Dressed as a farmer's little blessing, the road to escape the deserted

The butler was in a hurry, for fear that Lord Hou would listen to the slander and misunderstand the princess.

He was about to go forward to explain, but he didn't want Master Hou to look at the shopkeeper, kicked him a few feet away, and strode into the room.

Jiayin smiled and said, "Father, you are back, have you had lunch yet?"

"No, I came here specially to eat with you." Hou Ye smiled and rubbed the fat girl's hair, and discussed with her: "I haven't eaten for a long time. Cyclamen is here, do you want to go there for lunch?"

"Okay, uncle is not here, adoptive father and I are going to support second brother." Jiayin is so smart, she guessed Hou Ye's intentions at once, "Guest father is the god of war, and the bad guys are scared when they see it, so they dare not bully second brother gone."

Hou Ye scratched her little nose and said with a smile: "Ghost spirit, I really can't hide anything from you, are you tired of checking the account books?

"The emperor rewarded a few horses of new material, you can pick and choose after a while, keep the style you like for the embroiderer to make a dress, and take the rest back to share with the family."

"Okay," Jiayin replied crisply, "Grandma had to prepare a gift earlier, and the storeroom ran out of materials, so I just left some more for grandma."

The father and son acted as if no one was around, and they spoke joyfully, which made the housekeeper completely relieved.

But it also shocked all the shopkeepers.

They had heard before that Lord Hou treated the adopted daughter of the princess differently, and loved her more than his own daughter.

But when they saw it with their own eyes today, they realized that they were more like daughters than their own daughters!

The shopkeeper of the restaurant clutched his stomach and half-lyed in the yard, feeling even more chilled.

He originally wanted to confuse right and wrong, starting with the fact that the princess's surname was Li but not Ye, and tried to make a difference, trying to "reverse the case" for himself.

But now it is obvious that his plan was in vain.

However, he didn't want to be defeated by a little girl just like that, so he struggled to climb up the steps again.

He shouted loudly: "Master Hou, this old slave is Bai Sanxing. He has been managing the restaurant for the Hou Mansion for more than ten years. This old slave has hard work without credit. Master Hou, just listen to what this old slave has to say.

"Master Hou, this old slave has been wronged. This old slave cannot bear to see Lord Hou being robbed of his wealth. This old slave will not die with peace!"

Lord Hou frowned, turned his head to look at him, and said with a sneer: "You have been managing the restaurant for the Hou Mansion for more than ten years, but the Hou Mansion has also paid you wages for more than ten years and distributed the bonuses for more than ten years. Where did you come from?" Isn't it your duty to work hard?"

Shopkeeper Bai was stunned for a moment, and then began to cry again, "Master Hou, this old slave is just blind and misread the amount, so that the ledger can't match, the princess wronged this old slave for greedy money!

"Also in autumn and winter, eggs and vegetables are much more expensive, and the princess said that the old slave has tampered with the purchase, the old slave is wronged!

"Master Hou, if the princess wants to kick this old slave out and replace her with the Li family, even though it is clearly stated, don't let this old slave carry such a bad name, this old slave will not be reconciled to death!"

Jiayin didn't want to talk at first, but now she had to say, "You, why are you talking nonsense? One account book made a mistake ten times, not to mention, buying eggs in June cost three times more than usual The price, and it is autumn and winter, your family counts it as autumn and winter in June?!"

Lord Hou patted the fat girl on the back, like soothing a furry kitten, and finally asked shopkeeper Xiang Bai, "You said that the princess deliberately framed you and arranged for the Li family to rob you of your position?"

"Yes, Master Hou." Shopkeeper Bai said bravely without retreating.

The butler wanted to explain again, but Master Hou nodded, and said with shopkeeper Bai, "Your words remind me that the shop is not under the name of the princess, and it is indeed not right for her to take care of it in the future."

After finishing speaking, he ordered the housekeeper, "Go to the government office tomorrow and put all the shops under the name of the princess."

Everyone gasped when they heard this!

Shopkeeper Bai opened his mouth wide open, looking up at the sky...

There are more than [-] shops in the Hou Mansion, including those inside and outside the capital!

Just give it all to the princess? !

Hou's mansion will not live in the future? !

Especially the shopkeepers who also had problems with their account books, they were ashamed.

Originally, they had hoped that Shopkeeper Bai would come out ahead, and they would be able to pick up the bargain by following behind, but now it seems that it is completely over...

The four looked at each other and knelt down together.

one of them takes the lead

Said: "Master Hou, we are obsessed with ghosts, tampered with the account books, and corrupted money. We are willing to refund all the silver taels, and only ask Lord Hou to spare our lives."

Lord Hou glanced at them, and said: "Death crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. After the compensation, each person will receive [-] boards. You are allowed to redeem yourself and get out of Xindu with your whole family!"

These shopkeepers are all slaves of the Hou Mansion, some have signed a death contract, some have signed a 20-year long-term contract, and even a whole family is a servant of the Hou Mansion.

Leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade, as the steward and shopkeeper of the Hou Mansion, they have never been bullied outside.

They just need to think about it. In the future, they will take off the amulet of the Marquis Mansion and go back to the life of ordinary people. It will be like walking in the cold winter wind and snow without cotton padded clothes...

But the wrong thing has already been done, and it is too late to regret it now.

The four kowtowed to the ground, and obediently retreated to receive the board.

Shopkeeper Bai heard the screams in the yard, he was in a bad mood!

He still wanted to talk, but Lord Hou had already ordered the big housekeeper, "Call this man's whole family, ask if there is anything else, and then deal with it, and the whole family will sell it."

"Yes, Lord Hou!" The head butler agreed, and with a wave of his hand, he called two guards to come forward, grabbed the shopkeeper Bai and left.

Shopkeeper Bai struggled desperately and wanted to speak, but was knocked out of the scabbard and passed out...

The rest of the shopkeepers who had no problem stood with their heads down.

Beside him, like a quail, he didn't dare to take a breath.

The big housekeeper tentatively asked: "Master Hou, who is the right person to be in charge of these five shops?"

Hou Ye looked at Jiayin and said, "The princess decides."

Jiayin tilted her head, kicked her two calves, thought for a while and said, "For these five shops, let the assistants of the original shopkeepers be on top, within a month. If they are enough to support the shop, they will be formally promoted. .The shopkeepers of the other shops are loyal and hardworking, and they will be rewarded with an extra month's wages."

"Okay, that's it." Lord Hou nodded, signaling for everyone to back off.

The shopkeepers hurriedly saluted and thanked them, and then retreated one after another.

Seeing that there were no outsiders in the room, the butler couldn't help himself, so he gave his thumbs up and exaggerated the good news, "Princess, you are just too powerful, and you handled it so well!"

Jiayin quietly glanced outside the door, then patted her chest, and said with a smile: "I was really scared to death just now, as long as I didn't make a mistake."

"No, no, the princess handled it very well! These shopkeepers are donkeys, they can't be led away, they are beaten backwards, and they need to be beaten more in the future, otherwise it is easy to make mistakes."

The butler found a good excuse, quickly climbed up the pole, and begged with a bitter face: "Could the princess come to the Hou's mansion more times in the future, even twice a month?! The Hou is often not at home, Although the old servant is a housekeeper, he is also a servant. The princess often comes and walks, so the hearts of the people in the mansion will not be scattered..."
