Xiaodie was changing her maid's clothes and wanted to come over to give Zhao Jin a gift when she saw Mr. Zhao, who was usually gentle and dignified, looking helpless at an old man.
"Mr. Lang..."
This sound successfully silenced the three men present.
But the three of them have completely different expressions.
Zhao Jin: It’s over. Grandpa, please don’t say anything offensive again.
Butler Qi: That’s great, the rightful owner is here.
Old Duke: This is my future granddaughter-in-law. Why is she wearing a servant’s clothes?
Xiaodie grabbed her skirt and met the old man's eyes. This look...
"Oh, my grandson just brought you into the house?"
Zhao Jin held his forehead and introduced Xiaodie: "This is my grandfather."
"This slave has met the Duke."
Xiaodie lives in Guiyang County. Although her family is poor, her father has studied for two years and is literate. He teaches her and her sister etiquette on weekdays.
Even if it's not very standard, her current status is still enough.
The old man glared at Butler Qi: Didn't he say that Xizhi brought a girl back, so why did he become a maid?
Butler Qi: My lord, how could this old slave know?
Regardless of whether she is a maid or not, in short, this girl is not that stunning in appearance, but she is very attractive and well-educated. Standing next to his grandson, she looks like a talented woman.
The most important thing is that this is the woman that Xi Zhi took the initiative to bring home.
Let her be a personal maid, that will prove that she is not annoying.
He doesn't care if they have no status. The two of them are affectionate, harmonious and have a lot of babies. That's the business.
"Oh, oh, girl, what's your name?"
"Returning to the country, my lord, my servant An Xiaodie."
"Xiaodie! What a nice name. You can live here well and don't be afraid."
Xiaodie: "..."
When she first entered the Duke's Mansion, she was only a little nervous at first, but now she was really scared. She felt that something was wrong with the way the Duke looked at her.
"Xiaodie, you go down first."
An Xiaodie knelt down and saluted, and went to the courtyard under the scorching eyes of the Duke.
Qingfeng Pavilion originally had two maids, but the other one was kicked out of the house by Zhao Jin last year for crawling on the bed, leaving only Dai Yun as a personal maid.
In Qingfeng Pavilion, four second-class maids have been secretly competing for the spot of this personal maid.
Suddenly, a servant like them came and became the personal maid they dreamed of. Naturally, he was quite hostile to her.
That very night, Xiaodie was pushed into the water.
The weather in early spring, and it was at night, was still a bit cold. Fortunately, Xiaodie grew up in Guiyang County, where there were many rivers. When she was young, her father did not carry her and her sister, but he learned a few doggy style moves. Not drowned.
The old prince has regarded Xiaodie as his future granddaughter-in-law.
But this granddaughter-in-law is still in the investigation stage, so she naturally needs to know more about her in many aspects.
So a secret guard was sent to follow and report the situation at any time.
No, the story of Xiaodie being pushed into the water by the second-class maid in the yard immediately reached the ears of the old man.
"The government of our country still has such evil servants? Sell them immediately."
There is no mistress in the house, and the old Duke is still in charge, but the old Duke trusts Butler Qi, and basically it is handled by Butler Qi.
Knowing the old Duke's thoughts, Butler Qi naturally tried his best and went to Qingfeng Pavilion to knock on it himself.
"You are servants with a bond of prostitution. Miss Xiaodie is an innocent girl. You came to the Duke's Mansion to repay our husband. Do you think you are really a maid? You have clearly understood your position. , don’t think about things you shouldn’t think, otherwise you will end up like Danzhen, betrayed!”
Danzhen, who was kneeling on the ground, was so regretful that her intestines were turning green.
Even if she was not convinced for a moment, this person acted as a personal maid when he arrived. If she knew that she had not sold herself into the house, she would not have lost her head.
"Butler, please forgive me this time. I promise I won't dare to do it again next time."
Butler Qi: "What's next? You two, get the person out. Our Duke's Mansion cannot have such a troublesome slave that harms people's lives."
At this moment, Xiaodie was already in the room, and the two maids specially called by Butler Qi were taking care of her to take a bath and change clothes, and then brought her cold-proof decoction and soothing soup.
This is proper, it means serving the master.
The two maids who were sent here were not stupid. They knew that the person in front of them might become the mistress of their Qingfeng Pavilion, so they would serve her wholeheartedly.
The results of the provincial examination have not been released yet.
At such a stall, it is said that Xixia and Liao were at war.
What a big surprise.
Because of this news, the court finally felt like the clouds were clearing.
The Song Dynasty and Xixia fought for several years. Although Xixia was a small country, its fighting power was really fierce. After years of fighting, it finally defeated Xixia and its national power was exhausted.
Ordinarily, Xixia and Daliao are already married, so they should not be able to fight.
However, who would have thought that this political marriage was not stable. Li Yuanhao had a very bad relationship with Princess Xingping of the Liao Kingdom. Princess Xingping was seriously ill, but Li Yuanhao ignored her. He did not "report" to the Liao Kingdom until the princess died of illness. this matter.
Princess Xingping is the sister of Xingzong of Liao Dynasty. She married Li Yuanhao to give face to the Xixia Kingdom.
Who would have thought that he would treat the princess of Liao like this.
This is only one of the reasons why the Liao Kingdom is dissatisfied with Xixia. The second reason is that the Liao Kingdom receives 200,000 "yearly coins" from our court every year.
There was a lot of money, so naturally he wanted to say something for the Song Dynasty and dissuade Li Yuanhao from attacking the Song Dynasty.
Li Yuanhao probably hated Princess Xingping because of this incident, and insisted on attacking Song Dynasty regardless of Liao's dissuasion.
Kong Chong was executed because of his son.
He has been claiming that he is ill at home and has not been to court for half a month.
Han Qi is the Deputy Privy Envoy, and he is responsible for his affairs.
When everyone was happy, Han Qi once again analyzed in depth: "Xixia and Daliao have been in a quarrel over the ownership of the Dangxiang tribe in the border area. Not long ago, news came that Li Yuanhao personally persuaded the Dangxiang people to defect from Liao . This time they fought mostly because of this matter."
Fu Bi continued: "Although they have friction now, they have not yet fought. If we let them fight, we can breathe a sigh of relief."
How to make them fight, there will be a lot of room for maneuver.
Han Qi and Fu Bi looked at each other and had some thoughts.
On the first day of April, the results of the provincial examination came out. As expected, Gu Qingjue's name was first in the first row.
Li Duanyuan and others gathered around Gu Qingjue. Li Duanyuan said, "We are ashamed of Ziyuan's knowledge."
Bai Chengnan smiled and said, "It's not like you just found out today."
Gu Qingjue said: "You all did well in the exam. If you take the palace exam with these results, you will definitely be a solid candidate for Jinshi."
Li Duanyuan sighed: "You are stable, but I am hanging on."
Today’s update has been completed!
