Tian Zhuo on the side was startled and his eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn't help but pinch himself secretly to verify whether he was dreaming.
Zizhu was even more stunned. His half-blessed body remained in the same position until Xu Qing was lifted up by Princess Danyang.
"You're welcome, Master Xu. In the future, the Princess Mansion and I will have many things to rely on you for."
Xu Qing stood up and said humbly:
"It's my duty, Princess, there is no need to say thank you."
He behaves and speaks politely, but where is the slightest trace of his unruly behavior from the previous moment?
Zizhu and Tian Zhuo on the side were almost shocked.
This was the first time that Tian Zhuo saw his master "bending" to a powerful person.
Not to mention this, just when Princess Danyang left again, Xu Qing said again:
"The student can help the princess manage the family tomorrow, but as for the instruction of Prince Anyang, please allow me to meet with him tomorrow before making arrangements."
Of course, there is nothing wrong here in Danyang. "Master Xu estimates that if the body can handle it, I will do as you say. If you still feel uncomfortable after taking the hangover medicine for a while, then rest for two more days."
Xu Qing responded with his hands and respectfully walked to the door. He did not return to the inner room until he was stopped by Danyang.
Although Tian Zhuo watched the whole process, he couldn't believe it no matter what. He just felt like he was dreaming.
Even his arms were covered in bruises from being pinched by himself, and his eyes were still blurry and unable to wake up.
"Master?"
When Xu Qing walked up to him again, Tian Zhuo still looked dumbfounded and said.
After Xu Qing responded, he shook his head with a wry smile and sighed, and then couldn't help but sigh:
"Hey, you kid is already in trouble, and now you're involved in my troubles..."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and rubbed Tian Zhuo's hair, which was also thin and sparse due to not eating enough.
"Let me tell you first, what troubles there may be in the future. After that, you can decide for yourself whether to leave or stay."
While Xu Qing was being honest with his young apprentice, Danyang was also explaining to Zizhu about the various arrangements in the house in the future, and after observing the promotions in various places in the past few days, she had drawn up a list of people who were confirmed to be capable. The clothes and other items were brought to the guest house together.
Until now, Zizhu was still confused. He couldn't believe it and couldn't understand why the stubborn and smelly old man suddenly changed his attitude so much.
Danyang saw that Zizhu was in a state of confusion. He knew that she was still doubtful, but he had no intention of clearing her doubts at this moment.
Hearing is not as reliable as seeing. Although, sometimes what you see may not necessarily be true.
"By the way, where are the huge rocks that were moved back from Liu'er Hutong?"
Zizhu was stunned for a moment before she remembered her ugly stone that was as tall as a person.
"Let me tell the janitor to take that ugly thing to the corner of the back garden. They must have covered it with a coarse cloth by now."
After thinking of this, Zizhu felt more and more incomprehensible and felt that her princess was not worth it. She couldn't help but murmured in a low voice:
"Princess Princess, why are you so involved with that bad old man? As for people who want to make suggestions, the capital city doesn't catch them all?"
Hearing this, Danyang smiled and raised his hand to tap Zizhu's forehead, while sighing:
"Those who grab a handful, but dozens of them can't compare to this one. Besides, he is only in his 40s, and he is a bit sloppy when he is long. How can he be said to be a dying old man in your mouth?"
However, while talking, Danyang also recalled Xu Qing's face, which he had never looked at in detail before.
After thinking about this, I couldn't help but laugh and sigh in my heart.
Well, it seems that because I am a little too haggard, I look too old?
Coupled with his slovenly appearance and his bloodshot eyes after a hangover, hey, it's not unfair to be called "old man".
Even though he thought this in his mind, Danyang only said:
"You will take people to the back garden later, choose a good place close to the guest courtyard, move the stones there, and then ask the craftsmen in the mansion to find Xu Qing."
Zizhu was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Although he had to agree, he endured it until he saw that his princess had almost finished her instructions, and then asked curiously:
"Is the princess going to renovate somewhere in the palace? We don't know what the current Xu's ability is. Just leave all the errands to him and don't delay your business anymore..."
Before Zizhu could finish her nagging, she was interrupted by Princess Danyang who was dumbfounded and said:
"Where do I need it? You just follow the instructions and do the errands. You will know it soon. Oh, by the way, ask Li Qiang in the garden to help, and if no one of them can satisfy Xu Qing with his craftsmanship, then Let him send someone to call the Yaxing people."
When Zizhu heard this, there was no need to wait for the future, and he immediately guessed that it was arranged for that bad old man again.
She responded dully, and then she was patted twice on the head.
Danyang looked at the maid who looked up a little aggrieved and dissatisfied with her, looked at him gloomily, and said with a smile:
"People say that 'good birds choose trees to roost in', but my crooked-necked tree is really not that good right now. And even if you really want to ask others to do something for you, these small things should be done for them." .”
When Zizhu heard what her princess said, although she still despised the old man named Xu, she could clearly see the princess's determination to recruit this person.
Therefore, even if there were a thousand or ten thousand unwillingnesses, she would not say one more word "no" to hinder the princess.
Not only can she not break up the trouble, she also has to maintain a good attitude, share the princess's worries, and do her best to prevent the smelly old man from finding any fault!
Although Zizhu didn't speak again, Danyang clearly saw the change in the girl's eyes when she said these words, so he didn't worry that she would secretly trouble Master Xu Qing because she was angry for him.
After explaining two more trivial matters, Danyang was worried about his mother, and changing the housekeeper in the house was a big deal, so he had to have a good talk with his mother.
So after separating from Zizhu, he went to Mingxia Residence by himself, not to accompany the eldest princess Qinghe.
On the other hand, after Cui'er left the princess's mansion and returned to the Duke's mansion, before she even had a drink of water, she was interrogated by Mrs. Du, and even the maids in the same room were joking and ridiculing her. It wasn't until this moment that she finally made it clear. .
"From what I've seen, it seems that Princess Danyang is not breaking the contract, but that she is so troubled by the trivial matters in the princess's house that she slaps her on the back of the head. You don't have to worry."
Cui'er's whole speech and the description just now made Du feel much more comfortable. It also dispelled most of her anxiety about not getting a reply from Princess Danyang in the past few days.
But because of this, the comfortable expression on Du's face made the other maids serving beside her become wary.
So, as soon as Mrs. Du said "Hmm", Yu'er, the maid in charge of the accounting books, who was serving tea for her behind her, spoke.
"Madam, what Cui'er said is just for your comfort, but you can't take it seriously."
