Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Best Master
By the time she had finished talking to Miss Mei, the sun was already completely westward. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The afterglow of the setting sun shone from the top of the West Mountain into Helan Toshiyuki's room, and everyone was illuminated golden yellow. The setting sun always feels desolate, painful, and imminent death. Especially the sunset in winter, it gives people a terrifying atmosphere of annihilation.
The house construction system of the Tang Dynasty has fully matured, but it has to be said that papier-mΓ’chΓ© windows do not play any role at all for a person who is accustomed to glass, whether from the perspective of warmth or ventilation.
Under this faint sunlight, a cold wind whizzed through the window. Although it is not to the point of whistling, the sound of the window paper accompanied by the wind is enough to make people feel completely cold.
He looked up, then scanned the room.
In addition to He Lanminzhi himself, there are only five people left in the house: He Lanzhen, He Lanchun, Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San.
As for the things they are waiting to talk about, the two little maids should still be difficult to understand. One of them looked around, looking a little idle. Somewhat indifferent to the things they were talking about. A teacup focused on the one in front of him, as if he could see the flowers in the half-drunk tea.
Ah Da was still honestly placed on his waist, his eyes slightly squinted. He seems to have just been illuminated by the setting sun, a little dazzling, right? But there was no other place for him to move, so he could only sit steadily. is worthy of being a person who practices martial arts, and he has some concentration. And there is a kind of non-angry and self-righteous appearance.
Ah Er still looked innocent, looking straight ahead. The eyes are still very pure, the same expressionless face but it doesn't give people a look of non-anger and self-authority, so it's a bit like an idiot and stupid.
Ah San had a habitual smile on his face, I'm afraid he had been kneeling for a long time. It looks like there is a nail on the buttocks, and the body is shaking from left to right.
These were the five slaves he had chosen from the slave shop at that time, although not much time had passed. But I don't know why, I seem to have accepted them as my family. The two little maids may be a little closer, but Ah Da Ah Er Ah San has indeed been admitted by himself.
"Ah Da, I once asked you to contact the ruffians and hooligans in Chang'an City, have you been in contact with them all?"
Ah Da nodded: "The little one has been approached according to the identity of the young master..."
"That's good." Before Ah Da could finish speaking, Helan Minzhi interrupted him. "Is there anyone in there who can be used?"
"It's... The small one is not good. After all, there hasn't been contact for a long time. β
"Give you a day to find the ruffians you've come into contact with, I have a task for them, and I ask you to make sure that they can complete this task."
Ah Da looked embarrassed: "Please forgive me, young master, the time of the day is too short, and the small ones really can't do it." And I don't know what the young master wants to accomplish, these people are too unreliable. β
For the first time, Ah Da refused Helan Toshiyuki's order. But he was not angry, because Ah Da was telling the truth, and he himself knew that this matter was difficult.
"You don't have to pick and choose who is available, and it's not complicated."
"Please also ask the young master to make it clear."
"You know everything in the shop, right?"
"Yes"
"Someone is jealous of our business, fair competition, young master, I'm not afraid. But I gave me such a hand to the young master, and it was not a gentleman's work to stab me in secret. I can't swallow this breath, you find me someone to follow the people who are pestering in the shop but never buying, and show me who is stabbing me in the back. The tone was also gradually aggravated, after all, this bad breath was really difficult to calm down.
After listening to Helan Minzhi, Ah Da gently pinched his chin and thought for a while. looked at him and said, "The young master has a life, so he naturally tries his best to do it." If it's just to do this, then it's always okay to get some money. β
"Don't be stingy with money, these individuals are naturally mercenary. However, it is likely that the people in the court will be involved, and they would rather give up the opportunity than be caught. "It's not that Helan Minzhi is timid, the Helan family at this time is still like a little ant, extremely weak. There is no ability and capital to compete with anyone.
"The little ones understand, if they really can't do it, then the little ones will go by themselves, and they will definitely not let them miss the young master's big things." Ah Da nodded.
"Ah Er, you found out about Sun Laosan, right?"
Ah Er didn't seem to expect to mention himself, and every time he did this, he would not be called. So he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he reacted: "Yes, young master." β
"Very good, go down later, and find Fauber to receive the reward. Just say what I said, a hundred dollars. β
Ah Er's eyes widened, but he immediately waved his hand again and again, and his mouth was a little anxious: "No, no, no, little, young master, this was originally the task you gave me, how dare I ask you to give me a reward." β
If Ah San said this, Helan Min would not believe it. Because he is not that kind of person, but looking at Ah Er's slightly panicked appearance, there is really no hypocrisy on his honest face, and he smiled slightly: "For you, you can just take it." Don't worry too much, although there is a lot of money in the house on weekdays, but in the future, you will have to ask for money to marry a daughter-in-law and have children. Could it be that you still expect the young master to cover it all? β
Hearing this, Ah Er's honest face immediately flushed, and he quickly lowered his head, and suddenly, his voice seemed to have become a lot thinner: "The little one doesn't dare, that, that, then thank the young master for rewarding." β
Seeing that his face turned a little red, Helan Minzhi and everyone present laughed. However, the real gratitude can be seen in the eyes of Ah Da Ah San, although they have never experienced other masters. But I have seen a lot of slaves in the slave industry, and I have heard that some masters will consider the marriage of slaves. They all want to treat slaves as cattle and horses, as if they can skip a meal when they are tired.
"Okay, this old man made this little daughter posture, and it made me feel uncomfortable when I saw it. You all listen, work for the young master, and the benefits will be indispensable to you in the future. You don't have to think about it, do you hear it? He patted the small few in front of him and said with pride.
Ah Da Ah Er Ah San instantly clasped his fists: "Yes, young master!" β
Immediately, their voices rose several degrees, and all three of them had smiles on their faces, a smile that was not seen on the faces of all slaves. This is a heartfelt smile after being respected.
"Okay, let's go down, it's almost time to eat, young master, I'm hungry." He waved his hand absently. Helan Minzhi also had a different smile.
