Chapter 9: No eyesight
When Mu Chonglan opened her eyes again, it was already three poles in the sun, Xiao Xiantang went out early, and before leaving, she also instructed Zhu Xue, saying that she had already asked the elders to make a decision, so she didn't need to go for another trip today.
It's really not in line with the rules to be so greedy for a few days after entering the door, but thinking about it, it doesn't seem like a word to ask for a decision after this hour, Mu Chonglan had to be secretly distressed, and said in his heart why can't he be so greedy like this tomorrow.
Just when Mu Chonglan was annoyed, there was a knock on the door.
"Miss, the Yan steward of the tea garden is here." It's the voice of Moxiang.
Mu Chonglan frowned when he heard the three words of Yan Steward. "Let him in."
"Yes." Mo Xiang replied, and then whispered something, as if to inform the rules.
The figure outside thanked him, then pushed the door in.
Mu Chonglan raised his eyes and saw that there were people in their forties, green shirts and hats, slender figures, a pair of eagle eyes on their pale faces, and the whole person was full of seven points of sickness, and it was really the Yan Da housekeeper after Xiao Xiantang.
Yan Daguan...... Steward, your surname? ”
Name?
Steward Yan's lips trembled, and he hurriedly shook his heart: "The villain's surname is Yan, and his name is wealthy." ”
"Yama's Yan?"
"No, it's Yan Ruyu's face."
"Oh......" Mu Chonglan stretched his voice very long, and finally rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Then the last two words of your name must be the longevity of the shroud and the material of the coffin." ”
"...... "If Yan Shoucai just felt that this young lady seemed to hate him very much, then now he can be sure that this is not an illusion, but he doesn't know when and where he offended this aunt when he came here for the first time."
In fact, where would he know that the reason why Mu Chonglan was very disgusted with him was entirely because when he was trapped in the backyard in his previous life, he Yan Shoucai was Xiao Xiantang's right-hand man, and in order to prevent her from running out, he almost built a cage and stuffed her in, so Mu Chonglan hated him so much.
After talking as fast as he could, Mu Chonglan found that Yan Shoucai was still the same half-dead as in his memory, and suddenly felt that his behavior was very boring, not to mention the sense of comfort after revenge, so he restrained his emotions. "What are you coming to me for?"
"The villain is here to pick you up."
Hearing this, Mu Chonglan was a little surprised: "Pick me up?" ”
"The young master asked me to pick you up and take you to the outer village."
Yan Shoucai's waist was lowered, Mu Chonglan's heart stabbed, his fingers grabbed the armrest of the seat, and it took a while before he calmed down and asked, "Why?" ”
What did she do wrong again? Is he going to treat her like this?
Mu Chonglan stared at Yan Shoucai, as if what came out of his mouth was not words, but what kind of monster could pop out, but she shouted in her heart that she didn't want to listen, but reason forced her to continue listening.
Yan Shoucai had never noticed Mu Chonglan's strange appearance, but when he heard her inquiry, he explained: "A few days ago, the young master ordered to pick spring tea, and at this time, more than half of the picking, the young master ordered me to take you to the tea garden to have a look, so that I could check the account books." ”
It turned out that I didn't want to send her to the outer village, but to let her check the accounts.
Mu Chonglan patted his forehead, feeling a headache for his stupidity.
But soon she calmed down again.
Why should I panic about this kind of thing?
Isn't it right to be sent to Zhuangzi to suit your own heart?
Or is it ...... What expectations do you still have for Xiao Xiantang?
No, no, she definitely can't afford to repeat the same mistakes.
"That kind of thing, you can do it yourself." Mu Chonglan said casually.
Yan Shoucai's face was silent, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and his voice repeated coldly: "The young master has ordered." ”
"......" Mu Chonglan choked, she didn't expect the other party to insist, the reason why she asked him to watch it was because she thought that since Xiao Xiantang would reuse this person in the future, this person must be loyal, and it didn't matter if he handed over the accounts of the tea garden to him for checking, but he didn't expect him to be so loyal, taking Xiao Xiantang's words as a holy decree, and planning to force himself to check the accounts.
Secretly making a blank slate, Mu Chonglan decided not to dwell on this matter, not to mention that she didn't have a good impression of the Xiao family, and going to Xiao Xiantang's tea garden to see it was just enough to avoid those people. "Okay, spare the car."
"Yes." Yan Shoucai went out in response.
Mu Chonglan also got up, called Qinghe, and when she walked to the courtyard, she saw Mo Xiang who was holding a knife to cut the branches, remembering what she was talking to Yan Shoucai just now, and frowned: "You come along." ”
Mo Xiang looked up, very surprised, but it was only a momentary thing, and soon she lowered her head again, patting the sawdust on her body to follow.
Qinghe saw that Mu Chonglan specially shouted Mo Xiang, his face was a little dark, but he couldn't say anything, but he just went around to the other side, squeezed the Mo Xiang who wanted to follow, and helped Mu Chonglan leave.
Mo Xiang glanced up at her, lowered her head again, and silently followed.
Xiao Xiantang's tea garden is on the outskirts of the city, and it takes about an hour from the Xiao family's main house to speed up the horse, and Mu Chonglan's carriage is a little slower, and it has not been repaired halfway, so it has not been delayed for too long.
When he arrived at Zhuangzi and rested for a while, Yan Shoucai took the account books.
Mu Chonglan looked at the account book in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh a little, at this time in his previous life, he should have been fighting with Tan Susu for the affairs of the family, how could he be so leisurely?
"You made the account?"
"Yes." Yan Shoucai thought for a moment after speaking, and then added: "The young lady can see what's wrong?" ”
"Not really." Mu Chonglan put down the account book in his hand, the income on this Zhuangzi does not look much, but there is no deficit, regardless of the amount of income and expenditure, judging from the books alone, I am afraid it is better than that of the Xiao family's main house.
It's no wonder that he gave up the key to his own house, Xiao Xiantang didn't let himself take it back, because he already knew that the Xiao family was a hole that couldn't be plugged, and something would happen sooner or later, and his current tea garden seemed to be a small fight, who could say for sure whether it would become the second Xiao family in the future?
also blamed himself for having no eyesight in his previous life, and he couldn't look down on a small Zhuangzi, and in the end he just pasted his dowry into eighty or ninety percent.
Xiao ...... Why hasn't my husband come back yet? ”
Yan Shoucai heard Mu Chonglan's words, and actually looked at her a little strangely, and said, "The young master went to Dadu, and it will take more than a month to come back." ”
"......" Mu Chonglan was stunned for a moment, and understood that the reason why Yan Shoucai looked at herself like that was because it was strange that Xiao Xiantang didn't tell herself about going out, and then she thought that the reason why Xiao Xiantang didn't tell herself might be because she overslept today, and her face was hot. I said, why haven't you seen you for a day...... Wait, where did you say he went?! ”
