Chapter 276 The Princess Has a Bad Temper (14)
Qing'er, Zhiyao, and Yongji looked left and right, and each one seemed good, so they couldn't make up their minds and didn't know which one to choose.
Wangyou wasn't in a hurry. She had a table and chairs brought over, and sat down to eat snacks and drink tea, feeling quite at ease.
Yongji ran around looking at all two hundred-plus people, pondering what kind of people to choose. His older sister had taught him how to select people, and what kind of people would be most beneficial to him.
"Sister Wangyou, can you help me choose? I don't know what kind of person to choose." After looking for a long time, Qing'er decided to ask Wangyou for help.
"Sister Qing'er, won't you take another look?"
"No, no, I'm fine with choosing maids, but I'm really not cut out for bodyguards," Qing'er said softly.
"Sixth Sister, help me choose one too. My eyes are getting tired from looking at them all. I promise I'll be a good teacher when we get back." Zhiyao also returned.
"Alright!" Wangyou finished the snack in her hand. "Since you two only have one personal maid, we will select three female bodyguards to take care of your daily life. There are many dirty things and other matters in wealthy families, so we will select one female bodyguard who knows medicine, one who knows how to manage the household and accounts, and one who knows how to manage internal affairs."
"That's the choice, I'll do as you say!"
"Select three more male bodyguards to gather intelligence and protect your safety. Choose the most capable fighters possible. Any questions?"
"No, no, this is perfect!"
"Okay, then I'll choose. Or you can wait until Yongji finishes choosing before you choose." Wangyou looked up and saw Yongji sitting on a chair, picking out people who were good at something.
"Okay, let's wait until Yongji's brother finishes choosing before we choose."
Although Yongji also wanted Wangyou to help him choose, he was also very clear that Wangyou would not help him with this. Therefore, he chose very carefully and seriously, and he used all the skills that Wangyou had taught him.
This scene made Zhiyao and Qing'er blush a little. They thought to themselves that they should learn a few tricks when they got back, otherwise it would be too embarrassing if they couldn't even compare to their seven-year-old brother.
Yongji was quick; based on his current and future needs, he selected a number of bodyguards who caught his eye—a total of eight male and four female bodyguards.
"Sister, I've made my choice!" Yongji said, looking for praise.
"Great job, Sister taught me well. Jinming, cross all the names of these guards off the register!"
Afterwards, Wangyou got up and walked around the circle of guards, and then quickly picked out twelve people, six men and six women, and then divided them equally between Zhiyao and Qing'er.
After choosing their partners, the group didn't linger and quickly left.
“From now on, they are yours, and have nothing to do with me anymore. The indentures are all here; keep them yourselves. Whether you let them live in the shadows or bring them into the open is up to you.” Wangyou smiled as she handed the indentures to the three of them.
On the way back, Wangyou arranged four carriages so that they could get acquainted with her guards, while Wangyou rode in a carriage by herself.
By the time they returned to the Temple of the Matchmaker, they had become quite familiar with the place. Since the matchmakers were still on their patrol, it was inconvenient for them to appear all at once, so they decided to stay in the shadows for the time being to protect their respective masters.
When Wangyou and her companions entered the Temple of the Old Man Under the Moon, they saw a little swallow hanging a red ribbon on the marriage tree.
"What is Sister Little Swallow doing?" Yongji was very puzzled. Why tie so many red ribbons?
"She's probably worried about something!" Wangyou had excellent hearing and heard Xiaoyanzi tying a large bundle of red ribbons for everyone. Her name was even on the ribbons, and she had even tied ten ribbons for her.
Wangyou thought that she didn't have much interaction with the main characters, yet Xiaoyanzi was so enthusiastic about asking her to find a husband. Not only her, but Zhiyao and Qing'er also had their own marriage prospects.
"Who is she praying for marriage with all those people?" Zhiyao was also very puzzled.
"She's praying for marriage for all of us single men and women, tying ten red ribbons on each of us." Wangyou suddenly felt a sense of despair.
"What? Ten!" Zhiyao's shocked voice was a little louder.
The little swallow with the red ribbon tied to the tree heard the sound, slipped, and fell straight down from the tree.
Suddenly, a red ribbon appeared in Wangyou's hand, wrapped around Xiaoyanzi's waist, and rescued her.
"Fifth Miss, Sixth Miss, Twelfth Young Master, Qing'er, you're back." Little Swallow was just talking about them when they suddenly appeared, and she suddenly felt guilty.
"What are you doing climbing a tree in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? Who are you tying a red ribbon for?" Wangyou asked with a smile.
"I tied several for all of us. I thought the Old Man Under the Moon was so busy that he might not see one, so I tied several for everyone. That way, he can see them, and we will all have a good marriage." Little Swallow is the kind of person who gets excited when given a little encouragement. She found that Forget-Me-Not wasn't as scary as she had imagined, and before she knew it, she had said too much.
"Little Swallow, thank you so much!" Wangyou said helplessly. She never believed in these things, but Little Swallow really didn't have any bad intentions, so Wangyou didn't bother to ask any further.
"Alright, it's getting late. Let's go back and rest. Don't do anything stupid anymore." Wangyou decided to go back to sleep.
"Yes, I will obey Miss Six's orders." Xiao Yanzi raised her hand and clasped her hands in a fist salute, and a jade pendant fell out.
"Where did you get this jade pendant?" Wangyou asked, grabbing the half of the jade pendant.
"We saw this on the roadside when we went to Yue Lao Town in the evening. I thought it was pretty, so I bought it. What's wrong? Do you recognize it?" Xiao Yanzi was a little frightened because Wang You's expression was indeed not good.
"Can I trade this jade pendant for this jade pendant?" Wangyou asked, taking out a piece of imperial green jade pendant.
"This is too precious. If you like it, I'll give it to you. It's not worth much." Xiao Yanzi had learned a lot in the palace, and she knew she couldn't afford this imperial green jade even if she sold it to someone else.
"Take it if I give it to you!" Wangyou took the half of the jade pendant, then stuffed the imperial green jade pendant into Xiaoyanzi's arms, and left without looking back.
“This, Fifth Miss.” Little Swallow held the jade pendant, somewhat at a loss.
"Take what Wangyou gave you and go back quickly!" Zhiyao noticed that Wangyou's expression was not right, so she tried to comfort Xiaoyanzi and then hurriedly chased after her.
"Little Swallow, what are you doing here?" Yongqi wanted to tie a red ribbon in the middle of the night, and when he saw Little Swallow standing there blankly, he couldn't help but hide the red ribbon and say.
"I just ran into the Fifth Miss, the Sixth Miss, and the Twelfth Young Master, and then the Sixth Miss gave me this," Little Swallow said incoherently, holding up the imperial green jade pendant.
Yongqi glanced at the jade pendant and immediately recognized it as a gift from their father, the Emperor, on the day Wangyou and Zhiyao turned 100. Wangyou had been wearing it all these years, and in a way, the jade pendant represented Wangyou. It seems that the half-piece of jade that Xiaoyanzi bought on a whim today has a story behind it.
"Sixth Sister gave it to you, so take it. It's something Sixth Sister keeps close at hand. If you take it with you when you go out, no one will dare to bully you." Yongqi knew a little about Wangyou's affairs. With this jade pendant, it meant that Xiaoyanzi had been accepted by Sixth Sister. So if he told his mother about his relationship with Xiaoyanzi, his mother probably wouldn't object too much.
