This is the open space under the steps in front of the house, but everyone is used to calling it the front yard. It is paved with slightly larger square bricks, and some places are even colored with patterns. There is a fountain in the middle, and there is a sculpture of a Greek bather standing in the middle of the fountain. The bather is holding a water bottle obliquely, and the bottle mouth keeps dripping water. When Du Xiaoxian saw this when she came, she was startled, her face turned red immediately, she didn't expect that there was a half-naked woman erected at the main entrance for people coming and going to see, she didn't dare to look at it, so she simply head down.
Tall and green trees are planted around, and some flowers and plants are dotted in the middle, and the branches and leaves are sparse, but they also complement each other.
A Ling said: "Uncle Shaw told you, your job is to clean the yard."
"Yes, I said it." Du Xiaoxian stood upright with his hands down, his eyes swept over the fallen leaves on the ground.
A Ling pointed to the road beside the lawn and said, "Sweep that road once in the morning and once in the afternoon. There is a sycamore tree here that loses its leaves. You need to pay more attention. Madam doesn't like fallen leaves flying around. The young lady said several times that she wanted to cut down the tree, but the young master never agreed. So I had to send people to keep sweeping it."
"Yes, Xiao Bo also said that."
A Ling laughed: "Don't keep saying yes, although there are rules here, it doesn't mean you have to bow your knees like that. You should be in the old days!"
Du Xiaoxian blushed, wrung her fingers and said nothing, she almost grew up by herself, rarely had contact with people, and was not very good at getting along with them, when she came here, she would do what her second aunt taught her Anyway, if you listen to what the second aunt said, you can't go wrong anyway.
A Ling was about to take her to the utility room to pick up the broom, when she suddenly saw a black car driving in at the gate, she squinted her eyes to take a closer look, left Du Xiaoxian behind, and hurried into the house.
Du Xiaoxian stood blankly, wondering who was coming? I don't know if I want to avoid it? Just as she was in a daze, the car had already stopped in front of her, and a young man came out of the car. He looked good, but those eyes made her feel a little uncomfortable. The man looked her up and walked into the room indifferently. .
She quietly went around to the side door and went in. She asked A Ling to take a broom and was about to sweep the floor, then stopped and asked, "Sister A Ling, was that young master just now?"
A Ling glanced contemptuously at the living room, and whispered, "What kind of young master is he? He is the young master's distant cousin, named Gu Niannan, and he is really a wolf. Every time he comes to ask for money, he will say something bitter." The harsh words made the master angry. Once, the master was so angry that he became ill. He was severely punished by the young master. He didn’t come for a few days. He probably ran out of money, so he had to be cheeky again. You will clean outside in the future. Seeing him coming, tell Uncle Xiao and his wife immediately, let the master avoid it, understand?"
Du Xiaoxian nodded, and suddenly heard Gu Niannan raise his voice, seeming very angry: "Second Aunt, is this the money? Do you think you are sending beggars? Parents and children are orderly, Gu's should be our Zhi took over, if it wasn't for my grandpa... how would you be today... "
Mrs. Gu sat there, but she was unhurried: "Niannan, it was indeed your grandfather who gave up his inheritance rights back then, and now we are in charge of the Gu family, but for so many years, our family has treated you well, right? To put it bluntly , the money you have taken away these years is probably more than enough to open another Gu family."
"Don't think I don't know. Now that Gu's market value has doubled or tripled, what is that money?"
"Gu's market value has doubled or tripled, and it depends on whose hands it is! How about it, Nian Bin is about to leave work, so you stay for a meal and tell him by the way, How about it?"
Gu Niannan's expression was ugly, he glanced at the large antique western clock in the hall, snorted, carefully put the check in the inner pocket of his suit, and left without saying a word.
A Ling leaned into Du Xiaoxian's ear and said: "Don't look at Madam's bodhisattva heart, but she is not a soft persimmon. You can't be ruthless when dealing with this kind of person."
Du Xiaoxian just listened and didn't speak, what she thought was: Gu Niannan is so vicious, but after hearing the young master's name but leaving in a hurry, then the young master must be a more powerful person, but she still doesn't know what the young master looks like, in case What should I do if I bump into it and don't avoid it
