Chapter 53: The Transaction Goes Smoothly
Hearing the maid's words, staring at the maid's expression, and making sure that the spring water had no other taste, the maids all rushed to try to take a sip.
"It's really a mountain spring, I've drunk it before, and it tastes exactly the same." A maid sighed, "Looking at the lives of rich people, they are different from us." ”
"yes." A maid next to her sighed, "We haven't even tasted the taste of mountain spring water, but the eldest lady and her wife have begun to use mountain spring water to bathe and compress their faces." ”
"Don't talk about other medicinal materials, just talk about mountain spring water." Not far away, a maid pointed to the spring water in the barrel in an exaggerated tone, "If I could wash my face with mountain spring water from morning to night, my face would be as smooth as an egg." ”
"Alright, alright." After everyone had determined the composition of the spring water, an older maid spoke, "Don't discuss these useless things, hurry up and finish the matter, I still have to go out shopping, and I will buy some food by the way, you don't want to go out for a stroll and have fun?" ”
Hearing her say "go out", the other maids were reminded, and their hearts also moved.
Yes, there are many dreams at night, what if I keep the raw materials and semi-finished products by my side all the time and are discovered?
And even if it is not discovered, if the herbs are damaged because of improper storage, the money will not be available.
Thinking of this, the maids put away their playful thoughts and began to work seriously, but after two quarters of an hour, they mixed the spiritual spring water and the mashed herbs evenly.
After everything was done, a maid ran out to greet Liu Yanxue.
She and Liu Yanxue walked into the study with a few small wooden barrels: "Fourth Miss said, put all the skin care products into these small wooden barrels." ”
"Okay!" Maybe it was because of the betrayal of Liu Yanxue, the maids felt guilty, or maybe it was because they wanted to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion as soon as possible, the maids all came forward enthusiastically, took the wooden barrel in Liu Yanxue's hand, and quickly filled the barrel with skin care products.
"Put the barrels in the storeroom, and you can rest." Liu Yanxue bowed, and then took them to the storeroom and placed the wooden barrels neatly in the shade.
Hearing that it was time to rest, the maids all left the Prime Minister's Mansion as if they had wings on their backs, and each went to the agreed place to present the raw materials and semi-finished products stolen today.
Ling'er also quickly arrived at the agreed place.
She knocked on the door nervously: "Is anyone there?" ”
After a few breaths, footsteps came from inside the room: "Password." ”
Ling'er pursed her lips, knocked nervously on the door, and knocked twice in a row.
After confirming the code, the people in the house opened the door and silently let Ling'er into the house.
It was a middle-aged man who opened the door to her, and there were several young maids sitting behind her, and when she saw Ling'er coming, one of them smiled: "You are the Ling'er girl that Miss told us, right?" ”
Hearing the words "Ling'er girl", Ling'er's heart was refreshed.
But she still smiled reservedly on the surface, waved her hand and refused: "No, no, I'm just a maid from the Prime Minister's Mansion, you can just call me Ling'er." ”
"Okay, Ling'er." One of the most lively maids jumped up to Ling'er and asked her what she was here for, "Since you came to us, did you get your things ready?" ”
Ling'er came this time in order to hand over the things in her arms.
So Ling'er nodded without hesitation, turned out the small box in her arms, and handed it to the maid in front of her: "This is a semi-finished product that I stole when I was making skin care products." ”
"And these." She pulled out an oil-paper bag from her bosom, and inside the package was a few herbs, "These are the herbs needed to make skin care products." ”
"Wow, that's a lot." The maid was startled and spoke, "Sister Ling'er, you are too powerful, Miss was worried about you before, thinking about whether to let you go on an adventure, but you not only got things, but also got so much!" ”
Listening to the maid's praise for her, Ling'er was very useful, and her originally vigilant expression gradually softened a lot.
"Hurry up, give her the rest of the money first." The lively maid urged the steady maid behind her, and then grabbed the money bag, counted the money inside, and slapped it directly into Ling'er's hand, "Sister Ling'er, these are two hundred and seventy taels, a lot." ”
Ling'er poured out all the silver in the money bag, checked it carefully, and after making sure that the amount of silver was enough, she breathed a sigh of relief and put the money bag away.
Since the other party gave the money so happily, Ling'er didn't mind giving a message.
"I have one more piece of news." She smiled and glanced at the maids present, and when she saw that they all showed angry and nervous expressions, she waved her hand very generously, "If you don't take your money, it will be regarded as a gift from me to Miss." ”
"Wow, Sister Ling'er, you're so nice." The lively maid's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly leaned against Ling'er's side, her voice full of admiration and admiration, "You actually know so many things." ”
Worship is a trick that works wonderfully not only for men, but also for women.
At least Ling'er was very happy, she reached out and touched the maid's head, and slowly told her about today's harvest: "Fourth Miss mixed skin care products, the water used is the top spring water in the high mountains, I secretly took a sip and found that it was very sweet and cool, but I don't know which mountain spring water." ”
Ling'er's tone was very calm, but after hearing the news, the expressions of the other maids were not so calm.
"This message is useful." There was a maid's face that instantly became serious, she was afraid that she had misremembered the words, and she deliberately pulled a piece of paper from the side and wrote down what Ling'er said on it with charcoal.
"When we go back, we will tell Miss all the credit for your achievements, and Miss will definitely reward you with a lot of things at that time." After writing down what Ling'er said, the maid raised her head with a serious face and spoke firmly.
Seeing that she should be a maid who has a lot of power to speak next to Miss, Ling'er hurriedly showed a slightly flattering smile: "Thank you." ”
After saying everything, Ling'er returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a daze with almost three hundred taels of silver.
With so much money, what can she do?
After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion along the trail, before Ling'er could properly calculate the use of the money, she was intercepted by a few five big and three rough little guys: "Fourth Miss has something to do with you." ”
"What's the matter?" Ling'er's heart trembled, and she had bad thoughts in her head, she looked at the little guys in front of her tremblingly, "Big brother, I bought a lot of things, can I put the things back in the room first, and then go with you?" ”
She planned to hide the money so that she wouldn't be found.
But the few little guys in front of her looked cold and hard, and they didn't give her any room for negotiation: "Go!" ”
She was held down by a few servants and forcibly taken to the yard.
Ling'er glanced at it and found that there were several maids kneeling in the yard piecemeal, and she was very familiar with these maids, because in the afternoon, everyone had just conspired to steal the raw materials for skin care products.
"Fourth Miss, here comes another one." After forcibly pressing Ling'er to kneel on the ground, the little girl respectfully reported to Liu Yanxue.
"Hmm." Liu Yanxue nodded lightly, and her eyes swept over Ling'er casually, but Ling'er's whole person was like falling into an ice cave, and she didn't even dare to breathe too hard.
After another quarter of an hour, the two maids were also pressed into the courtyard.
"All the people are together." The little maid counted the number of maids in the yard, and after making sure that there were enough people, he looked at Liu Yanxue.
Liu Yanxue responded, asked the little maids to retreat to the side, and then quietly looked at the maids kneeling on the ground.
"Do you know what you're doing wrong?" She spoke calmly.
Her tone was so calm that Ling'er didn't hear the slightest displeasure or anger in it.
But if Liu Yanxue found out that they were stealing raw materials for skin care products and destroying her industry, she would definitely be furious, and she would like to cut them with a thousand knives, right?
Could it be that they have done something wrong and that little things have happened?
Ling'er's mind moved slightly, guessing that it might be that the skin care products were not handled well, and something went wrong, so Liu Yanxue reprimanded them?
Not only Ling'er thought so, but many of the maids present also thought so.
So a maid tentatively raised her head, while carefully looking at Liu Yanxue's expression, she coughed lightly, pretending not to know anything: "Fourth Miss, the slave really doesn't know what she did wrong, the slave just went out to buy something to eat, and didn't dare to do anything else, and asked the fourth lady to make it clear." ”
"Fourth Miss ......" a maid next to the song and harmony, "The slave has been kneeling on the ground for almost half an hour, but the slave and maid have been thinking about what they have done wrong from morning to night, which will make the fourth miss thunder and angry, and I hope that the fourth miss will say it clearly, so that we can kneel here with doubts." ”
"yes, yes."
may be because they have money in their hands and backers behind them, and since then they have the ability to settle down, many maids no longer maintain the respectful duties of the young lady and the maid when facing Liu Yanxue, and there is a bit of dissatisfaction and disdain in their words.
"The slaves and maids will continue to work tomorrow, if they kneel on the ground today, something goes wrong with their knees, and if they don't work hard tomorrow, it's not good for the young lady, and it's not good for the production of skin care products, isn't it?"
Listening to the words of the maids, Liu Yanxue sneered.
"You think I don't know anything?" She waved her hand coldly, and directly ordered a group of maids who had been prepared not far away to come up, "Search!" ”
The reason why she asked the maid to wait at the door, once the maid came back, she would bring it directly to her, in order to be able to search her body better.
Hearing that they were going to be searched, many smug maids struggled.
"Fourth Miss, although you are the master, we have not done anything wrong, why should we search our bodies?" A maid spoke unconvinced, while secretly protecting a small money bag on her chest, which contained the reward she received for selling the raw materials for skin care products.
