The long journey has already exhausted me.
Fang Zheng lay down on the familiar recliner in the backyard and quickly fell asleep.
I don’t know how much time passed before someone woke me up.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Tao looking at him with joy. He said happily, "Master, why didn't you send someone to tell me you were coming back?"
Fang Zheng rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked around.
He said with a serious face: "Oh, we dare not disturb you while you are taking a milk bath."
When Xiao Tao heard Fang Zheng teasing her, she smiled.
"I'm suffering outside, but you're living a more carefree life in the county than I am!"
As he said this, he saw Bai Yi standing next to him like a quail.
She was originally very fair, and maybe it was because of the milk bath, her skin was so fair that it was almost glowing.
He just shrank back and hid aside, not daring to speak.
When Fang Zheng saw her like this, he sneered, "Why are you hiding? The money for bathing will be deducted from your salary!"
"Milk bath! I've been dead for three days and I'm still not as white as you!"
Bai Yi's face suddenly fell.
It wasn't until Fang Zheng came back that she started to feel a little uneasy.
After working as a maid for a long time, she always has an indescribable feeling towards Fang Zhengyi.
I was a little scared...and felt inferior. I tried to adjust my mindset several times but couldn't get it back.
I was afraid of being scolded and having my salary deducted, and as expected...I was scolded again.
Xiao Tao glanced at her and quickly tried to smooth things over, "No, no, I'll treat her."
"Xiaobai, please go out first. I want to talk to the young master."
Bai Yi, as if he had been pardoned, quickly fled from the hospital.
Seeing the person leave, Fang Zheng stretched and said, "Give me a shoulder massage."
"Did anything happen at home while I was away?"
"Is there anything strange about Xiaobai?"
Xiao Tao squatted down and pinched Fang Zheng's shoulders, wondering, "No, Xiao Bai is usually with me, going shopping and buying things."
"But she has no money, so I bought all of them for her?"
Fang Zheng stood up and squinted at Xiao Tao: "No, you are a maid and she is a maid?"
"Xiaobai, I always feel like she's a little weird!"
Xiao Tao pushed Fang Zheng back and continued, "It's a bit weird."
"In the capital, I always like to go to a cloth shop called Qiansheng. I've been there and there's nothing wrong with it."
"I asked someone to follow her. Xiaobai was always in a state of disarray every time she came out of there."
"I guess.. maybe he wanted to buy new clothes but didn't have the money."
"Master, the money you gave is too little."
Is it too little? I give her three taels of silver every month, but she is not from Taoyuan.
Fang Zhengyi felt that he was generous enough, as his group of reporters only paid one or two taels of silver a month.
A maid of unknown origin earns three taels a month.
Usually, you just need to cook the dishes. You don’t need to clean the house because other maids will take care of it.
Even if Xiaobai is ornamental, it is not as beautiful as silver!
"How can a maid spend twenty taels for a bath? This kind of treatment cannot be found in the whole capital."
Xiao Tao rolled her eyes and said, "Then I'll wash it too, or I'll give you the money."
"Heh! I've been by your side since you were so young, and I raised you to this age. Can Xiaobai do the same?"
As he spoke, Fang Zhengyi gestured the height with his hands.
When I first picked Xiaotao up, she was not even as tall as my waist.
She was malnourished, a skinny little slug, pulling at me all day long, no different from my own sister.
In the blink of an eye, she has grown into a big girl.
"I don't care. Everyone has some secrets. You can handle it yourself, your maid."
"This time, Master, I got a new batch of silver from outside. You go to the warehouse and re-count the silver and make the accounts."
"Also, you've been wasting money while I was away! From now on, you are not allowed to spend more than five hundred taels a month."
Xiao Tao muttered, "I got a discount card for milk baths, 500 taels for 30 times..."
"What! Five hundred taels is not enough!"
Xiao Tao put more strength on her hands and continued to mutter, "I made the county's monkey wine. I earned 40,000 taels for the county! What's wrong with spending a few hundred taels to take a bath?"
It turns out that it was you, girl, who did this.
Fang Zhengyi was slightly embarrassed, coughed twice, and said with a stern face: "Cheating is shameful! We are doing legitimate business in our county, don't do it again!"
"From now on, you will only get 500 taels of pocket money a month, not a penny more. If you want to spend it, earn it yourself!"
"mean!"
Fang Zheng was amused: "I'm stingy? Go out and ask around, who isn't grateful to me, the young master, and praises me for being generous?"
"I brought you some good things this time."
"What?"
Xiaotao's eyes lit up and she stopped moving her hands.
Fang Zheng pointed casually and threw a bundle on the bench on the backyard corridor.
Xiao Tao walked over quickly, took the bundle, opened it and said in surprise, "Wow! So many jewelry?"
"Pick a few that you like and take them away!"
Xiao Tao looked through it for a while and said disappointedly, "Oh~, why not sell it for money?"
“Although many of the jewelry here are valuable, they are not as beautiful as the glass jewelry in the county!”
"Forget it, I'll just pick two for Xiaobai."
Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Tao: "I say...don't be fooled by Xiao Bai."
"That's impossible. Xiaobai looks silly and stupid. She's always in a daze by herself. I guess she's missing her parents."
"Don't worry, I will keep an eye on her. It hasn't been two years yet. I will tell you if there are any problems."
"Yeah, that's fine."
