Chapter 213 Thank you for the name
Xiaoying ignored everyone else and took advantage of the break to take the silver he had embezzled and return to Ying's house.
But the master was not there. The old housekeeper told him that the master had gone out with some relatives after breakfast.
Went out with relatives!!
Xiao Ding guessed correctly, the young master was the master in disguise!
He didn't bother to guess how the master managed to disguise himself from forty to twenty, nor did he bother to guess why the young master disguised by the master looked 70% similar to Master Yue.
He hurriedly asked the old housekeeper whether the master had said where he was going and when he would be back.
"Are you in trouble?"
The old butler looked at the flustered Xiaoying and said, "You two have just been doing work for the master for a few months, and you've already gotten into trouble?
Did the master support you two in vain? Are you even worse than a few old maids?
"A few old maids earn dozens of taels of silver for the master every day, and what about you two? You are just calling out to the guests, and you are not even assigned to wash the dishes. What else do you want to do?"
"How many taels of silver?"
Xiaoying exclaimed, "How did the old lady and the others know?"
"Keep the accounts! The master asked Gardenia and Jasmine to take turns watching the stall to prevent anyone from bullying the old lady."
It's over, completely over.
Xiaobai and Suanpan not only embezzled money from purchasing goods, but also embezzled money from breakfast.
In order to drag everyone down with him, and also because of greed, he increased the price from a few taels a day to more than ten, twenty, and thirty taels...
"What on earth have you done to cause trouble? Tell the master as soon as possible. The master is tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and he will give you a chance."
The old housekeeper's words gave Xiao Ying a glimmer of hope, "Can Tan Mo be given a chance?"
"Tainmo?"
The old butler stood up and said, "Xu Zhi! Xu Zhi!"
Xu Zhi ran over quickly, "Here!"
"Call Zhizi and Ziran, call the coachman and the doorman, and bring Xiaobai back to me."
"Don't go."
Xiao Ying smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Manager Liu said that the master asked us to close the restaurant for three days for rectification, and all those who lived in the backyard of the restaurant were tied to the same boat by Suan Pan and Xiao Bai.
After dinner, we will all come back.”
"Confused! Confused!"
The old butler stamped his feet and said, "Have you forgotten the days when you were waiting for the buyer at the broker's hands?
After a few days of good life, have you forgotten that you are slaves? Does the master need you to eat or drink? Do you still put your hands into the master's pocket?
I make new clothes for you all year round, but where is your conscience? Has it been eaten by a dog?"
"Old butler! Old butler!"
Xu Zhi hurriedly supported the trembling old housekeeper, "Don't get excited, don't get excited, the master will make the final decision on this matter."
"Correct!"
"Master Chen" walked in from outside the courtyard and said, "I will handle this matter, old housekeeper, the family doesn't want to hold a funeral recently, so please don't fall down.
Otherwise, the straw mat will be rolled up and thrown out to feed the stray dogs.
Xu Zhi, you take full charge of the affairs of the mansion. Arrange for the old housekeeper to take care of the flowers and sweep the yard every day, so that he can live out his retirement days."
"Yes!"
Xu Zhi bowed and did not dare to look at the old housekeeper's expression.
"Thank you, sir."
The old butler was relieved. It was enough that the master didn't drive him out of the house. He couldn't control anything else.
"Xu Zhi."
"exist!"
"Go buy someone, young and clever but with a conscience, to be a waiter only."
"Yes!"
"By the way, call Gardenia and Jasmine to me."
"Yes!"
"Go down!"
Xu Zhi helped the old housekeeper out, and Xiao Ying knelt down in front of the master, "Xiao Ying was confused for a moment, please give Xiao Ying another chance."
Mr. Chen said nothing.
The yard fell silent. After Gardenia and Jasmine arrived, they stood aside with their heads down, waiting cautiously.
The depressing silence was not broken until a burst of laughter accompanied by footsteps and voices came in.
"Sister... uh, brother, we are back."
Is that the little boy?
Xiaoying, who had been keeping his head down and not daring to breathe, recognized the sound.
He is actually the master’s younger brother?
Is he the old master's son? Shouldn't he be spoiled? Why does he look like he is not on the same level as the master? Is he a bastard?
"Xiao Jin, don't delay your brother's work." This voice should be from the old man, right? The old man who has always been with the "young master".
That’s not right either!
The young boy seemed to be calling another person "Dad".
Is the master of Ying Mansion the old master or the young master? How old is the old master?
"Small win."
"exist!"
"You want a chance?"
"Yes."
"Has anyone given your former master, Young Master Song, a chance? After being followed by the two of you and becoming a gambler, he lost all his family fortune and became a well-known prodigal son in the state capital."
Small win "..."
The reason why the former master became famous is because you called the restaurant the Prodigal Son, otherwise, the former master would have been forgotten long ago.
“Master, Xiaoying has tried hard, but Master Song won’t change.”
"I mean, how did he become a gambler? What was the first gambling device he encountered?"
"dice."
"Whose dice? Who taught me?"
"I was playing dice with Xiaobai, and he saw it."
"Haha, in the end, whose fault is it?"
Xiaoying remained silent.
After a long silence, Mr. Chen said, "Since you are the first one to come back and surrender, I will give you a chance."
"Thank you, sir!"
Xiaoying kowtowed to express his gratitude.
"Don't worry."
"Master Chen" said, "Your only chance is to wash dishes in the kitchen for the rest of your life."
Xiaoying paused for a moment, then kowtowed and thanked him, "Xiaoying is willing."
"Starting tomorrow, you will repent."
"Thank you for the name, sir."
Xiaoying was delighted because the master's renaming him was a real chance for him.
"Go back! Don't tell anyone, otherwise..."
"Xiaoying understands!"
After Xiaoying left, 'Mr. Chen' asked Zhizi if she was willing to be the doorman Xiaobai?
"Gardenia is willing!"
Gardenia quickly knelt down to thank him. Although he and Jasmine had only been with the master for a short time, he knew that the second generation Xiaoying and Xiaobai were the 'face' of the restaurant that the master really expected.
The master gave the original team of the Song Mansion an opportunity. Can they seize it? It depends on their own choice.
They were bought by the master to fill the vacancies.
"From tomorrow on, you will be a minor loser. Get down!"
"Yes!"
After Gardenia left, 'Master Chen' reached out to Jasmine.
Jasmine handed the record book to the master and said, "The maids are very hardworking, getting up at 3 pm every day to go to the restaurant to work.
The amount of breakfast food he ate was increasing day by day, and the amount of silver he handed in on the abacus was decreasing day by day. Jasmine wrote down the exact amount in her notebook.
"You go down first! Let's put aside the surveillance for now. You don't have a companion, and it's not safe for a woman to go out in the early morning."
"Yes!"
After Jasmine left, Jiang Jin rushed to 'Master Chen' and said, "Brother, you are so awesome. Xiao Jin also wants to be someone like you."
"No!"
'Master Chen' shook his head and chuckled, "Xiao Jin must be a more powerful person than brother."
"Xiao, Yu, is, awesome!"
Jiang Nian walked over, "Bidu knows how to pinch people's hearts."
"Mr. Chen" "..."
Dad, are you saying that she is better at controlling people’s hearts than the head of the Du family?
"Dad, are you praising me?"
