Three hundred and twentieth chapters Fang Yishou who did not achieve his goal
Fang Laifu, the steward who is called Fang Yishou by many people in Qingyun County. Anyone who wants to ask for help from the county magistrate will basically meet Fang Laifu for the first time, and he will hold the magistrate's tiger skin, gifts from future people, etc.
He knows how to do everything, so he got this title. Because of this, Fang Laifu's reputation in Qingyun County is not good, and recently many businesses have avoided him.
Fang Laifu felt very unhappy when he saw that the benefits were getting less and less. However, because he never explicitly asked for benefits from others, he always used hints. Therefore, those who gave benefits but did not receive corresponding rewards also said
If you don't get out of trouble, you can only admit that you are unlucky.
However, the magistrate's wife's order made him suddenly feel that he could get benefits again. After all, the magistrate's wife had people prepare many gifts for the owner of the carriage. Fang Laifu, who was a little resistant to this task at first, was slightly excited in his heart.
.
With this mood, Fang Laifu kept urging the coachman to hurry up. The coachman was also a servant of the magistrate's government. He didn't know his character, and secretly blamed himself for not telling the story about the many carriages in the Zhuyuan owner's house.
The carriage that Lin Zhu and others took back from the capital was more than a dozen together with the original carriages in Zhuyuan. The coachman was very surprised at the time and thought that the owner of Zhuyuan must be a rich man. But he had never heard of it.
There is such a garden at home.
When Fang Laifu asked about it, the coachman also told him all this. Therefore, Fang Laifu thought that the owner of the garden might not have any background, and was just an ordinary rich man who had nothing to do and built a small village. Moreover, the more he
Fang Laifu will be happier if he has no background, so that he can give more 'hints' to him.
The two of them arrived at the outskirts of the Bamboo Garden, and after parking the car, Fang Laifu saw that the gate was very ordinary, and it only had the word "Zhuyuan" made of bamboos on it. There was not even a plaque, and he despised the owner of this garden in his heart.
Let the coachman come forward first to express his intention, while he stood reservedly behind, with his head held high, expressing his extraordinary status. At the same time, he waited for the people in Zhuyuan to come and curry favor with him after hearing about it.
What he didn't expect was that there were now several high-ranking officials from the capital in Zhuyuan, and their momentum was not comparable to that of a small figure like Fang Laifu. Not to mention that he was just a housekeeper or a servant, even Qingyun County
The arrival of the county magistrate Fang Youwei may not necessarily surprise the people of Zhuyuan.
Therefore, after the coachman revealed his identity, the outer porter just politely asked them to wait for a while. He sent someone to ask the steward to come out, and did not appear to be frightened by Fang Laifu's identity.
Fang Laifu became a little angry, especially under the snickering eyes of the coachman. His face was burning, and he couldn't stand it anymore. He secretly vowed to make this blind servant look good.
Zhao Da came here on horseback. Because he had been busy at the hot spring hut on the mountain during this period, if something happened in the garden, it would be too late to just walk, so Lin Zhu specially asked him to buy some horses.
Let them use it instead.
"Steward Fang has come a long way, and I am sorry for the delay in welcoming you. Please forgive me." Zhao Da dismounted and walked into the room where Fang Laifu and others were resting temporarily. "I am the chief steward of Zhuyuan, Zhao Da."
"Hmph." Fang Laifu, who was waiting and full of anger, took Zhao Da's politeness as an apology and snorted coldly. "I'm sorry for not daring to do it. I also want to thank your master for helping me and lending my wife the carriage."
After a pause, Fang Laifu said again, "My wife has specially asked me to return the carriage and send a thank you gift. I wonder if your master can come out to meet me?"
After hearing his words, Zhao Da's face darkened. At this time, Lin Zhu, Miss Zhang and Miss Dong were at the hot spring hut. Not to mention that Fang Laifu was just a servant. Even if the magistrate of Qingyun County came, as a foreigner, the girl was also
It's impossible to see him.
"Butler Fang, please forgive me for the inconvenience my master is having right now." When he said this, Fang Laifu's expression turned a bit bad, so he had to say, "But the young master happens to be here at the moment. Can I ask Butler Fang to move to the main courtyard?"
"
Fang Laifu followed Zhao Da to the main courtyard of Zhuyuan. At this time, he was secretly surprised. Because after he agreed, Zhao Da stepped up and got on the horse, and he and the driver were also invited to the carriage. It seemed that the main courtyard was far away from here.
There's still some distance to go.
He suddenly felt very embarrassed, because he had been showing off his power for a long time, but he had not even entered the front door of the house. If the people in the magistrate's office knew about this, he would be laughed out of his mouth. Thinking of this, he glared at him in warning.
The coachman who came with him took a look and it seemed that if he dared to talk nonsense when he got back, he would look good on him.
The carriage followed the carriage and arrived at the main entrance in a short time. Fang Laifu wanted to get off the car, but he heard Zhao Da's voice coming from outside the carriage, "Butler Fang, the young master's yard will be here in a while, please come.
Sit down for a while."
Fang Laifu couldn't help but feel jealous, how big is your garden?
Fu Dou'er, Lin Yuewei, Feng Rongxuan and Haizi were practicing calligraphy. Although they all wanted to go out and play, because Lin Zhu assigned a daily calligraphy practice task, they had to be patient and finish it first before doing anything else.
The few people who were feeling bored immediately became energetic when they heard that someone was visiting. Fu Dou'er, as the main host, straightened up his figure, pretended to be serious, and was ready to welcome the guests.
Lin Yuewei was born in the Lin family, so he was used to seeing all kinds of guests. However, this was the first time he received guests in person, and he was very curious.
"Master Fu, Master Yue, this is the housekeeper of the magistrate's office in Qingyun County. On the order of the magistrate's wife, I came here to thank the girl." Zhao Da led Fang Laifu and Fang Laifu into the front hall, and he sat at the head seat with them.
The two young masters explained their reasons for coming.
"Oh." Fu Dou'er nodded and looked in Fang Laifu's direction.
Fang Laifu was shocked when Zhao Da said that the two children sitting in the first place were the young masters. He had always thought that the owner of the garden must be an old man in his fifties or sixties, and the young masters should be adults.
Who would have thought that there were actually two children under the age of ten.
He suddenly felt that he didn't know how to deal with it, and he felt that he had been tricked. He stood there with an embarrassed expression on his face.
"Sister said that it is a pleasure to help others, so you don't need to give gifts." Fu Dou'er said seriously.
After hearing this, Fang Laifu felt happy. It seemed that these properties could fall into his hands. However, he couldn't show it too obviously. He felt that he should be polite and said, "What did you say, young master? My wife pays most attention to etiquette.
I would like to give you a small gift to express my gratitude, and I would like to ask the young master to accept it on your behalf."
"Is that so?" Fu Douer felt a little embarrassed. His sister said no thanks, but she still insisted on giving gifts. What should I do? He looked at Lin Yuewei next to him.
"Since it's a small gift, Uncle Zhao, please accept it." Lin Yuewei has been smart since he was a child and has seen many snobbish and hypocritical people. He vaguely felt that the butler below did not seem to want to sincerely give gifts. So he deliberately agreed.
.
"Uh." Fang Laifu was a little dumbfounded. How could this be different from what he expected? He was waiting for Fu Dou'er to refuse again, and then he took the things away without hesitation. He didn't expect to sit next to Fu Dou'er all the time.
After speaking out, Lin Yuewei actually nodded and accepted.
Fang Laifu's expression was a little unnatural, he laughed dryly, and asked Zhao Da, "Which of these two is the young master?" He did not think that Lin Yuewei, who was wearing cotton clothes, was also the young master of this family.
"This is Master Fu, and this is Master Yue. They are both the younger brothers of my girl." Zhao Da also understood the butler's thoughts at this time, and felt very contemptuous of him, so he deliberately said this to embarrass him.
.
Fang Laifu felt that his goal had failed, and he was very unwilling. Then he thought about it, how could he be the housekeeper of the magistrate's government, how could he be looked down upon by others?
"Manager Zhao, why don't you invite your master to come and see me? I can explain to my wife when I go back next time." Fang Laifu took out the sign of the magistrate's wife. "I'm afraid it's a little uncomfortable to have two children come to accept the magistrate's wife's gratitude.
Is that okay?" There was a hint of threat in his words.
"Sister, how can someone like you meet me?" Lin Yuewei gradually became a little angry. He had been in the Lin Mansion, so of course he knew what a county magistrate was, and the concept of hierarchy was much stronger than Fu Dou'er. For a low-ranking person like Fang Laifu,
He doesn't like people's rudeness very much.
Fang Laifu paused for a moment, and when he said this, his face became a little dark and shameless. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
