4 4. Asking for the monthly expenses (1/2)
While Su Qingyi's servants mopping about her lifestyle, she contently pats her full stomach. Luckily, she thought she can cooks many good foods. Looks like she enjoys delicacies and she likes to cook it. Walking around the courtyard, Su Qingyi feels sad because this place not good to look at. Too many weeds are scattered in this yard. Old trees are also neglected, although not dead but start withering. Su Qingyi feels impatient to see the trees in her yard, if only the trees raised well, they would provide a shady spot in her yard.
Thinking deeply, Su Qingyi starts planning to renovate her yard. Even though this small house looks old and messy, the building is made of good materials that can still be used to live with. Maybe a little repairing in the few corners of the house is enough, but the yard needs to be repaired massively. She needs to asking around to clean and fix the yard so she can enjoy the view later.
”Wangfei.”
Nanny Mo's old voice wakes Su Qingyi from her deep thoughts. Glancing at the servants sent by the head steward, her eyes glint brightly.
”From the four of you, who can help me think how much I need to fix this yard?”
Hearing Wangfei question, one eunuch with plain-looking face moved forward and bow to her.
”I can help to ask around, Wangfei. I used to work for the Wangfu garden.”
”What's your name?”
”Xiao yuqi, Wangfei.”
”Alright, I will need your help then. I'll give the yard-plan later to you. I don't need a yard that is too luxurious, simple and comfortable is enough.”
”Yes, Wangfei.”
”Wangfei, you want to fix the yard?” asked Nanny Mo, she looks a little unsettled.
”Yes. I don't like the looks right now. We need to fix it all.”
”Well, if you want to fix it, you need money and workers to help. We can't do it ourselves. We are too shorthanded.”
”Hmm.. your right. I guess I need to find head steward then.”
”Let me go asking him to comes here then.” Fu lin starts to go find the head steward Chen to meet her Wangfei.
Waiting for a while, Head Steward Chen comes to Wangfei courtyard with grumble expression. The middle-aged man doesn't want to comes to this old courtyard and meet the replacement wife but his Wangye already said that he can't ignore the young woman because of she still his Wangye's wife in name.
”Wangfei.”
Su Qingyi looks at the middle age man bowing in front of her. He bows and stands straight up without even waiting for her permission. From his attitude toward her, she knows that this man dislikes her. He doesn't even give her a good face. Nodding her head, she can accept his actions toward her, after all, she just replacement bride in Wangfu people's mind. As the head steward, this man thinks his Wangye been ashamed by these changes.
”Head steward Chen is really hard to invite by this Wangfei. I need to wait more than two hours just to meet you.” Coldly, Su Qingyi speak.
