Chapter Nineteen
Chapter 19: Not at ease
When the three of them had just walked out of the study, they saw that the door of their mansion had been opened. The housekeeper Bond stood by the door and pointed and shouted at the outside.
Immediately afterwards, the four servants walked in carefully with different furniture in their arms. After the four servants came in, many people wearing various clothes slowly walked in with the furniture in their arms, and several beautiful girls walked in with some light furniture in their arms.
At this moment, Bond finally noticed Lin Feng and the other two, but he was obviously surprised by Anne and Marlie standing on both sides of his master.
However, after all, he has received professional training and is not the kind of person who is not good at using it. After a moment of stammering, he ran to Lin Feng happily and said respectfully: "Master, these are the servants and maids I have found for you. Of course, there are also several cooks among them.
When those people heard about the conditions for recruitment by their masters, they immediately rushed forward. These people were selected from them. According to the area of the owner's mansion, these people were enough. I believe that they could pass the qualification with just a little training. Moreover, I purchased some daily necessities, including furniture, and asked them to bring them back together."
After saying this, Bond turned backwards and shouted: "Come on, let it go first and let the master see."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and stood there honestly and respectfully. When the newly recruited servants and maids heard the greeting, they immediately put down their items in their arms and ran behind Bond. However, these people obviously had no experience. After standing there, they didn't even know where to put their hands.
Bond seemed to feel the strangeness of the crowd behind him, and quickly lowered his body and turned his head and winked hard behind him.
Among them, a few clever maids saw Bond's eyes and immediately gave Lin Feng a gusto as he did. They all heard the words of worshiping Lin Feng. With these people taking the lead, the rest of the people also reacted and immediately said flattering words in panic, which was a mess for a moment.
Seeing this, Bond couldn't hold his face and hurriedly shouted back, and the crowd calmed down.
Fortunately, Lin Feng was not the kind of person who was arrogant. He was not angry when he saw this. He glanced around these people and found that the servants were all young and strong. Although the maids were all just like the appearance, they were very similar in height and even their figures were roughly similar. He understood in his heart that Bond had put a lot of thought into it.
He waved his hand casually and said lightly: "Okay, I understand. You can do the rest. Well... You have done a good job. I will reward you with five silver coins first and get them from the magic crystal card yourself."
After saying this, he gave Anne and Marley a wink and returned to the study room again.
The group of people outside the room was relieved when they saw that their master was not angry. Bond couldn't help but feel sweaty, and then ordered the group of people behind him to go busy.
He saw Lin Feng and the other two walking into the study room, looked at the few chairs he had just purchased, and hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't ask anyone to send the chair in.
As soon as Lin Feng and the other two returned to the study, Annie immediately smiled and said, "It seems that you are quite rich. You will reward your new housekeeper with five silver coins at one time."
"Annie, you probably don't understand."
Lin Feng shook his head and said casually: "Although I still have some gold coins now, these gold coins are all rootless water. However, even if they are rootless water for the time being, I must reward you. For example, this time, my housekeeper just recruited me back. Although I am the Grand Duke now, these servants and maids looked at the embarrassing appearance of my mansion, even if they dare not show their faces, they might have thought they were deceived by Bond's sweet words.
Even if I can't say anything in front of Bond, I will inevitably discuss it behind my back. It would be fine if I can't spread it. If it spreads, where should I put my face as the Duke of Snow Demon Wolf? Although the noble circle may know that I don't have much financial resources, the civilians outside don't know. If they all know, my flag will be erected in vain.
It is a small matter to damage my face, it is a big matter to damage the entire empire and the emperor! Therefore, my reward for Bond is just the surface, and the fundamental reason is to settle the hearts of these people."
Annie obviously had no talent in this regard. After hearing Lin Feng's words, she showed a puzzled expression on her face, as if she was still experiencing what Lin Feng was referring to, which made Lin Feng see it and couldn't help but feel dark in her heart.
On the contrary, Marley's face showed a sudden enlightenment expression. However, the next moment, he seemed to remember something, took out something from his arms, and handed it to Lin Feng: "Lin, Lin Feng, this is the 300,000 gold coins that the master asked me to bring. I just remembered it..."
Lin Feng saw the expression of Marley's sudden enlightenment before, and saw the magic crystal card he handed over, but sighed: "The Earl Hilton spent all his thoughts to please me! Three hundred thousand gold coins are also a lot for him."
As he said that, Lin Feng took the magic crystal card handed over by Mary and threw it into the space ring. He knew that although Hilton was already a quasi-elephant, he was just a viscount before. No matter how many industries a viscount was, it was already a lot to be able to give out 300,000 gold coins to please him.
When Marley heard Lin Feng's words, his expression was a little unnatural at first, and then it became loose again. Lin Feng couldn't help but feel deeply moved when he saw Marley's expression. In the eyes of others, Marley might seem a little stupid and a little stupid, but he knew that Marley was just inferior and was actually very smart. The unnatural expression just now showed his personal inner struggle.
It seemed as if I was telling him that since I had defected to Lin Feng, I shouldn't consider the original owner's side...
However, Lin Feng did not say anything more about this matter, but patted Marley on the shoulder and said in a gentle voice: "Malley, since you have come, I will naturally not treat you badly. Just be my chief guard first..."
Speaking of this, Lin Feng's expression was strange and he muttered: "...Although you are just a commander who is barely..."
Marley nodded heavily and did not say anything.
...
...
Since the chef had already been recruited, although the chef's skills were only average and the cooking tools and ingredients were not complete, fortunately he finally made a sumptuous lunch. Although the taste was average, Lin Feng and the other two were not the kind of picky people, and they quickly finished the lunch.
In the morning, four or five noble butlers came to the Duke's mansion to congratulate and brought gifts from their masters. Lin Feng naturally accepted them one by one. At the same time, he asked Bond to find someone to write a few invitation letters and handed them over to the nobles' butlers, and asked them to go back and hand them over to their masters.
As for the contents of the letter, I first expressed my gratitude to the gifts given by the other party, and then prepared to hold a banquet at the Duke's mansion to entertain everyone on a certain day...
After all, people please themselves just to make friends with them, how can they not express themselves?
In the afternoon, more and more noble housekeepers came to express their congratulations, which made the servants of the Duke's mansion very busy. In the end, even all the maids and cooks were called by Bond to pack up the gifts given by the nobles.
As for the gifts... they were nothing more than gold, silver and jewelry. In order to show off the show, these nobles were brought in carriages when they asked the housekeeper to send them to Lin Feng. Therefore, they suffered from the servants and maids from the Duke's Mansion.
However, Lin Feng generously rewarded each person with five silver coins, which immediately made these people feel no longer tired... Of course, it was in his heart.
As for the nobles who came to congratulate this afternoon, regardless of their title or position in the empire, Lin Feng asked Bond to prepare an invitation letter for them one by one, and they would take it back a little.
It was not until dusk that Bond handed over the statistical results of the harvest of this day to Lin Feng. Seeing the statistics of this day, especially after converting these miscellaneous things into gold coins, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel extremely satisfied.
In just one day, including all the support from Emperor Dandy, Robert and Hilton, Lin Feng obtained a total of more than 5 million yuan in gold coins.
Well... more than five million is finally enough for my start-up capital...
Lin Feng looked at the statistics and thought secretly.
But at this moment, I heard the sound of the door, and then Bond's voice came: "Master... there is a noble butler outside, saying that he would personally hand over the gifts in his hand to you to feel at ease."
There was some helplessness and some difficulty in his tone. After all, he, the butler, should do his best to handle such a thing, and he couldn't let his master worry, right? However, the other party insisted on seeing his master, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
When Lin Feng heard Bond’s words, he immediately frowned and asked, “Which noble butler is it?”
"...uh, according to him, he is the housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion. His name is Buffy." Bond outside the door heard the bad intentions in Lin Feng's tone and couldn't help but reply carefully.
Hearing this sentence, Lin Feng was a little surprised at first, but the next moment, he suddenly sneered in his heart! He carefully recalled the memory from five years ago... Buffy should be the butler of the Marquis' mansion. Humph, does the Marquis finally feel that the name "Lin Feng" is familiar...
But, what gift did he give himself?
Isn’t this the weasel greets the chicken with New Year’s greetings - don’t have a good intention!!
However, since you are here, I want to see what tricks you are playing!
Thinking of this, Lin Feng sternly said to Bond outside the door: "Let him come in!"
Chapter completed!
