Chapter 94 - Walking in the middle of the night?
You should know that in the last life, Mrs. Bai did not cooperate with her daughter-in-law in order to make things difficult. Just after Duan Qingming got married, she pushed all the housework to the new bride.
Therefore, Duan Qingming in his previous life not only managed the huge dowry, but also all the industries in Ning'an Baifu. At that time, she was also at a loss because of the difficulties of the shopkeepers. Fortunately, Duan Qingming adapted quickly and quickly grew into a qualified housekeeper in less than half a year!
Since then, the rapid rise of Ning'an Baifu is inseparable from Duan Qingming's efforts. You know, such a huge family business can't flourish without a wise and decisive leader!
And Duan Qingming, as early as that time, developed the habit of dealing with all kinds of stewmers and businessmen, and first deterring everyone between words and deeds!
The room is extremely quiet. Duan Qingming slowly took a sip of tea and spoke majestically:
"You have worked hard for a year, and you have made great contributions to keeping my warehouse abundant. Here, on behalf of my father, I would like to thank you!"
The stewsman quickly opened their mouths and didn't dare!
Originally, in everyone's hearts, the young lady of this Duan family was just a playful child, coming here and walking through the scene. But now, Duan Qingming's words have completely changed their thoughts!
In an hour, an idea surged in everyone's heart at the same time - that is, the eldest lady of this host family must not be easy to fool!
Looking at it, it's already late. At that time, Zhuangzi's management came to inform Duan Qingming in advance, saying that the meal was also ready.
Duan Qingming is the master. After asking everyone to use the meal, he ordered the steward of the village and M Mother Ning to start to arrange together. The nearest shopkeeper went back to rest. If it was a little far away, he stayed in Zhuangzi.
After arranging the affairs of the shopkeepers, Duan Qingming asked Xia Caoer to call Tiefeng, who was responsible for the safety of the women's and her. After discussing the defense at night with him, she repeatedly urged him to do a good job of vigil to prevent him from being taken advantage of by scheming people.
After dinner, Duan Qingming made a few words with the shopkeepers and asked them to report this year's harvest early tomorrow morning.
Since Duan Qingming got out of the car, he gave orders before and after the meal. All the stewards are careful and want to see what kind of means this young lady who is less than ten years old. Seeing that she arranged various affairs clearly and dealt with the questions and answers of the shopkeepers in an orderly manner, everyone began to admire her!
When everything settles down, it's already the first half of the night!
That night, there was no moon. There was silence on Zhuangzi, and only the sound of dog barking in the distance came faintly.
Duan Qingming has the habit of choosing a shop, so it is difficult to fall asleep in **.
I heard Duan Qingming turn upside down. Xia Caoer, who was in charge of the vigil, sat up and asked in a low voice:
"Miss, can't you sleep?"
Duan Qingming said with a wry smile:
"Yes, I can't sleep after changing the bed!"
Summer grass laughed "eating":
"I knew that the young lady couldn't sleep when she changed her bed, so she picked up Xiaohe's vigil!"
Xiaohe was supposed to be responsible for the vigil tonight, but Xia Caoer knew that Duan Qingming would not sleep, so she took the initiative to accompany her!
Duan Qingming stagnated and laughed and scolded:
"Don't think I don't know. You have the same habit as me. I'm afraid you can't sleep tonight, so you asked for this job?"
As soon as Xia Caoer heard it, she smiled with a typical happy expression of "cheap and obedient":
"Those who know me, miss!"
Since neither of them can sleep, they happen to have a talking companion. Duan Qingming did not let Xia Caoer light the lamp, so as not to disturb others. So, in the darkness, two of the main servants, one lay on the pedal, and the other lay **. The two began to talk to you, and I chatted.
It was not until the middle of the night that Duan Qingming faintly felt sleepy. Looking at Xia Caoer, she had already slept to death!
However, at this moment, a loud voice was suddenly heard outside the house:
"It's water, it's water!"
At the beginning, it was just a shout of one person, and then it became a shout of two people! Then, the lights in the village turned on, and countless people who were shocked quickly put on their clothes and ran out!
At present, winter is coming. Zhuangzi has stored a large amount of hay and so on. At this time, the sky is dry and windy. Once the water goes out, the consequences are unimaginable!
Xia Caoer was first awakened. She was shocked and sat up. Shout:
"Where is the water...? Where?"
In the dark, Duan Qingming's voice came steadily:
"Light the lamp first!"
Xia Caoer lit the lamp and saw that Duan Qingming had already sat up. She quickly found a dress to help Duan Qingming put it on. After picking it up a little, both of them walked out of the door!
Outside the house, the lights are bright. Countless pairs of eyes looked at the direction of the main house. It was not until Duan Qingming came out that everyone sighed gently!
Duan Qingming walked down the steps, looked at the people in the yard, and frowned slightly!
The steward in Zhuangzi is Xu Bo, who is about 40 years old. At this time, as soon as he saw his master getting up, he quickly came forward to apologize:
"Miss..."
You know, Xu Bo has been in charge of this village for more than ten years, like walking in the water, but things have never happened. And this young master, who is new here, doesn't know how scared he is!
In Xu Bo's heart, the feeling at this time was very subtle. He was not only glad that the other party was not a strict Aunt Liu, but also felt a little guilty about his dereliction of duty! Therefore, half of the gift was lost, and I don't know how to say the following words!
However, a light voice came from the top of his head:
"It's free. Let's see what's going on first!"
The voice was light and shallow, but with some irreversible sharpness. Xu Bo, the steward, was a sharp man in his heart, and he quickly stood up straight:
"Yes!"
M Mother Ning came over quickly. She held Duan Qingming's hand and asked:
"Miss, are you all right?"
When Miss first came to Zhuangzi, someone dared to play tricks in the dark. If she knew which one came from, she must break his leg!
Duan Qingming patted Mother Ning's hand soothingly and shook her head slightly:
"I'm fine!"
While talking, Tie Feng also came over. After hearing the call of walking water, he took the guards to search around before he came to Duan Qingming. At this time, he blocked everyone's sight with his body. After bowing to Duan Qingming, he whispered:
"Miss, when the guards were patrolling the night, they didn't find anyone. However, after the 'walking water' just now, our people rushed over and found this near the main house!"
Tiefeng opened his hand, and there was an exquisite fire fold in the palm of his hand!
Duan Qingming looked at the fire fold, and the dark light in her eyes flashed again and again. This is the voice that only two people heard:
"Our people are not injured, are they?"
Tiefeng shook his head:
"We didn't find any trace of each other at all!"
Duan Qingming frowned and looked at Mother Ning faintly. M Mother Ning was considerate and said to Xu Bo, the steward who stood far away:
"The young lady said that in the middle of the night, I don't know who is making such a joke to disturb everyone's rest. Now, the guards have found out that this matter is completely innocent. Now, let everyone go back to rest!"
Hearing this, the steward immediately dismissed the crowd. And when everyone heard that it was okay, they were relieved and went back to their rooms to rest!
All the people left. Except for Duan Qingming and his party, there was only Xu Bo, still standing there, seemingly at a loss! Duan Qingming smiled at Xu Bo:
"Xu Bo, now that it has been found to be a false alarm, you and all the stews, please go back to rest!"
Several other stewards who lived in Zhuangzi were also shocked. At this time, when they heard Duan Qingming's words, they also yawned and went back to the house to rest!
At the end, Xu Bo looked at Duan Qingming, looked at the serious iron peak, and saluted Duan Qingming, and then left step by step!
