As a loyal steward and subordinate, Uncle Zhou felt that he had the obligation to keep a close eye on the prince to prevent anyone from getting the wrong idea!
One of the two people was busy talking, and the other didn't notice.
By the time he reached the door of the princess' mansion next door, Uncle Zhou had already figured out Meng Wenhao's background and origins, and the polite smile on his face became more sincere.
In order to facilitate repairs, the door of the Princess Mansion was left open and no one was guarding the door.
The group of people walked in directly.
The house was in a mess, and the front yard was filled with all kinds of wood and stones. Craftsmen busy with repairs came and went, and the sound of clanking and knocking kept coming.
Hanhan looked around with his little head and frowned: "Why is it more chaotic than the first time we came here?"
Uncle Zhou hasn't answered yet.
Two servants who were supervising the work not far away saw them and hurriedly came over: "Steward Zhou, why are you here in person?"
"The county chief and the young prince wanted to come over to see the repairs, so I came with them."
Zhou Bodao: "You haven't met the county lord and the crown prince yet?"
The two of them quickly saluted.
Xiao Lingyue said: "No need."
She looked at Uncle Zhou: "Are they from Prince Yi's Mansion?"
Uncle Zhou smiled and said: "Yes, the old slave specially asked them to supervise the work here to prevent the people below from not working carefully."
Han Han raised his head and asked: "How is the repair of mother's house?"
"When I returned to the prince, I and others inspected the condition of the house and found that it was quite damaged. The walls, floors, beams, etc. of the house all needed to be renovated and painted. The tiles on the roof also needed to be replaced, as well as the garden.
....."
Han Han was stunned for a moment, not understanding it at all.
Uncle Zhou scolded: "Don't talk about this, just say how much time it will take!"
The two of them said cautiously: "About...it will take about ten days."
"So long?" Xiao Lingyue frowned slightly. She saw busy craftsmen everywhere in the house, and with so many people, she thought it would be almost done in three to five days.
Unexpectedly, the efficiency was slower than expected.
"Because it is the county lord's mansion, I don't dare to neglect it. It must be repaired completely before I can explain it to the county lord." The two said with apologetic smiles.
"Forget it, just ten days or so."
Xiao Lingyue asked again: "Is there an empty house in the mansion with a slightly better environment and suitable for people to live in?"
"An empty house for people to live in?" The two of them were stunned for a moment.
Uncle Zhou said puzzledly: "Miss Shen, you are asking this..."
"It's for them to live in." Xiao Lingyue pointed to Meng Wenhao and Xiao Mumu next to her, and said, "This Mr. Meng will stay in the county lord's mansion as a housekeeper in the future, so he will move in in advance and get to know the things in the mansion.
Condition."
She did not say that Meng Wenhao was homeless and did not dare to live in Prince Yi's Mansion, so he wanted to move in temporarily.
It was considered as saving his face in front of outsiders.
When Uncle Zhou heard this, he was shocked and said: "What? Butler?!"
Xiao Lingyue: "Yes, what's the problem?"
Uncle Zhou couldn't help but frown and said tactfully: "Miss Shen, Mr. Meng is still young and has not married yet. He stays in your house as a steward... Isn't this appropriate?"
The housekeeper is in charge of the affairs of the whole house and often has to go to the backyard and other places.
How could you let a young and strong man who has not yet started a family do this? This is inappropriate no matter how you look at it.
If word gets out...
I'm afraid that others won't think that this is the housekeeper, but they will think that it is the pretty boy that Miss Shen secretly keeps in the house...
Uncle Zhou felt nervous, how could this be done?! This chapter has been completed!
