Chapter 201 Wang Yilu's Identity
"Nirvana in Fire? How come I've never heard of it before?" Wang Yilu frowned and thought, "I've read all the new stories published every year, but I've never heard of this name."
Hang Qi immediately felt that this was a good opportunity to show his courtesy, "Miss, I asked my classmates in Beijing to find it for me."
Wang Yilu was a little surprised, "You have classmates in Beijing?"
"Of course," Hang Qi said with a hint of pride, "I studied in the capital, so naturally I have many classmates."
"So, you are from Beijing?" Wang Yilu's eyes were bright as she stared at Hang Qi.
When Hang Qi saw her curious eyes, he felt even more excited and was more willing to show off his knowledge.
…
Xiao family.
The five people brought back needed a simple division of labor, and Lin Xi asked about their abilities.
Aunt Fu and Konggu were in charge of the kitchen, while Youlan was in charge of cleaning. As for the care of the vegetable garden and the fields at home, they were all handed over to Xiao Chu and Xiao An.
Aunt Fu is the oldest among these people, so she naturally takes on the responsibility of managing everyone.
Accommodation for servants has been reserved in the new house, which was something Xiao Yongyan insisted on adding.
Lin Xi said to everyone, "You three women will live in the first room on the east side, and the two men will live in the first room on the west side. Also, let me tell you about the treatment for working in our Xiao family."
Referring to some modern ideas, Lin Xi set the rules, "Work from sunrise to sunset. You can have four days off every month. If you want to take a break, tell me or my husband in advance. As for wages, each person will get 500 wen per month as a base, and there will be additional bonuses based on performance this month. I will provide three meals a day."
When she said this, Aunt Fu's face showed something puzzled, "Madam, three meals a day?"
Lin Xi had a meal. She almost forgot that, apart from their Xiao family, other families seemed to have two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
"I forgot to mention that we have always had three meals a day: one in the morning, one at noon, and one at sunset."
Aunt Fu couldn't help but be a little surprised. No wonder the lady arranged two people in the kitchen. It turned out that there were three meals a day, and without more people, they really couldn't handle it.
"In addition, there are extra benefits for Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Spring Festival, and Lantern Festival, which are delicious food. Four sets of clothes a year, the material is given to you, you make them yourself, and you need to wear the clothes when you go to work on weekdays."
After Lin Xi said this in one breath, everyone went cold.
They provide food and accommodation, money and clothes, which is much better than farming at home.
Lin Xi was about to say her closing remarks when she glanced at Konggu and Youlan, "There is one more thing I almost forgot to say. My husband and I are the only legitimate masters of the family. No matter what the purpose is, don't let me see anyone trying to take advantage of my husband. Let me make it clear, if anyone dares to climb into my bed, I will tear her apart."
After saying that, Lin Xi turned and left.
Konggu and Youlan looked at each other. Youlan curled her lips and said, "Isn't this directed at us? How can I look like someone who would climb into bed?"
Konggu consoled him, "It's normal for people to knock on the door."
Aunt Fu agreed with Konggu's point of view, "Although there is no other way but to sell our bodies, we are lucky to have met such a good owner. We should work hard and not think about things that we shouldn't think about."
Youlan was even more depressed. "I've never thought about it, okay? I'm a widow without children, how could I have any desire for someone I shouldn't have?"
"Madam, you just said that. It's not directed at anyone," Konggu comforted.
A few people went back to rest first, and started working officially the next day.
On this day, Xiao Yongyan did not go to school for a rare occasion. Instead, he took Lin Xi with him, saying that he was going to Xucheng.
Suddenly he said he wanted to go to Xucheng for no reason. Lin Xi was a little confused. "Why are you going to Xucheng all of a sudden? Are you going to inspect Feng Miao's work?"
Xiao Yongyan shook his head, "I went to verify some things."
Rushing to Xucheng again, they were already familiar with the route and arrived at Xucheng at dusk.
Feng Miao seemed to have received the news in advance and was waiting at the door early. When she saw Xiao Yongyan and Lin Xi coming in, she hurriedly said, "Young Master, Young Madam, the food is ready, please enjoy."
Feng Miao herself is not very good at cooking, so all the food is bought from restaurants.
Xiao Yongyan asked, "Has anything strange happened in Xucheng recently?"
Feng Miao was stunned, "What do you mean, young master?"
"Has there been any movement from the governor recently?"
Feng Miao thought about it and said uncertainly, "The governor has not been unusual recently. If you must say there is something different, it seems that the number of people entering and leaving the governor's mansion has increased a lot compared to before."
Xiao Yongyan put down his chopsticks and said with concentration, "It seems that what I thought was right."
Lin Xi was confused by Xiao Yongyan's words, "Don't play dumb with me, what do you mean?"
"The girl we rescued that day might be the prefect's daughter." Xiao Yongyan said.
Lin Xi was stunned. The girl was the prefect's daughter!
"Then why did you hand the person over to Hang Qi? Aren't you afraid that something might happen between them?" Lin Xi said excitedly.
"Xi'er, don't get excited. This is just my guess." Xiao Yongyan said, "We still need to verify the details."
"Verify what?" Lin Xi said anxiously, "Just tell the governor no, there's no need to delay."
In Lin Xi's opinion, the father must be extremely anxious after losing his daughter, and it is a waste of time for Xiao Yongyan to still wait here.
"Xi'er, this matter is not as simple as you think." Xiao Yongyan said, "If my guess is correct, the girl should be the governor's illegitimate daughter, and his wife may not know about it. It would definitely not be appropriate for us to go directly to his house to ask him. If he uses the governor's name to ask Hang Qi for someone, it will be troublesome if his wife finds out."
Lin Xi was speechless. She had a good impression of the governor before, but this girl turned out to be his illegitimate daughter. She was speechless, how could he sit there even though his daughter was missing?
"I don't know the details. I didn't know the identity of this girl at first. After I went back, the more I thought about it, the more familiar she looked. Then I remembered that I seemed to have seen her somewhere before." Xiao Yongyan was lost in memory. "The last time I saw her, she was still a little girl, but her eyes have never changed."
From Xiao Yongyan's tone, Lin Xi seemed to be used to such things. She could only say that your circle is really messy.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Lin Xi asked. He couldn't let the lady know, but he had to tell the governor the news.
"Find an excuse to ask the person out." Xiao Yongyan said.
At this point, Lin Xi suddenly had an idea, "Why not use the identity of Madam Linglong to create momentum."
