Maid's Survival Manual

Chapter 247
Jing Yunxian left that day, but before leaving, she generously left a middle-aged steward behind for Manman.Isn't she going to take care of Huangzhuang?After all, it is inconvenient for a woman to show up in public, anyway, he is not bad for such a personal command, so he simply left it to her.

Although Manman agreed that she would bear all the expenses in the future, and Jing Yunxian also agreed, but every now and then, someone would send Manman fresh vegetables, fresh meat and other items, and even the rouge Both gouache and cloth jewelry are available.

Jing Yunxian came here almost every two or three months.

When I came here, I just teased Brother Jun, asked if Manman lived happily and if there was anything she needed, and the rest rarely even met.

It's as if Manman is just a guest living here, or a steward who takes care of the village for him.Manman wanted to talk to him about the accounts several times, but Jing Yunxian waved his hand and said, "You can take care of it, I don't have any money anyway."

Manman didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she didn't ask him for money, how could he be so clear-cut?
Manman doesn't have any big ambitions, she just thinks that the scenery here is really good, and if it's a little tidy, maybe in the coming year this place will become a scenic spot that the whole capital will flock to.

Even if it is Huangzhuang, outsiders are not allowed to come, but it is not bad just to appreciate it.

Manman is only responsible for thinking of ideas, and the specific responsibility falls to the middle-aged manager.He claims to be Zhu and his name is Zhu Fu. He looks only about 30 years old. He is a loyal man, but he is very skillful and intelligent. If Manman has any ideas, he will immediately infer other things from one instance and understand them well after explaining them a little. He does not need Manman at all. Trouble.

Man Man and Si Long also said: "Where did the Ninth Prince find this Zhu Fu? He is really a very powerful talent."

Si Long smiled and said: "What is the identity of the Ninth Prince? If he wants people, aren't they all the most capable people in the world? Besides, there must be brave men under heavy rewards, and the Ninth Prince is not short of money. Do those who matter most wish to serve him?"

Some strings in Manman's brain seemed to be touched, but it only made a buzzing sound, which failed to arouse the aftertaste.She glanced at Si Long, some words came to her lips, but she didn't know what to say, so she laughed at herself, "It's probably because I'm old, and I wanted to say something just now, but I forgot when I got to my lips."

Si Long fell down with a smile: "Miss, what are you talking about? You are not even in your twenties, why do you say you are old?"

The two laughed for a while, Manman said: "Bring me the latest account, I will calculate how much money is left. Speaking of which, our money is almost spent, right?"

Si Long paused for a moment, then said: "It's true that the expenses these days are quite high, just the material costs and labor costs for road construction, and hiring people to set up various food stalls, it will cost a lot, let alone people like us Food, clothing, housing and transportation. Seeing the weather turn cold, I bought another thousand catties of silver silk charcoal..."

Manman laughed at herself, and asked Si Long, "Is this called sitting and eating? But it doesn't matter, at least there is a Wuweiju to support us. Speaking of which, there are people going here on a monthly basis in the past few months." Send money?"

Si Long nodded and said: "Yes, yes, because we are far away, they are sent back every two months, and even the account is sent together. You said you didn't have time to read it, and the slaves have always kept it... "

Manman really didn't have much savings in his hands, after all the calculations, it was almost spent.Si Long poured a cup of hot tea for her, and said, "Girl, before leaving the mansion, Sixth Lord—"

When Manman Lengding heard him mention Chen Yunzheng, his mind didn't turn around for a moment, and his eyes fell on Si Long's face in a daze.Si Long shuddered, and said bravely, "The Sixth Master gave this servant a box. According to my servant's opinion, it should be a bank note. If the girl is in short supply, why don't I use it first..."

Manman came back to her senses, sighed and said, "Forget it, it's not that far yet."

Like all women, Manman is a divorced widow.The money Chen Yunzheng gave her, no matter how much she gave, could not make up for the hatred in her heart.If he is willing to pay, it can only be said that he has a conscience, but it is only a fee for mental damage. It is not a last resort, and she doesn't want to use it, don't want to touch it, and she doesn't even want to look at it.

Si Long didn't say a word, the two of them spoke a few more words, and Si Long withdrew.

Fast forward to the end of October.

Si Long came over to ask for instructions: "Girl's birthday is coming, how will you spend this year?"

Speaking of which, Manman didn't celebrate her birthday in a serious way, and this year she didn't want to be too surprised, so she said, "It doesn't need to be too lively, just call Boss Ling and the others, and let's have a reunion and have a meal together." .”

Si Long was a little dissatisfied: "You are too good at dealing with it. In the past, there was no way. Due to the limited conditions, it was not so lively. This year we are free, so why not have a good time? Don't worry about it, I will arrange it myself."

Manman had no choice but to say: "Okay, it's up to you to arrange, anyway, it's just eating and drinking, what new tricks can there be?"

Si Long thought for a while and said, "Anyway, no one cares about this place, and this servant is turning a blind eye to Madam Su, why don't we go into the city and have a look?"

If there's anything wrong with this place, it's that it's too deserted.The villagers live far away, even if it is near, no one dares to come to Huangzhuang.As for selling odd brains, there is nothing else.Manman has nothing to do, she doesn't pay much attention to dressing, and Jing Yunxian also donates fabrics, jewelry, and rouge.Manman didn't use it very much, and gave Si Long all the rouge and gouache, but he didn't dare to give away the jewelry fabric at will. Who knows if it came from the palace?She didn't even dare to use it herself, for fear of violating the rules, let alone Si Long?
Girls love to go shopping, and they all like to be lively. Manman understands it very well, and said: "Pick a day with good weather, go early and return early."

Si Long said, "Young lady, aren't you going?"

Manman felt very conscious of being locked up, she shook her head and said, "I'm not going, let's stay at home with Brother Jun."

Si Long encouraged her: "Brother Jun has been bored here for a long time, I'm afraid I'm tired of it, why don't you take Brother Jun with you."

Manman is a talkative person, once encouraged by Si Long, she said impatiently: "Forget that I'm afraid of you, then, choose a date and let's go out for a stroll."

While talking, it has been more than five months since I left the capital.Manman is now a free person and not subject to anyone, thinking that it would be okay to go out, so she followed Slong, selected a date, prepared the car, packed up briefly, and planned to go to the city to have a look.

It was indeed a sunny day, the rare clear sky, without even the slightest wind, although the sun had only just emerged, but the air was obviously warm.

Manman was still afraid of changing weather, so he put a jacket on Brother Jun and asked someone to take a cape.He was too hot to wear it, so he had to wrap it up just in case.Hearing that he was going into the city, Brother Jun was also a little excited, holding the curtain of the car, and kept looking out of the car.Manman was afraid that he would fall, and he refused to be honest while hugging him, so she put both hands on his waist, for fear that the car would bump and hit his head.

Along the way, Si Long and Si Long were laughing and chirping, just like a bird coming out of the cage to let the wind out. Manman laughed and said, "Look at how excited you are, if I had known this, I would send you into the city for whatever reason." .”

Si Ling said: "That's good, girl, remember to send more errands to the servants."

Si Long smiled and said, "Girl, don't listen to her. Even if you want to come out, you can't let only one person come. This time, Si Zhen and Si Yi have no chance. If you don't say anything, you will be holding your breath."

Manman smiled and sighed: "I'll arrest you guys, I'll do this in the future."

After entering the city, Manman said to Si Long: "You two go shopping, I will take brother Jun to Wuweiju to have a look, and we will gather there later."

They came out early, although the car was running slowly, but it was not yet noon, Si Long and Si Ling responded, saying: "Then the slaves will leave, and you and the young master should not go far. Wuweiju eat something first, and the servants will come to you later."

It looked like he didn't even bother to eat lunch.

Manman suppressed a smile and said: "Okay, you guys go away, I really can't buy it, so I won't go back tonight."

Si Ling said quickly: "That's the best, but where do we live at night?"

Si Long glared at her and said, "I'll give you a stick and you'll take it seriously. It's agreed that I'll go back today. Don't dawdle."

The two of them walked away, so Manman told the driver to go directly to Wuweiju.

When the time came, I asked the coachman to drive the car away by himself and find a place to rest. Manman took Brother Jun into Wuweiju.The little guy came out with a smile on his face: "Ma'am, please come in and see what you want to buy?"

Manman wore a mask, held Brother Jun by the hand, and said, "Is your shopkeeper here?"

The boy said, "Where are you?"

Manman said: "My surname is Su, I have something to discuss with your shopkeeper."

The little guy said courteously: "Please, I will go to the shopkeeper right away."

Manman led Brother Jun up the stairs, and another guy served tea, so Manman ordered two kinds of hot desserts at will, and brought them to Brother Jun for him to eat, while she waited patiently.

Soon shopkeeper Zhu went upstairs, saluted Manman and said, "Miss Su, are you here?" His attitude was extremely respectful.He is Mr. Zhu, the former accountant. In fact, Manman is not very familiar with him, because Mr. Zhu was very dissatisfied with her in the initial account transaction.Later, when the shop was transferred to Chen Yunzheng, Manman came even less, she didn't even care about the accounts, let alone the management of the place, she didn't even bother to think about what she loved. Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhu is very respectful to her.

Manman also bowed and said: "Mr. Zhu has become the shopkeeper? Congratulations."

Mr. Zhu wiped the sweat from his brow, and said, "Sixth Master just let me take care of it for now."

Manman didn't have the time to talk to him about people and things in the past, so she smiled and asked him to sit down, and said: "I checked the account book you asked someone to send, and the business has been good recently, but the style of snacks is a bit lacklustre. There are always so many things over and over again, people are getting tired of eating..."

Mr. Zhu echoed, "You're right, I think so too..."
