Chapter 19 The Old Servant Disappears
Ye Shaoqing said: "Your Majesty, you know that the fifth princess, Xiang Rong, is also a great beauty who can overwhelm the country and the city. I heard that the emperor will call the number one scholar in this imperial examination to be his son-in-law."
Feng Ce opened his eyes and looked at him.
It just so happened that the system sent a judgment: the host has one more chance, please cherish it.
Feng Ce pursed his lips, feeling quite disappointed, and Ye Shaoqing's mouth was chattering like a motor, which made Feng Ce feel agitated. He looked around and saw that there were no empty tables, so he endured it. No table change.
It just so happened that Yuwu came back, and said cheerfully, "My lord, I quietly let them serve our dishes first."
Sure enough, someone came to serve food after a while. Feng Ce was not very surprised that Xu Benxu was not on the list, but was panicked about the wrong guess.
Feng Ce ate, Yu Wu and Ye Shaoqing watched him eat, Ye Shaoqing looked okay, Feng Ce could ignore it, Yu Wu standing behind him made Feng Ce feel that there were two light bulbs hanging behind him, so he turned his head Looking at Yuwu: "Hungry? Sit down and eat together."
Yuwu nodded vigorously and sat down immediately.
Ye Shaoqing suddenly smiled and reached out to pinch Yuwu's face: "The little guard is quite cute."
Yuwu immediately lowered his face and frowned, snorted coldly at Ye Shaoqing who was still smiling, and began to concentrate on eating.
Ye Shaoqing looked at Yuwu with his chin in his hands: "Didn't you just eat it two hours ago, why are you so hungry?"
"Have we known each other for a long time? I still don't know your name, little guard."
"Little guard, are you good at martial arts, why don't you follow me, isn't it boring for your family to talk so little?"
"Have you ever heard of that super powerful Xu Yilan, who learned essays at the age of three and held a sword at the age of five, is a famous child prodigy."
Yuwu knew he was drunk and ignored him.
Feng Ce suddenly became interested and said, "He is determined to win three yuan in a row."
The drunk man showed his stupidity: "Since ancient times, there have only been two people who have won three yuan in a row. As expected, they are the people I have admired since I was a child."
Feng Ce: "If you are determined to learn, you might be like him."
Ye Shaoqing waved his hand: "When I opened those scrolls, my eyes became sore. Finally, my parents stopped forcing me. I don't want to touch them again."
Feng Ce stopped talking nonsense with him, and after eating to fill his stomach, he got up and went back to Hou's mansion.
After Feng Ce left, Yu Wu also left. Ye Shaoqing knew that he was a little drunk, so he didn't drink any more. He grabbed the folding fan and went to the counter. Room, another month."
A teenage boy standing at the counter looked at him and said seriously: "Mr. Xu's house, you have continued until next month."
Ye Shaoqing winked at him: "He and I are best friends, we have tried it, and we have to wait half a month for the palace exam, don't worry."
As soon as Feng Ce returned to the mansion, the door opened, Jing Feng led people waiting on both sides to greet him, there was no such battle before, Feng Ce didn't know what Jing Feng was doing, so he saw people coming up to him with a smile .
Feng Ce looked at these strong men, and said to him as he walked, "I have a good vision, and the people I selected are all in line with my requirements for Fubing."
Seeing that people praised him, Feng Ce continued: "Divide these people into three teams, and then make the three into a small team. The three teams take turns to rest and inspect the inside and outside of the mansion. The people in each team that are not scheduled to inspect the day can rest. Mu, Hugh and Mu also take turns."
Jing Feng shook his head: "Your Majesty, we don't need to rest."
Feng Ce was quite helpless, and told him earnestly: "They are different from us. They can't work hard all day without rest, so no matter how strong their bodies are, they will be exhausted."
"There is another thing. The pool in the entire backyard garden has not been cleaned for nearly ten years. Yuwu will bring a group of people tomorrow. You will personally supervise the work when the time comes, so there should be no accidents."
Jing Feng responded.
Feng Ce: "You go down and make arrangements. During my time in Yongdu, the safety of my family will be entirely entrusted to you."
Hearing this sentence, Jingfeng raised his dejected head, and suddenly he was full of energy: "This subordinate will definitely fulfill his mission!"
After Jingfeng left, Feng Ce was about to order Yuwu to see if the group of beggars he rescued a few days ago were looking for work, when he saw Jingjue walking over with a book.
Feng Ce stopped, and Jing Jue handed over the book: "Your Majesty, this is a problem in the account books of the Hou Mansion."
For the past ten years, Jinling has allocated 100 taels of silver every year. If there is any problem with the money, there is no need to worry too much about it. Feng Ce wanted to let him handle it by himself, but thinking that if this is the case, Jing Jue will not disturb him, so he stretched out his hand Take over the ledger.
Holding it in one hand, Feng Ce opened it with the other, and found that Jing Jue had already neatly copied down the problematic accounts, so he didn't need to look at the problematic accounts circled by the red pen one by one.
Soon, Feng Ce realized what Jing Jue wanted to remind him: there are still three old servants left in the house, but since seven years ago, only one person has been paid on time every month.
Feng Ce closed the account book, looked up at Jing Jue: "Did you check why?"
Jing Jue: "The subordinate speaks after looking at the other masters."
Feng Ce looked at Yu Wu: "The three old servants from before, call them to the front hall, I have something to ask them."
Yuwu: "Yes."
Feng Ce took the ledger and turned to go to the front hall, Jing Jue immediately followed.
Not long after waiting, Yuwu came running, sweating profusely, and said, "My lord, everyone is gone!"
Feng Ce originally wanted three people to say that they would get a share of money and then divide it up. Feng Ce would not doubt it, because the money that one person got was enough for a dozen people, but Yu Wu said that it was gone, so the matter was not simple.
Feng Ce confirmed several times: "Have you searched all over the mansion?"
Yuwu: "I've looked for them, and the servant girl said that I haven't seen them for several days."
Feng Ce rolled the account book into a cylinder and held it in his hand, then threw it to Jing Jue beside him, and said coldly, "Let Jing Feng find him within three days."
It was indeed Jingfeng's dereliction of duty that the person disappeared, so Jingjue didn't say anything, and left with the account book. Just as he was walking to the gate, Feng Ce stopped him again.
"If you don't find Jingfeng, you have to give me an explanation," Feng Ce's tone softened a lot, Jingjue turned around and was about to answer, when he continued, "Tell him also that Yuwu will bring you back in a few days. People come to clean the pond in the garden, and no matter the age or age, they just need to do the work, and you will be paid daily wages."
Would a real Demon Venerable do this?Jingjue's drooping brows and eyes were full of doubts and thoughts, thinking of the night when Mozun came back from the dead.
That night, Jing Luo wanted to take advantage of the death of the Demon Lord to ascend to the Demon Lord's position, so she was bumped into by the resurrected Demon Lord. But he yelled the words "he is not a lord, but a person from Shangyunfeng".
Jingjue collected her thoughts, followed Feng Ce's orders, and left with a low eyebrow.
Yu Wu looked at Feng Ce full of doubts, and Feng Ce was also looking at him. Before Feng Ce could speak, Yu Wu asked, "My lord, where can I find someone tomorrow?"
Feng Ce asked him: "Do you remember those beggars last time?"
Yuwu nodded.
"Go and see if they can find any errands to do. If they don't find them, they all call the Hou's mansion to clean up the pool. They give them a tael of silver a day. In addition, they ask the maids to steam more steamed buns and make more dishes."
Yu Wu was so shocked that his jaw dropped: "Your Majesty, we hide them in the mansion to work, and then send them to the Demon Building, don't we have to treat them so nicely?"
Feng Ce said, "It's for Jing Feng."
"Previously, most of the affairs in the Demon Realm were arranged by Jingluo, and Jingfeng was helping. I thought he could do well without Jingluo, but in the past few days in Yongdu, I can see that he lacks experience. The safety of Moyu depends on him, so I thought of finding a few things for him to do."
Yu Wu immediately nodded in approval: "Your Majesty is very thoughtful!"
"You will go outing with me on the lake tomorrow."
"Don't worry, my lord, I will follow you well!"
The spring breeze is warm and the vegetation is green. Behind Liuhu Lake is a grassy suburb. Many children are flying paper kites, chasing them around, their faces flushed.
A long-branched willow was planted on the embankment of Liuhu Lake every few steps. The newly grown willow branches were extremely tender, so Feng Ce went to Liuxie in the spring breeze.
Liuxie is built by the water, and half of them are high platforms built in the water. When Feng Ce left, only Ye Shaoqing and his book boy were there. The fish in the water are scrambling to come first.
Seeing Feng Ce coming, he smiled and threw out all the fish and food in his hand, and said, "Your Majesty came early."
Feng Ce nods his head: "I've had breakfast and I have nothing else to do, so I'm here."
Ye Shaoqing saw Yuwu following Feng Ce with a sharp eye, carrying a food box, and asked with a laugh, "What did you bring?"
Feng Ce looked back at Yuwu, and said, "Some pastries."
Afterwards, Ye Shaoqing went to grab the food box in Yuwu's hand, and Feng Ce stood aside to look at the scenery. After a while, he heard a small conversation coming from the corridor leading directly to Liuxie. He looked sideways and saw that it was Wen Bie and Xu Yilan, What is behind them.
Since Xu Yilan searched for warmth yesterday, Feng Ce thought of the two of them, and his heart seemed to be blocked by a tree branch, but he couldn't think of any reason to be blocked, and felt relieved.
Maybe it was Xu Yilan's attitude towards him yesterday that made him worry.
Ye Shaoqing seemed to know Wen Bie and He Yang already, and when he saw them coming, Le Diandian ran over to greet them.
Feng Ce turned around and saw Yu Wu standing silently behind him, Mie Yang saw Feng Ce and raised his hand to say hello, very happy: "Hey! Your Majesty, you are here too."
Yuwu murmured "Tigress" in a low voice.
Hearing this, Feng Ce suppressed a smile and nodded to Mie Yang.
"cousin!"
Suddenly a shout made Feng Ce follow the sound to look over, and he saw Prince Zhao Jingchen calling him from a distance, very excited, beside him there was a man, as gentle as Yu Qianqian, wearing almond yellow clothes.
After Zhao Jingchen shouted Feng Ce, he immediately realized that he was disrespectful, he immediately shut his mouth and lowered his head, and quietly looked at the expression of the person beside him, as obedient as a quail.
Feng Ce didn't expect Zhao Jingchen to come, so the man next to him should be Tai Fu Qiuluo, whom he has never met.
Liu Xie immediately became lively.
Zhao Jingchen first followed the Taifu for a while, then ran to Feng Ce's side looking for an opportunity: "Cousin, why are you here too?"
Feng Ce: "At the invitation of Mr. Ye."
Zhao Jingchen pulled Feng Ce to a corner, and asked him quietly: "Cousin, last time Father didn't make things difficult for you, did you? I heard that you came out within less than half a stick of incense time."
Feng Ce said: "Just look at me and let me go back home. It's nothing, so don't worry, aunt."
Zhao Jingchen was puzzled: "Father really didn't say anything?"
Feng Ce: "I didn't say anything."
Zhao Jingchen looked at Feng Ce half-believingly, Feng Ce patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Jiaer didn't bring an escort out this time?"
Zhao Jingchen said with a smile: "Go out with the teacher, nothing will happen, and my cousin and Mr. Fu are here, even if someone wants to attack me, they will not be able to do so."
