Shen Zhongjin smiled noncommittally. Although ten thousand taels was a lot, it was nothing compared to the position of the princess. As for letting Huang Lizhao be the adopted son!
He didn't have the energy to take concubines before, but his status has changed since then. I heard that Boda's Paradise Pills are very effective... Well, there will naturally be no shortage of beauties in the future. He is only forty years old, and he is still afraid that he will have no heirs to support him until his death?
When Huang Zhiyi saw that Shen Zhongjin was still holding it, he cursed in his heart, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and said: "As long as my uncle agrees to help, when the matter is completed, 20% of the profits of the Huang family will belong to you!"
Shen Zhongjin's eyes lit up, but his face remained calm as he slowly stretched out four fingers.
Huang Zhiyi's face froze, this guy has such a big appetite, he actually wants 40%.
"This is too much! That's all. How about giving two thousand acres of farmland from my clan to my uncle?"
Shen Zhongjin smiled: "Well, it's better not to give up this fertile land. Boda is now presiding over the new policy. As his elders, we naturally have to set an example. I think it would be best if we meet Boda soon. It would be best if all the acres of our family's land are taken away." Take it out, so that Boda will accept our kindness. Mr. Huang is talking about the fertile land that is about to disappear. This is not sincere!"
Huang Zhiyi smiled awkwardly. How could he not have any calculations about this plan? It was just that Shen Zhongjin's open mouth made him anxious, and he subconsciously wanted to trick him.
After being pointed out by Shen Zhongjin, he was shocked to realize that he had made a mistake. It would not be good if he angered Shen Zhongjin.
Shen Zhongjin said calmly: "Forget it, you and I share weal and woe, so I will take a step back and the profit will be counted as 20%. However, Mr. Huang must fully support my wife in taking charge of Dahuang Manor, how about that?"
Huang Zhiyi sneered in his heart, what is Dahuang Village? That was a money-spinner. If Shen Zhongjin wanted to be able to live alone, it wouldn't be that easy!
"Okay! My sister-in-law is Boda's aunt and a close relative. If she is in charge, she will be a hundred times better than the slave Liu Lin! However, I also have a suggestion, which is to let Boda's aunt also help take care of her. Two, of course, the younger siblings are the main ones and she is the supplementary one."
Shen Zhongjin pondered for a moment, nodded in agreement, and smiled proudly.
He had suffered a lot when disposing of the Huang family's property before, and now he finally got out of his bad mood.
"Man'er is a first-class good woman with good looks and intelligence. I have always felt that it would be better if Rong'er had a sister like Man'er. Zhao'er will be named a marquis and prime minister in the future. It would be detrimental to him to be his adoptive father. His future is not good, but as for Man'er, I am willing to adopt him as my adopted daughter, what do you think, Mr. Huang?"
Huang Zhiyi smiled reluctantly.
Isn't it just for these words that he paid so much? Only by adopting her daughter to Shen Zhongjin can we stop some gossip.
"It's still not safe to accept her as an adopted daughter. I'll simply adopt her to my uncle and take my uncle's surname. When the time comes, my uncle will marry two daughters from the same family. That will be called unlimited glory!"
Shen Zhongjin smiled and nodded.
…
No matter how long the road is, no matter how slow the speed, you will eventually reach the end.
The group finally arrived at Huangxiao Villa.
When Huang Xiao came out of Zhang's Mansion, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, but Zhang Lizhen finally got some time alone with Huang Xiao. She was not willing to just go back to Dahuang Village, so Zhang Lizhen begged, saying that she wanted to go to the fairy world. Have some fun.
Huang Xiao also felt that he owed Zhang Lizhen a little, so he agreed. Therefore, not long after they left Zhang's mansion, they went alone. Liu Lin and the other maids had already returned to Dahuang Village after lunch. It is convenient for two people to play one-sided.
As soon as Liu Lin returned home, he was captured by Huang Zhiyi.
In Huang Xiao's villa, Yueniang is naturally in charge at the moment.
The behavior of Huang Zhiyi and others had been reported to Yueniang a long time ago.
Yueniang is quite angry about this. You know, strictly speaking, she has the same identity as Liu Cheng and his wife!
If they humiliated Liu Cheng and his wife in this way, wouldn't that mean they didn't take her as the princess seriously?
Moreover, although they are slaves, Huang Xiao has never treated them as slaves, let alone treated them with arrogance. Therefore, although they are slaves in name, they are no different from relatives!
What's more, Yueniang knew very well how good these relatives were. After being notified that these clan relatives were coming, she would naturally not look down upon them.
Although she didn't turn him away, Yueniang had no reason to come forward to entertain her.
As a result, Huang Zhiyi and his gang just sat in the lobby.
Liu Lin was also called into the inner house, leaving Liu Cheng alone outside serving tea and water.
The maids followed Huang Xiao to the Zhang Mansion. After returning early, Yueniang also kept them inside the inner house. Therefore, there was no service staff in the other courtyard, and Liu Cheng had to act as a servant.
Since he was dismissed last time, Liu Cheng's character has become much calmer, and he doesn't have much resistance. No matter what, this is the young master's clan, and as long as the young master does not treat him as a human being, that is enough.
Inside the inner house.
Mrs. Liu Lin spoke to Yueniang with an angry look on her face.
Yueniang sneered: "They are daydreaming, Sister-in-law Liu, don't worry, the young master has said it himself, this is absolutely impossible. These two women want to marry the young master, don't even think about it!"
She paused and said: "However, after all, she is the elder of the young master. Forget it, Sister-in-law Liu, I still want to aggrieve you. You go out to entertain one or two, so as not to make the young master look bad. As for what they say, you just treat it as such. Just can’t hear it.”
Mrs. Liu Lin nodded: "We are originally the young master's domestic slaves, and it is nothing to suffer a little grievance. What I am angry about is those two women who are trying to seduce the princess both inside and outside their words!"
"The young master also told me that they are not relatives! But they feel so good about themselves. I really don't know what to say. If it weren't for the young master's face, I would have slapped them in the face!"
"They don't even pee and take pictures. People like them are still making waves, bah!"
After Mrs. Liu Lin finished scolding her, she felt relieved.
However, after she went out, the anger she had just calmed down suddenly surged up again.
Shen Zhongjin was only heard talking to her husband Liu Cheng.
It was said to be a question, but in fact it was like an interrogation.
But Shen Zhongjin asked: "Liu Cheng, your salary for work and food is only five taels a month?"
Liu Cheng nodded: "It's five taels. I don't have a boss now, so this is a lot."
Shen Zhongjin glanced at Mrs. Liu Lin and spoke immediately.
"Liu Lin, you're here at the right time. Liu Cheng said he only earns five taels a month. I don't quite believe it. You are an official as deputy steward, how much do you earn a month?"
Mrs. Liu Lin felt angry and said firmly: "One hundred taels."
Shen Zhongjin nodded: "Well, one hundred taels is not a lot, that's one thousand two hundred a year. You are Boda's slaves. How can a slave work for the master and still need money for work and food? Look back. This needs to be changed, Liu Lin, what do you think?"
