Shen Hao didn't expect that his second day in office would be so eventful.
First, Wu Changhe hinted that he should take sides, but he pushed back without mercy. Then one of the several general flag officers who had been ordered back by him in the morning came over and said he wanted to report.
Tell the truth? !
These two words confused Shen Hao. He thought it was some kind of major report. He quickly closed the door and prepared to listen to the follow-up. It turned out that the report this guy mentioned was just finalized, and it was aimed at his ass, which is not even hot. The official of Qianhusuo Black Flag Camp and Baihu.
"Your name is Liu Kuan, right?"
"Yes, my lord has a good memory."
Unlike most of the Xuanqing guards Shen Hao has seen, this Liu Kuan has a mighty and resolute appearance for nothing, but he is ridiculous but very wretched. He always feels that his temperament is very similar to that of a scoundrel like Feilong.
"You did a good job on this matter. Don't make any noise when you go back. Continue to keep in touch with them. If there is any progress, you can report it directly to me. However, I still want to remind you that if you did a good job this time, I will make a note of it. Yes, but you still have to do the things I assigned you. If you don't do it well, don't blame me for being unkind. Do you understand?"
"I understand that I will implement your request after I return, and I will not disappoint you!"
"I hope so. Go back."
"My subordinates resign."
As soon as Liu Kuan left, a fat man emerged from the cubicle of Shen Haogong's apartment. It was Chen Tianwen who had been here for a long time. The two were originally discussing how to popularize some of the experiences of Licheng Black Flag Camp in writing, but Liu Kuan came to the door. Shen Hao asked Chen Tianwen to avoid him for a moment, wanting to hear why one of the "three idiots" in Chen Tianwen's words came to him.
"How? Do you still think others are stupid?"
"Tsk, this Liu Kuan is indeed a subordinate who made a mistake. I didn't expect this guy to be so thoughtful. He first played tricks on me, and then sold the remaining two backhand. His temper is a bit vicious!"
Shen Hao smiled and was noncommittal. Liu Kuan was indeed a bit sinister, but he could still use it as long as he was careful. To put it bluntly, this is a real villain. You can't expect him to be loyal or willing to do anything, but as long as you are still in a strong position, this kind of person will not and will not dare to violate you easily.
Of course, these ideas are not suitable to discuss with Chen Tianwen.
"Don't worry about the other three people. Since their butts are dirty, put a rope on them, scare them, and see what tricks they get. Do you really think I am Chen Yiyun? Hiding behind the hundred households in the guardhouse Do you think there’s nothing I can do against them?”
Chen Tianwen stood by the side politely and did not dare to speak again after answering. After that, Shen Hao explained a few more words before leaving. I knew in my heart that it wouldn't be long before I would see those two idiots who had been sold off again.
...
After a business trip, I returned to my new residence and found it completely new.
"Master! You're back!" Xia Nu danced the most happily. She had basically forgotten all the rules she learned in the tooth shop, and she found that the master didn't dislike her doing this.
Following Xia Nu out to greet him was Hu Tian, who was wearing a cane but was already much more agile. As for Xiao Ma, he sent him back to work as a clerk again. The old man has to do the housekeeping himself.
"Master Shen, this is the new cook, Li Erfu. He used to be a chef in a restaurant, but he came to our house because he had a waist problem and couldn't stand for a long time and couldn't do the restaurant work. I have tried his skills before. Very good, do you want to try it today?"
"Okay. Let's pick what you're good at and do it first today."
"Okay, Mr. Shen, please wait a moment. You'll be fine soon!"
Hu Tian led Li Erfu to the kitchen. Lady Xia brought hot water for Shen Hao to wash up. He took off the Yanji knife and waist tag from his waist, and put on a pair of soft-soled cotton shoes. He immediately felt much more relaxed.
"Master, today many people came to deliver greeting cards, and there were also people bringing things, carts and carts of things. I saw that the silk on the cart was very beautiful, but Butler Hu was not allowed to accept it, and he didn't let them do anything. Bring her in." Xia Nu, while serving Shen Hao, chirped to Shen Hao about the bustling scene at home these past two days.
"Did anyone give you anything?"
"Ah? Yes, there was a woman who insisted on giving me a big gold bracelet. I was so scared that I ran back without asking for it. As a result, I didn't even buy enough bedding that I wanted to buy before."
"If you haven't bought enough, just go buy it again tomorrow. By the way, do you like gold bracelets?"
"Huh? I don't like it. It's heavy on my hands and inconvenient. I like beautiful dresses!" Xia Nu has never been interested in jewelry, but she has a soft spot for clothes. Of course, Shen Hao didn't know this.
"I remember you had the most salutes when we moved, right? There are three big boxes of clothes alone, and you still lack skirts?"
"There's no shortage, but I still like it. By the way, Master, before coming here, Sister Xiner asked me to help her see if there are any suitable shops in Fengli City. I went shopping today and I don't understand. Do you know which one? Is the location good?”
Shen Hao turned his head. This stupid slave really had a lot to do. He got impatient. He grabbed his pointed ears and twisted them around: "Why do you talk so much! Why do you ask Butler Hu these things? Why do you ask me?"
"It hurts, it hurts! Master, can't I stop asking?"
It must have been a lot of force, the little fox girl's pretty face was flushed, and her eyes were swollen. Seeing this, Shen Hao laughed, released his ear and pinched her face again.
Very slippery.
Not long after, Li Erfu's cooking was served, three meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, one soup, and a large bowl of rice.
"Hmm... not bad. Just stay."
"Thank you, Mr. Shen, and thank you, Butler Hu."
Li Erfu's cooking is really good, better than Aunt Zhang's, but he just came here and doesn't know Shen Hao's appetite, and he doesn't know how to cook some of the dishes Shen Hao is used to eating. But it doesn't matter, Hu Tian has the recipe that Aunt Zhang has figured out, and Li Erfu will learn it quickly with his skills.
While eating, he talked to Xia Nu who was waiting beside him. This was a natural way for Shen Hao to relax at home. He should empty his mind.
"I didn't go out yesterday. I was cleaning the house all day. There were rats in the house here. I found three of them and killed them! Later, Butler Hu spread rat poison. I guess I can get rid of them as long as I spray the medicine regularly in the future."
"Fengri City is so big! I went out to buy things today and walked for a long time before visiting three streets. It is said that there are still a few streets full of shops that I haven't visited yet."
"There are just too many people, and I almost got lost. By the way, I found that there are a lot of rich people here, much more than in Licheng. But there are also many more beggars and homeless people on the streets than in Licheng."
"When I came back at noon, I saw a porridge shop in the west. It looked like the Yamen was putting out porridge. Many people came to get it, at least hundreds of people. Are they all beggars?"
