Chapter 478

Early in the morning of the second day, Qin Murong took Qin Mujin out of the palace after breakfast.

Yingxu and Shen Shi came over, Ye Yunshui didn't ask any questions, just brought tea, and went out to the meeting hall.

Ever since Prince Zhuang handed over all the affairs of the government to Ye Yunshui, Ye Yunshui didn't come here every day to listen to the stewards' reply.

The chief stewards came to "Shuiqingyuan" every five days to answer their questions, and Ye Yunshui also came here to conduct spot checks every now and then. Since the palace had full authority to follow Ye Yunshui's rules, he didn't really need to worry about it.

The chief stewards came here today, thinking that the imperial concubine would not come again, and were about to retreat, when someone answered at the door, "The imperial concubine is here!"

The stewards each took out the booklets they had prepared, waiting for Ye Yunshui to ask questions at any time.

Ye Yunshui got off the sedan chair at the door, looked into the conference hall, and after sitting down, he said: "There is nothing else to do here today, and the Mid-Autumn Festival will be in a few days, although Prince Zhuang is not here , but this festival should be spent more carefully, and you must not relax, have you all settled down?"

After Ye Yunshui finished speaking, he looked at Mr. Hu's attendant, "Mr. Hu didn't come today? Go and invite him to discuss this matter. Besides, where is Mr. Zhou? Invite him too. Everything is assigned by Manager Hu, the ceremonies of other mansions outside the mansion, the ceremonies of the Queen Mother in the palace, the ceremonies of the emperor, the ceremonies of the empresses and the kings of the counties will all be handed over to Chief Zhou!"

After speaking, Ye Yunshui glanced at the group of stewards, "Go and call, I'll wait here."

Manager Hu's servant immediately saluted and went out, while Manager Zhou's servant was a little hesitant, walking back and forth for a while, but he didn't leave the entrance of the conference hall.

Ye Yunshui looked at him for a while, then asked, "Why don't you go?"

I was just waiting to see what Chief Manager Zhou had to say this week. Qin Murong had already told about the Yuan family's affairs yesterday, but it was clear that Chief Manager Zhou had not reported it to him, and judging from what Qin Murong meant, he was also somewhat dissatisfied with Chief Executive Zhou.

Ye Yunshui came to the meeting hall today just to beat the chief executive, because he was the person next to the deceased prince and concubine, so Prince Zhuang still used him, and Qin Murong also trusted him, but such connivance made him support him He lost his temper, and even kept the Yuan family's affairs in his stomach and didn't tell his master. Who is the master?Who will give his family money to eat, and who will give his family wealth and strength?

Hearing Ye Yunshui's question, the servant immediately replied: "Returning to the concubine, Chief Manager Zhou has been feeling unwell these days, and has not come to manage affairs in the mansion... Slave, I am afraid that he will not be able to come to the mansion." It gets smaller and smaller, as small as a female mosquito.

Ye Yunshui pretended to be surprised, and asked urgently: "Director Zhou is not feeling well? When did this happen? Why didn't anyone reply to me?"

The stewards bowed their heads and remained silent, the young servant looked around and saw that no one came forward to answer, so he could only whisper: "Zhou... Chief Zhou is afraid that the concubine will be worried, and that the son and the masters will miss him, so he doesn't... …If you don’t let the servants reciprocate, you will be able to recover in a few days, and you will come back to pay your respects to the Shi Ziye and Shi Zifei!”

The words were stuttering, it was obvious that the boy was talking to himself, but Ye Yunshui stood up and ordered the steward at the side: "Go and call, tell Boss Hu not to come over in a hurry, and come to 'Shuiqingyuan' in the afternoon Answer alone, Hua'er, go to the storeroom of 'Shuiqingyuan' and take out some high-quality ginseng, I want to visit Chief Manager Zhou in person!"

When Ye Yunshui said this, the rest of the stewards were surprised, and the boy in front of Chief Manager Zhou almost sat down on the ground!
The Crown Princess wants to visit in person?This... Isn't this a big mistake?

Regardless of the etiquette and rules, the young man hurriedly stood in front of her, knelt down and replied, "Don't bother to visit the concubine in person, the Chief Manager Zhou has recovered a little from his illness, it's not a problem, it's not a problem!"

"What is my concubine's turn to ask for your instructions? What's more, the chief manager of Zhou is the chief manager of Prince Zhuang's mansion. He has made great contributions to this mansion. What's wrong with my concubine's personal visit? If it doesn't hinder, where can I go?" You can't even ask a question in this meeting hall? If you have invited a doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment early, how can it be so serious? Even if you save your face, it is not a bad idea to hire an imperial doctor for it. You are just a little ignorant messing up here. If Zhou What is the serious illness of the chief executive, this concubine will hold you accountable!"

After saying these words, Ye Yunshui waved his hand, Hua'er went back to "Shuiqing Garden" first, while the rest of the maids followed Ye Yunshui into the sedan chair and wanted to leave the mansion.

The little servant was so frightened that he sat on the ground with his buttocks, his whole face was blue, and his body was dripping with sweat, as if half of the water had been fished out. Seeing the princess's sedan chair leaving, he seemed to want to run back to write a letter ahead of time. Son, but before he could stand up, Zhu Ji called him to stay where he was, blocking his way.

"Little brother, where are you going? Look at you, you are covered in sweat. I didn't know that Chief Zhou was sick before, and I didn't go to greet him. Today you are here. Come back with me to bring something to Chief Zhou. , it's a little bit of my heart!"

The young man hurriedly shied away, but he was scolded by the concubine just now, he hesitated for a long time and didn't know what to say, Zhu Ji was the first-class manager, and he was under the concubine's subordinates, he said excessive words, Afraid of being passed on, but Zhu Ji seized his gap, dragged him away, and kept chanting:

"Walking around, it's not for you, it's for Chief Zhou, you are a servant, but there's no reason you can even push the gift for your chief!"

One sentence was blocked back, this young man had a bitter face, and the rest of the stewards saw Zhu Ji doing this, some knew that he was deliberately blocking this young man so as not to cause trouble for the concubine, and some were thinking that everyone else would send him off. If they didn't give the gift, wouldn't they be blamed by the chief manager of that week?

In this way, more people went back to collect the gifts, but they completely regarded the young man in front of Chief Manager Zhou as a laborer.

The place where Chief Manager Zhou lives is not far from Prince Zhuang’s Mansion, it’s only on the back street of the Prince’s Mansion, there are three entrances and three exits to the mansion with two gardens, if half a plaque is not hung at the door, others will think that It is the house of an official family in Nieliang City.

Ye Yunshui's sedan chair arrived at the door, but the guard at the door was shocked. He opened the door and wanted to let out a cry, but was called out by Qiaoxi, and Ye Yunshui said: "This concubine is just here to visit next week. Chief Manager, I heard that he is tired and seriously ill, so you don’t have to go in to report, lest Chief Manager Zhou has to come out to greet him after being tired, which will cause more trouble.”

The gatekeeper thought about it for a while, then quickly knelt down and kowtowed, Qiaoxi called him up, "Just lead the way, don't kowtow here!"

The gatekeeper seemed to have weak legs, so he had to nod to lead the way.

The women directly carried the sedan chair into the door, and followed the young man to the yard. The people they saw along the way were all astonished. I saw a ghost and ran away...

Ye Yunshui looked out from the car curtain, but she sneered in her heart and shook her head frequently. Although she is a servant of an ordinary family, she is not as good as the rules of the palace. Maybe she is so afraid, isn't she also guilty of guilt?

After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, the sedan chair stopped at the gate of the yard.

At this time, there were already many people kneeling down and waiting in the courtyard, and the leader was Chief Manager Zhou.

Someone still came to inform in advance, maybe it was in this yard, not in the palace... Ye Yunshui waited for everyone to salute outside, Hua'er stepped forward and put down the curtain of the sedan chair, and Ye Yunshui got out of the sedan chair.

Chief Manager Zhou was dressed in plain clothes, his face was pale, and his hair was only tied back randomly, which was a little messy. Behind him were his two sons, and Chief Manager Zhou's wife...

"The concubine is auspicious, please greet the concubine, I didn't know that the concubine came here today, so please forgive me for being negligent!" Chief Manager Zhou said hoarsely, as if he had been seriously ill for a long time.

Ye Yunshui looked at him carefully for a while before replying:
"Today I wanted to discuss with Chief Manager Zhou about the Mid-Autumn Festival etiquette for a few days, but I learned that Chief Manager Zhou was seriously ill, so my concubine came here specially to visit!" Waving her hand back, Hua'er held the ginseng in her hand. After sending it, Manager Zhou immediately knelt down and cupped his hands to thank him, and said:
"Thank you for the kindness of the concubine, the old slave has gradually recovered, and it is the fault of the old slave for delaying the important affairs of the mansion!" After finishing speaking, he turned his head and ordered the servants, "If you don't serve tea for the concubine, the concubine Come in!"

Ye Yunshui shook his head, "No, I'll just say a few words here!" Afterwards Hua'er moved out a wicker chair and spread a thick cushion on it, and Ye Yunshui sat on it, thinking about what happened this week. The chief manager said that he was recovering gradually, and that he was delaying the important affairs of the mansion, and filled up all the loopholes in one sentence...Ye Yunshui felt that the chief manager Zhou seemed to have developed seven or eight minds.

"My concubine came here recently to visit Chief Manager Zhou, nothing else!" Ye Yunshui's words made Chief Executive Zhou frowned, and after a moment of thought, he said: " Rest assured, the concubine, the old slave is now in good health, and will be able to complete the tasks assigned by the concubine, the concubine, please give me instructions!"

Ye Yunshui looked at Chief Manager Zhou, chuckled lightly, and said:
"To put it bluntly, Chief Manager Zhou shouldn't try to be brave for this. Firstly, you are not recovering from your health. Second, the layout of the mansion has been handed over to Chief Manager Hu. It was originally thought that the external affairs were left to you. Well, there are always welcomes and send-offs in various parts of the palace and in various mansions, so it is not appropriate for you to look sick, what do you think?"

Ye Yunshui's words made Manager Zhou feel cold, and the other two sons of the Zhou family also stared at Manager Zhou. The wife of Manager Zhou seemed to be an honest person, but she was shocked for a while before she lowered her head. ...

Ye Yunshui kept staring at Chief Manager Zhou, although he was pretending to be sick, but the ashes on his face smelled like an incense burner, and the left side was white, the right side was black, and there was a bit of oil on his messy hair... It's obvious that he made this appearance out of desperation and pretended to be sick!

Pretend, Ye Yunshui sneered in his heart, let's see how long you pretend!
