Crossing town house man and wife

Wu Ming was strolling back at a leisurely pace, asking how Huaniang was caught by Yan Heng's guards while walking.

"While I was waiting for you outside, the county guard suddenly brought people over to surround Chunhui Hall, and ordered people to search outside the courtyard." Hua Niang explained, "I dare not run around—the aunts taught me that if I encounter a You can't run around when this kind of thing happens, otherwise, you deserve to be killed by the guards on the spot - I stood up by myself and entered the yard with the others."

You can believe this kind of words!

Wu Ming pouted, disapproving.

Looking at Yan Heng's arrangement, he knew that although he didn't intend to kill his grandmother just like this, he would definitely not let her go out to show her face again. In all likelihood, he would find a reason for illness or something to put her under house arrest in the yard until He felt that she could disappear, and then sent her to the west.

In this way, Yan Heng had to conceal the real reason why the old lady couldn't show up, and when it comes to keeping secrets, who else can hold the mouth of a dead person?

Wu Ming believed that once he left, Yan Heng would go on a killing spree, and none of the old lady's yard or his yard would survive.

This is also the reason why he asked Yan Heng for someone,

Both Jinjiao and Yinjiao are doing things for him, and Huaniang put herself in crisis because of "helping" him, and as long as he speaks, it is possible to save their lives, so he can't just sit idly by and watch them Die here.

As for the future, if they don't keep their mouths tight, leak their secrets, and bring about another murderous disaster, that will be another matter.

"By the way, shall I change your name?" Now that he decided to keep Hua Niang by his side, Wu Ming didn't want her to use such a nasty name again.

"What's your name?" Hua Niang didn't know what Wu Ming did in the house, but only knew that he protected herself at the critical moment. Naturally, she couldn't feel the slightest fear. When Wu Ming said that she wanted to name her, she immediately Turned around excitedly.

"Tortoise shell, how is it?" Wu Ming asked maliciously, "The name of a kind of jewelry."

"Just scare me!" Hua Niang rolled her eyes coquettishly, "A tortoise shell is a tortoise shell, I heard from my aunts!"

"My aunts really teach you a lot." Wu Ming curled his lips depressed when the teasing failed.

"These are things that maidservants must learn. If they want to work in a nobleman's yard, they must learn well." I don’t know, when I saw what the master left behind, I thought it was a useless thing she discarded, and just swept it away, so the master can’t beat us to death!”

"Hehehe..." Wu Ming is very disapproving of the master-servant relationship in this era, but he also knows that talking about equality and freedom with people in this era is like playing the piano against a cow.If it is changed to a taller one, it means that the economic base determines the superstructure, and productivity determines the relations of production.Productivity cannot keep up, and no matter how advanced the doctrine is, it is empty talk, fantasy, and empty talk.

"By the way, ma'am, that..." Hua Niang suddenly changed her style of painting and became hesitant.

"Speak up if you have something to say." Wu Ming urged impatiently.

"Did you name me because you want to keep me in your yard?" Hua Niang asked nervously and expectantly.

"I thought I had made it very clear." Wu Ming deliberately picked up the tone.

"I thought... no, no, no... it was me... no, the servant girl was wrong!" Hua Niang was overjoyed and said incoherently, "I... maidservant... maidservant will be called tortoiseshell from now on! But May the maidservant take advantage of the tortoise shell's blessing to stay by Madam's side and serve Madam for a long time!"

"Stop being loyal, and concentrate on leading the way." Wu Ming rolled his eyes, "Didn't you hear that my stomach is growling?"

"My maid really didn't hear that." Hua Niang, who had changed her name to Tortoiseshell, smiled slyly.

"Smelly girl!" Wu Ming raised his hand and gave Huobi a smack, "Hurry up."

"promise!"

Because he was in a hurry to eat, Wu Ming asked Tortoise to take a shortcut again.

But even so, when they returned to the yard, it was already completely dark.

However, the courtyard was brightly lit, and a group of servants were rushing in and out, quickly cleaning the courtyard and tidying up the inner room.

Wu Ming didn't remember who was in his yard originally, but all the maids before were beaten by the strong woman sent by the old lady to the point that they couldn't stand up. Possibly working the yard as cleanly as these guys are now.

Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao were also missing, which made Wu Ming more sure of his guess.

But Wu Ming didn't go back immediately to ask for someone.

So far, Yan Heng's performance is pretty good, as long as he puts aside a special aspect in which men don't have any reputation at all, at least he can keep his word and do what he says, so Wu Ming decided Wait a while to see if he will send people back to the yard for him.

If you can't send it back...

At worst, he will help them avenge them!

Wu Ming put aside the matter of the maid, and turned to think about his own intestines. He was thinking of asking someone to go to the kitchen to get food. When he glanced around, he suddenly found that the cook he had seen in the kitchen in the morning had also appeared before him. In the yard, he was washing the bluestone slabs on the ground with a few maids.

"Hey, you, the one who was still working in the kitchen this morning!" Wu Ming hooked his fingers towards the cook.

The cook may have been paying attention to Wu Ming, and when she heard him calling her, she immediately stood up, walked quickly to Wu Ming, and bowed to him.

"The servant girl, Qingniang, has seen the madam."

"Why did you come here? Will you work here from now on?" Wu Ming asked.

"Go back to Madam, yes, the servant girl will be the cook in Madam's yard from now on." Qing Niang replied nervously.

"Then let's get to work." Wu Ming said, "Go and get me dinner... I don't like vegetables, but if there are cucumbers... forget it, you can just get me meat, I want to eat it Lamb chops."

In the middle of Wu Ming's words, he remembered that cucumbers were also imported products brought back by Zhang Qian in the Western Han Dynasty after his mission to the Western Regions.

Qingniang obviously didn't know what a cucumber was. Hearing Wu Ming's change of mouth and asking for lamb chops, the expression on her face was obviously relieved.

Wu Ming ignored the others and brought the tortoise shell into the inner room.

The inner room has been tidied up, and a maid with an average appearance and rather old age is instructing a few people to arrange the decorations there, and when she sees Wu Ming coming in, she immediately goes up to greet her.

"The maidservant has seen the madam."

"Who are you?" Wu Ming asked suspiciously.

"The servant girl came here to serve the lady by the order of the lord, and I also asked the lady to give the maidservant a name." The maid replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"What was your original name?" Wu Ming's first impression of her was not good, and when he saw her, he would unconsciously think of those bone spirits of later generations.

White-collar, backbone, elite.

Not soft, not cute, not painful.

Of course, people don't need him to be hurt.

"My maidservant's original name is Zhuji." The maidservant's speaking speed and tone remained unchanged.

"The pearls of every word?"

"Yes."

"Then continue to call Zhuji." Wu Ming waved his hand, "It's late at night, don't bother with these things, we will do it tomorrow."

"No." Zhuji got up and gestured to the other maids, and took out all the decorations that hadn't been put away, and she also left with interest, leaving the space for Wu Ming.

"Wait." Wu Ming called her to stop, "Get the clean room ready, I want to take a shower."

As soon as he came back, he ran to take revenge. The sand on his body hadn't been washed off yet, and his shoes were full of mud.

"No." Zhuji bowed in response and exited the inner room.

Seeing that all the other maids had gone out, Tortoise couldn't help asking: "Madam, what am I doing?"

"You? Let's put it next to me first." Wu Ming said casually.

From human to ghost for so many years, Wu Ming has been alone, how would he know how to arrange a maid.But at this moment, he was worried about handing over the tortoise shell to someone else, for example, Yan Heng had obviously inserted it in as a pearl of eyes and ears, so he simply stayed by his side and chatted to relieve boredom.

"That's right." Wu Ming said suddenly, "Don't you ask me what I did in the old lady's yard?"

"Don't ask." The tortoiseshell eyes are shining, cunning and cute, "The servant girl has eyes, ears, and brains. Madam enters in arrogantly and comes out safely. It's too inappropriate."

"Little clever ghost." Wu Ming laughed, raised his hand and pinched the tortoiseshell's nose.

Sure enough, the little loli is the best, and the bad ones are so cute!

From the moment Wu Ming saw Tortoise Shell, he didn't classify her as a good child.After all, what she did was, in a sense, a betrayal of the Lord, and a good obedient and reasonable child would never be able to do it and would not dare to do it.But love Wu, Wu Ming appreciates this kind of rebellious boy, with a little guidance, maybe he can become a rebel pioneer in the future.

Wu Mingzheng flirts with the little Lolita while flirting, Zhuji appears at the door again, and after giving the gift, she takes the initiative to report her intention, but it is the golden horn and the silver horn that are sent back.

"Where's the person?" Seeing that the two of them didn't come to salute with Zhuji, Wu Ming couldn't help being suspicious.

"The two girls were seriously injured, so the servant girl decided to send them to the wing room." Zhuji explained calmly.

"Let me go and have a look." Wu Ming stood up and walked towards the door.

Zhuji was stunned for a moment, but she didn't say anything to stop her. After a breath, she regained her previous composure, turned around, and led the way for Wu Ming.

There was nothing serious about Jinjiao and Yinjiao, at least not so serious that they would die, and the scars were all on their bodies, and they didn't hurt their faces.

Although Wu Ming knows spells, on the one hand, he can't expose the matter. On the other hand, healing spells can also have the effect of stopping bleeding. If he wants to recover, he needs to use medicine wisely, so Wu Ming didn't intervene, and said a few words With no pain or itch to comfort, he got up and left.

After going out, Zhuji approached again and asked the maids about their living arrangements.

Only then did Wu Ming know that Yan Heng didn't let the maids live in his yard at all, but only asked them to come to work during the day.But Wu Ming insisted on taking Jinjiao and Yinjiao to his side to recuperate. In this case, Zhuji had to arrange for someone to take care of them, and not only during the day, but also at night to avoid accidents.

"Look at the arrangements." Wu Ming didn't bother to pay attention to these trivial matters, and immediately pushed them back into Zhuji's hands, but he still remembered that he had to take responsibility, so he added, "If the sheriff asks, just say I agreed."

"No." Zhuji saw that Wu Ming didn't understand at all, so she readily agreed without making any trouble.

Just in time, the cook brought the dinner back, Wu Ming immediately put all other things behind him, took the food box, and went into the house to eat.
