Chapter 12: Sincerity

A slap in exchange for the sale and identity deeds of all the maids, Roman felt that this deal was a good deal.

What's more, the old grandmother didn't get a bargain, the eldest brother's kick made her back half blue, and the bloody hole on her head couldn't get better in ten days and half a month.

Roman opened the deed box, took it out one by one in front of the oil lamp, and looked at it carefully.

"My sister looks like she has picked up a basket of gold on the street." Roland picked up the lamp in front of his sister brighter, and handed it to his sister with a cup of mare's milk: "Anyway, they are all minions in the house, and in the hands of my sister, there are no more than two minions." ”

"What is gold, this deed is much more expensive than gold."

Roman pulled his sister into his arms, and fed her the mare's milk she had prepared: "The slave listens to you, you are the master; I took their deeds, and they will have to weigh more about how they will speak and act in the future. ”

The mare's milk was sweet, and Roland took a sip and pushed it to his sister's mouth, letting her sister drink: "Also, in the past, the slaves in the Manchu Mansion could only see the mother, and they had to listen to the mother's words at a discount." Now that the deed is in the hands of my sister, I will tell them to be presumptuous. ”

"It's rare for you to be so transparent!"

Roman took a sip of mare's milk from his sister's hand, and rubbed his sister's head lovingly: "You also have to remember, you are the master of this mansion, and you are the young lady of Xuanyi's mansion." Your status is noble, and you are not allowed to go to a minion to be a little low. ”

"yes, I see."

Roland respects and fears Mama Pei, because no matter what Mama does to her, the whole family helps Mama and thinks Mama is right. Even if it's wrong, it's for her good.

But today is different, her brother and sister told her with actions: Mama is a mother-in-law with some merits, no matter how her mother respects, spoils, and protects, she is still just a mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law scolded her, but she could not listen; The mother-in-law beats her, and she can fight back. She is the daughter of her mother, no matter what, it is more expensive than a mother-in-law.

Thinking like this, Roland couldn't help laughing: "Sister, I suddenly want to raise my chin and straighten my back. I feel as if I'm really a noble lady. ”

"Silly sister."

The two sisters laughed for a while, and then carefully read the deed of sale and body deed, and then fell asleep satisfied.

Before dawn, the matter of selling and deed was spread all over the house.

The girls and mothers-in-law who are responsible for running out usually can't meet Roman, so they are not affected. The maids who were waiting in the inner courtyard were bitter and lost their teeth, and the maids who were waiting in Roman's Qingqiu Garden were even more stunned.

The young lady pinched the sale and the deed, but it was Mama Pei who was in charge! From now on, who should they listen to?

They were more respectful and diligent than ever, and they waited carefully before Roman, not daring to breathe.

Roman, as usual, didn't give them half a look. The words of loyalty they had prepared did not have a chance to say in front of Roman.

Those girls who diligently wanted to please Roman were also sent out by Roman.

Just after breakfast, Qingqiu Garden returned to its previous desertion. The frightened maid also let go of her heart. In addition to not daring to be presumptuous in front of Roman, how they were in the past and how they are now. Even the maid who was on duty at the door hid in the teahouse as usual and knocked her teeth.

At this moment, Zhou Hong carried the screen of 'Moonlight on the Lotus Pond' and came in without hindrance.

Roman was crooked on the couch reading a book of the Art of War, and when he saw Zhou Hong coming in alone with a huge screen, he put down the book and raised his eyebrows: "This is embroidered?" ”

"It's embroidered."

"Put things down, you can get busy." After speaking, Roman continued to read the book, without the intention of entertaining Zhou Hong.

Zhou Hong was stunned for a moment, she felt that Roman bothered to buy her, since she was not tortured, it would definitely be useful. But it's been half a month, so I only let her embroider?

She knelt in front of Roman uprightly, respectfully and respectfully, and had the posture of a subordinate: "I want to be Miss's maid and listen to Miss's dispatch." ”

Roman snorted shallowly, raised his head from the book and looked at her: "What do you say?" ”

"If it weren't for the young lady, the slave would have been put into the pig cage and sunk in the pond. Miss saved my life, and this life is Miss's. From now on, I will follow Miss, obey her orders, and protect her with my life. ”

"If there's nothing else to do, just step down, I'm still going to read." Roman looked at her with a disappointed look, and the smile on the corner of his lips was helpless.

How much did Pei Junlin's family say such high-sounding words? With these few words, I want Roman to treat her as a confidant, should I say that Roman is too easy to deceive, or is she too naΓ―ve?

Zhou Hong was stunned for a moment and then realized: What Miss wants is the truth and sincerity!

"The slave maid is doing well in the Luo family, she doesn't live hard, the food is good, and she has a lot of monthly silver. The most important thing is that no one in Manchu paid attention to me, and naturally no one exposed my scars.

But I know that this is only temporary, and Mama Pei will never let me go. When the Pei family's affairs fade, my death will come.

Not only me, but my family couldn't escape either. ”

Zhou Hong slammed his head on the ground, his eyes were full of determination: "Ask Miss to save people to the end!" ”

"You don't have to be afraid of this, as long as you are still in the Luo family, I will guarantee that you are okay." Roman was looking at the key point, and after perfunctory this sentence, he wanted to concentrate and continue to read it carefully: "Go back, I'm really worried, I'll send you to your aunt." ”

"I'm not leaving, I'm going to bring down the surname Pei, and I want to earn a way for myself and the Zhou family."

Zhou Hong straightened up and looked at Roman's eyes with fanatical enthusiasm: "Looking at it these days, Miss is also in a difficult situation. If you want to change the situation of Pei Pozi covering the sky with one hand, Miss also needs help. I can, even if I can touch her flesh, I am willing to fight for her flesh. ”

Roman listened to his interest, put down the book, and looked her in the eyes seriously: "I don't want to be a fool who can't understand what I mean. ”

"The slave is not stupid, the slave knows loyalty and proportion, and will never mess around because of hatred and spoil the lady's big things."

Because of the urgency, Zhou Hong's face turned red. But in front of Roman, the words were spoken smoothly and clearly.

After watching it for more than half a month, Roman is actually quite satisfied with Zhou Hong. But this doesn't prevent her from testing her again-

"Yesterday, Mama Pei wanted to send a lot of people in the house, I would rather be beaten than allowed, you talk about the intentions in the middle."

"Those who can be sent away by Mama Pei must not be her henchmen. took away what she didn't like, and what she bought again couldn't be pinched into the young lady's hand. ”

Zhou Hong felt a little offended by this, and glanced up at Roman uneasily. Seeing that Roman was not uneasy, he was relieved to continue: "After all, you are Miss Boudoir, and Mama Pei's housekeeper has not made a mistake." You can't talk when you buy someone, and then you reprimand the newcomer, and you can't intervene either.

Therefore, selling the maid made Mama Pei stand up, and the young lady couldn't get any benefits. The slap you receive is different, and the servants know that you will protect them when you are told; Madame will be sorry for you and indulge you with some outrageous demands; In order to please her wife, Mama Pei gave in, so she handed over the maid's deed. ”

The more reasonable, the more convinced Zhou Hong became: "Miss is brave and strategic, and the slave is willing to be a pawn of the horse, treating each other with sincerity and loyalty." If you can't do it, my Zhou family will be cut off from children and grandchildren, and my Zhou Hong will not be able to die well. ”

"In this way, you will move to Qingqiu Garden and take charge of the affairs of this garden."

Zhou Hong was so excited that he kowtowed three times in a row, Roman smiled at the corner of his mouth, lowered his head and continued to read his book.

The Wenhui led by Zuo Hanlin is located in 'Linxi Jiuli', which happens to be the industry of his uncle Zhao Wennian. Roman wanted to meet the people Luo Tingchen had befriended, and he also wanted to get together with his little uncle, so he pestered his brother to go too.

"Isn't this nonsense? I'm going with my master, and I don't have any posts myself, how can I take you? ”

"You don't need to bring it, you go and tell your mother and ask her to let me go out."

Luo Tingchen smiled and nodded her forehead vigorously: "You offended A-Niang, so you came to call me?" I kicked Mama Pei over, and I won't be scolded when I go to my mother? ”

"It's a business for you to go out, and it's a business to take me with you." Roman looked at his brother flatteringly and smiled, and when he opened his mouth, he flickered: "Mother loves you, as long as you open your mouth, there is no disobedience." ”

Luo Tingchen knew that she was fooling herself, so he couldn't help but follow her: "You, I'll go and say, I'll go and be scolded." ”

The brother and sister rode into the city in a carriage, and did not bring their servants with them.

The original plan was to get to the place first, and first let Roman pull the banner of his uncle and ask the shopkeeper for a private room. Luo Tingchen went to meet with the master again, and took the master's post to attend the meeting.

The brother and sister got out of the carriage and rushed towards a crazy horse.

The people on the street were busy running for their lives, and no one cared about anyone. In the middle of the road, a child with a double comb was eating a sugar gourd, ignorant of the fact that the disaster was about to come.

Luo Tingchen saw that her scalp was numb, she put her sister on the side of the road, turned her head and threw herself at the child.

He is agile, but he can't stand the speed of a startling horse. While narrowly avoiding the horse's hooves, the sleeves of his coat were worn badly even his elbows.

The little doll didn't understand what was going on, she just felt that it was so exciting to be held by the big brother just now. So, he didn't even eat the sugar gourd, and opened his arms and shouted to Luo Tingchen: "Big brother, come again, come again." ”

Luo Tingchen was full of black lines, but he didn't care about dealing with the wound, and said patiently to the little doll: "This is not playing, you are dangerous outside, go find your father and mother." ”

Before the words landed, a man with five big and three thick grabbed Luo Tingchen's neck, and looked vicious: "Your horse frightened the child and damaged my family's things." Lost money, two hundred taels of silver. ”

"The strong man misunderstood, the frightened horse was not under it."

"It's not yours, you sacrifice your life to save people? Since you are so noble, you simply lost your losses together. ”

"The strong man laughed, how can there be such a reason?"

"To pay or not to pay?" The man's vicious face became even more ferocious: "If you don't lose money, you don't want to leave today." As he spoke, several strong men stood up in the crowd and surrounded Luo Tingchen.

This is obviously slander, and reasoning will definitely not work.

As the time for the start of the Wenhui was getting closer and closer, Luo Tingchen saw the carriage he knew walking this way. He blushed and untied the jade pendant on his waist and handed it to the man: "Xiao Ke didn't bring any silver when he went out, so give this Hetian seed jade to the strong man, and then bring money to redeem it?" ”

As long as he takes the jade, whether he waits for him to redeem it or sells it, Luo Tingchen doesn't worry about finding him and settling the account.

But the man slapped the jade to the side and said fiercely: "Cash, not a cent less." ”

"That's embarrassing." Luo Tingchen also darkened his face: "What are you doing, I don't know?" If you don't leave, let's go to see the official? ”

"You be careful."

The man snatched Luo Tingchen's jade pendant, and then ripped off another string of eighteen sons, and then took the person away.

Roman, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, had already revealed his identity to the shopkeeper and wanted two strong guys. The strong man left, and the little guy fell up.

and warmly invited the crowd who hid on the side to watch the excitement: "Let everyone be frightened, the little woman is willing to be the east and invite everyone to drink tea to make amends." ”

Who doesn't want to take advantage of it, not to mention that this girl who wants to be the head of the injustice is quite eye-catching. So, Roman invited everyone into the drunken incense building next door to 'Linxi Jiuli'.

Before leaving, Roman and his brother exchanged glances: do things separately, and when you're done, let's clean up the bullies.

As soon as he turned around, he suddenly found a familiar figure in his eyes that swept towards the crowd. If you look closely, it is the silver cinnamon next to the prince. The prince's people were mixed in, but they didn't squeak, is this a coincidence or does it have some deep meaning?

Roman quickly turned his head and didn't dare to look at it again, but his heart was ping-pong and couldn't calm down.
