Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 159 Selfishness
Master Xie looked at this daughter with relief, she was calm and calm, neither arrogant nor impatient, she was indeed a great fortune.

If it was Xie Ruitong, now I'm afraid that crying and asking for another Zhuangzi will annoy him, and Master Xie will have to let go and change to another Zhuangzi.

If it's Xie Churou, I'm afraid she's crying, it's so pitiful, her teary eyes make people feel distressed, how can Master Xie not do it?

It was the third daughter who didn't complain to him from the beginning to the end, but comforted herself instead.

Master Xie sighed, once again regretted not taking this daughter back early, and cultivating her daughter well, they will be closer, and Xie Yanniang will be easier to control.

After seeing Master Xie off, Xie Yanniang sat silently in the room, Xue Ling looked at her expression, feeling a little uneasy.

My daughter seemed to dislike Master Xie very much, and she still smiled in front of her face, but when the master left, she immediately turned cold.

"Pack up this set of tea sets, and don't take them out for use in the future." Xie Yanniang frowned in disgust, and said, "Throw it away, and buy it later."

Anyway, she now has four shops under her hands, and she doesn't know how to sit and eat. It's just a tea set, and she can even throw it away!
Xue Ling was amused by Xie Yanniang's gnashing of teeth and childish words, but she was obviously unhappy when she saw her sullen face, she endured it again and again, then flattened her face, took the tea set obediently, and threw it far away .

It's just that when she came back, she saw the old butler kneeling outside, she couldn't help frowning: "Girl, this butler..."

Xie Yanniang got up and went out to have a look, she couldn't help but sigh.

The old housekeeper was really stubborn, Master Xie didn't get up, and kept kneeling all the time.

He is not young anymore, his legs and feet are not flexible enough, if he kneels down again, he may not be able to walk for a long time.

"Quickly, go and ask someone to help the old housekeeper up." Xie Yanniang hurriedly called two servants, and carefully helped the old housekeeper up, a woman had already brought a chair.

The old housekeeper stubbornly refused to sit down, Xie Yanniang said with a straight face and displeasure: "I have spent so much time trying to get Daddy not to pursue the matter, but I didn't ask the housekeeper to just torment me like this. If my body breaks down, who else will give me a hand?" work?"

Hearing this, the old housekeeper was startled, with surprise on his face, as soon as his legs softened, he was about to kneel down and kowtow to Xie Yanniang.

The servant supported him steadily, Xie Yanniang couldn't hold back her smile and said: "Okay, take good care of your wounds, don't damage your legs. There are still many things that need the housekeeper to run errands, so the housekeeper just don't complain."

"Where, it is the blessing of the villain's ancestors to have such a good master as the girl." The old housekeeper finally lost his heart, and the family also saved him. As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, his legs hurt badly.

Two servants carried him back, Xie Yanniang asked Xue Ling to bring the best wound medicine.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in Zhuangzi couldn't help being a little lighter.

Xie Yanniang asked Xue Ling to give purses to the four women at the door, and praised: "You guys did a good job just now, you should be rewarded."

The mother-in-law was overjoyed, but after standing for a while, she got the reward if she blocked the eldest girl, each of them was overjoyed, and she was determined to follow the third girl in her heart.

Xie Yanniang tried her best to protect even the old housekeeper's deceit, obviously she is a kind master.

What they are most afraid of is the kind of duplicitous people who don't treat their servants as human beings, and immediately push people forward as targets if something happens.With such a master, who dares to show loyalty?
At some point, all his wealth and life will be lost, and there will be no benefit at all.

Xue Ling felt sorry for Xie Yanniang, and sighed: "This farmer can't grow crops, and the girl must supplement it. Such a big place, but there are many servants, so many mouths waiting to be fed, what will we do in the future?"

In the past, there was Xie's mansion who made up for it from time to time, but now that Zhuangzi is under Xie Yanniang's name, it's fine if Mrs. Xie doesn't come to ask for money, but don't even think about asking her for a copper coin!
Xie Yanniang was funny, Xueling was in charge of the accounts, but she became more frugal, with the same temper as the old woman, worried: "Although there is no food here, there are other good things. Don't worry about it, you are young, don't spend two days. Wrinkles in the years."

Xue Ling touched her smooth cheeks, she was quite frightened, wrinkled?
Seeing her sneaking up to the bronze mirror, Xie Yanniang was completely amused: "Don't worry, it looks good now. You go and tell the people below to build a fence outside the land. I don't want all messy people to break in casually. Coupled with the remoteness here, it is necessary to take more precautions."

In the past, it was okay to only have some servants. If she came here often in the future, it would be impossible for her to be guarded by a few women outside. It would be better to build a wall, so that she could feel more at ease.

Xue Ling also thinks that the wall is very good, but it will cost a lot of money, which is really painful.

Seeing her expression, Xie Yanniang knew that Xue Ling was worried about money again, and she smiled with eyebrows crooked: "You really fell into the money hole, but I'm not so generous, using private money to build the fence."

She didn't build a wall outside Zhuangzi, but fenced off a hundred mu of land. It would cost so much money that she couldn't afford it at all.

Xue Ling was puzzled, the girl didn't pay, who would be taken advantage of?

Xie Yanniang smiled, and said, "Just wait, the person who gave the money will come soon."

She wrote a letter and told the boy to send it to the Xie Mansion tomorrow morning, so she took a rest early.

It was said that it was two days in Zhuangzi at sunset, but Xie Yanniang really wished she could stay here until she got married, so she would not have to talk about it, and she would not have to face those two sisters who were scheming.

After a good night's sleep, she hugged the quilt and didn't even want to get up.

But Xue Ling came in with water and reported in a low voice: "Girl, the person who built the wall has arrived and is discussing with the old housekeeper what to do. The housekeeper said that everything is up to the girl. It's just that there is a lot of noise hereafter." , Miss, do you want to go back to the mansion and hide?"

Coolies are all young men who always come in and out. Xie Yanniang, an unmarried girl, still lives in the Zhuangzi, which is really unreasonable.

She had a bitter face, and she knew that she would not send the letter so quickly.

Xue Ling put down the water basin, her small face was full of smiles: "The butler said, all the expenses for the fence are covered by the master alone."

Only then did she understand that if Xie Yanniang said that someone paid for it, wouldn't Mr. Xie just eagerly come forward to be taken advantage of?

"But the master agreed, Madam probably won't be very happy." There was a lot of money to build the fence, if Madam Xie knew about it, she would definitely not give Xie Yanniang any good looks.

Xie Yanniang yawned, what does Mrs. Xie's unhappiness have to do with her?

After washing, she sat at the table and had breakfast.It's not as exquisite as in Xie's mansion, not to mention that the table is full of things Mrs. Xie and Xie Ruitong have always liked to eat.

Xie Yanniang can let the cook cook what she likes as she likes, even the porridge and side dishes can be eaten with gusto.Don't worry about being stared at, you have to report to Mrs. Xie how much you eat.

The feeling that it doesn't take long for everyone to know every move is really terrible.

Just after breakfast, the old butler called the servant girl to ask for instructions.

The fence can come leisurely, but it can't let those rude men disturb the girl and send them away early.

Xie Yanniang pondered for a moment, then ordered Xue Ling to pack her things.

No matter how nice this place is, it’s actually not long.

Although the things hidden underneath are valuable, but the land is barren, and it is not suitable for people to live for a long time.

Xie Yanniang didn't want to go back to the house, so after getting into the carriage, she only asked the groom to walk in another direction of Xie's house.

If it doesn't work, she will find an inn and set up a small courtyard, and stay there for three to five days.

With the spare money in hand, Xie Yanniang had the confidence to direct the carriage around with confidence.

She frowned unhappily until the carriage stopped suddenly. Before Xue Ling went to check, she heard a doting voice from outside: "So it's Miss Xie San."

Xie Yanniang was startled, then smiled wryly.

It's not good to meet anyone on the road, but even Long Zhiyu, it's really a narrow road for enemies.

Xie Yanniang put on the veil and got out of the carriage, Yingying bowed down: "The daughter of the people has seen the prince."

"You don't need to be too polite," Long Zhiyu didn't expect to run into Xie Yanniang whenever he went out casually. It's really fate: "Where are you going, girl?"

This direction is not going back to the Xie Mansion.

"Minnv is just walking around, now she has to go back home." She would rather go back to Xie's house than be alone with Long Zhiyu.

Xie Yanniang thought that no matter how tough Long Zhiyu was, he wouldn't insist on taking her away in full view.

Unexpectedly, he only squinted his eyes, then smiled and said: "It's like three autumns since we don't see each other, just in time, how about going with me to Yunfu to enjoy the flowers?"

not so...

The smile on Xie Yanniang's lips froze, racking her brains on how to reject him.

But before she could find the reason, a cold light flashed behind Long Zhiyu's back, and several men with black cloth masks jumped out, holding big knives in their hands.

She was taken aback, the surrounding guards had reacted and surrounded Long Zhiyu: "Protect the prince!"

Long Zhiyu frowned, put one hand on Xie Yanniang's shoulders and comforted her in a low voice: "Girl, don't be afraid, these guards have experienced many battles and will not let bad guys get close."

But Xie Yanniang could see that the big men were tall and burly, they didn't look like Qing people.One of them glanced over from time to time, making her feel chills all over her body.

Such a familiar gaze, could it be...

Her eyes widened, and she almost blurted out the name: Meng Mingqi!

How could this Rong tribe be here, and why did he want to deal with Long Zhiyu?

Xie Yanniang couldn't figure it out, but the guards were forced back step by step.

Although the guards in Beijing are good at martial arts, it is a pity that they have never been on the battlefield. They have no power to fight against these Rong people who have been killed and bloody.

What they have learned is only moves, but what these Rong people know is the knife technique of killing people, stabbing straight at the vitals without mercy!
Seeing that the guards were going to be unable to hold on, the encirclement became smaller and smaller.

Moreover, more and more guards were injured, and it seemed that they could not hold on anymore.

Long Zhiyu looked at Xie Yanniang in his arms hesitantly, he didn't know martial arts, if these villains came in, he would not be able to deal with them.

But he was a little bit reluctant to push this girl out, after all, he hadn't tasted Xie Yanniang, so it would be a pity to send this girl to the sword like this.

Holding Xie Yanniang's shoulder tightly, she frowned in pain.

Looking up at Long Zhiyu beside him, he saw his thin lips tightly pursed, with some struggle and hesitation in his eyes.
