Zhu Bai began to listen to the Chief Tooth of the General Administration of Tooth and Tooth Diseases reporting on the situation of the General Administration in the past few months.
Just as Ya Chang was talking about the important point, Fugui came in.
Zhu Bai raised his eyebrows and asked silently: "What's the matter?"
He had promised that as long as he was listening to reports, no one would be allowed to come in and disturb him unless Zhu Biao and Lao Zhu came or it was a matter of life and death.
Fugui's expression was very strange, excitement mixed with a little schadenfreude, expectation mixed with a little worry.
Zhu Bai's curiosity was aroused.
Fugui said: "Your Highness, the director of Maoshan Station is here."
Zhu Bai was so disappointed: "Oh, he's here. He's coming when he's here. What's there to be excited about?"
Make me excited for nothing.
The station manager must regularly report to the corresponding official and dental bureau to collect money and reconcile the accounts.
Maoshan Station is under the jurisdiction of heaven, so it has to report to the General Administration.
Fugui said: "He brought over the girl you bought."
Ya Chang looked at Zhu Bai in surprise: "Ho!"
Although Zhu Bai often did shocking things, Ya Chang was still shocked that he would buy a woman for himself at such a young age.
But think about it, this kid had done something to steal a woman from his elder brother Zhu Biao in front of Lao Zhu a few years ago.
Zhu Bai himself was not excited at all, but looked confused: "What the hell?!"
He had no memory of when he bought a girl.
Fugui said: "Oh, it's not right to buy it, because you didn't spend any money, so you should be considered as saving the girl."
Only then did Zhu Bai remember that he seemed to have saved a girl from the evil old man.
Fugui looked expectant: "Your Highness, do you want your servant to bring her in?"
"Send her away quickly." Zhu Bai said calmly and then turned to Ya Chang, "Come on, continue."
Fugui whispered: "Have you forgotten, Your Highness? There is no place to send it. She doesn't even know where her home is."
Zhu Bai pursed his lips and said after a while: "Call the stationmaster to come in."
Then the stationmaster came in with the girl.
The girl has gained some weight, is fair and fair, and is actually a beauty.
The stationmaster looked sad: "Your Highness, this child is getting older day by day. It is really inconvenient to stay with me."
The people in the inn are all men. If some bastard gets drunk one day and does something to a girl.
Not only did he get no credit, he was also held accountable by Zhu Bai.
In short, it's a costly, time-consuming, and dangerous hassle.
Zhu Bai asked the girl: "Can't you remember where your family lives?"
The girl shook her head.
Zhu Bai sighed: Yes, this is Lai Ding’s free meal ticket.
Fugui whispered: "How about we take it back?"
Zhu Bai rolled his eyes: "You dare to bring her into the palace without even knowing her details. Besides, I haven't moved out of the palace to live alone yet. There are only two kinds of women who can live in the palace, one is She is my father's woman, a kind of palace maid. Wouldn't it be good for her to be free outside?"
He doesn't have that need now, and he doesn't have any feelings for her. Keeping her is a loss-making deal.
To put it bluntly, even if he grows up and really needs it, Lao Zhu will reward him with a lot of beautiful women.
He himself will not be able to make any decisions about future marriage matters.
According to Lao Zhu's routine, he will definitely find a hero's daughter for him.
It would be better if he was like Zhu Di.
Otherwise, like Zhu Xi, marrying one but loving the other, causing pain for both parties, it would be better not to be sincere to any woman except his mother in the first place.
Although this girl's food and accommodation are not as good as those in the palace outside, she can at least marry an ordinary person.
He took her back to the palace and looked like he was saving her, but he was actually harming her.
Fugui sighed: "That's right."
Zhu Bai thought of Hu Mei for some reason and asked Fugui: "Will my grandpa Hu Mei set off tomorrow?"
Fugui replied: "Yes."
Zhu Bai said: "Quickly, quickly, send her to Mr. Hu and ask him to take her back to Changsha and serve my grandma. Just right."
The girl who had been silent suddenly said sharply: "I won't go."
Zhu Bai stared at her: Damn it, you said you wouldn't go if you didn't want to go? If you want to rely on me, I have to let you rely on me?
The girl looked back calmly, not hiding, without any fear.
Zhu Bai gritted his teeth: "It's up to you."
This is a snobbish woman who wants to be rich and powerful, and she is a disaster if she stays around.
He would never take her back to the palace.
Zhu Bai waved to Fugui: "Take her down quickly, don't delay me from doing my business here."
It was the first time that Fugui and the others saw Zhu Bai being so angry. How could they dare to say anything and they took the girl away in a hurry.
Ya Zhang began to report to Zhu Bai again.
After Zhu Bai finished dealing with it, he came out and saw the girl still standing downstairs.
The station master has long since disappeared.
In order to shirk the blame, this guy didn't even report it.
Cut it, throw it away. Anyway, I live in the palace. I don't believe that she could sneak into the palace without my permission.
Zhu Bai laughed angrily and walked away without looking away.
Ya Chang looked at the girl with an embarrassed look on his face: "Girl, it's really not that I won't take you in. It's that His Highness won't let you. Look at this..."
The girl said softly: "The King of Xiang only said that he would not take me back to the palace, but he did not say that he would not let me stay in the Guanya Bureau."
Ya Chang was stunned and murmured: "That's true..."
The girl bowed respectfully to Ya Chang: "Please be kind and take me in. I was trafficked since I was a child and I really have nowhere to go. I can serve tea, pour water, wash clothes and sweep the floor. I can do anything." Just treat it like you have hired an extra servant and just take care of me. Lock the door when you close at night, and if you open it in the morning, I can’t get out. All I ask is that you give me a woodshed to hide in, and I have some leftovers to eat every day. I’ll just eat it.”
Ya Chang himself was born into a poor family, and when he heard how pitiful she said, he couldn't help but feel soft.
He sighed: "Well, I am indeed short of people here these days, so I will pay you according to the wages of a small laborer. You just clean the yard, chop wood and boil water, and clean the table. There is not much other work."
The girl's eyes were so happy that she saluted Mr. Ya again: "Thank you, Mr. Ya."
Ya Chang: "You can sleep in the woodshed at the back at night, and I will help you build a bed with wooden planks and bluestones. I will take you to buy new ones for bedding and other things later. The money will be deducted from your wages." Guanyinzhuang next door has people standing guard at night, and people come and go during the day, so it is safe. The other agents and foremen in Guanyin Bureau all have residences in Yingtian City, or rent houses. So there is no inconvenience. You can wait until we leave. Lock the door and take care of housekeeping."
The girl blushed slightly: "Okay."
Ya Chang: "But you have to have a name. We can't always call you 'eh' or 'that one' when we call you."
The girl said: "I remember my nickname is Nannan."
