She said smilingly as she stroked Gong Ping's soft hair.
"Why not? Look at how well you arranged it just now. I heard that you were the one who arranged the succession ceremony. Well, you're a promising young man. "
Gong Ping's face instantly turned red. Only now did the little adult, who was usually an old and steady minister, have a shyness of a young man.
"But I didn't ask you to be the housekeeper now. You're still young and need experience. So I hired a good master for you. In the future, you'll follow him and learn how to be a housekeeper. Our family will depend on you in the future. "
What she faced was definitely not something that the Gong family could handle.
Therefore, in the unknown and uncertain future, she might even have to say goodbye to the Gong family again.
But this place was always her root.
She would not forget this place. She would make plans for the Gong family and give the Gong family a more stable future.
Hearing her words, Gong Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
But he was still immersed in one surprise after another and could not come to his senses for a long time.
"Baisu, invite Ning Liang in."
Seeing that Gong Ping had thought it through, Lin Mengya was relieved.
Soon, Ning Liang came in and bowed to greet her.
"Nice to meet you, Sir."
"This time, it's all thanks to Mister Ning."
In fact, Gong Tu still did not know who he had lost to.
During this period of time, Gong Tu had already mastered every part of the old house.
In the key positions, he had replaced them with people he trusted.
But that day in front of the ancestral hall, only a few guards rushed out.
Moreover, almost at the same time after he left, the people he had buried were all arrested.
As a result, they were driven out of the mansion before they could use their dirty tricks.
The most important hero was the person Long Tianhao had arranged for her.
"This is what I should do. You flatter me, Sir."
They were all on the same side, so Lin Mengya did not beat around the bush.
"Things have come to an end. What's your plan, Mr. Ning?"
She had inquired about Ning Liang's background.
Yu said that he used to be a steward of a certain family. Although he was capable, he was chased out because he offended the main family.
This person was capable and loyal. That was why he was arranged to infiltrate Gong Tu's side.
Although this matter was already over, she still cherished his talent.
There were a lot of things to do at home, and it was time to find a capable person to be the housekeeper.
"I will listen to Your Highness and Sir's arrangements."
Ning Liang lowered his head and said methodically.
Lin Mengya smiled and said softly.
"I've long heard of Mister Ning's abilities, so I'm interested in hiring Mister Ning to be the first housekeeper of our Gong Family. I wonder if mister is interested? "
Ning Liang looked up at her in disbelief.
He had just heard his clansmen and servants mention the matter of the Gong Family appointing a Chief Butler.
In fact, he agreed with this matter. However, he didn't expect that it had something to do with him.
But very quickly, he reacted and said after a fake cough.
"I have no talent and no virtue. I can't bear such a heavy responsibility …"
"The Huang Clan of Xinzhou declined in the second year after Master left. Do you know about this, Sir? "
Hearing this, Ning Liang frowned imperceptibly, but he didn't say anything.
"The head of the Huang Clan only knows how to gamble and enjoy himself all day long. It's not enough that he emptied his family property and sold it. He even wanted to pawn his ancestral home. If it weren't for your hard work, how could the Huang Clan live a good life for nine years?"
She valued Ning Liang not because of his talent as a housekeeper.
This person was also quite accomplished in the field of business.
The Gong Family had many industries, and the business was also quite important.
Therefore, if he wanted to be a Chief Butler, he couldn't do without this.
It was really not easy to manage this family well.
Ning Liang raised his head and looked at her.
"What do you want to say?"
"Ning Liang, the Gong Family is different from the Huang Clan. The Gong Family can make all your ambitions and dreams come true. What I want is not a servile servant. What I want is a person who can manage the family for me. "
She wanted to divide the power of the head of the family. The existence of the Chief Butler was for this purpose.
Of course, the power of the Chief Butler was also limited, and he could never replace the head of the family.
Therefore, the choice of this person was quite important.
Although Ning Liang was capable, he didn't have the ambition for power.
All he wanted was a peaceful life.
This could be seen from the fact that he had struggled to maintain the Huang Clan for so many years.
Hearing her words, Ning Liang couldn't help but be tempted.
He was a man who couldn't stay idle, and he was not suitable for fighting and killing outside.
Instead, managing things at home and talking about business was quite in line with his temperament.
But …
"As the boss, I will sign a contract with you. Even if you don't be the Chief Butler in the future, you can still get dividends from the Gong Family every year. But after this, I hope you can stay in the Gong Family forever, as the assessment and teaching of the next Chief Butler. "
It was indeed a good strategy to put the reward at the end.
In this way, Ning Liang's mind was completely settled.
He let out a long sigh and then bowed to her.
"Ning Liang is willing to go through fire and water for you to repay your trust."
Hearing Ning Liang's promise, Lin Mengya also breathed a sigh of relief.
"I want to thank you, Sir. From now on, the Gong Family will be entrusted to you."
Ning Liang nodded his head, but he was even more clear that other than this young lady, the other five young masters were also very smart and capable people.
Working for such people, although it was tiring, he would definitely get a lot of benefits.
After wandering for so many years, he finally had a place to stay. In the end, his long-cherished wish was broken.
"Later, I will ask Fourth Elder Brother to introduce Butler Ning to the family. The Gong Family's business and people have been ruined by Gong Tu and Gong Wu. I'm afraid it will not be easy to recover in a short time. But if you need me and Fourth Elder Brother to do anything, Sir, please let me know. "
Ning Liang frowned and thought for a moment, then said.
"The matters outside can wait for a while, but inside the mansion, Teacher and Fourth Young Master still have to be careful. Although I have learned a lot of things, Gong Tu didn't fully trust me before, so I can't be completely at ease now. "
Lin Mengya also thought of this.
She waved her hand and called Gong Ping, who had been watching curiously, to come in front of Ning Liang.
"This child is the little apprentice I found for you. He knows the affairs of the family better than I do. So, let him assist you. "
Gong Ping was smart, and immediately bowed to his master.
Ning Liang had heard of this child, and also felt that he had a good aptitude. He liked him, so he accepted his bow.
"Well, with Gong Ping's help, I can get twice the result with half the effort. I will immediately send someone to monitor Gong Tu's residence day and night. Also, how do you plan to deal with Second Miss? "
Lin Mengwu could not die yet.
But she would never let Lin Mengwu live a good life.
"Let's keep her cold for now. By the way, separate her from her trusted old maid."
Although Lin Mengwu was cruel and merciless, in terms of means, her mother was better.
Therefore, as long as they were separated, there was no need to worry about what tricks they could play.
Ning Liang immediately agreed.
"Also, go and find someone to spread the little tricks Gong Tu used in the ancestral hall. I don't want him to make trouble for me in the name of the ancestor. "
That was a very simple method.
The so-called blood and tears were just wax oil for the red candles.
Gong Tu had secretly arranged the solidified red candles in the ancestral hall. When the incense was lit and the temperature rose, the candles would melt naturally.
Although Gong Tu had been expelled from the Gong Family, he would not give up the idea of coming back.
This was something he absolutely could not allow himself to be taken advantage of.
Ning Liang had already seen through it, and he even knew clearly who set it up.
It was not difficult to do.
At the same time, he also thought of another thing.
"Sir, I've detained Gong Zhun. Do you want to interrogate him properly? "
Speaking of Gong Zhun, she also thought of some abnormalities today.
"You're so thoughtful. Interrogate him for me. But you can't let the old maid by Gong Wu's side off easily. But there's one thing. You can't believe a single word she says. Do you understand what I mean? "
Ning Liang immediately understood. It seemed that Lin Mengya's plan was to torture the old maid, and at the same time to deceive others.
Lin Mengya gave him a few more instructions, and then let him go out with Gong Ping.
Not long after they left, the person sent by Fourth Elder Brother arrived.
"Sir, Fourth Young Master wants to see you."
At this time, Fourth Elder Brother should be accompanying Ma Beichen and Cheng Su.
But she didn't know why he wanted to see her.
After dressing up a little more cleanly with Baisu, they followed that person to the front hall.
At this time, they had already had dinner and were chatting in the front hall.
Hearing that she had arrived, Fourth Elder Brother immediately stood up with a smile to welcome her.
"Thank you for coming here. Actually, it's two distinguished guests who want to see you."
With his back to the two people, Fourth Elder Brother's eyes were filled with helplessness.
It seemed that he had tried to stop them before, but failed to do so.
"Don't mention it. Today, the two distinguished guests have helped our Gong family a lot. It's only right for Su Mei to come and thank you."
With Fourth Elder Brother here, she would definitely not suffer losses.
But these two people were not simple, so she had to deal with them carefully.
"I'm Su Mei. Nice to meet you, young masters."
She bowed graciously and faced the scrutinizing gazes of the two men, but her expression did not change.
Of course, she could calmly deal with the older generation who were several times more powerful than them.
Moreover, they were not as powerful as the two elders.
Seeing her graceful behavior, Ma Beichen and Cheng Su each had their own thoughts.
