Wen Qingzhu turned his face to Peony and ordered: "You see when Steward Tian is free, you can go over at any time, the first year or two may be a little harder." ”

"The slave obeys." Peony doesn't feel hard.

She has seen acupuncture that can treat rheumatism, but the acupuncture that can completely cure it is only available to her young lady.

Tian Chong didn't know what Wen Qingzhu meant, so he made a choice on the spot.

He lifted the corner of his clothes and gave Wen Qingzhu a kneeling salute. "Thank you, Miss Seven."

"The steward of the field clears up." Wen Qingzhu was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and he got up to help him up.

After chatting with him about the specific situation of Tian Pozi, Wen Qingzhu gave him some suggestions.

Tian Chong wanted to take the peony to Zhuangzi's side, and Wen Qingzhu naturally agreed.

After Tian Chong left with the peony, Lu Tao couldn't help asking, "Didn't Miss say that Steward Tian is a very cautious person?" ”

Looking out the door, Wen Qingzhu replied: "He is indeed a very cautious person, although he has shown his attitude, but it can only show that he is willing to help me, and he can't be completely used by me." ”

Green Tao was surprised: "Isn't this okay?" ”

Wen Qingzhu sighed: "This is the difference between him and Cao Yu. ”

It is difficult for Tian Chong to identify a person, but once he does, there is almost no risk of defection.

Over there in the West Courtyard, Aunt Wu has been recuperating.

But she secretly instructed Wen Qinglan to mess around from the beginning, to the current various requests to provoke, dragging Aunt Yue can't leave the West Courtyard at all.

Occasionally, Uncle Wen came to Yanyuan, but Aunt Yue was even more dragged back, and she couldn't leave if she wanted to.

Yan Yuan's affairs have completely fallen on Wen Qingzhu's side.

After the last reward, the other stewards heard about it and were envious.

Five taels of gold is fifty taels of silver, and they can't earn so much money in a year of hard work.

These days, Aunt Wu and Aunt Yue have been busy fighting, and Yan Yuan's control has been loosened a little.

Mother Ye followed the Lu family's housekeeper before, and her methods were quite powerful.

When she noticed that the stewards were beginning to be lazy, she immediately sent for them.

Wen Qingzhu stopped Mother Ye.

"Miss, it's almost time for the old lady's birthday banquet, if something happens, we can't afford the anger of Fushoutang!" Mother Ye was anxious.

"Mother Ye rest assured, go with them, if you ruin the old lady's birthday banquet, it is not a matter of a few boards." Wen Qingzhu has his own calculations in his heart.

After hearing her words, Mother Ye came to her senses: "What does Miss mean, taking advantage of this birthday banquet to change the stewardship of Yanyuan?" ”

Wen Qingzhu nodded: "After the death of my mother, almost all the people in Yanyuan are Aunt Wu's people, don't look at Aunt Yue now that Aunt Yue can control them, but once Aunt Wu seizes the opportunity to turn over, most of them will not hesitate to turn back." ”

Mother Ye thought about it for a while, and she was in a cold sweat behind her back: "After leaving Yanyuan for two years, the slaves and maids have almost forgotten Aunt Wu's methods." ”

Wen Qingzhu squinted at the ledger on the desktop, most of which looked fine.

But in fact, I don't know how much money went into Aunt Wu's pocket.

When Aunt Wu lost power, these stewards did not forget to help Aunt Wu make false accounts.

That can only explain one problem, they must have a handle in the hands of Aunt Wu.

"Mother Ye, don't worry, even if the old lady's birthday banquet doesn't happen, I'll let it have an accident." The smile on Wen Qingzhu's lips slowly spread.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the supply of charcoal fires seems to be a little sluggish.

Green Tao dialed the charcoal basin and said with a face full of indignation: "Miss! These minions are too much! At first, it was white charcoal, but now it has begun to be mixed with black charcoal, and I don't even take Miss seriously! ”

Wen Qingzhu looked at the medical book and said disapprerovitously: "I always have to let them earn some oil and water." ”

Green Tao put down the tongs, wiped his hands, walked to Wen Qingzhu's side, crossed his waist and said, "Miss!" You really can't let them go like this! We're pretty good, listening to Qin Xuan's side, it's already late to send charcoal, and Miss Twelve has a quarrel with Aunt Yue because of this matter! ”

"Was the charcoal fire sent to the front of the court late?" Wen Qingzhu put down the medical book and looked up and asked.

Seeing that Wen Qingzhu finally faced up to this problem, Lu Tao breathed a sigh of relief: "Miss, when the slave maid went to the West Courtyard the day before yesterday, Aunt Wu was still silver silk charcoal!" Don't talk about Miss Twelve, the slaves can't stand it! ”

After thinking about it, Wen Qingzhu said: "They are indeed a little excessive, and now there are still ten days before the old lady's birthday banquet." ”

"It's not, obviously the eldest lady hasn't asked our garden to send people, and many people don't work in order to be lazy, and they all lie that they were called away by the eldest lady's people!"

After listening to Lu Tao's words, Wen Qingzhu agreed: "This is not good, the order on the face still has to be maintained, so let's do it, this afternoon, you go and inform the stewards to come here." ”

"Good!" Green Tao agreed.

At the moment of Shen Shi, all the stewards of Yan Yuan came to the front hall of the East Courtyard.

Wen Qingzhu sat in the main seat and flipped through the account book casually.

The stewards below are suspicious, is Miss Seven going to start auditing?

A few stewards who are not very good at accounting are a little panicked.

After drying them for half an hour, Wen Qingzhu glanced at them carefully.

All of them bowed their heads and looked respectful.

"Green Tao, are the housekeepers from all over the place here?" Wen Qingzhu asked deliberately.

Green Tao glanced over and nodded, "It's all here." ”

Hearing this, many housekeepers felt a little relaxed in their hearts, Miss Seven couldn't even recognize everyone, it seemed that it shouldn't be a big deal.

Wen Qingzhu raised his head and said: "I have read your account books, all the housekeepers and mothers have done a good job, this time I called you to come, there is nothing else, the weather has been cold recently, and the charcoal fire is a little insufficient, I will send some reward money here, let you add some charcoal fire by yourself." ”

The green pottery has been prepared with gold bills.

Seeing Wen Qingzhu coming over, she walked down and handed out a gold coin of three taels to the mothers in charge.

Of course, only Mother Wei, who was in charge of the charcoal fire, had nothing.

In this way, the housekeeper mothers don't understand that Miss Seven is Mother Wei who is beating the charcoal fire.

Mother Wei's head was lowered, but she could only grit her teeth and hold back.

Her other housekeepers are different, and what she does, once discovered, can only be killed with a cane.

The most important thing is that the whole family can't escape.

So she can only endure until Aunt Wu completely collapses or overturns, and then she finds a way to leave Yanyuan.

Next, Wen Qingzhu didn't say much.

It's just for you to do your own thing.

In the end, she instructed meaningfully: "In two or three days, there will be many guests in the house one after another, you have to cheer up the spirit, if something goes wrong, I just want to keep you, I'm afraid that the old lady won't let you go." ”

Let go of the word, and suddenly appeared in the ears of the mothers in charge, and a few smart people immediately heard something strange.

Without further ado, Wen Qingzhu waved them down.

After the housekeeper's mother left, they left in three directions.

Mother Wei and Mother Qu have taken a line of defense alone, and their relationship has always been relatively good.

Mother Qu sighed and persuaded: "The charcoal sent by the eldest lady should be enough, why are you still missing the charcoal fire of the twelfth lady, thanks to the good temperament of the seventh lady, if Aunt Yue is still in the housekeeper, you are afraid that your position will be topped in a few days." ”

Mother Wei herself was also aggrieved in her heart, and said in a low voice: "Isn't it more over there?" I can't help it. ”

Looking along Wei's mother's line of sight, it was the direction of the West Courtyard.

Mother Qu sighed and said: "I heard that the tenth young master has been punished, and you are still so loyal to her, I don't even know how to say hello, your daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and I haven't seen you so concerned." ”

"I-" Wei's mother wanted to argue, but she couldn't say it.

Seeing that she was also sad, Mother Qu touched the gold in her hand and said, "You look at it yourself, I always feel that Miss Seven's last sentence seems to have a deep meaning, Aunt Wu's side, if it can be broken, you had better break it." ”

Mother Wei knew that Mother Qu had always been smarter than her, so she nodded: "I'll try my best." ”

In the vestibule of the East Courtyard.

Wen Qingzhu said to Lu Tao: "What do you think of Mother Wei?" ”

Green Tao was counting the remaining coins distressedly, and when he heard her question, he looked up and said, "Not good!" It looks honest, but it's actually very greedy! Even if you change the inferior charcoal fire, you dare to send it a day late, which simply doesn't take the master in your eyes! ”

Wen Qingzhu thought back to the situation just now, and shook his head lightly: "I think this Mother Wei is a little strange, the charcoal fire room has always had a lot of oil and water, and she is so ruthless, which is a bit unreasonable." ”

"It's not like you want more silver!" Green pottery was dismissive.

"That's not right." Wen Qingzhu's eyes appeared in front of Wei's mother.

Standing among the housekeeper mothers, Mother Wei was not conspicuous.

She was the last to leave from the moment she came in, keeping her head down.

After Wen Qingzhu finished speaking, she didn't change, she kept folding her hands, listening to the way she fell.

In this situation, it was as if she had known that she would come to such a scene.

"Green Tao, you go to check on Wei's mother's situation, from how she came to Yanyuan, everything up to now, and the situation in her family must also be investigated."

Wen Qingzhu intuitively felt that there must be something wrong with this Wei's mother.

"Good!"

After beating like this, the people of the entire Yan Garden cheered up.

At least don't dare to be lazy on the surface.

Wen Qingzhu sat in the house, waiting for the news of the green pottery.

didn't wait for the green pottery, but she waited for the eldest lady Wan first.

When Jasmine came in with Wan, Wen Qingzhu found that Wen Qingfang had also come.

"Little Seven!" When Wan saw her, his tone was extremely cordial.

Wen Qingzhu turned a corner in his heart and greeted him with a smile: "Auntie, sixth sister." ”

After greeting each other, Wen Qingzhu invited them to sit down.

Wan couldn't help but look at Wen Qingzhu, and asked kindly, "I heard that Xiao Qi is in charge of Yan Yuan recently?" ”

Wen Qingzhu bowed slightly: "Uncle Niang is joking, Xiao Qi is just doing Aunt Yue a little favor." ”

"Seventh sister, don't be modest, I heard in the past two days that you have managed Yanyuan very well." Wen Qingfang interjected with a smile.
