Chapter four hundred and twenty first
Although Qin Nanling was honest, he was not a fool. He noticed the tiredness of Ji Qingnian's eyes and eyebrows, and immediately suggested: "A Nian, I think you are a little sleepy, so why not go back to your room to rest. I'm going to patrol the town, so let's talk about this today."
Ji Qingnian was really sleepy at this moment. When she saw Qin Nanling saying this, she no longer pretentiously. She nodded and said in agreement: "Then I will listen to Brother Qin. I will go back to my room to rest for a while, and you can also do yours."
Qin Nanling nodded, then walked to the door and called a maid, and whispered to the other party: "You help the county magistrate go back to the room. From now on, she will be the master of this yamen. Treat her like an old county magistrate. You should try to satisfy her any requests she has and never neglect. If I know that you have neglected the new county magistrate, you will be good-looking."
When the maid heard the order, she nodded respectfully. Then she walked slowly towards Ji Qingnian with her little feet, while Qin Nanling waved at Ji Qingnian and left without looking back.
"Mr. Ji, let me help you back to your room."
The maid bowed to Ji Qingnian Yingying and said timidly.
Ji Qingnian looked at the maid standing in front of her and found that the latter had a pretty face and a tender face. She only looked no more than fifteen years old. She couldn't help but feel secretly frightened, and then felt a little regretful for the latter.
"What a great girl, why did she come out to serve people at a young age?"
Ji Qingnian sighed in her heart, then she reached out and patted the maid's shoulder, and asked softly: "Little girl, what's your name?"
The maid was stunned when she heard this, then touched her chin and thought for a moment, then replied in a low voice: "I don't have a name. I only have a name since I was taken in by the master, called Lurou."
"Lu Rou, what a good name."
Ji Qingnian repeated the maid's name and then exclaimed softly.
The maid rarely seems to be praised like this. After hearing Ji Qingnian's words, two red glows suddenly appeared on her white cheeks, as if the clouds were colored by the morning glow, so cute.
Ji Qingnian was so moved by her side that she couldn't help but reach out and pinched the maid's cheek. The soft and delicate touch made her love so much that she couldn't let go of her heart. She couldn't help but pinch it for a while.
The maid was shocked by Ji Qingnian's sudden action, but perhaps because of the two of them, she did not protest, but just stood silently and allowed Ji Qingnian to attack her. She blinked her big eyes, and a layer of fine mist gradually appeared in her eyes, and she was about to cry.
Ji Qingnian's eyes turned, and he saw the water vapor in the maid's eyes at a glance. She was startled and quickly let go of her palm. Then she looked at the maid and asked with concern: "Lu Rou, what's wrong with you? Did you suddenly remember something sad? Why don't you tell me, maybe I can help you."
Lu Rou reached out to wipe the corners of her eyes, then shook her head, and lowered her head silently.
Ji Qingnian was very thoughtful. After a little thought, she realized that her actions just now were too abrupt. She might have scared the little girl in front of her. She immediately touched her head and said with some guilt: "I just lost my composure, don't mind."
The maid was stunned when she heard this, then suddenly raised her head and looked at Ji Qingnian, and said stutteringly: "Sir, I am fine, you don't have to take it to your heart."
Ji Qingnian stared at the girl in front of her, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She thought for a while, then asked, "Where are your family, where are they now."
Ji Qingnian obviously asked about the maid’s sadness. When the latter heard this, her bright eyes instantly dimmed. She lowered her head and was silent for a while, then she said lightly: "I have no family. I became orphans when I was very young and wandered on the streets of Qingshan Town. Until one day I was taken in by Lord Murong, and I have been living in the yamen since then."
Ji Qingnian nodded and signaled that she knew. Then she thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled at the maid in front of her and said, "I have just taken office, and I still lack a personal maid. You are still young and doing the rough work in the house is not good for your body. Why not be by my side in the future? I will definitely not treat you badly."
When Lu Rou heard this, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Ji Qingnian with an incredible face. She thought she had heard it wrong.
When Ji Qingnian saw the latter's stupid look, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you want me to repeat it again? There is a personal maid next to me. If you don't dislike me, just follow me and organize the room for me every day."
After receiving Ji Qingnian's affirmative reply, Lu Rou nodded nodded like a garlic and whispered: "As long as the lord doesn't dislike you, I will follow you in the future, serve your daily life, and serve you in front of you."
Ji Qingnian smiled and waved her hand. Then she looked at the maid in front of her and said seriously: "Lu Rou, if you want to live more freely and dignified, then don't learn to be as servile as other servants, and try to learn a skill. When there is a place to be used, no one will look down on you anymore."
When Lu Rou heard this, she blinked her eyes and asked in a comprehensible manner: "But sir, I don't have anything good at."
Ji Qingnian smiled slightly, reached out to touch the latter's head, and whispered: "There must be something, but you just need to calm down and search and discover."
Lu Rou couldn't understand the meaning and had to keep her doubts in her heart. She took the initiative to reach out and support Ji Qingnian's arm and said softly: "Sir, I will help you back to the room first."
Ji Qingnian did not refuse when she heard this. She nodded, then pulled her arm out of Lu Rou's hand, and said with a chuckle: "I am not as old as Mr. Murong, I can't walk anymore. I am good at it now and can walk by myself."
Lu Rou nodded when she heard this, then quietly followed Ji Qingnian. The two walked towards the house in the east one after another. Many maids in the yamen along the way were staring at Ji Qingnian and Lu Rou, and their faces showed unconcealed envy.
Almost everyone knows one thing clearly, that is, as long as they can please Ji Qingnian and work with her, their days will definitely be very comfortable in the future. Now the maids saw that the youngest Lu Rou was following Ji Qingnian, and naturally had some speculation in their hearts. Then they became jealous and wanted to rush over and kick Lu Rou away, and then replace him.
However, these thoughts can only pass by in my heart. No one dares to really do this. Although Ji Qingnian is not as majestic as the old county magistrate, after all, the person who is placing her with the importance of her identity is now the manager of the entire Qingshan Town. What she said alone in the yamen was the Iron Order.
After about a cup of tea, Lu Rou finally brought Ji Qingnian to the house.
Lu Rou pointed to the quiet courtyard in front and said to Ji Qing young: "Sir, this whole courtyard is your residence. The maids in the mansion have already cleaned up your room for you, and you can move in at any time."
After saying that, Lu Rou's eyes turned, she thought about it and continued, "Of course, if you don't like the environment here, just tell me to ask me to have another yard for you."
Hearing Lu Rou's words, Ji Qingnian shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I am not a princess, and I am not a lady from a wealthy family. There are so many things to pay attention to when living in a room. As long as it is clean and tidy, it is the same wherever I live. This courtyard looks quiet, so there is no need to worry about changing it."
After saying that, Ji Qingnian took the lead in walking towards the courtyard. Seeing this, Lu Rou quickly trotted and followed him, serving Ji Qingnian without leaving any steps.
Ji Qingnian ignored Lu Rou, but looked up at the courtyard. Wherever he saw, a simple bluestone path extended along the entrance of the courtyard to the front of the house. Sycamore trees were planted around the courtyard. Although they had not yet grown up, they had already begun to have momentum.
In addition, Ji Qingnian looked around and saw that the windows of the house were bright and clean, and there were not even a piece of snowflakes or fallen leaves on the eaves. It was obvious that they had been carefully cleaned by a special person.
"It's been a long time since I cleaned up here."
Ji Qingnian looked at the house in front of her and asked softly.
Lu Rou was stunned when she heard this, then nodded and replied in a low voice: "A few days before you took office, the master sent someone to clean up the place carefully, not only cleaned the snow on the eaves, but also pulled out all the weeds growing in the courtyard."
"It's just a residence, why mobilize so many people?"
Ji Qing sighed young, then raised her foot and walked towards the house. When she got closer, she stretched out her palm and pushed the door open, then stepped in.
Like the courtyard, the room was also neatly tidy, with no wrinkles on the quilt on the bed, and the ground was as smooth as if it had been licked with a tongue. Ji Qingnian roughly glanced at the room, and then raised his foot and walked towards the red sandalwood table placed in the corner.
There were pen, paper, inkstone and ink on the rosewood table. In addition, there was a row of antique medical books. Ji Qingnian reached out to pick up one of them and found that it was an almost extinct book. She took a deep breath and her white face turned red in an instant.
