Xiao Ma's real name is Ma Jiufu, and he is a relative and descendant of the old housekeeper Hu Tian. He followed Hu Tian into the Shen Mansion. He is smart, hard-working and knows how to get things done. He is likely to take over Hu Tian's position as housekeeper after he retires.
Ma Jiufu is also a father now. He married a decent woman in his hometown and gave birth to a daughter last year. The family expenses are basically supported by the monthly money Ma Jiufu gets from the Shen family. In addition, the people in Shen's mansion have always been kind to their servants and treated them generously. Ma Jiufu is prepared to work hard here for the rest of his life.
Is there any future for Tangtang to work in the house of a fourth-grade powerful man? There must be! Haven't you seen that Hu Tian was treated politely by officials from all walks of life as a butler? Isn’t it just for Master Shen’s sake?
But two years ago, Master Shen had an accident, and his life or death was uncertain. The atmosphere in Shen's mansion was once at its lowest point, and has gradually stabilized in the past six months, but neither the first lady nor the second lady has a smile on their face. The three fox girls who used to be carefree often shed tears and hid in the corner and cried softly.
Ma Jiufu also cried several times, but he cried hiding in bed. She is worried that the good days of Shen's family will be ruined and her good days are gone forever, and she is also worried that Mr. Shen, who looks evil but is actually a good person, will never come back. Anyway, my mood is very complicated.
Many times Ma Jiufu imagined the scene where Master Shen would knock on the door one day. By then, the haze over Shen's house would definitely be gone.
But after waiting for more than two years, just when Ma Jiufu had lost hope in his heart, Master Shen appeared outside the door with a smile and his hands behind his back.
It's still that half-smiling look, it's still the same eyes that make people feel as sharp as a blade, it's still the same chilling aura that makes your whole body feel cold when you get close.
"Master Shen! You, are you back!?" Ma Jiufu subconsciously knelt down as his legs softened, and then hugged Master Shen's legs, tears flowing down like a floodgate.
People often say that they cry with joy, and Ma Jiufu finally experienced it this time. He had never been so excited when his wife gave birth to his baby.
"Get up, if you wipe your nose on my pants, your monthly payment will be reduced by at least half this month." Shen Hao patted the horse on the head and asked him to get up as a joke. They were all old men in the family. Seeing him express such excitement when he came back, to be honest, Shen Hao felt very emotional.
"Master Shen, as long as you come back, I don't need any monthly payment for this year!" Even though he said this, Xiao Ma easily let go of Shen Hao's legs and stood up with a smile on his face. It was so bright that I could hardly see my eyes.
Then Shen Hao didn't wait to speak. Xiao Ma slapped his thigh and shouted, "I'll tell the eldest lady and the others!" Then he turned around and ran away like crazy. As he ran, he could be heard yelling at the top of his lungs.
"Master Shen is back!"
"Master Shen is back!"
...
Shen Hao smiled, cursed the pony, and walked into the house with his legs raised. The next moment, six well-dressed monks jumped out from the corner and knelt on one knee on either side.
"I'm here to see you, sir, and congratulate you on your safe return and your great progress in cultivation!"
The six of them are now familiar with each other. To be honest, they believed that Shen Hao could come back from the beginning, but later felt that there was little hope. Now they are overjoyed to see Shen Hao return safely, but they are much more stable than Ma Jiufu, but they shout louder.
On the other hand, while the six people were delighted, they were also shocked in their hearts. What state is Mr. Shen in now? So much so that they couldn't even see the slightest bit of Master Shen's cultivation. Is this the beginning of the Yuan Dan realm? Or maybe a more...higher realm? !
The three special agents were already numb. They had gone from "surprise" to "horror" to "sure enough" and now "oh".
However, the three secret guards are still in the second stage, and it will take some time to understand the speed of Shen Hao's practice.
"Get up. Are there any guests at home?" Shen Hao originally wanted to ask Xiao Ma, but that guy ran to report the news, so he asked the people who just jumped out. When he came in, he saw two people stopped at the door of the house. A luxuriously decorated carriage, although it did not stop to block the door, it was still very close. Parking the carriage like this was not very polite, at least it did not show much respect to the entire Shen family.
The smiles on the faces of the six people faltered, and then the trio of special agents took on a more ruthless tone. One of them raised his hand and replied: "My lord, I am the manager of two royal merchants. I came to ask my family to buy wine at the Zhangjia Liquor Shop and Gel." It’s from the US air conditioner side.”
"Oh? Those elements are still at home?" Shen Hao was a little surprised when he heard this. He originally thought that these two hot potatoes should have been thrown out after he disappeared. Chu Linxiang at home should understand this truth, and someone must have reminded them.
"Sir, I heard that most of these people sold out the second lady last year, and some more at the beginning of this year. The remaining ones were forced to stay by the two ladies, saying that they could not lose all the property you purchased. In fact, they have already There are very few, less than 20% of the original price. But there are still people coveting it, and this is the sixth time they have come to the door. And the sense of coercion is becoming more and more obvious."
Three special guards are now responsible for following and protecting Chu Linxiang and Yu Qiao. The two women also trust them and do not shy away from it. So although they don't know how to comment on many things, they listen and see them very clearly.
Shen Hao didn't let this incident affect his good mood going home. Financial matters will no longer be a problem after he comes back. If you take things from your own home, you should take the initiative to return them. If he doesn't return it, Shen Hao will just take it by himself slowly.
Royal merchant? What about the imperial merchants? Do you really think that the imperial merchants can take advantage of it and let everyone take care of it?
In just a few words, the entire Shen Mansion was boiling with Ma Jiufu's shouts.
What is the backbone? That is, when he is around, everyone in the family feels at ease. They can walk with their heads held high without caring about other people's words or looks, and they are not even afraid of wind and rain. And once he is gone, it will be like walking on thin ice, and even sleeping will not be safe.
Now the backbone is back. Whether it is the servants who are still staying in Shen's mansion or the women at home, all worries can be put aside at this time, because these troubles are no longer worthy of being called troubles from the moment the mastermind returns.
Noises and shouts of surprise filled the Shen mansion.
Soon Shen Hao heard footsteps and sensed several very familiar auras rushing towards him quickly. After a while, the first thing he saw was Chu Linxiang running like a butterfly in a red dress, followed by Yu Qiao and three fox girls.
"Husband!"
"Husband!"
"Owner!"
The voice of Yingying Yanyan is mixed with the cries of joy, and it is full of warmth, and it feels like the whole world is filled with fragrance. A feeling of peace of mind and joy filled Shen Hao's heart.
