After the divorce, the queen mother was pampered by powerful ministers

Chapter 14
The shopkeeper smiled embarrassedly, "This... After all, it was Miss Shen who chose first..."

"I'll pay five times the price! Shopkeeper, if you haven't paid the money yet, these slaves are not hers, and naturally the one with the highest price will get it!" Zhou Lingli said proudly.

"Shopkeeper, I'll pay ten times." Su Wunian deliberately raised his voice.

Zhou Lingli pursed her lips, "I pay twenty times!"

Su Wunian deliberately lowered her voice, avoiding Zhou Lingli's gaze, "Shopkeeper, change another batch for me, I'll choose a better one."

"Yes, arrange it immediately, there will be better ones in the future." The shopkeeper greeted him with a smile all the time.

"Well, this and that look good."

"Shopkeeper, I want all the slaves Shen Shengge likes today." Zhou Lingli said richly.

But the two servant girls beside her looked worried and hesitated to speak.

……

When Su Wunian came back from the toilet, Zhou Lingli had already brought home the thirty or so slaves she had just bought.

On the carriage, Zhou Lingli's maid asked worriedly: "What should we do? These thirty or so slaves actually spent 1000 taels of silver. How can we explain to Madam when we go back?"

Zhou Lingli was about to cry, after all, she was only a little girl in her teens, "You two trash, didn't stop you just now."

The two servant girls looked at each other in blank dismay. With the scene just now, would they dare to speak?Can you stop it?
"My mother's shop is almost sold out, and my mother will not beat me to death when I go back."

"Who knew that these slaves were so expensive?" A maid resented.

"All of them are [-] times higher than the market price, can they not be expensive?" Another maid asked.

"Why don't we go back?" The servant girl asked tentatively in a low voice, the madam didn't want to beat the young lady, she only beat us slaves.

"Retired?!" Zhou Lingli stretched out her hand and slapped the maid on the face, "Idiot! Do I want to lose face?"

The maid covered her burning face, her eyes were full of tears, she was extremely wronged.

The shopkeeper specially ordered someone to bring the most famous osmanthus cake in Huichun Pavilion in the south of the city. Su Wunian has never liked sweets, but Shen Shengge couldn't resist the osmanthus cake, so he pretended to take a sip.It melts in the mouth, is sweet but not greasy, and has a lingering fragrance. Although I am used to eating cakes made by the royal chef in the palace, I have to say that the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in Huichun Pavilion is really delicious and can be called top grade.

Maybe it's because the 13-year-old Shen Shengge's taste buds are more sensitive, but Su Wunian ate up a whole piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

"Miss Shen, these are all little maids who have been carefully trained by the old man in the palace. They are all smart and know how to survive in the backyard." After the shopkeeper sent Zhou Lingli away, his smile was even brighter.

Su Wunian set her eyes on a little girl wearing a carved kapok hairpin on the edge of the round wooden platform, "That's her."

The smile on the face of the storekeeper who had been through the mall for a long time froze for a moment, and there was a look of respect in his eyes, "Yes."

"Miss Shen is really discerning. She is the girl who once took care of the Empress Dowager personally. She taught herself since she was a child. This girl has a delicate mind, and she values ​​love and righteousness. In her early years, rich and noble people fell in love with her and wanted to buy her to be a regular lady. She refused, saying she would stay here to repay her kindness."

"I thought she was doing it to repay Bi Niang for her upbringing, but after Bi Niang died, she still refused to leave."

"She is willing to appear on stage today, presumably because she has found someone to repay her kindness to."

"I vaguely remember that when I was six years old, I was playing by the river, and I happened to see a girl who fell into the water accidentally, and someone rescued her. She was wearing a kapok hairpin on her head at that time." Su Wunian said lightly, of course , All these pasts were made up by her.

In fact, Su Wunian has eyes and ears above the court, and eyes and ears below the court, in order to prevent blind eyes from listening. These eyes and ears only transmit information through special signals and do not know each other.And this lowly slave shop is also a secret spy, and it has always been in the hands of Bi Niang.

Bi Niang, a personal court lady who once accompanied Su Wunian to Nanchen Kingdom as a hostage, the kapok wooden hairpin was carved with patterns by Su Wunian himself, and there is a hidden poisonous needle in the wooden hairpin.

At that time, a certain dandy son of Nanchen Kingdom had always coveted Su Wu's beauty, and after getting drunk once, he wanted to have an affair with Su Wu.In order to save Su Wunian, Bi Niang was raped by the son and got pregnant with a daughter.Houbi Niang became the eldest son's concubine and secretly collected news from Nanchen Kingdom.

After Su Wunian fled back to Qingyuan Kingdom, he sent someone to help Bi Niang assassinate the son and bring her daughter back to Qingyuan.Bi Niang had been tortured inhumanely. After returning to Qingyuan, she cultivated outside the palace and established this eyes and ears to collect news from various countries for Su Wunian.

After Bi Niang's death, it was always her daughter who took over the management of the lowly slave shop. On the surface, the shopkeeper took care of everything, but the person behind the scenes was Bi Niang's daughter, who was only 15 years old.

And just now Su Wunian passed the news by going to the toilet, and Bi Niang's daughter appeared on the selected slave platform.

Leaving the cheap slave shop, Su Wunian took away two maids, and the shopkeeper gave them to her for free as a thank you.

Brilliant Pavilion.

A slight cool breeze blows in through the window, blowing the blood-red agate bead curtain, and the sound of fine jade beads falling into the plate can be heard endlessly.On the gilt-carved incense burner with double phoenixes and pearls, curling cigarette smoke turns into a thin curtain, which is rolled up by the wind and dissipates in the air.

Su Wunian was sitting comfortably on the soft couch by the circular carved window, playing with the soft pillow with golden thread hooked crabapple flowers on the soft couch with her small white hands, enjoying the cool breeze from outside the window, without wearing a cloak.The cool wind lifts the blue silk on her shoulders, lifts the bangs on both sides of her porcelain-like cheeks, and a pair of bright eyes that have precipitated the galaxy are full of aura.

In front of the soft couch, there were two maidservants kneeling.

"Miss, please give this servant a name." The servant girl, wearing a wooden hairpin with kapok pattern on her head, bowed her head respectfully.Although she is only 15 years old, she has a maturity that she shouldn't have at her age.

Su Wunian vaguely saw Bi Niang's shadow on her body, "You will be called Bi Ying from now on."

"Yes, Miss Xie."

"You raise your head." Su Wunian said to another maid.

The maid raised her head carefully, she was born Xiaojiabiyu, but those eyes could instantly attract Su Wunian.Those were a pair of eyes full of hatred, exactly the same as the eyes when she recognized Xiao Yuanxun's true face back then, but she restrained herself and hid that hatred very well.But the girl in front of her was seen through by her at a glance.

"You know, as a personal servant girl, when serving the master, you should not wear sharp objects on your body, let alone scissors." Su Wunian said in a calm manner. When she met her, other slaves were grabbing a piece from her hand. With silver scissors, she was almost killed.

"know."

"What do you plan to do with your ancestral silver scissors in the future?"

"Find a proper place to store it, and never take it with you to serve the master." The words are sincere.

"Do you know why I chose you?"

"I don't know."

"Living in the mud, surrounded by vicious people, it is difficult to keep a pair of silver scissors, but you managed to keep it, even at the cost of your life. It shows that you are a loyal, filial and righteous person."

"I chose you, and I hope that you will be loyal to me and have no second thoughts."
