After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 148 The highlight

The doctor came soon.

After diagnosis and treatment, except for some scratches on the back of his head and some bruises on his back, Malkui was fine.

But even so, Qiao Jingjing still asked the doctor to prescribe medicine.

After sending the doctor away, Qiao Jingjing directly took one hundred and twenty taels of silver notes to Mallow.

Mallow was stunned, "Madam, what are you doing?"

"Take it quickly, you deserve it." Qiao Jingjing said, and also gave Qingyuan a hundred taels.

Qingyuan was shocked, "This slave is not injured..."

"Although you are not injured, you are still loyal to me, and I will reward you." Qiao Jingjing said, then she put the silver notes into the hands of the two maids respectively.

The two maids held the banknotes, feeling moved and excited at the same time.

They have never seen so much silver...

After coming back to their senses, the two declined: "Madam is the master of the slaves. It is the duty of a slave to be loyal to the master. You must not ask for rewards."

Qiao Jingjing looked at the two responsible girls and felt happy in her heart, but the reward she gave them was also sincere.

"You don't have to refuse. If it's given to you, you can accept it."

"But this is too much..." The two maids were flattered.

They had never heard of a master being so generous to his servants.

And Madam's reward is a hundred taels.

This made them a little panicked.

Qiao Jingjing saw the uneasiness of the two of them, paused, held their hands and said, "Don't feel any psychological pressure. If you feel that you are getting too much, just continue to be loyal to me in the future."

Hearing this, the two maids said with serious faces: "I will be loyal to my wife for the rest of my life."

"Isn't that enough? Take it quickly. I can't reward you so much every time." Qiao Jingjing said.

She made Shen Ting 10,000 taels this time, plus the 5,000 taels she earned at Chunfeng Tower last time, which equals that she made fifteen thousand taels during this trip to Chuzhou, which was much better than her income from selling recipes.

Of course, she didn't give rewards to the maid casually.

It was because Mallow and Qingyuan were very dedicated and loyal to her, and there would be many opportunities to use them in the future, that she gave them to them.

People always have to have a little sweetness, so that they will have motivation and hope for doing things, and they will not betray their masters for the benefit of others.

When the two maids heard this, they also collected the banknotes and said, "Thank you, madam."

……

lobby.

When a group of officials saw Lu Xingzhi suddenly taking someone out, they were wondering what was going on when they saw Shen Tingzhi coming in with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

Everyone looked shocked, "Mr. Shen, what are you..."

Shen Tingzhi touched the injury on his face and said with a gloomy look, "Don't mention it. I was drunk just now and accidentally fell."

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, "It turns out he was too drunk. I thought Mr. Shen accidentally broke into the young lady's room and was beaten up."

He does not mean that.

Shen Tingzhi's eyes were gloomy.

Thinking of what he had just experienced, he was filled with shock and anger.

That bitch Qiao Jingjing is really ruthless.

But he couldn't complain, and he had to pay for it.

Of course, paying money was a trivial matter, but the injury on his face made him feel extremely angry. Moreover, he was so embarrassed in front of Lu Xingzhi that he was almost beaten to death as a thief.

Thinking about it now, did Lu Xingzhi really not recognize him at that time?
No, Lu Xingzhi definitely recognized him.

But even if he recognized him, he still had to be beaten to death with sticks.

Thinking of Lu Xingzhi's ruthless and cold voice when he gave the order, a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.

Lu Xingzhi wanted to kill him.

Thinking of this, a chill ran down his back.

It seemed that Lu Xingzhi still held grudges about what happened in Xingzi Village that day.

Thinking about it, he raised his head and glanced at the officials in the room.

After drinking, the officials have become ugly and have lost all their usual majestic and steady image. They are no different from the two-year-olds on the street. Seeing this, he woke up completely.

Is Lu Xingzhi planning something?
At this moment, Lu Xingzhi came back.

He still looked gentle, not at all as cold as when he ordered him to be beaten to death with random sticks.

Thinking about it, he picked up the wine glass and stood up, "Master Lu, Shen just lost his temper. I will punish myself with a drink."

Lu Xingzhi glanced at him, "Didn't I tell you that the matter was over? Why did Mr. Shen still bring it up?"

Shen Tingzhi sighed and said with a look of shame: "Shen thought about it over and over and became restless. I really don't have the face to stay any longer.

After finishing the glass of wine, Shen had to leave first. "

"Young Master Shen is so worried. How can you spoil the fun of all the adults just because of such a trivial matter?" Lu Xingzhi looked helpless, "If you like drinking, just drink a few more drinks and don't mention anything about leaving early. Today The highlight of the night hasn’t started yet.”

Shen Tingzhi's heart trembled, "The highlight?"

Lu Xingzhi glanced at him and suddenly gave him a high-five.

In an instant, the dancer in the hall retreated, and the soft sound of silk and bamboo was replaced by a burst of drums.

The dense drumbeats made people feel heart-shaking.

When everyone was wondering what Lu Xingzhi was going to do, they saw a group of well-dressed guards walking in orderly with swords outside the hall.

The prefect of Chuzhou was the first to react, "Master Lu, what are you doing..."

"You will get tired after enjoying singing and dancing for a long time. These guards below were all personally selected and promoted by me. Tonight, I will let them dance for you." Lu Xingzhi said with curled lips.

"It turns out to be a sword dance." Someone reacted.

Looking at the young, strong and tall young guards, everyone's interest was aroused.

"Master Lu is right. After watching the delicate singing and dancing for a long time, I am really tired. This sword dance is very good." Someone agreed.

Only Shen Tingzhi was wary. What medicine was Lu Xingzhi selling in the gourd?

Soon, to the beat of drums, the guards began to dance with their swords.

Compared with the graceful and delicate dancer, the guard holding a sword has a more heroic spirit.

When the swords in their hands were swung out neatly, there was an instant feeling of majesty.

"it is good!"

All the officials applauded.

Shen Tingzhi was still wondering if Lu Xingzhi had any plan. At this moment, a sharp sword suddenly stabbed him.

His expression changed and he immediately overturned the table to avoid the opponent's thrust.

Suddenly, the wine glasses and dishes on the table fell to the floor, making a harsh sound.

This caused everyone to look in his direction.

The governor of Chuzhou was even more surprised, "Mr. Shen, what are you..."

Shen Ting was startled, and saw that the guard who had just stabbed him with his sword had already turned around and continued to dance his sword as if nothing had happened.

It was as if the scene just now was just his illusion.

Shen Tingzhi was shocked and confused.

"Mr. Shen is shocked, but the space is limited, so the guards will inevitably be unable to perform their sword dances." At this time, Lu Xingzhi said slowly.

"Master Shen usually sees dancers dancing. You are not used to it, haha." An official tried to smooth things over for Shen Tingzhi.

Lu Xingzhi also smiled, and then ordered his servants: "Help Mr. Shen prepare a new table of food and wine."

The sword dancing of the guards did not get disrupted because of this incident. They still gestured with the swords in their hands, and every move was full of power.

Shen Tingzhi sat down again.

……

After Qiao Jingjing freshened up, she was getting ready to go to bed and rest.

Hearing the sound of drums coming from the front yard, he felt curious and asked Qingyuan to check it out.

After a while, Qingyuan came back and said with a smile: "It's Chongxi's guards who are performing sword dances for the guests."

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing nodded, ignored the matter and lay down on the bed.

When it was slightly dawn, she was suddenly awakened by the clang of armor rubbing against each other and weapons clashing.

She was startled, immediately sat up, lifted up the curtain, and shouted outside: "Qingyuan, what happened outside?"
