Otomo Shiori and Serena were taken to the new house of Xu Bai's family, but the treatment was very different.

One is a guest who serves delicious food and scenery every day, while the other is a prisoner who is also a person who serves him, but he is a fully armed Jinyiwei.

With Lin Qijun accompanying Otoshi Shiori, Xu Bai doesn't have to worry about it, but he really cared about Serena.

However, how to conquer this woman and make this woman willingly serve him is not an easy task.

Xu Bai has always believed that the same will be different for non-my race. This woman came to the Ming Dynasty from thousands of miles away, and she definitely did not come to selflessly contribute to the people of the Ming Dynasty. Since the lies of this woman were confirmed and exposed, he could not even believe the woman's words. He probably didn't believe in anything about the marriage contract and ran away from home, or something like that. However, he felt that this matter might be a bit convincing.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain that this woman was running towards the East with no support at all. Even if she was playing for life, she would not have such a way of playing.

Serena was taken into Xu Bai's new house and was strictly guarded. However, her subordinates had no good luck. Anyway, there was still a place in the farm where the White Lotus Cultists were imprisoned outside the city. It was okay to stuff a few strange people in. It was also considered waste utilization. Renovate labor and let them make some contribution to the Ming Dynasty!

The old missionary named Mu Tianyan was considered to be benefiting from Serena and entered this new house. Now, the communication between Xu Bai and Serena can only be relied on him. However, this old missionary is not only unresisting in such an arrangement, but it is a bit willing to accept it. Whether Xu Bai asked him to teach Serena's Ming words or the Jinyiwei interrogated Serena for an hour every day, he would complete his tasks on time and meticulously.

This diligence and obedience made Xu Bai want to keep this guy by his side for a long time.

The fangshop also sent some young men and women to Baili Susu's request every day for Baili Susu to choose. Baili Susu remembered Xu Bai's instructions. In addition to requiring that the contract of selling a body must be signed, he also chose some young men and women who are innocent and have a background check. Most of these young men and women have been trained by the fangshop and can be used after they are purchased, and there is no need to teach them how to do things. However, Baili Susu has a little more conscience in his heart. Since he is a person who wants to use a safe place, then she will not want any young men and women who have worked as servants in other families before.

In this way, as several groups of people came, left some, and left some, the huge house slowly began to become lively, no longer as cold as a military camp. In the new house, even if Wang Jinsong was well prepared, all kinds of things were not as good as the owner's purchase according to his wishes. Therefore, many people and objects could be seen every day, going in and out of this new house. In less than ten days, the house finally had a trace of fireworks and finally had a little "home" smell.

Xu Bai saw all this and let Baili Susu do it. As long as Baili Susu encounters a problem that cannot be solved, he will not reach out to help. He asked himself that his family business will grow bigger and bigger in the future. Baili Susu should also start to learn how to be a qualified mistress. This is Baili Susu's shortcomings, and she must make up for it.

Speaking of which, Lin Qijun is much more experienced than Baili Susu in this regard. Xu Bai didn't know before that it was not an easy thing to be a mistress of a wealthy family.

He had never understood before why the stories of sparrows turning into golden phoenixes often had no follow-up text after they turned into golden phoenixes, just as he could not understand before, why those wealthy families must pay attention to the right family, but instead they do not value the woman's figure and appearance so much.

Only after his position changed drastically did he vaguely get into this information. Those wealthy families pay attention to being a good match because whether they are doing business or being an official, there will be a huge family business waiting for the mistress who comes in to take care of. Being a wealthy family's mistress is far from enough to rely on a beautiful face.

These mistresses must be well-educated so that they can better communicate with their servants at home and make some helpful "handkerchief friends" for their husbands' careers outside the home. They must also know how to manage their money so that the family's finances will not become chaotic or even be profited by their servants. In addition, they also need to be tough and know how to advance and retreat. When they should respect their parents-in-law at home, they must abide by filial piety. The servants should reward their merits and punish them. If they are cowardly and slaves bully their masters, the final result will be that there will be a fire in the backyard and the family will be uneasy.

In short, being a qualified mistress is not much different from managing a yamen. These skills, knowledge, and even temperament patterns cannot be transformed overnight. These girls from wealthy families have been cultivated in this aspect since childhood. The expenses and energy resources in this aspect may not be something that ordinary people can afford.

Therefore, there are countless civilian women in this world who are concubines, but very few daughters of wealthy families go to be concubines.

No matter where Xu Bai is now and how powerful he is, in the eyes of others, he is afraid that he is still a nouveau riche who relies on the sudden rise of the prince. As for Baili Susu, let alone. To put it nicely, it is called Xiaojia Jade. To put it bluntly, isn’t it just the stupid wife of Xu Bai, the nouveau riche?

For example, if Xu Bai and Baili Susu get married and take Lin Qiyun as their concubine, with Baili Susu's character and means, even if Xu Bai spoiled her, she would not be long in the Xu family. She would be forced by Lin Qiyun to cry all day long and be depressed.

A girl like Lin Qijun, who has been trained since childhood, has too many methods and scheming to deal with a commoner girl like Baili Susu, who is like a blank paper. How to determine his authority in the back home is also a compulsory subject for girls from these girls from these big families.

In short, after Xu Bai realized this, he finally decided to let Baili Susu learn and do things at home. Even sometimes, Baili Susu makes some inappropriate decisions. As long as there is no big impact, he will unswervingly support the other party. At most, when the two of them were together in the middle of the night, he tactfully told Susu that what she did today was not very suitable. If she did it in another way, it would be even better.

He had an attitude in front of everyone: "In the Xu family, now it is Miss Baili, and then it is the wife. Her words are the words of his master Xu Bai. In this family, she can make decisions!"

Walking around the yard, watching the familiar or unfamiliar servants around me walk respectfully, or make a pot of good tea, call Guo Lin over, and listen to him talk about the ridiculous things he had eaten, drink and have fun all these years. Maybe an afternoon passed like this.

Sometimes, the person who chats with him becomes the old missionary Mu Tianyan. It is also very interesting to hear what he has never known about the distant Europe from the old missionary, especially since this old missionary has lived in the Ming Dynasty for many years, he would always make some small comparisons with his hometown with the Ming Dynasty. Such comparisons also made Xu Bai have a gradually clear outline against the distant Europe.

Chatting with these two people was a very pleasant thing. In Xu Bai's heart, he vaguely regarded this kind of chat as a kind of tutoring, making up for a course that he was difficult to access in this era, especially these two people were all seen outside the court. Perhaps compared to the things that came from their mouths by those who were arrogant, the things that came from their mouths were more real and more down-to-earth.

Of course, when chatting like this, they will report it as daily. It is like Otoshi Shiori and Lin Qijun are almost best friends now, and they wish they could eat and live together. Sometimes even the general translation of Guo Lin has to avoid suspicion.

Guo Lin had to complain a few words, but both girls were smart and had tried to add simple words to communicate by themselves. His general translation was anxious when he saw the two of them talking to each other, but he leaned over, but the two girls rushed to the side.

Xu Bai usually just smiles at such complaints. The better the relationship between Lin Qijun and Otoshi Shiori, the better it is to do what he wants to do. Unlike Serena, the Dutch woman, Otoshi Shiori is now Xu Bai's favorite golden lump, which is impossible to force the other party at all. If Lin Qijun can make the other party do things willingly, it will naturally be the best thing.

However, the news from Serena reported by the old missionary Mu Tianyan made Xu Bai feel a little confused.

Serena was taken to Xu's mansion within two days of happiness, and the change in treatment made her feel something. When the Jinyiwei's routine interrogation was conducted every day, she finally realized that the lies she had told were probably exposed.

At first, she was so sorry that she pretended to be pitiful for a few days, but after she found that it was useless to pretend to be pitiful, she began to become tough and said that she wanted to see the "Lord of the Ming Empire" here. This was her original words. As for the specific reasons, she refused to say it, saying that she would only say it after she met the "Lord of the Lord".

The Jinyiwei would not care about her like this? Whether she pretended to be pitiful or tough, she should be questioned every day, the guards who should be guarded should ignore them or ignore them. The old missionary Mu Tianyan became the only channel for Serena to convey information to the outside world. This was also the same as Mu Tianyan saw that Xu Bai was in a good mood today, and the two of them were happy to talk about the European experiences, so they took the courage to mention Serena.

"What benefits did she give you?" Xu Bai smiled: "Don't believe what this woman promises, you have seen her scheming methods throughout the whole process..."

"It's not a good thing!" Mu Tianyan said frankly: "If you send a message to the Lord, you can get her promise to God to swear to build a church for me in the Ming Dynasty. I think it's quite cost-effective!"

"Hahaha!" Xu Bai smiled. The promise said it was valuable, it was valuable, it was not valuable, nor was it valuable. However, Mu Tianyan was willing to believe it, so it would be up to him. After all, it should be a very serious matter in their religion to swear with the God he believed in!

"Tell me, what do you want to see me?" Xu Bai said: "If you talk nonsense again, tell her when you go back that her lunch will be gone!"

"I'm not sure if it's nonsense!" Mu Tianyan pondered for a moment: "She said she had a news about the Eastern pirate treasure, which he came for this. Now for freedom, she is willing to exchange news about this treasure with the adults!"

"Okay! Stop, stop..." Xu Bai laughed: "You can tell her that from tomorrow, the only thing she eats every day will be left with a bowl of porridge in the morning and two steamed buns in the evening. The meal at noon is gone!"

"Sir, I think she shouldn't lie about such an important thing..." Mu Tianyan hesitated for a moment: "If it was discovered by the adults, she wouldn't have thought of what would happen to her!"

"I never believe in treasures, treasure maps and other things!" Xu Bai smiled and shook his head: "That is, you Europa people, who think that there is such a thing, where is this good thing in the world? A huge wealth is written on a broken parchment paper, and then wait for the lucky one to discover it. If you believe in this, you must have gotten into the water!"

The more he thought about it, the more he became funny: "Besides, since she said it was an Eastern treasure, then there was no reason why we Eastern people themselves didn't know it. She, an Europa, who was thousands of miles away, knew it. This must be because a person with a bad mind, that would come up with such a statement!"

"She said that it was a treasure left by an Eastern pirate who was eliminated by Zheng He, the greatest navigator in the East!" Mu Tianyan said: "She also said that if the lord of the Ming Empire, he would definitely know the name of this great navigator and the pirate was eliminated!"

"Wait!" Xu Bai was stunned for a moment: "She was talking about Zheng He, the eunuch of Sanbao?"

"Well, it should be this name!" Mu Tianyan nodded: "Sir, I know this great navigator?"

Xu Bai's face became a little strange. Before he heard the name "Zheng He", he was absolutely sure that the treasures of the pirates that Serena said were all nonsense. However, after hearing this name, he was a little uncertain about his thoughts.

"Okay, I'm idle, too. For your sake, I'll go in front of you and listen to what she's going to say!"

He stood up and waved to Mu Tianyan: "I hope she can really say something that I am interested in, otherwise, let alone lunch, the breakfast and dinner will be gone. In the future, she will support herself, so she will go to the farm like her friends to work and support herself."
