Wen Qingzhu turned to Shaoyao and said, "Whenever Manager Tian is free, he can come over at any time. The first one or two years may be a bit harder."
"My slave, I obey." Shaoyao didn't feel it was hard.
She has seen acupuncture methods that can cure rheumatism, but only her young lady has the acupuncture methods that can completely cure rheumatism.
Tian Chong didn't know what Wen Qingzhu meant, so he made a choice on the spot.
He lifted up his clothes and knelt down to Wen Qingzhu. "Thank you Miss Seven."
"The manager of the field is cleared." Wen Qingzhu was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He stood up and helped him up.
After chatting with him about Mrs. Tian's specific situation, Wen Qingzhu gave him some suggestions.
Tian Chong wanted to take Shaoyao to Zhuangzi, and Wen Qingzhu naturally agreed.
After Tian Chong left with Shaoyao, Lu Tao couldn't help asking: "Didn't the lady say that Manager Tian is a very cautious person?"
Looking out the door, Wen Qingzhu replied: "He is indeed a very cautious person. Although he has expressed his attitude, it only shows that he is willing to help me, but it cannot be completely used by me."
Lu Tao was surprised: "Isn't this even possible?"
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 identifies him, there is almost no risk of defecting in battle.
Over in the West Hospital, Aunt Wu has been recuperating.
But she secretly instructed Wen Qinglan, from the beginning of his mischief to the various demands now, dragging Aunt Yue to the west courtyard.
Occasionally, Uncle Wen came to Yanyuan, and Aunt Yue was even held back, unable to leave even if she wanted to.
Yan Yuan's matter has completely fallen on Wen Qingzhu's side.
After the last reward, other stewards heard about it and were filled with envy.
Five taels of gold is only fifty taels of silver. They can't make so much money even if they work hard for a year.
These days, Aunt Wu and Aunt Yue have been busy fighting each other, and Yan Yuan's control has become a little looser.
Mother Ye used to follow Lu's housekeeper, and her methods were quite powerful.
When she found out that the stewards began to be lazy and neglectful, she immediately sent someone to invite them.
But Wen Qingzhu stopped Mama Ye.
"Miss, it's almost the old lady's birthday party. If something happens, we can't bear the anger of Fushou Tang!" Mother Ye was worried.
"Don't worry, Mama Ye, let them go. If it ruins the old lady's birthday banquet, it won't be a big deal." Wen Qingzhu had his own calculation in his mind.
After hearing her words, Mother Ye came to her senses: "What do you mean, Miss, to take advantage of this birthday party to change the management of Yanyuan?"
Wen Qingzhu nodded: "After mother passed away, almost all the people in Yanyuan are Aunt Wu's people. Although Aunt Yue can control them now, once Aunt Wu seizes the opportunity to stand up, most of them will turn against her without hesitation. .”
Mother Ye thought for a moment, with a cold sweat on her back: "After two years of leaving Yanyuan, I have almost forgotten Aunt Wu's methods."
Wen Qingzhu squinted at the ledgers on the table. Most of them looked fine.
But in fact, I don’t know how much money went into Aunt Wu’s pocket.
When Wu YiNiang lost power, these stewards did not forget to help Wu YiNiang make false accounts.
That can only mean one thing. They must have something in Aunt Wu's hands.
"Don't worry, Mother Ye. Even if nothing happens to the old lady's birthday party, I will let it happen." The smile on Wen Qingzhu's lips slowly spread.
The weather is getting colder and the supply of charcoal seems to be slow.
Lu Tao moved the charcoal basin and said angrily: "Miss! These slaves have gone too far! The white charcoal was given as a gift at first, but now it has started to be mixed with black charcoal. I simply don't take the lady seriously. !”
Wen Qingzhu looked through the medical books and said nonchalantly: "We have to let them make some money, right?"
Lu Tao put down the tongs, wiped his hands, walked to Wen Qingzhu's side, put his hands on his hips and said: "Miss! You really can't let them go like this! We are pretty good here. I heard from Qinxuan that the delivery was already late. Tan, Miss Twelve even had a quarrel with Aunt Yue because of this matter!"
"Is it too late to send the charcoal fire to the court?" Wen Qingzhu put down the medical book and raised his head and asked.
Seeing that Wen Qingzhu finally faced this problem, Lu Tao breathed a sigh of relief: "Miss, when I went to the West Courtyard the day before yesterday, Aunt Wu's hair was still silver charcoal! Not to mention Miss Twelve's troubles, I couldn't stand it anymore! "
After thinking about it, Wen Qingzhu said: "They did go too far. There are still about ten days before the old lady's birthday party."
"No, obviously the eldest lady hasn't asked our garden to send any manpower. Many people lied about being called away by the eldest lady's people just to be lazy and not work!"
After listening to Lu Tao's words, Wen Qingzhu agreed very much: "This won't work. The order of honor must be maintained. Let's do this. This afternoon, you go and inform the stewards to come here."
"Okay!" Lu Tao agreed.
At midnight, all the stewards of Yanyuan came to the front hall of the east courtyard.
Wen Qingzhu sat in the main seat and flipped through the ledger.
The various stewards below have doubts. Could it be that Miss Seven is going to start auditing the accounts
Several stewards who were not very good at accounting felt a little panicked.
After leaving them alone for half an hour, Wen Qingzhu glanced at them carefully.
Everyone lowered their heads, seemingly respectful.
"Lu Tao, are all the mothers in charge here?" Wen Qingzhu asked deliberately.
Lu Tao glanced over and nodded, "They're all here."
After hearing this, many of the mothers in charge felt a little relaxed. Miss Seven couldn't even recognize the person, so it seemed like it shouldn't be a big deal.
Wen Qingzhu raised his head and said: "I have read your account books. All the mothers in charge have done a good job. I have called you here this time. There is nothing else. It has been cold recently and the charcoal fire has been insufficient. I will give you some reward money. Add some charcoal fire yourself.”
Green Tao has prepared the golden thorn.
Seeing Wen Qingzhu looking over, she walked down and handed out three taels of gold coins to all the mothers in charge.
Of course, Mother Wei, who only manages the charcoal fire, has nothing.
In this way, the mothers in charge don't understand that Miss Qi is the mother Wei who beats the charcoal fire.
Mother Wei's head lowered even lower, but she could only grit her teeth to hold back.
Her other mothers in charge were different. Once she was discovered what she was doing, she would only be punished with a cane.
The most important thing is that the whole family cannot escape.
So she could only endure it until Aunt Wu completely collapsed or turned around, and then she would find a way to leave Yanyuan.
Next, Wen Qingzhu didn't say much.
Just let the responsible mothers do their own thing.
Finally, she said with deep meaning: "In two or three days, many guests will come to the house one after another. You must be very alert. If something goes wrong, I just want to protect you. I'm afraid No one will let you go."
The word "let go" suddenly appeared in the ears of all the mothers in charge, and the smart ones immediately heard something strange.
Without further words, Wen Qingzhu waved them off.
After the mothers in charge left, they divided into three groups and left in three directions.
Mother Wei and Mother Qu walked a separate line of defense, and their relationship has always been relatively good.
Mother Qu sighed and persuaded: "The charcoal fire sent by the eldest lady should be enough. Why are you still short of the charcoal fire of Miss Twelve? Fortunately, Miss Seventh has a good temper. If Aunt Yue is still in charge of the house, your position is only I’m afraid I’ll be beaten up in a few days.”
Mother Wei herself felt aggrieved and whispered: "Isn't it much more over there? I can't help it."
Following Mother Wei's line of sight, that was the direction of the west courtyard.
Qu's mother 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 to you. Your daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and I haven't seen you so caring. .”
"I-" Wei's mother wanted to defend herself, but she couldn't.
Seeing that she was also frowning, Qu's mother touched the gold in her hand and said, "You can make up your own mind. I always feel that Miss Qi's last words seem to have a deep meaning. As for Aunt Wu, if you can break it off, you'd better broken."
Mother Wei knew that Mother Qu had always been smarter than her, so she nodded: "I'll try my best."
In the front hall of the east courtyard.
Wen Qingzhu said to Lu Tao, "What do you think of Mother Wei?"
Lu Tao was counting the remaining charcoal in distress. When he heard her question, he raised his head and said, "Not so good! He looks honest, but he is actually very greedy! Forget about replacing it with inferior charcoal fire. How dare you be too late?" To send it away in one day is simply disrespectful to the master!"
Wen Qingzhu recalled the situation just now and shook his head calmly: "I think this Mother Wei is a bit strange. The charcoal fire house has always been rich in oil and water. It's a bit unreasonable for her to be so cruel."
"You don't want more money!" Lu Tao dismissed it.
"That's wrong." Wen Qingzhu's mother Wei's appearance appeared in front of his eyes.
Standing among all the mothers in charge, Wei’s mother 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 much. She kept folding her hands and looked resigned.
In this situation, it was as if she had known that this would happen to her.
"Lv Tao, go check on Wei's mother's situation, from how she came to Yanyuan to everything until now. In addition, the situation at her home must also be investigated clearly."
Wen Qingzhu had a gut feeling that there must be something wrong with Mother Wei.
"good!"
After beating like this, the entire Yanyuan servants cheered up.
At least I don't dare to be lazy openly.
Wen Qingzhu sat in the room, waiting for news from Lu Tao.
Before Lu Tao came, she waited for the eldest lady Wanshi to come.
When Jasmine came in welcoming Wanshi, Wen Qingzhu discovered that Wen Qingfang had also arrived.
"Xiao Qi!" When Wan saw her, her tone was extremely cordial.
Wen Qingzhu's heart turned around and he greeted her with a smile: "Auntie, Sixth Sister."
After exchanging pleasantries, 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 Yanyuan recently?"
Wen Qingzhu nodded slightly: "Auntie, you're kidding me. Xiaoqi is just helping Aunt Yue a little."
"Seventh sister, please stop being modest. I heard in the past two days that you manage Yanyuan very well." Wen Qingfang interrupted with a smile.
