work in the medicine soap hospital yesterday.

This time the newly arrived refugees were indeed resettled in a new place.

Anyway, after more than three months, the so-called yaozaoyuan has almost turned into yaozao street, and some yards are empty.

It took another inspection to enter the courtyard. Refugees with loose hair and sackcloth were sitting neatly in the courtyard, listening to a steward speak.

When Song Peiyu saw this picture for the first time, she felt like some kind of mysterious organization was in class, but she was still unable to confirm her guess.

Because every time he came, the steward who was in charge of speaking would stop temporarily.

Soong Peiyu still doesn't know the content of the steward's speech.

This time was no exception. The manager who was speaking stopped immediately when he saw Song Peiyu, and said to the refugees who were looking up at him, "Second Master is here to see you."

After hearing the words, the refugees all turned their heads to look in Song Peiyu's direction, their faces were mixed with numbness, stiffness, blankness and many other emotions, but they were not even half popular.

Song Peiyu silently clenched the newly acquired jade pendant around his waist. No matter how many times he watched this kind of underworld scene, he couldn't get used to it.

Looking across the numb faces one by one, Song Peiyu suddenly heard a violent heartbeat.

Guanshi Qian followed Song Peiyu's frozen gaze, and landed on a gray-haired old woman. He exchanged glances with the steward who was giving a lecture, and looked at Song Peiyu inquiringly, "What's wrong with the second master?"

Song Peiyu smiled wryly, and lowered her eyelids in disappointment, "No, I suddenly remembered my mother-in-law who served me since I was a child. I don't know how she is now. Without her master, will she be bullied by other servants?"

The originally handsome young man suddenly became depressed, and even Guanshi Qian couldn't bear it, and comforted him, "Second Master, don't be sad, since she is a respectable old man in front of you, life will not be too bad."

Song Peiyu nodded reluctantly, and asked those refugees questions as usual, but she always looked absent-minded, only when she asked the old woman, she talked a lot.

After talking with the old lady, Song Peiyu remained silent for a long time, bowed his head in silence for a long time, then raised his head to look at Guanshi Qian, his bright eyes were unknowingly stained with a thin layer of red, he whispered, " Can you let me take this old woman away? It's just a thought in front of my eyes."

Guanshi Qian didn't expect Song Peiyu to make this request suddenly, his face immediately stiffened, and he said dryly, "Although the Tongju government is willing to accommodate them, these people have no good records. Only then can you have a good record."

"It's not a problem." Song Peiyu's face softened a little, and he smiled, "It's just a servant for Sheng's house. It just happens that they are not careful enough, and there should be an elderly person in the yard to take care of it."

As soon as Song Peiyu said that, she went to untie the purse on her waist, "But she has to pay her prostitution money? I'll pay double!"

"Oh, Second Master, don't ask the little ones." Guanshi Qian hurriedly blocked Song Peiyu's movements, his face was wrinkled, "I can't make the decision on this matter, I'll go and ask the person who can make the decision for you, okay?" ?”

"By the way, I will also take the little girl she brought with me." Song Peiyu reminded Guanshi Qian.

Guanshi Qian agreed repeatedly, and trotted out of the courtyard.

The refugees also heard Song Peiyu's conversation with Guanshi Qian, and cast envious glances at the old woman and the little girl in her arms.

They don't know what they can do if they stay here, but if they leave that young man who seems to be shining, their future life will definitely be the same.

"Second Master?" Song Peiyu felt her robe being pulled off as her childish voice sounded.

The boy who looked less than ten years old cautiously looked up at Song Peiyu, and said in a low voice, "Can you take me away too? I will run errands for you, guard the door, and release geese. I can do anything!"

The steward who stayed in the yard suddenly couldn't stand up, and was about to kick the boy, cursing, "I taught you how to behave, didn't I? The second master hasn't spoken yet, so there's no place for you to speak!"

Song Peiyu reached out her hand to stop the steward, her eyes full of disapproval, "Why are you getting angry with him? He just wanted a better place to go."

Hearing this, the boy who fell to the ground and shrunk himself into a ball when he saw the steward's movements, silently wiped away his tears, and looked at Song Peiyu more earnestly.

Song Peiyu didn't make any promises to the boy, and took the steward beside him to gossiping on the only chair in the yard, waiting for the steward Qian to come back.

It is doomed to have no results, so why give people hope.

After waiting for about an hour, Guanshi Qian came back wiping off his sweat, and opened his mouth, "Second Master, I'm afraid you won't be able to take these two people with you."

Disappointment was evident on Song Peiyu's face, but she didn't get angry because of it, she just stared fixedly at Guanshi Qian.

Seeing this, Guanshi Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and carefully explained the reason to Song Peiyu, "This old woman is over fifty, and the little girl is not yet ten. The Tongju government is planning to separate the elderly over 50 and the children under ten. Resettlement, arrange some extra easy work for them. If you take them away, Second Master, when the Tongju Mansion announces this matter again, I am afraid that the refugees will be suspicious."

The disappointment on Song Peiyu's face was even worse, and she raised her voice, "That's it."

Seeing that Song Peiyu wanted to leave in disappointment, Guanshi Qian hurriedly chased after him, looked at Song Peiyu's sinking face and whispered, "The judge heard that there are not enough servants in your yard, so I asked you to bring back a few servants from the refugees. Use it, and I will send you their deed of sale later."

"Which yard do you want refugees from? Except for the first batch of refugees who are already working in the medicine soap yard, I'm afraid it's not convenient to serve you. You can choose other refugees as you like." Guanshi Qian didn't expect Song Peiyu to be really angry. The pace is getting faster and faster.He had just trotted all the way back from the Tongpan mansion, and he didn't even have time to catch his breath.In order to catch up with Song Peiyu's footsteps, it was even worse, and even made a gasp.

Song Peiyu stopped abruptly, with strong impatience flashing across her face, she was silent for a while before saying in a muffled voice, "No need, just pick two of these people and go back."

Guanshi Qian had never seen Song Peiyu's face so down.

Even though the stewards of the Medicine Soap Institute had blatantly excluded Song Peiyu, Song Peiyu still wore a smile that made people feel refreshed all the time, so much so that they thought Song Peiyu was a clay figurine.

Feeling Song Peiyu's anger suddenly, Guanshi Qian felt unbearable.

But when he thought about it again, he felt that this was the right thing to do.

The second master is a son of an aristocratic family, how could he have no temper?

Before I thought about it, I was really too lazy to argue with them.

Guanshi Qian wanted to appease Song Peiyu.

Even if it wasn't for the fine wine at the Sheng Mansion in Qingyu Lane, and because of the attention that the Tongpan Mansion attached to the second master, he still couldn't ruin his errand.

So what if the poor second master is a son of a family?

When we arrived in Qizhen, we still had to look at the face of Tongpanfu.

With many complicated thoughts in mind, Guanshi Qian had a strange and ferocious look on his face, but his voice was very humble, "What kind of slave do you want? I will choose it for you myself."

"No need." Song Peiyu didn't even look at Guanshi Qian, and returned to the side of the refugees who were still sitting obediently like a gust of wind, pointing in two directions at random, "Just the two of them, follow me."

The refugees didn't hear the words of Guanshi Qian and Peiyu Song. They never expected that after Song Peiyu came back, the people who were going to take away were no longer the old woman and the little girl.

Moreover, Song Peiyu was extremely perfunctory when pointing at people, she lowered her arm as soon as she raised it, not to mention the refugees, even the two stewards didn't see clearly who Song Peiyu was pointing at.

Everyone present was stunned for a moment.

In the corner of the refugee suddenly stood up an eight-foot-tall man, and walked behind Song Peiyu in three steps.

A thin voice came from among the refugees, "He's not..."

Sensing the fierce gaze of the big man, the speaker froze for a moment, jumped up suddenly, and ran behind Song Peiyu.

At this time, the other refugees also realized that they wanted to imitate the big man and the skinny man who jumped up suddenly ran towards Song Peiyu, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Guanshi Qian quickly pulled out the whip from his waist and waved it, screaming, "Sit down, sit down!"

The yamen servants outside rushed in one after another when they heard the commotion, and the excited refugees froze instantly. In the end, standing behind Song Peiyu were the strong man and the skinny man at the beginning.

Song Peiyu looked impatiently at the two people, both of whom he hadn't had time to ask, "What did you do originally? What's your name?"

The big man rushed to speak, "I am Orion, and my name is Dali."

The thin man lowered his head timidly, and said in a low voice, "I'm a vagrant with no name."

Song Peiyu said 'hmm', "Then you will be called Da Zhuang and leave."

After finishing speaking, Song Peiyu took out a piece of silver from her purse and stuffed it into Guanshi Qian's hand, said, "Take care of the old woman", before turning her head and leaving.

Dali and Dazhuang hurriedly followed.

The group went straight back to Sheng's house in Qingyu Lane.

It was Danggui who opened the door, he looked hesitantly at the two unfamiliar faces behind Song Peiyu.

Song Peiyu passed Angelica without looking back, still with an unhappy expression on her face, "They are new boys, you and Bai Zhi go to boil water and let them wash well."

When Dang Gui heard 'Bai Zhi', she felt chills all over her body. She didn't dare to ask more questions, let alone remind Song Peiyu that Bai Zhi was gone. She closed the door and ran to the kitchen in desperation.

Da Zhuang stood there and hesitated for a while, seeing that Dali was always behind Song Peiyu, so he also followed.

Song Peiyu aggressively pushed the door of Chongyi's room, and it happened that Chongyi, Lu Jihe and Bo Yang were all there, and they all looked over in surprise.

"Hao Shi!" The severe pain in his waist distorted Bo Yang's face in an instant, his eyes moved down, he pointed at Song Peiyu's waist, and he changed his tone abruptly, "What a rock!"

Song Peiyu couldn't help but rolled her eyes, grabbed the jade pendant from her waist and threw it to Bo Yang, saying angrily, "Here you are!"

"Heh" Lu Jihe raised his eyebrows, turned his eyes from Dali and Dazhuang to Song Peiyu, and opened his mouth in a strange way, "Where did you get angry and go home and get angry, third brother can't even boast about your broken stone? This kind of thing is not worthy of being called a jade pendant!"

Song Peiyu sat down directly beside Chong Yi, not fussing with Lu Jihe as he did countless times before, and helplessly supported his forehead, "OK, OK, I just bought something rare, it's really not a jade pendant."

Lu Jihe saw that Song Peiyu was timid, sneered, and looked at Huangqi who was adding tea with sharp eyebrows, "I'm blind to your dog eyes, did you see that the second master is very angry today? Why don't you boil the soup to clear your heart!"

Huang Qi was so frightened by Lu Jihe that she trembled, almost didn't even hold the teapot, and ran away, even forgetting to close the door.

Song Peiyu kneaded the center of her brows, looking as if she was being forced to do nothing by Brother Xiong, looked tiredly at Dali and Dazhuang who were standing dumbfounded at the door, and beckoned, "Come here"

Dali, no, Hao Shi took advantage of the fact that the cowards around him were so frightened that he didn't even dare to look up, his eyes swept over Chong Yi eagerly, and his vision instantly became blurred.

Your Highness is indeed blessed and blessed!

The author has something to say: the big man rushed to speak, "I am Orion, and my name is Dali"

The thin man lowered his head timidly, and said in a low voice, "I'm a vagrant with no name."

Song Peiyu said 'hmm', "Then you are called Miracle, go away."
