With his head held high and his hands behind him, he kept walking on the steps, as if in a hurry. He glanced at the direction of Jianshan from time to time, but he didn't seem to see what he expected, so he continued to walk again.
Just then, the servant behind him came cheering: "the master is back."
Du Wisteria suddenly turned around. Sure enough, he saw two sedan chairs coming slowly. This should be the master. He thought in his heart and quickly waved: "go and meet the master."
Then he took a step and ran to the sedan chair.
When the servant carrying the sedan chair saw that the housekeeper was coming, he hurriedly accelerated his pace and stopped at the door of the house for a moment.
Du Wisteria hurriedly came forward, stood in front of the sedan chair and bowed and said, "sir."
The servant pressed the sedan chair, and a figure came out slowly.
Du Wisteria smiled and got up: "old..."
In the middle of the speech, he seemed to be choked, and his face was a little ugly, because he found that it was not the master, but Miss Zhang Yuyao and Miss Zhang.
Didn't you let these guys invite the master? Why did these guys invite Miss Zhang?
Of course, he is not prejudiced against Zhang Yuyao, but Mrs. Xie who comes this time. He must have the master's opinion.
Moreover, the master seems to attach great importance to this dried flower, so he should pay special attention to it. Now invite Miss Zhang. Can she decide?
To take a step back, even if Miss Zhang can make the decision, if there is anything wrong, isn't it her fault that the master comes back?
Although he thought so, he couldn't say so. So he said, "Hello, Miss Zhang. I don't know if the master has come back?"
While talking, he glanced at the sedan chair behind him intentionally or unintentionally.
I thought, the sedan chair in front of me is Miss Zhang, and the one behind me is always the master, isn't it?
After all, the master is so interested in this dried flower that he should come back.
However, the next moment, he was a little disappointed.
Because the person who came down was Jing Shu.
This
The master didn't come back? Why are both girls back?
When he was wondering, Zhang Yuyao said, "housekeeper Du, the master didn't come back this time. Our sisters specially came back to see Mrs. Xie."
Du Wisteria didn't answer, because he didn't know how to answer. He couldn't say it was a big event. The master must decide. Isn't that a way out? You know, these two girls are the wives of the master who will pass the door. He doesn't dare to touch this bad luck.
After all, he wants to work in Zhang's house for a few more years.
One side of Jingshu seemed to see the difficulties of Du wisteria and smiled: "steward Du, this time childe Zhang can't get away with important things, so our sisters came back to solve things. You don't have to worry. We'll talk to childe Zhang about anything."
This is a metaphor. The underlying meaning is that childe Zhang asked us to come back.
Of course, she didn't want the people in Zhang's house to know that childe Zhang was missing. Although she knew that childe Zhang was not in danger, others didn't know.
If the people in Zhang's house know that the master is not here, there will be a riot.
It is also a last resort to hide it from the public for the sake of the peace of Zhang's house.
Obviously, Zhang Yuyao also heard Jingshu's meaning and interposed: "yes, steward Du, there are our sisters over there. Don't worry."
Du Wisteria lowered his head and frowned. He could understand the meaning of the two girls.
It's just to let them take charge of the overall situation. It's not impossible. After all, both girls are the wives of the master.
Moreover, now that the master has not come back, he can only let two girls preside over it.
Thinking about it, he said, "this is what the two girls said. Since the master hasn't come back, it's natural for you to take charge of the overall situation. Go to the mansion first."
With that, he turned and made a gesture, smiled and said, "two girls, please."
Zhang Yuyao and Jing Shu looked at each other and smiled. They walked to the house one by one. Du Wisteria led a group of servants behind them.
There was nothing to say all the way until she came to the front yard. Zhang Yuyao pointed to a group of cotton clothes in front of her and asked, "housekeeper Du, how is the production and sales of cotton clothes now?"
Du Wisteria hurriedly came forward and stood still. A pleased look flashed in his eyes: "now the production of cotton clothes has doubled than before, and the sales volume is in short supply. The whole Chang'an is scrambling for our cotton clothes."
Since the master left, he has supported the family alone. In addition to the piecemeal things in the house and cotton padded clothes, he has exhausted his mind and hasn't slept well for several nights.
Of course, he enjoyed it and thought that he was not tired at all.
The two women also know all this. Looking at housekeeper Du with a pair of panda eyes, they naturally understand.
Therefore, Zhang Yuyao said with concern: "housekeeper Du, you've worked hard recently. When childe Zhang comes back, you will be rewarded."
"Not hard, not hard."
Du Wisteria waved his hand and smiled: "how can you say it's hard to work for the master? There are not many people like the master who are kind-hearted and kind-hearted. It's a blessing for the old man to work in Zhang's house."
