don't wear no acquaintance

Chapter 249 Observe words and emotions

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, and thank you, cousin An Wang!"

In the end, the Lord of Xining County boarded Bai Shile's boat, and Ye Lingfeng agreed, and he agreed for the sake of money!

However, the county master of Xining was only allowed to take two of his personal maids, Shu Xiang and Mo Xiang, with him. As for the rest of the people and their belongings, they were left to find their own boats.

For this reason, the Lord of Xining County deliberately left his mother, Princess Yongchang, to take care of her, but in fact he urged Grandma Wang who was looking after her to take care of the aftermath, while he patted his butt and followed Bai Shile and the others.

Bai Shile ignored Xining County Lord's thanks, as she had strong opinions on where this troublesome spirit should live.

Their ship is not very big. There are only four small rooms in the lower cabin, all of which are already occupied. Only three small rooms in the top cabin on the second floor are still empty. In order to keep her ears clean, Bai Shile decided to let Xining County Master and others live in it. , then said coldly;

"There are still vacant rooms upstairs. The County Lord will go up and see which room to stay. Don't walk around on the ship if you have nothing to do on weekdays. I will not be responsible if there is an accident!"

He said what needed to be said and warned what needed to be warned. After that, Bai Shile took Zhao Yunshen into his small room and closed the door.

"It's so cold, I'm in the room too!"

Princess Wenxi, who was extremely dissatisfied, left these words and entered her room without looking back.

As for Yurun and Xia Guang, they were busy on their own, and soon only Ye Lingfeng and Xining County Master were left on the deck, standing in the morning breeze with their eyes wide open.

"Cousin, will it be too cold upstairs?"

"It's extremely cold. If not, please get off the boat!"

She had her own considerations in allowing County Master Xining to board the ship, but this did not mean that she could push her further. Ye Lingfeng said this unceremoniously and gave her a warning look.

"Cousin An Wang, calm down, Xi Ning was just talking casually..."

"Don't you know how unflattering your words are?"

The Lord of Xining County, who did not dare to offend him at all, endured the aggrieved feeling in his heart and immediately opened his mouth to explain. However, Ye Lingfeng had no patience to listen, and said this in front of the two maids without any shame, which almost made the Lord of Xining County angry. Lost control on the spot.

The Lord of Xining County...

Bear with it!

"Now that you are on this ship, just stay on it obediently. If you want to cause trouble, I will not care about my aunt!"

Ye Lingfeng warned solemnly with a dangerous light in his eyes.

Speaking of this matter, the Lord of Xining County knew very well that if she were not the princess's mother, she would be nothing in front of this cousin!

"My cousin is so considerate!"

Thinking of his father's ominous background and the current situation of his quarrel with his mother, he was wary of the arrogant and arrogant County Lord Xining. For the first time, he swallowed all his emotions and replied in a low voice.

Ye Lingfeng was obviously more sophisticated than observing words and expressions. He could see at a glance what Xining County Master was thinking, but he still sneered indifferently and walked towards the stern of the ship.

The three masters and servants of Xining County who stayed on the bow deck stood blankly, and the two maids were even more frightened. Finally, Shuxiang had the courage to break the embarrassment;

"County Master, it's extremely cold here, if you don't want to go into the room to rest!"

Hearing this, Lord Xining, whose eyes were staring at the distance with hatred, turned to stare at her. The two maids, Shuxiang and Moxiang, stiffened instantly. The chill that shot up on their soles was even more biting and cold than the cold wind in the morning. I secretly prayed in my heart that I would not be punished.

Perhaps it was Ye Lingfeng's warning and some concerns about the situation at this time, but Xining County Lord did not attack the two maids after all. He glanced coldly at the closed door of Bai Shile and Zhao Yunshen's small room, turned around and raised her skirt to face them. Go to the stairs leading to the second floor;

The two maids who had escaped the disaster did not dare to neglect at all and hurriedly followed them carrying several large baggage.    …

"Please ask grandma to settle some losses for me..."

Dida, who was robbed and damaged by water bandits and lost her own brother, endured her grief and spoke to Grandma Wang, who was in charge of everything.

Because of his greed for money and the power of Princess Yongchang's palace, he had no choice but to take this trip. Unexpectedly, he took the life of his brother and the ship he depended on for survival. This was a fatal blow to Di Da, but The most urgent thing to do was to clean things up so that he could rush back and prepare for his brother's funeral.

"It's time to clean things up!"

Without the Lord of Xining County, Grandma Wang, who was sitting on the main seat and being served by her maids, started to show off. After saying this, she squinted at Di Da, who was standing dejectedly with her eyelids drooping obviously, her eyes filled with joy. It's disdain.

"Thank you, grandma, for your consideration!"

She always felt uncomfortable in her heart, but after hearing what Grandma Wang said, Di Da was still grateful and thanked her.

"Don't be too busy thanking me yet!"

I didn't want Grandma Wang to say this lukewarmly.

Immediately, Di Da had a bad premonition in his heart, but he thought that the people in Princess Yongchang's Mansion were also respectable. Although he did not send this group of people to Binzhou as mentioned earlier, they got married because of the water bandits' rebellion. He lost his brother's life and damaged a family's boat. Now he could only place all his hopes on this compensation!

Thinking like this, Di Dazhen stared at Grandma Wang openly.

"Then please ask grandma to do the math. Once this matter is cleared up, I can go back and prepare for my brother's death!"

As he spoke, Di Da couldn't help but blush, and because of the maids and women in the room in front of him, he gritted his teeth and forced back the tears.

"It's really unlucky to have something like this happen during the first month of the year!"

Grandma Wang said this again, and Di Da, who was grieving in her heart, didn't know whether she was referring to the robbery by the water bandits or the death of her brother.

However, he thinks it should be the former.

"Fortunately, the county mistress is fine, otherwise your brother will not be able to live in peace even if he dies!"

Di Da, who believed that all human beings are kind, was filled with anger after hearing what Grandma Wang said, and his face became ugly. He also thought that although Grandma Wang was a servant, she was also an old slave of Princess Yongchang's house, so she gritted her teeth and endured it. down.

"That's all, I'll settle it for you."

Seeing that Di Da's face was so ugly and frightening, Grandma Wang didn't dare to say anything else. She reached out and took a bag of silver from the maid on the floor. She looked at Di Da and said again;

"On the day we chartered the boat, we agreed that the ship fare to Binzhou would be a total of one hundred taels. We already gave you a deposit of twenty taels on that day. The remaining eighty taels will be paid to you after we arrive in Binzhou. Unexpectedly, such a disaster has occurred..."

At this point, Grandma Wang looked at the silver bag in her hand, then took a sip of tea in a leisurely manner, and then spoke again;

"Calculating that we have only walked less than half of the journey, and the county mistress was frightened, we also lost a few people..."

Hearing this, Di Da's heart couldn't help but sink, and he realized what Grandma Wang was trying to do.

"Even if something like this happens, our Yongchang Princess Mansion will not treat you badly."

As soon as the conversation changed, Grandma Wang's words made people feel a little more reassured, so Di Dabang continued to listen patiently.

"This part of the journey will be counted as half of your journey, and I will pay you half of the silver. As for the twenty taels of silver I paid earlier, it will all be regarded as a reward, and it will also be considered as the burial expenses for your brother..."
