"It seems that the ten sticks that were used to hit Shen Yan were not heavy at all."

Sitting on the horse, Zhao Surui's tone was colder than the wind blowing in the wilderness.

Behind her, Peifeng, Tong Wu and others who had returned from Yanjing with him did not dare to say anything.

"Girl! You're finally back!" Someone had already reported the news, and Achi and his people hurriedly came out to greet her.

After glancing at Ah Chi, Zhao Surui continued to look not far away.

Shao Zhiqing was riding on a horse and was teaching Shen Yan how to get on the horse directly. Shen Yan was sitting on another horse, without even noticing that Zhao Surui was looking at them.

"Did you have fun in Yanjing, girl?"

"happy?"

Zhao Su Rui curled his lips and smiled, "I'm really happy."

Raising his hand, with the riding crop rolled in his palm, he pointed to where Shao Zhiqing was from a distance: "Who told them to move the horse when I wasn't here?"

Achi took one look at it and said with a smile: "The young master is bored in the village. Master Shao said that he was too weak, so he simply taught him to ride a horse..."

Realizing that something was wrong with his girl's expression, the smile on Achi's face gradually faded.

"Girl? But what happened?"

Zhao Surui glanced at the sky: "It should be training time, right?"

Achi smiled apologetically: "Yesterday, the young master came out and saw the farmers practicing. He said that the farmers were working hard, so he let them idle for two days. Master Shao agreed."

"He agreed?"

Zhao Surui looked around and saw two people practicing with wooden sticks on the school field outside Zhuangzi.

"Pei Feng, do you know those two people?"

Peifeng stepped forward and said, "Girl, those two people are Tong Jiu and Zhang Tongqian. Tong Jiu is Tong Wu's younger brother, and Zhang Tongqian is a servant in Zhuangzi."

"Those two people will get a first-class commission from today, and they will get an extra half a pound of money every month from now on, just like Tong Wu and the others."

Before he finished speaking, someone behind him knelt on the ground with a pop: "Ms. Shen! I, I kowtow to Mrs. Shen on behalf of my brother!"

The speaker was Tong Jiu's brother Tong Wu. He was one of the masters Zhao Surui brought to Yanjing City. Because he had won the first place in competitions for more than ten days in a row, Peifeng was usually very satisfied with his abilities. , this time Zhao Surui took him out and found that he was also smart, obedient and helpful, and he also valued him very much.

"You two brothers, one is smart and the other is honest, but you are both loyal. Since being loyal has the advantage of being loyal."

After saying that, Zhao Surui casually picked up a newly bought gold wrench from his hand and threw it on the ground:

"Don't you have a daughter who is seven or eight years old? This is a reward for her. Bring her in tomorrow for me to see. She can also learn some skills from the maids around me."

Tong Wu is a smart man, otherwise he would not have caught "Ms. Shen" when he went to Yanjing City to beg for real estate. When he heard that "Ms. Shen" promised a future for his daughter, he fell down He picked up the ring on the ground and hid it in his pocket:

"Thank you, Madam Shen! Madam Shen, don't worry! We, the Tong family, are all sincere and sincere. From now on, we will all be sure of Madam Shen, and we will not listen to a word of what others say! We are definitely not the one who uses Madam Shen's benefits to You are a black-hearted person trying to show off to others!"

Black-hearted?

Zhao Surui raised his chin: "Achi, the maids in Zhuangzi also have a rest today?"

Achi was not stupid. At this time, he also felt the smell. His shoulders tensed into a line and he carefully replied: "Little... Mr. Shen also said to let the maids have a rest, but Tunan said that the maids should have a rest." If we practice for a day, we can eat a day's worth of meat. If we don't practice, there will be no meat to eat, so no one stops to rest. They are still practicing in the village at this time."

"Then go directly back to Zhuangzi."

Lifting the reins and turning the horse's head, Zhao Surui galloped straight towards the gate of Zhuangzi, raising dust and smoke along with the people, horses and carts.

Shen Yan, who was surrounded by everyone, turned around and saw this scene, feeling a little happy and a little scared:

"Eldest sister is back, Master Shao, let's go back quickly."

Shao Zhiqing looked up and said with a smile: "Young master, don't worry, Mrs. Shen is the most kind-hearted woman. She was cruel to you before because she was afraid that you would learn bad things when you were old enough."

"I know." Shen Yan said with a smile, "I have to study literature and martial arts well in the future and be my big sister's support. I can't do stupid things anymore."

The main gate of Zhuangzi opened, and Zhao Surui rode directly into the second gate. As expected, he saw Tunan leading a group of maids and women from Zhuangzi practicing. He raised his eyebrows, but the anger in his heart did not subside...

"Tu Nan, what are these maids eating for lunch today?"

"Girl, they practiced for an hour today. For lunch, they had three taels of pork per person and a side of braised cabbage."

Zhao Surui got off his horse and looked carefully at the maids who were taking steps with guns in hand.

When Shoucheng Houfu came over, he did think about training these maids to become female soldiers, but he just thought about it. He still preferred to watch the men outside than the embroidered legs of these maids. He was beaten and beaten, but at this time, he was slapped firmly in the face.

He likes men, and coincidentally, men also like men.

Only he is a woman now!

“How much meat do men outside eat in a day?”

"Girl, they practice for two hours a day and give each person half a catty of pork or five taels of mutton.*"

Zhao Surui sneered:

"In this case, there is no training outside today, and there is no need to give any meat. Tunan, except for Tong Jiu and Zhang Copper Coin, you share the meat of those outside with these girls and the people I brought back. From now on, those outside will Men are given four ounces of meat for one hour of training, and the same goes for these maids. If they are willing to practice for two hours a day, each of them will receive half a catty of pork or five ounces of mutton per day."

Tunan, who was wearing an ordinary short coat and carrying a sword at his waist, nodded in agreement.

However, Zhao Surui still felt angry and angry.

"Now divide the meat immediately, give each person a big bowl, and take it to the school grounds outside to eat."

The maids still had happy expressions on their faces, but they were also a little confused and frightened, but they heard "Young Madam" yell loudly:

"Go quickly!"

"yes!"

Achi was frightened by his girl's anger. She approached carefully and said in a slow voice:

"Girl, if something doesn't go your way, just tell us, but don't get angry."

Zhao Surui turned his head to look at her, raised his brows slightly, and actually had a smile on his face:

"Say? What did you say? Let me ask you, how did Shen Yan get out of the side courtyard? How did he hook up with Shao Zhiqing? How many days have they been hooking up? Do you know what he said and did? I will I leave the inner court to you and this is how you manage it?!

"You must know that Shao Zhiqing also has a daughter in Ning'an Bo's house. I have always only allowed him to teach martial arts without giving him a title because he is not one of ours. If he has a different intention, I will instigate him. Shen Yan returned to Yanjing and took the opportunity to kidnap Shen Yan and take him back to the Ning'an residence to ask me to hand over Xie Fengan. How do you want me to respond? Huh?

"I handed over this Zhuangzi to you, and this is how you manage it? You dare not refute what Shen Yan said if Shao Zhiqing dared to accept him? Then why did Tunan dare to refute what he said? In your heart, is it just someone with the surname Shen? Is he your master? Since you like being a slave so much, you don’t have to serve me. There are two people named Shen in the Fusi Prison in Beizhen, Yanjing City. Isn’t it just right for me to send you to serve them? "

A few heart-wrenching words were thrown down firmly, and Achi was stunned. She quickly knelt down, but only saw the back of her girl fluttering her sleeves and getting on the horse.

Peifeng glanced at her and shook his head gently at her, obviously disapproving of her taking Shen Yan so seriously.

Zhao Surui was still wearing a men's robe, and still had the silver rat cloak outside. As he rode a maroon horse out of the courtyard, he heard a burst of noise.

"It's the young master's wish to let us rest today. Why don't you give us meat to eat?"

"That's right! We practice a lot every day, why are we being deducted for no reason?"

"Young Master! These maids actually have meat to eat, but we people don't. Young Master, you have to make the decision for us!"

Shen Yan stood on the school ground surrounded by people and couldn't walk. He couldn't figure out what was going on. He looked at Shao Zhiqing for help, but saw that Shao Zhiqing was also at a loss.

"You let him make the decision for you? You are really kneeling to the wrong Bodhisattva and praying to the wrong Buddha."

"Da da."

Horse hooves stepped on the road next to the school ground. Zhao Surui, dressed in fine clothes, looked down at the men.

"Since your young master agreed, just ask for the meat from your young master. I have told you before that if you eat my meat, you must listen to my words, and if you take my money, you must work hard for me. , since you have all forgotten, I naturally want to remind you."

A group of men looked up at "Ms. Shen" and opened their mouths, but they didn't know what to say.

Peifeng, together with Tong Wu and others, had already guarded his girl closely. Tunan, who was dividing the meat, had one hand on the hilt of the sword and never let go.

Looking around, Zhao Surui had a smile on his face. Only one of his eyes was filled with the cold frost. Facing hundreds of pairs of eyes, he did not have the slightest fear in his heart:

"Shao Zhiqing."

Shao Zhiqing hurriedly stepped forward: "Ms. Shen, the young master just doesn't have much experience in the world..."

In his eyes, the woman dressed in men's clothing smiled and asked, "Who do you call young master?"

The tall man immediately shut his mouth.

"Sister, just blame me for this. I broke the rules." Shen Yan looked at Ai Ai, still feeling timid in his heart, "I will definitely not do it next time!"

"There's nothing wrong with you." Looking down at him, Zhao Surui said with a smile, "You just came to your cousin's house as a guest, and I invited you here, how could there be anything wrong?"

Hearing such comforting words, Shen Yan should feel relieved in his heart, but the more his eldest sister acted like this, Shen Yan's heart couldn't let go.

At this time, Zhao Surui had sat up straight again:

"I have only been away from the village for two days, but you people only focused on accompanying my guests and slacked off in training. Since it is your first offense, I just deducted your meat for the past two days. If there is another time, you will be slacking off. Each of them will be given ten sticks, and they will be driven out and never used again."

As soon as they heard that they would be kicked out, the men who were angry for a few pieces of meat gradually calmed down.

At this time, the eyes they looked at Shao Zhiqing had become angry.

"Ms. Shen, we didn't want to slack off at first. It was Master Shao who told us not to practice anymore."

"Yes! That's what Master Shao said. We want to practice the most. We can exercise our bodies and eat meat. No one else can ask for such good things!"

"Ms. Shen, please don't blame us. We will definitely practice well in the future."

Shao Zhiqing couldn't figure out how he could become the target of public criticism. He frowned and said repeatedly:
