Finest Servant

The two walked all the way, but Lin Wanrong didn't speak. Young Master Biao didn't dare to speak when he saw Lin San's brows furrowed.

When he returned to his hut, Lin Wanrong didn't even bother to wipe his face, and lay on the bed with his back straight, feeling that something was stuck in his heart, which made him very uncomfortable. Today, he scolded and scolded well, and beat him well, but other than that, he couldn't find any place to comfort himself. Damn, does Lao Tzu think of himself too noble? He smiled bitterly and mocked himself.

He fumbled around in his arms for a while, then took out the double burst musket that Xiao Qingxuan had given him. This Westerner's musket is extremely exquisite in craftsmanship. The one that Xiao Qingxuan gave him is even more of a fine product. It is rare in the European royal family. With Dahua's current craftsmanship, it is very difficult to create a red-clothed cannon. Not to mention the gun. And looking at the surprised look of the little prince Zhao Kangning, he should have never seen a musket. Could it be that Qingxuan's identity is more noble than Zhao Kangning?

He pondered silently in his heart for a while, then played with the musket again. He used this musket for the first time today, and he almost made a fool of himself. He had no confidence in his marksmanship and was worried that he would not be able to shoot correctly, so he deliberately fired two shots in a row. The recoil of this musket is strong, the first shot hits, but the second shot misses, it really makes him ashamed. However, after seeing the power of the musket, he became more confident. No matter what kind of bullshit he encountered, all of them were low-handed before this musket.

Qingxuan is very kind to me. Lin Wanrong only knew Xiao Qingxuan's good intentions. With this gun in hand, he is not afraid of anyone. He sighed slightly in his heart, thinking of the days he spent with Qingxuan, although the time was short, the impression was very deep, and he didn't know when he would be able to see her again.

He didn't know what was wrong today, he thought about it for a while, his mood was very low, and he fell asleep unconsciously in bed.

I don't know how much time has passed when there was a light knock on the door, Lin Wanrong opened his eyes and saw that it was already dark.

Lin Wanrong shook his head and smiled bitterly. How could Lao Tzu become able to sleep like a pig? He opened the door, and a soft female voice came from outside the door: "Why don't you hold the lamp?"

"Because the dark night is the most suitable for thinking." Lin Wanrong said with a grin, dodging and welcoming the eldest lady into the room.

"Poor mouth!" Xiao Yuruo glanced at him, then turned around to find a fire sickle, and lightly lit the oil lamp in the room, the dim yellow oil lamp reflected a faint brilliance on her beautiful face and Yinna's body, charming and charming. moving.

Lin Wanrong was stunned for a while, and said with a smile, "Miss, why are you here?"

Xiao Yuruo didn't speak, but when she saw the black marks on his hands and face, she frowned and said, "Why don't you wash your face? It's dusty and ugly.

"

Lin Wanrong shook his head and smiled: "I'm tired, I don't even want to move."

"What are you tired of, I think you will be lazy and make excuses." The eldest lady gave him a blank look, stood up, walked a few steps with Nana, and went outside the room to fetch a hot towel for him, and said softly: "You Scrub now."

Lin Wanrong took the towel and wiped it at random, and said with a smile, "It's hard for the eldest lady to bring tea and water in person, Lin San is very grateful."

The eldest lady glanced at him and snorted: "You like to make a fool of yourself all day long, in front of me, and in front of others. You offended Mr. Mei Yanqiu again today. You don't know how much influence she has in Beijing. Now It's good, before we went to the capital, we got into a big man."

Lin Wanrong glanced at her and said, "You already know?"

The eldest lady nodded: "Cousin came back and told me what happened. Then the little prince didn't say anything. He had never been kind to my Xiao family. It's not the first time you've embarrassed him. Yan Qiu's disciples are all powerful people in the capital. If you offend her, we will definitely have trouble in Beijing after the new year. Speaking of which, it's all the fault of Luo Ning's girl—— "

Lin Wanrong smiled helplessly and said, "What's wrong with Miss Guan Luo?"

The eldest hummed: "If she hadn't invited you, this would not have happened. I think you were fascinated by her, and you coaxed me yesterday that she wouldn't go."

Khan, did I coax you, obviously you didn't understand what I said. Lin Wanrong shook his head and said: "This has nothing to do with Miss Luo. With my character, as long as I meet this surnamed Mei, I will come here sooner or later."

The eldest lady knew that what he said was true, and sighed lightly: "For those of us who are engaged in business, in the eyes of those old masters, our status is not as good as that of farmers. This is not a matter of one family or two, it is the atmosphere of the entire Dahua Dynasty, not by you. You can change it with a sentence or two. You are such a clever person in ordinary times, how can you be so disgusted when you encounter this matter."

Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "I see injustice and everyone stepping on the road, and I feel uneasy if I don't do this."

The eldest lady said faintly: "I have been doing business with my mother since I was thirteen or fourteen years old, and I will not talk about my status as a business person. I am an orphan and widowed mother. I am running around, and I have been bullied by others. I don't know, if we were all like you, how could we live to this day."

The eldest miss remembered the misery of the past, with tears in her eyes, and said softly: "You, can't you learn to endure it? Even if you step on the injustice, what can you do? Did you win this battle? It's very happy, but it also ruins your own interest. Looking at the way you are now, you are very depressed. You don't look like Lin San before? Just tell me, melancholy is a day, happiness is a day, people have to learn to enjoy it. You persuaded me, why did you fall in again? "

Lin Wanrong's heart was warmed by what Eldest Miss said, he glanced at Xiao Yuruo and said, "Eldest Miss, I thought you were here to blame me, but I thought you were here to comfort me, I was moved to the point of crying. ."

Xiao Yuruo blushed and said stubbornly, "What are you grateful for? I'm here to blame you. I'll see if you dare to offend people casually in the future."

The eldest lady is hard-hearted and soft-hearted. Lin Wanrong can see it clearly, and she is moved in her heart. She nodded and said, "Miss, don't worry, that person surnamed Mei is unkind and will be punished by heaven. After all, even if she has many wealthy children, we may not be the same. What kind of soft persimmon." He said this, but inexplicably remembered the old man in Chinese clothing that he met outside Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou that day. Of course, the closest one is the current number one who is hiding somewhere in Jinling. People are Xu Wei. With old man Xu and his current friendship, anyone who wants to move Lin San or the Xiao family must think carefully.

"Lin San, my Xiao family has no way out now. You have offended so many people, and others will put the blame on us. You can't let it go, and the people are not allowed to leave us in the future. Otherwise, I will turn into a ghost. I won't forgive you." The eldest said softly.

Khan, this, without me, you would have turned into a ghost long ago. Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly: "Miss, it's not as serious as you said. The only one-year contract I signed with you is, you can't rely on me for the rest of your life."

"Who will depend on you for the rest of your life—" The eldest spit softly: "You have caused all the good and bad things in my family. If you don't solve it, you are not allowed to go anywhere. If you want the contract, I will give it to you. Signing for ten years, a hundred years is good."

It turned out to be trying to deceive me to renew the contract. This chick is domineering and cunning. Lin Wanrong smiled and changed the subject: "Miss, how is the integration of Tao's shop?"

The eldest lady nodded and said, "After discussing with the stewards, everything is going according to plan. If you are lazy today, you are not allowed to run away tomorrow, otherwise I will deduct your salary." Speaking of deducting salary, even she herself couldn't bear it. He covered his mouth and snickered.

Speaking of salary, Lin Wanrong suddenly remembered and shouted: "Miss, my perfume should also have a share."

The eldest lady smiled and said, "Don't worry, we can't be without you. This month, our perfume net profit is around 30,000 taels, and half of yours is 15,000 taels."

"Talking is better than nothing—Miss, are you making fake accounts?"

"You're a bad guy—" The eldest snorted angrily, and with a flick of her sleeves, she accidentally lifted the oil lamp on the table to the ground, with a soft snap, and the oil lamp slammed a few times. It was completely extinguished, and the room was suddenly pitch black.

The eldest lady screamed, and the sudden darkness made her feel at a loss.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Lin Wanrong gently pulled her and said, "There is me."

In the dark, the eldest lady hasn't spoken for a long time. Lin Wanrong heard her gasping voice and seemed to be a little strange. When she looked back, she saw that she was looking at herself, and there were water droplets in her eyes.

Lin Wanrong was puzzled and hurriedly said softly, "Miss, are you alright?"

The eldest lady shook her head and smiled and said, "What could be wrong, I'm already used to it if I haven't been popular with your bad guy a few times."

Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "I'm familiar with you, so I only talk like this. I don't even care if others want me to make a joke."

"Lin San, you can rest. I'll come to you tomorrow morning, you can't be lazy." The eldest lady turned her head and walked out as soon as she opened the door. Lin Wanrong was in doubt when she saw the eldest lady turning back and saying, "I almost forgot, this is a letter sent to the mansion at noon, saying it is for you."

She took out an envelope from her arms and handed it to Lin Wanrong. Lin Wanrong said somewhat surprised: "Who wrote the letter to me? I don't have many friends in Jinling."

The eldest lady said: "You will know if you see it yourself."

The room was too dark, Lin Wanrong finally fumbled to light the oil lamp, and then stayed outside to see that the eldest lady had disappeared without a trace.

He took out the letterhead from the envelope, but it was a small piece of white paper with two lines of small characters written in small capital letters: "Thank you for your honesty, and you should repay it with a grass knot."
