After saying this, Wang Cai also knew that the steward would definitely not believe what he said, so in order to change the subject, he just looked at the steward and said, "By the way, steward, can I ask you a question?"
The steward replied, "What's the problem?"
Wang Cai then immediately whispered, "You said that Ma Yuan has been doing a good job here. He was promoted a while ago and his monthly salary is one or two more. If I were him, I wouldn't leave. After all, don't leave." Where can such good treatment be found in this place? Why would he stop doing such a good thing now that he just said he wouldn’t do it?”
Hearing Wang Cai's question, a hint of embarrassment appeared on the steward's face, but in the end he smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't know about that. After all, I have my own ideas. Maybe he picked it up." The tall branch must have flown up to the tall branch."
Hearing the steward's words, Wang Cai just smiled and said, "Really? Then this kid is really not interesting."
At this moment, the manager had determined that Ma Yuan should not have told Wang Cai about that matter.
So the manager immediately dropped the subject and said, "By the way, Wang Cai, I asked you to gather in the lobby. You quickly call the brothers in the garden to go to the lobby. I have to hurry up and notify the next family."
After saying this, the steward was about to leave, but Wang Cai took the steward's hand at this moment, "Steward, what's going on, sir? What are you gathering for? Is there something good you want to announce?"
Hearing Wang Cai's question, the person in charge said impatiently, "Why do you talk so much nonsense? I asked you to come over, won't it be over if you go over?"
When Wang Cai heard what the steward said, he was not angry. He just said to the steward, "Steward, I'm just curious. Just tell me and let me hear what you have to say."
Hearing Wang Cai's words, the manager felt that if he hadn't said anything, the boy would have been able to keep him from letting him go. After thinking about it, the manager secretly said to Wang Cai, "Okay, considering that you're not a bad boy on weekdays." For the sake of being sensible, I will secretly tell you what is going on in this yard, but I have told you, and you cannot tell anyone else."
Wang Cai heard this and immediately said, "That's natural."
After seeing Wang Cai nodding, the steward signaled Wang Cai to come closer to him. Then after Wang Cai approached him, the steward whispered, "Actually, this time, I heard what the boss meant. He seems to be planning to take over the people in the mansion." Drive everyone out!"
"Kick them all out!" Wang Cai said in surprise.
The steward immediately glared at Wang Cai, and Wang Cai only looked around cautiously. Fortunately, it was lunch break and there was no one in the garden, so no one was eavesdropping.
But after that, Wang Cai still lowered his voice, "Then I am also from the previous group. Do you mean that I will also be driven away?"
After hearing what Wang Cai said, the manager said, "I guess so."
Wang Cai immediately wondered, "Wouldn't that mean I lose my job?"
After hearing what Wang Cai said, the manager said, "Actually, this is also a good thing for you. Let me tell you, after you old people leave, you don't just pack up and leave. I heard that the master plans to give you twenty taels each." Where's the severance pay? With these twenty taels of silver, go buy a few acres of thin farmland in the countryside. If you're lucky, you might be able to become a landlord. This is a very kind gesture from the master."
When Wang Cai heard this, he just nodded, "That's true. Although the Zhou family's job is stable, it seems not bad to get twenty taels at once, but it will cost a lot of money, right? Miss, can you agree?" "
When the steward saw the king, he asked, "How can you disagree? The master said this is what the lady meant."
Wang Cai obviously didn't believe what the steward said, but he still smiled and said to the steward, "That's great, we are very lucky."
The steward said enviously, "Who says it's not the case?"
After saying this, the two of them parted ways.
However, after Wang Cai left with the housekeeper, he did not immediately notify his brothers who were resting in the garden. He just hurried to Miss Zhou Yaoniang's residence.
However, when he arrived at the outskirts of the yard, he found that there were two guards guarding the door of the young lady's yard.
There are very few people coming in and out here, and even if someone does come in and out, they will be strictly scrutinized by the two nurses.
Looking at this situation, Wang Cai did not feel that this arrangement was to protect Zhou Yaoniang. On the contrary, he only felt that it was a disguised form of imprisoning Zhou Yaoniang.
Moreover, from the words he heard from everyone during this period, Wang Cai always felt that this uncle was plotting something, and it was obvious that he had evil intentions.
Although the housekeeper said that the purpose of driving away all the old maids and slaves was to sell off assets, now that the wife is dead, everything is meaningless.
Moreover, he replaced a large number of old servants in the Zhou Mansion. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a rat in the gutter preparing to change his family.
Wang Cai has feelings for the Zhou family. Although he is just a slave, his master has never treated him badly. Moreover, he grew up in the Zhou family. Now he sees that his family may be replaced by a villain. His master He might also be plotted against, so how could he be willing to do so.
So when he saw this situation, he felt that he should do something more.
It's just that the front door is currently being guarded, and even the back door is being guarded. In this iron barrel-like situation, Wang Cai can't get in.
But soon his eyes wandered around the yard, and a bold idea took shape in his mind.
He was familiar with this courtyard. The courtyard where the eldest lady lived was close to Langshan. It would not be a big problem if he took a rope to hang down from Langshan. Moreover, Langshan was high, making it easier for him to see the courtyard clearly. situation.
Wang Cai is a man of action. Now that he is optimistic about action, he naturally has his own set of principles of action.
He took out a long rope from the utility room in the garden, and then he went around to the back of Langshan.
From the heights of the back mountain, he could easily see the situation in Zhou Yaoniang's yard clearly.
Nowadays, there are not many people in Zhou Yaoniang's inner courtyard. Except for Xinghua, who is carrying water back and forth, the rest of the people there are familiar faces.
It seems that Xu Tianyi has not replaced the people in the young lady's room. If he replaces all these people, then he may not really encounter any trouble when he enters the room today.
But now they are just a few acquaintances. Naturally, he doesn't have to worry so much.
Thinking of this, Wang Cai immediately picked a strong camphor tree, and then he tied the rope tightly to the trunk of the camphor tree.
After doing this, he tied the rope and climbed down bit by bit.
Because the place where he came down was in the shade at the back of the yard, a place that most people would not come to.
So Wang Cai climbed into his yard from the camphor tree very smoothly.
After that, he counted the order of the rooms, and after roughly determining which room was the main room, he turned over and climbed in from the window sill.
After climbing over the window sill, Xinghua just happened to bring water in. When she saw a big man suddenly rolling into the room, Xinghua almost screamed in fright. Read the book
Fortunately, Wang Cai reacted in time. He immediately looked up at Xinghua, showed his own face and said, "Xinghua is me!"
Xinghua finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Wang Cai clearly. However, although Wang Cai was not an outsider, he was still a man, so Xinghua said to Wang Cai very vigilantly, "Wang Cai, come here." do what?"
Wang Cai also knew that he could easily be misunderstood, so he immediately explained, "Xinghua, I came here to tell the lady some important news."
"What important news?" Xinghua was still full of doubts.
However, Wang Cai was obviously wary of Xinghua.
After all, so many old people have been driven away, but Xinghua has been kept here. Who knows that Xinghua was not bribed by her uncle?
So Wang Cai just said, "I want to see the lady, and I can't speak until I see the lady."
Seeing what Wang Cai said, Xinghua sighed and said, "It's useless for you to meet Miss. Miss is unconscious now."
Wang Cai immediately asked in a low voice, "Why are you unconscious?"
Xinghua then sighed again, "I
How do you know? In the past few days, from the time when the young lady kept coughing, to coughing up blood, and now to the recurring high fever that persists, I don't know what I did wrong. The doctor also prescribed medicine, and I prepared the medicine for the young lady as instructed, but the young lady's body was still getting weaker day by day. "
Hearing Xinghua say this, Wang Cai felt that things were not that simple for some reason. He just raised his head and said to Xinghua, "Xinghua, can I go see the lady?"
Xinghua naturally had no objection to this.
Soon Wang Cai saw Zhou Yaoniang. Her eyes were closed tightly, her brows were furrowed, and she seemed to be restless in her dream.
Her face was crimson and her forehead was hot. It looked like she had a high fever.
"Xinghua, the doctor said what kind of illness does the lady have?"
Xinghua sighed and said, "It seems to be the wind and cold."
Wang Cai then continued, "Then why don't you let the young lady go for medical treatment outside?"
Hearing Wang Cai's words, Xinghua whispered, "My uncle refused to let her go. He said he was afraid that the cold would make the young lady worse outside, so the only way to treat the disease was to invite a doctor from Renshan Hall."
After saying this, Xinghua started to twist the handkerchief again and prepared to cover Zhou Yaoniang's forehead.
At the same time, Xinghua just said to Wang Cai, "By the way, Wang Cai, what are you doing here?"
After hearing Xinghua's words, Wang Cai no longer had much doubt, so he just whispered, "I'm actually here to tell the lady that something happened to the lady."
Hearing this, Xinghua, who was washing the handkerchief, couldn't help being frightened and dropped the handkerchief into the basin. The water vapor in the basin dispersed in all directions.
"What? What happened? What do you mean?"
Seeing Xinghua's reaction, Wang Cai knew that Xinghua didn't know anything.
So he carefully looked around, and when he saw no one around, he lowered his voice and said more carefully, "It was the kind of accident you thought. My wife is gone. I heard she committed suicide. Just so as not to drag the lady down." "
