Chapter 291 Trouble
Because Wu Ciyi emphasized the two maids that Xixi bought several times in the letter, Zhou Yunshu's gaze was almost fixed there.
Although Xixi is young, she is not a willful child.
Zhou Yunshu intuitively felt that the two maids who made her insist on buying them might be sent by Ji Sheng.
Not only Zhou Yunshu thought so, Ji Mingzhu also thought so when Xixi brought the person back.
When Xixi came back after buying the maid, before she brought anyone to the backyard, Nanny Wang appeared and took Xixi to Ji Mingzhu's room.
The two maids, who were about twelve or thirteen years old, were quite competent. Xixi walked in front, and the two maids followed closely behind Xixi.
Even though he was scolded by Nanny Wang, he still followed Xixi with his head down until he was stopped outside by Nanny Wang.
Xixi just glanced at them and continued walking towards Ji Mingzhu's room. When she saw Ji Mingzhu lying on the couch reading a book, she ran over and said in a baby voice, "Grandma, you called me."
Ji Mingzhu looked at the young Xixi and asked, "Grandpa, I heard that you bought two little maids in the city?"
Xixi nodded her little head.
"yes."
“Why buy them?”
Ji Mingzhu didn't think Xixi would lie as she was only three years old. Even if she did, she could tell at a glance.
Under Ji Mingzhu's gaze, Xixi said seriously: "Because Xixi is rich."
Ji Mingzhu looked at Xixi's clear and bright eyes, and for a moment she didn't know what to say after hearing her childish words.
"Grandpa, can't we buy it?" Xixi looked at Ji Mingzhu doubtfully, with calmness in her eyes.
"It's not that we can't buy them, it's that the slaves we buy from outside have unknown origins."
"Grandpa will check it out." Xixi said as a matter of course.
Ji Mingzhu: “…”
That made sense. She would indeed investigate, or rather, she would definitely investigate them thoroughly.
However, Ji Mingzhu didn't want Xixi to betray her at such a young age.
"Do you know them?"
Xixi shook her head.
"Then why buy them?"
Xixi looked at her grandfather in confusion, not understanding why the same question was asked over and over again.
“Because I like it.”
If you like it, just buy it. Do you need any other reasons?
"Grandpa, can't I buy it?" Xixi tilted her little head and looked at Ji Mingzhu in confusion.
Ji Mingzhu looked at Xixi and thought that it might just be the child's spur of the moment.
After all, no matter what a young child like Xixi does, it won’t be surprising.
"Can."
Just buy it. Just like Xixi said before, she will definitely find out the origins of these two people.
If it was really sent by Ji Sheng, or if there is something wrong with it, then just find a way to get rid of it.
She doesn't want other people's "eyes" staring at her in her place all the time.
Although Zhou Yunshu was not at the scene, she could roughly imagine the confrontation between Xixi and Ji Mingzhu just by reading the letter.
Although Xixi is young, Zhou Yunshu doesn't think that her daughter will suffer at the hands of Ji Mingzhu. She is a fearless person, especially, she has always been very smart.
"What's in the letter?" the proprietress asked curiously.
Zhou Yunshu folded the letter, put it into an envelope, and then threw it directly into the stove.
Zhou Yunshu's movements were so fast that the proprietress was engulfed in flames before she could stop him. "What are you doing? This..."
Before the proprietress finished speaking, Zhou Yunshu smiled and asked, "Where's the good wine you mentioned?"
The proprietress looked at Zhou Yunshu, who was looking strange, and said, "In the cellar."
"Then please, Madam Boss, bring me two jars and cook a few delicious dishes for us."
The proprietress nodded, but thinking of the previous letter, she spoke again, "You and Wu..."
"The boss lady likes him?"
Wu Ciyi seemed to be seventeen or eighteen years old this year, and the proprietress in front of him looked to be in her early thirties.
It’s just that things like feelings are always unpredictable.
"Who likes him! He's just a kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet, why would I like him?" The proprietress refused excitedly.
Zhou Yunshu smiled and looked at the proprietress. She did not continue with her explanation, but said, "Madam, give us more rice. We eat a lot."
After saying that, he turned around and left the kitchen.
This proprietress might really be interested in Wu Ciyi.
Zhou Yunshu had a large group of people, and she wanted to let her men relax a bit, so not only did they eat as much as they wanted at noon, but each person also had two bowls of wine to drink.
After eating and drinking to your heart's content, I had a comfortable night's sleep in the inn. The next morning, I had breakfast, replenished my food and water, and continued on my journey.
At the beginning, Wang Jiu, Jing Gao, Meng Nan and others still had the energy to quarrel and provoke each other, but later on, their minds were full of either morning and evening training or eating more during meals.
There's no way. If you eat slowly, you won't be full. It's really hard to compete for food with a bunch of gluttons.
After a few days of training, Wang Jiu, Jing Gao and others who were not very sociable at first, became more and more like a team after several exchanges and running-in between teams and after sharing hardships and joys together.
It was during this continuous training that everyone arrived at Nagano Manor.
Nagano Manor is larger than Qishui Manor but smaller than Jinguo Manor. There were no troubles like those that happened to Qishui Manor and Jinguo Manor before, so Zhou Yunshu did not stay there for long.
However, the absence of troubles does not mean that Zhou Yunshu will relax her management of the manor.
Before she left, she left Wan Yi and seven well-trained subordinates in Nagano Manor, asking them to train soldiers while assisting in the management of the manor. At the same time, she selected nine people from Nagano Manor and reorganized them into the four completely disrupted teams.
The captains of the four teams remain unchanged, but the team members are rearranged.
Wan Zhong is still the team leader, Meng Nan is the deputy team leader, and there are seven other team members;
Meng Bei is the team leader, Fu Rong is the deputy team leader, and they also have seven team members;
Gan Zhiyong is the team leader, Wang Jiu is the deputy team leader, and they also have seven team members;
Jing Gao is the team leader, the deputy team leader is Huang Yusheng from Nagano Village, and there are also seven team members.
After the redivision, each team included people from Qishui Village, Jinguo Village and Nagano Village to prevent them from forming groups.
I don’t know if it was because the first two villages were too noisy, but starting from Nagano Village, the three villages in a row were safe and sound.
The four teams that Zhou Yunshu had previously arranged also expanded from nine people per team to fifteen people per team. The teams became larger and larger. In addition, each person who joined would receive training from Chu San and Chun Que, so the whole team looked completely different in momentum.
With such an orderly and imposing team walking on the road, they would have to think twice even if they encountered bandits.
Anyway, Zhou Yunshu had been walking for such a long time and had not encountered any blind pirates who would actively attack them.
"Yun Shu, do you want to continue moving forward?"
Wu Gui looked at the map and asked Zhou Yunshu, who was carefully wiping her dagger beside him, "If we go any further, we will reach the territory of Geng Jiang, the bandit leader who has occupied Nanchuan."
