Chapter 121

As soon as Xu Shou finished speaking, a row of servant girls and servants followed a round-faced woman and filed in through the door.

"This is?" Zhao Shuang was puzzled, and curiously looked at the maids and servants in brown local costumes.

These people looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, with brown skin, black eyes, and cautious clothes. They wore simple and clean clothes, but there was no decoration on their heads. Both men and women wore a simple bun, and even a wooden hairpin No.

"His Royal Highness, these are carefully selected by the generals. During this time, they are serving the servants of the prince and princess in the dead leaves. The west of Yunnan is no better than Shangjing. If the two highnesses leave the mansion, they will not say anything else, even the language. It doesn’t work, so it’s better to find a few local people to order.” Xu Shou said, and said to the round-faced woman, “Grandma Wu, the work in this courtyard will be entrusted to you from now on.”

Zhao Shuang looked at Granny Wu curiously again.

Granny Wu is about 50 years old, she is not very old, and there are only a few wrinkles on her face.She was dressed in a khaki-colored coarse cloth dress, her skin was dark, her hair was wrapped in a navy blue towel, and her round face was kind and pleasing.

"Yes, master, don't worry." Granny Wu saluted Xu Shou, and then saluted the man in black and the woman in Chinese dress with a smile, "My lord and concubine, if you have anything to do from now on, please tell this old slave."

The regent still didn't speak, but only glanced at the servants curiously, then continued to drink tea with his head down.He always doesn't care about these things in the back house.

"Understood, Granny Wu, go down first." Zhao Shuang nodded, and thanked Xu Shou, "Thank you, General Xu, for your trouble."

She and Yang Xuan came back to West Yunnan, although they brought some Habayashi guards with them, but the sergeants were stationed outside Xu's mansion, and there were not many personal servants with them.Zhao Shuang only took Xiangxia with her, and Yang Xuan only took Pingfeng with her.

In such a large yard, it is also customary to leave a few local servants to serve.

After Xu Shou left, Zhao Shuang finally sat down in a relaxed mood, and called Granny Wu to come in and inquire about the situation in Chuzhou City.

"Grandma Wu, I heard that in Chuzhou City, there is a famous genius doctor who can cure women's infertility. I wonder if you have heard of it?" Zhao Shuang crossed her legs and sat on the high chair opposite Yang Xuan.

"Genius doctor?" The round-faced woman scratched her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly slapped her thigh and said, "Oh! What the princess said...is that... that Jade Immortal!"

The middle-aged woman sighed secretly while looking at the two princes and concubines who came to the capital.

Such a fairy-like figure is also troubled by not having children. There is really no perfect marriage in the world.

"Jade Immortal? That's right, that's him!" Zhao Shuang nodded hastily.

"The Jade Immortal carries a medicine gourd on his body. It is said that there are pills that can cure all diseases. The Immortal can revive the dead and cure bones. He is especially good at ailments of women and children. Everyone in Chuzhou City knows it." Granny Wu said happily, "Some patients still have portraits of Jade Immortals in their homes."

"Medicine gourd?" Zhao Shuang frowned, suddenly had some guesses, and asked the round-faced woman, "Grandma, does the Xu family have a portrait of this Jade Immortal? I want to see it!"

"Our family doesn't have one," said Granny Wu, waving her hands in embarrassment. "Old lady, I have never seen this Jade Immortal before."

Zhao Shuang asked anxiously again, "Does my mother-in-law know how to find him?"

"Oh, it's difficult. Immortal Yu's whereabouts are uncertain, but...he likes to ask for banquets. Wherever there is a banquet for weddings and funerals, the immortal will come to join in the fun when he is free," Granny Wu suddenly smiled brightly. Said, "In a few days, our eldest lady will leave the cabinet. Our uncle has a reputation in the west of Yunnan. This matter is our top priority in Chuzhou City. When the time comes... the immortal will definitely come to have a feast."

"Speaking of your eldest lady," the woman in the goose-yellow dress suddenly began to gossip again, "Who is that uncle?"

"My concubine is talking about Mr. Li?" The round-faced woman said with joy when she said this, "Mr. Li is our general's partner, the city guard of Chuzhou."

Border towns are generally equipped with two officials, one civil and one military, the city guard is in charge of affairs in the city, and the general is in charge of military affairs.

Xu Shou's partner, the city guard of Chuzhou, isn't he... the prince's subordinate?

Thinking of this, Zhao Shuang glanced at the man in black beside him, and saw that he was reading a local book in Chuzhou.

The subordinate married his former concubine, no, it should be said that his concubine ran away and married the subordinate, the prince must feel uncomfortable, right?

The eyes of the woman in yellow changed from watching the excitement to sympathy, and then felt that the figure in the black robe seemed a little lonely and very pitiful.

"Chuzhou City Guard Li Daochong, let's visit him tomorrow." Yang Xuan felt her strange gaze and knew that she was thinking wildly again, so he raised his head and said casually.

"Oh, so it's Master Li," Zhao Shuang looked away, still feeling uneasy, and asked Granny Wu again, "I don't know how old this Master Li is, why hasn't he married yet?"

"Back to the princess, Mrs. Li originally had a wife, but Mrs. Li died of illness a year ago, and our young lady married to her as a continuation." Granny Wu smiled shyly again, lowered her head and said, "This old slave still remembers, Miss Li has admired Lord Li since she was a child, but unfortunately the general insisted on sending her to the capital and into the palace, and later Lord Li married a wife..."

Mrs. Li died of illness a year ago...

Zhao Shuang's heart skipped a beat.I'm afraid Xu Lianyu has Xiao Jiujiu hidden in her heart, and she didn't tell the truth to herself!The reason why she was determined to leave was probably not because she felt ashamed when she woke up, but because she knew the news of Mrs. Li's death, so she hurried back to reconnect with Li Daochong.

The woman in yellow suddenly turned her head to look at the man opposite. Since she could think of this meaning, the prince probably also guessed it.

The regent still lowered his head slightly to read his idle book, as if he didn't think much about it.

"Understood Granny Wu, thank you very much, you go down first, I will come to you again if I have something to do." Zhao Shuang hastily stopped the middle-aged woman from continuing, trying to send her away.

"My lord and my concubine, these two are left by the general to serve as personal servants. If the old slave is not here, what's the matter... just tell them!" Granny Wu did not leave, but greeted the two standing by the door with a smile. A thin figure said, "What are you still doing? Why don't you come in soon?"

Two thin figures, one tall and one short, a man and a woman, came in at the door.

Both of them have dark complexion, but they have good facial features and beautiful appearance, especially the long and curly eyelashes are captivating. In the eyes of Chuzhou people, they can be called handsome and beautiful.

"This is Xiulan and Xiumu. They will be placed in the room to serve the prince and concubine in the future." Granny Wu pointed at the two figures and smiled honestly.

Before Zhao Shuang could react, the maid and servant knelt down to salute, "Xiulan and Xiumu have seen the prince and concubine."

The voices of the teenagers and girls were clear and clear, and their attitudes were submissive.
