Need for money

Walking up to the servants, he told them to be more agile, hurry back to the mansion, and clean the wooden barrels, iron spoons and other utensils. Lin Jingzhi and Aunt Yu rode their horses and walked towards the Lin mansion first. At the gate of the mansion, I saw Xu Fu, the chief housekeeper, standing at the gate, and a large group of people surrounded him opposite him.

"Second Lord, are you back?" Xu Fu saw Lin Jingzhi from a long distance away, and hurriedly bent over to meet him. When Lin Jingzhi jumped off the horse, he took the reins and handed them over to him. the servant beside him.

Lin Jingzhi nodded, and asked suspiciously: "Well, the porridge and rice for the refugees has been served, so I rushed back to rest for a while, what happened here, why are there so many people?"

"Back to the second master, because the house has been busy recently and there is a shortage of manpower, so the old slave asked the old matriarch for instructions to buy more servants." Yu Xufu replied.

"Oh, the mansion should add some manpower." Recently, the Lin Mansion has not only dispatched a lot of strong men to patrol the mansion during the day and night in batches, but also needs a large number of manpower to cook porridge and steam buns for the refugees in the kitchen. So manpower is indeed not enough.

"Second Master, why don't you choose it yourself?"

"No, it's up to you. You have more experience than me. You just have to remember that when you pick a newcomer, you must have clean hands and feet. Also, it doesn't matter if you have a dull personality. As long as your body is healthy and you can endure hardships and stand hard work, absolutely You can't choose those who are just a little smart and sneaky and sneaky!" Lin Jing had already stepped into the door before he stopped and gave another order.

Xu Fu immediately responded when he heard the words.

When he walked back to the mansion, he remembered that there was still a big thing to do, so he asked a few guards to follow him to the backyard. Halfway through, he stopped five or six strong men and walked into the small courtyard where he lived. .

As soon as he entered the small courtyard, Lin Jingzhi smelled a smell of Chinese medicine. It was obvious that Tang Yuxiang was refining Chinese medicine again today.

"You guys are waiting here, Yu'er, you and I go in and pack up your things first." Lin Jingzhi gave orders to several guards, and then walked into the bedroom with Aunt Yu one after the other, and came to the back room. Aunt Yu asked suspiciously: "Second Master, what did you call the maid and concubine in for?"

"Hey, this is a secret. Come on, help me clean up the bedding on the bed first." Lin Jingzhi said as he walked to the side of the bed, lifted the bed gauze left and right, and hung it on the hooks on both sides .

He bent down and hugged Tang Yuxiang's quilt into his arms, and a pleasant scent of a woman rushed into his nose. Thinking back to the touching scenes between family and relatives, most of his anger towards Tang Yuxiang dissipated immediately. People can show a satisfied smile just because they have a full meal, so why should they have conflicts with their beautiful wife because of such a trivial matter.

Compared with those poor refugees, I am now not only rich and powerful, but also have many wives and concubines, contented.

Aunt Yu has been looking around since she entered the back room. This is the first time she has entered Lin Jingzhi's bedroom, and the clothes inside are not very luxurious, not much better than her boudoir. Afterwards, she found something unusual. , Why are there two places in the house covered with quilts?

Didn't Lin Jingzhi and Tang Yuxiang sleep together at night?

impossible!

Although she didn't like the second mistress, she was secretly jealous of Tang Yuxiang's beauty. There should be no man who can resist the temptation of such a stunning beauty.

What's more, what's more, the two of them slept in the same room at night.

Putting Tang Yuxiang's brocade quilt on the recliner, seeing Aunt Yu still not moving, Lin Jingzhi urged: "Hurry up, help me take all the things off the bed."

"Oh." Aunt Yu glanced at Lin Jingzhi suspiciously, and then stepped forward to help, first took the mattress to the reclining chair, and then, the two of them lifted the thick woolen felt underneath and put it on the bed. aside.

"Second Master, what are you doing?" At this moment, Tang Yuxiang heard that Lin Jingzhi had returned to the small courtyard, and hurried back to the hut without changing his clothes.

Could it be that the second master is so angry this time that he wants to drive me outside to sleep?

Seeing that all her quilts on the bed were picked aside, Tang Yuxiang was startled. Although she never thought of taking power in the Lin Mansion, she was unwilling to be kicked out of this house by Lin Jingzhi before she left the Lin Mansion. Well, within a few days of being snatched into Lin's mansion, she understood that life would be very difficult for a mistress who was neglected by men in a wealthy compound.

Even maids and servants dare to bully her head.

Because most of his anger had subsided, Lin Jingzhi didn't want to have a cold war with Tang Yuxiang anymore, so he replied casually: "It's nothing, I just want to take out the things under this bed."

"Oh." Tang Yuxiang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, then turned his head and looked at Aunt Yu, "Sister Yu is here too, are you tired, do you want to sit down and rest for a while?"

"No need." Aunt Yu directly ignored Tang Yuxiang's accompanying smiling face, and replied coldly.

Seeing this, Lin Jingzhi frowned, what's going on?Are there conflicts between the two?

"Second master, the concubine is exhausted and wants to go back to rest for a while. If the second master wants to go out in the afternoon, let the maid pass a message to the concubine." Aunt Yu really didn't want to be in the same room with Tang Yuxiang, so she said Come on, turn around and leave.

"Wait, don't go yet." Lin Jingzhi looked the two of them back and forth a few times with his eyes, and then said, "Don't rush away, I will let you see a rare thing later, if you really feel Tired, just sit on my recliner."

After that, he pointed in the direction of his reclining chair with his finger.

Aunt Yu was just looking for an excuse to leave, she wasn't really tired, she stood there and hesitated for a while, but finally didn't say she wanted to leave again.

Lin Jingzhi felt that even if the two had conflicts, it would not be good to ask them in front of them at the same time. Anyway, he would go out when he had time in the future, and called in the guards and strong men from the courtyard.

These guards and strong men never thought of being able to enter the master's bedroom. After entering, they all lowered their heads and stared at the ground, no one dared to look up.

"Come on, lift the bed board first." Lin Jingzhi greeted, and two guards were more discerning, and hurried forward to help, as the bed board creaked and slowly moved, the marble hidden inside was released. caught everyone's eyelids.

"Huh? Why is there a stone under this bed?" Tang Yuxiang moved closer to him, curiosity flashed in his eyes, and then he stretched out his little hand to stroke it lightly. When they touched it, his fingertips felt cold.

Aunt Yu also walked up to her. Although she didn't ask any questions, she looked at Lin Jingzhi with confusion.

"I'll tell you both later." Lin Jingzhi chuckled, and finally he was able to clear out this deadly rock. When he said it, he saw Tang Yuxiang sleeping on it every day, and he was really worried.

Then he said to the servants in the house: "Come and try, see if you can move this stone out, the bed can be dismantled, and then I will find a carpenter to nail another one."

"Yes!" Hearing the words, several servants surrounded him.

"Come on, I'll call out the chant, and you all work harder together." Lin Jingzhi also stepped forward, and seeing several people put their hands on the corners of the marble, he opened his mouth and shouted: "One, two, push harder!"

"One, two, use force!"

He shouted three or four times, but the marble did not move.

"Well, it seems that this stone is quite heavy. In this way, the two of you will find a few thicker hemp ropes here, and the two of you will get a few shovels and hammers, and the rest will be more Get some people to come and help."

After Lin Jingzhi finished giving his orders, he, Tang Yuxiang and Aunt Yu were the only ones left in the room.

Tang Yuxiang's curiosity was obviously stronger. Seeing that there was no servant in the house, she asked again: "Second Lord, what's going on? Where did the stone under the bed come from? Also, it's so good, why did you put it on?" Move this stone out?"

Tang Yuxiang just slept on it for a short time, and her body didn't cause any discomfort, so she didn't know how powerful this marble is, but after hearing Lin Jingzhi's next explanation, her heart was beating wildly, and her expression was the same as Aunt Yu's. Great change!
