Chapter Twenty-Nine: Subordinates Help Keep an Eye on Their Wife
"Phewβ"
As the sun set, the carriage flashed, and the central figure of public opinion of Longen Rice Industry finally appeared at the door of the store again after being invisible for many days.
"Look, I'll just say, the young lady is just a bitter summer, if she is pregnant, can she still eat popsicles like this?" Worker No. 1 muttered quietly.
Xiao Gong No. 2 shook his head thoughtfully, but had a different opinion: "That's not necessarily, you see, the young lady's abdomen has risen slightly. β
"Aren't you idle here and have nothing to chew on the root of your tongue, you two don't hurry up and go to work!" The little workers covered their heads and walked away, Uncle Li put away his fierce face, turned around and said good-naturedly: "Young lady, you are finally here." β
Sanshui also hurriedly put down the work in his hand and greeted him doglegs: "Young lady, why didn't you ask me to go back to pick you up in advance?" β
"Well...... she ate a Xiaoice stick, held a small parasol, and her eyes drifted to the store, as if she inadvertently asked, "What about you young masters?" Isn't it? β
"At noon, the young master went to the outside of the city to do errands, saying that he would not come back in the afternoon."
"That's good."
"Huh?" Did he hear something wrong? Don't newlyweds want to see each other so soon?
"Ahem, it's fine." accidentally said her heart, then she had to seize the opportunity to take advantage of his absence and get down to business!
Now that the first-level alert state has been lifted, she strode into the store with the posture of a proprietress: "Uncle Li, what about the guys who were arranged last time?" You tell everyone to gather in the backyard. β
"Yes, young lady!"
Well? Why is there a rattan chair like a swing placed next to the well, and there are two horizontal poles hanging vertically, I didn't seem to see this thing last time. She pointed and asked, "What is this?" β
"Young lady, this is a hanging scale, people can sit directly on the chair, and it is used to weigh themselves."
"What a coincidence! That'll be right for later! "I thought you all used scales to weigh yourself." β
"Young lady, it's not so good." Li Shuci laughed and explained, "This is what the young master told us to carry out of the warehouse before leaving today, saying that it might be used in the afternoon, and we were still confused at the time." It turned out to be specially prepared for you, young lady, you are really tacit and affectionate. β
"Heh... Hehe......" She could only sneer awkwardly, and he guessed that she would show up while he was away. Could it be that this bureau was deliberately laid out for her, right?
Between the awkward smiles, the seven guys had already assembled in an orderly manner and lined up in the backyard.
"Everyone now takes turns weighing themselves. Sanshui, you can help record it. β
"Yes!"
"Hey, wait, there's one more person!" Uncle Fan came out of the account room, lifted the curtain and dragged Uncle Cai out again, "Hurry up, the young master has ordered it last time." β
ββ¦β¦ Hum! Uncle Cai looked unconvinced, glanced at Hua Mo, reluctantly moved to the edge of the team, and said angrily, "The old man looks at the young master's face, and that's it!" β
I had never seen the old man so hard-mouthed, Hua Mo held back a smile, and deliberately didn't look at him: "Okay, then let's officially start!" β
After a few moments, Sanshui presented the results.
Hua Mo divided each group of two according to the data and the amount of food, and instructed: "In the next month, Uncle Fan will arrange three meals a day for everyone." Two people in the same group eat and consume as much as possible, and we weigh ourselves once a week. β
"Yes!"
"In addition to three meals, don't eat secretly when you are hungry, Uncle Fan will try his best to arrange it for everyone this month. I really can't help but eat it, and I must remember to report to Uncle Fan. β
"Yes!"
"Okay, let's get busy! Thank you! β
After the meeting ended, everyone left the courtyard, and Xiao Gong No. 5 suppressed his voice and said, "Do you think that the young lady is similar to the young master's style?" Even that stance is the same! β
Ah Pang nodded like garlic: "This is called husband and wife." That's why people are destined to get married. β
"Yes, the young lady looks like a little girl, I didn't expect things to be arranged so neatly and politely." Number 6 echoed.
"Where did she come from?" Although Uncle Cai was passing by, he simply scoffed at their views, and couldn't help but warn a few words, "You are too young to look at people, and you don't know how to distinguish between good and evil." Now people are just doing a lot of useless fun, so you just wait to see the show. β
Hua Mo, who was standing not far away, had a good chat with Uncle Fan, but suddenly felt as if his backbone had been poked, and he couldn't help but shiver and sneezed.
"Young lady, what's wrong with you? Feeling cold? "Although the sun in this midsummer afternoon is not scorching, it still has residual warmth.
"It's not cold...... Could it be that someone says bad things about me? Ha ha. She shrunk her nose, where was she talking about?
"By the way, Uncle Fan, I'm bothering you this time. I don't necessarily come to the store every day after that, if you have something urgent but it's not convenient to go to Hefu in the future, you can ask Sanshui to give me a message. β
"Okay young lady. It's almost time to get out of work, let Sanshui send you back? β
"Hmm...... There's another thing......" she pointed to the hanging scale, a little embarrassed to speak, "That scale, is there any extra in the store?" β
ββ¦β¦ Ha? β
The moon is as bright as water, the lights of thousands of homes are gradually extinguished, and the good city is peaceful.
After a busy day, He Qingxian stepped into the garden and passed by his original room. Well, there is no light, it seems that a certain flower has slept. After confirming with confidence, I went back to the temporary wing.
He pushed the door in, walked straight to the table and poured a cup of tea, and the man in black behind him skillfully entered the room and closed the door gently.
"Young Master." Speechless, he said, "The young lady went back to her room early today to rest. β
"Hmm." He turned around and looked, lifted the lid and scraped off the tea foam on the water, and said lightly, "And then?" What did she do today? β
"In the morning, the young lady said hello to the old lady as usual, and then went back to the room to make up for sleep."
"Huh." It's really as always, lazy!
ββ¦β¦ At noon, after the young lady had eaten, she lay down and read a book for a while. β
"......" lay down as soon as he finished eating, and his stomach was not uncomfortable?
"Then, as you expected, the young lady heard Xiaolan say that after we went out to run errands, she would go back to the rice shop in the afternoon."
"Huh." Sure enough, virtue! If he hadn't arranged it this way, I don't know how long she would have been hiding in the house as an ostrich.
"Then, the young lady discussed with Uncle Fan and arranged the matter of konjac rice."
"Hmm." It sounds decent, and that's what it sounds like.
In the evening, the young lady returned home, saying that she was in a better mood today and wanted to add food to everyone. She wanted to go into the kitchen and cook [salted fish and eggplant casserole] by hand, which according to her was a hard dish, but then failed. β
"......" He Qingxian raised his eyebrows, why?
"I forgot that salted fish tastes good enough, and I put too much salt."
ββ¦β¦β
"Then she was in a bad mood because of this, so she went to bed early." After reporting the day's work, he was speechless, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Since the young master and the young lady slept in separate rooms, his job content changed from protecting the safety of the young master of the He family to at least sixteen hours a day to secretly observe the young lady's every move of the He family, and reported it to the young master at night.
According to what the young master said, this is timely protection, but he always feels that something is strange, and occasionally wonders if it is because of his improper mental skills that he has not fully appreciated the young master's good intentions?
"Okay, I've worked hard for you, you can go back." It sounds like she's having a good day, and she's finally making a little contribution.
"Young master, there is one more thing." Speechless looks a bit difficult. "Today, when the young lady was working at the rice shop, I asked Uncle Fan if there was one more hanging scale in the store."
Since the young master has to tell him about the big and small things, he can't tell whether this is big or small? It's kind of funny anyway.
"Uncle Fan said that this is it, and then the young lady looks a little lost."
ββ¦β¦ Okay, I got it. β
Bang bang - bang -
Annoying, who renovated upstairs early in the morning?
Bang bang - bang -
She narrowed her sleepy eyes, and the sound seemed to come from outside the room.
"Xiaolan...... Xiaolan ......"
No one answered her.
Now she was completely awake, got out of bed irritably, didn't have time to put on her shoes, and ran to open the door.
"Young lady, you're awake!"
"Young lady, look!"
A group of little maidens were outside her room, excitedly pointing to the newly completed wooden swing and shouting.
This is...... Did it early this morning? Obviously, when she moved a small stool out to look at the stars last night, there was no such thing in the yard.
"Young lady." Yijin put away his tools, walked up to Huamo, and looked at her barefoot in embarrassment, "Why don't you go back to the room and put on your shoes first, and come out to try it?" β
"Huh?" She embarrassedly pulled her robe over and covered her feet, "Hehe, let, let them try first, I can play later." β
"This is what the young master told us to do last night, you must be the first to try."
Huh? How did that nasty know she wanted to get the hanging scales back yesterday and play on the swing?
"It's so romantic, young lady! It's so sweet! β
"Young lady, young master is so good to you!"
"Young lady, you go up and try it, we will push you behind your back."
The envy of the maids shouted that her ears were red, and she pretended to be fierce and threw down the sentence "troublesome", then turned back to the room and closed the door.
What is this? Do you apologize? No one shows up, no sincerity at all, hum!
She walked to the bedside, pulled out the baggage underneath, and looked at the hourglass with a solemn expression. After returning from the study that day, a whole week passed, and she didn't touch it again.
There are three chances left. She didn't know what else she could do back in time.
Can we really find a way back to modern times?
Will Zhou Xuan's indifferent child agree to help her find someone?
If it turns out that He Tianze is really He Qingxian, or not, what can she do?
