Chapter 32: Scrambling for work!



The next day, Murong Shu got up very early. Xiao Tao was startled when she opened the gate and exclaimed, "General, Second Master, First Young Master, Second Young Master... Why are you here so early?"

"Is your young lady up yet?" Mousse squeezed to the front and asked Xiaotao.

"The young lady said that she has a lot of things to prepare personally today. She has already washed up. You all come in and wait for her." Xiao Tao felt a little headache looking at this group of people.

"Hey, we'll be waiting for Shu'er in the yard. Go call your young lady." Mousse was the first to successfully cross the door of Guiningyuan, followed closely by Mu Shi.

Xiao Tao could only go and call her own lady first. Several people sat in the yard and all looked eagerly in the direction of Murong Shu's door.

Murong Shu didn't delay for long. Seeing so many people in the yard, he greeted them, "Good morning, Daddy, Second Uncle, and brothers."

"Shu'er is up."

"Sister, wake up. Did you sleep well last night?"

"Shu'er, come and sit here. Your uncle has cleaned the stool for you."

Several people were talking to each other, surrounding Murong Shu and showing their concern, while Xiao Tao stood silently by the side.

Fortunately, Murong Shu wrote today's work list for several people yesterday and asked Xiaotao to distribute it to them.

"Shu'er, why is Daddy cutting lamb skewers and beef skewers? What are these?"

"Sister, why does big brother want to sharpen bamboo sticks?"

"Shu'er, why should I grind the herbs into powder?"

"Don't ask any more questions. Once the food arrives, I'll show you how to make it. Let's have breakfast first. I've notified the kitchen to prepare breakfast early today."

Murong Shu really didn't want to explain to them one by one now, so he arranged for them to have breakfast first. The world is big, but eating is the most important thing.

No one wanted to go back to their own courtyard, so Xiao Tao went to the kitchen and asked someone to deliver breakfast directly to Guiningyuan so that they could help the young lady with the work after eating, so as to avoid running around and wasting time.

As soon as breakfast was finished, the housekeeper came over with what Murong Shu wanted, including a barbecue grill, a small hot pot, etc.

Murong Shu had someone escort him directly to the room, and then took his father, second uncle and brothers to the large lawn in front of Guiningyuan to arrange a place for lunch.

Murong Shu ordered people to bring the table, stools, and even the tablecloth.

There are ceramic bottles placed on each table, and each bottle contains a fresh flower, which is unique and beautiful.

Several people watched Murong Shu directing the servants in an orderly manner to arrange the lawn like a magic trick, and soon the lawn looked brand new.

"Sister, you are so awesome. Is there anything else you want to do?" Several brothers rushed to help.

"Then Third Brother, Fourth Brother, help me try to draw some patterns on it."

"Don't worry Shu'er, we will complete the task."

"Shu'er, what can we do to help?"

"Xiao Tao, take the things to daddy, big brother and second brother to have a look." Murong Shu instructed Xiao Tao who was beside him.

"Miss, please wait a moment. I will get it right away." Xiao Tao hurried into the house to get the bamboo sticks that Murong Shu had made yesterday.

"Sister, what is this?" The eldest and second brothers were very curious.

"These are bamboo sticks. We'll use them for grilling meat later. Can you please help Shu'er make some, uncle, big brother, second brother, and dad?"

"Don't worry, Shu'er. Daddy is the best at this. How much do you want, Shu'er?" Mu Shi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not asked to paint.

"Then Daddy, let's make a basket for Shu'er first." Murong Shu pointed at the basket in Xiaotao's hand.

Murong Shu's words stunned Mu Shi, Mu Sishu, and Mu Siyuan (the second brother). Why did Shuer sign so many signatures?

Although several people had doubts in their hearts, they did not dare to ask too much, for fear that Murong Shu would despise them. In their hearts, whatever Shu said was right, and they would do whatever Shu asked them to do.

Murong Shu had someone deliver the bamboo yesterday and asked Xiao Tao to take a few people to move the bamboo. Mousse usually didn't have the opportunity, but today he finally got the chance to show off.

Several of his nephews were outdone by him because he made bamboo sticks quickly and well. After being praised by Murong Shu, he was so overwhelmed that he even ran to Mu Shi to show off.

Not long after breakfast, Rong Yunnan and Mrs. Rong came to visit. Rong Qing was very happy to see his mother and second brother. "Mother, second brother, why did you come so early? Have you had breakfast?"

"We have all had breakfast. You sent someone home yesterday to tell them to come early today. Your second brother got up early in the morning to wait for mother." Mother Rong wanted to laugh when she thought of her son getting up before dawn.

Rong Qing also smiled after hearing this. She knew that her second brother seldom went out in recent years, so he was very excited to be invited to the house.

"Yunnan is the person our Shu'er specifically asked to arrive early, so it's only natural for him to come early. It's just that it's hard for mother." Rong Qing joked.

"Sister, please stop teasing Yunnan. Isn't today a day off? Why don't I see my brother-in-law and nephews?" Rong Yunnan thought that he and his mother came too early and they were not awake yet.

"Hey, as soon as they heard Shu'er asking them for help, they went to wait at the gate of the courtyard before dawn. There was no way to stop them, so I just let them go." Rong Qing said with a headache.

"Shu'er is already up!" Rong Yunnan was very surprised.

"They should be awake by now. Shu'er doesn't like to sleep in, so he wakes up very early every day. They went so early today, so I guess they've already started working."

"Then sister, please accompany mother back to the house to talk. I will go find my brother-in-law and nephews, and see if Shu'er needs my help." Hearing that his brother-in-law and nephews might have been busy, Rong Yunnan could not sit still.

"Mother, you see my second brother is still like a child. I'll arrange for someone to take you there, and by the way, move the things that Shu'er asked you to bring yesterday. They should be needed today."

"Thank you, sister. I'm also very curious about what Shu'er wants. Yunnan is a good opportunity to go and broaden his horizons." Yunnan hurriedly explained because he was afraid that his mother and sister would misunderstand him.

"Just go without worry. Mother and I won't blame you. Chuntao will ask the housekeeper to move all the things Shu'er wants from the carriage. You can take the Second Young Master there in person and tell the Second Master not to come back."

Rong Qing gave instructions to Chuntao, the maid beside him. Chuntao was the maid Rong Qing brought from her natal family as a dowry. She was the most loyal to her mistress and the most steady in her work.

This is Guiningyuan.

Murong Shu was the first to see Rong Yunnan, and he started waving from a distance, "Uncle Yunnan, this way." When Rong Yunnan arrived and saw several people busy in front of the yard gate, he was a little confused.

"Shu'er, what are you doing?"

"Uncle Yunnan, please take a rest for a while. We are preparing lunch. You will need your help later. Everyone has to do it by their own to eat today." Murong Shu explained to Rong Yunnan.

"Hello, uncle!"

"Hello, Uncle Yunnan!"

Several younger generations hurried over to pay their respects.

Rong Yunnan also greeted General Mu and his brother-in-law. Mousse was peeling bamboo sticks seriously and was about to get up and go back when he heard his mother-in-law was coming.

But Chun Tao stopped him, "Second Master, Madam said that Fifth Miss's matter is important, and she wants to talk to the old lady. You can go back later!"

When he heard his wife told him not to go back, Mousse sat down obediently and started cutting bamboo sticks.
