The door of the study was pushed open, Campbell walked in from the outside, saw Lin Xia, and hurriedly said, "Young master, you are back." ”

Lin Xia quietly put "Postpartum Care of Sows" back in the library, and when he saw Campbell's urgent appearance, he replied: "I have something to do for a few days and just came back." ”

"Young master, you have been gone for five days, and we have searched all over Xilin Town. Seeing that Lin Xia was back, Campbell felt a little more relaxed: "Alex is discussing with Instructor Borg and preparing to go to Dussel City to find you. I hurried to find him back. With that, he ran out of the study.

It turned out that five days had passed, Lin Xia looked at Campbell's appearance, this housekeeper was quite steady, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he lost it.

When Alex heard that Lin Xia was back, he hurriedly came to the study with Campbell, and when he saw that Lin Xia was really there, he said with a smile on his face: "Young Master." ”

"Hmm. Lin Xia nodded to Alex and said, "I suddenly have an urgent matter, leave for a few days, I've worked hard for you in the past few days." ”

Alex said, "It's not hard. Before Alex's words were finished, Campbell interjected: "It's just that the next time you go out, young master, you must greet us." ”

"Yes, my dear housekeeper. Lin Xia smiled and agreed to Campbell.

After speaking, he said to Alex, "My mayor, do you have something to look for me?"

"Yes, young master. Speaking of work, Alex immediately cheered up and said: "The tax revenue for the first quarter has been collected, a total of 1,200 gold coins, a full 700 gold coins more than in previous years." ”

Lin Xia nodded, Alex secretly looked at Lin Xia's expression, and saw that Lin Xia was still calm when he heard the amount of taxes, and couldn't help but admire in his heart. How did he know that Lin Xia was actually dissatisfied with this tax, many industries had just begun, and if they stabilized, it would be far more than that.

"As is customary, a third of the tax revenue, four hundred gold coins, has been given to Campbell's butler. The rest of the gold coins are still in the town, waiting for the young master's arrangement. Alex continued to report.

"You're doing a great job. Lin Xia encouraged him as usual, and continued: "Put the gold coins first, and I will make other arrangements in a few days." Originally, Lin Xia already had a plan for the next step in his heart, but now that there is a library, the books in the library make up for Lin Xia's lack of knowledge. After reading the book first, you can start a business with money such as soap and perfume like the predecessors of the traverser.

"Young Master. After Alex's debriefing, Campbell began to report on the family's situation: "As is customary in previous years, two-thirds of the manor will be used to repair and maintain the castle, and one-third will be handed over to the viscount. But this year, because I had the young master's money, which was enough to repair the castle, I took it upon myself to hand over half of the gold coins to the viscount. Afraid that Lin Xia would be unhappy, he added another sentence at the end: "Lord Viscount was too bitter in previous years." ”

But what Campbell didn't expect was that Lin Xia said to him: "You should give all four hundred gold coins to your father." ”

Lin Xia didn't care what Campbell thought, and continued: "Since I have already given half of it, forget it, my property in the imperial capital will send money to my father on time." Although in private, Lin Xia called Antonio Lao An, but in front of outsiders, Lin Xia was not good at Lao An, Lao An's name.

"Yes, young master. Campbell continued: "The first floor of the castle has been partially renovated according to your orders, and is now in use. There are five rooms that can be used: living room, dining room, kitchen, and five other rooms. ”

"What about the gate?" Lin Xia asked, if the gate is not repaired, will the guests have to go through the side door in the future?

Fortunately, Campbell replied to Lin Xia: "The gate is also repaired." ”

"Let's go, let's see. Lin Xia got up and prepared to go to see the place that had been repaired, he was very concerned about this matter, he didn't want to live in the castle alone, especially after seeing the ghost (Cuihua) this time.

"Young Master, there is one more thing. Alex said suddenly.

Lin Xia thought that Alex had finished reporting, but he didn't expect that there was something else, so he asked as he walked, "What's the matter?"

"Two days ago a beggar came to you, saying that he was your servant. Alex's expression was a little weird.

Lin Xia was a little puzzled, although he had recently accepted a lot of homeless people, he didn't know the beggars, so he asked, "Did he say what it was called?"

He said his name was Bacon, and he called himself a magician. But apparently a liar, I was afraid that it would be bad for you and put him in prison. Alex said.

Since Lucas's gang of robbers appeared, Bacon has disappeared, Lin Xia has always felt that he was scared, and ran away secretly, but he didn't expect him to dare to come back, and said to Alex: "Is there any use of torture?"

"That's not it. Alex replied truthfully.

Lin Xia felt a little regretful that he was not tortured, and said, "You can ask someone to bring him." ”

"Yes, young master. Alex left and called for some to bring Bacon.

Campbell took Lin Xia to visit the castle that had been repaired, the reception room hall was very large, looking at the layout, this should be the place where the emperor and ministers ceremonious, and the meeting room was changed after giving it to the Xilin family.

The restaurant is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people at the same time, and it is more suitable for banquets. Fortunately, there is also a small restaurant that can accommodate about ten people, otherwise every time he eats in the future, Lin Xia will feel that he is in the "canteen".

Lin Xia couldn't understand the kitchen, but he thought it was big. However, Lin Xia felt that he still had to live for more than half a year, and it was time to invite a chef over.

The five rooms are all about the same, they are normal guest rooms, Lin Xia stopped looking at one of them, and said to Campbell: "You all moved here." There is also one each for Birmingham and Borg. ”

"Young master, how can this be done. "Campbell freaked out, and it broke the rules.

"I said okay. Lin Xia didn't care.

Campbell knelt on the ground with a bang: "Young master, you will let other nobles gossip like this, and it will make the situation of the Xilin family even more difficult." ”

Lin Xia saw that Campbell really didn't agree, and he also knew Campbell's concerns, so he had to point to a room and said, "This will be the housekeeper's room in the future, there is no problem for you to live in as a housekeeper, right?"

Campbell thought about it, and it was normal for the housekeeper to move in to take care of the family, and nodded in agreement.

Lin Xia pointed to the room closest to his bedroom and said, "Sophie is the personal maid you arranged for me, there is no problem with living next to me, right?"

The personal maid took care of Lin Xia nearby, although the house was larger than that of a normal servant, it was acceptable.

Lin Xia said again: "Birmingham and Borg are not strictly speaking from the Xilin family, they can be regarded as my guests, and it is no problem for one person to live in one room, right?"

"No problem. Campbell said helplessly, but seeing that Lin Xia was still going to say, he hurriedly stopped: "The others can't do it anyway, they must live in the maid's room." Because the castle had been renovated, Campbell chose a few more servants from among the homeless people, and the gardener lived in his own house.

Lin Xia also knew that he could no longer convince Campbell, so he had to do this first. I'm going back to my study and then I'm going to study the library.

On the way back to the study, Alex arrived with two sheriffs escorting Bacon.

At this time, Bacon was dressed in rags, and looked more like a beggar than when he met Lucas, and Bacon was thin and thin, with an obscene face, and he didn't look like a good person. As far as Bacon is concerned, Lin Xia thinks that Alex is right to lock up Bacon.

As soon as Bacon saw Lin Xia, he didn't know where he got the strength, shook off the sheriff who was holding him, and immediately threw himself in front of Lin Xia, knelt on the ground and hugged Lin Xia's thigh, and cried: "Young Master Lin Xia, I am your most loyal servant, you can't do without me." ”

Lin Xia got angry when he saw Bacon's appearance, raised his foot and kicked Bacon, and scolded: "Something like a dog, you still know to come back." ”

After saying that, he walked to the study, and Bacon quickly stood up and followed. The two sheriffs were frightened when they saw Bacon break free and pounced on Lin Xia, and hurriedly stepped forward to control Bacon. When Alex saw Lin Xia's appearance, he obviously knew Bacon, and waved his hand to the sheriff, signaling to let Bacon go.

Back in the study, Lin Xia asked Alex to go back first.

Lin Xia walked to the desk and sat down, and Bacon wanted to pounce again, and was about to kneel, Lin Xia shouted: "Stand well." He couldn't stand the habit of Bacon kneeling and hugging his thighs when he was fine.

Bacon was stopped by Lin Xia and stood honestly.

"Tell me, where have you been?" Lin Xia asked.

Bacon lowered his head, he also knew that he had made a mistake: "Young Master Lin Xia, I found that someone wants to be unfavorable to you. ”
