Chapter 1349
Xiao Ma's real name is Ma Jiufu, he is a relative of the old housekeeper Hu Tian, and he followed Hu Tian into the Shen residence. He is quick-witted, industrious, and able to come up with things. He has the potential to take over Hu Tian's position as housekeeper after he retires.
Ma Jiufu is now also a father. He married a dutiful woman in his hometown and gave birth to a daughter last year. The family's expenses are basically supported by the monthly money Ma Jiufu got from Shen's family. In addition, the people in Shen's residence are always kind to the servants, and the treatment is generous, so Ma Jiufu is going to work hard here for the rest of his life.
Is there a future for Tangtang to work from the family of the fourth-rank real power lord? There must be! Didn't you see that Hu Tian received courtesy from various officials as a housekeeper in the past? Isn't it because of Master Shen's face?
But Master Shen had an accident two years ago, and his life and death are uncertain. The atmosphere in Shen's residence fell to the bottom for a while, and it has gradually stabilized in the past six months, but neither the first lady nor the second lady had smiles on their faces. The three fox girls who used to be carefree also often hide in the corner with tears in their faces and cry softly.
Ma Jiufu also cried several times, but he cried while hiding under the covers. Worried that the good days of Shen's family falling into ruin would never come back, and also worried about Master Shen who looked fierce but was actually a good person. Anyway, the mood is very complicated.
Many times Ma Jiufu imagined the scene when Lord Shen knocked on the door one day, and by then the haze over Shen's house would definitely be gone.
But after waiting for more than two years, just when Ma Jiufu was not expecting much in his heart, Lord Shen appeared outside the door with his hands behind his back smiling.
It's still that smile that's not a smile, that eyes that feel as sharp as a knife blade, and that breath that feels chilly when you get close.
"Master Shen! You, you're back!?" Ma Jiufu subconsciously knelt down, then hugged Master Shen's legs, tears streaming down like a gate.
People often say that they weep with joy, and Ma Jiufu realized it this time. He had never been so excited when his wife gave birth to him.
"Get up, if you wipe your snot on my pants, your monthly payment for this month will be reduced by at least half." Shen Hao patted the horse's head and jokingly asked him to get up. It was all in the hands of the old man in the family. To be honest, Shen Hao was also very moved when he saw his emotional expression when he came back.
"Master Shen, as long as you come back, I don't need monthly money for this year!" Even though he said so, Xiao Ma still let go of Shen Hao's legs in a numb manner, and stood up with a smile on his face. It's so bright you can barely see your eyes.
Then without waiting for Shen Hao to speak. Xiao Ma patted his thigh and bluffed: "I'll tell the eldest lady!" Then he turned his head and ran away wildly. While running, he could hear him screaming hoarsely.
"Master Shen is back!"
"Master Shen is back!"
Shen Hao smiled, scolded the pony for bluffing, and walked into the mansion while raising his legs. At the next moment, six well-dressed monks jumped out from the corners and knelt on one knee on the left and right.
"My subordinates will pay tribute to your lord, congratulations on your safe return, and your cultivation has greatly improved!"
The six of them are already familiar with each other now. To be honest, they also believed in Shen Hao's return from the very beginning, but later felt that there was little hope. Now they were overjoyed to see Shen Hao returning safely, but they were much more stable than Ma Jiufu, and they just shouted louder.
Another aspect is that while the six people were delighted, they were also horrified. What is the state of Mr. Shen today? So much so that they couldn't see Mr. Shen's cultivation level at all. Is this the stepping into Yuan Dan realm and consummation? Or a higher realm? !
The secret service three have become numb. They have experienced "surprise" to "horror" and then "sure enough", and now "oh".
On the contrary, the three hidden guards are still in the second stage, and it will take some time to understand Shen Hao's speed in cultivation.
"Get up. Is there any guest at home?" Originally, Shen Hao wanted to ask Xiao Ma, but that guy ran to report the letter, so he asked the people who just jumped out. He came in because he saw the doorway stopped for two A luxuriously decorated carriage, although it didn't park enough to block the door, was still very close. Parking the carriage like this is not very polite, at least it doesn't show much respect to the entire Shen family.
The smiles on the faces of the six faltered, and then the secret service trio took on a more venomous meaning, and one of them cupped his hands and replied, "My lord, I'm the steward of two imperial merchants, and I've come to ask my family to be in the Zhangjia Wine Shop and Ge They belonged to the members of the American air conditioner."
"Oh? Those members are still at home?" Shen Hao was a little surprised when he heard that. He thought that these two hot potatoes should be thrown out after he disappeared. Chu Linxiang at home should understand this truth, and someone must have reminded them.
"My lord, these people heard that more than half of the second wife had gone out last year, and some more at the beginning of this year. The rest were left behind by the two ladies, saying that they couldn't destroy all the property you bought. In fact, they have Very few, less than 20% of the original. But there are still people coveting, and this is the sixth time. And the meaning of persecution is becoming more and more obvious."
The three special guards are now in charge of following and protecting Chu Linxiang and Yu Qiao, and the two women also trust them and do not shy away too much. So although they don't know how to speak out about many things, they are very clear in their hearts when they listen to them.
Shen Hao didn't affect his good mood when he went home because of this incident. The property matters will no longer be a problem after he returns. If you take things from your own home, those who know how to take them will take the initiative to return them. If not, Shen Hao can take it by himself slowly.
Royal merchants? What about the imperial merchants? Do you really think that the imperial merchants can take advantage of everything?
In just a few words, the entire Shen residence boiled rapidly amidst Ma Jiufu's yelling.
What is the backbone? It is that when he is around, everyone in the family feels at ease, and they can walk with their heads held high without caring about other people's words and glances, and they are not even afraid of wind and rain. And once he's gone, it's like walking on thin ice, and it's hard to even sleep well.
Now the backbone is back. Whether it's the servants who are still staying behind in Shen's mansion, or the women at home, all troubles can be put aside at this time, because these troubles are no longer worthy of being called troubles from the moment the backbone returns.
Noisy sounds and shouts of surprise filled the Shen residence.
Soon Shen Hao heard footsteps, and several familiar auras in his senses were rushing towards him quickly. After a while, the first thing I saw was Chu Linxiang running like a butterfly in a red dress, followed by Yu Qiao and three fox girls.
"Husband!"
"Husband!"
"Owner!"
Yingyingyanyan's voice was mixed with tears of joy, full of tenderness, and it felt as if the whole world was filled with fragrance. A sense of peace and joy filled Shen Hao's heart.
