Is this my nest? How come it changed after a few days of not coming back? Lin Wanrong looked around and saw a few thread-bound books on the table. He picked them up and saw that they were several copies of the Diamond Sutra.
He couldn't help but smile. To be able to recite scriptures in the Xiao Residence, who else could it be other than the second miss? Needless to say, this room must have been secretly cleaned by her.
This little girl ate vegetarian and chanted Buddhist scriptures, so naturally, she hoped that Lin San would also chant some scriptures like her. How could she know that Lin Wanrong had no interest in the Diamond Sutra? If there was a bit of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, he might be able to take a look.
The next day, Lin Wanrong slept in. He was now the favorite of the madam and the two misses. He no longer needed to work in the gardening department. Other than the madam and the two misses, no one dared to assign him to work. He could sleep until he woke up naturally and count money until his hands cramped. This was the life he dreamed of.
"Third brother, third brother, the Grand Mistress invites you to the meeting hall to discuss some matters." Lin Wanrong was in a daze when he heard the call of the "maid" from outside. The voice sounded familiar.
Lin Wanrong didn't care and yawned, "Sister outside, what time is it? Oh, what time is it?"
"It's noon, hee hee." The maid outside laughed.
"It's not dark yet, I'll sleep a bit more." Lin Wanrong said to himself.
The "maid" outside became anxious when she heard this. She snorted and rushed in, "Lin San, quickly get up."
Lin Wanrong looked at Xiao Yushuang's small face and said with a smile, "Second miss, why are you in such a mood to pretend to be a maid today? I can't afford it. "
Xiao Yushuang knew that he had already heard her voice. It was obvious that he was deliberately teasing her. Her face turned red and she snorted, "You, you didn't tell me you came back last night. You made me worry all day. "
Lin Wanrong had already gotten out of bed. He smiled and said, "When we returned yesterday, everyone in the mansion knew about it. Why didn't anyone tell you about such a big commotion?"
Second Miss blushed and said, "I've been chanting Buddhist scriptures every day for the past few days and didn't want anyone to disturb me. Yesterday, I helped you clean up the room, but when I returned to my room at night, I fell asleep while chanting. I didn't know you were back."
This lass was truly devout. In the end, it's all for me. Lin Wanrong was touched. He held her little hand and said, "Don't worry. If you're tired, you should rest well. It's fine if you don't read the Buddhist scriptures. The Bodhisattvas in heaven eat incense and money, but they don't eat Buddhist scriptures. I just need to earn some silver and give out some incense. "
The Second Young Mistress hurriedly covered his mouth with her small hand and said, "Lin San, don't talk nonsense. Last time, you and my sister were safe and sound because of the Bodhisattva. You can't be disrespectful. For you guys, chanting Buddhist scriptures for a month is nothing. I'm willing to do it for the rest of my life. "
Smelling the faint fragrance on her fingers, Lin Wanrong's heart skipped a beat and he asked in surprise, "Second Miss, are you using perfume?"
Xiao Yushuang's little face blushed and said, "I used some of my mother's rose perfume. Lin San, does it smell good?"
It smells good. It smells too good. This Xiao Family's mother and son all like rose perfume. Hehe, interesting.
Lin Wanrong pulled her little hand and said, "It smells good. It smells so good. Second Miss, I haven't seen you for a few days and you've lost a lot of weight. "
Xiao Yushuang nodded and said, "I've been eating vegetarian food these days. Naturally, I've lost some weight."
Lin Wanrong stared at her chest that had just finished developing and was already beginning to show its size. He said seriously, "Second Miss, you're in the puberty stage. Many parts of your body are growing very quickly. It's not enough to just eat vegetarian food. There must be a combination of meat and vegetables to promote the development of your chest. Oh, your whole body. Come, let me hug you. I want to see how much weight you've lost. "
Second Miss ran away as if she was flying. Her cheeks were flushed and she said bashfully, "You, you only know how to bully me. I really hate you. Elder sister said that a girl's body is more precious than our lives. We can't let others touch it. "
Lin Wanrong remembered the night before he left. He hid in Miss Xiao's room and heard the Grand Mistress teach Yushuang how to defend herself against perverts. He was very unhappy and chuckled, "Second Miss, it's very dangerous to keep that dagger on your body. Why don't you let me keep it for you? I'm a very serious person and never take advantage of others."
Second Miss softly grunted and her cheeks flushed. She slowly lowered her head and said, "Lin San, don't be afraid. That dagger is for self-defense. It's to guard against others. Although you're a bad person, I'm used to being bullied by you. Even if you bully me to death, I won't complain. "
Other than feeling emotional, Lin Wanrong could only sigh. Who said that this girl was only sixteen or seventeen years old? Even a twenty-six or seventeen year old girl might not be able to say these words. He was so touched.
Xiao Yushuang was, after all, still young. She was like a flower bud. Lin Wanrong had the mentality of fattening her up before killing her, so he didn't take too much liberties with her. He only talked to her and occasionally flirted with her. They got along very well.
Lin Wanrong told Yushuang what he had seen and heard along the way in Hangzhou. He himself was a master storyteller. His tone was rhythmic and the plot was full of twists and turns. Second Miss listened and was intoxicated. She held his hand and said, "If I had known it would be so fun, I would have gone too. Yesterday morning, Jiejie had already sent someone back to report what had happened. Lin San, you've done a great service this time. Mother is also full of praise for you. She says that you are the pillar of the Xiao Family and that your future achievements will be extraordinary. "
Lin Wanrong secretly laughed when he heard this. The Xiao Family was filled with women, but this time, he was a man who could hold up half the sky. Right now, he was very curious about Lady Xiao. From the meaning of Xu Wei's words, this Lady Xiao used to be someone important in the capital. Even someone like Xu Wenzhang praised her. He didn't know what kind of story she had.
"Aiya — —" Xiao Yushuang talked with him for a long time. Suddenly, she cried out in alarm, "Oh no. Lin San, Jiejie is still waiting for you to discuss business. I actually forgot about this matter when I saw you. Quickly go to the business hall. "
Business hall? Lin Wanrong thought back to the day when he trespassed into the business hall and became angry because of Yushuang. He smiled in his heart.
Xiao Yushuang seemed to have a telepathic connection with him. She looked at him and smiled shyly. She said softly, "When you go, you have to talk to Jiejie and Mother properly. Don't be as rash as last time. If you don't listen to our advice and you get beaten again, no one will take your place."
Lin Wanrong chuckled. He left the small room and hurried to the business hall. On the way, he ran into Guo Wuchang's Young Cousin, whom he hadn't seen in a long time. Guo Wuchang was excitedly walking out with Si De and a few burly servants. When he saw Lin San, he immediately said happily, "Lin San, you did well this time. It's really satisfying."
Lin Wanrong didn't understand. He just saw Guo Wuchang's flashy appearance and didn't know what he was going to do. He smiled and said, "Young Master, it's still early. The Myo Yuk Square hasn't opened for business yet. If you want to 'discuss', you have to do it later."
Guo Wuchang smiled awkwardly. "Lin San, I'm not going to 'discuss'. I'm going to the Tao family's shop to take a look. Oh, no, it should be the Xiao Family's shop now. So satisfying, so satisfying. Let's see how arrogant that bastard surnamed Tao can be. "
It turned out that the Young Cousin couldn't wait any longer. He brought his men to search the house. Lin Wanrong was amused. He knew that Guo Wuchang didn't have a good impression of Tao Dongcheng. At this time, he naturally couldn't wait to beat Tao Dongcheng while he was down.
He didn't know whether that surnamed Tao had been rescued or not. It's not fun to be a pillar holding up the sky. At the very least, he would have to go to a brothel to find three girls to solve the problem. I'm really worried about his fragile cavernous body. Hehe.
When Lin Wanrong arrived at the business hall, the Grand Mistress and Lady Xiao were both present. The various stewards of the Xiao Family were also sitting upright. They seemed to be waiting for his arrival. When Lady Xiao saw him, she stood up with a smile. "Lin San, you've worked hard."
Lin Wanrong smiled. "Madam, you're too polite. I'm just an errand boy. The one who worked the hardest was the Grand Mistress." Xiao Yuruo glanced at him but didn't say anything.
"I've heard what happened from Xiao Yuruo. During this trip to Hangzhou, our Xiao Family not only regained the leading position of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce, but also obtained the Tao family's cloth shop. Lin San, you've contributed the most. I'll definitely reward you handsomely." Lady Xiao said with a smile.
"You flatter me, Madam. It's precisely because of Madam's strategic and far-sighted vision and Grand Mistress's down-to-earth and wise style that we can achieve such great achievements. I only played a small — small role in the middle. It's insignificant, insignificant. "Lin Wanrong 'modestly' said.
Grand Mistress held back her laughter and listened to him show off. She said to the steward in the hall, "Lin San has contributed the most this time. After discussing it with my mother, we've decided that in the future, Lin San can freely enter this business hall to discuss matters. Does anyone have any objections?"
Everyone present was a member of the Xiao Family. Seeing that an insignificant servant could sit on the same level as them, they were naturally unconvinced. However, the story of Lin San and Grand Mistress's fierce battle against Tao Dongcheng in the Clear Rain Building had already spread. In particular, the unfathomable act of washing one's hands in a pan of oil had also startled them, so no one raised any objections.
Lin Wanrong found a seat and sat down. He looked around and thought, "This time, I've entered the Xiao Family's board of directors. I wonder when I'll become the chairman of the Xiao Family?"
Seeing that Lin Wanrong had sat down, Grand Mistress nodded slightly and said to the crowd, "This time, I'd like to hear the stewards' opinions on how to smoothly and conveniently take over the Tao family's cloth shop." The stewards present were all members of the Xiao Family, but Grand Mistress was very courageous when doing business. She only called them stewards, not uncles.
One person in the hall stood up and said, "Virtuous Niece Xiao Yuruo wants to take over the Prince Tao's cloth shop. This matter must not be allowed."
Lin Wanrong recognized this person. On that day, when he had rescued Second Miss, it was this steward who had obstructed him. Lin Wanrong had even scolded him for a while. He seemed to be Master Xiao's younger cousin. Lin Wanrong remembered that Lady Xiao had called him 'fourth younger brother'.
Sure enough, after listening to his words, Grand Mistress's expression changed. She coldly said, "Why not? Fourth Uncle, why don't you tell me. "
