Chapter 187: The Butler's Experience
The capital of Lu State, the Spring and Autumn City. [Ran^Text^Library] []
This is probably the most populous city in the world, with a large number of foreign people coming in and out every day, and there has been no accurate number, counting the population of Spring and Autumn City, there are more than 8 million people registered alone.
Spring and Autumn City is also the only city in the world that spans both sides of the Tongyuan River, the longest river in the world that divides Spring and Autumn City into east and west, and the width of the river that passes through the city is less than 20 kilometers.
Due to the large population and the wide area, the Spring and Autumn City did not have city walls and gates, and the checkpoints set up on the main roads into the city only collected gate taxes for bulk goods.
The largest population, the largest chamber of commerce, the most envoys from various countries, the most spies, etc., the title of the cleanest and most beautiful city is widely spread on the mainland.
King Lu's Palace, in a palace.
A woman in a brocade dress is painting, and the appearance of a man is on the snow-white drawing paper.
Gorgeous hair, emaciated cheeks, and piercing eyes.
The woman was so good at drawing the man's face on paper that she could draw it very clearly.
A silver bell-like laugh came from behind the woman, "Isn't this the shopkeeper of the 'Touran Inn'?" A palace maid who was less than twenty years old came behind the painting woman with a snack.
"Okay, you poor girl, be careful that I punish you with palace rules. The woman feigned anger.
"Please punish Xiao Rong for breaking Xiao Rong's legs, Xiao Rong doesn't have to accompany the princess out of the palace without permission, a broken leg is better than losing his life. Xiao Rong put down the snack and pretended to be aggrieved.
"Don't worry, this princess is not uncommon to break your legs, don't accompany me out of the palace, hum, I will reward you to the groom. Princess Lu Guo pretended to be ruthless.
When Xiao Rong heard this, although he knew that he was scaring her, his face still showed a look of horror, and he shouted: "Princess, don't scare Xiao Rong, Xiao Rong would rather die than marry a groom, Your Royal Highness Princess, when are you going to leave the palace and leave?" Xiao Rong will arrange arrangements for you immediately. β
Princess Lu Guo laughed and said, "Hahaha, this is almost the same, as long as you are obedient and obedient, how can this princess be willing to reward you to others." β
#### #δΈι¦ζ£ε¨ε€΄ηΌδΈθ΄’ηεδΊ, Ding Kun came to the county seat.
"Young master, leave the marriage of such a slave to the old slave, so don't bother with this. There are still many people with you, and if you intervene in everyone's marriage, you will not be able to do this kind of thing in the future. Ding Kun learned about Ding Cai and Bai Jiyin, so he hurried over from Xiaxi Town.
This is a matter of protecting the face of the Marquis Mansion, and only the housekeeper is the most suitable to deal with it. Jiang Shunchuan's days with Ding Kui have not been short, but after all, he is still young and inexperienced, so it would be good if this kind of thing happened without adding to the chaos.
Ding Kun is worthy of being the steward of the Marquis's Mansion who has seen the world, not only is he strong, but his means of handling family affairs are also extraordinary.
He quickly set a date for Bai Jiyin to pass the door, and immediately spent a lot of money to buy the "Kejia Teahouse", and then sold it to Shi Heng, turning it into a silk cloth shop. Then he sent someone to go from house to house, privately checked, and eliminated Bai Jiyin's past marks step by step.
During this period, he even sent his apprentice Ding Zhong, who often haunted at night, and there were a series of missing cases in the county town, all of whom were idlers who had nothing to do and liked to chew the root of their tongues.
This hand was very ruthless, and the discussion of the Protector's Mansion disappeared overnight, and everything seemed to have never happened.
Lao Ma is an idler who likes to talk about people's rights and wrongs, and he has nothing to do before he has a family in his thirties, and he is idle on the street all day long.
Now he is hiding at home in fear and does not dare to go out, for no other reason, Li Ergou, an idler like him, has disappeared since yesterday morning. Everyone has speculations in their hearts, but no one dares to say it, for fear that the next person who will disappear will be themselves.
In the middle of the night, a black shadow floated into the old horse's house, and the old horse, who had never dared to close his eyes, turned over and got out of bed, knelt in front of the black shadow, and kowtowed while saying: "The good man spares his life, the good man spares his life, the villain, the villain, and he will never dare to chew his tongue in the future." β
"Bang", a small money bag was thrown in front of the old horse, and the black shadow said: "Here are ten gold coins, you take the money and disappear immediately in Pingzhong County, if you stay in the county town after dawn." The black shadow threw another thing to the old horse, "Hmph, take a good look, this is the end of disobedience." β
The old horse hurriedly took the thing, and when he looked at it, his hands trembled with fright, and the thing fell to the ground, and it turned out to be half of a human tongue.
"That's right, Li Ergou is just disobedient, you can guess how he is now. Finally, I warn you to leave the county town quickly, and you can't say a word to anyone. After speaking, the black shadow jumped out of the door and disappeared into the night.
The old horse picked up the money bag and opened it to see that it was indeed ten gold coins. He hurriedly put it in his arms, didn't bother to pack his luggage, and ran out of the door. Of course, he didn't have anything of value at home.
After the black shadow came out of Lao Ma's house, he turned around and circled a few times, and finally came to the side gate of Ding's mansion.
Ding Kun stood in the patio connecting the middle courtyard and the backyard, and the black shadow came to the butler's side, ripped off the black cloth covering his face, revealing Ding Zhong's still very immature little face.
"How's it going?" asked Ding Kun in a low voice.
According to the information provided by Qian Jun, everyone has been dealt with. Ding Zhong lowered his hand and reported.
"Well, go out to inspect in the past few days, and if anyone dares to talk about the Ding family, don't tell me, kill them all. Ding Kun said indifferently.
"Yes. β
Today is the day of Ding Cai's marriage, he tidied himself up, and accompanied by the guard Lao Guo, went to the headquarters of Yanhuang Magazine in the county town, ready to pick up the bride.
As soon as Ding Kun arrived in the county seat, he immediately arranged Bai Jiyin to Yanhuang Magazine, where the families of many magazine editors and reporters lived, and there were female dependents who could accompany Bai Jiyin all day long, which could not only stabilize her emotions, but also watch her.
The wedding was presided over by the housekeeper, no outsiders were invited, the woman had no relatives, and as for the friends, they were all excluded, and only the people of the Ding family were present.
As the acting head of the family, Ding Kui showed his side, toasted the newcomer with a glass of wine, and completed his mission.
According to the housekeeper, Ding Cai is a slave, which is already the highest standard of treatment that a slave can receive.
Since then, Bai Jiyin has become a member of the Ding family, and as soon as she enters the door, she has a work arrangement - deacon Fengcha, or Ding Kui's personal order.
The deacon of Fengcha is responsible for managing the tea leaves of the Houguo Mansion, storing all kinds of tea in different categories, and declaring the purchase amount every month according to the quantity consumed to ensure the supply of vegetable leaves in the house.
After leaving the capital, the Ding family did not have such a fine division of deacons, and most of the things were done by the housekeeper alone. Bai Jiyin used to open a teahouse, and she was a professional, so she was just qualified for this position.
After Bai Jiyin took office, she was still busy, because guests came to the door one after another to thank Ding Kui for saving his life.
"Shanyou, why are you here too, are the injuries on your feet healed?" Ding Kui greeted today's guests in front of the living room.
"Thank you so much, if you hadn't replaced me in time, this injury wouldn't have healed so quickly. Shan You said to Ding Kui sincerely.
Being bitten by a demon rat is indeed troublesome, it has a more or less demonic aura, which will prevent the wound from healing and constantly erode the human skin and bones.
After Shan You was replaced by Ding Kui and returned to the high platform, he was treated in time so that the wound did not worsen.
"We are comrades-in-arms when we fight side by side, and you will help me too, won't you? So don't be so polite, we have to train together and go to the state competition together, we are all our own brothers." Ding Kui invited Shan You to sit down in the living room.
"I can't help you, although your fighting spirit cultivation is not as high as mine, just that eyesight and that sword speed, I am far behind. Besides, if your family hadn't arrived, who would have been able to guarantee that you would have escaped in the motch? Shanyou shook his head.
"How old is Senior Shanyou this year, among the players in the county, you, Ji Xing and Xu Yan are the three who have been promoted to the Blade Knight, this is not a simple matter. Ding Kui didn't want to show off his family's affairs, so he changed the topic.
"You'll be sixteen next month, I heard that you're not even fifteen, according to my estimation, you'll be able to break through in less than three months, our ability is nothing to you. Shanyou shook his head again.
In the face of this perverted guy, Shan You couldn't find confidence anywhere, only a bunch of sighs.
Ding Kui gave Shan You a thumbs up and said, "You have a good eye, you can see very accurately, in two months, I can indeed hit the bottleneck of the Blade Knight." By the way, do you know what kind of special training we're going to do?"
"I don't know exactly, but there's one thing I do. The Guild will arrange for knights and samurai who are stronger than us and have been on the battlefield to take turns fighting us. It is said to improve our ability to resist pressure, to become familiar with the feeling of being suppressed, and to improve our ability to find opportunities to counter-attack in the midst of disadvantages. "As the son of the city lord, Shanyou has some inside information.
This training content made Ding Kui feel very bored, and said with low interest: "Anti-pressure training, what's so strange about this, I often practice at home, and there is no opponent at home that I can beat." β
Shan You looked at Ding Kui with envy on his face and said, "I once heard my father say that your family's guards are among the first-class elites in the entire Zhongwangzhou. The commander of the whole army is the division commander of the Eighth Army Corps, and he is the elite of the elite of the Shaodian ** team.
With their guidance, it is something that many people can't ask for, and special training or something is certainly not uncommon in your eyes. It's a different story for us. β
At this time, Ding Cai came from outside and stopped outside the living room to report: "Young Master, Nie Ling from Furnace City and Black Earth City ask to see you." β
"Coincidentally, you won't be able to make an appointment, will you? Hurry up and invite them in. Ding Kui had to get up from his seat and walk to the front of the living room again.
