A Farmer's Lady's Guide to Getting Rich

Chapter 273 The Maid
"Oh, poor parents in the world!"

From the letter, Chang Ning saw a loving father's heart.

Ever since Qin Xiucai agreed to let her come to the northwest, Chang Ning knew that Qin Xiucai must be suspicious of her from the bottom of his heart.

But even so, facing his daughter's lifelong event, he still did not fear power, and stated it directly.He was not at all afraid that this letter would be seen by the so-called nobles he said, and he didn't care what consequences would be caused if such nobles were angered.

"Father-in-law doesn't understand me, and it's my fault that he misunderstood me. Don't worry, Changning. When I have a chance in the future, I will definitely come and explain myself."

Xiao Qian looked at the channel: "Don't worry, even if the father-in-law insists, the Qi family will not dare to marry you, and grab a woman from me, Xiao Qian? They don't have the guts yet."

"What do you mean by robbing you, you obviously robbed someone's daughter-in-law, okay?" Chang Ning nodded Xiao Qian's eyebrows deliberately jokingly, and said, "Don't get cheap and act like a good boy."

"Yes, yes, if you don't act obediently, why don't you just be proud!"

Xiao Qian stretched out his arms and hugged Chang Ning to his chest, and said proudly: "Good boy, dear Chang Ning, the fiancé problem is solved, you don't have to worry about anything anymore."

"Who said it was settled, the engagement token is still in my hands!"

Chang Ning thought of the emerald leaf, and said, "By the way, quickly send someone to help me return the leaf to the Qi family."

"Don't worry, we have to wait until the Qi family proposes to terminate the engagement first. I can't bear the notoriety of stealing other people's wives!" Xiao Qian opened his mouth slyly, took a bite, and bit the braid on Chang Ning's head.

"You're a dog, don't bite people..." Chang Ning grabbed Xiao Qian's ear with his backhand... The two immediately entered into a nonsense mode.

This nonsense lasted for a quarter of an hour, and Chang Ning felt that it was outrageous to act like a teenage child at his mental age of two lifetimes combined.However, Xiao Qian couldn't bear to like him, this guy was older than her in two lifetimes combined, but he was much more lively and naughty than her.

This is the difference between men and women. A man will always look like a child in front of the woman he loves!

Touching the torn hair, Chang Ning couldn't help but think, the more he thought about it, the sweeter it became.

Xiao Qian is still a general after all, he has many military affairs to deal with, it is impossible to stay with Chang Ning all day long.Whenever he was busy, Chang Ning would first go back to the Si Ning Yuan where he lived, and get busy with his own affairs.

Sining Courtyard is in the General's Mansion, and it is the closest courtyard to the main courtyard where Xiao Qian lived. It was originally called Linfang Courtyard because of the many flowers and trees in it.Ever since he knew that Changning was coming to the northwest, Xiao Qian ordered people to renovate the courtyard, and the name of the courtyard was changed to Sining courtyard.

There were no young maids in the General's Mansion, the inner courtyard was full of servants and bodyguards to serve Xiao Qian's daily life, and there were only some older women in the outer courtyard who were in charge of washing and cleaning things.Knowing that Chang Changning was coming, Xiao Qian was afraid that Xiao Ling would not be able to take care of her well by herself, so he added eight maids, four girls, four girls, and eight girls to Sining Court.

Among the eight girls, the youngest was no more than twelve, and the oldest was only nineteen. They were all carefully selected from trustworthy places.

Chang Ning was not used to having so many people waiting on him, so he only took Xiao Ling with him when he went out of the yard.After returning to the yard, apart from Xiao Ling, there was only one Frost Branch who could get close to her.

Shuang Zhi is the oldest girl at 19 years old. It is said that both of her parents died, and she was sold into a courtyard in Zhenbei Prince's Mansion since she was a child.

Shuang Zhi is old and very calm, and he accepted the maids of Si Ning Courtyard not long after he arrived.Including Xiao Ling, who always likes to bluff, who can use hands but never wants to talk, now they all call Sister Shuangzhi affectionately.

Seeing Chang Ning come back, Shuang Zhi immediately brought a warm water towel, first helped Chang Ning wash his hands and face, and then served a cup of hot eight-treasure flower tea, and then said softly: "The paper, pen and paint that the girl wants are all ready."

"Okay! Help me sharpen the ink later." Chang Ning nodded slightly.

Because the last time the generals were stunned by dropping their bookbags on the school field, those people often asked Chang Ning about the strategy of training soldiers afterwards.Later, Xiao Qian was annoyed by the inquiries, so he simply asked Changning to hold a small lecture on the art of war, not only about military training, but also about military law, and let those few people come to attend the lecture.

For this reason, Chang Ning takes some time every day to prepare lessons and determine what to teach the next day.

To prepare for lessons, one has to write, and to write one has to grind the ink. Grinding is a very particular thing. The ink should not be too thick, nor should it be too light, and the ink should not be ground unevenly.Therefore, Xiao Ling couldn't do this kind of meticulous work, but Shuangzhi did it extremely well.

"Cough cough..."

Today, however, Shuangzhi had just rubbed it a few times before coughing slightly with his face turned sideways.

"Shuang Zhi, are you sick?" Chang Ning heard the voice, only to find that Shuang Zhi's face was slightly morbidly flushed.

Shuangzhi immediately pushed back a few steps, away from Changning, and then knelt down and said: "I'm sorry girl, this servant may have suffered from a bit of cold! I thought it would be good to drink a bowl of ginger soup, but who knows that this situation will actually get worse, and this servant dare not Give the girl the sickness, and retreat first."

"Get up, it's not your fault that you're sick, why don't you say sorry! Ask the military doctor in the mansion to show you, take your medicine and go back to your room to have a good rest. By the way, I'll call someone to help me grind the ink."

Chang Ning is not the master who treats people harshly, so he immediately asked Shuang Zhi to get up, and gave an order at the same time.

"Besides the servant, there is also a pear branch that can grind ink, so the servant called her in."

Shuangzhi went out quickly, and called in a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, wearing the dark green dress of the second-class maid in the mansion, with two small silver flowers stuck in her bun.She has a small melon-seeded face, her figure and facial features are very delicate, and her fair cheeks are dotted with small freckles.

Chang Ning has seen this Lizhi before, and the other party often follows Shuangzhi recently, but he has been working outside and has never entered the inner room.

It was the first time for Li Zhi to serve Chang Ning up close, and when he entered the door, he knelt down first, bowed his head and said, "Slave Li Zhi, I have seen the girl."

"Get up, don't be restrained, first come and help me sharpen the ink."

Seeing how reserved she was, Chang Ning said directly without saying anything.

"Yes!" Li Zhi replied, looked at Xiao Ling who was guarding Chang Ning, and stepped forward to grind the ink respectfully.

At the same time, Shuangzhi, who had returned to her room to rest, slumped down on the bed, her hands trembling slightly.

She suddenly remembered a few days ago, when she met a man on the street, the man's voice was like a ghost, and he whispered in her ear as he passed by: "Try to get Li Zhi close to that beard girl, don't worry about anything else, Your brother will be safe."

"I'm just sick, I let Li Zhi take care of me temporarily, I don't know anything, the old prince and the young master probably won't punish me, right?"

Shuang Zhi tremblingly stretched her hand into her bosom, took out a small longevity lock, held it tightly in her hand, and looked at it again and again.

That was the longevity lock of her own younger brother. Back then, her family suffered an accident, her parents died, and she was separated from her younger brother.

Later, she was sold into the other courtyard of the Wangfu, and she tried to find her, but there was no news until a few days ago when she was sleeping at night, her brother's longevity lock suddenly appeared in her bed.Then the next day, she met that strange man on the street.
