Here she stood, the open space below the front steps, but everyone used to call it the front yard, paved with slightly larger bricks, and in some places with colorful patterns. There is a fountain in the center, and in the middle of the fountain stands a sculpture of a Greek bath girl, who is holding a water bottle diagonally, and the mouth of the bottle is flowing down. When Du Xiaoxian saw this, she was startled, and her face turned red when she brushed it, she didn't expect that there was a half-naked woman at the front door, so that people came and went to see, she didn't dare to look at it, so she simply lowered her head.

Surrounded by tall and verdant trees, dotted with some flowers and plants, the branches and leaves are sparse, but they also complement each other.

Ah Ling said: "Uncle Xiao told you, your job is to clean the courtyard. ”

"Yes, I did." Du Xiaoxian stood straight with his hands down, his eyes sweeping over the fallen leaves on the ground.

Ah Ling pointed to the road by the lawn and said: "That road is swept once in the morning, and once in the afternoon, it is almost the same, that is, there is a plane tree here, and it is old and sheds its leaves, so you have to pay more attention." Madame doesn't like fallen leaves flying everywhere, and the young lady said several times that she would cut down the tree, but the young master always disagreed. So I had to send someone to sweep non-stop. ”

"Yes, Xiao Bo said it too."

Ah Ling laughed: "Don't keep saying yes, although there are rules here, it doesn't mean that you have to grovel like that." You must be in the old days! ”

Du Xiaoxian blushed, wringed her fingers and didn't speak, she grew up almost alone, rarely had contact with people, and didn't know how to get along with people, when she came, how the second aunt taught her, she did what she did, anyway, listening to the second aunt's words, it wouldn't be wrong.

Ah Ling was about to take her to the utility room to get a broom, when she suddenly saw a black sedan driving in at the gate, she squinted her eyes and took a closer look, left Du Xiaoxian, and hurriedly entered the house.

Du Xiaoxian stood dumbfounded, not knowing who was coming? I don't know if I want to avoid it? Just as she was stunned, the car had already driven to her and stopped, and a young man came out of the car, looking good, but those eyes made her feel a little uncomfortable, the man looked at her twice, and walked into the house indifferently.

She quietly went around to the side door and went in, found Ah Ling and took a broom to sweep the floor, and then paused and asked, "Sister Ah Ling, was that young master just now?" ”

Ah Ling glanced disdainfully into the living room and whispered, "What kind of young master is he?" It's the young master's distant cousin, called Gu Niannan, and he's really a wolf, every time he comes to ask for money, he doesn't say anything, but he also has to say something harsh to make the old man angry, and once he was so angry that he fell ill, and was severely taught by the young master. You will be cleaning outside in the future, and when you see him coming, you should quickly tell Uncle Xiao and Mrs. Xiao to let the master avoid it, do you know? ”

Du Xiaoxian nodded, and suddenly heard Gu Niannan's voice raised, as if he was very angry: "Second aunt, just this money?" Are you supposed to be sending the screamer? The elders and young are orderly, the Gu family should have been taken over by our team, if it weren't for my grandfather...... How can you ...... today?"

Mrs. Gu sat there, but she was unhurried: "Nian Nan, it was indeed your grandfather who gave up the inheritance right back then, and now the Gu family is in charge of us, but after so many years, our family has treated you well, right?" To put it mildly, the money you have taken over the years is more than enough to open another Gu family. ”

"Don't think I don't know, now that Gu's market value has doubled or tripled, what is that money?"

"Gu's market value has doubled two or three times, and it depends on whose hands it is turned over! That's it, Nian Bin is almost off work, you stay for a meal, and talk to him by the way, how about it? ”

Gu Niannan's face was ugly, he glanced at the Western antique clock in the hall, snorted, carefully put the check in the inner pocket of the suit, and left without saying a word.

Ah Ling leaned into Du Xiaoxian's ear and said: "Don't look at Mrs. Bodhisattva's heart, but she is not a soft persimmon, you can't deal with this kind of person without being ruthless." ”

Du Xiaoxian only listened, didn't speak, what she thought was: Gu Niannan is so vicious, he heard the young master's name but walked away, then the young master must be a more powerful person, but she doesn't know what the young master looks like, what if she bumps into it and doesn't avoid it, what should she do?
