I, the treacherous official of destiny, contradict the empress at the beginning!

Chapter 13

The Prime Minister's Mansion is not big.

It was originally the residence of a wealthy merchant and gentry, but the prime minister took a fancy to it and bought it.

The layout of the mansion is also very simple.

Pavilions, pavilions, eaves and green tiles.

Exquisite and elegant, yet majestic.

Wang Youwei's guest room is located in the southeast corner.

Next to the lotus pond, the wind carries fragrance.

There are also lush green bamboos and pines planted around the area.

Papaya took her for a stroll through the lotus pond, through the small corridor at the second door, and onto the Chaoshou Veranda.

My eyes suddenly become enlightened!

There are carved beams and painted buildings and rare and exotic plants everywhere.

There is also a Qushui creek that meanders under the corridor.

From among the flowers and trees, it flows into a small pond surrounded by strange rocks.

Wang Youwei looked so mesmerized and felt like she was in a fairyland.

I almost forgot what I came to do!

If Prime Minister Lin was not a traitor, she would really want to live here for the rest of her life.

Less than half an hour later.

The two wandered around and visited the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.

Wang Youwei was slightly surprised.

Prime Minister Lin has the power to dominate the government and the opposition, and has sole control of the government. He should not be short of money, right?

Why is the mansion so small?

It had only been half an hour, and we were done shopping.

Maid Papaya guessed her thoughts and explained:

"Although the prime minister is rich, he never squanders it, and he always keeps simple things in food, clothing, housing and transportation."

"oh?"

Wang Youwei asked in disbelief:

"So, the prime minister still has the virtue of diligence and frugality?"

Papaya nodded as expected.

Wang Youwei didn't believe it at all.

She thought to herself that Lin Xiang, a traitor, was really thoughtful.

He deliberately refused to live in a big mansion to block other people's talk.

How ridiculous!

He deceived the emperor and whipped the empress.

How can a mansion be blocked?

Just as he was thinking about it,

Papaya suddenly said seriously:

"Miss, everyone in the world says that the Prime Minister is slanderous, tyrannical, and oppressive. That’s because they don’t understand the Prime Minister at all."

"I remember when I first entered the Prime Minister's Office"

"The prime minister had not finished his lunch, so I wanted to take it out and throw it away, but the prime minister stopped him."

"He told me"

"A porridge and a meal, when you think about the difficulty of getting there, half a thread, half a thread, always thinking about the difficulty of material resources"

"Immediately exchange for housekeepers and servants to enjoy together"

"The slave girl is not knowledgeable, but she also thinks this sentence makes sense."

Wang Youwei was very surprised and asked:

"Is this really what the prime minister said?"

"It is indeed what the prime minister said. I dare not lie to you."

Papaya's attitude is sincere.

Wang Youwei looked at her expression carefully, and it really didn't look like a lie.

But why is it so hard to believe these words coming from Prime Minister Lin's mouth?

After thinking about it ,

Wang Youwei felt relieved.

It's just pretentious.

I guess. She knew she had a bad reputation and did it deliberately to gain a good reputation. Either Lin Xiangjiao said it or they were all deceived. And if you look at it from another perspective. This shows another problem. Lin Xiang is obviously not short of money, but the house is so small and the servants have to eat leftovers! Hmm, let me catch the details!

"Papaya, how much is your monthly salary?"

Wang Youwei suddenly asked for no reason.

If it is as she thought, Prime Minister Lin is a stingy miser.

Then the wages given to his servants must be very little!

So,

Prime Minister Lin is a good person, and you will know it as soon as you ask!

"The monthly salary of a slave is five taels of silver."

Papaya replied truthfully.

"Five taels?!!"

Wang Youwei was shocked!

Normally, a maid from an ordinary wealthy family earns less than one tael of silver per month.

Wang Youwei's own personal maid only earns two taels of silver per month.

Even a maid in the palace only earns three taels of silver per month.!

She is an ordinary maid in the prime minister's house, and she has not yet married, but she has five taels of silver per month!

How could the traitor be so generous?

Wang Youwei asked in disbelief:

"Five taels of silver per month, isn't there any deduction?"

"Withholding?"

Papaya shook his head and said slowly:

"No, not only is there no deduction, but there is also a monthly subsidy"

"There is a medical subsidy when you are sick, a maternity subsidy when you have a child, and a consolation subsidy when you get married......."

"besides"

"The maids also receive menstrual allowance every month"

"At the beginning of the month, I just received the twelve-month allowance. My family has already given me thousands of taels, and I can’t even spend all the money."

"The prime minister said that he will give me a monthly salary increase next month, which is really annoying."

Everyone who heard Wang Youwei was stunned.

She worked as a maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion for three years and saved thousands of taels of silver.

My dear Miss Sima only has eight taels of pocket money every month!

Her menstrual allowance is more than my pocket money.! or...

I turned around and asked Prime Minister Lin if he was still short of maids.

I also brought him tea and water.

This Miss Sima is inappropriate!

"Miss, Miss Wang, what's wrong with you?"

Papaya asked with concern after seeing Wang Youwei's uncertain expression.

"without......fine"

"I just didn't expect that a man as big as the Prime Minister would care so much for his servants, which was quite surprising."
