Chapter 173

When Wu Zhuangtou saw that the two wives were not getting oil and salt, he was so anxious that he could not help but say, "two sisters-in-law, please. The day after tomorrow is the day for my second son to marry his daughter-in-law. Even if I set out to go back this evening, I would have to arrive the next morning as soon as possible. I really can't afford the delay!"

No matter what, the two women just shook their heads: "brother Wu, you'd better wait. The guests in front have been here for a long time. I'm afraid they'll leave soon. You can wait a little longer."

Wu Zhuangtou could not help but sit on the stool and sighed.

At this time, a tender voice suddenly rang out of the door: "what's the matter?"

With the sound, a girl in a lotus root white pleated skirt, covered with a green Duoluo jacket, came in. She had a gentle eyebrow, a soft face, and a soft voice. She was just heard, but felt a little warm care.

The two women looked at each other and could not help wondering why she had come, but did not dare to ask more. They had to stand up and salute, and said in unison, "Hello, Miss Wu."

Jade thousand cloud walked in, smile to two old woman son, Wen Yan said: "two mothers don't need to be more polite."

Where did the two ladies call their mothers? On hearing this address, he could not help but lighten his bones. He made a smile to Yu qianyun and asked him to sit down at the head of the table: "please sit down, Miss five. I'll let the servant girl make you hot tea. You should warm yourself first."

Yu qianyun said with a smile, "that's a good mother."

Seeing the bearing of Yu qianyun, Wu Zhuangtou heard two women calling for Miss Wu. He was so scared that he didn't dare to lift his head. He just stood up, lowered his head and stood aside.

Yu qianyun took a sip of tea, took a look at Wu Zhuangtou, and then asked the two women with a smile: "I heard the bustle here from a long distance. What's the matter?"

When the two women saw that Yu qianyun asked, they did not dare not answer. They said, "this is Wu Zhuangtou of Chuang Tzu in the western suburbs. They came to deliver the new year goods."

Yu qianyun nodded slightly: "no wonder I saw a lot of cars parked at the second gate, so it is."

Then he said with a smile to Wu Zhuangtou: "thank you, Wu Zhuangtou."

The head of Wu Zhuang was flattered, and his head dropped lower. He could only say, "I dare not, I dare not."

Yu qianyun put down his tea cup and said, "in this case, why don't you take things in?"

The two women said with a smile: "my aunt is with you in front of me. I can't go for a moment. Let Wu Zhuangtou wait here."

Yu qianyun's face showed a look of surprise: "it's just to receive new year's goods. Do you want my aunt to ask about it in person? Can't a housekeeper put it in the warehouse

Seeing that she was naive, the two women couldn't help laughing and said, "it's not only the delivery of new year's goods, but also the annual accounts and harvest with my aunt. The ordinary steward can't manage such things. The master of the house is always the master of the house."

She explained patiently, but in her heart she said with a secret smile that the fifth miss was a big lady, and she thought things were too simple.

Wu Zhuangtou was more impatient and didn't care about his identity. He quickly went forward and complained: "Miss Wu, the old slave arrived early this morning. Now I've been waiting for a long time. I can't catch up with you today. It's OK for us to have a big business at home."

a woman immediately interrupted him: "how can you talk here? Be careful not to insult Miss Wu! "

Wu Zhuangtou was so scared that he stopped talking and didn't dare to say more.

Yu qianyun didn't care. Wen Yan said, "well, at the end of the new year, every household is very busy. Even small families have a lot of things to do, not to mention Wu Zhuangtou."

This was just in Wu Zhuangtou's heart. Although he didn't dare to look up, he murmured: "dozens of tenants are still waiting for me to go back to share the new year's goods. If it's too late, I'm afraid even their home will be demolished by them."

With a smile, Yu qianyun said, "since Aunt Mei can't be free, let the housekeeper come here and finish Wu Zhuangtou's business earlier, or let him go back earlier."

Wu Zhuangtou couldn't help but kneel down and kowtowed to Yu qianyun: "thank you very much, Miss Wu!"

But the two women were embarrassed: "this Miss Wu, Aunt Mei said -- "

just now, Yu qianyun, whose face was soft, suddenly sank and said," didn't you just say that there is a master looking at it? Why, I am not the master of the house? "

The two women were startled. They all knelt down: "I dare not."

Although the five young ladies usually look at her kindness, she didn't expect to turn her face. Her words are sharper than her knife.

No matter what the five young ladies are in charge of, after all, she is the real master of the jade mansion. Even when old lady Yu is alive, she should look up to her, and Aunt Mei wants to let her be a little bit more. Even if these two women are favored again, they can't refute her face.

Yu qianyun looks at the two women kneeling on the ground pretending to be respectful. A touch of inappropriate sneer appears on his gentle face, but in a flash he closes his sharp eyes.

She idly fiddled with the tea cup in her hand and said faintly, "the two mothers mean that I am not as good as Aunt Mei as a young lady!"The two women were suddenly shocked. One of them knelt down on the ground quickly, and the other fell on his knees in a hurry.

"Excuse me, Miss Wu. I dare not think so."

Yu qianyun snorted softly and said, "what should I think? You two only know Aunt Mei as the master. I'm just a little miss five. You should not pay attention to me... "

The two women were so scared that they knelt on the ground and did not even dare to lift their heads. They would only say that they did not dare.

Miss Wu's posture is not easy to deal with. If they disobey the master, Aunt Mei may not be able to protect them.

Wu Zhuangtou on one side couldn't understand the twists and turns of the head here. He only understood that the fifth lady was helping him speak, so he stood beside him without saying a word.

When Yu qianyun saw that the two women were suppressed by themselves, he opened his mouth and said to the maid, "take Wu Zhuangtou to look for the chief housekeeper. Let him put the things into the storehouse. As for the accounts..."

Seeing that Yu qianyun glanced at himself, Wu Zhuangtou said in a hurry: "it's the accounts of your family. It's the same as the main newspaper."

When he came last year, Aunt Mei had not yet arrived at the jade mansion. In fact, he was not very convinced of this Aunt Mei. Now it seems that there is a serious master like the fifth miss of the jade mansion who is willing to flatter.

Yu qianyun smiles and seems to be very satisfied with his knowledge.

She stood up and said, "go to the housekeeper first, and see me in the little study outside later."
