Chapter 42: A Master-Servant Dialogue
Qiao Lan decided to take advantage of the victory to chase after her, and killed Liang Maohua's thoughts of harming others and herself with a stick. She opened the three deed papers that Zhang Niangzi gave her just now, two deed of sale, and one book of severance, Liang Maohua was illiterate, so naturally she couldn't let her read it herself, but she also had to pretend to be illiterate, but she could "already understand" the book of severance that Chen Shenghua gave herself, so she took out her own copy of the book of severance and explained the meaning of it, and after finishing speaking, she shook Chen Yueya's copy, "This estimate is more exciting, if my mother wants to know, I can let someone read it to you." ”
Liang Maohua's face was completely bloodless, and her mouth opened and closed several times before she could speak......
Qiao Lan stretched out her hand and asked Liang Maohua to take a leave of absence, Liang Maohua didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly took it out and gave it to her. Qiao Lan didn't need to look to know that the reason why the Chen family divorced her cheap mother was "childless". Qiao Lan tore up the two deeds of sale, and put away the two letters of renunciation and one letter of resignation, "Put these three documents here with me." ”
Qiao Lan felt that the Chen family would come to the door sooner or later, this divorce book was placed in Liang Maohua's place, and it would definitely be cheated away. Qiao Lan also felt that she needed to do something, so that the Chen family would not have a chance to spit out this bitter fruit.
Qiao Lan didn't continue to fight Liang Maohua, she got up and arranged for them to clean up and freshen up.
Qiao Lan was not completely unprepared for the arrival of her mother and sister-in-law, for example, she prepared a lot of clothes and accessories for the two, which she brought with her when she bought them for herself, but in order to take care of the two of them who had just arrived and were initially in a mood to get out of trouble, she prepared extremely elegant clothes.
In order to make a show, Qiao Lan took care of Liang Maohua first, from arranging hot water to dressing up, she waited aside, watching Zhang Niangzi serve her mother. Liang Maohua twisted and pinched and pinched not used to being served, but it added trouble to Zhang Niangzi. Qiao Lan felt tired and panicked when she looked at it, and she couldn't see it before she said that she would buy a girl in the future, so that she would get used to having someone waiting for her from now on. Liang Maohua quieted down very awkwardly, her daughter was rich, and she was still thinking about her and being filial to her, she was naturally very pleased, but she had an illusion that her daughter was rich, but she was not her daughter.
The new clothes are very beautiful and comfortable, Liang Maohua feels uncomfortable all over her body, she was originally a village woman, because of years of hard work and malnutrition, she looks village and dirty, wearing this good clothes, a bit nondescript, and really has the feeling that wearing a dragon robe does not look like a prince.
"Mother, sister!" Chen Yueya floated in like a flower butterfly, "How am I?"
Chen Yueya spun around in a circle in place, and the lotus-colored skirt swung and bloomed into a flower. The jewel also trimmed her bangs, combed a hanging bun, and wore a beaded flower. New clothes, new hairstyles, and most importantly, natural and not twisted, Chen Yueya's whole person looks a lot brighter and smarter.
Liang Maohua saw the newly dressed little girl, her eyes were red, she didn't know that her girl could be so beautiful, she used to ......
In the evening, Yu Dana came back, and Qiao Lan asked him to go to the inner courtyard to meet Liang Maohua and Chen Yueya. "Manager Yu is my right-hand man, I value him very much, he doesn't have to call himself a slave, this is the privilege I give him,"
Yu Dana was mentally prepared, only to see the rules and regulations, he shouted "madam" to Liang Maohua, and called Chen Yueya "second girl".
"Ahh......h
Chen Yueya had already been in contact with Yu Dana, and at this time, she grinned, followed Qiao Lan's introduction just now, and called back, "Manager Yu!"
Qiao Lan asked Chen Yueya to accompany Liang Maohua to rest, waiting for the evening wind and dust washing banquet, she took Yu Dana to the study. Yu Dana is now actively moving closer to a qualified butler, and his every move is exemplary, however, he is too stereotyped, in short, Qiao Lan is very tired of him now. She remembered that although Yang Yingfeng was also very serious in his work, he never made people feel rigid, and he had the demeanor of everyone in his gestures, and he enjoyed watching his work......
As soon as Qiao Lan sat down, she said to herself, "Ask!" Yu Dana had a lot of things he didn't understand, but he buried them in his heart, cold, the master asked so open-mindedly, he didn't know what to do, and stood in place for a while.
"......" Qiao Lan sighed slightly, in this situation, she really couldn't count what Yu Dan had to take, so she had to save the country, "I told my mother and sister-in-law that I recognized a Qiao sex godfather." Qiao Lan retold the story she used to fool Liang Maohua and Chen Yueya, but she revealed one meaning in and out of her words, that is, it was just a story.
After listening to this, Yu Dana was silent for a long time and did not say a word, the master even told him such a thing, not absolute trust in him, what is it.
"Say, what should I do next?" Since she was open and honest, Qiao Lan naturally wanted to get some insightful and thoughtful views from Yu Dana, a serious ancient man of eight hundred years.
"Girl, now you have two paths to take. After a lot of struggles in Yu Dana's mind, he really came up with two ideas.
"Say ......" Qiao Lan thought, I really didn't see the wrong person.
"The girl will definitely come forward as a man to preside over the overall situation of the Qiao family in the future, but the identity of the girl cannot be lost, now that the lady and the second girl are here, you might as well unanimously call the girl the godsister of the young master of the Qiao family, as for the rest...... First, let the lady and the second girl continue to live in Guangfu Hutong, and the girl only needs to occasionally restore her red makeup and come back to visit, so it is also for their sake, the peace of the Qiao family will not last long, but I am afraid that even you and I can't imagine the waves. Arrange them separately, and when the overall situation of the Qiao family has been decided, it is not too late to make plans; second, let them go to the new house together, and they will be both prosperous and lossy. The girl's disguise as a man must be made clear to them, and they can also help to cover up. ”
Yu Dana's expression was too solemn, which made Qiao Lan feel a little frightened for no reason, she was so excited that she almost couldn't help but throw the things in her hand on Yu Dana's underwhelming face: Ya, I said that I seem to be going to take the Qiao family to do something earth-shattering, and "the peace will not last long", and "I'm afraid that even you and I can't imagine the waves", I was shocked when I heard it...... Didn't I just buy a good piece of land, didn't I just grow sweet potatoes......
Qiao Lan didn't know that she was thinking about things too simply, it was not an ordinary crop, but in an era when the yield per mu of crops was generally only about 300 kilograms, and the yield per mu reached 2,000 kilograms...... And it can be steamed, boiled or baked, can be used as a staple food and can be cooked, suitable for all ages, livestock is not counted......
When Yu Dana said that the little sweet potato was raised to the height of the national economy and people's livelihood, and all kinds of troubles came one after another, Qiao Lan really wished that time could go back and let her gnaw the two sweet potatoes that she had been spoiled and loved in every way......
The next arrangement, Qiao Lan still needs to consider, she originally wanted to bring Ye Feitian to discuss the matter of the new house together, but it was not too early, so she waved her hand and asked Yu Dana to arrange the banquet for the evening, Yu Dana did not leave immediately, he could see that the master wanted him to have something to say, don't hide it, so he didn't hesitate this time.
"Girl, do you not restrict anyone in digging trenches, as long as you are willing to do it?"
"Oh~ how do you say that?"
"It's Xiao Yong, when he was a beggar in the past, he was taken care of, and now he has gone to his master and lived a stable life, although he didn't say it, but I can see that he remembers those difficult brothers in his heart. So, can I hire those people to dig ditches for a few days. First, it can help them, second, it can help the girl accumulate blessings, and third, it can speed up the excavation and complete it one day earlier. ”
"You can just watch and do it. You're the chief manager, so you don't have to ask me about everything. Of course, Qiao Lan would not dismiss him for such a trivial matter, not to mention that it was a good thing to kill three birds with one stone.
Yu Da took out the door, found Fang Xiaoyong, and said this, Fang Xiaoyong's tears flowed down, and he said thank you vigorously, and I don't know if it was Xie Yu Dana or Qiao Lan, who was not present.
"Alright, don't thank you. You go and tell them, Ming'er and I don't go to the West Bank if I have something to do, you take them to find Feng Dalang and let him arrange it. There is still half an hour to eat, so go and come back quickly. ”
Fang Xiaoyong immediately ran out, bringing a gust of wind.
In the end, the banquet at night was used for the serious master to catch the wind and wash the dust, and Zhang Niangzi was busy with the three girls and made a very rich meal. Baozhu was just drooling over the table of food, and Zhang Niangzi asked her to carry the table, and only called her back when it was time to serve the food.
On this night, there were still three tables, one table for the master, placed in the hall, and two tables for the next person, placed in the courtyard of the inner courtyard. Qiao Lan finally didn't have to sit at a table alone, and she was not dissatisfied with this arrangement.
Qiao Lan and Chen Yueya led Liang Maohua to the hall, and when she saw the chickens, ducks, and fish on the table, she couldn't help but feel the urge to hold her forehead. Seeing so many delicacies, Chen Yueya sat down happily and waited for the start. Liang Maohua complained about burying the money and sat down. Who knew that Qiao Lan summoned the jewel and ordered her to remove a few meat dishes from the table.
"Sister, what are you doing, don't give us food? My mother hasn't eaten meat for many years, why are you still stingy. Chen Yueya pouted dissatisfied, in fact, she also knew that Qiao Lan was not stingy, but she just didn't understand.
"Hun said!" Qiao Lan patted her lightly, and then faced Liang Maohua, who looked panicked, "Mother, it's not that He'er won't give you meat, it's just that you have eaten so little over the years, if you eat this greasy meat dish into your stomach at this time, it is estimated that it will be extremely uncomfortable, so it is better to delay it for a few days, and when you and your teeth are well conditioned and you get used to it, you are just big fish and meat every day, and I don't blink an eye." ”
"Ah~ah~good~~" Liang Maohua looked apologetic, she really thought that the eldest girl had meat and didn't give it to herself.
"Sister, this is what you said, in the future, I will gnaw chicken legs every day!"
"Look at you!" Qiao Lan poked Chen Yue's forehead.
Zhang Niangzi saw Baozhu coming out with a tray and a few bowls of meat and vegetables on it, she thought that the dishes she made were not suitable for the new master's appetite, and she was relieved after listening to Baozhu's retelling, and at the same time she was annoyed that she had not thought it through. She asked Baozhu to bring the talent to Yu Dana, asked him to divide the dishes, and went into the kitchen again, and quickly made two delicious vegetarian dishes and sent them to the hall.
