Now the two ladies still have the final say, but after now, it may not be the same in the future.

Although Lan Sheng is not good at socializing, he has been looking at people since elementary school, and he is very sensitive and vigilant. The old lady played Tai Chi and said that she didn't care, but the matter of the Wu Temple was clearly through her nod. And she seems to be very kind to Wu Mei, but the words that ask Wu Mei to assist her husband have a tough meaning. Listening to these words, the old lady does not lose and Wu Mei does not win. On the one hand, it may be that the old lady does not want to offend the other two daughters-in-law; On the other hand, her mother came prepared but didn't think that she was too strong and offended the old lady. Speaking of house fighting, it is far from that level, it is just the art of chatting in a big house.

Youhua bit her ear, "Take out some of the momentum of the eldest lady, and they will know that we are not easy to mess with." ”

Lan Sheng nodded, coughed his throat, and said in a higher voice, "Who did Fourth Miss's new courtyard build from?" Did you change the overall structure yourself, or did you draw it by a craftsman? ”

The wind is cold.

The gray-clothed steward opened his mouth wide, a little unresponsive, "...... That one...... The small one is not clear, it is the craftsman that the chief manager went to find. Miss...... What does the overall structure mean? ”

Youhua pulled Lan Sheng behind her, and rolled her eyes, sure enough, she was useless, and she didn't dare to ask people but asked about building a house.

"What do you mean by that? If you don't open the courtyard door quickly, if it is too tattered inside, you can go back and tell the chief Xiao to find some better skilled craftsmen to build the building. The place where the second lady lives can't be worse than the fourth lady's. "Fierce Babaga is not easy to provoke.

The gray-clothed steward responded, pushed the door in, and faced his head with a cobweb, so disgusting that he was groaning. At the same time, he didn't dare to slack off, and lit up all the places that could be lit, wanting the three of Lan Sheng to see clearly. It's just that after he saw it clearly, his expression suddenly collapsed. There are cobwebs everywhere, the eaves are collapsing, the grass in the middle of the courtyard is half a person high, a big iron lock is hung in the main house, the paper windows are still in good condition, and the doors and windows of the other houses are all in tatters, which is not at all a situation where people can live tonight. Most of the people who asked servants to live in such a place would not be able to do so.

A black line passed by his calf, and he jumped up with a scream, but he heard the bitter-faced little guy say two words.

"Mouse."

He looked into the corner and drank, and a fat gray rat rolled its belly with red eyes, allowing a branch to skewer through its body.

He said Mom, only to feel that there were hundreds of red eyes and crawling cockroach legs in those places that couldn't be illuminated, and he couldn't help but shrink to the door, "Miss Lan Sheng, how can this place be inhabited?" Why don't you go with me to the chief manager and explain the truth. ”

"I think I can live." The tiles are broken and bad, the four corners of the eaves are also quite damaged, and the bricks of the paving corridor are almost all cracked, but the beams and wooden column mullions on the roof of the corridor are mostly well preserved, and it seems that quite good wood is used.

Lan Sheng continued, "Let's look inside, if the inside of the house is worse than the outside, that's another matter. ”

When the gray-clothed steward heard this, he muttered that it was bad enough outside, but he had to listen to Lan Sheng, and followed him to the door of the main house, his eyes lit up, "How can such a strong iron lock be opened?" Or—"

Hey? Why did Miss Lan Sheng and that girl ring go so far? But the bitter-faced little guy stood close to the tip of his nose against the door panel, and suddenly raised his foot and kicked it, and the chain door fell like this. It was like a bamboo shelf of paper paste, and he looked at it in a daze, eating a mouthful of dust without realizing it, because he finally realized that Miss Lan Sheng might be easy to deal with, but the two people under her were definitely not easy to mess with.

He has not been in the house for a long time, and he is consciously clever, but there is no way out. Just because the stewards were also divided into factions, and there were already confidants in each court, he was doing chores everywhere. I heard that the second lady who had been away from home for many years came back, and those old people in the house had already rumored that the lady was not good, and they all stood on the side of Mrs. Ju and Mrs. Die, intending to join forces to deal with it. He didn't care, he planned to keep his job with the crowd, so he dared to show Lan Sheng impatience. After looking at it carefully, his heart was relieved. has been waiting for the opportunity to be promoted, suffering from selfishness and not being able to show his ability in front of the masters, and now the second lady has appeared, although there are capable people beside her, but I don't know anything about the house for more than ten years, isn't it just the time when someone needs to show sincerity?

It's better to give charcoal in the snow than to put the icing on the cake. He ate ashes, rubbed his eyes, and knelt down to Lan Sheng when he turned around, and his mind had been decided.

"Hey, I'm telling you, don't think you cry, you don't have to go into the house. Rats are so rampant outside, and I don't know what's disgusting inside! You are the steward of this house, and you must be the first. "There are flower thoughts, sometimes naïve, and so fierce that people laugh at them.

Lan Sheng had some eyebrows, but he was innocent with flowers, "You get up, you don't have to take the lead." "Don't forget, she's mean.

The gray-clothed steward lowered his eyes and said respectfully, "The youngest surname is Wu, the third in the family, and my father is the bookkeeper of the restaurant, so he can write and count." I have been working in Nanyue Mansion for three years and seven months, and I am willing to serve the second lady and young lady as dogs and horses. ”

Youhua pouted, "Who wants you to follow-"

Lan Sheng truncated, "Steward Wu, is this Mao Sui's self-recommendation?" ”

Wu Sandao, "The little ones don't dare to boast of being talented, but their heads are not clumsy." The most important thing is that I remember what my father taught, and I know how to repay it. If the second lady and the young lady don't dislike it, and use the small one, the small one will be ruined. ”

Lan Sheng thought for a while, and replied after a while, "Everyone can say good things, but I still have a shallow experience, and I dare not conclude that you are really capable or fake." However, I can tell my mother about this, and you can wait a few days to see if she will ask you about it. ”

Wu San kowtowed, "Miss Lan Sheng can say kind words to the second lady, and the little one is grateful." I also asked the young lady to convey to the second lady that there are many people in this house who openly support Mrs. Ju and Mrs. Die, and there are even more people who secretly support them, and it is best to have a helper who knows them well and is familiar with the people and things at home earlier. ”

Although the small report is not bright, it is also tactful to say that her mother should need this kind of sincerity. Lan Sheng promised to help convey it.

Wu San's mental outlook was completely different, and with the vigor of going up the sword mountain and going down the sea of fire, he took the lead in entering the house. Probably out of the psychology of "loyalty", he kept saying that this house could not be inhabited, and said that the main courtyard was the best, as long as the lord was convinced, Mrs. Ju and Mrs. Butterfly could not object, and then the temporary residence became a long-term residence, and the second lady could naturally take over the family affairs.

Lan Sheng didn't help her mother think about it at all, she just felt that this place was suitable for her, and if she didn't occupy a place this night, she wouldn't want to live in it in the future. As for her mother, nine times out of ten, she won't be able to come tonight.

So, she said, "As I expected, the inside is much better than the outside, this room can be inhabited as long as it is cleaned, and the rest of the house can be renovated slowly." ”

Even if her mother wanted to live in, she wouldn't let her.
