There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea: 895|Eighty Dragon Scales (5)
The 80th Dragon Scale (5)
The two little ones hugged and cried together. Mother Xiao fell to the ground crying with blood all over her mouth. However, no one in the room sympathized with her. Even Mother Qiu and Chunhua, who had a habit of cheating and playing tricks, scolded the old man in their hearts. Immortal. What a great future to be able to become the most useful person by the master's side! This old immortal has got into the eyes of money. Being a slave doesn't look like a slave. How old are the young master and the small county owner, she will team up with others to calculate people, what a black heart !
The slave bullied the master. Xiao's mother relied on the dowry nurse of the late wife, and Wu An Gong was away all year round. When the late wife left, both children depended on her. Isn't she just calling for wind and rain? But this wealth is not enough, she also wants to have a mistress in the palace in the future, so that she can continue to live a good life.
Mother Qiu scolded Mama Xiao in her heart, but she was actually envious to death. Of course, this envy disappeared when she saw Mama Xiao's end, but this did not prevent her from going down with her master: "Master, look at this Mama Xiao. , She is just a slave, even if there is a little hoof surnamed Lu who conspired with her, and the one surnamed Lu is also living in the government's mansion, these two must be full of private pockets and swallow a lot of money from the mansion! The old slave thought, Severe punishment!"
I had snatched the keys and seals from Lu Fuling before, but Linglong flipped through the ledger and saw that she could see almost everything. There are a lot of shops in the public mansion, and there are five big shopkeepers in charge, but Duke Wu An is not in the capital all the year round, it is inevitable that some people's thoughts are fluctuating, and they are in harmony with the people in the public mansion. Otherwise, where would the family of Xiao's mother come from such good houses?
She came from a family, and it is said that the children born should also be slaves, but Xiao's mother's sons are eating and drinking outside, having three wives and four concubines. There must be Lu Fuling's handwriting here, but in order to contain Xiao's mother, Xiao's mother's betrayal contract is still in the government.
"It's done, it's better to hit the sun if you choose a day, and it's better to hit the sun today. Send someone to summon the shopkeepers." Linglong ordered, "By the way, why doesn't the government have a butler?"
A mother who served Lu Fuling before, but now she has bowed her head to Linglong respectfully replied: "Returning to the master, there are originally, but the housekeeper Xue served in the mansion since he was a child, but his temperament is too upright. , was not tolerated by Lu Fuling and Xiao's mother, so they found an excuse, saying that his hands and feet were not clean, so he drove him away, and now the old slave doesn't know where he is."
Linglong thought about it for a while, and then instructed her: "Look for it, if you can't find it, don't come back."
Even her orders are dead orders. What she orders must be done. If you can't do it, it is worthless. A servant who has no value is not qualified to survive. The girls have all been cleaned up, and the little grandpa and the little county owner are also obedient to the second wife. What can these slaves do? Naturally, he did everything the master ordered to be perfect, so after Da Linglong got married, the palace presented a thriving scene.
Although the servants of the government's government are obedient to Linglong, the shopkeepers outside who are responsible for managing the business for the government's government are not so honest.
There are five chain industries under the name of Gongfu: Qianzhuang, Buzhuang, Liangzhuang, Restaurant, and Yinlou. They have opened almost all over the country. If he is not there again, his heart will naturally be bigger. Even though Lu Fuling was the housekeeper, he was barely able to get the money in the house, but he didn't know anything about the business outside.
I heard that I will reward these shopkeepers every year as the master. Linglong wondered why people thought he was an idiot, and you still want to post it for me?
I don't have the ability to do anything.
It stands to reason that the five big shopkeepers are all in Beijing, even if they are in a diagonal line with the palace, they can get there on horseback for half an hour, but Linglong waited for an hour and no one was seen.
Everyone in the room didn't dare to take a breath, and Qiu's mother and Chunhua wished there was a crack in the ground, and it was better for them to crawl in than to face the master's anger!
The little county owner was also obediently sitting next to Linglong. After she hugged her brother and cried, she came back to stick to Linglong. Because the atmosphere in the room was too solemn, the little county owner didn't understand what happened, and could only instinctively feel the danger. And in such a danger, the only one who can bring her a sense of security is Linglong - even if this danger also arises from her.
The servant who went to call someone tremblingly told Linglong the evasive words of several big shopkeepers, knowing that he had done the errand badly, and the master would definitely punish him, and only hoped that he would be punished lightly.
The young master was also washed, changed, and sent out. He didn't dare to make a fuss as usual at this time. After all, the people who can condone his troubles, one has been sent away, and the other has also been dragged out.
Linglong didn't speak, no one dared to speak, the room was quiet as if a needle had fallen on the ground, and it was clearly audible until Linglong raised his head and clapped his palm: "Let Cook Wang prepare to cook first, I I'm hungry, let's talk about these things after dinner."
Cook Wang is now racking his brains and trying his best to figure out what to eat, for fear that he can't do any of the dishes well, which will annoy the master. Although he is not likable, his cooking skills are really real, and it is quite suitable for exquisite appetite. Before that, Chef Wang was quite shy in the mansion, except for the young master, the county owner and Miss Lu. Others want to eat a bite of his dishes, it is as hard as the sky!
The big shopkeepers dared to show Linglong's face, but they didn't dare not to come, so half of the meal was eaten, and the servants outside reported that the big shopkeepers had arrived.
"Since it's here, let's hit a hundred boards first." She said lightly, "If you can't kill them, let them come to see me."
The five big shopkeepers were so complacent that they asked someone to hold them as soon as they arrived in the yard. How could they expect this step-wife to be so fierce? Originally, they had all figured out excuses to make things difficult for her, but no one would do it directly like her!
The sound of the boards outside was endless, and Linglong continued to enjoy the food in the room. The young master glanced at Linglong with a pale face, thinking that he was just locked up. If he also suffered a hundred boards, he would lose his life. It's gone!
The small county head is leaning against Linglong.
It wasn't until they chewed and ate slowly that Linglong didn't let someone bring in the undead.
These big shopkeepers are pampered, each one is full of brain fat and tender meat, how can they stand these hundred boards? One of them was beaten to death, and the other four were terrified and begged for mercy loudly, but the master in the room seemed not to hear them, using their cry and begging for mercy as background music for dinner!
The four who survived were beaten like a puddle of flesh, dragged into the house and lying on the ground, unable to even kneel.
There is no idea whatsoever at this moment. No matter how capable they are, they can't help being the second wife! It's just that this step-wife is too ruthless. I thought that the intrigue between the women was just to drive away Miss Lu. How about these big shopkeepers? However, seeing the shopkeeper Huang being beaten to death, the four talents woke up like a dream - no matter what the big shopkeeper is, they are also their servants!
"Thank you for your hard work."
As soon as Linglong opened her mouth, she first praised her.
"Oops, how come there are only four people, not five?"
"Back to the master, the manager Huang, who was in charge of the bank, failed to survive the punishment and was already dead."
"It's very unlucky." Linglong sneered, "Clean up and drop by the shopkeeper Huang's house. According to this ledger, give me back all the money that is lacking. If you lose a penny, I will chop off your finger."
The leading guard's scalp was numb with fright: "Yes, yes!"
"What's the matter?" Linglong resumed her gentle tone, and asked the four people lying on the ground, "Are you afraid? What is there to be afraid of? Shopkeeper Huang has been the chief shopkeeper for so many years, and she is only a concubine in the family. , there are more than 20. I heard that last month, I just hired a 14-year-old girl? This shopkeeper Huang is not very interested. People in their forties are more and more fond of little girls, tsk tsk tsk ."
She shook her head, "Minions have to look like slaves, don't get the wrong position, the innocent little girl entered the house of Manager Huang and died, it's not a broken straw mat Just throw the bag away? Look at your virtues, what are you afraid of, you haven’t done anything wrong, what are you afraid of?”
She picked up the ledger on the table, "Oh, look at this, I don't know, what kind of Gongmi costs one thousand taels of silver a pound, Manager Jia? I also looked at the ledger from previous years, you Anyway, I’m still a little perfunctory. What’s the matter in the past few years? It’s because Lu Fuling’s brain is not good, and even perfunctory is so perfunctory? , directly got 1,000 taels of silver and a pound of tribute rice, dare to ask where the remaining 900 taels went?"
Liangzhuang shopkeeper Jia's body is like a sieve of chaff, and the severe physical pain is no match for the huge mental fear.
"Could it be that it became the ten-in-ten-out house in your family, the pearl of the adult man's fist when your mother passed her birthday?"
Treasurer Jia couldn't even utter a word. He never imagined that Mrs. Ji knew all this. He was so frightened that he rolled his eyes, coupled with the severe pain in his body, he actually fainted!
There is nothing to say when he faints. If he drags it down, he will still send someone to raid his house. Any jewels of the house must be recovered!
"You... the shopkeeper of Yinlou Qian, I heard that you bought a batch of jade? Why is this? It's ten times higher than the market price, and you have been the shopkeeper for all these years. Why, you can't get the batch of goods. The standard price? Or, are you deceived? If you are deceived, what are you doing as a shopkeeper? Be a beggar!”
The two shopkeepers of Buzhuang Restaurant are surnamed Feng and Chen respectively. They are okay. Although they are a little selfish, they have no major actions. , of course Linglong has to pay them back.
"I like the people around me to be cleaner." Linglong said, "I don't like people who have been involved in human life, are too greedy, and can't satisfy their desires. Such people stink."
If you don't like something, it's okay if you don't see it, but if you see it, you want to destroy it.
Manager Feng saw that Mrs. Ji did not name the two of them again. She knew that although she was not loyal, she was conscientious and conscientious. Presumably Mrs. Ji wanted to keep the two to continue the work, and she didn't care about herself at the moment. In severe pain, he desperately got up and kowtowed to Linglong, expressing his willingness to serve his wife.
Mother Qiu crossed her waist and said, "Our master doesn't like to be called Madam. If you think she is the master, you should call her master!"
The two hurriedly continued to kowtow, calling themselves their masters.
Linglong smiled slightly and looked at the other two, as if looking at two dead objects.
Immediately after, she dealt with the two of them, but instead of beating them to death as she did to the shopkeeper Huang, she threw them out and left them to fend for themselves. The child has no interest either. She slapped the board and collected all the money back. It is easy to change from frugality to luxury, and from luxury to frugality is difficult. She is too lazy to care.
"That's right." Linglong remembered one thing, "Those little girls who were killed by Shopkeeper Huang, remember to ask Shopkeeper Huang's family to watch the spirits one by one, but don't forget it."
The concubines in the family were brought in one by one, and they died one by one. She didn't believe that Mr. Huang's parents, wife and children didn't know about it. Now that she knew, she pretended not to know, and she enjoyed the great wealth brought by Mr. Huang. What is wrong with others, although keeping the spirit is meaningless, it is better than nothing.
Afterwards, Linglong promoted three other people to take over as new shopkeepers. So far, she was completely in control of both the inside and outside of the palace.
The housekeeper Xue, who was driven away, was also found. The old man is in his fifties this year. Because he is not the son of the Gongfu family, Lu Fuling and Mama Xiao had to drive him away. He couldn't do anything to him, and the housekeeper Xue didn't have the surname Xue. He was a man who followed his old man, even his surname followed him. Later, he injured his leg and couldn't fight, so he entered the mansion as a housekeeper. , once married a mother-in-law, but unfortunately the mother-in-law was short-lived and left early. Butler Xue never remarried. Since he had no children and no daughters, he stayed at the mansion with peace of mind. Duke Wu An was not in the mansion, but Steward Xue was there. Make the public house run normally up and down.
However, his temperament is upright, and he is most despised by those intriguing and intriguing thoughts. He can see what kind of person Lu Fuling is at a glance. Xiao's mother always pretends to be very good on the face. The county owner is also very kind. Butler Xue often told her to strictly demand the two children, and never let them go astray and learn badly. Mother Xiao promised, but secretly joined forces with Lu Fuling to drive Butler Xue away. .
It was also after Butler Xue was kicked out that Mama Xiao dared to let her family live that rich life! Otherwise, if this old man finds out, it will turn the world upside down!
The little grandpa and the little county owner also hate this housekeeper Xue very much. What they want to do is always supported by others. But housekeeper Xue is always strict and preaching, not allowing this or that, as my aunt said , they are the masters of the government! How can I be ridden on the head by someone?
But now, the little father-in-law learned that neither his aunt nor Xiao's mother really liked him and his sister, and learned that Butler Xue had been found, and he was at a loss for a while - is there anyone in this world who really loves them?
Linglong is very curious about this: "Do you think there is anything likable in you?"
Little Master:
Linglong unceremoniously pierced his heart, completely ignoring the child in front of him, who was only seven years old: "Look, you are not good, disobedient, scolding your servants, self-willed and arrogant, full of foul language, even big characters. If you don't know a few, you are noisy and domineering, if you don't match your heart, you will go crazy. Others treat you respectfully because of your father. If you were a child on the street, you would have been beaten to death."
The little grandpa was said to cry: "I, don't I have any advantages?"
Linglong decided to be more democratic, she waved her hand, and some servants came in, "The young master asked you what advantages he has, think about it, as long as you can come up with one, I will reward him twenty taels of silver. This advantage must be From the heart, dare to use your head as a guarantee."
Young master is still a child after all, who doesn't like being praised? But when he thought about it carefully, no one had ever praised him, not even his aunt, mother Xiao, and even the emperor in the palace had ever praised him for his merits.
He looks expectantly at the line of minions.
Then this expectation slowly turned into a loss, because after so long, no one spoke... Everyone was embarrassed, don't praise it, it doesn't feel good, but praise it, but I really don't want to. There is nothing to be proud of.
Anyone's advantages? What are the advantages of the little man?
"Best my lord."
It was Butler Xue. When he was found, he was scrawny and seriously ill. He was wandering in a ruined temple waiting for death to come. When he was kicked out, Lu Fuling and Xiao's mother didn't give him a penny. I did odd jobs to support myself, but then I got a leg disease and couldn't do anything.
I thought I was going to die, but I saw people from the public mansion. After being brought back, a doctor treated me, prescribed medicine, and had no shortage of food and clothing. Butler Xue valued love and righteousness, and the grace of dripping water still had to spring up. In return, not to mention that Linglong has saved his life for him?
As soon as I was able to get out of bed, I forced my sick body to come to pay my respects.
Linglong glanced at Qiu's mother and Chunhua, meaning to let these two things learn from other people's housekeeper Xue, how can there be such a big difference between people?
With Butler Xue, there is no need to do many things in the manor. She also helped Butler Xue to find a boy with an honest and upright character who had lost both parents to be his adopted son. At the end of the day, you can also train the next public housekeeper. The boy, Butler Xue, had already seen him, so he was more and more grateful to Linglong. If it wasn't for the pain in his leg, he would definitely kneel down to thank his master for his great kindness.
Linglong has endless patience and an excellent attitude towards people like Butler Xue.
Butler Xue asked her well before looking at the young master, who was sitting there, his face full of grievances. Lu Fuling was driven away, Xiao's mother was dealt with, and the servants around him and his sister were also changed. Indifferent, he was born with red lips and white teeth, like a little golden boy under the seat of the Bodhisattva.
No one can tell the merits of the young master, but Butler Xue said: "The young master is smart and filial. The old slave still remembers that when the master was in the mansion, he often taught the young master to speak, and the young master listened to a couple of times. I will do it all over the place! The grandfather enters the palace, and when he returns to the palace, the young grandfather will leave his favorite cakes to the grandfather, but he is not smart and filial!"
When the young master heard this, he opened his eyes in surprise and looked at Linglong with a little shyness, meaning you see! I am also good!
Linglong smiled and said to Butler Xue: "That's enough to say, it's all said that it's not good if you're young, and the little master is now a cat who hates dogs and hates everyone, so it's just the filter in your heart. Hundreds of layers thick, everything looks good to him."
Butler Xue doesn't know what a filter is, but he thinks that Mrs. Ji is 110,000 times better than that girl Lu. He is afraid that the master will not have a good impression of the young master, so he hastily said: "Master, the young master Xiaoxian The Lord will grow into what he is today, and it has nothing to do with Lu Fulingxiao's mother! The children are young, whether it is good or bad, it is all at the discretion of the adults, they deliberately support the two little masters, and ask the master to see it clearly! Husband The grandfather and the grandfather are all men who stand upright in the sky, and as their descendants, the young grandfather and the small county owner are by no means bad people!"
He was too excited, for fear that Linglong would give up the two children from now on. Looking at the words and deeds of the master these days, it can be seen that he is generous, righteous, and upright. Linglong, after all, the next wife will also have her own children in the future, how can she ask her to treat the children left by the previous wife as her own?
When the little grandpa heard this, he looked at Linglong with some anticipation and a little nervousness. The younger sister was always by her side. This step-wife always seemed to have a lot of fun ideas. She is a child, and the little grandpa has no playmates in the mansion. , There are not many friends outside. Seeing that his sister and Linglong are having a good time, he actually wants to join, but he is embarrassed and can't show his face, for fear of being rejected.
Linglong beckoned to the little grandfather, the little grandfather was embarrassed twice, but walked towards her. His mother died when he was two years old, and he has long forgotten her appearance and voice. My aunt is a mother, but my aunt doesn't really like him at all, and he, he doesn't like my aunt anymore!
"As long as you're good, I can play with you."
When the little grandpa heard this, he raised his head and clenched his fist: "I will be good! I am very obedient!"
That's right, although the two brothers and sisters don't take the lives of others seriously, they are both obedient to Lu Fuling and mother Xiao, who had won their trust in the past, and never disobeyed, maybe they were brothers and sisters since childhood. Growing up together, but without the company of parents, children cannot grow without love, just like plants cannot do without sunlight, air and water. When they don’t get love, they will subconsciously look for someone who can replace them, Lu Fuling It is through this point that these two arrogant children are playing around, literally playing wherever they are.
She is a girl in her late twenties, and there is no one at home. She lives in the public mansion and does not leave. Is it true that no one outside is making irresponsible remarks? Lu Fuling can't stay behind closed doors, can't he?
However, when she was wronged and ridiculed outside, she dared not do anything for her reputation as being gentle and virtuous. When she came back, she told a nephew to talk to her, so every time it was the brothers and sisters who took the lead in bullying others. Out of countless bad reputations, only Lu Fuling is innocent.
