Chapter Ninety-Four—Walking in the Middle of the Night?

You must know that in the previous life, Mrs. Bai made it difficult for this daughter-in-law who did not cooperate with her. Just after Duan Qingming got married for the first time, she pushed all the housework to this new bride.

Therefore, Duan Qingming in the previous life not only managed the huge dowry, but also all the properties of Ning'an Baifu. At that time, she was also at a loss because of the difficulties of the shopkeepers. Fortunately, Duan Qingming adapted quickly, and it only took less than half a year to quickly grow into a qualified housekeeper!

Since then, the rapid rise of Ning'an Baifu has been inseparable from Duan Qingming's efforts. You must know that such a huge family business, without a wise and decisive leader, it is impossible to prosper!

And Duan Qingming, as early as that time, developed the habit of dealing with all kinds of stewards and businessmen, and first shocked everyone between words and deeds!

Inside, there was silence. Duan Qingming slowly took a sip of tea and spoke majestically:

"You have worked hard for a year to keep my warehouse profitable, which is really indispensable. Here, on behalf of my father, I would like to thank you as well! ”

The stewards hurriedly spoke, but they didn't dare!

Originally, in everyone's hearts, this eldest lady of Duanfu was just a frolicking child, coming here and going through the motions. But now, Duan Qingming's words completely changed their minds!

Suddenly, a thought surged up in everyone's hearts at the same time - that is, the eldest lady of the main family must not be easy to fool!

Seeing it, it was getting late. At that time, the steward of Zhuangzi came to inform Duan Qingming, saying that the meal was also ready.

Duan Qingming was in charge, and after everyone had eaten the meal, he ordered the steward of the village and Mama Ning to start arranging together, and the nearest shopkeeper went back to rest, and those who were a little far away stayed in the village.

After arranging the affairs of the shopkeepers, Duan Qingming asked Xia Cao'er to summon Tie Feng, who was responsible for the safety of the female dependents, and after discussing the defense of the night with him, he repeatedly told him to do a good job of keeping vigil, in case people with ill intentions would take advantage of it.

After dinner, Duan Qingming had a few words with the shopkeepers, and asked them to report this year's harvest early tomorrow morning.

Since Duan Qingming got out of the car, until the order was given before and after the meal. All the stewards were cautious and thoughtful, wanting to see what kind of means this eldest lady who was only ten years old. Seeing that she arranged various affairs clearly and dealt with the questions and answers of the shopkeepers in an orderly manner, everyone began to admire her!

When everything was settled, it was already the first half of the night!

That night, it was moonless. There was silence on the Zhuangzi, and only the sound of a dog barking in the distance could be faintly heard.

Duan Qingming has always had the habit of choosing a shop, so it is difficult to fall asleep when tossing and turning in bed.

Hearing Duan Qingming turning the world upside down on the bed. Xia Cao'er, who was in charge of the vigil, sat up and asked in a low voice:

"Miss, can't you sleep?"

Duan Qingming smiled bitterly:

"yes, I can't sleep after changing the bed!"

Xia Cao'er laughed "eating":

"I knew that Miss couldn't sleep when she changed the bed, so I took Xiaohe's vigil!"

It was Xiaohe who was supposed to be in charge of the vigil tonight, but Xia Cao'er knew that Duan Qingming would not be able to sleep, so she took the initiative to accompany her!

Duan Qingming breathed sluggishly, and scolded with a smile:

"Don't think I don't know, you have the same habits as me, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep tonight, right, that's why you asked for this messenger?"

When Xia Cao'er heard this, she had a typical happy expression of "getting cheap and selling well", and laughed "hehe":

"Those who know me, Miss also!"

Since neither of them could sleep, they just had a talking companion. Duan Qingming also didn't let Xia Cao'er light the lamp, so as not to disturb others. So, in the darkness, two of the master and the servant, one lying on the footrest, and the other on the bed, began to talk with each other.

It wasn't until the second half of the night that Duan Qingming vaguely felt sleepy, and when she looked at Xia Cao'er again, she had already slept to death!

However, at this moment, a loud voice was suddenly heard from outside the house:

"It's water, it's water!"

At first, it was just a shout of one person, and then it became a shout of two people! Then, the lights in the Zhuangzi were all lit up, and countless people who were alarmed hurriedly put on their clothes and ran out!

Right now, winter is coming. In the Zhuangzi, a large amount of hay and the like are stored, at this time, the weather is dry and irritable, once the water is gone, the consequences are unimaginable!

Xia Cao'er was the first to wake up, and she sat up as soon as she was startled. yelled:

"It's out of water...... Where? Where? ”

In the dark, Duan Qingming's voice came steadily:

"Light the lights first!"

Xia Cao'er lit the lamp and saw that Duan Qingming had already sat up. She hurriedly found a piece of clothing to help Duan Qingming drape it, and after the two of them picked it up a little, they both walked out of the door!

Outside, the lights are bright. Countless pairs of eyes were looking in the direction of the main house, and it wasn't until Duan Qingming came out that everyone sighed softly!

Duan Qingming walked down the steps, looked at the people in the courtyard, and frowned slightly!

The steward in Zhuangzi was a Xu Bo who was about forty years old, and at this time, when he saw that his master was up, he hurriedly stepped forward to make amends:

"Miss......"

You must know that Uncle Xu has been in charge of this Zhuangzi for more than ten years, and things like walking on the water have never happened. And this young master, who has just arrived, doesn't know how scared he is!

Uncle Xu's heart was very delicate at this time, he was glad that the other party was not a strict Aunt Liu, but he was also a little weak about his dereliction of duty! Therefore, half of this gift is lost, and I don't know how to say the following words!

However, a faint voice came from overhead:

"No excuses, let's see what's going on first!"

The voice was light and shallow, but with a certain irreversible edge, the steward Xu Bo was clever in his heart, and he quickly stood up straight:

"Yes!"

Mama Ning walked over quickly, she grabbed Duan Qingming's hand, and asked:

"Little Miss, are you alright?"

When the young lady first came to Zhuangzi, someone dared to make trouble in secret, if she knew which one was the moth, she had to break his legs!

Duan Qingming patted Mama Ning's hand soothingly, and shook her head slightly:

"I'm fine!"

As he spoke, Tie Feng also walked over. After he heard the call to walk the water, he led the guards to search around before he came to surrender to Duan Qingming. At this time, he blocked everyone's sight with his body, and after bowing to Duan Qingming, he whispered:

"Miss, when the guards were patrolling the night, they didn't find anyone. However, after the phrase 'walk the water' just now, our people rushed over and found this near the main house! ”

Tie Feng opened his hand, and in the palm of his hand, there was a delicate fire fold!

Duan Qingming looked at the fire fold, and the dark light in her eyes flashed and flashed. Then he said in a voice that only two people could hear:

"Our people, aren't they hurt?"

Tie Feng shook his head:

"We didn't even find each other!"

Duan Qingming frowned, and glanced at Mama Ning lightly, Mama Ning understood, and said to Uncle Xu, the steward who was standing farther away:

"The eldest lady said, I don't know who is making this kind of joke and disturbing everyone's rest. Now, the guards have found out that this matter is completely unfounded, now, let everyone go back and rest! ”

When the steward heard this, he immediately dismissed the people. When everyone heard that it was fine, they breathed a sigh of relief and went back to the house to rest!

All the people left, except for Duan Qingming and his party, only Xu Bo was left, still standing there, seemingly at a loss! Duan Qingming smiled at Uncle Xu:

"Uncle Xu, now that it has been found out to be a false alarm, you and all the people in charge should go back and rest!"

Several other stewards who lived in Zhuangzi were also shocked, and when they heard Duan Qingming's words at this time, they all yawned and went back to the house to rest!

Uncle Xu walked at the end, he looked at Duan Qingming, then looked at Tie Feng with a serious face, and gave Duan Qingming a salute, and then left step by step!
