Chapter 74 The slave deceives the master
"Okay, sir, how about these? Do you want to keep them?" The clerk's smile became more sincere. He didn't expect that he would gain something in return. If this deal goes through, he can at least live a luxurious life for the next month.
"Keep it for now. Bring the others here to take a look together!" Gu Yunzhou's expression was indifferent. The waiter happily took the order and left immediately after hearing what he said.
"This housekeeper looks really good. The former master must have been of high status. She has trained her well. Yunzhou, you are lucky!"
Wei Yu leaned in close and whispered to Gu Yunzhou. He secretly compared himself to the old woman. Their family also had a housekeeper, but in comparison, this old woman's demeanor was not inferior at all. So, one hundred taels of silver really wasn't expensive.
You know, an excellent housekeeper can not only manage the affairs of the mansion in an orderly manner, but also save the master's family a lot of trouble.
Especially for a family like Gu Yunzhou's, originally just an ordinary family, now attracting much attention due to Gu Yunzhou's gradual rise, with a constant stream of people coming to visit. Relying on Qin alone to deal with it is really a bit overwhelmed.
Therefore, the newly appointed housekeeper was a timely help to the Gu family. Her arrival would undoubtedly make the management of the Gu residence more orderly, while also relieving Qin's pressure and allowing Gu Yunzhou to stop worrying about the affairs of the harem.
After the waiter brought people over, Gu Yunzhou, with the advice of several people from the Wei family, selected an eighteen-year-old boy to be a servant. This boy had studied in a private school for a few years. Although his talent was average and he was only at the tenth level now, he looked quite smart.
The concierge was a taciturn, strong man, who happened to be the cook's husband.
When Gu Yunzhou picked the right people and was ready to leave, the man suddenly knelt down silently and started to kowtow. The cook also looked at Gu Yunzhou with red eyes and a pleading look.
This confused Gu Yunzhou, and he looked at the waiter.
After looking at Wei Yu and his group, I wondered if this was a unique custom in the Tianxing Continent, where they had to kowtow to show their loyalty before leaving!
But the cook's words soon cleared up everyone's doubts. She kowtowed and cried, "Sir, I beg you to buy my children as well!" Then she followed the doorman's lead and kowtowed.
"You are such a rude servant. Are you planning to force me to buy or sell something?" Wei Rao almost laughed out of anger. She was trying to blackmail Brother Gu.
"I'm saying that your methods of training people are getting worse and worse. Even this kind of thing can happen. Do you really think that we can't return the goods after paying the money?"
Wei Feng also chimed in, directing his dissatisfaction at the clerks in the pawnshop. They hadn't even left the house yet, and this was happening already. They were really being taken advantage of.
The clerk panicked upon hearing this and hurriedly explained, "Gentlemen, calm down, it's not like that. This man has always been quite honest, and I didn't expect this to happen. Shut up, Master Gu is a good master. You two should behave yourself. If I send you back, you'll be in big trouble!"
As he spoke, he glared fiercely at the cook and the doorman. They flinched, but still gritted their teeth and kowtowed repeatedly, as if they had made up their minds that if Gu Yunzhou didn't agree, they would keep kowtowing.
In fact, these two people also thought that Gu Yunzhou was easy to control. Seeing that he was young and wore ordinary clothes, the cook was also quite knowledgeable and calculated that Gu Yunzhou must be an ordinary person who suddenly made a fortune.
This kind of person has little knowledge and is young, so he is most likely to be overly compassionate. So she secretly gave her husband a wink, which led to the scene just now.
The guy was extremely anxious. No one expected that when everything was going smoothly, something unexpected would happen just before leaving.
"Sir, how about letting me handle this matter?" At this time, the old lady standing behind Gu Yunzhou spoke. She first bowed to Gu Yunzhou and asked. After getting Gu Yunzhou's approval, she walked towards the two people who were still kowtowing with a serious face.
Gu Yunzhou watched the old lady walk over first and whisper something in the ears of the two men. The two men, who had been kowtowing with numb faces, stopped stiffly and looked at Gu Yunzhou with fear on their faces.
Now Gu Yunzhou became even more curious. The nanny's surname was Sun. She was said to have no children. She had a daughter when she was young, but unfortunately she died a few years after getting married. Her husband used to be in charge of the outside business for the master of the family. Later, the master was convicted, and those with serious crimes were killed, while those who were not seriously involved were exiled.
Unfortunately, her husband was the one who was deeply implicated. If he had been quick, he would have been reborn by now.
He looked at the woman anxiously, then at Gu Yunzhou and the pawnbroker, then lowered his head dejectedly, without saying a word. The only sound in the room was the woman's crying.
"I'm sorry, my temple is too small to accommodate two of your giant Buddhas. I don't want these two anymore!"
Gu Yunzhou said coldly, after all, he had lived for decades in his previous life and had suffered the beatings of society, how could he not understand the woman's plan? She was taking advantage of his young age to manipulate him, it really lived up to the saying that kind people are often bullied and kind horses are often ridden!
As the woman and the doorman were dragged away by the angry waiter, peace returned to the room.
"Yunzhou, stop struggling. I'll give you one of the cook and the doorman as a gift, just to congratulate you on your new home!"
This was the first time that Wei Yu encountered such a thing. He was speechless but also found it quite funny. These two people were really crazy and they blackmailed Gu Yunzhou, a ruthless character who single-handedly overthrew an entire family.
Gu Yunzhou's face lit up with joy, and he immediately bowed and thanked him, "Thank you, Brother Wei, for the gift. It's really timely!"
Firstly, he was indeed a little annoyed and didn't want to choose anymore. Who knew if a second cook would appear.
Secondly, based on the friendship between the two, it was just a matter between two servants, so he could just accept it. After all, he didn't worry about having too many debts. He already owed enough debts of favor to the Wei family. Gu Yunzhou was a bit like a lice now, so he didn't worry about having too many debts!
"Okay, let's go to your new house first and settle these people. I think you still need a housekeeper, or I can give you one! Oh, and we need a coachman and a servant to run errands. My aunt should also have a maid to serve her..."
Wei Yu was talking non-stop as he walked. Gu Yunzhou was listening attentively at first, but he couldn't help but interrupt Wei Yu's mumbling with a gasp.
