"Ninth Young Master arranged it?" Madam Xie frowned slightly, then looked at Xie Yixiao.
Xie Yixiao explained: "Earlier, Ninth Young Master said that he wanted to find a female guard with strong martial arts skills for me. I think it is the female guard."
"Female guard?" Mrs. Xie wanted to ask you what you want the female guard to do, but without even thinking about it, she ordered the maid, "Go and bring the person in."
The maid said yes and went out to invite the person in.
Mrs. Wen couldn't stay any longer, so she stood up: "Mother-in-law, little aunt, I'm a little tired, so I'm going back to rest first. Let A-Zhu go back with me. It just so happens that I can talk to her."
Mrs. Xie nodded: "Then you go back and have a good rest. Azhu will stay with your sister-in-law."
Xie Zhu responded: "Yes, eldest aunt."
A maid came forward to help Wen, and Xie Zhu walked beside her and left with her. Not long after they left, the maid from before came in with a woman.
She is about 23 or 24 years old. She wears black clothes and has a copper crown on her hair. She has a heroic appearance. Her appearance is not outstanding, but she is not bad either. Even her temperament looks a bit cold and hard, and she always looks cold.
Face.
"Greetings to Mrs. Xie, hello to Miss Xie." She came forward and saluted with clasped fists, quite like a chivalrous lady.
Mrs. Xie said: "No need to be polite, please sit down and I'll serve you some tea."
She thanked her, then sat down on the rose armchair, sitting upright, placing one hand on the desk at hand, looking up at Mrs. Xie, and then introduced herself and explained her purpose.
"My subordinate's name is Qingluo. I come here in the name of the young master to be a guard beside Miss Xie."
Mrs. Xie asked: "Miss Qingluo, do you know your surname?"
Qingluo replied: "As for Madam, my subordinates don't have surnames."
Mrs. Xie thought for a moment and was a little surprised. For example, most of the people around her master had abandoned their old names and were given names by their master, so they did not have surnames. These all had owners.
For example, most of the public guards keep their names. Since they don't have names, most of them are the master's personal guards or secret guards.
Could this Qingluo girl be a secret guard from Duke Rong's mansion?
Mrs. Xie asked again: "Are you going to be sent here for a while and then go back, or are you going to stay forever and regard my girl as your master? It's not that I'm nosy. After all, it's better to be the master of one person."
Qingluo understood and said: "Young Master ordered me to come here. Naturally, I regard Miss Xie as my master. From now on, I will only recognize Miss Xie as my master and listen to Miss Xie's orders. There is absolutely no intention of having two masters."
Mrs. Xie was satisfied: "In that case, I will have to trouble you in the future. In the future, you will be a member of the family. If there is anything missing, just tell your master."
"Yes." Qingluo agreed, and then said, "Before I came here, the young master also ordered me to say something, saying that it is an external matter, and the Xie family does not need to pay attention to it. The Rongguo government will handle it on its own, and let those people be tolerated.
Let’s make a fuss for now, and then we’ll get rid of it all to avoid future troubles.”
"Okay." After hearing this, Mrs. Xie's bad mood improved a little. She said, "There is nothing going on. You can follow your master back to Qingshan Garden to settle down."
"yes."
Xie Yixiao stood up: "Sister-in-law, Yixiao will leave first."
"Go ahead."
Xie Yixiao and Ming Xin Mingjing took Qingluo out of the house. As soon as they left the door, someone brought a package and a long sword. These were Qingluo's things. The people in the house did not allow her to bring them in before.
The group went to Qingshan Garden and entered the Dongkua Courtyard.
Xie Yixiao pushed open a room in the east wing, and then said to Qingluo: "Knowing that you were coming, we packed up a room early, but no one has lived in it for a long time, and it is not popular. It will be fine if we live there for a while.
You will stay here when you are at Xie's house."
"Thank you, Master."
Xie Yi smiled and said: "Don't call me master. Just like Ming Xin Ming Jing, you wake up when you call me girl. They live next door to you. If there is anything missing, you can tell them or me."
It’s the same.”
"I don't have anything to do on weekdays, and I don't need you to wait on me. I just want you to follow me when I go out. If you want to practice swordsmanship, there is a small bamboo forest on the left side of Qingshan Garden. There is an open space there."
"You can eat whatever they usually eat. If there's something you can't eat or something you particularly like to eat, you can tell them. The monthly salary is the same as theirs."
"Anyway, if they have it, you have it too."
Qingluo was a little surprised. She felt that this new master was quite open-minded. If it were anyone else, she might have to hammer it out first and lay out the master's profile. This one was really good and would arrange her daily life first.
It's ready.
I don't think he is difficult to get along with.
Qingluo breathed a sigh of relief, but it didn't show on his face.
She said: "Thank you very much, girl."
"No need." Xie Yixiao continued, "I also have requirements for you. Since you have taken me as your master, in the future, the affairs of the Xie family, Changning Marquis Mansion, and me are not allowed to be reported back to your old master.
, unless it is arranged by my instructions."
"You also don't want to pry into things you shouldn't pry into. People in this world always have some secrets. Do you understand?"
Qingluo accepted the order: "I understand."
"Okay, you can rest. I'll call you when I want to eat." Xie Yixiao remembered something again, "By the way, which green snail is your green snail? Qingluo Xiaofan's Qingluo?"
"
"To the girl, the blue is green, the luozidai is luo."
Xie Yixiao understood: "It's this green snail, it's pretty good too."
After Xie Yixiao arranged the people, she went back to rest. She was tired from dealing with so many people.
.
On the other side, Mrs. Rong Guogong and Mrs. Ming took a carriage to Fan Yue Tower. As soon as they got off the carriage, someone came to guide them upstairs.
Mrs. Yue and Yue Qingshuang upstairs had been waiting for a long time. When they heard that Mrs. Rong Guogong had arrived, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yue Qingshuang quickly asked her maid to take out the mirror to see if her clothes, jewelry, and makeup were appropriate. After checking, and seeing that there was no problem, she put down the bronze mirror and asked her mother: "Mom, do you think I'm okay like this?"
"
"Okay, okay, our Qingshuang is pretty no matter what." Mrs. Yue's face was full of smiles, "Among the girls in Mandi City, there is no one who can compare with you. After a while, the Duke and Madam saw you,
You will definitely be satisfied.”
Yue Qingshuang was still a little uneasy: "Really?"
Mrs. Yue said: "Of course it is true. My son is the most outstanding girl. Others have tried their best to ask for a wife, but they can't get it. How can he be dissatisfied if he can get this daughter-in-law from the Duke of Rongguo?"
Yue Qingshuang thought for a while, looking at the imperial city, it seemed that there were no girls better than her, so she breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"Don't worry, mother, when I marry the Ninth Young Master, everything will be fine..."
