Xiao Ming smiled and joked: "You know how to be a good person, what are you going to do with my medicine?"
Facing his sister, Xiao Han smiled helplessly and said, "What my sister has taught me is that my brother will not dare to do anything in the future." He was trying to trick her in front of his sister.
Xiao Yu and Bai Xiaoyu were confused. They had missed what happened just now. They only knew that the uncle had hit the person. Not only did he apologize but also paid for the things, and then the aunt made fun of the uncle.
The four of them were on the road again.
"I heard that my brother-in-law's Four Seas Escorts Guild will take in orphans who have lost their relatives?" Xiao Han asked.
"Yes, but not everyone knows it, and not everyone is willing to work for an escort agency." Xiao Ming said that people's hearts are different in different places. She took in several children who had no relatives and cultivated their abilities. , provide them with food and drink, and let them serve her for fifteen years.
Seeing that this method was feasible, Jiang Sihai borrowed her method and opened a martial arts gym in Pingcheng to take in homeless orphans, teach martial arts, cultivate useful talents, and continuously inject fresh blood into the Sihai escort industry. However, the martial arts The museum is not a place to train talents for nothing. Everyone who comes in must sign a loyalty contract, guaranteeing their loyalty and not betraying. They can regain their freedom after twenty years. If you betray the master midway, then I'm sorry, you This life will be threatened.
This is conducive to Jiang Sihai's Four Seas Escort Agency being able to remain in one place. In the past few years, Sihai Escort Agency has developed rapidly and steadily, with branches all over the country, becoming the leading escort agency in Dayue Dynasty.
However, not everyone is willing to join the Four Seas Escort Agency. The escorts of the Four Seas Escorts travel all over the country. Not only do they eat and sleep in the open, but they are also robbed by bandits, causing death and injury. The process of practicing martial arts is also extremely hard.
Of course, the rewards are also high. In addition to the high monthly salary, the Sihai Escort Agency will also subsidize a pension fund after gaining freedom twenty years later. This money is enough to buy a house and land, settle down, live a good life, and enjoy life. .
Therefore, escorting is a high-risk and high-reward industry, but not everyone is willing to pay the unknown twenty years in advance.
In twenty years, there have been too many changes.
Now that he has moved to the capital, Jiang Sihai has also opened a martial arts gym to take in orphans, but with little success and is opening up the situation.
"There is a Youciyuan in Beijing, and orphans without relatives will be sent there." Xiao Ming explained, I heard that the Youciyuan was opened during the reign of Emperor Taizu, and it is still managed by people from the palace. Although I don’t know how well it is run there, but it can always provide a shelter for homeless children.
Xiao Han nodded, just feeling sorry for the two children just now. They would be so anxious if a broken shoe fell off. The look of his brother protecting his sister lingered in front of his eyes. Things in the world are unpredictable. I hope they are safe.
Xiao Ming looked at it and saw that the setting sun on the horizon turned orange, and then said to Xiao Yu and Bai Xiaoyu in front: "It's almost time, let's go home."
As soon as the carriage arrived at the door of the house, they saw a carriage parked at the door. The woman in the lead was Grandma Linlang's side, Grandma Hua. When she saw Xiao Ming getting off the carriage, she stepped forward and saluted, saying respectfully. He said: "I have met Doctor Xiao. Our princess invites Doctor Xiao and Young Master Xiao to come over and have a drink."
Xiao Ming looked at the parked carriage, including the driver, whom she had seen several times, but she just let it go at this time, fearing that something might happen.
"What's wrong, Princess?"
"It's not a big deal. The princess got a fresh sea bass, which is quite rare, so I temporarily invited you two to taste it together. The princess also said that Young Master Xiao has been back for a few days and has never been able to see it. Please go and see him today. We'll go back and forth often after we get married." Nanny Hua smiled and spoke in a very respectful tone. She knew in her heart that Xiao Ming was a person who would please the princess. She loved the house so much that even Young Master Xiao, her brother-in-law, wanted to recognize him.
In this way, Xiao Ming could no longer refuse, so she had to go to Zheng Guogong's mansion with Xiao Han.
Zheng Guogong's mansion is located on Chongming Street near the imperial city. It occupies a large area, is in an excellent location and is extremely spacious. It is the real emperor's feet, a wealthy and prosperous family that has been favored by generations.
Emperor Taizu ascended the throne and gave unparalleled rewards to the heroes who worked for him through life and death. In addition to achievements that were recorded in history and will last forever, there were also hereditary noble titles and countless gold and silver rewards.
After hundreds of years, passed down from generation to generation, some of them are now gradually declining due to various reasons, but Zheng Guogong's mansion has endured for a long time, and there are capable people from generation to generation.
Outside the gate, there is a wide street that can accommodate six carriages running parallel, a majestic and majestic gate, and carved and painted buildings. They are the masterpieces of countless skilled craftsmen.
The two squatting stone lions at the door stand proudly and independently, making people look in awe. This is a mansion that no amount of money can buy.
The carriage stopped outside the mansion.
"Doctor Xiao, we are here." Nanny Hua got off the carriage first, opened the curtain and helped Xiao Ming get out of the carriage, Xiao Han followed on horseback.
Mammy led the two of them into the Duke's Mansion from the side door. There were already four strong women and two small sedan chairs with green curtains waiting for them. Xiao Ming had been here many times and was already used to it. Mao Guogong's Mansion was large. Surprisingly, I don't know how long it will take to walk to Princess Linlang's residence by myself. The key is that I might get lost.
According to Xiao Ming's opinion, it would be faster to take a carriage.
When Xiao Han arrived at Zheng Guogong's residence for the first time, she seemed extremely calm and unfazed. She followed her sister onto the sedan chair calmly and calmly. Her posture was chic and showed the demeanor of a descendant of the family. Grandma Hua nodded secretly in her heart. Sure enough, they were not a family. Entering a family, the elder sister is excellent and the younger brother is not bad at all.
Both siblings are favored by God.
After another half-quarter of an hour, we finally arrived at Cangqiong Courtyard, the main courtyard where Princess Linlang lived. Princess Linniang's capable girl was already waiting at the entrance of the courtyard. She shouted when she saw the sedan approaching from a distance.
"Doctor Xiao is here."
Following her shout, another girl in Tsing Yi held up her skirt and stepped through the door to report.
When the sedan landed, the girl stepped forward and lifted one side of the sedan curtain, saying with a friendly smile: "Dr. Xiao, you are here. Princess and Sister Xi are thinking of you."
Xiao Ming and others entered the door, and Princess Linlang welcomed them out.
Princess Linlang grabbed Xiao Ming's hand and smiled cordially: "Sister, you are here. This sea bass is really rare. I invited you as soon as we entered the house. Don't be too late."
"Sister, what are you talking about? Now that the food is delicious, I'll do it even if it's a knife." Xiao Ming also joked with a smile.
In the Xiao family, thanks to Xiao Ming's space water, they have a lot of seafood at home, which can be tasted at any time, but this is not the case in Beppu. It is not easy to have a bite of fresh seafood.
Sea bass are hard to catch, and they will die soon after landing on the shore. If you want to survive, you have to rush to the capital. It is not rare. Those who can eat them are of high status, and it is rare for ordinary people to see them.
