Rebirth of the Prime Minister's Wife

After Ji Yuanan left, he pushed open the door of the compartment, entered the room and collapsed on the couch.

He stared at the roof beams numbly, "I don't know why, but dealing with Sister Zhaozhao back and forth is more tiring than dealing with other old fools."

I was still shocked by her identity before, but now I started calling Sister Zhaozhao familiarly.

"I asked you, you smart people, are you mixing up three things in one sentence? I didn't get much useful information. I always feel like I was caught by her."

After getting no reply for a while, he turned to look at Xie Zhihuan, who was still careless, with a sad look on his face, "Xie Zhihuan, I've been talking next door for such a long time, are you not even the least bit curious or surprised about her?"

Xie Zhihuan raised his eyebrows and responded with four words concisely following his words, "Curiosity, surprise."

Ji Yuanan rolled her eyes at his perfunctory, then jumped up and came to him, "Tell me, she is the eldest lady of the Gu family, why did she become the niece of General Nie?"

"Why did she ask about the Qin family? Since she has a relationship with General Nie, is it possible that she really came here for the Qin family today?"

It's a mess, confusing.

Ji Yuanan scratched his hair and muttered, "I always feel like there is some connection, but I can't figure it out."

Xie Zhihuan raised his calm gaze, but there was a slight smile on his face.

When he spoke, his voice was like the jingling jade on the snow-capped mountains, softly sliding over his eardrums, but with a hint of coolness.

"Tell me, what is the name of the young lady from the Gu family just now?"

Ji Yuanan replied, "Qin Zhaozhao."

As he said this, he was suddenly startled.

"Wait...why do I feel like this name seems familiar?"

"Qin Zhaozhao? Qin?"

His eyes suddenly widened, and the words were stuck in his throat, unable to speak.

"No way..." Ji Yuanan was so frightened by his guess that the hairs on his spine stood up, and he swallowed unconsciously.

He quickly comforted himself, "It's just the same name, and besides, this Miss Gu just took her mother's surname."

"Besides, I'm not good enough for my age."

"I have also checked the origins of Miss Gu. She grew up in Xinxiang until she was brought back."

"Besides, didn't you recover the body and bury it back then..." Ji Yuan'an's voice became weaker and weaker. Countless ghosts and ghosts popped into his mind, and he felt chills all over his body.

Ji Yuanan rubbed his arms, raised his head and saw Xie Zhihuan's strange expression.

Xie Zhihuan stopped looking at him like he was looking at a fool and sneered mercilessly at Ji Yuanan's behavior.

"I just want to know what her name is and what you are doing there trembling and mumbling."

"A ghost is on me?"

Ji Yuanan: "..."

He looked at Xie Zhihuan sincerely, "I still like the way you pretend to be a serious and elegant gentleman to others in the court."

"You look so devastated. If the women in the capital knew that the man they longed for looked like this, they would probably jump into the river."

Xie Zhihuan's eyes flickered with coldness, "Believe it or not, I will drag you to Shenjiang before that?"

"Oh, don't stop." Ji Yuanan smiled again and looked like a mixed look. "I said, don't you think that I have such a bit of possibility just now?"

Xie Zhihuan sneered, "Ghosts and gods? It's just nonsense."

"Only a fool like you who is addicted to storybooks would believe it."

Ji Yuanan felt like he had been slandered.

He lay down depressed, and mentioned another thing again and again, "Speaking of which, don't you think it's a waste to ask Gao Ying to be Miss Gu's bodyguard?"

"I'm just staying by her side to look for things. If I find what I want, I'll let him come back." Xie Zhihuan sipped a cup of tea, looking bored, with a trace of laxity on his handsome eyebrows.

Ji Yuanan glared: "Exploring?"

"There are so many masters around you, why did you send Gao Ying alone? He is obviously the most convenient person for you to use."

As he spoke, Ji Yuanan seemed to have thought of something, and slowly stopped smiling, "Do you think that girl is..."

He pointed to the top of his head, as if pointing at someone in Shengjing, the meaning in his eyes was unclear.

"The people he sent?"

Xie Zhihuan was noncommittal and raised his eyebrows slightly.

He was leaning back on the chair, leisurely, and his sharp eyes were reflected in the waves, as if he could reveal some truth that was hidden in the dense mist.

"Which party they are from will be known later."

“As long as you leave the bait out for a long time, you will eventually catch a big fish.”

……

When Qin Zhaozhao returned to the Gu family, there was a tall and upright man in his courtyard.

His eyes were indifferent, and he saw Qin Zhaozhao nodding.

Compared with Qinglian who was shocked, Qin Zhaozhao smiled with satisfaction.

"Can I be entered into the mansion's guard roster?"

Gao Ying nodded, still smiling, "Don't worry, girl, you won't make anyone suspicious."

Qin Zhaozhao secretly felt that Tongbao Bank really did everything, and the people they sent were much better than she expected. This just saved her the trouble of thinking about how to pull people into her courtyard.

Qin Zhaozhao asked, "What's your name?"

Gao Ying hesitated for a moment, recalling Ji Yuanan's trick to help him deal with this problem, and said word by word, "I don't have a name, people in the world call me Xiao... Gao."

Qinglian coughed violently. She covered her mouth and tried her best to hide her laughter.

Don’t all Jianghu people have a handsome name?

How could a grown man act like a child with such a nickname?

No matter how you look at it, this person has nothing to do with Xiaodu.

Qin Zhaozhao only felt strange. Then he thought that people in Jianghu might be like this, always a little weird, but this person was weird because of his name.

"If you follow me, in addition to the salary given to you by the government, I will give you ten taels of silver every month."

Qin Zhaozhao said calmly, "I don't care about your background or your origins, there is only one thing..."

"No betrayal, do you understand?"

Gao Ying nodded silently.

Qin Zhaozhao said, "I know that you Jianghu people are not restricted. Except when you go out, you don't have to act like those guards in the house. You must act according to standards."

Gao Ying silently accepted whatever she said.

At the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Qin Zhaozhao did not recognize that he was the person who accidentally entered her room at Lingfengju that night.

He is a person who usually talks a lot, but now he has to pretend to be taciturn, which is really a troublesome test.

Just when Gao Ying was silently complaining, he seemed to hear something, suddenly turned his head and said, "Someone is coming."

Qin Zhaozhao and Qinglian were stunned, and they threw people into the courtyard. It was empty, not a single person.

Qinglian thought this tall and taciturn man was a little funny, so she deliberately teased him, "Xiao Gaowei, are you hallucinating?"

Gao Ying said, "There seem to be about ten people coming from the northwest. Listening to the sound of footsteps, the leader's footsteps are heavy. He should be an older woman, and the ten or so people following behind are all young women."

Qin Zhaozhao was stunned. He heard that only masters could master the skill of identifying people by listening to their voices. Could it be that Boss Ji was really so kind and found a master for her?

Gao Ying suddenly said: "People are coming, it's not convenient for me to appear here."

Although he is a guard, he is not allowed to enter the inner courtyard.

Hearing the sound getting closer, he flashed and quickly disappeared.

After a while, Gao Ying's words came true one by one.

Aunt Zhou walked in with a group of young women. When she saw Qin Zhaozhao, she saluted, "Miss."

Compared to Qinglian's shocked gaze, Qin Zhaozhao was much calmer. She smiled and nodded, "I wonder what's wrong, grandma?"

Nanny Zhou turned sideways, revealing a dozen women with buns behind her, "I heard that there is a shortage of maids in the eldest lady's yard. The old lady specially asked the old slave to pick some smart ones for you to choose from."

Yu Wanyun didn't want to see her, and she was even more annoyed that she had lost face on the day of the family dinner.

He originally intended to suppress her, but now he doesn't even think about her.

Now she only has one maid, Qinglian, and it is really hard to take care of the whole yard.

Qin Zhaozhao picked out some maids who did chores and hesitated for a long time when choosing the maid to serve.

Until she stopped in front of two women in the last row who looked very similar, she raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Twins?"

The two men replied yes.

Qin Zhaozhao's eyes fell on the calloused fingers of the two, looking at the distribution of the calluses. The other two looked at the backs that were more developed than the other women, and narrowed their eyes slightly.

"Practice family?"

One of the women, who always looked calm, nodded, "Girl, yes."

Qin Zhaozhao nodded and said to Nanny Zhou, "Nanny, it's just them."

Aunt Zhou and the two women were both a little surprised. Aunt Zhou glanced at them and said a little unspeakably, "Miss, if you want them to be rough maids, that's fine. But if you want them to be personal maids, I still have to do it." I suggest you pick a few good ones.”

She looked at their ugly hands and shook her head, "A maid sometimes represents the face of her master."

Qin Zhaozhao didn't care, she smiled slightly, "Mother Zhou thinks, if I go out, do I still need someone to give me face?"

"Besides, these two girls are not bad in appearance either."

Grandma Zhou looked at her goddess-like face and consciously fell silent.

After taking away the remaining people, Qin Zhaozhao asked Qinglian to take the rough servants down to distribute the chores in the courtyard. He entered the room and glanced at the two women kneeling in front of him.

"Which of you is the elder sister and who is the younger sister?"

The woman who had just answered the question said, "Girl, I'm a slave."

Qin Zhaozhao asked, "What's your name?"

"Slave Bai Zhi."

Another cute maidservant smiled and said in a lively tone, "I am my younger sister, Bai Lan."

Qin Zhaozhao nodded, "Anzhi Tinglan...yes, that's the name, no need to change it."

The two kowtowed and thanked each other.

Qin Zhaozhao said, "You, the second-class maidservants who serve me personally, just remember what you should do at all times."

After saying that, she nodded towards Nanny Zhou who was waiting at the side, "Excuse me, Nanny Zhou, for your hard work."

Aunt Zhou smiled, "The young lady is looking for the servant she likes. It's worth the trip for me."

"I came here today because I wanted to convey a message to the old lady."

"Next month is the birthday of Mr. Qingguo and his wife. All the female relatives in our mansion will attend the banquet, and the ladies and ladies of senior officials in the capital will also go together."

"The old lady told me that the eldest lady must learn all etiquette within this month so as not to lose her composure when attending the banquet."

"This is the first test she gives you. How to leave a good impression on everyone at the banquet depends entirely on the young lady's ability."

"If you can't do it, the eldest lady should know the consequences."

"During this month, the old lady will arrange everything properly and no one will cause you any trouble."

This was to help her prevent Yu Wanyun from making small moves.

Qin Zhaozhao's eyes flashed and he listened quietly to Grandma Zhou.

She and Gu Changqing took refuge in the old lady and were protected by her in the Gu family. Accordingly, they must gain her approval.

In Mrs. Gu's eyes, there is no need to bother cultivating people who are worthless.

The exchange of interests, you come and I go, is nothing more than this.

After a few more words, Grandma Zhou left.

Birthday of Mr. Qingguo and his wife?Qin Zhaozhao always felt as if he had heard this sentence not long ago.

Qing Guo Gong was once a military commander on the battlefield. This title was given by Emperor Ming. It was mainly to commend Qing Guo Gong for his outstanding achievements in the past.

The title is directly crowned with the "Qing" surname of Qing Guo Gong's family to represent Qing Guo Gong's own glory.

Since it is the old lady's birthday banquet... Qin Zhaozhao thought of another question.

Will the Huainan Prince's Mansion send someone to the banquet?
