The two guards who had been beaten looked helpless. They couldn't be hit or evaded. One of them said pitifully: "Can you please stop slapping me in the face? The injury last time hasn't healed yet. They laughed at us for several days."
Already."
After saying that, he rubbed his dark eyes.
Gu Qingying readily agreed: "I won't slap you in the face in the future. Come on, let's make a quick decision."
She has gained a lot of combat experience from fighting with the guards in the past two days, which is why she is willing to compete with these guards every day.
The eight people all put on their postures. What Gu Qingying took today was a wooden stick used to bolt the door.
The five Hongshi people hid aside and watched in horror, but they saw that Gu Qingying was able to move among the eight people with ease. As the guard fell, Gu Qingying curled her lips and said in disgust: "You are not good! Go back and practice more, beat that one yesterday
It took eight people a quarter of an hour, but it didn’t even take a quarter of an hour to beat you today."
The skills of these guards were uneven. She could feel some of them trying their best, and she could feel some of them trying their best.
It stands to reason that the guards of Zhennan Palace are all carefully selected, and their skills should be good.
But she had fought against the guards and found that these people were not very strong.
The two people who had been beaten before were lying on the ground looking at the sky, somewhat doubtful about life.
Why is it that a woman who usually looks delicate can hit someone so painfully and so harshly?
Gu Qingying handed the wooden stick to Hongshi and said to Dongmei and the others: "Follow me to the Yamen."
The four of them are very happy. As long as they have a bond of sale, it proves that they are Gu Qingying's people. They have also been observing Gu Qingying in the past two days and confirmed that he is a good master.
When Gu Qingying went out from the main entrance today, the concierge was very surprised. He served him carefully and thoughtfully prepared a carriage for him.
On the carriage, Gu Qingying glanced at the four people who were in high spirits, and said helplessly: "This is the first time I saw someone so happy to be sold. Why do you want to sell yourself to me so much? Isn't it bad to be free?"
Dongmei grinned and said: "It's best to follow the master. Master, you don't know that we have always been disliked at home. No one has ever been so kind to us as you."
She didn't feel that overwhelming contempt from Gu Qingying, nor did she feel that Gu Qingying treated them as servants. Gu Qingying treated them more like an elder sister taking care of his younger sister.
Bao'er and Yaoyao kept nodding their heads, Xiu Xiu was a bit shy, but also looked at Lu Qingying expectantly.
When Gu Qingying heard this, she felt sorry for the four of them, but she still wanted to say something first: "Since you are willing to sell yourselves to me, I will not give you less money than you deserve, twenty taels of silver per person."
She asked Hongqiao, and Hongqiao said that she had been sold for eight taels of silver.
Dongmei waved her hands and refused: "Master, there is no need to pay so much money, we are not worth the price."
Gu Qingying said solemnly: "I said you are worth it, you are worth it. I think I gave you less. In my heart, you are priceless. When you grow up and make money, you can use the money to redeem yourself and sell yourself when you want to leave.
Just make a contract."
She didn't expect to take in four people, but since she did, she must take responsibility.
The carriage quickly arrived at the Yamen. Gu Qingying took the four of them into the Yamen to apply for the deed of sale, and then asked the coachman to take the four of them back home.
After going to Jucai Lane and being busy again, she planned to go to the Xiangxiang Building to wait for Shen Yunzheng.
The spiritual spring water given to Shen Yunzheng yesterday seemed to have an effect.
She had tested it herself, and it was effective immediately after drinking it.
When the shopkeeper of Xiangxiang Tower saw Gu Qingying, his attitude was much more enthusiastic than before. Shen Yunzheng had repeatedly told him to take good care of Gu Qingying, but he was even more enthusiastic and respectful to him. How could he dare to neglect him?
He didn't know Gu Qingying before, but he also knew Gu Qingying's status in the hearts of his old club and his boss.
It hurts to hold it in my heart.
Now that they know each other, he must serve this little ancestor well and not dare to neglect him in the slightest.
The shopkeeper personally took Gu Qingying up to the third floor and went to the private room yesterday.
Gu Qingying also noticed that there were six private rooms on the third floor, and three of them facing the street had a good view.
The shopkeeper stood by and asked, "What does the princess want to eat today?"
Gu Qingying hadn't eaten rabbit heads from the restaurant in the past few days, and asked a little confused: "Why haven't I seen rabbit meat being sold in the restaurant?"
She gave the rabbit recipe to Shen Yunzheng. She was so greedy for spicy rabbit heads and double pepper rabbit heads. She had a duel with Li Cang yesterday and forgot to order.
Now that I have plenty of time, I remembered that it seemed that the shopkeeper did not take the initiative to recommend it.
The shopkeeper quickly explained: "The chef in the back kitchen hasn't slept well in the past two days. He is just studying the recipe given by the owner, but he always feels that the taste is not good."
Gu Qingying frowned slightly: "Why is it so close? As long as you follow the recipe, there will be nothing wrong."
She had made those recipes herself, and she remembered the process of each dish very clearly.
The shopkeeper shook his head and expressed that he was unclear: "Please forgive me, Princess. She also knows that I only take care of business in the front hall, and I don't understand anything about the back hall."
This sentence is true.
Gu Qingying didn't embarrass the shopkeeper. He hesitated and said: "It's not yet noon, so just in time, you ask the chef to make a double pepper rabbit, and I will try it out."
The shopkeeper was a smart man and immediately understood that the recipe might have been written by Gu Qingying, so he left quickly without asking any questions.
Gu Qingying stood by the window and drank tea slowly.
I have to say that the view from the Xiangxiang Tower is very good. Not only can you see far away, but the most important thing is that you can see the scenery of Fenghuang Mountain.
No wonder Li Cangjue likes to come to Xianglou.
As soon as I thought of Li Cangjue, I saw a familiar figure getting off the carriage at the door, and a young woman got off the carriage with the figure.
The woman was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and she was dressed very dignifiedly, because from a height, one could not clearly see her appearance.
I screamed inwardly, how awesome! No wonder I ignored Gu Lian'er before, but now I've hooked up with a better girl.
"Tsk tsk" twice and then looked away.
Downstairs, Li Cangjue always felt like someone was watching him. When he looked up, he saw Gu Qingying standing by the window, and he felt a little panicked.
Could it be that it was Gu Qingying who was looking at him just now? Could this woman have misunderstood him?
Li Jingyi, who had already walked through the door, turned around and asked, "Brother, what are you looking at?"
Li Cangjue withdrew his gaze, shook his head at Li Jingyi and said, "I didn't see anything, let's go upstairs."
The brother and sister went upstairs and entered the room next to Gu Qingying.
Gu Qingying heard the noise in the room next door, but she didn't move and had no intention of eavesdropping.
The eavesdropping yesterday was because of Gu Lian'er, so she didn't care who Li Cangjue brought with him today, it had nothing to do with her.
The shopkeeper himself walked into the house carrying the two pepper rabbits, followed by the chef.
Lu Qingying was not polite, walked to the table, picked up the chopsticks and started tasting.
After taking the first bite, he shook his head: "It's best to use pickled peppers for the Double Pepper Rabbit. There are pickled peppers in the restaurant."
