Shen Zhaoyan raised his brows in confusion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's all the girl's work. She is a very good storyteller, and since she entered the pulp washing room, the little stones have stuck to her every day, and she has heard many good stories from her. In addition, Xiao Shi's homework has also grown a lot, and last time he actually won the first place in the school and got a letter of praise from the master. Zhang was grateful to her and came to ask me for help. ”
Shen Zhaoyan's eyes were half-narrowed, and he asked in a deep voice, "The little stone sticks to her every day?" So how does she work? ”
Rong Liu was speechless: "This ......"
Shen Zhaoyan asked again: "She was born in the countryside and can't read a word, how did she teach Xiaoshi to become the first in the school?" ”
"I don't know what method she used, but the little stone was indeed treated by her. Come to think of it, maybe it's because she tells those stories so well! Rong Liu thought for a moment and replied.
Shen Zhaoyan was expressionless and silent, Mingde glanced at it, and whispered his suspicions: "What good story can an illiterate country girl tell?" ”
Seeing that the eldest young master didn't say a word, Rong Liu hesitated for a moment, and then took the initiative to mention again: "Lao Zhou is my sworn brother, and he entrusted his younger brother's family to me before leaving, but I have been busy with myself and lack discipline for Xiaoshi...... If this woman can guide Xiaoshi to read the books of sages and increase his knowledge, I am willing to take out my savings for many years and fold them for these two sisters. ”
Shen Zhaoyan stood up slowly, still not speaking.
Rong Liuxuan glanced at Mingde, hoping that he could help say good things.
Mingde shook his head lightly, and kindly said: "Sixth master, you haven't been following the eldest young master for a day or two, those two girls have committed such a big thing, and if you don't send it to the official for investigation, the eldest young master is already extraordinarily gracious, how long has it been?" and fought in the subordinate room, which shows that the punishment is still light. If it is released now, won't everyone think that they can set fires and fight at will in the Shen family? ”
Rong Liu knew that this was the reason, so he hesitated for a long time. The eldest young master's refusal was also expected. Let's just assume that girl doesn't have that good life!
The room suddenly fell silent, and just as Rong Liu was retreating, Shen Zhaoyan suddenly opened his mouth and ordered: "Mingde, bring her from the firewood room to the study when you go back at night." ”
Rong Liu was stunned, he thought there was no play.
Mingde was also surprised, this was very different from the eldest young master's usual behavior and style, he really couldn't guess what the eldest young master thought.
Not only did they not guess, but Zhong Liyue couldn't figure it out either.
With doubts to the study,
Mingde glared at Zhong Liyue and reminded in a low voice, "Why don't you kneel down quickly?!" ”
Zhong Liyue struggled for a moment, but finally knelt down.
"I heard you're a good storyteller?"
A low-magnetic man's voice slowly sounded in the room, Zhong Liyue raised her head, swept the few people in front of her, and after confirming that it was Shen Zhaoyan who asked, she replied, "It's okay!" ”
"Tell me about it."
Zhong Liyue didn't understand what he was going to do, didn't want to waste his saliva, and was embarrassed to open his mouth to ask for money, so he simply said perfunctorily: "I can't think of it for a while now." ”
Shen Zhaoyan didn't care either, and said, "Then tell the little stone about it." ”
Zhong Liyue didn't know why, so she spoke slowly first, secretly observing the expressions of several of them as she spoke. When it came to the highlights, she stopped, a pained expression on her face, and a painful sound came out of her mouth.
Shen Zhaoyan saw through Zhong Liyue's thoughts at a glance, and couldn't help it. He finally knew how she had held the little stone. However, he still didn't understand, "I heard that Xiaoshi won the first place in the academy under your teaching." I remember you weren't literate, how did you do that? ”
Zhong Liyue replied truthfully: "It is because I can't read and write, so I humbly asked Xiaoshi, Xiaoshi was afraid of being asked by me, and wanted to play prestige in front of me, so he studied hard." But I really didn't expect him to take the first place. ”
Shen Zhaoyan was quite surprised by Zhong Liyue's directness, he thought that she would take all the credit on his head, and then take the opportunity to make any request, but he didn't expect that she suddenly stopped being clever and had something to say.
Zhong Liyue really wanted to make some ghost ideas just now and fight for some benefits for herself. But she suddenly thought, who is Shen Zhaoyan? A merchant who has been in the mall for a long time! Although he looks like he is only about twenty years old, he has a deep mind, and his mental age is definitely much older than hers. In front of him, she thought that her deeds were not enough.
Rong Liu couldn't help but say, "Miss Zhong is so modest, Xiaoshi is thanks to you. ”
Zhong Liyue smiled embarrassedly, she finally figured out why she was able to come out of the firewood room.
"Since the sixth master intercedes for you, he is willing to pay a hundred taels for you to subsidize the cost of rebuilding the kitchen, in the future, you will come to my bamboo garden to do things!" Shen Zhaoyan wrote lightly.
Several people in the room looked at Shen Zhaoyan with surprised faces.
Going to Bamboo Garden to do things? How many maids dream of things, Zhong Liyue's sinful body actually entered like this.
Even Rong Liu didn't expect that he just pleaded for Zhong Liyue and left the firewood room, but he didn't expect the eldest young master to transfer her to the bamboo garden.
"Sixth Master?" What Zhong Liyue didn't expect was that the sixth master not only interceded for her nephew, but also helped her subsidize the three hundred taels owed. Why did he pay for her? Zhong Liyue felt that no matter how kind a person was, it was impossible for her to do this, she didn't dare to ask for such a benefit casually, she looked at Rong Liu, and asked defensively: "The sixth master gave so much money, do you want me to do something?"
Rong Liu hurriedly waved his hand, "It's too late to be grateful, how dare you ask for anything?" What's more, I'm alone, and it's useless to keep the money. A hundred taels of silver, just when I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, not only to thank you, but also to the old club to do their part. ”
"Sixth Master, you are too polite. I ......" Zhong Liyue still felt embarrassed, telling Xiaoshi a story, she had already received benefits, and she couldn't pick another one from other people's uncles. But the money was all accepted by Shen Zhaoyan, and if it wasn't in her hands, she couldn't do anything. I can only wait for it to be earned later, and then return it to him.
"Although it is easier to do things in the bamboo garden, you can't slack off. If you don't do your job well this time, I will send all of you sisters to the government. Shen Zhaoyan said coldly.
Zhong Liyue said very seriously: "Please rest assured, young master, I will definitely cherish this opportunity." I have one more question, though. ”
Shen Zhaoyan raised his eyes to look at her and gave her a permissive look.
Zhong Liyue looked at Shen Zhaoyan, then at Rong Liu, and asked, "Is the salary for working here the same as the salary for washing clothes in the pulp laundry?"
Rong Liu didn't think much about it, and immediately replied: "Naturally, it's different, the people who go to the pulp washing room are all substitutes, and the salary is less."
"Then if you calculate it like this......" Zhong Liyue spread her fingers and began to settle the accounts.
Shen Zhaoyan ruthlessly interrupted her again: "No matter how you calculate it, you won't be finished in your lifetime."
"How so? Maybe I'm doing well and becoming a big girl in the future? Maybe it's possible to be a housekeeper. Is it stipulated that women can't be housekeepers? Zhong Liyue looked at Rong Liu with puzzled eyes.
Rong Liu was stunned and replied, "I don't seem to have heard of a woman as a housekeeper." ”
"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it, as long as there are no rules that don't allow it." Zhong Liyue said with a look of longing: "If I become a big housekeeper, I should be able to pay off my debts in a few years." I'm a little maid now, and I still have a ...... in the big housekeeper."
