MTL - Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World-Chapter 293 ability

   Li Baolu waved his hand to let all the servants step down, leaving only Ziluo and Zishan to wait by his side.

   Everyone looked at each other in dismay before bowing back.

   Yuan Shanting glanced at Ziluo and Zishan behind her with a half-smile, and said, "Mrs. Gu is finally willing to come back. I thought you were going to hide for the rest of your life."

   "Yuan Daxia misunderstood. We did have important things to do when we went to Qinjia Village, not to hide from you."

   "Then have you decided to tell us your master's whereabouts?"

   "Why do you have to find my master?"

   "Who isn't curious about Bai Daxia's whereabouts today? Even the big sects such as Wudang Huashan are secretly paying attention. After all, Bai Daxia has been pardoned. Is Lingtianmen re-emerging in the Jianghu, or is there a successor?"

   "Although my master has been exiled for 18 years, my uncle and aunt have been wandering the rivers and lakes. How can we get out of the rivers and lakes again?"

  Su Anjian sneered, "Bai Daxia is the head of Lingtian Sect. Ma Yihong and Miao Jingjing not only changed their surnames, but also betrayed their younger brothers and sisters. Do you think they can represent Lingtian Sect?"

Yuan Shanting shook his fan and said with a smile: "Mrs. Gu doesn't know yet, your uncle and aunt have not been doing well over the years. Daxia Bai has many friends in the arena, and the major parties are those who bully their teachers and destroy their ancestors. It can't be tolerated either, so you know."

   That's why Ma Yihong and Miao Jingjing wanted to kill Bai Yitang, got the token of the head of Lingtianmen from him, and dug out the secrets of Lingtianmen to rebuild their prestige.

  Jianghu, as long as they have the ability, even their vicious minds will be recognized. The key is to get the token of the head of Lingtianmen.

  Yuan Shanting was not interested in the military book, but he was very interested in the secret treasury and treasures of Lingtianmen. Those gate factions on the rivers and lakes did not show up, but they were also paying attention to this matter secretly. I believe they are also very interested.

   As the owner of Wenyuan Pavilion, Yuan Shanting has an advantage in this matter. Even if Wenyuan Pavilion can't find the treasure in the end, as long as he can get the news of Bai Yitang, he can make a lot of money just by selling the news.

However, he still wanted to do business in the officialdom, so he didn't want to waste his life-saving grace. He could only play the friendship card and tried to convince Li Baolu, "Mrs. Gu, you can hide from your teacher for a while, but you can't hide for the rest of your life. Lingtianmen It has been passed down for a long time. It is regarded as a first-class sect in the rivers and lakes. It has friendship with all major sects. Miao Jingjing, give him justice."

"I asked Yuange to have branches in various places. If Daxia Bai is worried about being disturbed after showing up, why don't I ask Yuange to do it for you? How about an appointment for everyone to gather?" Yuan Shanting looked at Li Baolu sincerely and said. "Don't worry, Mrs. Gu, although I ask Yuange's fee is high, I have always admired the person of Bai Daxia, so this time I ask Yuange I will not charge you. He has always been admired by our pavilion master."

  Li Baolu sneered, "Yuan Daxia doesn't need to mock me, I won't tell you where my master is. But if you threaten me with kindness, I have to tell you even if I don't want to."

  Yuan Shanting, who was about to show admiration:  …

  Woman, as the disciple of the white hero, shouldn't you be mighty and unyielding, rich and noble but not promiscuous?

   Is it really okay to betray Master in order to repay your kindness?

  Su Anjian also looked at Li Baolu blankly, and felt that since she could see through Yuan Shanting's eloquent words, she shouldn't be so stupid to reveal her filthy thoughts, so the conclusion is that she also has a conspiracy!

  Yuan Shanting also felt that Li Baolu must have a conspiracy, and he didn't want to exchange his kindness for news, but what should he do, he really wanted to know if he should come down and she would really betray her master.

   I really want to know, I really want to know.

   As the hall master of Wenyuan Pavilion, what he pursues is to solve doubts, but now he can't ask questions or get answers, Yuan Shanting feels that he is about to die.

  Forbearance, Yuan Shanting couldn't help but ask: "Lady Li, if I really promise, will you really tell us the whereabouts of the respected teacher?"

  Li Baolu smiled slightly at them, but did not answer, how to understand this smile depends on their understanding.

  Yuan Shanting:  …

   "Madam," the little Er hurried up, "Five people came from outside, they said they were old servants of your family, and now they want to see my wife."

   The smile on Li Baolu's face became even wider, and it was finally here!

   Instead of being controlled by the Qin family, it is better to use the old servants before the direct branch. They have experience and ability, and they will come back to the door if they are not in a bad situation or a real loyal servant, or both.

   Signed a sales contract, which is indeed much better than someone who uses the Qin family.

   Li Baolu asked Yuan Shanting and Su Anjian to drink and chat by themselves for a while, and she went to meet the "old servant".

  Li Baolu did not avoid the servants and wives of the Qin family who followed, so they all knew what Li Baolu was going to do in the city this time.

   But no one dared to say anything, they still had to serve Li Baolu and entertain those who came to defect.

After asking about their names, previous positions, their experiences over the years, and their plans after reselling, Li Baolu marked it in a notebook and said, "If you come again tomorrow, I will invite someone to make a contract, and so on. Once it's done, make arrangements."

   The five knelt on the ground and kowtowed gratefully, "Mrs. Xie is very kind."

  Li Baolu got up to help the person up, and sighed: "Recalling you to the Qin Mansion is to fulfill the master-servant relationship between you and your uncle."

   All five of them lowered their heads and wiped away their tears. It was not easy to live as a slave, but it was not so easy to live as a common man.

   They have been servants of the world since childhood. They can bring tea and water, research ink and spread paper, keep records, manage shops, entertain merchants, and even deal with officials and make suggestions, but they can’t farm.

   Without capital and a family to support, it is difficult for them to achieve anything.

   The key is that they are accustomed to obeying orders, and they can handle the affairs of the master decisively, but when it comes to their own affairs, they always fail for various reasons.

   Although their life will not be difficult, it is much worse than the previous life.

  It is naturally good to be a good citizen, which means that in theory, no one can decide their life or death except for committing crimes and being detained by the government.

But the danger to their lives is not high when they work in Dizhi. Dizhi never kills slaves. If a slave commits a crime, they will beat them a few times. The worst thing is that they will be sent to the government to be sentenced or resold. go out.

   But as long as they are prudent in their words and deeds, they can live peacefully and be as prosperous as ever.

   So as soon as they learned that the master had been rehabilitated, and the master and his wife returned to their hometown to take care of the master's property, they ran to defect.

   Originally, they wanted to go directly to Qinjia Village, but they didn't even go to the entrance of the village. The five had no choice but to squat near the inn or at the main intersection of Qinjia Village and wait.

Li Baolu comforted the five with grace and power, and then said softly: "The government has returned all of my uncle's property, and there are many servants that are lacking. I know that many people want to come back, but our time is limited and we will not be here. Ru Ning stayed for too long. My uncle pity you and can't bear you to go to nowhere, so husband decided to use these three days to gather old people. If you have the heart, ability is not bad and loyal, we will use it, but after three days, we will use the position that is still missing. They will choose people from the Qin clan, or buy them from outside, and those who come back will have to follow them for the assessment. If you still know old times, please let them know, and if they want to, they will be within these three days. Come on."

   The five people were overjoyed, this is the back door opened by the master family, which means that those who came to defect in the first three days will stay as long as it is not too bad.

   The five immediately knelt down and kowtowed to leave, and went to inform the people they knew.

Not long after the five people left, people came to defect one after another, and reached a climax in the afternoon. Several groups of people rushed towards the inn. When they arrived at the inn, they lined up in an orderly manner. As soon as they entered the door, they knelt down and returned their names. He used to work in Qin Mansion, what are you good at, what have you been doing in the past few years, and what do you want to do after returning to Qin Mansion.

   Ziluo and Zishan were also literate, so Li Baolu took two stacks of white paper for them to record, and selected five literate ones from the crowd. As a result, there were seven teams in the inn, and how many people came were quickly registered.

  Li Baolu sat on the other side, recruited the person who made the record in front of him to ask some things in detail, and roughly revealed some of their future work and life arrangements.

  The anxious old servants gradually became more at ease, and they became more and more cautious when answering questions.

  Yuan Shanting and Su Anjian sat on the second floor and looked down. They were a little bored at first, but now they are full of only sighs.

Even Su Anjian, who has always been cold-faced, couldn't help but say: "No wonder the family can be passed down for a hundred years, or even a thousand years, and it is difficult for one person in a hundred ordinary people to be literate, but look at the servants who came to defect below, six out of ten people can recognize words. , including the maids."

"This Bai Daxia's apprentice is not simple," Yuan Shanting said. "The other day, it was obvious that her Qinggong has been passed down by Bai Daxia. She is very outstanding among the major schools at her age. Whoever practices Qigong can't wait to save all the time to sleep. Come out? But looking at what she has done today, it is obvious that she still has a lot to learn, and she can practice kung fu so well."

  Li Baolu was too young, and it was difficult to quell a bunch of servants, but she dared to use the spies buried beside her and the old servants who just came to defect. The most important thing is that everyone still listens to her.

   This is not something that ordinary people can do. Yuan Shanting considers himself to be clever, but when he first took over Xintangkou, he fought with his subordinates.

   It took a lot of effort just to subdue them.

   Li Baolu was so good, he wanted to know if she would really betray her master.

   Yuan Shanting couldn't help looking at Su Anjian.

Su Anjian said: "Don't look at me, you insisted on going back at that time, I just helped, even if I didn't do it, you and your subordinates can also save them, not so much the life-saving grace It belongs to the two of us, rather it belongs to you alone, if you want to ask, just ask."

  Su Anjian paused and said, "I'm afraid you'll suffocate if you don't ask me."

  As a good friend, Su Anjian naturally knew that the reason why Yuan Shanting went to work in Wenyuan Pavilion is not so much that he loves money, but that he enjoys the process of chasing doubts and collecting information.

   So he did not stop him in this matter.

  Yuan Shanting struggled for a whole night, and finally Li Baolu couldn't help but ask when he came to the inn again the next day, "Li Nvxia, tell me about your master's whereabouts, it's my life-saving grace."
