daughter in power

Chapter 15
The market on Huaiyu Street was empty for a while, and it was extremely quiet.

The captain of the guard stared blankly at his whip, in disbelief.

However, he couldn't help but believe it, Hei Pizi held his bloody wrist, and he had long since lost his aura of looking for trouble.

The captain of the guard was a little flustered, and immediately shouted: "Catch that ugly woman first, maybe she is Feng Qiqi."

Pointing to Heipizi again, he scolded: "There is also this goddamn untouchable who dared to rob village women in the street, and he was also arrested and sent to the army to deal with it severely."

"Here."

Several guards jumped off their horses to catch Feng Qiqi and Hei Pizi.

It's a pity that when everyone jumped off their horses, they realized that Feng Qiqi had disappeared.

Feng Qiqi stood at the corner of the street, looked back at the silly people, and ran away quietly with a sneer.

"girl!"

Just at this moment, someone shouted across the street.

This person's voice is clear and pleasant, and it makes people have to pay attention to it.

It was as if there was a magic in his voice that could attract everything.

Feng Qiqi was taken aback, looked up, and saw a young man in a navy brocade robe standing under the corridor across the street.

His appearance is very serious, his expression is very calm, and his posture is also very calm.

She raised her eyebrows, the street was not a labor market, what did he call her for?
Lowering her head, she decided to continue walking forward with her calico bundle.

"girl."

The man yelled again, louder than before.Feng Qiqi was really afraid that if he continued to shout, the captain of the guards and Hei Pizi in Huaiyu Street would rush out.

Her face darkened, and she walked over quickly.

The man saw her go up to meet her, went down the steps and came over.

His gait is very steady, step by step, he walks gracefully and neatly, without any sloppiness.

At first glance, he looked like some great big shot, making people want to run errands for him immediately.

Feng Qiqi's eyes flickered, desperately searching for memories, but found nothing.

She doesn't know.

Another unknown man.

In less than half a minute, the two met in the middle of the street.

Fearing that people from Huaiyu Street would come after him, Feng Qiqi stretched out his hand to grab his arm, and led him into the corner of the street.

There is a small tea shop facing you, selling some cheap tea, pastries and fruits.

Stepping in, the man followed her in.

The two chose a secluded place to sit, Feng Qiqi cut to the chase and said, "What do you need from me?"

This place is secluded, Hei Pizi and the others never expected that she would be here.

However, the next time they meet again, they will no longer recognize her.

The face of the man opposite was ordinary, nothing outstanding, the nobleness at that moment just now disappeared, as if she was dazzled.

She frowned, waiting for the man's reply.

The man looked serious, straightened his back and said: "Just now I saw the girl coming out of Huaiyu Street, I thought she was looking for a job. I was about to hire a part-time worker, so I called the girl."

From a distance, Feng Qiqi's figure is fat and strong, just suitable for rough work.

Looking straight at this moment, the man hesitated for a moment, and said seriously: "Young lady, are you looking for a job?"

Putting on such heavy makeup, the man couldn't help but start to doubt Feng Qiqi's intention of "finding a job".

You might earn more as a nanny.Especially this kind of fat and strong one, maybe some big old men like this one.

After all, Feng Qiqi is very young.

Feng Qiqi blinked and hesitated, "Where do you live?"

The man's face was a little dark, and he replied out of politeness: "Baochang Street."

Baochang Street is not far from the General's Mansion.Feng Qiqi's eyelids twitched, she nodded and said: "The place is good, the salary must be very high, how much is your lord going to pay?"

The man was finally taken aback by Feng Qiqi's straightforwardness, straightened his back and said, "I'm not a grown-up, but a foreigner. The part-time labor is just sweeping, and the wages are five taels of silver a month."

Feng Qiqi raised her eyebrows, thought carefully about the exchange rate of gold and silver, nodded and said: "Deal."

Based on the surviving memory of the dead soul, Feng Qiqi roughly calculated that one gold can be exchanged for five taels of silver, ten gold can be exchanged for 50 taels of silver, and one hundred gold can be exchanged for 500 taels of silver.

In this way, you can get 60 taels of silver for one year of work.And Feng Qiqi became the king of Xiaoyang with a white fox fur, and got a hundred gold, a total of 500 taels of silver.

500 taels is enough for her to sweep and clean the courtyard for eight and a half years.

Of course, it was only enough to rent a small house in the suburbs of the western city, and spend half a year by the way.

Floating Fire City, every inch of land is worth every inch of gold.

After the price was agreed upon, the man got up and left.Feng Qiqi looked at the two bowls of cheap tea in front of her, and said, "Give me the money."

The man turned his head and looked straight into her eyes. Seeing her looking like a standard shrew, his eyes flickered, and he went straight to the counter to check out.

After leaving the tea shop, Hei Pizi and others had already left.

Following the man out of the street, Feng Qiqi saw an ordinary carriage parked beside the road.

The man got into the carriage, lifted the curtain with one hand, and asked solemnly: "No. 132, Baochang Street, my surname is Qing. You pack up your family affairs, and come to work."

She nodded and said: "All my things are packed in this bag. If you don't mind, let's go back."

The man's eyes flickered again, and he said: "Donglai, go home." After finishing his sentence, he withdrew his big hand, and the car curtain fell suddenly.

All the way to Baochang Street, the coachman Donglai kept walking on the trail, as if he was avoiding someone.

Feng Qiqi gave a secret compliment, and followed the car with her head down, walking fast.

When we arrived at Baochang Street, it was already Youshi.

In winter, the sky gets dark very early, and the streets are full of lights in Youshi.

Passing by the General's Mansion, Feng Qiqi glanced casually, and saw that the red lanterns were still hanging high above the door, looking very festive.

She couldn't help but snorted, and followed the carriage to the No. 132 house.

No. 132, two short sections of low walls surround a vermilion wooden door in the middle, on which there is a brown lacquered plaque with three seal characters of "Huanbo Garden".

The house is very ordinary, and it is like heaven and earth with the General's Mansion.

The carriage went straight to the gate of the house, Donglai got off the carriage to close the gate, and the man got off the carriage and went to the inner courtyard.

Feng Qiqi looked at Erjin's house in front of him, and said, "Lord Qing, where should I clean?"

Under the hanging flower door leading to the backyard, the bluestone slabs are shining with snow, which must have been stepped on too many times.

But this small house doesn't show much popularity. There are only two men, the master and the servant. Where did they come from to trample the aisle under the door so slippery?

The man brushed the dust off his clothes, and said solemnly: "If you really want to address me, then call me Young Master, if you find it troublesome, call Xia Qinghuai. Don't call me Xia Qinghuai like that again, lest you get into a lawsuit. "

Only people with fame and fame can be called "Master". This Qing Huai is a foreigner, and he doesn't want to be respected by such superficial glory in vain.

Feng Qiqi lowered her head and said, "Then, my lord, where can I... clean?"

Qing Huai casually pointed at Dong Lai, and said solemnly, "Ask him." Turning around, he entered the Chui Hua Gate, not intending to deal with Feng Qiqi any more.

Dong Lai was more warm-hearted than Qing Huai, not only found a clean room for Feng Qiqi, but also gave Feng Qiqi a clean quilt.

He also told her: "My lord doesn't like too much noise at night, you have to go to bed early. During the day, just clean the outer courtyard. I will clean the inside of the second gate myself."

Feng Qiqi nodded, and Donglai said again: "Young master must change his clothes every day, you get up early every day, wash his clothes first and then sweep them."

She bowed her head and said "hmm".

Without further ado, Donglai went to the inner courtyard by himself, leaving Feng Qiqi to live alone in the wing room of the outer courtyard.

After tidying up the room, Feng Qiqi saw that the sky was dark, and then remembered that she hadn't eaten yet.

She went out of the wing room and saw that there was no one in the outer courtyard, so she raised her feet and went to the inner courtyard.

As soon as he reached the Chuihua Gate, Donglai happened to come out. When he saw her peeking at her like a mouse, he scolded him with a straight face: "You are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard. You have already explained it. If you are hungry, just go to the kitchen to cook."

Feng Qiqi squinted at him, and stammered: "I'll cook, the wages..."

"Humph." Donglai snorted, and said displeasedly: "The decent servants on Baochang Street may not be able to get five taels of silver in a month. You, a sweeping woman, can earn five taels of silver, which is like heaven and earth. Serve the stuffed pie. It is your duty to let you cook, so hurry up."

Feng Qiqi gave him a cold look, thinking that this person is really caring.

I couldn't help but walked to the kitchen in a muffled voice, lit the oil lamp, found the rice in the cabinet, and started cooking.

When the food was ready, Dong Lai sent it to the inner courtyard, Qing Huai didn't go out, and didn't say whether it was delicious or not.

Seeing this, Feng Qiqi finished his meal by himself, cleaned up the dishes, boiled hot water, took a shower and washed his hair, and went to sleep.

Peaceful night.

The next seven or eight days were peaceful.

Since seeing Qing Huai on the first day, Feng Qiqi has never seen him again.

Sometimes he gets up early, and sometimes he doesn't go out at all.

She could have also sneaked into the inner courtyard to find out, but she felt that there was no need to find out.

Therefore, no matter what Qing Huai did, she still repeated the work of washing clothes, cooking and cleaning every day.

Although Donglai didn't like her, he didn't say anything about her.

Only once, Donglai asked her why her face was different from when she first came here.

Feng Qiqi prevaricates by saying that she has found a job and doesn't need to worry about dressing up anymore.

Dong Lai could vaguely hear a secret sigh behind her, probably because she was glad that she had finally given up the hobby of "attending to dress up".

In a blink of an eye, Feng Qiqi has been in Liuhuo City for about half a month.

In the past half month, she took advantage of the opportunity of sweeping and shopping for vegetables, and touched the whole Baochang Street.

On this street, all the relatives of the emperor live, and there are not many existences like Huanboyuan.

Moreover, this Huanbo Garden used to be the other courtyard of a high-ranking minister, but later the high-ranking official fell and the other courtyard fell into disuse, so it was resold.

It happened that Qing Huai came from a foreign country, so he spent money to buy Huanbo Garden.

However, Qing Huai's money was only enough to buy Huanbo Garden, and he couldn't even afford a servant.

Only hired a coachman, plus her a nanny.

Feng Qiqi thought that Qing Huai might be a student who entered Liuhuo City to rush for the exam, and the reason why he didn't go out all day was to prepare for the big exam in spring.

This idea is in line with Qing Huai's work and rest, Feng Qiqi deeply thinks it is.

This day is Winter Moon 28, nothing special.

Feng Qiqi woke up early in the morning and unexpectedly saw Qing Huai.

He looked in a hurry, as if he was going somewhere.

Feng Qiqi watched helplessly as he got into the carriage, Dong Lai flicked his whip and said, "Young master and I have something to go out, so we don't need to stay at the door tonight, and we don't need to cook."

Overjoyed, Feng Qiqi hurriedly responded, and waited until the two of them went out without seeing each other, then she pretended to clean up, ate lunch casually, and went to bed.

She needs to recharge.

When I opened my eyes again, it was pitch black outside.She stood up and quickly put on her clothes, shoes and socks and left Huanbo Garden.

She didn't go through the gate, but jumped up the low fence in one step, climbed onto the big tree outside the wall and jumped down.

Not far from No. 132 is the General's Mansion. At the end of the Xu Dynasty, it was brightly lit.

Lin Shinan and the others seemed to have not rested yet, and the guards at the door were still standing still.

Feng Qiqi cleverly avoided the guards, climbed into the fence, and avoided the night watch guards, all the way to Fengyue's small courtyard.

Arriving at the small courtyard, the outside is heavily guarded by soldiers, all of them are strong and strong men, and they have strong fighting power at first glance.

Her visit a few days ago probably frightened Fengyue.

Otherwise, how could the newlyweds' house be under martial law inside and outside as if facing a formidable enemy.

She snorted coldly, jumped up to the big tree outside the small courtyard, and didn't move anymore.

Tonight, she is not here to look for the Qixi Guqin, but to listen to the whereabouts of the Qixi Guqin.

The door of the small courtyard was open, but in less than ten minutes, many people had already entered and left, but most of them did not speak.

Cui Lingqiao died tragically, Fengyue was not favored by the groom, and Feng Qiqi patronized her again and again, I am afraid that the life of the maids in this courtyard will not be easy.

Feng Qiqi stared coldly, but did not hear any useful news.

After waiting for another half an hour, a maid in green clothes came out from the small courtyard, it was Yu Xin.

Her watery eyes flickered, staring at the top of Yu Xin's head, holding her breath.
