502: C502 It Was Easy to be a Butler

C502 It Was Easy to be a Butler

The eunuch's heart was tied to Xiao Yun, so he quickly left the palace and rushed to the Xiao Mansion. Just as he was about to read the imperial edict, he found that the number of carriages at the door had decreased significantly.

He realized that things were not good, so he quickly grabbed one of the people and asked. Only then did he know that Xiao Yun had already received the gifts!

Those who did not enter now were actually waiting for time.

Xiao Yun did not reject anyone.

No matter who gave the gifts, those with high reputations or bad reputations, he would accept them all.

This frightened the eunuch.

He wanted to find Xiao Yun and ask him about it, but after thinking about it, he hurriedly returned to the Imperial Palace and told the Emperor about this matter.

In his view, Xiao Yun was a young man who did not know what was right. He had done something wrong, so he had to quickly ask the Emperor to think of a way to save him. At least in terms of reputation, he had to try his best to save him.

When His Majesty heard this, he was really angry.

He thought more than the eunuch.

He knew that Xiao Yun really did not lack money to accept gifts. He was afraid that Xiao Yun had used some kind of method to force him to accept gifts.

"When you went, did you see anything special? Something different from other families' gifts?"

The eunuch quickly thought for a moment and said, "There is one thing that is different. Usually, when you give gifts, it is the butler who takes the invitation card. There are also some workers who follow behind to deliver the goods, as well as guards and the like. But this time, the one who gave the gifts is... They are all half-grown maids who carry the invitation letter to deliver gifts. "

" Half-grown maidservants? "

" That's right, it's very strange... "

When the eunuch said this, he was suddenly stunned.

Then he said with a bitter face, "This old servant understands, these gifts are really... He had found Saint Xiao's weakness. This old servant had asked before. Those maidservants said that if he could not send them out... If Saint Xiao did not accept them, it would be their fault. When they returned, they would be punished. At first, there were a few who were crying. When the old slave left, he was beaming with joy. They knew that Saint Xiao was soft-hearted and used such a move. It was really... Sigh."

His Majesty was stunned for a moment before he sighed and said, "This guy just doesn't know how to hide his true strength. If we were to talk about the things he has been doing these days... Others can naturally see some of it. Back then, for the sake of Ling Long, that little girl... He directly started a fight with Old Four. After that, he left and left the maidservants. When the ground moved, the maidservants would also be the first to run away. When he went outside, he didn't know where he had picked up a young girl. Who didn't know where his weakness was? Who wouldn't take advantage of him? Sometimes, even if Xiao Yun felt wronged, he would swallow it. He can protect the bigger picture."

The eunuch said with a bitter smile, "But this way, I'm afraid Saint Xiao's reputation will be..."

"Trash! This little beast is trash! Where did his usual strength go? Where did his usual swift and decisive actions go? That bastard who valued women and men. Back then, so many people had died. Hmph! Originally, he had hoped that the Qin Country would finally produce a saint, which would allow the Qin Country to hold its head high for once in the world. However, he did not care about this brat at all! Wasn't the Emperor not in a hurry to become a eunuch? Pooh! Pooh! This metaphor is not appropriate!"

His Majesty was truly infuriated.

The eunuch also sighed and said, "Actually, he only needs to wait a little longer. When His Majesty's decree arrives, this matter will be resolved."

His Majesty shook his head and said, "How can it be that simple? Nothing has changed, even if His Majesty's decree arrives. When those maidservants return, there will still be punishment. They knew what kind of girls Xiao Yun cared about. In the past, they would definitely be obedient and cute. They would make him unable to bear with the new arrival and the decree. Actually, they are all the same. He will definitely take them in."

The eunuch smiled bitterly again.

As expected, even if His Majesty was extremely angry, he still had to speak to Xiao Yun. This was perhaps His Majesty's attitude all along.

To be honest, it was a good thing for Xiao family to accept their gifts.

Its contribution was too great and too heavy. If Xiao Huai'en accepted the gift, His Majesty only needed to say a few harsh words and this matter would be settled.

His Majesty would be even happier.

But Xiao Yun this fellow...

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The more he thought about it, the more helpless he felt.

It was as if Xiao Yun had already lost his chance to become a Saint in the future.

At this moment, Xiao Yun was discussing something with Fox Eye.

Actually, Fox Eye had come here to seize power.

She realized that Ling Long was the most powerful woman in the Xiao family.

This guy is rich!

Money, good stuff, copper coins and fabric. Whoever she said she would give it to, that was who she would give it to.

No matter how much she says she will give it, she will give it to him.

Fox Eye did not know that she had offended Ling Long because of a small matter. At that time, she really treated her as a servant and ordered her around.

This fellow was also sinister. He did not say anything at all, but after the matter, he directly made things difficult for her.

The maidservants by his side changed from three to one. The clothes that he washed every day also changed into clothes that only came once every three to four days. What was even worse was that his pocket money had decreased every day, and the quality of his food and drink had instantly dropped by several tens of thousands!

How could she tolerate this?

She naturally had to go and cause trouble.

In the end, she understood that Ling Long was the chief steward.

Xiao Yun didn't care about what she said or what she decided.

And in order to ensure her authority, no matter what she did, she couldn't cause a ruckus at Xiao Yun's place.

Fox Eye also knew that she was the one who came later, or was tied up and sent in. Her status was not good, and her foundation was unstable. She was also embarrassed to act coy with Xiao Yun.

So she thought of a rotten idea.

As long as she snatched some work from Ling Long and took care of some matters, wouldn't everything be solved?

Then, she would manage more and more things. In the end, she would manage the entire Xiao family. She would become the chief steward of the Xiao family!

Therefore, while Xiao Yun and Ling Long were together, she would take the opportunity to snatch the job away from them.

After Xiao Yun heard her thoughts, he was delighted.

He didn't directly agree, but asked Ling Long, "What do you think?"

Ling Long was naturally very obedient in front of Xiao Yun.

She nodded gently and said that it was all according to Xiao Yun's arrangements, but at the same time, she also asked someone to bring over an account book.

"This is the simplest and most common account in our family. It involves the daily expenses of each courtyard, and the redeployment of servants. The kitchen. The materials entering and exiting were all trivial matters. But he couldn't ignore it. If there was a flaw, then there would probably be a commotion between the various rooms. This servant had offended a small matter. If a few rooms did not get along because of this matter, that would be this servant's fault. Hence, generally speaking, she could not make a mistake. Since Big Sister wants to interfere, there is no harm in leaving it to her. This servant has also become idle and secretly laze around. "

Although Ling Long's words were neither Yin nor Yang, Fox Eye was still extremely happy.

She hurriedly pulled the stack of paper over.

"Then I will care!"

After flipping it over and looking for a while, he asked with a blank expression, "Which one is the account you were talking about?"

Ling Long smiled and said, "Both of them."

"Er..."

Fox Eye widened her eyes into a pair of grapevine eyes.

"These... are all? "

"This is a month's worth of time. Coincidentally, we need to calculate the spring expenses. Elder sister, please take a good look at this account, and use this as a countermeasure to plan for the next three months of expenditure. As long as there's a big difference, then everything will be fine. After that, we'll just adjust it according to the situation. "

"Adjusting... Adjusting?"

"Oh, right. I almost forgot to say, isn't Great-Grandfather Fang coming back? The expenses in the front yard had to be increased appropriately. There were also those who had returned with Great-Grandfather Fang. We also need to make arrangements for accommodation and cash. The treatment they received during normal days could not be any worse. After all, they are all meritorious officials. There's also... "

"Stop!"

Without waiting for Ling Long to finish, Fox Eye hurriedly stopped her.

Her head hurt when she heard it!

She was not stupid and naturally knew that Ling Long was making things difficult for her.

This kind of thing... could she accept it? Would she dare to accept it?

If she failed to do it properly, she would probably be punished.

He didn't know if Xiao Yun liked to hit the board or something else.

"There is no such thing as simple... Cough cough, isn't it that important? After all, I just took over, so I have to take it step by step. "

"Oh, so that's how it is. In that case, you just need to know how many people eat every day. No one generally eats as much as they want to understand the taboo of everyone in the courtyard. For example, Aunt Ye cultivates Buddha. There can't be meat and meat in the dishes, but the young master said we can eat eggs. But they had to keep the eggs of the old hens that were kept in solitary cages. They had to be collected every day. They could not let those peddlers pretend to be ordinary eggs. If Aunt Ye ate meat, then... She probably wouldn't be able to restrain herself from hitting people with her Buddhist heart for several tens of years. Also, you have to know that you have accounts for the daily firewood and ingredients. Chef will more or less be a little greedy, but as long as it's not too much, it's fine. We have to keep them under control, and... "

" Stop! And, something smaller. "

Fox Eye gritted her teeth in anger.

Ling Long was stunned.

Then she smiled bitterly and said, "Sister must think that Sister is making things difficult for you. She specifically found something that is not easy to do for you to do. But you see, this is the Xiao Mansion, one of the top big sects in Qin Country. The more people there are, the more things there will be. Plus, the young master has been making his business bigger and bigger during this period of time. Now, everyone in the world is watching, as long as there is a slight disturbance in the family... It would be infinitely magnified outside. For example, the young master got a bottle of good wine. He gave it to Older Sister Qing'er but did not give it to Older Sister Yueling. When they went outside, it would become the Xiao family and Leng family not getting along well. The young master and Leng Guzhu would soon become enemies. Therefore, if he did something wrong, it would be easy for something big to happen. The butler not only had to care about the diesel, oil, and salt, he also had to care about the garlic and garlic. How many people were there in this family? Everyone had family and friends outside, so how could they defend against their mouths? Those are the eyes of the world!"

Fox Eye was completely stunned when she heard that.

She did not expect things to be so complicated.

Ling Long said again, "I also know why elder sister insisted on taking care of things on a whim. This is also because I reduced your case money. I transferred your maidservants away and even reduced your food and drink. That's why you have such an idea, isn't it? Actually, Elder Sister really thought too much, or rather, she thought too much. The reason why her sister did that was because her young master was about to participate in the royal court, whether it was potatoes or other things. The young master had to walk out of his house and face the entire world! Recently, the people of the martial arts world in the capital had been making too much noise. If the Xiao family served you well, sister... Now that he had neglected Elder Sister, his younger sister had to help the young master avoid arousing suspicion. After all, the young master normally doesn't care about his behavior. It is very easy for his enemies to make use of him."

Fox Eye was stunned on the spot.

She really did not think of so many things. She also never thought that the housekeeper would be such a troublesome matter.

After hearing Ling Long's explanation, she understood that the Jianghu that she had always thought was not that difficult. Such a high school was also part of the Jianghu, and it was even more difficult than the Jianghu that she had come into contact with.

Why were the things that she had come into contact with so simple and simple?

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was all because of her master.

Everything was settled by her master. He was only responsible for the happy life, that was all.

That so-called freedom was at the cost of her master's tiredness and responsibility.

This feeling... was very bad.

It was so bad that she wanted to cry.0

Xiao Yun looked at the two of them at the side and touched his nose. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's not talk about those things that make people unhappy for no reason."

He could indeed say such words.

Because Xiao Yun did not care about these things.

It was all these people who came down to take care of it for him!

Xiao Yun looked at Fox Eye and said with a smile, "Actually, I once knew a very powerful person."
