Chapter 50: The Servant of Ambition

"Miss Liu, I promise to give you twenty percent of the molecule, that is, six hundred yuan, and I will help you send it to your home later!" Lin Yi said with a smile. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Liu Xinyi tilted her head sideways, thought for a while, blinked a sly light in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, discuss something with you?" I won't take this money back, it's good to put a share in your place! ā€

"This ......?" Lin Yi hesitated for a while, his own business start-up, and he needed someone to invest in shares, with this money, it would definitely help his career. But in the future, if he develops his own business, if he gives Liu Xinyi a monthly share, I am afraid it will be a huge astronomical amount, and besides, if Liu Xinyi relies on her identity as a shareholder in the future to point fingers and make irresponsible remarks about her own decision-making, what should she do?

Seeing Lin Yi hesitating, Liu Xinyi suddenly stretched out her hand, grabbed Lin Yi's arm and shook it, "Brother Lin!" I'm idle at home anyway, so I might as well come to you to help! I am proficient in poetry, calligraphy and painting, piano, chess and songs, and I will help you take care of the bookstore's business, there should be no problem! ā€

"Good! I promise you, I promise you! Lin Yi was so coquettish by Liu Xinyi, his bones were crispy, and he said a little unwillingly.

Xinyuelan saw it next to her, and said with a cold face: "This is not good, our master is not short of your little money, you better take your money and go back!" ā€

Liu Xinyi raised her eyebrows, snorted coldly, and said: "A woman who escaped from marriage is not the wife that Brother Lin is marrying, what qualifications do you have to take care of Brother Lin's affairs?" ā€

Lin Yi and Xinyuelan's master and servant were suddenly shocked. Lin Yi pointed at Liu Xinyi and said in a trembling voice: "Liu ...... Miss, you ...... How did you find out? ā€

Liu Xinyi Ge Jiao smiled: "It's easy to see that you are a couple, why don't you sleep in the same room?" And the demeanor is not as close as a normal couple, more like a pair of sisters and brothers or lovers? In addition, the accent of the speech is not like that of a person in the same place, I also happened to hear Sister Yuelan and Chunyu whispering about running away from marriage or something when they were printing books together, which confirmed my judgment, new sister, I said it well! Why don't we go to the Jiangnan area to inquire? ā€

Xinyuelan sighed helplessly and said, "What you said is all right! I don't want you to stay, and I don't want you to let you know this secret! ā€

Seeing Xin Yuelan's admission, Liu Xinyi showed a smile of triumphant joy on her face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I just want to do a bookstore business with Brother Lin, and I won't go to the yamen to report you!" ā€

This can be said to be both a guarantee and a threat, Xin Yuelan didn't dare to object, and Lin Yi had no choice but to say: "Okay! Then you can stay! I'll give you 20% of the bookstore business, don't you think? ā€

Liu Xinyi showed a happy smile on her face and said, "Thank you, Brother Lin!" In the future, the business of this bookstore, which is my business, I will come to see it every day. After that, he threw a wink at Lin Yi, and Gegejiao left with a smile!

This woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp either! What a deep scheming, Lin Yi pondered. Xinyuelan looked at Liu Xinyi's departing back, spit on the ground fiercely, turned around, and said fiercely to Lin Yi: "From today onwards, you go to sleep in my room!" ā€

Lin Yi was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Sleep in your bed?" ā€

Xinyuelan spat on the ground and said sharply, "Phew! Think beautifully, it's still the old rule, the old lady sleeps on the bed, you sleep on the floor, and when the time comes, send away the little goblin, and you go back to your room to sleep! ā€

Then you can't let the goblin go, with her, I still have a chance to touch your bed, if she leaves, wouldn't you immediately turn your face and rush back to sleep alone in the cold bed? Lin Yi thought in his heart.

Anyway, today's sale of Liu Wuchang's poetry collection made a windfall, Xinyuelan was still very happy, at lunchtime, she ordered Chunyu to specially cut two catties of meat, fried a few meat dishes, and bought a pot of wine to reward Lin Yi. Lin Yi eats very heartily, from today on, we will also be a little rich man with thousands of dollars in his pocket, from now on, sell books to make money, buy houses and land, and life will definitely get better day by day. As for Liu Xinyi, a woman! I coaxed her sweetly, and coaxed her to the bed in the future, so I wasn't afraid that she would threaten herself again? I silently made up my mind.

How much money she earned and how to spend it was a big question, and Xinyuelan said, "Hey! Little monk, I have an idea, how can I be busy with this book printing and Chunyu? I am the mistress of a family, how can I easily do such heavy work, these days have exhausted me, so that people can see and arouse the suspicion of others, right? Chunyu is also busy cooking at home, washing clothes, cleaning the yard, tidying up the house, and is also very busy, why don't we buy a few slaves to help, do you think? ā€

Lin Yi thought about it and felt that it was not good to always call Xinyuelan and Chunyu to help! Besides, in the future, I will print more books, and only the two of them will be too busy. But if I hired two people to help, I was afraid that the skill of movable type printing would spread from then on, and I would no longer be able to make a lot of money, and it would be nice if I could buy a few slaves to help me. "Okay! Just follow the new sister, buy two slaves and a literate and hyphenated slave! ā€

Xinyuelan said again: "Also, we have money now, and we rent other people's houses every month to live, and people will always look down on them, you have to buy me a big mansion to live in, and Chunyu and I have to enjoy it." ā€

Well! There is some truth to this, I am a boss now, if I still rent someone else's house to live in, and spread it to my business partners, it will be looked down upon, and I am afraid it will be greatly hindered to take care of the bookstore business with myself! Buying a house to settle down in is also a top priority. Lin Yi also nodded in agreement and said, "Okay! The matter of buying a house will be handed over to me, and in the afternoon I will go to find a suitable house, and I will leave the matter of buying slaves to your lords and servants. ā€

Xinyue Lan smiled and said, "You can rest assured!" I'm a young lady from a big family, and I know what kind of subordinate to use, and I will definitely be able to help you do this well! ā€

After lunch, Lin Yi returned to his room, took a nap, then shook his fan and walked to the street to find a suitable house. Buying a big house in the capital, like later generations, must be considered in all aspects, and it is not easy to hand it over to Xinyuelan to buy. Lin Yi walked around the street looking for notices for selling houses, asking people who had a house to sell, until it was dark, and he didn't find a suitable one, so he had to walk back with a fan again.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Xinyuelan rushing up to meet her, and said with a smile: "Husband, I bought back slaves for people, a total of five people, don't you blame me for making my own decisions?" ā€

Lin Yi smiled: "How can I blame you, you quickly ask Chunyu to bring them to me to see." So saying, he walked into the main room and sat down in a chair.

After a while, the door curtain was lifted, and Chunyu walked in with two thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls, who looked delicate and thin, and looked a little distressed. Chunyu instructed the two little girls to kneel down and kowtow to Lin Yi.

We are also civilized and educated elite intellectuals in later generations, with a benevolent heart, we have always hated the evil ancient social slave system, but in order to complete the primitive accumulation of their own capital, we have to compromise with it first, and when we earn a lot of money in the future, we will establish a firm foothold in this capital and restore their freedom immediately! Lin Yi made up his mind in his heart, smiled and ordered the two of them to stand up, and asked, "What are the names of the two of you?" ā€

A little girl who was a little taller said timidly: "My name is Da Lan, I am fourteen years old this year, and her name is Xiao Lan, I am thirteen years old this year, and she is my sister." ā€

Lin Yi said with a smile: "Da Lan, Xiao Lan, this name is not bad, from now on, you two are our Lin family, my lord, my rules here, one is not allowed to see the master kneel, and the other is not allowed to betray the master and me, and tell the secret of the master here." Three, don't want the monthly wages I will pay you, sir. ā€

Wow! There is no need to see the old man kneeling, and there is a monthly salary to be paid, and the two little girls are overjoyed, and they are busy kneeling and kowtowing together to express their gratitude.

Lin Yi ordered them to go back, and Chunyu brought in two more people, but they were a mother and son, the mother was thirty years old, Xinyuelan bought her to be a cook, and her son was fourteen or fifteen years old, with a loyal appearance, and he was also strong, and his eyes flashed with a kind of agility, and after he came in, he also knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Yi together.

Lin Yi asked their names again, and the woman said, "The concubine is Zhang, and this is my son, named Zhuzi." ā€

Lin Yi said the words he told the two little girls again, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as you work hard, after two years, the master will restore the freedom of your mother and son, return the deed of sale to you, and the salary, you save every month, and marry a daughter-in-law to the pillar in the future." ā€

Zhang was overjoyed, pulled the pillar and knelt down, kept kowtowing, and said vigorously: "Thank you, Master!" Our mother and son have really met good people! ā€

Lin Yi also ordered their mother and son to go down, and asked to bring the next one.

Xinyuelan whispered beside her: "Husband, it's just this one person, don't you want to scold me!" I...... I really saw him crying pitifully, and my heart softened, so I bought him. ā€

Lin Yi waved his hand impatiently and said, "You just have to bring him in, you are my wife, you can also do this family matter, why bother, I will never blame you!" ā€

Xin Yuelan smiled happily when she heard this, and hurriedly ordered Chunyu to bring that person in to show Lin Yi.

I saw the door curtain lifted, and a thin man about sixty years old walked in and knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi blinked, stayed for a while, turned around and called Xin Yuelan to him, and said, "Didn't you ask you to buy a younger one?" Why did you buy someone of this age? If this is old and dead, we still have to attach a coffin to bury him, right? Why are you so confused? ā€

Xinyuelan was ashamed and said: "He is the grandfather of Da Lan and Xiao Lan, I saw them hugging each other, I really cried pitifully, my heart was soft, and I didn't know how to buy them together!" ā€

Lin Yi lowered his face and reprimanded: "Really confused? What can such an old man ask him to do? ā€

Before the words fell, I saw the old man, who stood up when he heard the voice, bowed down, and said in a deep voice: "Master rest assured, the old man, I am literate and hyphenated, and my hands and feet are diligent, and I will never eat the master's food in vain!" "There is an awe-inspiring and upright air in his body.

Lin Yi was taken aback when he saw his outstanding momentum, looked at him with his eyes and asked, "What's your name?" What did you do before? ā€

The old man arched his hand and said: "My name is Archie, the old man, I was originally the steward of the Yang family, Xuzhou, and I also helped him take care of the business, but later Yang did not listen to the advice of the old slave, and had something to do with the people in the Maitreya Sect, and was implicated, so I was convicted together!" Rest assured, the old slave will be diligent and do a good job! ā€

Well! Mao Sui recommended himself, this person must have six or seven points of ability, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken like this? I just don't know what his character is! Let's take a look at it later! Lin Yi made up his mind in his heart. Laughing: "Good! If you have ambition, I will not treat you badly, I will gradually ask you to do things, as long as you do a good job, I will also regain your freedom in two years. ā€

Archie looked overjoyed, and also stepped forward to thank Lin Yi.
