Chapter 240 240. Don’t Leave
The head maid, Triss, is over seventy years old.
In recent years, it is obvious that he has aged a lot, with strands of white hair growing on his temples.
She is not an immortal, but just an ordinary human with black hair.
Because of breaking the limit, life span is extended by twenty years.
“Is this the recognition you deserve?”
Lovey shared the precious fruits of life with this silently dedicated person.
"I don't need it. Miss has given it to me before." Triss refused.
"Consuming it again actually has a certain effect and can increase your lifespan by about two to three years."
"I know. Let's talk about it when there's a chance. You can share the fruit with those who need it more."
"There are twenty fruits in this transaction, basically everyone gets one."
"Okay!" Triss accepted it.
After all, who would go against their own life? After taking the fruit of life, her hair miraculously returned to black. Looking at herself in the mercury mirror, she felt like she had gone back a few years.
Time passes quietly and imperceptibly.
After the Harvest Festival in July, my daughter turned two years old.
Seeing her growing taller day by day, Lovey was actually quite moved.
He recently started learning martial arts from his mother, and he wields a small wooden sword tirelessly all day long.
He is simply the bully in the family and he always tries to challenge everyone he sees.
Fortunately, there is Lovey to keep him in check. If Yue had gone a little too far, Da Lian would have been in trouble.
"Don't always hit girls there. It hurts their self-esteem." Lodel protested.
"If not hit there, where should we hit?" Lowe asked back.
Lodel squatted down, twisted her daughter's ear and spun it.
This trick works well on bad kids. Yue had no power to resist and cried for her daddy.
"Children are very fragile, shouldn't their ears be twisted?" Lowe hurriedly stopped them.
"Be obedient! If you don't, I will lock you in a dark room!" Lodel looked directly into her daughter's eyes and threatened her without any emotion.
Yue went too far, attacking people everywhere with a sword.
This kind of character must be corrected as soon as possible.
With the restraint of both her parents, Yue became much more quiet.
Lowe arranged for a maid to teach her to speak, and the two-year-old child could already speak some simple sentences.
For example, Dad, I'm hungry, I want to sleep, please be quiet, and so on. Because the weather is very hot, Yue likes to run to Luo Wei, she feels that her father is very cool.
It was cold and warm at night, and I became a clingy person.
"Master, Mixia said she wanted to be a maid, what do you think?"
"I have no objection, as long as everyone agrees"
"The key to this matter lies in your opinion, young master. If you insist on being willing, everyone will agree in the end." Mosuofei carefully studied Lovi's expression: "By the way, Lanlan wants to quit her job as a maid and return to the village"
"Why?" Lowe raised his eyebrows angrily.
"She said she had made enough money." Mosuofei asked Lanlan.
"No, I don't agree." Lovi asked Mosuofei to call Lanlan over.
After a while, the blue-haired maid came to Luo Wei with her head down. She put her hands in front of her with trepidation and called out, "Master."
Luo Wei rushed forward and stroked his tail, saying viciously: "You sold yourself to me for twenty years, and now is only the fifth year, not the sixth year yet!"
"Yeah, I know, there are still more than fourteen years left." Lan Lan showed a weak expression.
"When you become an old blue, I will let you go." Lowe pulled the tail roughly and went to a quiet little room on the same floor.
"No! Master, I can't take care of another baby."
Lanlan's situation is very special because she gave birth to a son and successfully gained everyone's envy and jealousy.
The maids like little Greg the most. He gets cuter and cuter as he grows older. He also has a fluffy little tail.
In comparison, Yue is just an annoying and annoying person.
Lan Lan had to be very careful to protect Gelie every day to prevent other women from touching him, but she couldn't stop him. Gelie had a lot of odor every day. Lan Lan was very upset, but she couldn't get angry with everyone, so she could only guard her son like a stingy person.
Lan Lan thought for a long time and wanted to send Ge Lie back to the village to be raised by his mother, but she couldn't bear to do so. She could only look for Lovey again.
"This is your son, not a pet. Can you please ask everyone to be more restrained?"
"How about this! Let me take care of Greg when he's a little older."
Lan Lan nodded reluctantly: "Okay!"
"You've gained weight recently, chubby Lanlan." Luo Wei hugged Lanlan tightly.
In August, the rainy season continues.
During the long and heavy rain, the progress of various projects in Fulin Fort was slow.
At the same time, a large number of refugees entered the city, and the resettlement issue once again became a difficult problem for the ruling party.
If Lowe had not foreseen and built a batch of houses in advance, the extra 10,000 people might have had to live in the mines.
In early September, we finally saw sunny days.
People cheered as they spent this unbearable rainy season.
Most people did not realize the disasters brought by the early rainy season, but just felt that it was a little longer than in previous years.
Some farmlands that are not harvested before the rainy season are bound to have a significant reduction in yield or even no yield at all.
The situation in the East Continent is turbulent.
The grain merchant who had not been seen for a long time came to Donggang City again and offered to buy grain at a high price.
Luo Wei finally learned that there was a food shortage on the mainland, and he did not stop the citizens from selling grain. He just issued a government order that they must sell grain at a unified price set by the government.
It is illegal for merchants to buy at low prices or for farmers to sell at low prices.
Xiqi, who was pregnant, was busy running around. She approached Lovi whenever she had the chance and said, "Master, the price of slaves in the Talon Empire has dropped a lot. I heard that a good and strong laborer used to cost five gold royals, but now it may only cost two."
"You wait until the price is right, then buy a group of people."
"The key is how much do you want? Ten thousand? Or twenty thousand?"
"The starting price is one hundred thousand. If you exceed that, come and discuss with me."
Dongguan City is gradually approaching a population of 140,000, as evidenced by the first row of houses on Fulin Road beginning to be filled up.
In order to control the increased population, the number of city defense troops is expected to increase to 2,000. The number of guards is also expected to increase to 2,000.
Such a drastic plan to increase troops will put tremendous pressure on the finances.
As the saying goes, it is easy to add staff but difficult to lay off staff.
After Lovi took the position of consul, he deeply understood Bruno's situation.
Due to the time difference, I was so busy in the first few days after taking office that I was overwhelmed. Fortunately, I had the assistance of scholars.
After holding on for a few days, Lowe began to delegate the more troublesome tasks to others, and then things became easy.
With Lovey's insistence, the concubines in the harem finally stopped objecting to Misha becoming a maid.
The maid team has one more person, which is perfect for a shift change and rest.
Besides, Xiqi has a lot of things to do every day. Being a maid is just a cover for taking advantage of the benefits.
Misha is just the right person to replace her.
