Xiao Yanlin's words are a promise and connivance.

He was telling her that she didn't have to be bound by these titles, and that she could be brave and bold herself.

He is also giving her a confidence-

In the future, you don't have to grieve yourself for these ethereal titles.

For Gu Baiyu, this is a promise that is heavier than a thousand catties, and it is also a surging love.

A thousand words, at this moment, only turned into a kiss.

She climbed the man's strong arms with both hands, and Gu Baiyu felt this hot kiss almost longingly.

Even at the end of the departure, it was a little difficult to part.

The expression on Xiao Yanlin's face was a little distressed.

"Yu'er, the doctor said that you should abstain from sex during this time."

Gu Baiyu felt the strangeness of the man after that.

She was a little embarrassed to retreat, and embarrassedly covered her face with the quilt, only revealing a pair of eyes looking at Xiao Yanlin.

She looked innocent, but the fire in Xiao Yan's heart burned all at once, and her voice became hoarse.

"Madam, it's not a good habit to light a fire but not be responsible."

This night, Xiao Yanlin did not disobey the doctor's request, but Gu Baiyu also suffered enough, and when he woke up in the morning, his wrists were still a little sore.

However, the things that were waiting for the future didn't give Gu Baiyu much time to think about this.

She made an appointment with the old housekeeper to meet with the major treasurers who managed the property for the Hou Mansion today.

At this time, the main hall of the Hou Mansion.

The ten shopkeepers were invited by the old butler to the main hall and sat together.

The old butler excused himself to go and wait.

Several people were restless, glaring at each other.

One of them couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Have you all heard the rumors, and I heard that it was the lady who wants to see us?" ”

"I know this, I heard that Madame will be in charge of all the properties of the Hou Mansion in the future, so I asked us to come and meet."

"What kind of temperament do you think Madame is? Wouldn't it be difficult for us? ”

Someone sneered, "If you take care of the business for the Hou Ye on weekdays, how can you be afraid that your wife will embarrass you?" ”

There are also people who have different opinions, "That's not easy to say, we are the people of the Hou Ye in the end, this housewife is here, and we want to manage the property of the Hou Mansion, how can there be any reason not to change?" Maybe a few of us will be replaced? ”

Everyone whispered, some were indifferent, and some were nervous.

However, there are speculations in my heart, what kind of temperament is this lady who is about to meet? ”

At the same time, Gu Ruan Ruan also found Frost Red.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the main hall with me. I heard that the shopkeepers have already arrived. ”

Shuanghong followed behind Gu Ruan Ruan and was silent, and did not stop until outside the main hall.

Gu Ruan Ruan turned his head and urged her: "Hurry up." ”

Shuanghong was unmoved, but asked, "The day before yesterday, you only told me about your ability to manage accounts, and I also saw it, it is indeed a little different, but based on this alone, you want to overpower the housewife, it is impossible." There must be something I don't know about you that you haven't told me, and if you don't tell me, I won't agree to speak for you. ”

Gu Ruan Ruan stomped his feet anxiously, how could this person not speak?

She suppressed her anger and said, "I naturally have my own way! Just follow me in! ”

Shuanghong still shook her head: "No, you tell me first, and also, Mrs. hasn't come here yet, my aunt and I are both subordinates, it's not in accordance with the rules to go in advance, it's better to take advantage of this time for you to tell me what your greatest confidence is, and when the time comes, when Mrs. goes in first, when we appear, I can help you talk." ”

Gu Ruan Ruan glanced in the direction of the main hall, and could faintly hear the sound of someone talking inside.

Thinking that today she must seize this opportunity to share some power from Gu Baiyu's hands, so she gritted her teeth and said vaguely: "Not all of these people in charge are willing to obey Madame's orders, and Madame's subordinates have capable people......

Gu Ruan Ruan said so, saying that Shuanghong understood.

Gu Ruan Ruan definitely wanted to sow discord.

Those shopkeepers have been helping Hou Ye do things for many years, and they are willing to be loyal to Hou Ye wholeheartedly, but they are not necessarily willing to be loyal to Gu Baiyu.

Besides, after Gu Baiyu takes over the Hou Mansion industry, maybe he will also install his own people.

Thinking like this, Frost Red lowered her eyes.

"Aunt Gu, don't blame me for being too talkative, these shopkeepers are all human spirits, you have known them for a short time, some may not know much about them, and if you don't keep them, some people will pretend to cooperate with you, and then they will temporarily regret it, and then it is not easy to say that they will ask for credit in front of Mrs. I know more about those shopkeepers than you do, so why don't you tell me first, who are not convinced by Madame? ”

Frost Red pointed to a corner not far away: "Go over there, lest the lady come over and run into a bad thing." ”

……

When Gu Baiyu went to the main hall, he vaguely heard the sound of talking inside.

Gu Baiyu gave Lin Yu a look, Lingyu cleared her throat and made some movements, and there was silence for a while.

Gu Baiyu went to the main hall slowly.

Seeing Gu Baiyu coming, everyone got up and saluted, Gu Baiyu was not polite to them, and stood up to accept this salute and let them sit down.

"I'm sorry for you to come here today, I think you have also heard the old butler say, in the future, all the properties in the house, as well as your accounts, will pass through me."

Among these shopkeepers, there was a fat, good-looking shopkeeper who said, "Where is Madame, this is all right, we used to be loyal to Lord Hou, and now we are naturally loyal to Lord Hou and Mrs. ”

As soon as his words fell, some people chimed in, but others remained silent, just waiting to see what happened next.

Gu Baiyu nodded and said, "Before I asked the old housekeeper to inform you, you shopkeepers want to bring the shop under your hands and the account books of the industry for nearly half a year, I don't know if you have brought them." ”

"Naturally, I brought it, but this account was shown to the old butler in the past, and the old butler was also proficient in this way. From time to time, you can also give us some advice to help the prince carry forward the industry, but I don't know if Mrs. has brought someone to help look at the accounts? ”

The person who spoke was thin and small, very inconspicuous.

Gu Baiyu looked slightly. The man had two mustaches and a shrewd look in his eyes.

Gu Baiyu knew that someone was questioning the ability of his hands.

She smiled slightly and said, "Look, I can understand some of it, but I am not as proficient as the old housekeeper, but if I am proficient in these, what else do you want the shopkeeper to do?" I'll just look at these things, and I don't have to go to camp like you do. ”

The implication of these words is that you are subordinates and help the Hou Mansion to take care of the accounts, so you have passed this way, and you rely on it for a living, and you have to rely on this ability to earn a living under my hands.

But Gu Baiyu is the master, the master of the Hou Mansion, she doesn't need to understand this, someone will tell her, and someone will help her, why should she condescend to be noble, like them who are shopkeepers, so proficient in everything?

The provocative shopkeeper was like being slapped in the face, and he wanted to refute it, but he couldn't find the words to refute it for a while, and there was only one thought in his heart-

Then Aunt Gu is right, Madam really wants to move them!

Otherwise, how could such a thing be said!

Isn't this a blatant implication that they are just dispensable?

If she doesn't like it, someone more powerful will immediately replace them!
