The yard was exceptionally clean, without a single fallen leaf or trace of snow.
The snow that fell a few days ago was all swept into a corner by the wall and pressed flat, just like the tofu blocks stacked by the instructors during military training.
It should be the masterpiece of the sweeping servant we just saw, but now, the man has disappeared.
Ji Yunxi thought for a moment and asked Wu Er, who was following her: "I heard that there are only four servants at home. Is that enough?"
Wu Er paused, sniffed his red nose, and spoke the truth: "Third Miss, although there are few servants at home, they are all capable and efficient. Besides, the house is not big, so it is enough for us."
"That's great." Ji Yunxi nodded and went to the front yard.
Logically speaking, when Ji Yunxi came to visit the Wu family, the women of the Wu family should have come to receive her.
But Ji Yunxi hasn't seen any female members of the Wu family yet.
The front yard was also quiet, with only two figures visible.
A little boy and Tang Hu giving candied haws to the boy.
Tang Hu saw the newcomer and bowed with a smile on his face: "Third Miss!"
Ji Yunxi hummed and glanced at the child: "Second Young Master, who is this?"
Wu Er introduced her: "This is my little brother."
Wu Qi and his wife had a son in their old age, and the third son of the Wu family is only three years old now.
Everyone in the Wu family wears a lot of clothes, and the children are no exception.
He was stuffed into a fat penguin by his mother, standing in the corridor, holding a candied haws in his hand, looking at Ji Yunxi with some curiosity but also some vigilance.
Ji Yunxi looked at the child and said, "Second Master, are Madam Wu and the other young ladies here?"
"Mother and sisters are here," Wu Er replied, "but my brother said you don't need to see the third young lady. It's just unnecessary."
These are the eldest brother's original words. He should just respond like this when Miss Ji San asks him.
But Miss Ji San went to the backyard as soon as she arrived, and no one could stop her, so no one asked these questions.
Wu Er still felt that his brother's instructions might have been in vain this time.
These three girls look different from ordinary girls, so they may not ask.
Unexpectedly, Miss Ji San still asked.
My brother has always been very good at guessing what people think of in this world.
Ji Yunxi nodded when she heard it: "Okay."
That’s good, because it means there will be no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and no complications in the harem.
"In that case, I'll leave first." Ji Yunxi bowed slightly to Wu Er, and left the Wu Mansion with a group of servants.
As soon as Ji Yunxi left, Wu Weian walked out of the room.
He threw all the banknotes given by Ji Yunxi to the housekeeper.
The butler counted them carefully, put them in his pocket, and said with a fist: "Sir, there is still half missing."
Wu Weian is a master with a good temperament and has always been very stable.
When facing the people below me, I always have a good face that shows that I absolutely trust you and I love you.
Therefore, those subordinates who don’t know Wu Weian all think that he is a kind and good master.
I am deeply moved every time I come into contact with it.
The round-faced steward scoffed at this.
After following him closely for these years, he discovered that his young master was actually raising pigs.
I feed the pigs delicious food and drink every day, and say with a smile, "I hope you grow up quickly."
After fattening it up, you can slaughter it with a smile.
Even such a person who can smile in any situation will not be able to smile when facing debt collection.
He said with a cold face: "Three thousand taels is not enough?"
The round-faced steward said, "Yes. And in a few days, the Western Regions will probably..."
"Got it." Wu Weian rubbed his brows. "How are the shops in Pingjiang?"
The round-faced manager said, "The shop does make some money, but it's just a drop in the bucket. Young Master has expanded his online shop quite a bit over the years."
Business is not easy to do these days, and the Dayu Dynasty is involved in both the business and official circles.
Behind those profitable businesses, there are powerful families.
Therefore, it is difficult for their people to enter the market and they dare not act rashly.
Any movement will affect the entire body and alert the enemy.
But if we have the support of the Ji family, this problem can be easily solved.
The round-faced steward said boldly, "Forgive me for speaking frankly, but marrying the third daughter of the Ji family..."
Wu Weian glanced at him.
The steward fell silent, bent his knees and knelt down, bowed his head deeply and dared not say anything more.
Wu Wei'an stood under the pomegranate tree in the yard, tossing the heater in his hand from time to time, his eyes dark and unclear.
After a while, amid the steward's anxiety, he said calmly, "Go down."
The manager breathed a sigh of relief and disappeared on the spot in a cold sweat.
Three people were standing far away in another corner of the yard.
Everyone was holding a string of candied haws in their hands.
Miss Ji San's servant distributed these to the servants in the courtyard, one string for each person.
Before Wu Weian came out, they gathered together and said a few good words about Miss Ji San.
The general meaning is that if the young master of the family marries her, no, if she is married into the family, they will be able to live a good life with a string of candied haws every day.
But it seems that their young master is not very happy.
The lady in the kitchen always liked to whisper in front of Wu Weian to express her dissatisfaction with her poor life.
This time was no exception, he whispered: "The third girl is really good, she has a lot of money."
Wu Weian looked over.
The three of them squatted down together at the first moment, used the bushes in the yard to block their figures, and glared at the lady in the kitchen.
Are you crazy? Didn’t you see that the round-faced manager knelt down?
You are still talking nonsense now. Are you trying to kill yourself?
The lady in the kitchen felt a little aggrieved and hugged herself.
Aren’t you allowed to tell the truth?
Wu Weian withdrew his gaze and turned back to his room.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, a gust of wind blew.
They subconsciously closed their eyes.
When they opened their eyes, the candied haws in their hands were gone.
