After experiencing his mother's unjust death and the fact that he almost died of injustice, Xu Ke's impression of the aristocratic families had dropped to the lowest level. 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net
】
When he lost all his dignity and was manipulated like a commodity by the human traffickers, he had even fantasized crazily that if he could rise to prominence one day, he would definitely take revenge on those vermin of the country who did not know the suffering of the people and had no regard for human life.
However, these thoughts were just thoughts.
Not to mention those aristocratic families with deep foundations, even the local gentry could easily control his life and death, let alone the fact that he was now just an official slave. He had gone from a commoner to a lowly commoner, and there was an irremovable mark of humiliation on his face. He had long since lost all hope in this life.
However, due to a freak combination of factors, it was bought by this special Langjun from an aristocratic family. It was as if a completely different life door had been opened.
Xu Ke had thought that he was arrogant, arrogant, and couldn't bear to listen to any unpleasant words, but in fact, he was surprisingly easy to talk to … Of course, Xu Ke wouldn't treat this Langjun as a harmless little rabbit just because he had taken his advice several times.
Not only was the other party not a harmless bunny, it was a silent tiger that seemed to be resting lazily but was actually extremely dangerous.
She took his advice only because it was useful.
Even so, Jiang Pengji's reaction was beyond Xu Ke's expectation.
To describe it in modern terms, it would probably be —
This young master of the aristocratic family was different from those coquettish wretches outside. He was exceptionally pure and unpretentious!
For example, now …
He didn't understand. Langjun was the only legitimate son of the second branch of the Liu family. According to the gossip of the other servants, the second branch of the Liu family was extremely rich. So … as a noble scholar, how could she know the price of rice, vegetables, and fruits so clearly? He even remembered the prices in the last few days?
At most, he would praise Liu Langjun for having an outstanding memory, for having a photographic memory, and for being able to recall what he heard.
But … why was he smiling and bargaining with the merchants like an ordinary farmer?
That stingy bargaining technique stunned him. He couldn't help but have an illusion that the second branch of the Liu family was so poor that they couldn't even feed themselves.
Xu Ke wasn't the only one who was dumbfounded. The audience watching the live broadcast were also so shocked that they dropped the melons in their hands.
Cafeteria Dafan Auntie: "What an almighty streamer! She's so cool even when she's haggling!
Lan Chui Yu Buzhe: "Bargaining and whatnot, it feels super down to earth. But host, didn't you notice that he was about to cry?"
Wujiang Zha Cai Ye: "Hahahaha, the shopkeepers who almost cried when the streamer tried to bargain with them."
Hit Me If You Don't Agree: "I'm relieved. I'm thankful that the host isn't from this world. Otherwise, it would be too scary." As an experienced clothing store owner, I felt that if I met such a troublesome customer, I would suffer a huge loss. I wouldn't be able to continue my business.
A group of spectators expressed that Jiang Pengji was very good at bargaining. Although they felt sorry for the shop owner, they were still happy to watch the show.
However, other than the onlookers who only knew how to laugh, there was also Xu Ke.
"Langjun, you …" Xu Ke wanted to say that she was calculative, but that was not a good word. He was also afraid of offending her, so he awkwardly said, "… If this gets out, it will greatly damage your reputation."
A noble son of an aristocratic family bargaining with a merchant … Even if he maintained his demeanor, it was inevitable that he would have a bad reputation if it got out.
Jiang Pengji sneered and said carelessly, "You speak as if I, your Langjun, have a reputation? Who in Hejian County doesn't know the reputation of the Liu manor's prodigal son? The manor does not lack money and rice, but you don't know how expensive it is if you don't manage the household. These merchants saw that I was dressed well, and I was young and ignorant, so they asked for an exorbitant price. They raised a price of one copper coin to ten copper coins. Do I look like a fat sheep to you? "
Shou Shi Guan: "Eh, how can there be such a cruel sheep like the host in this world? It was the shopkeeper who was being ripped off. "
As soon as this comment came out, all the viewers who were watching the live broadcast immediately agreed.
That was absolutely right!
Xu Ke silently looked up at the sky. After that day's fair, the reputation of his Langjun had indeed spread, but it was accompanied by the comments of the prodigal son. There were both praise and criticism. However, none of the masters in the manor cared, and the people involved even took the initiative to push the reputation onto themselves.
"Moreover … if I don't tell them my name, how will they know who I am? Even if they ask, I will only say that my name is Xu Xiaoyu, and I am the servant of the Liu manor's Langjun. "As soon as Jiang Pengji said this, Xu Ke, who was following behind her, almost stumbled and fell.
Could it be that his main task in the Liu manor was not to accompany her in her studies, but to help her Langjun be the scapegoat?
After showing Xu Ke around, Jiang Pengji asked again, "Have you memorized everything?"
Xu Ke nodded. Although his memory was not as good as Jiang Pengji's, he still had a photographic memory, so he remembered everything.
"That's good. In the future, you will be in charge of the farm's expenses and purchases. Make an account book and record everything. You have to be strict with their training. If anyone dares to slack off, you will be severely punished. There will be no room for mercy. If there is punishment, there will be rewards. For those who perform well, you should also be rewarded appropriately. We are still short on manpower, so it shouldn't be difficult to manage. "
Jiang Pengji bought Xu Ke to be the accountant, manage the household affairs, and supervise the training of the servants. One person could take on multiple roles. According to Liu She, he would not interfere in this matter, so she had to figure it out on her own.
In fact, she did not need others to tell her what to do.
Before Xu Ke could answer, Jiang Pengji continued, "This is your training and training. Armchair strategizing is just empty talk. If you want to verify your own ideas, you have to put them into practice. You don't have to do everything yourself, but you have to be aware of it. You won't be deceived by your subordinates. Don't think that these purchases are simple. There is more to it than meets the eye. "
It was the same thing, but the quality was different, and the price was different. It was hard to guarantee that no one would use shoddy goods to cheat him.
Don't think that it was a small matter. What if you looked at the bigger picture and the more detailed picture?
There were many ways to go about it.
For a long time, Xu Ke did not say a word. Instead, he looked at Jiang Pengji with surprise and suspicion. His eyes seemed to be overstepping his authority.
Jiang Pengji asked, "What are you looking at?"
Xu Ke felt as if his worldview had been reshaped. His impression of the gentry's son had also been reset.
He said gently, "I never thought that you would be so familiar with these household affairs."
A gentry's son had a more detailed understanding of the prices of goods than a former commoner like him. He knew the prices of all the shops, stalls, taverns, and eateries within a few miles. Wasn't he the pampered son of the inner house?
"Heh, you wanted to say that I haggled over every penny. What, you changed your mind in less than a quarter of an hour? "
