Sure enough, Lu Xiaoshu saw that his babbling was not on point, so he coughed and said: "Sincerity is not just words, it has to be acted on, what do you think?"
"Yes, yes, what the girl said is true!" Even if Lu Xiaoshu said that the sun is square, Housekeeper Liao would immediately agree.
Lu Xiaoshu said unhappily: "How many people have you bullied? How many people have you taken advantage of? Then pay quickly!"
"Compensation! Compensation!" Steward Liao nodded hurriedly, and finally came back to his senses, "Ah?" After a sound, he finally suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "What the girl said is true, what she said is true, this old servant will definitely change his mind from now on. , don’t dare to act recklessly to tarnish the reputation of the family! That painting of the girl,
He gritted his teeth and said: "That is a rare treasure, priceless, the old slave will send the girl 15,000 taels of silver notes when he turns around, and ask the girl Haihan, please forgive me..."
After Mr. Liao said this, although he was heartbroken that he had lost money, but at the same time he felt relieved. The matter of forcibly snatching the famous painting in his hand has always been a thorn in his heart. If he is not punished for it, it is like hanging a sharp sword on his head, which may fall at any time and kill him. worried.
Now that this matter is mentioned, he feels relieved. He won't lose money if he buys a peace of mind.
Anyway, after so many years of plundering countless oil and water, although 15,000 taels is a lot, it can't hurt his vitality.
"You still have some sincerity!" Lu Xiaoshu saw that he was finally on the road with a smile, turned to Zhou Shizhi and said, "This is my private property, you can't confiscate it!"
Zhou Shizhi smiled and said, "Do you think I look like that kind of person?"
Lu Xiaoshu curled his lips and said, "Fortunately, Second Uncle Xue didn't follow! You mustn't tell him, or I won't go back with you! I want to keep the money with me!"
"Don't worry, I won't tell him that!" Zhou Shizhi laughed.
Steward Liao watched from the sidelines, muttering in his heart, secretly wondering what was going on? Not to mention that Jiang's family has countless properties and wealth, and the son's background is not small, he is definitely not a person without money, why is it that Miss Lu is so close to him, even less than ten thousand taels of silver? Who is Second Uncle Xue? Could it be the elders of the son's family
Could it be... this Miss Lu is not favored by her elders, it's just that the young master is outside—
Thinking of this, Chief Steward Liao couldn't help feeling a little contemptuously, couldn't help squinting at Lu Xiaoshu secretly from the corner of his eyes. It just so happened that Lu Xiaoshu glared at him, and stared him away. Housekeeper Liao was startled, and hurriedly looked away.
"It's not just me," Lu Xiaoshu said, "In the past, you took advantage of many people and returned them all to me. This is also a good thing, right?"
"Yes! Yes..." Housekeeper Liao nodded with a perfunctory smile, but he was not so nervous anymore.
"Just listen clearly!" Zhou Shizhi stared at the past coldly, butler Liao's heart trembled subconsciously, and he lowered his head in a hurry, only to hear Zhou Shizhi sneer: "You'd better keep Miss Lu's words in mind, If you dare to obey others and disobey others, you don't have to take the position of chief steward!"
"I don't dare! I don't dare!" Housekeeper Liao hurriedly took back the contempt that had just been born after being taken aback.
He was really dizzy this time. Is this Miss Lu important or not
Lu Xiaoshu ignored him, and smiled at Zhou Shizhi: "It's getting late, I'm so hungry, shall we go have dinner?"
Zhou Shizhi raised his hand to gently smooth her frizzy hair, and said amusedly, "I thought you were full from all the food you ate just now, and you know you're hungry!"
Lu Xiaoshu curled his lips and said, "Why aren't you hungry? Try starving for a few days? I can eat a cow now!"
Zhou Shizhi laughed, and said softly, "Okay, okay, what do you want to eat, let's go!"
"Of course it's meat!" Lu Xiaoshu's eyes lit up immediately, and he yelled, "I just want to eat meat! These days, the clear soup has little water, and my mouth is so pale! Let's go to eat hot pot and order a table full of meat Okay?" She hastily said again: "You told me to invite me, don't play tricks!"
Zhou Shizhi laughed loudly, and sighed, "I have really wronged you these few days! Anyway, since you want to eat, let's eat it! We have to hurry tomorrow!"
After finishing speaking, he turned around and asked the housekeeper Liao: "Where is the best hot pot restaurant in Anyang City? Lead the way!"
Steward Liao was dizzy when he heard their conversation, he was in a mess, wondering what the hell is this girl? The young master obviously indulged in liking her, but what she said was really unworthy of the table!
A girl's family, when it comes to eating meat, her eyes shine, as if she hasn't eaten it for a long time! A man from a family like Young Master can't afford meat
"Ah? Yes, yes!" Chief Steward Liao was still wandering away, puzzled, and when he heard Zhou Shizhi humming in displeasure, he came back to his senses and agreed repeatedly.
"Young Master, Miss! The most famous hot pot restaurant in Anyang City is at the Xuanyang Gate, we have to take a carriage to get there, Young Master and Miss, please wait, wait!" The housekeeper Liao hurriedly laughed along with him.
Zhou Shizhi nodded and said, "Go and find the carriage, we'll wait here!"
"Yes, yes!" Steward Liao quickly agreed to go.
"Why is he out of his mind?" Lu Xiaoshu gave Zhou Shiyi a strange look, and said sullenly, "I told you to invite me, but I didn't ask him to pay me any money. As for that! This cheapskate I knew it was time to slash him hard!"
Zhou Shizhi also felt that Housekeeper Liao was a bit strange, thought for a while and smiled and said, "Take care of him! If it weren't for the fact that he is still useful, Xiao Su and the others would kill him to silence him without my ordering! I'm just as disgusted with this kind of bullying as you are!"
Lu Xiaoshu chuckled, tilted his head and smiled at him: "I can't see that you are quite broad-minded, and you can still use him if you don't like him. Hmph, if it was me, I would rather find someone else." It doesn't matter if it's a little bit unsatisfactory, and you can't use him anymore!"
Zhou Shizhi just smiled when he heard the words.
After a while, Steward Liao and the coachman drove over, and Zhou Shizhi helped Lu Xiaoshu into the car. Steward Liao didn't dare to think that he would be lucky enough to be in the same carriage with the two masters, so he carefully lowered the curtain for them. He sat obediently next to the coachman. Then he turned up the collar and pulled it, lowered his head and buried his face in it—he was still afraid that he would meet someone he knew on the road.
Get off the car at Xuanyang Gate, Liao, the butler, led Zhou Shizhi and Lu Xiaoshu to a restaurant called Dahongfu, and said with a smile: "Master, girl, this is the place! This old slave is going to ask about the building The private room above."
The shopkeeper obviously knew him very well. Seeing him coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, and asked in a loud voice, "Why is Master Liao here alone today? Didn't the servants follow?" He also asked Master Liao to come in person It was really embarrassing to ask Yunyun, so he quickly ordered a mature and prudent big guy to lead him the way.
Seeing Steward Liao and Zhou Shizhi go up, the shopkeeper elbowed the accountant next to him, who lowered his head and dialed the abacus, and was doing the calculation. He leaned over and whispered, "What's the matter with Steward Liao? What do you think?" You don’t look like him anymore? Compared with before, it’s really—hehe, the world is different!”
"I heard that too," the accountant said without raising his head as he continued to flick the beads of the abacus, "The elder of the Jiang family committed suicide in shame, the old lady died of anger, and the second master lost his footing and fell into the water because of his grief. The unreliable third master is in charge of the house. It's no wonder that he wants to restrain himself!"
"Hey," the shopkeeper smiled, touched the mustache on his chin and nodded, "You are right, the third master of the Jiang family is not yet twenty years old, and he is a well-known dandy in Anyang City. He doesn't know anything about flowers, wine, cockfights, butler Liao looks down on him from the bottom of his heart, and I heard that he has made things difficult for this third master before, and he has said openly and secretly, so it's no wonder!"
He said and sighed again: "Oh, what a pity! The richest man in Anyang, now he has gone to be the pillar, and all his wealth has been handed over to such a second-generation ancestor. I don't know how many people are thinking about it! Just wait and see, but some It's fun to watch!"
The cashier finally raised his head, glanced at the shopkeeper, and said, "Not necessarily."
The shopkeeper was startled, knowing that the old guy who has worked with him for many years still has a good eye for people and things, so he smiled with great interest: "Oh? How can you see it?"
The accountant touched his nose, and said lightly: "Did you see the funeral in Jiang's mansion a few days ago? An old lady and two old men passed away. Even if you are a capable person who is used to the family, you have to be in a hurry to deal with it." But look at the funeral of Jiang’s family, they are well-mannered, well-organized, and there is no chaos at all! Hehe, it seems that this third master, if he didn’t just pretend to be stupid in the past, then he has an expert behind his back! No matter what the possibility is, since there is no chaos in the Jiang family at the funeral, there will be no more chaos!"
The shopkeeper couldn't help but bow his head and think carefully, yes, he also went to condolences for the funeral in Jiang's mansion, it was indeed well-organized, everything was orderly, and there was no chaos at all! Those servants were honestly doing their assigned jobs, not even cheating or cheating, and there was no gossip about the servants taking the opportunity to make trouble...
Could it be that Master Jiang San is really so powerful
Or is there really an expert behind it? If so, who would this expert be? It can't be butler Liao, right? Look at what he looks like now, he looks like a cat with its tail tucked up, nothing like it at all...
The shopkeeper thought about it for a long time and couldn't understand it, so he shook his head and sighed, regretting that the excitement could not be seen, and he still greeted the guests.
The hot pot in this restaurant is really good. Lu Xiaoshu finally had his first delicious dinner since he was rescued. It took two hours to end.
Steward Liao was not qualified to dine with them, and he was too embarrassed to stay in the restaurant for fear of bumping into acquaintances, so he went out and sat in a small restaurant opposite, watching the other side and seeing when they would come out.
