Although Mrs. Yu said sincerely, Yu Wanyao still didn't believe it in her heart, and when she heard this, she secretly sighed in her heart.

However, he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he hurriedly pulled Yu Shaoyuan up and said, "Thank you, mother." ”

"Sit down and eat."

Mrs. Yu said lightly: "I said that I would treat you as my own, so I don't have to be so polite." ”

Yu Wanning looked at Yu Wanyao's face, and guessed some of her thoughts in her heart, but she just didn't say anything.

It was Yu Shaoting, who pursed the corners of his mouth and rolled his eyes again.

Mrs. Yu really didn't see it, and Yu Wanning pretended not to see it.

After lunch, when he returned to the Begonia Courtyard, Zhao Qi had already taken the people from the Grange and waited at the gate of the courtyard.

Yu Wanning looked at it deliberately, and saw that although Qi Dalong was thin and had a dark complexion, he was obviously loyal between his eyebrows.

Although the coarse cloth clothes were very old, the pulp was very clean, and they were neatly dressed, not sloppy and vulgar at all, and the whole person looked in good spirits.

Moreover, his eyes are upright and calm, at least from the point of view of his face, he is indeed a loyal and honest person as Zhao Qi said.

After returning to the room, Yu Wanning asked Mo Li to sit.

"I've heard Steward Zhao talk about it, your name is Qi Dalong, right? Sit down and talk. ”

Yu Wanning looked at Qi Dalong and said with a smile.

"The minions don't dare."

The first time Qi Dalong came to the General's Mansion, and it was the first time he met the daughter of the General's Mansion, and he was a little nervous for a while.

Hearing that Yu Wanning had given him a seat, he hurriedly excused himself.

"Miss told you to sit, so you can sit down."

Zhao Qi said on the side, Qi Dalong hesitated for a moment, and then leaned over and sat on the edge of the round stool that Xuejing had moved to him, and at the same time bowed his head and thanked him.

"This Mo pear, usually a very meticulous person, what's wrong today?"

Yu Wanning pursed her lips and smiled: "I said give the seat, will you just move a stool?" ”

"Huh? Well, it's the slave who is careless. ”

Mo Li was a little at a loss, and then reluctantly moved a round stool next to Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi: "......"

Aside from the last bathing incident, he really couldn't remember when he had offended this Murray girl.

Of course, he didn't know that it was Yu Wanning who made fun of Mo Li and jokingly said that he wanted to marry Mo Li to him, which annoyed Mo Li a little.

"Sit down." Yu Wanning said with a smile.

Because Qi Dalong sat down, it was inconvenient for Zhao Qi to stand alone, so he also sat down.

"I heard Steward Zhao say, are you the first batch of old people to come after Daddy received the Grange?" Yu Wanning asked Qi Dalong.

"Miss Huisan, yes."

Qi Dalong replied respectfully: "When the slave was sixteen years old, the village was hit by the plague, and the family went to the slave and a young nephew, and because the local bullies occupied the field, the slave was desperate, and he thought of taking his nephew into the city to beg for a living, but just in time to catch up with the need for manpower in the grange of the general's mansion, the servant sold himself into the grange, at that time only to give our uncle and nephew a place to live and eat, and the result was so many years. ”

"Oh, now your nephew should be older, right? You are not married yet? ”

Yu Wanning took the tea poured by the pear and asked.

"Nope."

When Qi Dalong heard this, his dark face suddenly turned slightly red: "The slave is in the slave state, unless the master assigns it, it is extremely difficult to marry a wife, plus there is a nephew who drags him down, and no one is willing to look at the slave more." ”

He paused for a moment and said: "Thanks to the third lady for asking about my nephew, my nephew is fifteen years old this year, because of his excellent results in the Daoist exam two years ago, the government has been admitted to the Guozijian, so he is fortunate to be able to enter the Guozijian to study, and he is now preparing for this year's autumn." ”

Speaking of his nephew, Qi Dalong's face was a little proud, it seemed that he must be a young man with good academics.

Think of your own brother......

Yu Wanning could only sigh......

However, as Qi Dalong spoke, a strange feeling surged in his heart.

was asked by an eight-year-old girl if she was married, how strange she thought, even if the other party was the daughter of the master's family, it was still strange.

But I just thought about it in my heart, although Qi Dalong was loyal, he was not a stupid person, so he naturally wouldn't show it.

However, due to his good knowledge in this life, Yu Wanning naturally had a keen eye, and he could see at a glance what Qi Dalong was thinking.

She sighed helplessly in her heart, no way, who made her so "small" now.

It's not strange that people think it's weird, and in the future, they can only rely on their own ability to handle affairs, so that a group of subordinate minions can surrender.

So he smiled casually: "It's okay, I will be the steward of the grange in the future, and I can be regarded as having an identity, if the errand is done well, I will pay attention to it, and choose a good match for you in the old girl ring in the house." ”

"The slave thanked Miss first."

When Qi Dalong came, he had already heard Zhao Qi say that the money steward and his wife were bad, and now he recommended himself to be the steward of the grange.

Although he is still a minion, who doesn't want to go further, plus he has been in the Grange for many years and is very familiar with the affairs of the Grange, so he will not refuse.

only sincerely promised: "The third lady just rest assured, the slave will do his best, and he will never live up to the grace of the third lady's appreciation." ”

After he said that, he took out two pieces of paper from his cuff and handed them to Xue Jing, who passed on to Yu Wanning.

"Here is a list of the current farm tools and cattle in the Grange, as well as all the daily objects, please take a look at the third lady."

"Well, it looks like you're really careful."

Yu Wanning browsed the list in his hand, and said lightly: "But I'm not afraid of you cheating, after all, I'm not blind, your predecessor Qian Steward dared to hide from his master and embezzle property, and I was the first to see the clues, if you dare to learn from him, I can dispose of you at any time, so I don't care here, it's just that Steward Zhao is sponsoring you, I just hope that you will do things well and don't sweep his face." ”

"Yes."

Qi Dalong nodded, bowed to Zhao Qi again, and said, "The slave will never have a place to hide from his master, and he will never dare to bear the grace of Steward Zhao's recommendation." ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Qi only nodded slightly, and didn't say much.

"Tell me more, do you need to add anything more?"

Yu Wanning put down the list in his hand and asked.

"Not needed right now."

Qi Dalong shook his head and said: "The things in the grange are basically enough, but two of them are broken, but they don't matter, they can still be used if they are repaired, and it just so happens that the slaves will also repair them, so there is no need to ask outsiders to add additional expenses, but now there is another problem, that is, in the winter of last year, the money manager was greedy for a few dollars, and the forage that was originally prepared for the cattle to spend the winter was missing."

So a winter, the cattle have not eaten a day, very thin, now urgently need to supplement some good forage, so that the cattle can recover as soon as possible, because there is really no old storage in the grange, can only go out to buy, but this season, forage is no longer worthless, but also more expensive than summer and autumn. ”
