Happy pastoral concubine

Chapter 718

"I haven't seen you in a few months. You've lost a lot of weight." Tang Huanxi looked at Xiao Baorui with distressed eyes, "You've lost a lot of weight."

"Don't worry, lady, I'm fine!"

"You came back from Chaozhou day and night, right?"

"Well, I missed you so much, so I didn't take much rest, thinking that I could see you sooner when I came back." Xiao Baorui looked at her, and his voice gradually choked up, "My lady, it's all my fault. I promised you to stay with you in Yunshui County, but I don't want to..."

"But you don't want the situation to change so quickly, do you?" Tang Huanxi wiped his face with her hand, and smiled softly, "Xiao Baorui, don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, if you don't leave, I won't leave." abandoned."

Her gentle smile completely wiped away the fear deep in Xiao Baorui's heart.

As long as the lady is willing to accompany him, even if the road ahead is bumpy, he will be invincible.

"You go to bed first to catch up on a good night's sleep. If you have anything to say, wait until you are full of sleep, okay?" Tang Huanxi held his generous and rough palm and said softly.

Xiao Baorui nodded, and went into the inner room to rest.

The sky was already clear, but now it was raining lightly again.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Qian brought the toothmaid to the Tang residence.

"Huanxi, what do you think of these people?" Qian pointed to one of the sixty-year-old mothers with great interest, and said with a smile, "This Gui mother has a lot of background!"

"Oh?" Tang Huanxi raised her eyebrows, a little curious in her heart.

Grandmother Gui used to serve Concubine Hu. Concubine Hu was the first wife of the ancestor emperor. Later, members of the Hu clan committed heinous crimes and affected the entire family. Concubine Hu thought of Nanny Gui's advanced age, so she tried every means to release her from the palace. .

After leaving the palace, Nanny Gui went to find her own nephew. After more than 20 years of stable life, her nephew suddenly contracted an illness and left in a hurry.

"Since that's the case, why did Nanny fall into Ren Yazi's hands?"

While Tang Huanxi was looking at herself, Nanny Gui was also looking at the woman in front of her.

"Hey, Mammy didn't sell herself as a slave, but Mammy is very good at recuperating people's bodies, so I asked the matchmaker to come with me." Qian Shi had a few words with Nanny Gui, and felt that the other party's conversation was extraordinary. Mammy was very fond of it.

"Mother Gui, are you willing to stay by my side? You used to serve high-ranking officials and nobles, but I'm just a commoner. If I insist on asking you to sign a contract of sale, would you be willing?" Tang Huanxi thought for a while. , looking at Nanny Gui who was always keeping her gaze fixed, asked softly.

"Ma'am, I don't want to sell myself as a slave." Regarding the condition proposed by Tang Huanxi, Nanny Gui refused without thinking.

She had been a slave in the palace for decades, and Concubine Hu exhausted all her efforts to get her out of slavery and gain her freedom.

She can no longer make herself a slave.

"I heard that Mammy is very good at making medicinal meals?"

"Yes."

"I weaned my kid a few days ago. The little guy doesn't think about food and drink these days. He only drinks some rice porridge when he's extremely hungry. Is there any way for Mammy to improve this situation?"

"Madam, would you like to let me see the little master?"

"Naturally."

Under the signal of Tang Huanxi's eyes, Hong Rong immediately went to the wing room and carried Xiao Yijin out.

Nanny Gui took a step forward, gently touched Xiao Yijin's hand, and then looked at his mouth, and soon she knew it.

"If Madam believes in me, I am willing to stay and take care of the little master."

This kid has a full sky and clear eyes.

After serving so many nobles, Nanny Gui has a little more understanding of the art of physiognomy.

This little doll is not extraordinary.

"it is good."

For the fact that Tang Huanxi left Nanny Gui, Qian expressed her happiness.

Hong Rong, on the other hand, was a little worried.

"Is Madam really going to use this Madam Gui of unknown origin?" Hong Rong said worriedly, "Mother Gui is from the imperial palace after all, I'm worried that he will harm my little master in the future."

"Employers are not suspicious, Hong Rong, don't think too much, I won't let anyone have a chance to hurt Yijin."

Even though Hong Rong was worried, since Madam had already made a decision, there was nothing she could do.

This time Tang Huanxi bought two rough envoys and four maids.

The four servant girls were named Hongdou, Hongsha, Pearl and Mingyue respectively.

Tang Huanxi asked Hong Rong to teach the four little maids, but she turned around and went to the kitchen.

When it was getting dark, Xiao Baorui, who had slept all day, felt much better.

Looking at the table of delicious dishes, Xiao Baorui innocently grinned.

"Miss, did you do all these for me?"

"Well, they are all your favorite dishes, eat them quickly."

Braised pork ribs, cola chicken wings, mushrooms and greens, and a big bowl of crucian carp soup with fresh milk.

All of them entered Xiao Baorui's Wu Zang Temple.

"I am full?"

"Well, I'm full." Xiao Baorui squinted his eyes and smiled with satisfaction, then walked around behind Tang Huanxi, gently hugged her into his arms, resting his chin on her thin shoulders, " Ma'am, I miss you so much."

"I miss you too--"

Tang Huanxi responded softly, and her eyes turned red in an instant.

Sensing the change in her mood, Xiao Baorui reluctantly let go of his arms, "My lady, I can't stay here for too long. I have to rush back to Chaozhou in ten days. I want to take you and the child with me."

Xiao Baorui thought about it, and told her the news that he was almost assassinated a few days ago.

"My lady, originally I didn't want to get involved in this vortex, but I didn't expect that both Murong Ze and Murong He wanted to put me to death."

If he was Xiao Baorui, or Xiao Jingchen, he wouldn't have to worry about these things.

After all, these two identities are irrelevant to members of the Murong royal family.

But he is Murong Chen, the third prince Murong Chen who holds the imperial edict of his ancestors.

This identity is enough to make people in the Murong royal family fearful.

"So you don't want to sit still." Tang Huanxi understood what he was thinking, "Xiao Baorui, I am willing to fight side by side with you, but this time we cannot set off for Chaozhou together."

"Why?" Xiao Baorui immediately frowned, his eyes full of puzzlement.

"Because we cannot do without Yunshui County." Tang Huanxi sighed helplessly, "You probably don't know that the magistrate of Yunshui County is Qiu Pingchuan."

"Qiu Pingchuan?"

"Well, Qiu Pingchuan is Qiu Pingfeng's cousin, Qiu Pingchuan's grandfather and the old man Qiuge are brothers. According to the power of the Qiu family, how could they let an outstanding junior come to the barren Yunshui County to be a What about the little county magistrate?"

"My lady, you mean that the reason why Qiu Pingchuan came to Yunshui County is to monitor us?"
