Chapter 609 Firecrackers (1) 609
There is a counting room and a concierge office in the outer courtyard. Brother Jin pointed to the concierge office in the west wing, where he is a steward. He is wearing an autumn-colored straight jacket and has two small mustaches.
Brother Shen said enthusiastically behind him: Are we going to find him and beat him up?
Hongwen felt as if her back was wet with sweat again.
She smiled softly and said: We are not a nursing home, so why should we beat someone so much? Let’s go to Manager Bai and ask him to take care of him.
Brother Jin nodded and went to a two-room wing to the west of the main hall. Because of Xu Siyu's marriage, Manager Bai temporarily handled the affairs of the Xu Mansion there. From time to time, there were stewards coming and going. When he saw Brother Jin, they all bowed and saluted.
He called Mr. Six and Master Seven with a smile, and their attitude was very cordial and friendly.
Another steward said to Brother Jin: Sixth Young Master, do you still remember the younger one? The last time he was in the Fourth Young Master's room, the younger one received orders from Manager Zhao to deliver a post to the Fourth Young Master.
As a result, it started to rain, and it was the little one who carried you to the door of Chuiwu.
Brother Jin looked at the steward blankly, obviously he had no impression at all.
The steward immediately said, "The younger one's name is Wang Erhu." Brother Oh Jin responded casually and stepped forward.
The steward couldn't help but show a look of disappointment in his eyes.
Walking under the eaves, a young man with fair skin and handsome appearance came out of the wing, wearing a steward's green silk coat. The man was stunned when he saw Brother Jin, and hurriedly stepped forward and gave him a big salute: Master Six has not been here for some time.
I see you. Are you okay, the Fourth Madam? Your little one and I are always thinking about the Fourth Madam and the Sixth Young Master.
Brother Jin looked back at Hongwen and asked her who this was.
Hongwen smiled and said, "This is Cao An, the manager. He works in the warehouse. His family's name is Yanrong. He used to serve his wife, but later he got married and was released."
Brother Jin took a second look at Cao An and said, "Mom is fine. I'm fine too." Then he ordered Hong Wen to reward him with two taels of silver.
Hongwen hurriedly took two silver darts from her purse.
Cao An had never seen two taels of silver before. But it was rewarded by Brother Jin, so it was different. He accepted the silver respectfully, thanked Brother Jin gratefully, and then asked Brother Jin cautiously: Are you looking for Manager Bai?
Brother Jin nodded.
Cao An said, "I'm also here to see Mr. Bai. Mr. Bai just went to the room, and a boy has already gone to call him. He should be back soon. He stood aside with his hands hanging. How about the Sixth Young Master come in and sit down and talk?"
He looked at Hongwen and saw that the girl with red stripes was waiting beside her.
Hongwen nodded to him gratefully.
This is the outer courtyard, and there are men coming and going. Everyone is staring at her as she walks, and she has long been at a loss.
Thank you to Manager Cao Hongwen for following him into the wing.
There were several people who looked like stewards standing around talking and looking over when they heard the movement. When they saw it was Brother Jin, they all stepped forward to salute. Seeing that Brother Jin was dirty, they personally fetched some water and gave it to Hongwen. Okay.
Some asked Hongwen to serve Brother Jin and Brother Shen to clean their hands and faces; some also personally helped Brother Jin to find Manager Bai. After everything was done, they served tea, served snacks, and talked with them, okay?
lively.
Cao An asked Hong Wen thoughtfully: I heard that Mother Gu went back in the summer. Which mother is working for the Sixth Young Master now?
Hongwen smiled and said: There has never been a suitable one. Madam personally takes care of the affairs in the Sixth Young Master's house. As she said this, she was thinking about the candidates recommended to the Fourth Madam by the Second Madam, the Fifth Madam and the Third Madam from Mitsui Hutong these days.
The Fourth Madam said that if she acted mildly, she would be too weak and she was afraid that she would not be able to control the Sixth Young Master; if she acted harshly, the Fourth Madam would say that she was too cold and cold, fearing that she would make the Fourth Young Master stupid and she doesn’t know what kind of person is suitable.
Then you have to work hard and shoulder everything. Cao An smiled and talked to Hongwen, but he didn't look at the stewards who were flattering him in front of Brother Jin.
Ever since the sixth young master reached the age of five, the atmosphere in the house has become a little different. There are many people who want to be with the second young master, and many people want to be with the sixth young master. But the sixth young master is young, and
Living in the inner courtyard, the fourth lady paid close attention to the sixth young master, so those people could not find a chance. Even so, there were still people who came to get close to him and Wan Daxian.
When he told his wife Yanrong about this incident, Yanrong once warned him: Don't think that just because you are the fourth wife, you have to get angry. The young lady of the Jiang family has not entered the house yet. The sixth young master still has a long way to go.
Now. At this time, we people are even more careful not to cause any trouble that will cause others to find fault. Then the fourth lady and the sixth young master will be implicated. You should learn from Wan Daxian and do your job wholeheartedly.
, ignore the others. Well, the way is to promote to the second-class manager, first-class manager, and become the general manager. Only then can we really help the Sixth Master, and we can live a good life.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile slightly and focused his attention on the greetings with Hong Wen.
Manager Bai walked in quickly.
Young Master Six, Young Master Seven, he smiled and greeted Brother Jin and Brother Shen.
Hong Wen hurriedly stood up: Mr. Bai, our Sixth Young Master, has something to tell you. The manager didn’t give Sixth Young Master firecrackers because he was afraid that Sixth Young Master would blow up his hands. It was a good intention. What if Sixth Young Master would do it in front of so many people?
Tell the manager about the situation, and I'm afraid she won't dare to say anything when she encounters the Sixth Young Master doing something wrong in the future. This is not helping the Sixth Young Master, but harming the Sixth Young Master. She is the person next to the Sixth Young Master, and she will be both prosperous and disadvantaged.
We are all in harm's way. Of course we can't let the Sixth Young Master do such a thing.
Manager Bai glanced at the stewards in the room after hearing this.
Those stewards were all human beings, and they immediately bowed and retreated.
Brother Jin angrily told Manager Bai what happened: Get me some firecrackers and teach that manager a lesson.
While he was talking, Hong Wen kept winking at Manager Bai, meaning that he could just let Manager Bai deal with Brother Jin perfunctorily.
Manager Bai can see clearly.
He also heard a lot about the affairs in the inner courtyard. Brother Jin's house has never had a mother who took care of things, so Eleven Niang personally raised her son.
After putting so much thought into it, I naturally have many expectations for him.
But expectations are not enough. Brother Jin is a young boy. If he wants to stand out, he can only make a fuss about his reputation. This kind of thing of having to teach the officials in the government if he disagrees will only make Brother Jin become arrogant and domineering.
The bad reputation is probably what Eleven Niang is least happy to see.
Many people in the house have small thoughts, and he is not unaware of them. But he also has his own ideas. After serving the Marquis for so many years, the Marquis is not confused at all. The Marquis just likes to keep everything in his heart. If he makes any small moves,
With the Marquis' shrewdness, he will definitely not be able to hide it from the Marquis, and will only disappoint him. Rather than risking his life later, it is better to serve the Marquis loyally as always. He will do whatever the Marquis says, and still have a reputation for loyalty.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Manager Bai thought of what Xu Lingyi had said to him a few days ago: Brother Jin will be enlightened tomorrow at the beginning of the spring. I asked Manager Zhao to ask a few general soldiers to help recommend a master who knows martial arts in my name.
The Marquis has high hopes for this young son, so he naturally wants to protect the Sixth Young Master's reputation.
Thinking of this, General Manager Bai smiled and nodded at Hong Wenqian and said softly: Sixth Young Master, don't worry, I will go find the manager you mentioned first, and then I will give you a reply. As for the firecrackers, you don't know, our house
There are so many people on board, and there are quotas for everything. In this way, the boys in charge don’t dare to take things randomly. Otherwise, how could those boys pick up the unlit firecrackers on the ground and set them off? He said,
He raised his head and looked at the sky. It was almost 100 hours. According to the rules of the mansion, if you want to receive something, you must register it on the first day. No one is allowed to open the door of the warehouse after Shen Chu. Unless there is a match from the Marquis. Of course.
, if the Sixth Young Master wants to get something, the Marquis will definitely give him the right card. But today, the special Second Young Master’s dowry is about to come in. Even if he gets the Marquis’ right card, I’m afraid that at this time, everyone in the warehouse will run to watch the fun.
I can't find anyone. After saying that, I sincerely called out to Mr. Six. "How about I make a record for you tonight? I'll pick up the firecrackers and deliver them to you personally tomorrow morning."
Although he insisted on quotas and conventions, Brother Jin was not confused at all.
Manager Bai always means the same thing.
It was impossible to call the steward in and teach him a lesson, nor was it possible to collect firecrackers from him.
His face turned red with anger, and he stood up suddenly: Don't you just want my father's pair of cards? I went to go and walked out as I said that.
Brother Shen looked at it and also lost one. If we wanted to go find the fourth uncle, he ran out after him.
Thank you, Mr. Bai. Hongwen hurriedly thanked Mr. Bai, but there was nothing I could do about it. If the Sixth Young Master was blown up by firecrackers, it would not be enough for me even if I died ten thousand times. As she said that, she followed him at a trot.
Xu Lingyi was sitting and talking with Liang Ge Lao Dou Ge Lao Wang Li and others. The young man came in and reported that the Sixth Young Master was here. A warm smile suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Although Liang Ge Lao and others remained calm, drinking tea and talking, they all glanced at the door from the corners of their eyes.
Brother Jin walked in calmly and bowed respectfully to all the adults. Xu Lingyi called him in front of him: "Why did you come here? Your mother, your mother is talking to her aunts and uncles."
He spoke in a loud and authentic voice, I want to set off firecrackers, but Manager Bai said that I need your permission. I will come to find you. As he said that, he looked at Xu Lingyi with his mouth pouted, "Daddy, I want to set off firecrackers."
Listening to his tone, Xu Lingyi seemed to have found a lot of people, and none of them gave him firecrackers. Although he didn't understand the process, his son was so young, and he could find him all the way, and he could still be clear in front of so many people.
