Chapter 39: Not even an assistant
The regular meeting came as scheduled. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Early in the morning, Zhong Liyue followed behind Chun Qiao and the others.
After everything was ready, Chun Qiao looked at the sky, determined the time, and then said, "The eldest young master should almost finish practicing, you all go and prepare!" Liyue, you come with me. ”
Zhong Liyue, who was confused, picked up a piece of dry soft cloth under the command of Chun Qiao and came to the small garden next to the eldest young master's bedroom
Walking through the luxuriant trees, Zhong Liyue saw a black and a white fist fighting in the center of the garden, and when she looked closely, it turned out to be the eldest young master and Ye Chuan.
"Every month for the next few days of the regular meeting, the eldest young master will stay in the mansion, and in the morning he will practice here, and after we are busy with the affairs of the front hall, we will come over to serve the eldest young master." Chun Qiao whispered to Zhong Liyue.
The thin white clothes Shen Zhaoyan was wearing had been soaked with sweat, and the muscles on his body were faintly visible. Zhong Liyue suddenly understood, Ruodong and the others must have gone to boil the hot water that the eldest young master would use for bathing later.
She stood there respectfully with a soft cloth, but her eyes were staring at the two of them dishonestly.
Judging from the speed alone, Shen Zhaoyan's fist and foot kung fu is very ordinary, and Ye Chuan seems to be sparring, with an indifferent face, without the tension when facing an opponent.
Despite this, with the eldest young master's current hand, it is estimated that it will be no problem to deal with a few ordinary little Luo.
Zhong Liyue glanced at Chun Qiao beside her, and said in a low voice: "The eldest young master is like this now, but he doesn't look like a weak person at all. ”
Chun Qiao glanced at her dissatisfiedly and replied, "Abide by your duty, what do you do with so much?" Do you bother with the master's turn? After the eldest young master is finished, you bring the soft cloth over. ”
As soon as they finished speaking, they stopped. Zhong Liyue hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the cloth.
Shen Zhaoyan took the soft cloth and wiped the sweat beads on his face, then picked up the tea cup handed by Chun Qiao, raised his head and took a sip.
"Big brother."
A soft man's call suddenly came from not far behind, and Zhong Liyue turned her head curiously to take a look.
I only saw that the person who came was about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a light blue partial brocade robe, combing his hair in a neat bun, his thin face was lined with Peugeot's facial features, handsome and weak, and his white skin could faintly see a few green tendons under the light, almost no blood, and he looked like an elegant scholar. His thin lips lifted slightly, and his black and white eyes kept looking at Shen Zhaoyan, walking slowly with a smile on the other.
Shen Zhaoyan only glanced at him lightly, and said with a blank face: "Why did you come so early?" ”
He replied slowly and softly: "I want to report to the eldest brother about the incident that I went out to do some time ago while the shopkeepers have not yet arrived." ”
"Wait for me in the front room!" Shen Zhaoyan said a word, and then let the second young master dry out and entered the house alone.
I didn't ask my brother if he had eaten it, and he didn't even say a polite word. According to Zhong Liyue's intuition, there must be something wrong between their brothers! Judging from the attitude of the eldest young master towards the second young master, he did not dislike the second young master, but he did not treat his younger brother with such a cordial feeling, and he was as indifferent as a stranger. But judging from the attitude of the second young master, he seems to admire this eldest brother, and from the moment he came over, his eyes were around the eldest young master.
However, normal people should be very sad to see their own big brother treating them like this, right?
Suspiciously, he followed Chun Qiao in, and the two of them relaxed their clothes for Shen Zhaoyan like last time, and when they came out, Zhixia happened to come in from outside with breakfast.
"Would you like to bring breakfast to the front room?" Zhong Liyue asked tentatively.
Chun Qiao and Zhixia glanced at her, Chun Qiao frowned and repeated impatiently: "I also told you that you don't have to worry about the master's affairs, you just need to do your part." ”
Zhong Liyue shrugged her shoulders boringly and said, "When I didn't say it." ”
In their hearts, they decided that there must be a contradiction between the eldest young master and the second young master, and Chunqiao and the others knew it. It's just that Chunqiao and the others don't know what this contradiction is, and Zhong Liyue doesn't know.
About half an hour later, Shen Zhaoyan appeared in the front hall wearing a brown-red silk robe.
Chun Qiao commanded the other four maids to be busy in Shen Zhaoyan's bedroom.
Couldn't go to the front hall to listen to what the two brothers were talking about, Zhong Liyue was looking forward to Chun Qiao and the others being able to gossip while they were doing things. But they never said a word.
"If you don't say it, I'll observe it myself." Zhong Liyue muttered.
Time passed little by little, everything in the bedroom was busy, and the shopkeepers of the shops also came one after another, and Chun Qiao led the four of them to the front hall.
Mingde had already come, and he stood on the right back side of Shen Zhaoyan with a fan, slowly fanning the wind for his master. Chun Qiao moved the lotus step lightly, went over and took the fan in Mingde's hand first, and then stood on the left side.
According to the previous training, Zhong Liyue and Zhixia stood at the back of the chair on the left, Nian Qiu and Ruodong stood at the back of the chair on the right, and the four maids transferred from the outer courtyard stood outside the gatehouse, waiting to be dispatched at any time.
There were a total of ten shopkeepers sitting in the room, Zhong Liyue lowered her head slightly, but her eyes rolled around and swept everyone in the room.
Among the ten shopkeepers, three were over fifty years old, five were around forty, and two were about twenty-five years old, all of them were holding a book with a blue cover in their hands, and when they came in, they respectfully bowed their hands to the eldest young master, and then bowed their hands to the second young master on the right.
"I would like to say, before the regular meeting begins, you should tell you about what you just told me." Shen Zhaoyan's loud voice broke everyone's words.
Everyone quieted down, and their eyes were unanimously on the second young master, Shen Jinyan.
Although this was not the first time, Shen Jinyan was still a little cramped, and after saying a few words vaguely, his expression and tone slowly came to normal.
After speaking, the two old shopkeepers sitting on the left side raised their own questions one after another, and Shen Jinyan answered them one by one unhurriedly, it seemed that he had been prepared for these questions.
The regular meeting began as a matter of course.
Seeing such a scene, Zhong Liyue couldn't help but think of the big and small meetings she had attended in her previous life. There is no air conditioning, no bench, and the whole process is just adding tea and pouring water, which she has never had when she first joined the work, and she is not even as good as an office assistant.
This time, that time!
"Hey!" Zhong Liyue touched the scene and couldn't help but sigh.
"What do you think!" Zhixia quietly moved over and pushed her. If she hadn't screamed in fright, she would have twisted her hard.
Receiving Zhixia's eye warning, Zhong Liyue reflexively set her eyes on Chun Qiao. She was staring coldly.
Zhong Liyue immediately showed an apologetic expression, and then concentrated her attention and put all her energy into the regular meeting.
Next, the shopkeepers report the business of the store they are in charge of for the past month.
Shen Zhaoyan listened intently, nodding occasionally. After everyone had finished speaking, he asked his own questions one by one. Ten shopkeepers, not one of them was not asked. He even dug out a few small problems in the details and asked them in detail.
His serious and serious appearance tightly grasped the hearts of every shopkeeper, coupled with the hot weather, everyone felt a little hot in their hearts, and the regular meeting suddenly entered a tense stage.
