After Jia Baoyu returned home, he asked the two of them to move the bamboo products they bought to Ermen, and then let the two idle mothers-in-law on Ermen move to Jia Baoyu's house in Rongqing Hall.

"Why did the second master come back so early today?"

Qingwen fanned the fan, wearing a small pink satin, a very thin dress, and came over bewitchingly.

"You don't want me to come back soon."

Jia Baoyu replied casually, walked to the tea table in the house, poured himself a bowl of herbal tea and drank it.

The mothers-in-law usually don't go into the inner room, put the things at the entrance of the hall and leave, Qingwen stepped forward and rummaged through them, and said: "The second master bought so many things made of bamboo, and there is no place to put them in the house." ”

The attacker beckoned Musk Yue to come forward and carry the things in, and said to Qingwen: "You are confused again, the second master doesn't love these things, it must have been bought for the third girl and the fourth aunt." ”

"Yo ho, I don't know yet, I want you to talk more."

Qingwen let go and didn't help, and when she turned around, she saw Jia Baoyu drinking herbal tea, knowing that he was hot, so she went over to fan him.

She is not a self-sacrificing master, she only stood on Jia Baoyu's right, rolled up her sleeves and fanned the two of them together. While fanning, I also pull my neckline to let the breeze blow in and cool down.

"It's not May yet, it's so hot, and this summer will be harder than usual."

Jia Baoyu didn't care when she heard Qingwen speak, but when she accidentally looked back and saw Qingwen's movements, she instantly felt that the day seemed to be hotter......

"The second master hasn't eaten yet, has he?"

The assailant walked out and asked.

"I just ate a little outside, so I don't have to go to the kitchen anymore."

The assailant nodded.

Qingwen suddenly said: "Second master, there are frozen fruits in the water tank in the small kitchen, all of them are fresh, the old lady got up early and asked someone to send them, why don't I go and get them and serve the second master to eat?" ”

Jia Baoyu glanced at her neck collar hidden by her thin clothes and nodded.

Qingwen went happily.

At this time, there was only one person left in the room, and Jia Baoyu looked at her.

The attacker was looked at with a low ruddy face.

"Come in and help me get dressed."

Jia Baoyu smiled slightly and took the lead in the inner room.

The attacker knew his second master very well, and at this time he had already guessed that he might have other intentions.

But she still obediently entered the house.

Moments later......

The attacker blushed and looked at Jia Baoyu who was walking out with his legs raised: "Where is the second master going?" ”

"Let's go and see in the garden."

"Don't eat the fruit anymore?"

Jia Baoyu turned around, glanced at the attacker, and said with a smile:

"Didn't you taste it? Well, it tastes pretty good......"

The attacker's face was suddenly bloody, and his watery eyes turned white at Jia Baoyu.

"Hehehehehe......"

With a smug voice, Jia Baoyu turned around and went out through the back door, leaving a sentence at the end:

"I won't eat the real fruit, you and Qingwen can eat it slowly."

……

"Where's the second master?"

Qingwen entered the house with the washed and clean fruit, and found that Jia Baoyu was not there, so she asked the attacker who was sitting by the window with the soles of her shoes.

"The second master went to the garden, and said that he didn't eat the fruit, so just ask you to eat it yourself."

Qingwen heard the voice of the attacker a little weird, to be exact, it was an indescribable lack of heart.

Placing the fruit plate on the table, Qingwen walked up to the attacker and looked up and down......

"Do something."

The assailant turned his back.

"Hmph, if you hadn't done something wrong, what would you do with such a weak heart!"

"What a bad thing, what nonsense are you talking about."

"Uh-huh." Qingwen snorted softly and turned around and walked back.

"Since the second master doesn't eat, then we'll help him solve it. Do you want to eat or not? ”

"You can eat......"

"If you don't eat, I'll go to Xiangling."

After speaking, he took a cherry and ate it first, then took the plate and twisted his body to look for Xiangling.

The attacker glanced back at Qingwen and thought: This Nizi doesn't know what to think, Xiangling doesn't care about the second master's quilt every night, but looks at me like a thief, making things difficult everywhere.

What do you mean......

……

Walk east from Jiamu's flower hall, walk through Wang Xifeng's courtyard, walk thirty-four steps, turn north, and look at the Grand View Garden that is in full swing under construction.

This is the main entrance of the Grand View Garden.

The construction of the garden is going well, and now it is halfway through, and from here, you can see people coming and going, and the temple rising.

Like several important buildings, such as the Grand View Building, Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Wuwu Garden, etc., have begun to take shape.

Of course, they don't call them by these names yet.

Even the Grand View Garden is now called the Provincial Garden.

Everything is waiting for the garden to be built, and he will give them these names himself.

When he walked into the garden, he was greeted by a little steward.

"Where's Steward Lin?"

"Back to the second master, Steward Lin is supervising the work on the north corner. But the chief steward is in the steward's room......"

Jia Baoyu nodded and went up to the north corner.

The little steward stood there and thought about it, and went to the steward's room.

Lai Da was settling an account at hand, and when he saw the little steward looking at the door, he called him in.

"What's the matter?"

"Back to the manager, the second master of Fang Caibao is here."

"Oh, what is Bao Er Ye doing?"

Lai Da stood up and went out to greet him.

"Second Master Bao didn't come...... No, Second Master Bao came, and went to the north corner to find Steward Lin. ”

"What is he looking for Lin Zhixiao?"

"I don't know this little one......"

Lai Da groaned and sat down.

It stands to reason that he is the manager, even if Jia Baoyu wants to survey the scene, or check the accounts and other things, he should look for him first.

The little steward came over and said, "Second Master Bao went to find Steward Lin, will it be unfavorable to Manager Lai?" ”

Lai Da glanced at him: "What nonsense, Second Master Bao is the master, we are slaves, do you need to report to us what the master wants to do?"

Besides, I was sent in by the master to take care of the garden, and it was also for the sake of the house, why should the second master of Bao be unfavorable to me?

It's unfounded! With this kung fu, it is better to go to the field and have a look, and stop those lazy people to be lazy. ”

"Yes, yes, the general manager teaches that the little ones will go."

The little steward went back, but Lai Da was not as calm as he showed on his face, thought about it, picked up a few account books, hesitated, and deliberately left another one, and then left the house to the north corner.

……

Lin Zhixiao is a middle-aged man in his forties, a slave born in the family, and he looks quite calm, and his mother-in-law is known as "deaf and dumb" in the house.

The so-called deaf and dumb refers to the fact that the two of them have few words and are not public, and they are two people who do things silently.

Jia Baoyu talked with him for a while, and learned about the progress of the various projects in the garden and the cost of the garden.

Lin Zhixiao, as the second housekeeper, also understands these things, and told Jia Baoyu them one by one.

"Next, I may have to go out, and I have to pay more attention to the things in the garden.

In the future, maybe Mr. Lin will have many opportunities for development. ”

Jia Baoyu said this, which immediately made Lin Zhixiao's heart move.

It stands to reason that the specific construction affairs of the garden, Jia Zheng and others are handed over to the chief manager Lai Da, even if Jia Baoyu wants to go out, wouldn't it be better to explain these things to Lai Da?

In addition, it is true that he is a housekeeper, but there is a Lai Da above, and the title of manager should not fall on his head, is it just a slip of the tongue by Jia Baoyu?

However, he is a foolish and clumsy person, and these questions will not be asked, but he will nod and answer, and then say: "What is the second master Bao going out to do?" Now that the second master is not at home, the second master is here, so he can just share his worries for the master......"

Jia Baoyu shook his head.

"This is a major matter for the imperial court, and non-human beings can refuse."

When Lin Zhixiao heard this, he immediately bent his waist down in an arc again, and said: "Second Master Bao is gifted with magical powers, and now he is going to lead the errand of the imperial court, and the servants are waiting here to wish the second master a smooth trip and return home victorious." ”

Jia Baoyu smiled, so that he didn't have to be polite, because he had already seen Lai Da coming.

"Second Master Bao."

"Hmm."

After a brief greeting, Lai Da asked, "Did Second Master Bao come into the garden, but did he have any instructions?" ”

"It's nothing, just ask where the progress of the garden is."

Jia Baoyu shook his head and said casually.

Lai Dadao: "The master asked me to be in charge of the specific affairs in this garden, if the second master has any problems in the future, he can go directly to the steward's room, and the old slave will be on duty there almost every day." ”

"Well, I know, Mr. Lai has worked hard, and I will tell the master when I go back, the credit of Mr. Lai."

"Don't dare to take credit, it's just the duty of the minions.

By the way, these are the accounts of the garden in the past two months, does Bao Er Ye want to take a look? ”

"No need." Jia Baoyu smiled slightly: "Can't I still trust Mr. Lai?" Even the old man trusts Mr. Lai, hehe. ”
