Before leaving, it was still time to count the people and horses.
Wei Jun was bound to follow, and he was used to it. He had gone from being the Lord's personal attendant to being the third lady's servant.
——When there was no Xiaoman in Dongjiang, he would deal with trivial matters full-time for the third lady.
Dr. Huang also took him with him. The capital is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. Who knows what will happen.
In this way, there was still a need for someone to handle practical matters, so Xu Yin asked Shi Wenyi, the former chief of Yongcheng.
Xu Huanting was surprised. She originally thought she would ask Tian Zhi, the fat man who used to be Wu Zijing's messenger. Last time he went to Dongjiang with her, he performed well. Now that he has tasted the sweetness of being an errand in Nanyuan, he is already honest.
Xu Yin explained to his father: "That Tian Zhi is greedy for money, lustful, and adapts to the wind. Even if such a person is subdued, he cannot be entrusted with important tasks. The last time I went to Dongjiang, the risks were all within my estimation. I can use him."
That's enough. When I go back to the capital, I have to face many unpredictable situations, and I need an absolutely loyal backing."
Xu Huan nodded, feeling quite pleased: "You know how to recognize people, so you can rest assured as a father."
Wen Yi was an old-fashioned man. After being impressed by Xu Yin in Yongcheng, he devoted himself to serving the Xu family. For such a person, there is no need to worry that he will betray his master. Moreover, he manages the whole city in an orderly manner, and his talents are much better than Tian Zhi.
With these three people, a team was set up to go to the capital. The specific matters were left to them.
After Xu Yin made his decision, Chai Qi brought his junior sister to ask for an audience.
"Are you going to the capital with Xiao Sang?" she asked.
Chai Qi shook his head: "I hope that Miss San will take Xiao Sang with her."
Xu Yin said "Oh". He took it himself and added Xiao Sang to the list of entourage. Let her take it, which means personal service.
"But Xiao Sang is recovering from her illness. Her body..."
"I'm fine!" Xiao Sang explained eagerly, "Miss Third, I've been raising her for more than half a year, and Dr. Huang said she's fine."
Chai Qi stopped and said: "Xiao Sang! Don't be unruly, the third lady is talking!"
The little girl understood and glanced at Xu Yin uneasily: "Miss Third, I...I was wrong..."
Xu Yin smiled: "It's okay."
Although Xiao Sang has been in the Governor's Mansion for more than half a year, he has been recuperating in the back streets. It is normal for him not to understand the rules of a wealthy family. Xu Yin doesn't even restrain Xiao Man, let alone her.
Chai Qidao: "Miss Third, Xiao Sang's health is fine. I have asked Dr. Huang that there is no problem in traveling far away. If we go out, the captain of the guard and I are both men and cannot protect her personally. If you keep her by your side,
If you encounter danger, you can give a warning in time.”
As he spoke, Xiao Sang nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. She wanted to add something, but then she remembered the rules just now and hesitated.
Xu Yin nodded slightly to her: "You say."
Xiao Sang hurriedly said: "Third Miss, I know all the skills in the Brotherhood, disguise, Qinggong, sound recognition, smelling... I can do all these. If someone is bad for you, I will definitely find it out at the first time. That is...
I was sick before, so my martial arts training wasn't very good, but Miss Third, you are so good, my martial arts is almost okay, right?"
Xu Yin couldn't help but laugh: "You are quite frank."
Xiao Sang was not familiar with her and couldn't understand what she meant, so she was a little worried.
Xu Yin thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, let's go together."
The senior brothers and sisters were overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Miss Third."
The Governor's Mansion treats its guests generously, and even though he has been living well in the past few months, he has been living in fine clothes and food every day. The honest man feels uneasy and always wants to find something to do for himself.
Xiao Sang went back to pack her things and moved into Qushui Pavilion that day. She wanted to learn some rules and get familiar with the third lady's daily life before leaving.
Xu Yin and his father finished dinner and went back to wash up.
Xiaoman didn't know what he was thinking, he was so absent-minded that he almost got burned while drying his hair, but Xia Zhi saw it and snatched it back in time.
"What are you doing? You are so careless in serving the lady." Xia Zhi scolded.
Xiao Man lowered his head and said nothing.
Xu Yin saw something was wrong and said: "Let me scold her, you go to your sister's place!"
Of course she had to teach her own girl a lesson. Xia Zhi agreed and went out.
There was no one else in the room, so Xu Yin sat up and asked her, "What happened? She looked like she was about to cry."
She didn't say it was okay, but when she said "Wow" Xiaoman really started crying, and the tears flowed down, as if the dam had burst.
Xu Yin was startled, and quickly pulled her to sit down and said, "What's wrong? Didn't I just say a few words to you? Xia Zhi usually controls you like this, but you never get angry with her."
Xiaoman shook his head while crying, and said with sobs: "I'm not angry with sister Xia Zhi, I am, I am..."
"What's going on?" Xu Yin wondered. Apart from Xia Zhi, she was the most arrogant girl in the house. Who else could make her feel angry?
Just as she was thinking about it, Xiao Man grabbed her sleeve and asked in a tearful tone: "Miss, do you not want me anymore?"
Xu Yin was confused by her question, why did it come to him?
"You're so good, what nonsense are you talking about? Why don't I want you anymore?"
"Then why did you bring that Xiao Sang back?" Xiaoman looked at her accusingly, "You even asked her to go to the capital with you. Miss, you didn't even take me there!"
It turns out that the problem lies here, Xu Yin couldn't even laugh or cry.
Anyway, after everything was said, Xiaoman simply let go: "It was the same when I went back to Dongjiang last time. The eldest lady also brought Xia Zhi with her. Miss, you just refused to take me. If you don't take me with you every time you go out, what kind of personal girl am I? Miss.
dare you laugh!"
She cried so miserably that Xu Yin had no choice but to hold back her laughter and said angrily: "I don't want you, it's just that it's too dangerous to go out. Just ask Xia Zhi, sister *** was almost raped last time in Dongfang
It's a plan. Xiao Sang is here to protect me. She is a female guard, different from you."
"I can also protect the lady!" Xiao Man shouted, "Since it is dangerous, then I, a girl, should be allowed to stand in front of the lady. How can I be protected by the lady!"
This... makes sense and is irrefutable.
Xiaoman muttered: "Since I came to Miss, hunting, playing Cuju, fighting... when did you miss me? I am also very strong, why can't I protect Miss?" As she said this, she waved her fist,
"If you don't take me with you this one, and you won't take me with that one, then what's the use of me? If I'm so useless, what dignity do I have to stay with the lady?"
When she said this, Xu Yin was awakened.
Xiaoman is just a bit naive. How can he become more sophisticated if he is not taken out?
"Okay!" She nodded, "I'll take you there this time."
Xiao Man was overjoyed: "Really? Miss didn't lie to me, did she?"
"I'm not going to lie to you, remember to pack your luggage and don't leave anything behind."
"Yeah, I know."
Seeing that she kept giggling, Xu Yin poked her: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Hurry up and do things quickly. If you want to be careless again, take back what you just said!"
