268 Guess
The two girls entered the room. The little guy closed the door and pulled the curtains. The room suddenly became dark. Then she lit a candle, then sat by the bed, swaying her little feet, and said slowly: "Do you know? Although the teacher is getting richer now, there are more and more enemies. Unfortunately, no one can help him except the two white sisters. So I want to help the teacher. The combat ability is also one of the important conditions for measuring whether a woman is a good wife."
Linda opened her eyes wide. Although she couldn't quite understand what the little guy was saying, she felt that the little lady was very knowledgeable and elegant in her words, and was an area that she, a slave, would never reach.
Xis didn't care whether the other party understood her words. She continued, "Linda, if you have special abilities, how do you want to help the teacher?"
"The master is a soul-thinking person. Although he is very smart, his body seems to be not good. I heard that the soul-thinking person cannot beat an ordinary man." Linda remembered the rumors she heard from the villagers: "So I want to protect the master and not let others hurt him."
As long as he is a person, he is only jealous, but he only distinguishes his size. Although Chen Xiansong has a good reputation in the village of Graystone, he is also the main object of discussion among villagers in his spare time before and after meals. In addition, he is easy-going and unlike other nobles, he has a strong "deterrent power". Therefore, in his admiration, out of his jealousy of his "blessing", there are also some minor speculations about him, such as being thin, or whether he can satisfy several women at the same time, etc.
Linda heard a lot and believed Chen Xiansong's statement that she was very "weak".
"The ability to protect!" The little guy held his chin and thought for a while, and said, "However, there are, but few people will choose such ability. After all, many people think that offense is the best defense."
But Linda doesn't know so much weird knowledge at all. In her opinion, the ability to protect her kind master is the best ability. Seeing the other party's firm eyes, the little guy envied Linda for supporting the teacher so wholeheartedly. Although she now feels that she will always stand on the side of the teacher, no matter what, on the other side, she is also a member of her tribe. Some things she can't do too well.
"It may hurt later!" The little guy walked to Linda and said in a weird tone: "You have to endure it, don't shout it out. Otherwise, let others know, our plan may fail."
Linda nodded heavily.
"Also, this method cannot be done in a day, it must be performed once a day." The little guy reminded: "So, you can't tell this. Even the teacher won't do it."
"If the master asks, I will say it. He doesn't ask. I won't say it." Linda said a little cunningly.
The little guy was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay, as long as you want, are you ready? We're going to start."
Linda refocused again.
After taking a breath of fear, the little guy's fingers ignited a little purple light, and then he pointed to Linda's forehead. Then the latter's whole body began to tremble, cold sweat rolled down from his head, and his lips turned white, but she endured it without saying a word. As a former slave, she had suffered even more painful beatings and injuries, and she felt that the pain was really just ordinary.
It was already noon, and Chen Xiansong returned home in a carriage. As soon as he reached the second floor, he saw two girls sweating all over and walking out of the room wet.
Seeing his master, Linda's eyes lit up, and a purple light flashed in her pupils. This time she knelt on both knees, and the slave was like this. Other nobles were one knee. Even if he was the king, he still had one knee. But kneeling on his master must kneel on both knees. This is a symbol of everything.
Chen Xiansong now understood the meaning of this behavior. He frowned and said, "Linda, I remember that after you arrived here, I have removed your slave status. Why do you still have to do this? Isn't it good to be an ordinary person?"
"I will always be my master's slave."
Looking at the firm and stubborn black and thin girl, Chen Xiansong sighed and said, "Get up and talk again. You come to me, probably not just to call me master, do you want me to help with any difficult things?"
"No, Master, I live a good life now, with food and clothing, ten thousand times better than before." Linda looked at Chen Xiansong gratefully, and then continued: "I have something very important to tell you. A maid in the castle betrayed you, and she told other people about your information."
Then, Linda told the story about what she saw. After the human memory was generally good, Linda simulated two voices and expressions in a vivid way. After hearing her words, Balff turned around and was about to drag the village woman in, but Chen Xiansong suddenly called him.
"Wait, Balff, don't do anything randomly. Although she revealed the things in my study to others, she resisted the greater temptation and did not try every means to steal my belongings as Chen Guangrong said. It is also a bottom line. Let her go and just warn her."
Balff frowned and said, "But master, if you don't punish her, with this precedent, people in the village will think you are easy to bully and think you are weak. They will not take you seriously in the future."
"The deterrent force does not have to be targeted at a weak village woman. Sometimes, when we punch a few big bugs, the effect will be better." Chen Xiansong said: "Just warn the village woman secretly and then transfer her from the castle. Although I don't have any confidential information to hide now, it does not mean that there will be no one in the future; the tavern will be built, so you can arrange for her to do odd jobs in the tavern."
Chen Xiansong thought for a while and continued, "Actually, the one who is really interested in me is the Chen family next door... Balff, you will come up to visit with royal jelly and then bring me a message... In the future, the supply of snow salt will be reduced from 250 kilograms per day to 200 kilograms. As for the reason, if you let them think about it yourself, they should understand it."
When Balff heard this, he smiled. He felt that his master was becoming more and more calm, and he was becoming more and more arrogant as a high noble.
After Balff left, Chen Xiansong looked at Linda and smiled and said, "Well, this time, thanks to your report, otherwise I might have greater losses or more serious things to happen in the future. It seems that my family needs to be more vigilant in the future... Linda, are there any difficulties in life recently?"
Linda shook her head vigorously. She felt that it was really not necessary to let her master care about her life, and it was too troublesome to the other party.
"Teacher, can I teach Linda to read in the future?" The little guy took the opportunity to come up and act coquettishly, but she never dared to pounce on Chen Xiansong again. After all, the girl began to grow up and learned some necessary knowledge of men and women: "I think she is very smart, smarter than Alex and Jessica. I don't have any problem teaching one more person."
"Okay, of course." Chen Xiansong didn't care what these two little guys were doing. In his opinion, this was a good thing. Children should have playmates of the same age. When he was a child, he was only with Sister Bai, and he never knew what it would be like to have friends to mess around with him. This caused him to lack social skills to a certain extent, so he didn't want the little guy to be the same as himself.
On the other hand, Balf, following Chen Xiansong's order, came to Chen Zeyi's door with a few guards, carrying two cans of royal jelly. After reporting his purpose to the guards at the door, Balf was invited into the room alone.
Although the appearance of this castle is in the style of the Kingdom of Kate, the decorations in the room are full of Zhendan style, including golden nanmu, small round stools, vermilion beams and pillars, as well as golden borders, carved animals and birds, and vivid doors and windows carvings... Unlike the simple and practical characteristics of the Kingdom of Kate, the nobles of the Kingdom of Kate prefer luxurious and beautiful furniture.
Although Balff was a mercenary before, he had been running around in the Kingdom of Kate and had never been to the Zhendan Kingdom. As soon as he entered the door, he was shocked by the gorgeous decorations here. After a few seconds, he saw Chen Zeyi's smile-like expression. He immediately knew that he had lost his composure and made a joke. He quickly lowered his head and said, "Your Excellency, the master asked me to send you two cans of royal jelly produced in the home. You are also very concerned about my master. This is a thank you."
Chen Zeyi was also 'old man', so he naturally heard something in this sentence. He frowned: "Hisser Balff, thank you for the gift you brought. I also told you to Chen Xiansong for your kindness." Chen Zeyi signaled and asked his servant to accept the gift, and then continued to ask: "There is a saying in our Zhendan Kingdom that you will not go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. Chen Xiansong sent you here. What advice do you have?"
"The master said that the supply of snow salt every day will be reduced from 250 kilograms to 200 kilograms." Balff bent over and said slowly.
Chen Zeyi stood up suddenly, pressed his hands on the armrest of the Taishi Chair, and tried very hard... He quickly realized his loss of composure, then slowly sat down, took a sip of warm tea, and asked slowly: "Since we have already signed a contract, why should you regret it? Change the contract provisions without authorization."
It doesn’t sound like a lot of 50 kilograms of snow salt, but if calculated monthly, it will be 1,500 kilograms of snow salt in a month. According to the current public price on the market, that is, they will earn about 1,500 gold coins less every month... This number is enough to make several small noble families fight and become enemies. Although the Chen family is also a big family, they don’t want to bear the losses!
Balff bowed and said, "The master asked me to tell you something: 'Guess, I believe you can guess what the reason is."
