Chapter 59 Chapter 52 Headache

One by one, the stewards stepped forward to reply, not to mention that they would have to deal with the matters that each of them had told them in the future, that is, just remembering the names of these people was enough for Mengyu to have a headache.

Under the flickering candlelight, Mengyu flipped through the names of the stewards he had taken from his wife, and corresponded to the faces he remembered one by one. Apricot and Momo waited by the side, occasionally pointing to a person's name and asking them if they had ever remembered a little. The three of them reminisced and discussed repeatedly, and they all gradually became tired. Mengyu shook her somewhat cloudy head, blinked, and continued to look at the roster.

Peach, who was sitting with Xing'er next to her, couldn't resist the temptation of Zhou Gong at this moment, and still got off her young lady and fell asleep on the table. Xing'er was a little worried, what she was most afraid of was that the third lady would repeat the pain of her illness when she was eight years old because she didn't have enough rest. After thinking about it again, Xing'er still stepped forward to interrupt the dream and said, "Miss, it's already late, it's better to go to bed early, it's not too late to watch tomorrow." ”

Mengyu turned her stiff neck and looked out the window at the starry night sky, the cold air of the night seeping through the window. Looking at the roster in his hand helplessly, Mengyu sighed and closed it gently: "There are so many people, it's quite good to remember what their names are, where can you care about what they do." If there is any joke tomorrow, I am afraid that the old lady and my mother will be disappointed in me! ”

"Miss, let's take our time, I think the old lady and the wife can still understand." Apricot comforted.

Mengyu stood up and found Tao'er who was already asleep next to her, and couldn't help but smile: "It's also hard for you two to stay with me so late." Wake up Tao'er and go back to sleep, the night is cold, be careful of the wind cold. ”

"It's right to serve Miss, this damn peach, dare to sleep secretly, see that I don't pick her skin." As she spoke, Xing'er walked up to Peach'er, picked up Peach's ear, and scolded with a smile: "Lazy pig, don't get up yet, if you sleep again, Miss will sell you!" ”

The sleepy peach only felt that her ears hurt, and when she suddenly opened her eyes, she saw her young lady's smiling expression. Tao'er realized that she had accidentally fallen asleep, and was suddenly a little ashamed: "Miss......" Tao'er wringed her fingers uneasily.

"Okay, Xing'er is messing around with you, you two go to sleep." As she spoke, Dream Yu walked towards the bed that had called her for a long time.

Xing'er pushed Tao'er: "You go to sleep first, I'll wait for Miss to come to sleep." After saying that, he followed the dream language.

Lying on the soft big bed, even though Mengyu was already feeling quite tired, he closed his eyes, his mind was full of the information on the roster, and he didn't feel sleepy at all. When she was about to fall asleep in a hazy state, Xing'er had already knocked on the door: "Miss, it's time to get up, I'm going to the conference hall today." ”

The dream language with a cloudy head opened her eyes suddenly, well, it's time for her to accept her fate, I'm afraid that from now on there will be no lazy sleep to sleep.

After the maids waited for Mengyu to freshen up, Zhao Tian's family combed a completely different bun from the past according to Mengyu's instructions. On weekdays, the third lady is young and beautiful, so she naturally needs to be dignified and cute, and now that she is holding the middle feed in the house, of course, she can't let others say that she is still a little girl.

With apricots, peaches, and the four second-class maids of the Cherry Blossom Pavilion, Mengyu and his party came to the conference hall in a majestic manner. The people who had been talking to each other stopped. Mengyu sat down in the hall, glanced at the stewards standing below, and found that Chief Manager Lin Anlin, who was not present yesterday because he sent the doctor back, was also among them. Although he has the highest position, his attitude is much more respectful than others.

"Manager Lin is also here, come on, move a chair and let Manager Lin sit down." As soon as Mengyu said this, someone moved a stool outside the door.

"The old slave doesn't dare, just stand still." Mr. Lin humbly excused himself.

"Manager Lin doesn't have to be polite, your contribution to my Lin Mansion, not to mention juniors like Mengyu, even the old lady, you are all in your eyes and in your heart. Since Dream Whisper tells you to sit down, you just sit down peacefully. Mengyu is young, and many things may not be well considered, wait, if Mengyu is not handled properly, please ask Mr. Lin to give him advice in person. ”

"The third young lady is polite, and the old slave is better than obeying his fate." Mr. Lin was neither humble nor arrogant, and sat upright on the chair.

"You don't have to be restrained, let's talk about it." I don't know if they report on their daily work.

Everyone looked at each other, but they would not be the first to come forward and reply. Mr. Bai turned around slightly and glanced at a steward in the lower left. The steward hesitated for a moment and stood up from the crowd: "If you return to the third lady, the railings in the garden need to be repaired again, and the paint on them has fallen, and the small pavilion in a certain place has also been struck by lightning by chance, causing the tiles on the roof of the pavilion to be broken. ”

This person, she remembers, is Cui Quan, who is in charge of garden affairs. Mengyu thought for a moment and said: "The railings in the garden are indeed unsightly, destroying the layout of the entire garden, and it is time to repaint." Xing'er, hand the pair of cards to Steward Cui. The corners of the second white manager's mouth next to him rose slightly, and sure enough, the third lady was here to fish and mix.

Steward Cui smiled and stepped forward to take away the pair of cards that could be redeemed, but he heard Mengyu continue: "I agree to the matter of lacquering." It's inconvenient for me to see those workers, so I just ask Steward Cui to make an account and send it to me for review. It must be remembered clearly which paint is used, how much the paint costs, what the workers are called, how many people, and how much the wages are settled. Also, as far as I know, the small pavilion is located in the North Garden, where it has been abandoned for a long time, and if the pavilion is only repaired, it will be a bit of a waste of silver. I'm afraid that the lightning strike didn't happen recently, and since my mother didn't have such plans, I didn't have to deal with it. ”

Steward Cui was stunned, and glanced back at the second manager of Bai, but found that the second manager of Bai, who was originally smiling, was now just lowering his head thoughtfully. Steward Cui saw that no one gave him ideas, so he stubbornly said: "The villain has never done such accounts, and when his wife was in charge of the middle of the house in the past, she always reported the required expenses to the accounting room. ”

"Just because you haven't done it doesn't mean you won't have to do it in the future. If you want to listen to my wife, don't you have to listen to me?! If you can't do it, I'm sure there are still many capable people in the house who can do the job. ”

"Yes, the villain remembers the teachings of the third lady."

Mengyu glanced at Chief Lin who was sitting next to him, and didn't seem to have any opinion on this.

"Miss Three, there are a lot of purchases in the big kitchen, and the dishes are different every day. Do I need to register each of them? Bai Erguan stepped forward and asked.

This second white manager, in fact, can be regarded as having some origins. When his father was still alive, he was the chief manager appointed by Mrs. Lin, and he was also very serious about dealing with people. Mr. Bai is more than half a hundred years old before he got this son, and he is very happy, so he has loved him since he was a child. Since Mr. Xiaobai entered the Lin Mansion, he hid under the protection of his father and rose to the top one after another. There are more flattering people around me, and when I listen to more, my heart will naturally become wild. Although on the surface, he is as cautious as his father, but secretly, such trivial things as accepting bribes and getting some oil and water naturally happen often. The old lady has also heard something about this. It's just that for the sake of his father's dedication to the Lin Mansion, and it is not a particularly big thing, he was let go.

"Second Manager Bai, I don't know when, you have begun to meddle in the affairs of the big kitchen?" Don't think that those small movements, Dream Words didn't find out. A truly smart person should stand still when the situation is uncertain.

"This ......, the third lady laughed, the little one is the second manager of the Lin Mansion, of course, everything needs to be cared about." The second manager of Bai smiled slightly embarrassed, he didn't expect the third lady to speak so directly, and he didn't give him any affection at all, but he returned to normal in an instant.

"The Zhao family." Mengyu looked at the big kitchen steward who was the first to introduce himself yesterday and said.

"The slave is here, I don't know what the third lady has to order?" I didn't expect the second manager Bai to use her errand as a cover, isn't this harmful to her? Now that he has been embarrassed by the third lady, she doesn't dare to hold it up.
