Mrs. Wang, who saw the letter at the time, almost fainted out of anger. However, it was still because of this incident that he was seriously ill and stayed in bed for a few days.
In the past few days, Bai Ling happened to be sick at home and did not come to the palace to report in time. And those jealous servants in the palace took this opportunity to spread rumors everywhere.
When it got to Mrs. Wang's ears, it turned out that Bai Ling used her good looks to seduce the master of the palace and cheated the master of twenty taels of silver for no reason.
And Mrs. Wang, who was already dizzy and dizzy because her son had a broken sleeve, heard that someone had cheated her family of twenty taels of silver for no reason, which added fuel to the fire and made the situation worse.
Although their family is a well-known landlord in the neighborhood, after all, the twenty taels of silver is not a particularly small number. Moreover, although their sons are sitting on tens of millions of wealth, they will not give them a penny, and everything still depends on themselves.
Coupled with the unlucky heavy rain this year, the palace has already suffered heavy losses, and there is no extra spare money to spend.
And the cheated twenty taels of silver was like a thorn in Mrs. Wang's heart. If it weren't for Master Wang these few days, in order to sell the surplus food that he had hoarded as soon as possible, he would have been so busy that he would have no time to go home. This Mrs. Wang must have a fight with him.
At this moment, in the courtyard of the palace.
Lush autumn chrysanthemums bloom very gratifyingly. All of them are full of petals, delicate and charming. Even in this cool and solemn autumn day, he is still firm and upright, showing no signs of decay. It's no wonder that some people list this chrysanthemum as one of the four gentlemen.
It's just that the more colorful the flowers bloom, the more it complements the gloomy face of the person in the gazebo.
In the gazebo, Mrs. Wang was leaning on a chair sleepily. His complexion was a little pale, as if he had suffered from an illness. And the brows that were locked together were like two sharp arrows turned upside down, extremely sharp. Even the maid who was watching from the side felt extremely bad. It's just that due to my status as a servant, I can't say much.
"Ma'am, it's getting windy outside, I'd better help you into the house to rest earlier. In case your body is exposed to the wind and cold, it will be even more uncomfortable at that time."
The maid on the side kindly reminded.
Mrs. Wang was obviously thinking about her own affairs, and didn't notice what the maid said.
The maid originally wanted to continue speaking, but not far away, Director Hu's voice came over.
"Madam, my servant Bai Ling is here to pay my respects to Madam."
Director Hu's voice was a bit loud, even in this open garden, the voice could be heard far away, and he immediately pulled Mrs. Wang back from her meditation.
At this moment, Mrs. Wang is obviously a little irritable. Frowning tightly, she asked the maid beside her with some displeasure, "Bai Ling, who is it? Why don't I remember that I have recruited servants into the mansion during this period of time?"
The servant girl explained respectfully: "Ma'am, you don't know something. This Bai Ling is the one who has been rumored by servants recently."
"Huh?" Upon hearing the servant girl's words, Mrs. Wang became furious.
"Okay! It turned out to be the vixen who cheated our family of twenty taels of silver! How dare you come to my door, see if I don't teach her a lesson!!"
"this… … "
The maid next to Mrs. Wang couldn't help but feel ashamed... The version Mrs. Wang listened to seems to be different from the version she heard, isn't it? Could it be that there are some other hidden secrets in it
The servant girl couldn't help but guess in her heart, but after seeing the expression on Mrs. Wang's face, the servant girl still quietly put away the little activities in her heart, so as not to provoke the master to get angry.
At this moment, Mrs. Wang's eyes were sharp, and she was burning with anger, her pale face turned rosy with anger. The whole person is no longer in the sickly state before. Don't say that she is a sick person at this time, but say that she is a young man full of energy and blood, and no one will believe it.
It seems that this stingy power is really powerful. It can actually make a weak patient regain vitality in an instant.
Mrs. Wang sat firmly in the gazebo, watching Director Hu bring the man in front of her in two steps.
And when Mrs. Wang saw Bai Ling for the first time, she was already deeply shocked by Bai Ling's appearance.
Although the man was wearing ordinary servant clothes, his fair, handsome, delicate and handsome youthful appearance was an alluring appearance that she had never seen in her life.
Her clear and clean skin made even a noble lady who thought she took good care of her skin feel ashamed and dwarfed by it. Compared with it, it is simply a sky and an underground. Besides, this person is not a woman, but a man. This made Mrs. Wang feel jealous for no reason.
Not only Mrs. Wang, but even the maids on the side, after seeing Bai Ling, felt that their world seemed to brighten up. There are pink peach blossoms everywhere, falling from the sky one by one.
At that moment, the servant girl felt her heart beat inexplicably faster, and two patches of blush appeared on her face for no reason.
That was a feeling she had never experienced in living for more than twenty years. The servant girl only felt that the sky was falling apart, the sun and the moon were in front of this person, and she lost her brilliance.
It wasn't until Mrs. Wang snorted coldly that the maid suddenly woke up from her own world. Those fluttering peach blossoms also quietly dispersed. It's just that those two blushes after shyness still lingered on her face.
Mrs. Wang frowned, her sharp eyes wished she could see through Bai Ling.
"Why is it a man? Isn't it a woman?" Mrs. Wang frowned and asked Mr. Hu.
Manager Hu who was asked had a blank look on his face.
That expression of being stunned was like writing "Ah??" blatantly on his face.
Rao has thought about many questions along the way, thinking about Mrs. Wang's questions to Mr. Hu, but he really didn't expect Mrs. Wang to ask him such a question.
joke? How the hell did I know he wasn't a woman. I didn't recruit people here, so don't ask me if you have anything, just ask Master Wang.
Manager Hu secretly criticized in his heart, but on the face he said respectfully: "Uh... this villain doesn't know either. The villain only knows that this is Mr. Wang who called his name personally and said that he wants me to take good care of him and help him a lot."
Mrs. Wang still didn't move her eyes from Bai Ling's face and said: "I heard that he cheated the master of twenty taels of silver?"
This time, Manager Hu was dumbfounded again.
Um? Didn't they all pass on two taels of silver before? Why did it become twenty taels when it came to Madam
Manager Hu secretly said in his heart: "It seems that I really have to find some time to teach those people in the mansion who like to gossip about their tongues a lesson."
Manager Hu explained to Mrs. Wang: "Ma'am, you misunderstood. This little brother Bai did not cheat Mr. Wang of his money, let alone the twenty taels of money. It's just that little brother Bai came to our house that day. , looking for an errand, happened to meet Mr. Wang, and Mr. Wang rewarded him with only two taels of silver."
"Really?" Mrs. Wang asked.
Mr. Hu said: "It's absolutely true! If you don't believe me, you can wait for Master Wang to come back, and you can ask Master Wang yourself!"
Mrs. Wang nodded and said, "No need!"
Manager Hu has been working in their house for so many years, and she has always been watching him. Since he said so, it must be true.
It's just that her miserly little thoughts are still at work quietly. Although it was changed from the previous twenty taels of silver to two taels of silver. But this silver is, after all, silver. And as long as it is silver, in the eyes of Mrs. Wang, there is only money in and nothing out. What's more, he still gave away two taels of silver for nothing
And for some reason, Mrs. Wang felt inexplicably panicked when she saw Bai Ling's appearance.
As for why this happened, she didn't know until later.
But right now, what she cares most about is Bai Ling's monthly money.
"Well, since it's the money given by Lao Wang, I don't have much to say. But, how much is his monthly salary when he comes to work with us?" Mrs. Wang pretended to be indifferent, but in fact she cared. to die.
And in the palace, how could Mr. Hu, who had experienced many battles, not know Mrs. Wang's thoughts at this moment.
Now, she's probably already thinking in every possible way in her mind how to squeeze Bai Ling's monthly money, exploit his labor force, and suppress all his living expenses in the mansion.
However, Mrs. Wang might be disappointed this time.
Not to mention that Bai Ling was hand-picked by Master Wang and asked him to take care of him. Just talking about the kit he brought over, Manager Hu would never let Bai Ling suffer.
After all, this is what my former benefactor asked him to do. And he is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, so there is absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter.
Director Hu cupped his hands at Mrs. Wang, seemingly humble, but in fact he could not be refuted: "This... Brother Bai's monthly money is said by the master himself, two taels of silver a month, and try not to make things that are too heavy and tiring. work."
"What!!"
Mrs. Wang sat up from her chair in a jerk, and pointed at Mr. Hu: "You, you, you, say it again?"
Manager Hu was neither humble nor overbearing, and repeated the words just now.
At that moment, everyone present clearly felt that Mrs. Wang's body seemed to be hollowed out. The whole person seemed to have lost his soul, his eyes were empty.
Afterwards, Mrs. Wang cried and cursed regardless of her image.
"Ouch! I'm a mother! Wang Fugui is a prodigal bastard! It costs so much money to hire a servant! And he won't let him do any heavy work! I'm a mother!!!"
Mrs. Wang's face changed very quickly, and the entire back garden howled for a while felt desolate.
"I've been married to him for so many years! He treats me better than a servant! I'm a mother!!!"
Bai Ling, who had been standing by the side without saying a word, glanced at Mr. Hu in embarrassment, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Hu, what should we do now?"
Manager Hu signaled him with his eyes, telling him not to worry, just leave everything to him.
