Xiaogu and Yuchuan glanced at each other, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

During this time, in the eyes of outsiders, her own young lady seemed to be ruthless, with little time to cry, and all the time was busy like a spinning top. Only they know the suffering of the young lady. For many days and nights, the young lady couldn't sleep all night. In the morning, she had to carry all the burden of the family on her weak shoulders. She is walking on thin ice, lest she will not be able to protect the family business and live up to her father's last wishes.

These maids are secretly worried about their master, for fear that she will be overwhelmed by sadness and pressure. Now that they saw that Zhong Lingyu seemed to be soothed, the heart they were hanging on was relaxed.

"Miss, you see that the grass has been loosened and fertilized, and the tea tree is growing well, it can be seen that Steward Li is still serious about his work, at least he didn't spoil the tea tree." Xiaogu said.

Zhong Lingyu nodded, turned around and walked up: "Let's go." ”

The group inspected the tea plantations and saw that the tea trees were well cared for and the tea leaves were growing well, so Zhong Lingyu was relieved.

This tea garden is the foundation of the Zhong family's big house; And the hair tea of those tea farmers is just the icing on the cake. As long as there is this tea plantation, even if you give up that business, it can't hurt the roots.

By the time Zhong Lingyu came down from the mountain, it was already noon. Chunli and the others had already prepared the meal. After eating, Steward Li came in and said, "Miss, the villain has sent someone to inquire, and the tea farmers who came yesterday are willing to compensate us for silver taels in accordance with the provisions of the contract." ”

"Is it only the Ming Qian Tea that defaults, or is the Ming Qian and the rain together?"

"Before the dawn and before the rain."

"yes, I see." Zhong Lingyu nodded, her expression was flat, it seemed that the choices of these people were all expected by her.

Steward Li opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

"If Steward Li has anything to say, just say it." Zhong Lingyu raised her dark jade-like eyes and looked at Steward Li.

"Miss, we have tea estates in Ba County and Fuling County. I'm afraid it's not enough to rely on the tea from our tea garden. Why don't you send someone to call the young master back, let the young master and the villain go to those tea farmers' houses to sit down, and then persuade them? ”

Zhong Lingyu stared at Steward Li, and his gaze slowly softened.

She shook her head, "No need. You don't have to worry, I have my own opinion on this matter. ”

Steward Li's eyebrows furrowed tightly, and he couldn't stop sighing.

Zhong Lingyu smiled, didn't understand, and asked: "Except for those tea farmers who came yesterday, how about the other tea farmers, have you visited?" ”

Steward Li nodded: "I went and asked, but they didn't have any other ideas." As long as the Zhong family collects tea as usual, they sell tea. But......" he sighed deeply, "these have not changed their minds, they are just scattered tea farmers, and there are not many mountains in their hands." All combined, there isn't much tea. Moreover, the quality of fried Mao tea is afraid to be bad. ”

"It's okay, you just manage the tea in this part of the tea garden. Leave the rest alone. ”

Zhong Lingyu didn't listen to persuasion, and neither could Steward Li. He is just a subordinate, with Zhong Deping's blue eyes, promoted to be a steward, and when the master is stubborn, he can only obey orders.

Looking at Steward Li's slightly clumsy back when he left, Zhidong seemed to be unbearable, and said to Zhong Lingyu: "Miss, the slave doesn't look like this Steward Li was being co-opted by the second master, why don't we reveal the plan to him so that he can rest assured." ”

Before Zhong Lingyu could speak, Chun Li scolded Zhidong: "You are the softest." Not to mention that Steward Li is now indistinguishable from friend and foe, even if his loyalty is confirmed, Miss's plan is very important, how can he leak it to others? Don't spoil Miss's big business just because of a moment of soft-heartedness. ”

Zhidong lowered his head in amazement, pursed his lips and did not dare to make a sound.

Zhong Lingyu, the four maids, was bought by Zhong Deping since he was a child and carefully cultivated for his daughter. Chunli is dignified, fair, and calculating, and several maids are under her control, and he is the first person around Zhong Lingyu; Zhidong is a good hand in arithmetic, when Zhong Lingyu entered the inner house, the family's accounts were taken care of by Zhidong, she also has a good cooking skill, and she also knows some pharmacology; Needless to say, Xiaogu and Yushi, a good kung fu can protect Zhong Lingyu's safety.

The most rare thing is that these four maids have followed Zhong Lingyu since they were seven or eight years old, and their loyalty does not have to worry, they are absolutely loyal to the city.

Like Solstice, even if he is soft-hearted, he will never reveal any secrets without Zhong Lingyu's consent.

"Okay, you go and calculate the winter, how much silver those tea farmers will compensate us this time, it is from the second master's pocket, which is enough for him to feel distressed for a while." Speaking of this, Zhong Lingyu's mood was particularly good.

Zhong Deqing is a small-minded person who loves to take advantage of him, and when he was a child, because Mrs. Zhong was partial to Zhong Deping, he hated his eldest brother. When he was about to divide the family property, he saw that Zhong Deping had the marriage of his mother, who was more generous than this family property, in addition to the share of the family property that the three brothers deserved, and his heart suddenly became extremely unbalanced. Over the years, Zhong Deping has been stumbling up.
