Chapter 399: New Master Bai Jinli
If you don't want to come, it's better. Bai Jinli sat idly on a stool and drank tea, her tone was very casual.
“???” Erhuo said that he didn't understand her attitude very well, and even Pan Zi looked puzzled.
If those people are not willing to cooperate and talk back, won't they have to wait in vain, and it can also show that this matter is more difficult to do?
No matter how you look at this result, it hurts, and I don't know why Mrs. looks calm and wanton.
However, they didn't ask any more questions, just stood there and waited quietly.
Half a pillar of incense's kung fu passed quickly, and there were only two people who appeared in front of Bai Jinli within this stipulated time.
One was the man she sent out to shout before, and the other was a long sharp-beaked monkey with a low head and suppressed the calculation and shrewdness in his eyes, leaving only the top of his head.
Bai Jinli glanced at the two of them quietly, and then asked, "What do you call them?" ”
"Little Li Du, on the orders of Steward Zhao, is responsible for supervising everyone's work in the tea garden today."
"The little Zhao Yi is the guardian of the manor, and he was busy elsewhere, and he heard the new master's order and rushed over."
"Steward Zhao? Where is he? Bai Jinli asked.
"Back to the new master, Steward Zhao is unwell today and can't come, so the special one will come over to say goodbye to you." A man named Zhao Yi replied.
"Not feeling well? Is it serious? Bai Jinli asked with a concerned face.
"Thank you for the new master's concern, I heard that Steward Zhao only occasionally felt a cold, which is not serious, but he is a little old and his body is not as strong as that of a young man, so he needs to rest more, so he didn't come over."
As soon as Zhao Yi finished speaking, he heard Bai Jinli speak: "Since you are old, what else should you do?" As of today, he was removed. When you go back, tell him that as long as he doesn't die, come over to me immediately, and after handing over the things in handover, you can pay and leave. ”
"New master, I'm afraid this is not very good, right? Anyway, Steward Zhao has also been a steward in this tea garden for more than 20 years, and there is no merit and hard work. If Steward Zhao is driven away because of this matter, I am afraid that it will cause everyone's dissatisfaction and even strike. ”
After Bai Jinli heard this, she couldn't help but snort coldly, glanced at Erhuo and commanded.
"Erhuo, palm mouth."
"Yes, ma'am." Erhuo stepped forward and pinched Zhao Yi's collar, and the other hand beckoned to his face.
Erhuo is a martial arts practitioner in the end, and the strength in his hand is naturally not small, but after a few slaps, Zhao Yi's face was swollen.
"Alright."
Hearing Bai Jinli shout to stop, Erhuo let go of Zhao Yi's collar with some unfinished thinking, and turned around and stood back in place.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're just a contracted part-time worker on the estate. What qualifications does a mere subordinate have to refute my words? Are you teaching me how to do things? ”
"The little ones don't dare." Zhao Yi's face was hot and painful, his ears were still buzzing, and a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, but he hid it quickly.
"Don't dare? You've opened your mouth to threaten me with words like strike, what else would you not dare? Bai Jinli smiled faintly, staring at him with a hint of coolness.
"The new master is angry, it's the little one who said the wrong thing."
"Well, just know your mistakes and admit them, and it's not in vain that I kindly teach you. Do you still have any objections to my orders? Bai Jinli raised her eyebrows and asked him.
"No, the little one will go and convey the original words to Steward Zhao." Zhao Yi lowered his head and replied.
"Go ahead, give you half a pillar of incense, no matter how sick he is, even if he lifts it, he has to carry someone over for me."
"Yes." Zhao Yi nodded, turned around and left quickly.
Li Du on the side silently looked at the figure of Zhao Yi leaving, and secretly wondered in his heart, the arrogant woman in front of him was afraid that it was going to be finished.
She dared to offend the person who Steward Zhao valued the most, and she was so ruthless, she was really young and vigorous.
You must know that this big manor has been in the hands of Steward Zhao for more than 20 years, and no one knows this manor better than Steward Zhao.
He firmly holds the handle and lifeblood of everyone in this manor, and he has a strong ability to fool people.
This new master looks like a young man who has never seen the world, even if he has such a tough attitude now, what can he do?
was fooled by Steward Zhao for a while, and after she left, it wasn't Steward Zhao who had the final say?
Besides, she only brought a few people with her when she came, you must know that after so many years, there are many people who can be used in Zhao's hands.
And he got a lot of benefits by relying on the manor to enrich himself, and he used those benefits to seek a lot of support for himself.
In the entire manor, Steward Zhao is like the emperor of the manor, and everything is up to him.
As for the other seven or eight people who were also in charge of the affairs of the tea garden, they were all promoted by Steward Zhao, and they must have obeyed his orders.
Otherwise, when the new master asked him to call someone over, he only sent Zhao Yi to inquire about the situation, and the others didn't move, they were all waiting to see what happened.
He was even thinking that if Bai Jinli was too much, he was afraid that he would be beaten by Zhao's people.
"I ask you, how many people are there in this manor?"
Bai Jinli didn't know that Li Du was thinking a lot in her heart at the moment, and she asked in a calm tone.
"If the little one remembers correctly, there should be more than sixty people in total."
"Well, go and call everyone for me."
"Yes." After hearing Bai Jinli's order, Li Du already had a vague guess.
It seems that this new master is planning to call other people over to talk to him.
No, he'd have to say hello to those people first.
Seeing that Li Du also left, Bai Jinli continued to sit there leisurely drinking tea and eating snacks.
"Master, these two people are not a good thing at first glance, why don't you let the little one call people in the past? In case he threatens others in private......" Erhuo looked at the back of Li Du leaving, and couldn't help but ask.
"I'm afraid he won't."
"Forehead ......" two fires.
Good horn, the master deserves to be the master, and the idea is different, which is incomprehensible.
He better shut up and stand aside and watch quietly.
"Xiao Chiwang, if I remember correctly, one of Bai Meng's recent learning projects is tea art."
"I'll go to the tea plantation and I'll be back in a minute."
After hearing Bai Jinli's words, Xiao Chiwang ran in the direction of the tea garden after speaking.
Since Bai Meng has been learning tea art recently, it naturally means that she needs tea to practice.
It just so happened that they were in the tea garden now, and they could go over and get some new tea for Bai Meng to bring back.
"Come back after half a pillar of incense kung fu, I have something to tell you to do." Bai Jinli said to Xiao Chiwang's back.
"Oh, got it." Xiao Chiwang responded, and his figure quickly integrated into the tea garden.
The so-called Steward Zhao was really carried over by a group of people.
During this period, it took almost half a pillar of incense.
There were four people who carried him over, all of whom were five big and three thick, and they looked a little fierce.
In addition to him and the four people who carried him, four or five people came over here and there, saying that they were also the people in charge here, and they were busy with each other, and they also rushed over after hearing the news of the new master's coming.
Bai Jinli glanced at those people with a faint smile and didn't make a sound.
Soon, those who carried Steward Zhao put the stretcher carrying him on the ground in front of Bai Jinli, and then stood aside with their hands behind their backs, like a thug collecting debts.
"Ahem, the old slave is the Zhao steward of this manor, I don't know that the new master has arrived, and it is really a sin to miss the welcome, cough!"
Steward Zhao trembled slightly with one hand on the stretcher, and with the other hand covering his chest and talking, his old face was a little pale, looking like he was seriously ill and couldn't get out of bed.
"You are indeed guilty, Erhuo, pour a basin of water on the past, and let Steward Zhao sober up." Bai Jinli commanded lightly.
As soon as these words came out, Erhuo obeyed.
There happens to be a well in the yard, and there is a water urn next to it, which is very rich in water resources.
Erhuo carried a bucket of water and splashed it on Steward Zhao.
In just a moment, Steward Zhao was splashed into a soup chicken.
"Ahem, ahem, this ...... Is this a punishment given to the old slave by the new master? Old, ahem, old slave accepts. ”
Steward Zhao was also shocked by Bai Jinli's unreasonable operation of playing cards, but he still struggled to suppress the anger in his heart and pretended to be human.
It's just that Bai Jinli clearly saw that Steward Zhao's hand on the stretcher had involuntarily tightened, and it was slightly pale because of the pinching force.
A hint of gloom and anger quickly flashed on his face, but he quickly lowered his eyes and returned to a sickly appearance.
This person deserves to be in charge here for more than 20 years, and he is really calm.
"What do you mean, new master? Steward Zhao didn't mean not to come to see you, he was really sick and couldn't come, and now that everyone else has been carried here, you have also seen it, why do you want to punish him? ”
After seeing Bai Jinli's actions, someone immediately hugged Steward Zhao upset.
"Who are you?" Bai Jinli glanced at him.
"Little Zhao Fu is the supervisor in this manor." The man replied.
"Oh." After Bai Jinli sighed, she no longer looked at him, but continued to look at Steward Zhao with a smile.
Zhao Fu, who was ignored by "......", suddenly looked angry, and couldn't help but clench his fists.
"Ahem, Zhao Fu, who asked you to talk to your new master like this? Do you understand the rules? Ahem, new master, don't mind, this kid is just worried about my body, and has no other meaning. ”
Steward Zhao continued to support his arms and said tremblingly.
It's not yet April, and the temperature in the suburbs is still a little cool.
Especially when Steward Zhao was poured water, he was blown by the wind, and his body was cold and swishing.
Bai Jinli didn't dwell on this question, but continued to ask.
"Steward Zhao, I wonder if Zhao Yi can convey my meaning to you, huh?"
Steward Zhao looked up at Bai Jinli, and opened his mouth with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"New master, are you talking about removing my stewardship, paying the old slave, and letting the old slave go? Ahem, ahem! ”
After hearing Steward Zhao say this, the five people standing behind him hurriedly spoke.
"No, Steward Zhao can't go."
"yes, yes......"
Even after the four fierce and vicious people heard Bai Jinli's words, their bodies burst with malice of wanting to beat people, and their eyes looked towards Bai Jinli fiercely.
