Merchant's daughter is not a concubine

Chapter 254 Placement (4)
Shui Jingnian wanted to give Ning Qing money, but Ning Qing refused: "I have it myself, I have 20 taels. If you want to contribute money, when I open a shop in the future, you can just participate in the shares."

"What kind of shop do you want to open?"

"Well, go back and think about it. Anyway, I want money! I don't feel safe without money. Now I'll buy a few servants for use."

"Yeah." Shui Jingnian nodded: "But you need to rest more, don't be in a hurry to do business. Your injury hasn't healed yet, you need to recuperate for two months before you act. Don't worry, I will find the best doctor in Tianshui Come here and show you the wound and your face."

Ning Qing touched her face, and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if it's cured or not!"

Hui Ping cleaned up the living room of the house, Ning Qing was sitting there, and Ping Xing had already brought her grandma.There were old and young, men and women, standing in front of Ning Qing in rows.

Ning Qing didn't know how to pick people, but Pingxing and Huiping knew a little bit, asked a few questions, and decided to buy two families.

The family's surname is He, a He mother in her 50s, He's mother's son He Sheng, his daughter-in-law, and their seven-year-old son.

The family's surname is Lai, an old man in his 50s, his wife Lai Ma, his son Lai Bing, and Lai Bing's wife.

"Girl, you have to choose another maid who will serve you closely." Hui Ping said.

"Do you think you are too tired as a waiter?" Ning Qing smiled: "Well, why do I feel sorry for you?"

Ning Qing went to look at those maidservants, Shui Jingnian was standing behind Ning Qing, nine out of ten couldn't help but look towards Shui Jingnian.Fortunately, the granny brought twenty maids!So there are two more that I haven't seen!Ning Qing ordered the round face, thirteen or fourteen years old, with black eyes, and named it Spring Rolls.

After Ning Qing chose a good person, the old woman handed over the deed of sale and left.

Hui Ping immediately arranged for these people to start cleaning the yard. Shui Jingnian took Ning Qing after dinner, and the yard would be ready to move in when she came back. It was getting dark, and Ning Qing sent Shui Jingnian back to the palace.

At this time, the door was about to close, when someone knocked on the door suddenly, and it was Mother He who opened the door, and Chun Juan ran in a little timidly: "Girl, there is Miss Zhao outside."

"What Miss Zhao, I don't know." Ning Qing put down the book in her hand.

"It seems to belong to the house opposite."

"Oh, it's a neighbor, please come in."

Ning Qing went out of the yard, and saw a pretty girl of fourteen or fifteen years old walking over, she was holding a basket in her hand: "You guys just moved here? My name is Zhao Yufeng, and I live across the street. I made this with my own hands." The mung bean cake from here is for you to eat."

"Thank you." Ning Qing took it, and immediately asked Hui Ping to take out a purse: "No preparation, this is a return gift for you."

Zhao Yufeng looked inside and saw about ten people coming and going to pack up their things: "Are these all servants of your family?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Ning Qing looked at her strangely.

"Your family has so many servants. There are no servants in my family." Zhao Yufeng said.

The corner of Ning Qing's mouth twitched, what does this mean?
"What is your house for?"

"My family is in business."

"Oh." Zhao Yufeng nodded: "My elder brother is a master of juren, and he is going to be the number one scholar in the Chunwei exam next month."

Ning Qing hehe: "Congratulations."

Seeing that Zhao Yufeng had nothing to say, she left.

In the early morning of the next day, Ning Qing and Hui Ping went to the street to do some shopping, and when they came back, they were followed by several dudes with malicious intentions.

Because even if Ning Qing covered her face with a veil, just a pair of eyes and a muscular body make people think that she is a stunning beauty.She was alone outside with a servant girl, so it was inevitable that she would provoke some difficult people.

Hui Ping was so frightened that her face turned pale, she said in a low voice, "I would have called He Mama and He Sheng together."

"If this is the case, I will be targeted. I am not afraid of thieves stealing, but I am afraid of thieves thinking about it. Look at me, it is a once-and-for-all solution."

As Ning Qing spoke, she suddenly turned around and looked at those dudes, who stared at Ning Qing's eyes and figure and gasped. Ning Qing narrowed her eyes and took off her veil on the spot : "Are you still following?"

Frightened by the horrific scar on Ning Qing's face, those dandies yelled loudly: "Damn! You scared me to death, you are actually an ugly monster!"

"Disfigured girl! A waste of my young master's time!"

Ning Qing giggled and said, "Look, it's very useful, not to mention showing your face, even walking at night is safe."

Hui Ping felt a burst of sadness in her heart. In addition to being sad, she looked at the front and was startled suddenly: "Hey, who are you? What are you doing with such a big stick?"

After those dandies dispersed, a man in blue shirt appeared, about 20 years old, handsome, bookish, but what he held was not a book, but a big stick.

The scholar smiled awkwardly: "I watched the girl being followed by these notorious dandies from behind, so I thought..."

Ning Qing chuckled: "Don't you want to beat someone for me? Thank you very much."

After Ning Qing finished speaking, she left with Hui Ping. Her new home was just around the corner. When Ning Qing walked to the door, seeing the scholar still following her, she asked, "Do you want to come up for tea?"

"No, I live across the street." The scholar smiled and said, "I didn't expect that we are neighbors. Xiaosheng's surname is Zhao, his name is Zixuan, and he is a Juren."

"Oh. It turns out that you are the elder brother of Miss Zhao, and you will be the No. [-] Scholar in the Chamber of Commerce next month. Congratulations." Ning Qing said.

Zhao Zixuan blushed a lot: "No. [-], it's so easy! If you can get into the first-class Jinshi, you have to burn the incense!"

He said again: "I saw someone moving things yesterday. Why doesn't your house have a plaque yet, how about I write one for you."

Ning Qing looked up at the empty lintel, and it was really necessary to write a plaque to be decent: "Then write one for me this afternoon, thank you, I will ask someone to prepare an empty plaque."

In the afternoon, when Uncle He came back from finding an empty plaque outside, Zhao Zixuan immediately came over and wrote the words "An Ning Yuan" to Ning Qing. When it comes to the lintel, it has a bit of character.

Ning Qing asked Chunjuan to go to the room and took out a set of pens and inkstones for him.
