In the end, the two stewards left, one was a sweeper and the other was a laundry, both of whom were newly appointed not long ago, and their errands were not as influential as others, so they were not as bold as others.

In the final analysis, these two people still feel that there is no need to directly confront the eldest lady inexplicably strong because of this, although it is possible to offend the other stewards, but for the two of them, it is at least better to offend than to make mistakes.

That's right, to make a mistake is to make a mistake!

At the moment, although the two stewards didn't say it, they already felt in their hearts that Steward Su and the others were obviously a mistake by doing this, but they didn't dare to say that at that time.

However, they also knew that the reason why the Su stewards dared to ignore the eldest lady so much and openly did it should be because someone was behind them, so they dared to be so unscrupulous, and they naturally didn't dare to be so arrogant.

waited until Ye Nianchen's breakfast was finished, and then Zhi'er walked out of the house again.

Seeing the two housekeepers who had never left, he smiled and said, "Okay, there are only two of you left, come in." ”

The two mothers-in-law quickly followed Zhi'er into the house, and when they saw Ye Nianchen, they saluted and greeted them in a proper manner.

"Why didn't you leave?" Looking at these two people, Ye Nianchen didn't see any joy or anger, but just asked casually.

"Miss, we are here to ask for advice, Miss Tell me to wait first, I haven't seen Miss yet, and we haven't received a reply, so we naturally don't dare to leave first." The two mothers-in-law were very polite.

At the same time, I hurried to introduce myself. The housekeeper's family name is Ding, and the housekeeper's family name is Wang, both of whom have worked in Yefu for nearly ten years, and they are both newly promoted stewards.

Seeing this, Ye Nianchen didn't have a single mouth to embarrass the two of them, and didn't blame them all about the other stewards leaving on their own.

"Why did you come to see me so early in the morning?" She just asked as usual. His gaze swept slowly over the two.

Steward Ding, who sprinkled the room, explained: "Back to the eldest lady. In the past, at the beginning of each month, the princess would convene all the stewards in the palace to ask about the things they were responsible for last month, and what arrangements we had for this month, the princess would give unified instructions to mislead. This is a routine thing. I guess the eldest lady doesn't know this rule very well. So I waited for a few days and didn't see the eldest lady summon us. Today, Steward Su invited me to come with him. ”

"Yes, now that the eldest lady takes care of all the affairs in the house, the princess has already ordered it. During the period, you just have to find the eldest lady for anything. The laundry room steward Wang also said: "Because there are some things that I don't dare to arrange at will, so I wait to see the eldest lady and act according to the eldest lady's instructions." ”

Both of them said their original intentions according to the rules, and they didn't know the specific thoughts of this eldest lady for the time being, and it should be best to be decent.

"Oh, I see. In addition to the outer court, how many stewards are there in the inner court? Ye Nianchen asked again, as if gossiping.

Hearing this, the two mothers-in-law couldn't help but glance at each other, it seems that the eldest lady really doesn't know anything about the things in the house, it seems that what Mrs. Su said is really not completely unfounded, the princess suddenly handed over the big and small things in the house to the eldest lady to take care of, I'm afraid it's not that simple.

No wonder that Mrs. Su seems to have taken the initiative to coax them to come to the eldest lady today, with the intention of making trouble a little bit.

"Back to the eldest lady, there are a total of nine housekeepers in the inner courtyard." Steward Ding answered truthfully and didn't think too much about it.

"In addition to the two of you, there are also four people who left on their own, which means that there are three other stewards who have not come here today?" Ye Nianchen looked at Mrs. Ding: "Do you know why the three of them didn't come?" ”

When Steward Ding heard this, he didn't hide it, and continued to answer: "Miss, as far as the little one knows, Steward Yao, who manages personnel, is sick and has taken two days off to lie at home and didn't come to the house. The forest manager in charge of procurement took people out of the house early in the morning to work, and this meeting was not in the house. And ......"

"There is also the bell steward in the back kitchen, she said that she doesn't come when she is free, and there are indeed a lot of things in the back kitchen." The Wang steward of the laundry room helped to make up for one, and seemed to be a little worried that Ye Nianchen would blame these people for not coming.

"Well, it's good, this steward is a very solid person. This point is not idle time, and it is not a hurry, so what do you have to do in a hurry to run to Xiaochen Xuan without doing business? ”

Ye Nianchen nodded, and then asked rhetorically: "What's the matter, you two are so busy that you two have nothing to do?" ”

"No, no, no, the eldest lady misunderstood." When the two mothers-in-law heard this, their faces immediately changed, and they hurriedly explained: "It's not that we have nothing to do, it's just that Steward Su asked us to come over together to report to the eldest lady about last month's affairs, and listen to the eldest lady's arrangements and instructions for each room and everything this month, so we came with us." ”

"The steward Su asked you to come, and you came, and the steward told you to go, why didn't you go with you?" Zhi'er asked with a smile, compared to Ye Nianchen, her face was a little obviously displeased.

The two mothers-in-law were also people who were used to seeing their faces, so they knelt down towards Ye Nianchen at the moment, and explained in a loud voice: "Eldest Miss Mingjian, eldest lady asked me to wait outside, and wait until you finish breakfast and see me again, I naturally don't dare to leave without saying hello." ”

"Don't dare? Don't you dare to follow others to make a fool of yourself? Zhi'er was unrelenting, and mocked: "Just such a little thing, you still dare to say something important that cannot be delayed, and you will follow people to Xiaochenxuan early in the morning to make an unruly commotion?" Could it be that you dared to do the same when you reported these trivial matters to the princess every month? ”

"The eldest lady forgives her sins, the small, the small one is also dizzy for a while, I think I didn't wake up early in the morning, and I followed the Su steward in a daze." Steward Ding still can't understand it. He hurriedly took the initiative to admit his mistake.

I have long felt that the eldest lady is not the kind of person who is easy to bully, she didn't want to come at all, but she was afraid of offending people, so she couldn't do whatever she wanted like Mrs. Zhong.

But now, looking at the eldest lady's posture, it is clear in my heart that I know better than anyone what things are going on, so I am afraid that it is difficult to be easy to be good.

Steward Wang also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, the little ones are confused, and they haven't even figured it out, so they were brought over by Steward Su." Later, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became. It was resolute that they didn't follow Su Guan anymore and left so irresponsibly without saying a word. ”

The words have come to this, and Steward Wang also knows that although the eldest lady looks at Wen Wen and hasn't paid much attention to them for the time being, this close-fitting attitude is very obvious. It is clear that it is to be liquidated. It can't be left alone.

"That's a nice thing to say. Don't think that my young lady really doesn't understand anything, when did the princess send someone to inform you of the monthly routine meeting of the housekeeper, and you went? How is it my young lady's turn to act as an agent for Fuchu affairs. It's become that you come over early in the morning to ask for debts, noisy and noisy? ”

Zhi'er sneered: "You people, what do you want to do, what kind of thoughts do you have?" Do you really think that my young lady is young and unfamiliar with the things in the house, and you stewards can work together without respect or humility, with no one in your eyes, and do whatever you want? The current people also want to slap the master in the face, is this a rebellion? ”

"The eldest lady Mingjian, the little one has no such intention!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Steward Ding and Steward Wang both knelt down immediately: "I will never dare, I will never dare to have such a heart!" Everything is led by the Su steward, inciting us and others, and forcibly pulling me and waiting! ”

"Okay, get up and talk, don't kneel at every turn, I don't need these vain things here."

Ye Nianchen finally spoke up again, looked at Ding and Wang and said, "Nianzai you two still have some brains in the end and didn't go with those people, so as long as you make all the things that should be explained clearly, today's matter will no longer embarrass you." ”

After that, Ye Nianchen didn't say much, just looked at Ding and Wang silently, looking like he was waiting to listen, and didn't specifically say what he wanted these two people to say.

She knew that these two people were both old people in the mansion, and their hearts would not be so bad, if they couldn't even comprehend her meaning, then it would be impossible for them to get the position of steward of the Ye Mansion.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Ding and Wang were silent for a moment, and then the two looked at each other for a while, as if they were thinking about something.

Up to now, Ye Nianchen's attitude has made them understand that they don't want to be involved in this matter and are also involved, and now they can only downplay their existence as much as possible, push out the responsibility as much as possible, and try to avoid being involved in it deeper.

"Miss, here's the thing, early this morning, Steward Su found us people, saying that since the eldest lady acted as the agent of the affairs of the house, she has not even summoned us stewards to meet each other for so long, and Steward Su thinks that the eldest sister is doing this...... It's a great disregard for us stewards......"

When Steward Ding said this, his voice subconsciously became a little smaller, as if he was afraid that Ye Nianchen would be angry, but he still continued: "Steward Su also said that even the princess has never neglected and despised us like this, so he wants us to come over and take the initiative to meet the eldest lady, let and let the eldest lady know that we are an important help in taking care of things in the house, and we must not be underestimated." ”

"Steward Su also said that during the period when the eldest lady acts as the agent of the affairs in the house, if we want to have a good life, we must unite and let the eldest lady take a good look at us, the ability and ability of our stewards, otherwise, no one will have a good life."

"That's all?" Hearing these words, Ye Nianchen didn't feel angry at all, but asked again.

But these two mothers-in-law didn't know what was going on, the more they saw Ye Nianchen with such a plain expression, the more they felt furious in their hearts.

"Also, there are ......" Steward Wang mustered up his courage and added: "Steward Su also said when they left, they wanted, to teach the eldest lady some lessons, saying that they wanted to let the eldest lady know that everything in this mansion has left us, oh, no, no, no, no, it is without them, and many things will not be sorted out at all, and they will not be able to continue properly." She also said that the eldest lady doesn't pay attention to them, and if it leads to chaos in the mansion and everything goes wrong in the mansion, the eldest lady will naturally not be able to explain to the lord and the princess. Moreover, Steward Su also concluded that he did not dare to do anything to them, because you would definitely not be able to find so many suitable candidates to replace them for a while, so that when the time comes, you will ask them for good words for the sake of the affairs of the house......"

The king's steward was annoyed, and poured out almost all those words, and in one breath, his face was miserable.

She didn't think about the king as much, not to bring as much responsibility as possible to the Su manager, she just subconsciously found that this eldest lady was not the kind of person who could be easily deceived at all, so she didn't dare to be lucky at all, and she didn't need the eldest lady to ask more, and she directly recruited all of them.

Steward Wang is actually more thoughtful than Steward Ding, she always feels that this eldest lady is by no means an idle person, dealing with such a smart person, instead of making some careful thoughts, it is better to take the initiative to confess everything, which is a real way out.

I can't think too much about it at the moment, but since Ye Nianchen returned to Beijing, in the several confrontations with Princess Zhaohua in the mansion, Steward Wang can see it more clearly than anyone else, but a little girl in the family has not suffered a loss from beginning to end.

It is precisely based on this that Steward Wang subconsciously felt that since he had met the eldest lady head-on, he could only make a decisive bet.

"This Su Guan is such an interesting person." Ye Nianchen couldn't help laughing, he really didn't feel the slightest bit annoyed, as if he hadn't been angry at all, but asked Steward Wang: "Where is Steward Su in charge of the affairs in the mansion on weekdays?" ”

"Back to the eldest lady, Steward Su is in charge of several warehouses in the house on weekdays, and she is responsible for the distribution of all kinds of food and clothing." Naturally, the king did not dare to hide it.

"No wonder, it seems that my little dust xuan can't do without her dispatching and matching, it seems that they are ready for me to take a good look at their power."

Ye Nianchen didn't ask Ding and Wang about the two housekeepers again, and after saying that, he put away his previous smile, and instead ordered solemnly: "Zhi'er, now go and inform Steward De immediately, and tell him that I plan to re-appoint and dismiss a group of stewards in the inner courtyard, so that he can put down all the things at hand and come over immediately to listen to the arrangement."
