I am reborn as a lord in Rome
Chapter 9
Mrs. Leah also knew the trick up to the point, and after Woolley was stunned, she only said that "this must be a new twist on Lyndor Manor", and then she did not talk about the engagement, but chatted with Woolley while eating, and left many reveries to Woolley.
Although he had already guessed Lady Leah's intentions, Tina's red cheeks finally conquered Woolley after two symbolic drinks - after drinking several glasses in a row, he felt that Tina was a beauty like a sable cicada, her every move was so good-looking, her smile was so cute, and she couldn't take her eyes off it.
This boy is indeed as virtuous as his father. Lady Leah's cheeks were flushed from the drink, but she continued to signal Tina to advise Woolly to drink.
When Gauguin once again filled the empty wine glass in front of Woolley, Woolley staggered to his feet: "I'm very sorry, I have to take my leave." With
that, Woolley walked crookedly to the outside of the restaurant, the wine was already up, and if he didn't leave at this time, he was afraid that he would be out of the basket if he stayed any longer.
Mrs. Leah hurriedly stood up: "Woolley, your bedroom has been cleaned up for you, where are you going?"
"Go back, Baishi Building." Woolley waved his hand, stumbled out of the dining room, and immediately ran towards the gate of the manor.
"Woolley ......" Tina chased after Gauguin at the signal of Lady Leah.
Woolley was small and drunk, and he didn't run far before he was pulled by Gauguin.
"Gauguin. Woolley struggled twice, and saw Tina trotting after him, and quickly lowered his voice and said, "Do you want to do nothing for the rest of your life at Grindor Manor? If you don't want to, then send me out of the manor at once, and go to the mill as soon as the Winter Festival is over, and I can give you far more than Lady Leah."
Gauguin was stunned, and then hesitated, if he said what he said just now, he might not believe it, but the other party was Woolley, a Woolley who had just left Glyndor Manor and was very popular.
"You only have this one chance, Gauguin Freeman. Woolley frowned.
"Okay. Gauguin nodded his head and let go of Woolley's hand.
"Goodbye. Woolley turned his head and ran to the gate of the manor, without Gauguin's obstruction, the slave guarding the gate would never dare not open the door.
When Nepton, who had been drunk in the mill, staggered back to the White Rock Building with his wheelbarrow, he saw Woolley, who was also red-faced.
"I am, Wollongong, an idle ......," Woolley sang indistinctly.
At the same time, Gauguin returned to his room with a tired face, he had been "enjoying" Madame Leah's scolding all the time just now, but for some reason, this time he didn't even hear a word, and all the while, his mind was echoing Woolley's words.
"Maybe ......," Gauguin snorted and climbed into bed.
On the morning of the second day of the Winter Festival, Gauguin took the opportunity to make a purchase and slipped away to Woolley's mill. In the large pergola erected next to the large wooden fence, he saw Woolley who was facing the fire.
"I like it with eyesight. Woolley smiled and pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for Gauguin to sit down, "I'm waiting for you for a long time."
After Gauguin sat down, he glanced around a few times, and praised with a smile: "Young Master Woolley's mill is really big, this length and width are estimated to be more than three hundred cubits."
"It's four hundred and fifty cubits, and this stretch of the riverbank, which was originally a cornfield for the temple, was specially given to me by the high priest Mikoyan, and there was not much of a harvest from planting corn anyway. Wu Lai said, pointing to the two clay pots on the small table next to the chair, "I know that it is inconvenient for you to drink, so I prepared some jerky and snacks, and eat them." Gauguin
hesitated, nodded his head and thanked him, reached out and lifted the lid on the clay pot, and his breath suddenly stagnated - one of the two clay pots was really filled with dried meat, and the other was filled with silver coins with white flowers, and according to the size of the clay pot and the height of the silver coins, I am afraid that there must be hundreds of them.
"It's all prepared for you, don't be in a hurry to eat, just pack it and take it away in a while. Woolley smiled and gently closed the lid of the clay pot, and his smile suddenly narrowed, and asked, "Gauguin, what would have happened if I hadn't left that night?"
Is this still what a twelve-year-old child can do? Gauguin thought to himself as he counted the silver coins in the clay pot.
"Say, Gauguin, you have to show your loyalty to me, as you did to my father. Woolley's expression and tone undoubtedly made it more difficult for Gauguin to guess, "My father gave you freedom, and I, too, am happy to give dignity to those who are loyal to me, by the way, in this world, dignity is built on wealth, right?"
"That's right, Master Woolley, you're right. Gauguin finally made up his mind, "If Master Woolley was drunk that night, I think when you wake up, you will find that you are sleeping with Miss Tina, of course, this is just a conjecture of mine, not necessarily accurate, however, it was for similar reasons that Simon's master married the widowed Lady Leah, please trust my judgment, Master Woolley." "
It's nothing if it's just like this, I almost thought it was a murder for money or something. Wu Lai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Gauguin, I trust your judgment, but it also raises a question, with Tina's beauty, as long as Lady Leah nods, there are a lot of nobles in Seneca City who want to marry, why are you eyeing me?"
"Young Master Wu Lai, you don't know something. Gauguin replied, "It is said that something happened to Mademoiselle Tina in Assyria, and it seemed dishonorable, that Madame Leah brought her back, and this has reached the ears of the nobles of Seneca, and Madame Leah is ashamed of it." "
And this?" Wu Lai was stunned, then sighed, and said, "No wonder, what is the current financial situation of Glyndor Manor?"
"Since Young Master Wu Lai left, he has lost money one after another. "Gauguin flattered Woolley without a trace," said Lady Leah, who was worried about the New Year's expenses, and the plan to renovate the manor had been cancelled.
Woolley nodded: "For Tina's sake and Aden's sake, I'll help her, I hope she won't bother me after she doesn't worry, Gauguin, you can remind her at the right time." "
Yes, Master Woolley. Gauguin said.
"By the way, if you're gone, who do you think Lady Leah is most likely to have to take over from you in charge of Glyndor Manor?" Woolley asked again.
"It should be Druja, who now manages the land. Gauguin thought for a moment and replied.
"Is it the old woman who is very fat and has a straight face at all times?" Woolley did not have a good impression of Druya.
"Yes, Master Woolley, but she's only in her forties. Gauguin replied with a smile.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Woolley looked at Gauguin, "After the New Year, you will come and be my butler, and I will pay you twenty silver coins every month, how about it?"
"I will be very happy to serve you, Master Woolley." Gauguin's heart beat nearly twice as fast, and Woolley paid more than twice as much as Lady Leah, and if it weren't for Woolley's statement that he would come back after the New Year, he would have liked to start working for Woolley now.
"It's good if you're satisfied, and when you're satisfied, I'll be satisfied. Seeing that Gauguin's attitude was as he expected, Woolley said with a smile, "Didn't I just say that I wanted to help Lady Leah, after you return to Glyndor Manor today, you will buy all the wheat stalks of Glyndor Manor for me, one silver coin and one standard ox cart, the drier the better." "
Young Master Wu Lai, the market price of one silver coin can buy seven or eight ox carts. Gauguin hurriedly reminded.
"Didn't I help Lady Leah by the way? Woolley pointed to the clay pot containing the silver coins, "There are three hundred and twenty silver coins in total, twenty of which are your monthly payment, and the other three hundred are for the purchase of wheat straw from the Glyndor estate.
After Gauguin heard that most of the money in the clay pot had nothing to do with him, his heart was like a fire being doused with cold water, not to mention how uncomfortable it was, but after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, Woolley didn't explain that the silver coins in the clay pot were for himself, but he just wishful thinking.
Forget it, I still have twenty silver coins to myself, so be content. Gauguin comforted himself.
"Huh, Gauguin, why has your face changed? What do you think?" Woolley's voice rang in his ears, "You don't think the money in the jar is all yours, do you? "
Wu, Young Master Wu Lai, I didn't misunderstand at the beginning, where could so many silver coins be given to me. Gauguin explained with some embarrassment.
"It's good to have this awareness, this is the first thing I give you to do, you must do it beautifully and brightly. Wu Lai's face was flat, and he instructed seriously, "What I like most as a person is to be upright, let you take it, if you don't take it, you have to take it, and if you don't let you take it, never get involved, because even I am afraid of the consequences."
Gauguin nodded hurriedly.
Before noon, Gauguin returned to the Glindor estate, and when he had finished reporting to Lady Leah about Woolley's purchase of wheat straw in a silver clay pot, Lady Leah was silent for a long time before asking, "Gauguin, is there any special news about wheat straw lately?"
"Absolutely not, Lady Leah." After Gauguin finished answering, he despised Lady Leah in his heart, and said in his heart that you really dare to think cranky, and you really wasted a piece of Young Master Woolley's kindness.
"You go and arrange it, well, forget it, just do what Woolly asks. Lady Leah hesitated for a moment and said.
"Yes, Lady Leah. Gauguin placed the clay pot on the table and turned away.
After Gauguin left, Madame Leah lifted the lid of the clay pot and looked at it, took out a few silver coins and checked them in her hand, and her mood gradually improved, although three hundred silver coins were not much, but they were more than enough for the New Year's banquet.
What the hell does this boy want the straw for?, Lady Leah thought to herself, counting the silver coins.
When Mrs. Leah was counting the money, Wu Lai appeared in the slave market, and not long after she walked in, the slave trader Hara greeted her with a flattering face: "Dear Young Master Wu Lai, I haven't seen you for a few days, is there anything I can do for you?"
"Oh, it turned out to be Hara." Woolley replied with a smile, "I'm just casually strolling, but if there is a suitable slave......
" Hearing Woolley's deliberate dragging words, where did Hola still have the reason to climb the pole: "Oh, Master Woolley, look at your modesty, how can you just go shopping, now who in the whole Seneca City doesn't know the name of Master Woolley, and is the owner of the Magical Mill, and is given the qualification to sign a contract by the temple, what kind of slave you can't afford? What kind of slave you can't buy?".
"Look at your sweet mouth. Woolley shook his head with a wry smile and asked, "Do you have any better slaves on hand?" "
Yes, yes, I happened to buy a batch of 'goods' from the Rodanaé Plain before the Winter Festival, and by your luck, they are all between sixteen and twenty years old, the man is healthy and strong, and the woman is healthy and beautiful, Master Woolley will definitely be satisfied, or I'll take you to take a look?"
Woolley smiled and nodded.
