Chapter 1297 Willing to be an ugly girl 24
The chief steward came in and knelt down to salute.
Xining copied the book: "I came just in time. Are my tables and chairs ready?"
The big manager was stunned, really building such a thing? This thing looks weird, just like the butcher's chopping board in the village. Every time I go to buy pork, the butcher cuts the slaughtered pigs into pieces and sells them on it.
Of course, I can't say that I haven't done it yet, I can only find a reason: "The things that Miss uses are naturally better. We are still rushing to make them!"
"It seems you are still too busy. I happened to ask Akui to help you, so let her handle this matter." Xining stopped writing and looked at him: "Is there anything else?"
The chief steward was speechless for a moment, but he couldn't let it go. So he started talking: "I am the chief steward sent here by the Taoist Master. Does the lady not trust me by doing this?"
Xining thought for a while, put down his pen, and stood up: "Of course not, I'm tired of writing, and I just happened to go out for a walk. I wonder if you would like to accompany me to the yard? You know I just arrived. Soon, I didn’t go to many places.”
I didn’t go to many places and went to the kitchen every day. But those dishes were cooked in weird ways and tasted good.
"What a great honor." The chief steward stood up and followed him grovelingly.
Xining walked slowly in front, followed by A Ling and other maids. Walking into the yard, the servant with a knife squatting there saw him and took the initiative to follow him. This is their job, to follow their master.
Xining strolled leisurely: "I remember that you were recommended by Mrs. Lunzi before, so you were sent here."
"Miss Zunzi also knows?" The chief steward was even more confident. Since he knew that he was Mrs. Lunzi's man and was sent by the Taoist Master, he should withdraw his orders.
Yes, in the memory of the body owner, this manager is very rich.
The chief steward was slightly proud of himself: "Thanks to Mrs. Lunzi's respect and the trust of the Taoist priest, it has been five years since I sent the younger one here. The younger one has worked hard and never slacked off..."
Xijing listened quietly, walked to the cherry blossom tree, stopped, curled up the corners of her mouth, and turned around: "You, stand there and don't move!"
Then he took two steps back, smiled and took another two steps back: "Stand still."
"Miss Zunzi, what do you mean?" The chief steward stood there, a little confused as a monk.
Xining still smiled: "Someone, take him down!"
The two servants with knives were stunned. Aling next to her reacted quickly: "What are you doing standing still? Didn't you hear me?"
The Taoist Master said that they all listen to Miss Zunzi. So the servants went up and escorted the steward, one on the left and the other on the right.
The chief steward struggled a few times to no avail, raised his head and asked in shock: "Miss Zunzi, what are you doing?"
Xining turned around with his back to him: "I'm going to write a letter. You gag him, tie him up and send him to my father."
"Miss Zunzi, Miss Zunzi, misunderstanding, everything is a misunderstanding, I didn't do anything, Miss Zunzi... wuwuwu..." The servant with the knife had nothing to gag for a while, so he took off his socks. , stuffed it into the mouth of the boss, and pushed it down.
It happened that the cherry blossoms were blooming at this time. Xining looked at the newly blooming cherry blossoms on the tree and couldn't help but regretted: "If I want to write a letter, I have to stop reading it first."
Miss Takashi actually tied up the chief steward... When Zaemon arrived, the miss just put down her pen and was stuffing the letter with rough edges into the envelope.
"You came just in time. Go back and give this letter to my father and that guy." Xining dropped candle water on the seal, cooled it slightly, and handed it to A Ling. Looking at the letter handed to him, Zaemon nodded sharply and took the letter.
"Also, this matter must not be spread out, especially to his family, to prevent him from fleeing with his family." Xining handed another letter to A Ling: "Please give this letter to my mother."< br>
Zaemon was stunned for a moment, then bowed again and took the letter, then stood up and left in a hurry.
That night, two fast riders arrived at Fujiwara Residence in the dark. A large sack was thrown from the horse. From the constant movement and the muffled sound inside, it could be roughly judged that there was a person inside.
"Is the Master here?" Zaemon strode in, followed by the servant behind him carrying a sack.
Michichi Fujiwara took the letter, opened it and read it. After washing off the lead powder on his face, his expression became increasingly ugly. Finally, he slapped his thigh violently and shouted at the big steward who was tied up and had a sock stuffed in his mouth: "How dare you do this! Send him to the government and punish him strictly." Interrogation. Make him spit out everything he eats.”
Immediately, two servants with knives came forward and dragged the man who was paralyzed with fear out.
As stated in the letter, the chief steward has a property outside, with hundreds of acres of good farmland. There are also two private houses, both of which have outer rooms.
The rest is not written, but a smart person will immediately know how it is possible for Yueyin, who is a big manager, to have so much money to buy land and raise an outhouse in just five years.
There is no need for the chief steward to say anything, just take him to the government office. Anyway, he only needs to say hello and everything can be pried out of the prisoner's mouth.
Zaemon took out another letter: "This is a letter from Miss Takashi to Mrs. Akiko." As a domestic servant, he must be loyal to his master, and his master is the Taoist priest.
Michichi Fujiwara took the letter, but there was nothing written on the envelope. After hesitating for a moment, he still asked someone to call Mrs. Akiko. He can take it apart and look at it first, but there is no need. Mrs. Akiko came to read the letter. As long as he wanted to know, Mrs. Akiko didn't dare not tell him.
After Mrs. Akiko opened the letter, she just read it and said: "Zunzi said that this manager is not doing well. She sat for a long time reading and her legs were a little painful. She asked for a slightly higher table to be made, but after a few days it still didn't work properly." It wasn’t done well. I don’t know if he was so negligent when serving Xian Xin, so he sent it back to the Taoist Master..."
Mrs. Mingzi paused and suddenly understood something.
Her son Xianxin went for an outing at that time, but he ended up at the Monk Temple and became a monk. By the time I found out, my hair had fallen out and it was already too late. And this guy seemed to have been sent to the village not long after this incident, less than a month. I heard it was recommended by Mrs. Renzi!
Suddenly I was so angry that my hands were shaking, and the letter was shaking like the leaves in the autumn wind.
Mr. Fujiwara also heard it. If he couldn't hear this, the decades of officialdom would have been in vain.
He frowned slightly. The house was really restless. There were no less fights at home than in the palace.
But he still said happily, as if he didn’t know what to do: “What’s written at the end?”
Mrs. Mingzi could only hold back her anger and continued reading: "Zunzi said that Akui is my old man. He works steadily and has no sons. He can take over the position of chief steward. Please give me my instructions."
Mr. Fujiwara nodded: "Well, it's good for Takashi to do this. What do you mean, madam?"
Mrs. Mingzi comforted her heart with sorrow: "This person was sent by your Excellency at that time, and it is still up to you to make the decision."
Fujiwara Michinaga then said: "I have arrested this person into the government because of his corruption, and he will be interrogated strictly. As for this position, since Takashi said that Aoi can do it, then Aoi should try it."
