Chapter 30
Just after dawn, Xiao Muling ran to Princess Linghua's dormitory, looked at Princess Linghua who was sitting in front of the mirror dressing up, and asked, "Godmother, godmother, where is Aunt Jingyuan? Linger didn't see Jingyuan this morning. Where's aunt?"

Princess Ling Hua looked at Nanny Gao beside her, intending to ask.

Nanny Gao lowered her head and narrowed her eyes, and replied: "Princess, Jingyuan left the palace early in the morning, and said she was going back to get the clothes that the little princess wore when she was a child."

The corners of Princess Linghua's mouth slightly raised, revealing an indescribable smile, coaxing Xiao Muling softly: "Aunt Jingyuan is going to pick up the clothes that Ling'er's mother made for Ling'er, it must be very pretty."

"Good! Good!" Xiao Muling clapped his hands, and the cheerful voice resounded throughout the palace.

The Xiao family's mansion is located at the end of Xingqing Street in the capital city. Except for the Xiao family, the half street in front of this street is rarely visited by people, and most of the officials' homes are located here.

A large area behind the Xiao family's mansion is a main warehouse of the Xiao family. The distance between the warehouse and the house is only a few steps away, and it occupies most of the street.

The Xiao family has a big business and is very rich.The Xiao family itself runs a rice grain business, so it took only two days to collect the 10 shi of grain, which did not affect the normal business.The royal family allocated another 20 taels to purchase grain. The current grain price is one tael of silver and two shimi. This requires the purchase of [-] shimi, which is a huge amount. It is impossible to purchase such a large amount of rice grain from the Liuli Kingdom.

Fortunately, the Xiao family has a wide network and has business contacts with neighboring countries. It is not difficult to collect grain from the leading country's trading houses. With a good cooperative relationship, the Xiao family can make a small profit from a small discount. Of course, this is not the main thing. , Completing the task is the most important thing.

There are people coming and going in the warehouse of the Xiao family, and they are constantly moving food in. The same food can be placed on two sides. One side is self-raised, marked with private food, and the other side is raised for the government, so it is marked with official food. typeface.

The housekeeper, Wang Hu, supervised and yelled, "Hurry up! Hurry up! Don't slow down!"

The housekeeper, Wang Hu, has a full beard, a dark red complexion, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks a bit alien, but he is extremely affectionate.It's only been a few years since I came to Xiao's mansion, I didn't expect to have to reuse it all at once, and take care of the granary.

A few years ago, Wang Hu was just a beggar on the street, begging along the street with a little beggar all day long.Unexpectedly, one day, the little beggar who had been begging with him was really hungry, so he took courage, thinking that he hadn't been caught stealing someone's purse, and secretly rejoiced.

The person who didn't want to be stolen by him was a local ruffian, and his reaction was very quick. He grabbed the hand extended by the little beggar, spit on the ground and shouted: "How dare you extend the thief's hand to me, begging for a beating! "While talking and beating, the accomplices around the ruffian saw that there was a fight, and immediately started to itch their hands, and they gathered around, punching and kicking the little beggar, completely ignoring that he was just a child.

As soon as Wang Hu saw this, he rushed in regardless of his strength. After all, there were so many opponents, Wang Hu couldn't beat him, so he protected the little beggar under his body, and soon Wang Hu was also beaten to the ground.

It happened that Lin Fei was passing by here on his way back to his natal family's sedan chair, and when he saw the sedan chair stalled, he asked someone to ask him.The servant girl told Lin Fei the whole story from the vendors around her. Lin Fei couldn't bear it, so she came forward and said some words of intercession for them.

Seeing that the head's mother of Xiao's mansion intervened in this matter to intercede for the two of them, the local ruffian also sold his face, and even tried to flatter him.Lin Fei thanked the stolen man with a smile, and even gave the two men who were begging a sum of money to start a small business to support themselves.

However, Wang Hu refused to take the money no matter what, and only asked Lin Fei to take it in, promising to work hard.

Seeing that the two were really pitiful, Lin Fei took them into the mansion. From then on, Wang Hu followed Lin Fei to work for Xiao's mansion.Because of Wang Hu's dedication to his duties, loyalty and righteousness, he was promoted from a small servant to the manager of the Xiao family warehouse within two years.During the years he has been in office, the warehouse has never had any mistakes.

Lin Fei did it at will, but Wang Hu is grateful to her and regards her as his reborn parents.Wang Hu felt that without Lin Fei's kind deeds, he would never have the good life he is now, let alone assigning others to be respected stewards.

Jing Yuan walked through the backyard and saw that the people in the warehouse were busy, but the warehouse did not look chaotic at all. She felt a little admiration for Wang Hu in her heart, thinking that Brother Wang Hu was so capable.

"Brother Wang Hu!" Jing Yuan called his name from afar.

At this time, Wang Hu was standing on the side directing and yelling, and when he heard Jing Yuan's voice, he replied: "Sister Jing Yuan, why are you here? It's very dirty and messy here, be careful not to touch anything, or you will be dropped It hurts to hit something.”

Wang Hu took a few steps to meet him, but he didn't dare to go too far away from the warehouse, taking care of both sides.Not seen for many days, Jing Yuan is still so beautiful, and he misses Jing Yuan quite a lot.

A few days ago, Wang Hu heard that Jing Yuan was announced to the palace, and he was worried about Jing Yuan's situation. The palace is a place where people eat people. He had heard too many rumors in the palace, so he was not in a good mood.Lin Yuehong even found him and asked him to help inquire about the news in the palace. This is not a place that Wang Hu can reach out, which made Lin Yuehong cry a lot. Lin Yuehong was very worried about Jingyuan and Miss Linger, and then After getting no news, he was thinking wildly by himself, and the more he thought about it, the more he could shoot it. After being persuaded by Wang Hu for a while, he stopped crying and felt a little relieved.

Jing Yuan and Lin Yuehong are the first-class maidservants beside Lin Fei. Wang Hu is grateful to Lin Fei and takes care of Jing Yuan and Lin Yuehong. This may be the so-called Aiwujiwu.

Jing Yuan looked at the people around her who were repeatedly carrying rice grains. They carried the rice grains with vigorous steps, and they all had strong or strong bodies. Most of them were trained in the dried fruit industry. Return the sign and throw it to the bookkeeper for registration, who added the number of anti-grain bags under the pen of the bookkeeper, and everything went on in an orderly manner.

Jing Yuan approached Wang Hu, and her clear and pleasant voice sounded, she asked with concern: "I heard that the Lord is collecting food for the royal family recently, is it almost enough?"

"Our master's ability is high! No, it's only been prepared in two days, and it doesn't affect our business. Recently, the price of grain has risen slightly. Well, the price of our grain is lower than the current grain price, and the business is still growing. The better it is!" Wang Hu chuckled, as if seeing his business getting better and better, his face was full of pride.

"Sister Jingyuan, you were announced by the princess to take care of Miss Ling'er, why are you back today?" Wang Hu asked curiously.

"Ling'er misses her mother, and insists on the clothes that Madam made for her back then. No, I'll come back and get them." Jing Yuan's tone froze slightly when talking about Lin Fei.

When Jing Yuan mentioned Lin Fei Wang Hu, her expression became slightly gloomy: "It's a pity that such a good person, God really has no eyes!"

Jingyuan sighed in private countless times: "Fortunately, Linger is still here, no matter what, I have to take good care of Miss Linger!" This seems to have become an important goal for the rest of her life.

Wang Hu couldn't repay Lin Fei now, so he, like Jing Yuan, put most of his thoughts of repaying favors on Xiao Muling. Wang Hu seemed to suddenly think of something, with excitement in his eyes: "Miss Ling'er is now sealed. It's really a pleasure to meet the princess, Madam has a spirit in the sky, no one in the mansion would dare to ignore Miss Linger now!"

Wang Hu knew a little about Xiao Muling's situation, and sometimes secretly helped Jing Yuan and Lin Yuehong, so Xiao Muling was canonized as a noble princess. With this noble status, who in the Xiao residence would dare to be rude to his Miss Ling'er?
"Yes, now Miss Ling'er has someone to rely on, Princess Ling Hua loves Miss Ling'er very much." Jing Yuan said happily to Wang Hu, feeling very relieved in her heart.

"That's good, that's good, the descendants of good people should enjoy blessings." Wang Hu said with a smile.

Jing Yuan stared at Wang Hu with a serious expression, she asked softly: "Brother Wang Hu, can you do me a favor?"
