"Very good. This hairpin is for you." Cai Ling picked up a hairpin from the dressing box and threw it to Xue Xin.
Xue Xin looked at the gold hairpin and couldn't help but express his gratitude repeatedly.
Perhaps because they shared a common hatred for the enemy, Cai Ling found her quite pleasing to the eye and asked, "Where do you work?"
Xue Xin's heart moved, and she had a vague premonition, so she quickly replied: "Miss, I'm working in the utility room."
Cai Ling said "hmm", "I'll tell Qianniang later and have you transferred to my side to serve me."
Working for a girl is much more promising than working in the storage room!
Xue Xin was overjoyed and immediately knelt down in front of her, expressing his loyalty and promising to serve her well.
Cai Ling was very pleased with her attitude and said softly, "Get up."
Now that she knows Xue Huan's identity, Cai Ling will not let her off easily.
Although she is helpless now, it doesn't mean she can't do anything.
Cai Ling wrote a letter that night and gave it to Xue Xin the next morning, asking her to give it to the errand boy and have him deliver it to the post station.
The girls on the boat were all wives of criminal officials, so the letters they sent out naturally could not be taken lightly. Who knew if there was any evidence of guilt mixed in them?
So after the servant received the letter, he did not deliver it immediately, but handed it to the brothel owner Qianniang first.
After Qianniang looked at it, she didn't see anything wrong and sealed it again, "Take it."
The servant delivered the letter to the post station.
When the post stations were first built, they were used to transmit urgent military affairs from various places. However, as the country enjoyed peace for a long time and the borders were peaceful, there were not so many urgent military affairs that needed to be transmitted, and the post stations gradually declined.
Later, a minister in the court suggested that some post stations should be appropriately cut to reduce losses. After all, the post stations needed maintenance, the officials in the post stations needed to eat, and they also needed to raise horses. Which of these things cost money?
However, this proposal was opposed by another minister, who also proposed a way to make the post stations profitable and self-sufficient without cutting them down.
The solution is to expand the business scope of the post station, not only serving as an institution for the country to transmit military affairs, but also for civilian use, such as delivering letters, transporting goods, etc.
In this way, the post station not only did not need to be allocated money by the court to maintain it, but it could also make money and generate revenue on its own.
In addition, there is another benefit to doing this, which is that you can collect intelligence from the people in the process of delivering letters and goods!
The emperor naturally agreed to such a good proposal and handed the matter over to the minister.
Soon after, an ancient version of express delivery service came into being.
Post stations in various places have come back to life. Even with the rapid development of the express delivery industry, the number of post stations has increased year by year, popping up one after another like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
There are government-run ones and private ones.
Today, delivering mail is not as difficult as it once was.
Thanks to the express delivery of the post station, Cai Ling's letter was delivered to the recipient, Zhang Ying, within two days.
That’s right, it’s Zhang Ying.
Why did Cai Ling write to Zhang Ying? It's simple: to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
She is now trapped on the flower boat and it is difficult for her to get out. Naturally, it is impossible for her to do anything to Xue Huan, but if she can't do it, others can.
Zhang Ying was the one chosen by Cai Ling. Why? When Cai Ling was still the daughter of the county magistrate, although she had not been able to squeeze into Zhang Ying's social circle, one thing was clear: Zhang Ying was very beautiful.
And Xue Huan's husband's appearance is definitely enough to move Zhang Ying. In order to persuade Zhang Ying, Cai Ling also attached a portrait of Xue Huan's husband in the letter.
Although it was difficult for her to depict one-tenth of the man's appearance, the degree of the portrait alone was enough to impress Zhang Ying.
And if Zhang Ying had any feelings for that man, wouldn't Xue Huan, her wife, become an eyesore? Then, Zhang Ying would definitely not let her off easily!
This is what Cai Ling planned.
When Zhang Ying received the letter and opened it, she immediately recognized the man in the painting as the one she had met on Chinese Valentine's Day! Desperate to find out about him, she sent her most trusted guard out, but Ximing disappeared and never returned!
Unexpectedly, Cai Ling, who had been imprisoned in the Jiaofangsi, actually knew the identity of this man.
Huo Kang...
Zhang Ying murmured softly, "Is he really just an escort? The aura that erupted from him that day didn't seem like that of a simple escort."
This is interesting.
But no matter what, she wanted to thank Cai Ling for sending the letter.
Zhang Ying immediately sent people to inquire about the "Xue Family of Shanghe Village", but learned that the family had now moved to Fengchi County and settled down in Qingyun Lane.
*
Xue Huan drove a donkey cart from Shanghe Village and returned to Fengchi County.
Now when she wants to switch to Zhao Xiaoxian's identity, in order to make it more logical, she will use the excuse of "returning to the village to take care of the vegetable garden" to go out openly.
Once in the village, she could leave by working in the vegetable garden.
Anyway, Xue Qing and Xue Xiu are puppets and will never betray her as their master, so she doesn't need to hide anything in front of them.
To make it more realistic, she also brought back a truck full of fruits, vegetables, and live chickens and ducks.
When I got home, I saw a magnificent carriage parked at the entrance of the alley, blocking the road.
Xue Huan stopped and said to the driver, "Please make way."
The driver moved the carriage outward, and Xue Huan's donkey cart was able to enter.
When I arrived at the door, a girl dressed as a maid came out. She was wearing brocade and embroidered clothes with gold and silver jewelry. She was dressed more luxuriously than many other young ladies. It was obvious that she was not an ordinary maid.
The expression on his face was very proud.
"Miss, you're back." Uncle Mu sent the maid out and saw Xue Huan hurried out to greet her.
The maid looked Xue Huan up and down. When she saw the mud on her shoes, contempt flashed in her eyes. "Are you Xue Huan?"
The tone is very condescending.
Xue Huan raised her eyebrows. Whose maid is this? She runs in front of her to show off her superiority?
Uncle Mu said, "Miss, this is Miss Liyun who is with Miss Zhang from the Governor's Mansion."
"Miss Xue, please come with me." Liyun gave the order without any explanation.
Xue Huan was puzzled. "Why should I go with you?"
Liyun frowned and said reluctantly, "Our girl wants to see you."
Xue Huan: "Oh."
And then nothing happened.
Xue Huan ignored her and just asked Uncle Mu to help her move things.
Liyun looked at the chickens, ducks and geese in the car and moved away with disgust, as if she was afraid of being suffocated by their smell.
In fact, these livestock eat vegetables that contain faint spiritual energy, drink diluted spiritual springs, and are usually free-range, so they are very healthy. Xue Qing and Xue Xiu take very good care of them, so their fur is shiny and there is no strange smell on their bodies.
Liyun's behavior was so artificial that it was laughable.
To be honest, she doesn't eat as good as these livestock, and doesn't live as comfortably as them. I really don't know why she is so complaining.
Besides, these livestock were very popular in Yingxian Tower and Zuifeng Tower, and she couldn't even afford to eat them even if she wanted to.
