Gou Wencai scratched his head. Everyone wanted to know it anyway, so he would just say it directly. It would not be good to keep it secret.
"Director Jia is right. From now on, I will be the master of the Hou Mansion. Hehe, I'm really sorry that I kept it from you for so long."
He was indeed sorry for not revealing the truth to everyone in the past two years and for keeping it hidden from them.
At this moment, even though he became the master of the palace, he was not proud at all. Instead, he felt that the burden on him was heavier.
"Holy shit! Am I dreaming?" Hou Li and others didn't believe their ears at all, even though Gou Wencai admitted it himself at this moment.
If they were to be a supervisor, they would still think it was reasonable, Palace Master? Are servants like them capable of being such?
Seeing that they still didn't believe it, Gou Wencai had no choice but to shake his head and continue, "This is true. In fact, I am the adopted son of the master and his wife. They are leaving now, so I will take over the management of the house from now on."
But with Gou Wencai's emphasis again, everyone was reluctant to accept it.
"So you hid it so deeply! You didn't let us know until today." For some reason, they felt much more relaxed when they heard that Gou Wencai was the master of the palace. At least they were friends they had trusted. If it was the chief manager, then they
I'm afraid the days ahead will be difficult.
Manager Jia's eyes widened when he heard this, and he quickly reprimanded, "Bah, bah, bah, what kind of boy are you, big or small? Now you have to call him Palace Master Gou!"
But before anyone could react, Gou Wencai immediately smiled and waved his hand.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter so much. Although I am the master of the palace now, everyone can still do the same as before. Just call me Wencai. It sounds more friendly to me."
Gou Wencai also hated the previous red tape. It just so happened that he came to power and wanted to change the previous bad rules.
"Okay, everyone doesn't have to stand around like that anymore. Come in and sit down. I have something to tell you. By the way, Director Jia, help me get a brazier."
With that said, Gou Wencai waved to everyone and walked in first.
A brazier? Manager Jia was a little confused. Why did he need a brazier? But he didn't ask. After all, this was the first thing Gou Wencai asked him to do after he took office.
After Director Jia was gone, it was easier for Hou Li and others to talk.
"Literary talent, I really have you. Today I was wondering if you were secretly getting rich, and it turned out just as I expected. No wonder my left eyelid keeps twitching today, hahaha." Hou Li joked.
"I only received the notice at noon. I didn't know about it before. Don't worry, I said I will definitely take you with me when I get rich. Your benefits are indispensable." Gou Wencai smiled, as if he had already thought about what to do.
What benefits can be given to Hou Li and others?
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all thought about Xiao Jiujiu.
"Actually, there's no need for any benefits, hahaha, just give us some salary every month, hehe." Hou Li said with a smile.
Sure enough, Hou Fang was not the only one to think so, all of them were obsessed with wages.
"Xiaotian has already told me about the salary this afternoon, but you all deserve it and are not included in it. In fact, I have prepared a big gift for you. You will know when you wait." Gou Wencai smiled.
The sale became a problem.
Indeed, this directly aroused everyone's curiosity. In addition to salary, are there other gifts? Sure enough, it is different when good brothers come on stage. This is the real situation where one person achieves enlightenment and a chicken or a dog ascends to heaven.
Everyone was chatting and asking how Gou Wen became a Shangfuist. This was what they were most curious about.
No wonder, they all live in the servants' room, and only Gou Wen has a single room. Manager Jia usually takes special care of him and doesn't let him do any dirty work. For this reason, they have complained.
Soon everyone understood the whole story, and then they realized that Gou Wen was the one who was saved by the palace master, and he only came here to repay his kindness at first.
At this moment, red light flashed outside the door, and it was Manager Jia holding the

The brazier came in.
The flame in the basin was still beating, bringing out a hint of scorching temperature.
"Thank you for your hard work, Manager Jia, please sit down." Gou Wencai smiled and waved to him, motioning for him to sit aside.
Everyone was confused as to why Gou Wencai wanted the brazier. Was it to warm up the fire? Obviously that was not the reason.
"Everyone has been waiting for a long time. Next, is the surprise I have prepared for you, Dang Dang Dang Dang!" Gou Wencai smiled and opened the few papers he brought in his hands.
It was clearly a contract of betrayal.
Hou Li and others recognized it at a glance. It was written in black and white with their fingerprints on it.
"This..." Everyone was speechless for a moment with excitement, and they finally understood what surprise Gou Wencai was talking about.
Seeing their dumbfounded expressions, Gou Wencai laughed loudly, "Why are you so stupid? Come on, take away all your deeds of prostitution."
As he spoke, he handed the names on the deeds of sale to their respective hands one by one.
"Wencai, are you serious?" Everyone looked at the rendition contract in their hands and felt that everything was so unreal.
Originally they thought this life would pass like this, but they didn't expect that their former good brother would give them such a big surprise.
"Huh? Don't want it? I don't want you to give it back." Gou Wencai smiled and pretended to take back their bond of sale.
Everyone hid behind them, there was no reason to return what they had obtained!
"Yes, why don't we want it? We all want it in our dreams!" Hou Li and the others rubbed the yellowed papers in their hands, and their eyes turned red. They were so afraid that this scene was a dream, just like Gou Wencai suddenly suddenly
Taking over the Hou Mansion is so unreal.
A bunch of big men actually cried out of frustration at this moment.
Manager Jia chuckled at the side. In fact, this result was something he did not expect. He did not expect Gou Wencai to be willing to give everyone their freedom. He couldn't help but feel a little admiration. What kind of courage this was. At the same time, he was also happy for Hou Li and others.
After all, we have worked together for so many years, so it is impossible to say that we have no feelings.
Although he usually looks aloof and doesn't take them seriously, he is also a tough guy and tender!
"Okay, okay, why are you so pretentious? The brazier has been prepared for you. But let me explain in advance that the deed of betrayal has been returned to you. You still have to work hard in the future. As for the salary mentioned before, it will be as per
Let’s do the basics, you can take as much as others take.” Gou Wencai said with a smile.
At this time, he could be regarded as completing his first concern. The matter of returning Hou Li to their freedom was not something he came up with in a moment of enthusiasm, but something he had planned for a long time.
The next moment, everyone knelt down in front of Gou Wencai, which shocked him.
Gou Wencai hurriedly stood up and helped me, "What are you doing? Get up quickly."
The two brothers were still good friends this morning, but this time they suddenly knelt down to him, which he really couldn't bear.
But everyone didn't listen to him and still knelt on the ground with tears in their eyes.
"Wencai, if you give us our freedom, you will be our reborn parents. Please accept our respects." With that said, everyone knelt down in front of Gou Wencai and kowtowed to him.
"Alas~" Gou Wencai sighed softly and accepted their kneeling ceremony.
"Okay, okay, everyone, get up. You have worked hard in the Hou Mansion for so many years without any merit. You deserve this. It doesn't have to be like this."
After kneeling down and bowing, Gou Wencai immediately pulled them up from the ground one by one.
Then he took the brazier and placed it in front of everyone.
"You hurry up and cook it. We'll have dinner after it's done. Today is the day when I take over as the master of the palace, and it's also the day when you are free. Let's have a good drink on such a happy day." Gou Wencai said with a smile.
"Okay!" Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and together they threw the deed of betrayal in their hands into the brazier.

middle.
When the flame in the brazier touched the contract of betrayal, it burst into brilliant flames, reflecting everyone's faces. It seemed to be celebrating this sacred moment for everyone.
"Oh, on such a festive day, I'm afraid this order of dishes is not enough. I'll fry two more for you, hahaha. Let's drink more together tonight." The uncle cook said cheerfully from the side.
They have also worked in the government for many years and have a good relationship with Hou Li and others. Seeing this, they sincerely congratulate everyone on their new life.
"Well, Old Han, take out the two jars of wine I have hidden. I want to drink more." Manager Jia smiled and reflected the atmosphere.
Immediately, everyone took the brazier to the door, put the scattered tables together, and everyone sat around the table.
"Wencai, brothers, I must toast you with a few glasses of wine today. I can't do it without drinking you down." Hou Li took the lead and poured wine into the small cups in front of everyone, and they all stood up to pay homage to Gou Wencai.
Gou Wencai hurriedly brought the wine and responded, "Hahaha, come on, if you can drink me down, you are great. I have never been drunk in my whole life." As he said that, he drank the wine in his hand.
"Sit down, everyone. Let's sit down and drink. If you stand up, I have to stand up." He quickly waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down.
Hou Li and the others sat down.
"Brothers all know that you are a big drinker, but today is different. I will make you drunk no matter what I say! Hahaha, come on, let's go one more time." At this time, Hou Chuan stood up again, raised his glass and paid tribute to Gou Wencai.
.
Then came Hou Jie and Hou Fang.
Gou Wencai was not afraid at all, and would drink every greeting without frowning.
After two rounds of toasts, Gou Wen drank eight cups in one go. He was thinking that everyone would take a break before drinking again, but then Director Jia jumped out again.
"Hey, Master, I want to toast you too."
Gou Wencai had just dropped a peanut into his mouth and hadn't even had time to chew it twice before he looked at Manager Jia in surprise.
"Ah, Manager Jia, you want to get me drunk too? I thought you were on my side, hahaha." Even though he said that, the movements of his hands did not stop, and he poured a glass of wine.
Drink it all in one gulp.
Upon seeing this, Manager Jia quickly drank the wine in his hand into his mouth.
"Master, you are joking. I am congratulating you. I wish you a bigger business and more money in the future with this glass of wine, hehe."
"Hahahaha, if I lend you some good words, I'll give you a toast too."
Gou Wencai poured himself another glass of wine and paid tribute to Manager Jia.
After drinking, he looked at Hou Li and others and said with a smile, "Let me tell you, speaking is also an art. You should ask more for advice from Manager Jia."
Indicate them to learn more from Manager Jia.
Seeing his praise, Manager Jia was frightened.
"Oh, I don't dare to take it seriously. The master of the palace is ridiculously complimenting me."
At this time, Hou Fang took out a pamphlet from nowhere and it said "How to practice flattery kung fu."
"Hahaha, I have been learning this, and I learned another sentence today. When the leader praises you, you should say that you don't deserve it. It is ridiculous! I will write it down right now." Then he took out a pen and started to write it down.
, looking very serious.
"Hahaha..."
"Hahaha..."
Seeing Hou Fang's move, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Usually they only dare to tease Director Jia in private, or say bad things behind his back, but this is the first time they have done so openly.
In the past, they were servants with the lowest status, and were afraid of being put in the wrong shoes, but now they can let themselves go.
"Hahaha, you really have Hou Fang." Gou Wencai also laughed, but he didn't expect him to be so embarrassed.
Only Manager Jia on the side had a dark face.
Damn it, just remember it and tell me what happened!
