The two of them returned to their house and had just had a simple lunch when the servant at the back door came to send a message, saying that the person delivering cucumbers and radishes was here.
The master and servant hurriedly went to the back door and paid the balance.
This basket of cucumbers and radishes weighed at least seventy or eighty kilograms. Two weak women, Shen Wan and Qiu Ju, could not carry it, so Shen Wan asked the doorkeeper to help.
"Madam, the back door is always guarded and cannot be left. I'm sorry that I can't help you move it!" The servant looked at Shen Wan with a smile and said.
There was no benefit at all from helping the eldest lady move things, so why should he go to all that trouble? Moreover, the young lady is now in charge of the General's Mansion, so why should he listen to the eldest lady's orders?
Just now he went to send a message, but the eldest lady didn't even send him a snack. If it were the younger lady, she would have rewarded him with a handful of copper coins! This basket of radishes and cucumbers looks heavy, so he won't move it!
Hearing this, Shen Wan raised her lips and smiled and said, "I'll help you guard here."
The servant was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "This gatekeeper is a small job, how can I ask Madam to help me guard it!"
When Qiu Ju saw that the servant was trying to evade, she turned black and said sternly: "Wang Tiezhu, the eldest lady can't control you now, right?"
The fact that he couldn't live without others was clearly an excuse. He had just gone to Qiushi Courtyard to spread the news that the food delivery person was here! But now he said that he couldn't live with others. It was obviously an excuse to avoid helping them carry the vegetables.
Seeing that Qiu Ju had already told the truth, Wang Tiezhu stopped pretending, wiped away the smile on his face, and said disrespectfully: "Sister Qiu Ju, what are you talking about? I am someone who is really inseparable from you."
Shen Wan glanced at Wang Tiezhu lightly, and then said to Qiu Ju: "Forget it Qiu Ju, I am a useless lady now, so naturally I can't control others, let's carry it ourselves!"
Qiu Ju was so angry that she glared at Wang Tiezhu fiercely and spat at him, "Bah, you see something that is too high to look down on."
Wang Tiezhu felt a little weak at Shen Wan's look, touched his nose and took a step back.
The two of them ignored Wang Tiezhu and bent down directly to carry the basket of radishes and cucumbers.
At this time, Qiao Mu, who was dressed in blue and gray clothes, walked in from the door. He saw the eldest lady and Qiu Ju carrying a large basket of radishes and cucumbers, and asked, "What are you doing, eldest lady?"
It’s not like there are no male servants in this mansion, so why did they let these two weak women take advantage of them?
Shen Wan straightened up, turned to look at Qiao Mu and said, "I bought some cucumbers and radishes and had them delivered, and now I'm about to move them to Qiushi Courtyard!"
Qiao Mu walked forward and frowned: "Why don't you let the servants move it?" This basket of radishes and cucumbers looks quite heavy!
Madam is not in good health, how can she do such heavy work?
"My wife can't control the servants in this house now." Qiu Ju said and glanced sideways at Wang Tiezhu.
Hearing this, Qiao Mu glanced at Wang Tiezhu who was standing next to him. The servant who couldn't be commanded should be him!
Wang Tiezhu quickly explained: "Brother Qiao Mu, it's not that I don't want to help the eldest lady move, it's that I really can't live without people here."
Qiao Mu looked at him and smiled mockingly without saying a word. He also knew that now that the little madam was in charge, all the servants in the house who looked down upon others no longer took the eldest lady seriously.
Being unable to stay away from someone is just an excuse. If it were the young lady, he would just help move it without even asking.
