Chapter 219: Dowry Turmoil
Lin Feng originally wanted to introduce Liu Tian to his family, so he also said directly: "This is Miss Liu Tian, she came to the capital to participate in a competition, so now she is temporarily living in our Hou Mansion, you and the people under you will tell you that in the future, you should treat Liu Tian girl like a young lady in this Hou Mansion, and you can't be lazy, you know?" ”
Now Lin Feng is the heir of this mansion, that is, the future master, so the housekeeper naturally does not dare to slack off, and quickly nodded to show obedience.
After a while, the housekeeper conveyed all Lin Feng's meanings.
After sending Liu Tian to the wing room, Lin Feng was still a little worried, so he only told Liu Tian to rest first, and then went to the courtyard outside.
Because Liu Tian was going to live here for a while, the housekeeper still brought some subordinates, saying that they were going to serve Liu Tian, Lin Feng looked at those subordinates, for fear that they would not serve Liu Tian well, so he said: "She is your future master, if any of you dare to neglect, I will definitely expel you from the Hou Mansion first." ”
Originally, he thought that such a threat should be enough, so Lin Feng turned around and left directly after speaking, but he didn't expect that this sentence would not have any effect at all.
Those subordinates sneered together after Lin Feng left.
"What kind of future master, this Lin Feng Gongzi is really going to inherit the Hou Mansion in the future?" One of the subordinates said this with a sneer.
Another villain also followed: "But no, now the eldest prince is just in trouble, with the ability of the eldest prince, there will definitely be nothing wrong, when the eldest prince comes back, where is there anything about this Lin Feng son?" ”
It was the housekeeper, who didn't say anything along the way, but when he heard them say this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, but he still waited for them to finish speaking, and opened his mouth to warn: "The words you just said can't be said casually, especially not let the young lady inside hear it, if she hears it, she told Lin Feng that Gongzi must have your good fruit to eat!" ”
"Thank you butler for the reminder." The two gossipers also kept their mouths shut.
But in their hearts, Liu Tian is just a wild woman who doesn't know where she came from, and she doesn't deserve their service at all, so she is also perfunctory when she does things.
Liu leaned into the house, but there was nothing she needed help with, just some salutes to be put down, but she could do these things herself, and she had already cleaned up before these subordinates came.
And by the time the housekeeper brought these subordinates, Liu Tian was already ready to rest.
"Miss Liu, I found these people for you to serve you according to Gongzi's instructions, if you have any orders, you can let them do it." The housekeeper's attitude didn't see anything wrong, and Liu Tian didn't care much, just glanced at the subordinates twice.
"Thank you butler, butler bothered." Liu Tian didn't prepare any more purses, and in that purse was all the broken silver she had, and it would be inappropriate to take out the big silver tickets in her pocket now, so Liu Tian thought that she would go to the money bank later to exchange some for a reward.
The two subordinates saw that they couldn't get any meeting gifts, and they only felt more and more despised for Liu Tian.
When they came out, their faces weren't very good.
"Lord Housekeeper, look at it, such a stingy woman, if she really becomes our housewife in the future, won't she lose the face of the Hou Mansion?"
The butler didn't get any benefit himself, so he just said softly: "Okay, you can say a few words." ”
Everyone knows what kind of temper this butler has, he just said this softly, not a scolding, that is, the butler is just walking on the surface. So these two subordinates said even more powerfully, and they couldn't wait to drive Liu Tian out.
It's just these, the housekeeper won't take care of it, this young lady, she doesn't have the ability to control her subordinates to buy people's hearts, so she wants to be the head of the Hou Mansion, and she doesn't look at what kind of background she is!
As the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, he has always felt that he is superior, after all, not everyone can take the position of the housekeeper, and the master of the family has given grace, and now he can be regarded as a good person, not a slave, so he has always felt that he is superior in many circles.
Listening to the two subordinates along the way, the butler's heart was not to mention how comfortable it was.
It was not early now, and after Liu Tian let them out, he cleaned up the bed himself, and then lay down on the bed directly.
On this day's travel, she was really tired, so as soon as she got into the bed, she was a little sleepy.
However, before Liu Tian could enter the dream, he heard a knock at the door.
Liu leaned up, rubbed his eyes, put on his shoes and slowly walked to the door: "Who?" What's the matter? "Although I know that this is the Hou Mansion, for Liu Tian, this does not seem to be much different from the inn.
A woman's voice came from outside the door: "Hello sister, I'm Lin Yuan, I'll come to see my sister." ”
Liu Tian was stunned, Lin Yuan? Isn't this the young lady to be married in the third room of the Hou Mansion? When she opened the door, she saw a woman with exquisite makeup standing in the doorway.
After letting people in, Liu Tian lit a lot of lights in his room: "Miss Lin Yuan, is there something wrong?" ”
Lin Yuan found a place to sit down, and then glanced at his maidservant, who put a brocade box of her own on the table.
"When I heard that my sister was coming, I wanted to come and see her, and it just so happened that I had a new bottle of expensive perfume, so I also wanted to come and taste it with my sister." As she spoke, she glanced at her maidservant, who stepped forward and opened the brocade box, and inside was a very delicate ceramic bottle, with a lid, which looked very similar to the nozzle of some modern perfumes, but it was not made of metal, but it was made of wood.
Liu Dump became interested in such delicate wood products.
"This is my sister's new two days ago, and I've always been reluctant to use it, do you want to try it?" As he spoke, Lin Yuan got up and picked up the bottle, and sprayed it directly at Liu Tian, and the faint fragrance of iris rushed to Liu Tian's nose.
It's a nice smell, but Willow doesn't really like perfume, so she doesn't have a lot of interest.
Lin Yuan saw that Liu Tian's expression was indifferent, so he began to say: "My bottle of perfume was brought back from overseas by the nobles in the capital, and this kind of taste can be regarded as the most luxurious taste in the capital, if my sister likes it, I will give this perfume to my sister." ”
Liu Qian knew that most of this girl liked this perfume very much, and when she evaluated the perfume, she not only wanted to show off something, but more importantly, she had a faint love for the perfume.
So Liu Tian didn't want to win people's love: "Miss is serious, I don't know much about these perfumes, I just think it smells good, if Miss gives me this perfume, it will be a waste of good things, so it's better to use Miss herself, Liu Tian thinks, such a fragrance and Miss temperament are very compatible." ”
She thought that it was good for her to say this, to satisfy the girl's vanity, but what she didn't expect was that Lin Yuan's face suddenly became a lot darker, and her brightness seemed to be disguised.
"You really don't want my perfume?" Lin Yuan said this, and saw Liu Tian nodded, her face became even more ugly: "Do you think this perfume is not good?" ”
Liu Tian hurriedly said: "Miss misunderstood, it's true that I don't have any deep research on these things, so I'm afraid of ruining good things." ”
Lin Yuan frowned at this time: "Then you just don't want to help me do things?" ”
As soon as this sentence came out, Liu Qian chuckled in her heart, she finally understood, the reason why Lin Yuan came to her at night and brought such a good thing, in the final analysis, it turned out that she was asking for her.
"Miss Lin Yuan, do you want Liu Tian to help you do something?" Liu Tian put away Fang Cai's somewhat panicked look, she originally only thought that Lin Yuan was here to make friends with her, originally she didn't know what Lin Yuan's character was, she only thought that she couldn't lose face if she rejected her, so she would be like this.
But unexpectedly, it turned out that she wanted to use such a thing to make herself short-handed, so as to help her do things.
Seeing that Liu Tian calmed down, Lin Yuan only felt that this woman didn't seem to be so easy to control, if the average woman knew that this was a perfume brought back from overseas, and the smell of this perfume was really good, she would definitely be very happy to accept it, but she didn't expect Liu Tian to refuse.
She thought about it, but she only felt that Liu Tian was mostly illiterate, but seeing her resolute attitude, she could only think about whether Liu Tian already knew her intentions, but didn't want to help?
Now looking at Liu Tian's appearance, Lin Yuan no longer pretended, and said directly: "Lin Feng said, you are the future housewife, so I want you to do me a favor, help me talk to Lin Feng, and let Lin Feng give me more dowry, after all, I will get married soon, if there is not enough dowry to press the bottom of the box, my heart will always be unstable." ”
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Liu Tian again, this time she put away her hypocritical smile, and her face was domineering, as if Liu Tian was just a subordinate who wanted to help her do something.
"Heh," Liu Tian sneered: "Miss Lin Yuan, you also said, this is a matter of your Hou Mansion, I am just an outsider, what can I do?" I don't know what Lin Feng said to you, what is the head of the Hou Mansion, I haven't thought about it, and I'm not right now, so it's not my turn to be an outsider to take care of the affairs of the Hou Mansion, right? If the young lady wants more dowry, go directly to Lin Feng, what's the use of coming to me? ”
"You!" Lin Yuan was so angry that he raised his hand and pointed at Liu Tian and wanted to say something, but seeing Liu Tian's indifferent look, he really didn't know what to say to refute.
"Miss Lin, please." Liu Tian directly issued an eviction order, can't she hide if she can't provoke such a person?
