But the young master finally said that they should listen to the lady.
And the lady just said that he doesn’t have to lie down and can walk around the house!
Xuezhu figured it out and immediately got up, took out the broom and rag hidden under the bed, and started cleaning the side room frantically.
He has been enduring for five days.
Every day, the lady's maid would come to sweep the floor and wipe the table for him.
But! Although the candy given by the maid sister was very sweet, she really couldn’t sweep or wipe it clean.
Now it's fine. Xuezhu cleaned the house inside and out three times.
It was actually very clean after three times, but Xuezhu was really uncomfortable and cleaned it three more times.
Then, he took out the embroidery he had hidden under the bed, sat on the bed with his legs crossed, grabbed the embroidery needle, and began to embroider the picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water with great concentration and without distraction.
This is Xiu's gift to the maid who comes to clean and give him candy every day these days.
The maid who rarely cleans the floor since Xuezhu came into being is called Ayang.
Ayang has a lover in her heart, but she can't embroider. However, she wants to give him a purse embroidered with a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water.
Therefore, since Ayang knew that Xuezhu's embroidery was better than that of the embroiderers in the cloth shop, she specially used a bag of candy and secretly asked Xuezhu to agree to embroider a purse for her.
Of course, Xuezhu kept some of her attention outside the door.
As long as he felt someone coming in, he could instantly stuff his things back under the bed and lie back down.
Xuezhu was embroidering here, and when Manager Yuan saw Ji Yunxi coming out of Xuezhu's room, he went to find Ji Yunxi with a wooden box of letters.
"Madam." Steward Yuan bowed respectfully and placed a box of letters on the table in front of Ji Yunxi. "These are the letters that need to be processed."
Ji Yunxi looked at the box.
The box was about half a foot long, but it was filled with two piles of things.
All together, there are at least several hundred letters.
Ji Yunxi watched quietly without saying anything.
But Manager Yuan felt a chill.
He coughed lightly, cursed the young master in his heart, and then became more respectful: "The young master said before he left, if you can handle it, please help to sort it out. If you can't, let the young master come back and sort it out."
Ji Yunxi's lips curled up into a cold smile: "When was the last time he sorted out mail?"
Manager Yuan said, "It should have been during the time in Qingzhou."
Yes.
On the way from Shangjing City to Qingzhou, Ji Yunxi was thinking about opening a branch of the cloth shop while he was also replying to the letter.
But on the way from Qingzhou to Liangzhou, Ji Yunxi never saw him open a letter again. He was either eating or sleeping.
At that time, Ji Yunxi didn't think anything of it.
But until this moment, Ji Yunxi suddenly understood.
Oh shit.
He estimated that after that night in Qingzhou, he had already thought of a series of arrangements in Liangzhou.
Including throwing things to her.
He expected she wouldn't refuse.
Ji Yunxi would not refuse.
The opportunity was in front of her, so of course she wanted to know what he did on a daily basis, what kind of power was behind him, and why he went to the capital.
Simply to get promoted and make money?
She doesn't believe it.
Ji Yunxi closed her eyes, calmed down for a moment, and asked Manager Yuan, "Since there are so many letters, why did you only give them to me today?"
Manager Yuan also didn't understand, so he could only answer honestly: "That was also what the young master ordered."
Ji Yunxi frowned slightly.
But suddenly, she understood.
Coincidentally, she had her period the night he left, and it was almost over today.
Oh shit.
Ji Yunxi cursed again.
This man died in Youshan, never come back!
Manager Yuan didn't even dare to breathe.
It’s strange to say, since the young master is good at martial arts, it’s okay for him to be a little afraid of him.
But why didn't the lady have any skills at all? Manager Yuan was a little afraid.
The lady was usually very kind to Baofu, speaking softly to him. She was also very nice to Xuezhu, coaxing her like a child.
Manager Yuan thought that the lady was easy to get along with, but it was not until now, after he actually found Ji Yunxi, that he realized it.
Madam and Young Master, no wonder they can become husband and wife.
Ji Yunxi glanced at Manager Yuan calmly: "Do you have anything else to do?"
Manager Yuan sighed in his heart, thinking that although the young master is now free from worries, he has suffered a lot.
Manager Yuan moved his lips and said, "One more thing."
Ji Yunxi: "Speak."
Manager Yuan's face looked even older. "Young Master, you have a few small escort agencies under your command. But with the recent heavy rains in Jiangnan, the grain they transported has gotten damp and moldy. The owner of the grain store is asking for compensation..."
Ji Yunxi raised her eyebrows first: "He actually has an escort agency under his command?"
Yuan Guanshi lowered his eyes and said, "Yes."
Ji Yunxi frowned slightly: "Since we are in Jiangnan and it is the rainy season, why didn't he take precautions in advance?"
Manager Yuan said: "Well, the young master never takes care of these matters. They are all handled by the people from the escort agency."
Ji Yunxi was silent for a while, her tone filled with undisguised contempt: "Then what does he care about? Paying the money?"
Ji Yunxi pointed at the wooden box and asked, "Is there a reply letter?"
Yuan Guanshi said nothing, just taking it as his agreement.
He originally wanted to defend the young master, but after thinking about it, there was nothing to defend.
After a while, Manager Yuan said with a stern face, "Madam, the money from the gambling house and the cloth shop was used elsewhere, and the escort agency will probably lose two thousand taels in total..."
Ji Yunxi glanced at him indifferently.
Manager Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he said hurriedly, "No, one thousand taels is enough."
Ji Yunxi smiled faintly: "Why, is this also what your master told you to do?"
Steward Yuan hurriedly shook his head. He could finally defend the young master. "No, madam, you misunderstood. I quoted a high price to prevent you from keeping the money. You have always had this habit. I just said it casually and couldn't change it at the moment. You have never said anything like this before. I hope madam will not misunderstand."
