My eunuch An is a yandere
Chapter 65 Being Controlled
There was no one else in the Earl's Mansion except the eunuchs sent by the palace to guard the house.
Such a big house is only passable on the surface, but there is only one empty room, so it is a problem where to sleep at night.
"Sir, where are we going to sleep tonight?"
Bai Liangchuan had no way of answering this question. He looked around and said uncertainly.
"How about we stay in a hotel tonight, and come back tomorrow to buy some things, including maids and servants."
Bai Shan shook his head violently. His unreliable and naive master might have said tomorrow, but if he really wanted to buy something, it wouldn't take at least three to five days, not even the furniture.
You can't stay in the hotel all these days, right?
Along the way, Baishan clearly felt that the closer he got to Kyoto, the more expensive the prices became.
A bookshop isn't a restaurant, so there's no telling how much money it can make. His young master, before he'd even begun to understand, had already assumed there was always enough money, a naiveté that drove his servant crazy.
"Master, I think we can go to the bookstore first and ask how much silver we can get. We have to start buying it today."
Bai Liangchuan felt that this was indeed the case, so he took out a sachet from his body and pulled out a letter from it.
The letter detailed the location and name of the bookstore, as well as a sentence in bold for emphasis.
-The bookstore is yours, but you have to obey Manager Chen in everything.
Bai Liangchuan never understood what his sister meant by this sentence, and he didn't think about it. He just remembered the key information and went out with Bai Shan.
When Anjiu came with the furniture servants, he only saw the locked gate of the Earl's Mansion.
The bookstore opened by Bai Ningwei was not originally for selling books, so it was located in a remote location to save money.
By the time Bai Liangchuan was found, it was almost dark.
"Thank goodness you found me, young master."
Bai Shan thought it was a close call. If he had been any later, if the bookstore had closed and he hadn't been able to get the money, he would have lost the small change in his hand.
"Why is it so off-center?"
Bai Liangchuan was also puzzled. When he stepped into the bookstore, he saw two young men with outstanding looks standing by the counter.
One was taller but thin, with a cold expression, and looked about seventeen or eighteen or nineteen years old; the other was much shorter, with a half mask covering his face, and was about fourteen or fifteen or sixteen years old.
Both of them have good looks, one has a devilish look and a chilling aura; the other one is serious, but he is young and it is difficult to tell whether he is a man or a woman. Wearing a mask only makes him look rebellious and unruly.
No matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like a shopkeeper, but more like a customer who comes to buy books.
Bai Liangchuan hesitated for a moment before finally fixing his gaze on Chen Xu. It was safer for the child to watch over him.
"Excuse me, is Shopkeeper Chen here?"
"I am Shopkeeper Chen. I presume you are Master Bai."
Bai Liangchuan blinked and looked Chen Xu up and down again. Chen Xu also cooperated and walked out from behind the counter.
She was petite and was mostly hidden by the counter. Only when she came out could people see that she was wearing the shopkeeper's clothes.
"How old are you to be a shopkeeper?"
Bai Liangchuan felt that either his sister was deceived or she deceived someone.
How could anyone let a child be the shopkeeper?
"I am already sixteen years old and proficient in arithmetic, so the Queen took a fancy to me and sent me here to be the shopkeeper."
Chen Xu knew what Bai Liangchuan was suspicious of, but she had been raised as a mistress by her family since she was young, and she had already learned arithmetic and common things. After practicing for a while, she became proficient in it.
Compared with managing a huge backyard, simply managing a shop becomes much simpler after mastering the skills.
Upon hearing that Chen Xu could become a shopkeeper at the age of sixteen, Bai Liangchuan immediately admired him and completely forgot that he was still wondering who had cheated whom.
I happily stepped forward and introduced myself.
"My name is Bai Liangchuan, and I'm my sister's older brother. I'm five years older than you, and I'm twenty-one this year. From now on, you'll be my good brother."
Bai Shan desperately pulled behind his master, but he didn't want to find brothers for himself like this. Young Master, you have found so many brothers along the way, but they just treated him as a sucker and used him to escape.
Chen Xu was stunned by Bai Liangchuan's actions, and the mask couldn't hide her visibly stunned expression.
No wonder Concubine De sent her a letter, writing it three times in a row, saying that she was the one who had the final say over the bookstore.
The brother of Consort Defei is a little unreliable. Who would become a brother to a stranger the moment they meet?
If Eunuch An had not reminded her that this was the story of Bai Liang, she would never have been able to connect such a person with the capable and resourceful Concubine De.
Ignoring Bai Liangchuan's good brother who was talking to himself, Chen Xu pointed to An Jiu's position and introduced him.
"This is Commander An of the Yanwu Guard, Eunuch Anjiu, and he is also the Empress's man."
An Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Liangchuan who glanced at him quickly and then avoided his gaze. He knew in his heart that he was a very good boy and a playboy. The relationship between him and people like him was like a natural cat and mouse, and he couldn't even hide from them.
He had no intention of building a good relationship with Bai Liangchuan, he just wanted to keep an eye on him and make sure he didn't get into any trouble.
So he clasped his hands together and bowed, performing a gesture of respect as an equal.
"I'm Anjiu, and I was asked by the Queen to deliver some daily necessities to the young master. I ended up being late, and thinking that the young master should be here, I took a shortcut and waited here."
"Ah, thank you, thank you Brother An."
Bai Liangchuan found it hard to believe that Anjiu, who looked like he was not easy to mess with, was so polite and easy to talk to, just like a wolf telling a little white rabbit that he would become a vegetarian in the future.
My heart was pounding as I hurriedly returned the gift, saying thank you repeatedly.
An Jiu looked at his useless appearance, gritted his teeth secretly, and walked out holding Bai Shan by the scruff of the neck.
"Master, I'll take this little servant to the mansion to put the things away first. If you have any questions, just ask Manager Chen."
Bai Liangchuan looked at Bai Shan helplessly as he stretched out his hand to help him, and in the end he did not dare to pull the man back.
It took Chen Xu a cough to draw his attention back.
"My dear, the Queen said that although the shop is yours, I will be fully responsible for it. You know this, right?"
When Bai Liangchuan heard that they were going to talk about serious matters, he distracted himself and thought that Bai Shan should not be in danger. Then he put the person out of his mind and answered Chen Xu's questions in a serious manner.
"I know. My sister mentioned it in the letter. But what does it mean?"
"What I mean is, in the store, even you have to listen to me."
"Ah, why? But I'm the boss."
Bai Liangchuan was dumbfounded. Why did he, a boss, have to listen to a shopkeeper? He didn't understand.
"As you can see, the bookshop's location isn't great, and since it's just opened, it's not making much money. The Queen has a big plan and needs more manpower. The eldest son is also a scholar and the owner of the bookshop. He should make a greater contribution to its development, don't you think?"
Although Chen Xu was almost two heads below Bai Liangchuan, she possessed considerable power. Over the past few months, she had managed dozens of people, and her sense of pressure as a leader had grown somewhat.
When facing Bai Liangchuan, this little white flower-like guy, he can be scared.
This rhetorical question directly revealed Bai Liangchuan's desire to survive.
"Yes Yes Yes."
