The small building is quiet and chic, not big to look at, but the inside is very spacious and the layout is also very fine.

When An Ruolan's master and servant settled down, it was already noon, and Mr. Yi came over with two handsome and pleasing little maids who were very clever at a glance.

"This is four happiness and eight yuan, and I will be responsible for delivering meals to the young owner in the future and running errands." Mr. Yi introduced to An Ruolan.

Bai Ling and the green vulture were also beside him, and he couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle when he heard this, these two are really weird.

Sixi and Bayuan didn't feel annoyed, and smiled at the two of them, but it made Bailing and Qinghu quite embarrassed, Liu smiled and glanced at the two, and saw that Sixi was still carrying a food box, so he hurriedly took it and put it away.

The two maids saluted An Ruolan and the four of them, An Ruolan asked them to get up, and said with an easy-going smile: "We are generally old, how to be comfortable in the future, how to behave, I don't have so many rules here." ”

Sixi and Bayuan are also gone, and they should go down with a smile.

Mr. Yi asked An Ruolan to eat first, and then he came to talk to her about things.

The meals are very simple, they are all fresh mountain and wild vegetables, fresh and refreshing, An Ruolan eats happily, and the uneasiness in his heart because of the new environment has disappeared.

After the meal, An Ruolan's master and servant four people asked Sixi and Eight Yuan about the situation in the inner courtyard, and Sixi and Eight Yuan all told the truth.

"This place is no different from ordinary houses, but the requirements for entry and exit are stricter, if you don't have the permission of the fourth master and Mr. Yi, you are not allowed to enter and exit at will. The young owner also saw the fog outside the island. It's actually a maze, there is no guide, and ordinary people can't get in. I can't get out, and many people don't know that there is such an island, and everyone thinks that Chihiroju is the small inn by the lake. ”

Sixi's voice was proud and showing off, which showed that she had deep feelings for Chihiro.

"The fourth master has taken in a lot of people in the inner courtyard who are escaping from the world, those people are all with strange tempers and high martial arts, and the young owner should not turn around if he has nothing to do. Worried about getting in trouble. Bayuan looked much more stable and carefully advised.

Bai Ling often peeked at the words in An Ruolan's house. I was most interested in the affairs of the chivalrous people in the rivers and lakes, and when I heard this, my eyes were shining, and I asked: "Will they all fly off the wall?" Is there a female hero? ”

Sixi has a lively temperament and is very compatible with Bailing. Eyebrows flew and replied: "Of course, there is, I have seen a woman in red, who makes whips, but it is powerful!" ”

"Wow!" Bai Ling worshiped and held his face with his hands yearningly.

The green vulture glanced at Bailing in disgust and asked, "I see that there is no kitchen in Xiaozhu, and Mr. Fang Caiyi also said that in the future, you will also be responsible for delivering meals, is there only one kitchen in the entire house?" Or is there more than one, but it's far from here? ”

"It's just a big kitchen. In the westernmost part of the house, the rest of the yard has no kitchen, and it is not close. Eight Yuan replied.

"Isn't that why you can't eat whatever you want? Or what do you want to eat? Do you want to go to the big kitchen in advance to say something? But isn't it very troublesome to come and go? The vulture frowned.

Hearing this, Sixi immediately waved his hand and smiled: "It's not troublesome at all." ”

She jumped to the window, propped up the window, and pointed to the water channel that connected to the artificial lake outside: "Shaodongjia looks there, it is connected to the big kitchen." Just make a list of the dishes you want to eat and put them in a bamboo tube. Then throw it into the canal, the bamboo tube will float down the water flow to the sink of the big kitchen, the servants who work in the kitchen will regularly go to the bamboo tube to check, and then the master will cook for the masters of each yard according to the requirements on the list, and finally, it is the maid of each yard to get the food. ”

An Ruolan looked up at the sparkling canal, and said, "This saves a lot of effort." ”

"Although it's a bit troublesome, the rules here are like this, so let's get used to it slowly." Eight Yuan Dao.

"It's okay." An Ruolan shook her head with a smile, and asked some more taboo rules here, and the time was almost over, and Mr. Yi rushed over to discuss things with her.

After rejecting all the subordinates, Mr. Yi cautiously handed over the two seals to An Ruolan and said: "This is the sub-seal of the fourth master's seal, which represents the fourth master. ”

An Ruolan took it cautiously and looked at it carefully, it was two mutton fat white jade seals with a cut surface only the size of a copper coin, a long column, a pagoda shape at the top, a complicated relief on the pillar, and a lion with wings at the bottom, and two intersecting flags below, how weird it looked.

Seeing her staring at Zhang Zi with a puzzled face, Mr. Yi explained beside him: "The fourth master said that this is called a flying winged lion, which symbolizes bravery, freedom and fearlessness, and is the badge of 'He Ji'. ”

He also said: "The red one represents the permission, and the blue one represents the veto, and in the future, the young owner will deal with the files sent below, as long as they are stamped with different colored seals depending on the situation." ”

An Ruolan took a careful note, paused, and asked, "Sir, can I go out in the future?" ”

Because Sixi told Bayuan that without the permission of his father-in-law and Mr. Yi, he could not enter and leave here at will.

Mr. Yi smiled kindly: "Of course, when the young owner wants to go out, let Sixi or Bayuan go to pass the word, and the dock will arrange a boat for you to go out." ”

An Ruolan breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Yi." ”

Mr. Yi waved his hand to show that he was not polite, and An Ruolan asked again: "What does my father-in-law usually do?" "Now she only looks at the ledger and deals with small things, and if it's too big, she can't handle it.

After this period of experience, she knows very well how many catties and taels she has.

"The fourth master usually stamps, walks, and scolds." A tease flashed in Mr. Yi's eyes.

"Huh?" An Ruolan's eyes widened in surprise, "There are so many shops in 'He Ji', isn't my father-in-law busy?" "Didn't she hear it wrong?

"Of course it's not busy." Mr. Yi put his hands in his sleeves, leaned back, and said with a smile: "Each shop has at least two directors and two deputy managers, and there are actually very few things that need to be dealt with by the fourth master." Most of the time, it's when you can't make up your mind about what you encounter at the bottom. Next, it will be presented in a dense volume according to the rules, I will go through it first, and deal with what can be handled directly, and what cannot be handled will be sent to the fourth master, and then, it will be their business. ”

He pointed to the seal in An Ruolan's hand.

"Forehead...... suddenly felt a lot more relaxed?

After a pause, An Ruolan asked: "What's the matter with the ...... of walking and scolding"?

"Walking around the bend is just wandering around the island. Scolding people is to talk to the knights who live here. Mr. Yi shrugged his shoulders boredly.

An Ruolan was silent for a while. Suddenly, he said, "Sir, why don't I go back to the Hou Mansion." "Because there's nothing wrong with her!

"That's not going to work." But he didn't want Mr. Yi to refuse her in one bite, and smiled very kindly, "The fourth master ordered before leaving." Be sure to teach the young owner well, from tomorrow, ask the young owner to prepare well, and then go down to the shops to inspect and understand the situation of each shop.

The corners of An Ruolan's mouth twitched, and he squeezed out a sentence: "Can you not go?" ”

When her father-in-law was in charge, she was idle to find someone to scold and fight, but she had to inspect the shop, who was the real owner?

"If the young owner is unwilling to go, then I have to hand over the 'He Ji' to Zhong Erye to take care of. I don't know how much of the underlying industry will be left when the fourth master comes back from danger. As he spoke, he sighed sadly and melancholy.

“…… I'll go. An Ruolan gritted her teeth and spit out these two words.

"The young owner is wise." Mr. Yi turned his sorrow into joy in an instant. Give it to you.

"Huh." An Ruolan sneered in her heart.

She didn't even have time to adapt to the new environment, and on the same day, under the supervision and guidance of Mr. Yi, An Ruolan began to prepare for the inspection of the shops, and she needed to understand the business situation of each shop and the object of cooperation. Remember the customer, name, and position of the head and deputy manager of each store.

It's a onerous task. Because there are too many industries under the name of 'He Ji', it took An Ruolan half a month to get through the test, and he was praised by Mr. Yi as "not bad".

Because of her excellent appearance, Mr. Yi also allowed her to go home to visit relatives and friends, and An Ruolan, who had been suppressed for half a month, almost shouted long live.

The next day after getting permission, An Ruolan returned to the shore by boat early in the morning and got into the carriage back to the Hou Mansion.

An Ruolan missed the sisters of the Hou Mansion very much, but after returning to the Hou Mansion, she still went to ask Mrs. An for peace first, but she didn't want to, and heard a bad news.

"Now the people in Quanshengjing know that Zhong Siye has an accident, everyone is talking about it, they all say that you have taken over the 'He Ji', and some people are asking around about your whereabouts, I heard that Zhong Siye used to do business and had enemies with many people, just in case, Lan'er, you should try not to go out and walk around during this time." Mrs. An said worriedly.

An Ruolan finally understood why Mr. Yi took her to Qianxunju, and why he asked Sixi and Bayuan to follow her to protect her.

With her brows furrowed, she asked, "How did this spread?" ”

After discussing it with the Zhong family, he said to the outside world that his father-in-law was seriously ill and recuperating in Haicheng, so why was the matter revealed?

Speaking of this, Mrs. An couldn't help but be annoyed, and said: "Who else, the second master of the Zhong family, can't he know that the whole world knows that he has a deep brotherly relationship with your father-in-law, and he confides in people everywhere about the pain and sadness of losing his younger brother!" ”

"It's him again!" An Ruolan's eyes lit up with flames.

Mrs. An sighed and said, "Don't go back to the Hou Mansion, your grandfather is also looking for you everywhere, anxious to teach you how to take care of the shop." ”

An Ruolan pursed her lips and whispered comfortingly: "Grandmother don't worry, granddaughter is now living in a separate courtyard of her stepfather, where it is very safe. ”

"That's good." Mrs. An nodded, and said eagerly: "It's not early, your grandfather will return to the house in a while, you should leave quickly, so as not to be bumped into by him." ”

Hearing this, An Ruolan felt sour in her heart, and she didn't care about meeting a few sisters, so she asked her mother and aunts to say goodbye, she took Sixi and Bayuan, left the Hou Mansion in a hurry, and rushed back to Qianxunju.

Sitting in the carriage, An Ruolan couldn't help crying. (To be continued) R655
