The two girls entered the room, the little one closed the door, closed the curtains, and the room was suddenly dark, and then she lit another candle, and then sat on the edge of the bed, swaying her little feet, and said slowly: "Do you know the way? Now although the teacher is getting richer and richer, there are more and more enemies, but unfortunately except for the two white sisters, no one else can help him anymore, so I want to help the teacher, and combat ability is also one of the important conditions used to measure whether a woman is a virtuous helper. ”
Linda's eyes widened, although she couldn't quite understand what the little guy was saying, but she felt that the way the little lady spoke was very knowledgeable and temperamental, and it was a field that she, a slave, would never touch.
Sith didn't care if the other party understood her words, she continued: "Linda, if you have a special ability, how do you want to help the teacher? ”
"The master is a soul thinker, although he is very smart, but his body doesn't seem to be very good, I heard that soul thinkers can't even beat ordinary men." Linda remembered the rumors she had heard from the villagers: "So I want to protect my master and not let others hurt him." ”
As long as it is human, they all have jealousy, but they only distinguish between big and small. Although Chen Xiansong has a good reputation in Graystone Village, he is also the main object of discussion among the villagers in his leisure time before and after meals, and he is easy-going, unlike other nobles, he has a strong 'deterrent power'. Therefore, in the admiration of the villagers, out of jealousy of his 'Yanfu', there are also some small speculations about him, such as being thin and weak, or whether he can satisfy several women at the same time, etc.
Linda listened a lot, so she believed Chen Xiansong's statement that he was 'weak'.
"The ability to guard!" The little guy held his chin and thought for a while, and said: "Yes, there are, but few people will choose such an ability, after all, many people think that offense is the best defense." ”
But Linda simply didn't know so much weird knowledge, in her opinion. The ability to protect one's kind master is the best ability. The little guy saw the other party's firm eyes, and was a little envious that Linda could support the teacher so wholeheartedly, although now she felt that she would always be on the teacher's side, but the other side was also her clan no matter what, and there were some things that she couldn't do too well.
"It might hurt later!" The little guy walked up to Linda and said in a very strange tone, "You have to endure it, you can't shout it." Otherwise, let others know the truth, and our plan may fail. ”
Linda nodded heavily.
"Also, this method can't be done in a day, it has to be done every day." The little guy reminded, "So, you can't tell the story. Not even a teacher. ”
"If the host asked, I would have said. He didn't ask. I won't say it. Linda said a little slyly.
The little guy was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay, whatever you want, are you ready?" We're going to get started. ”
Linda nodded again.
After taking a breath of some fear, the little one's finger lit up with a little purple light, and then lit up Linda's head. Then the latter's whole body began to tremble, cold sweat rolled down her head, and her lips turned white, but she endured it without saying a word. As a former slave, she had been beaten and hurt even more painfully, and she felt that the pain was really just ordinary.
At this time, it was noon, Chen Xiansong returned home in a carriage, and as soon as he went up to the second floor, he saw two young girls sweating profusely and walking out of the room wet.
Seeing her master, Linda's eyes lit up, and there was a faint flash of purple light in her pupils, she knelt down on both knees this time, slaves are like this, kneeling other nobles are on one knee, even if he is a king, he is also on one knee, but kneeling at his own master must be on both knees, which is a symbol of possessions.
Chen Xiansong now also understood the meaning of this act, he frowned and said: "Linda, I remember that after you came here, I have already released your slave status, why do you want to do this, is it not good to be an ordinary person?" ”
"I will always be the master's slave girl."
Looking at this firm and stubborn black thin girl, Chen Xiansong sighed, and then said: "Get up and talk again, you came to me, shouldn't you just call me a master, is there anything difficult you want me to help deal with?" ”
"No, master, I live a good life now, I have food and clothing, ten thousand times better than before." Linda looked at Chen Xiansong gratefully, and then continued, "I have a very important thing to tell you, there is a maid in the castle who betrayed you, and she told someone else about you. ”
Linda then recounted what she had seen. Post-human memory is generally good, and Linda's simulated voice and demeanor are vivid. After hearing her words, Balf turned around and was about to drag the village woman in, but Chen Xiansong suddenly stopped him.
"Wait, Balf, don't mess around. Although she revealed the things in my study to others, she resisted a greater temptation and did not try to steal my belongings as Chen Guangrong said, and there was still a bottom line, so let her go, just warn her. ”
Balf frowned and said, "But master, if you don't punish her, with this precedent, the people in the village will think that you are a bully and think you are weak, and they will not take you seriously in the future." ”
"Deterrence doesn't have to be aimed at a weak village woman, sometimes we can punch a big bug with a few punches, and the effect will be better." Chen Xiansong said: "You can secretly warn the village woman, and then transfer her out of the castle, although I don't have any confidential information to hide now, it doesn't mean that there will be no in the future; The tavern is about to be built, so you can arrange for her to do chores in the tavern. ”
Chen Xiansong thought for a while and continued: "Actually, what really interests me here is the Chen family next door...... Balve, you'll come up with royal jelly in a moment, and you'll help me with a word...... In the future, the supply of snow salt will be reduced from 250 kilograms a day to 200 catties, and as for the reason, if you let them think for themselves, they should figure it out. ”
Hearing this, Balf smiled. He felt that his master was becoming more and more calm, and he was becoming more and more compelled by a high-ranking nobleman.
After Balf left, Chen Xiansong looked at Linda and said with a smile: "Well, this incident is thanks to your report, otherwise maybe I will have greater losses or more serious things in the future, it seems that the family will have to strengthen security in the future...... Linda, have you had any difficulties in your life lately? ”
Linda shook her head vigorously, she felt that it was really not right to let the master care about her life, it was too troublesome for the other party.
"Teacher, can I teach Linda literacy in the future?" The little guy took the opportunity to come up and be coquettish, but she didn't dare to pounce on Chen Xiansong anymore, after all, the girl began to grow up and learned some necessary knowledge of men and women: "I think she is very smart, smarter than Alex and Jessica, and I have no problem teaching one more person." ”
"Yes, of course." Chen Xiansong didn't care what the hell these two little guys were doing. In his opinion, this is a good thing, children should have playmates of the same age, he was only accompanied by Sister Bai when he was a child, and he never knew what it was like to have friends to mess around with, which caused him to lack social skills to a certain extent, so he didn't want the little guy to be the same as himself.
On the other side, according to Chen Xiansong's order, Balf came to Chen Zeyi's door with several guards and two cans of royal jelly.
Although the exterior of this castle is in the style of Kate's kingdom, the furnishings in the room are full of Aurora atmosphere, with golden silk nanmu, small round stools, vermilion beams and columns, and golden borders, carved animals and birds, and vivid carvings of doors and windows...... Unlike the unpretentious and practical, unpretentious and practical characteristics of the Kate Kingdom, the nobles of the Aurora Kingdom preferred luxurious and beautiful furniture.
Although Balf used to be a mercenary, but he has been running around in the Kingdom of Kate, and has never been to the Kingdom of Aurora, as soon as he entered the door, he was shocked by the gorgeous decorations here, and after a few seconds, he saw Chen Zeyi's expression that seemed to be smiling, and immediately knew that he was out of shape, and he made a joke, so he quickly lowered his head and said: "Your Excellency, the master asked me to send you two cans of royal jelly produced at home, and Your Excellency is extremely concerned about my master, this is a thank you gift." ”
Chen Zeyi is also an 'old Jianghu', so naturally he heard that there was something in this, and he frowned: "Your Excellency Balf, thank you for the gift, and also convey it to Your Excellency Chen Xiansong for me, thank you very much for his kindness." Chen Zeyi gestured, let his servant accept the gift, and then continued to ask: "There is a saying in our Aurora Kingdom, if you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, Your Excellency Chen Xiansong sent you, what advice do you have?" ”
"The master said that in the future, the daily supply of snow salt will be reduced from 250 kilograms to 200 kilograms." Balf bent over and said slowly.
Chen Zeyi stood up abruptly, pressing his hands on the armrests of the Taishi chair, very hard...... He quickly realized his gaffe, then slowly sat down again, took a sip of warm tea, and asked slowly: "Since we have made a contract, why should His Excellency Chen Xiansong regret it?" Unauthorized modification of the terms of the contract. ”
Fifty kilograms of snow salt doesn't sound like much, but if it is calculated on a monthly basis, it will be less than 1,500 kilograms of snow salt in a month, and according to the current public price in the market, that is, they will earn about 1,500 gold coins less every month...... This number is enough to make several small aristocratic families fight and lead to feuds. Although the Chen family is also a big family, they don't want to bear this loss!
Balf saluted and said, "My lord has asked me to tell your Excellency: 'Guess, I'm sure you can guess why.'" ’”
After finishing speaking, he bowed again, and after the etiquette was exhausted, leaving no one with a truth, he slowly turned around and left. And Chen Zeyi sat on the Taishi chair, his face full of iron. (To be continued......)
