lady

Chapter 651

Liu Ting wailed in his heart, and his Master Shangshu told him that it would be better to negotiate this matter with double the price of ordinary workshops.He could see that Qi Younian had planned to agree just now, and changed the topic after hearing Wan Yan's words, complaining in his heart that Wan Yan was too talkative, but he dared not show it because of the power of the palace.

Zhang Cunhai glanced at Wan Yan, and Wan Yan smiled at him.Manager Zhang is naturally the elder he needs to look up to and respect, but his own prince's confession cannot be ignored either.

Zhang Cunhai wasn't dissatisfied with Wan Yan, he didn't come to discuss matters with the Qi family, he just came to watch the fun for His Majesty the Emperor.He was amazed that Qi Younian and Wan Yan had such a tacit understanding and trusted him so unreservedly.

After a while, Ye Xinyan came out from the back door of Duke Anguo's mansion and entered the Qi family's courtyard.

After entering the door, she glanced at the group of people in the room in surprise, an official, Wan Yan and the other, and at first glance they were eunuchs, and Liu Qing.

What combination is this?
Liu Qing got up quickly, took a step forward, and saluted Ye Xinyan.

Then, they introduced the group of them to Ye Xinyan and explained the purpose of their visit.

Miss Ye was very polite, and saluted several visitors one by one.After saluting Zhang Cunhai very solemnly, he took a good look at him without any concealment.

So this is the most embarrassing chief eunuch in front of the emperor?Isn't this very solemn, it looks quite honest, there is no such femininity, or if those movies, TV dramas, legends and so on kill people, they just write about people as if they are a scourge.

Wan Yan coughed in embarrassment. When he first met Miss Ye, he had been sized up by her like this.He also looked at him calmly, and then he was obviously relieved, with a look of displeasure on his face.

After that, as always, until now, he was respected like an ordinary elder.

It's just that he understands that Miss Ye doesn't have any fancy ideas, and she does things very openly. It is said that Manager Zhang is also a good person. Although he is powerful, he has no bad intentions.

But in case the chief executive Zhang has been praised by others for so many years, would you like to attract extra attention?
To Wan Yan's relief, the eldest lady looked at Manager Zhang with eyes, as if looking at a long-known figure again, without much inquisition.And after sizing up, the look on his face was relaxed, as if he was immediately relieved, which made the person being sized up feel a lot of comfort inexplicably.

Looking at Zhang Cunhai again, he was really not unhappy, and looked at Miss Ye with a much gentler expression.

Qi Younian also had a big head, he hurriedly said haha, and asked everyone to sit down again.

Ye Xinyan consciously stood behind Qi Younian. Seeing the silence in the room, but no one spoke, she looked at Wan Yan and Liu Qing in surprise, and asked, "Uncle Wan, Manager Liu just said that he planned to plan a wooden track. affairs. You two are from Prince Yu's Mansion, how could you get involved in this kind of thing?"

Liu Ting and the other two officials felt their teeth ache when they heard this, but the woman spoke very directly.Did she mean that the two of Prince Yu's mansion are meddling in their own business and shouldn't come over?
Zhang Cunhai's brows twitched. Does this eldest lady mean to keep the people of Prince Yu's Mansion out of the matter, or is it an attitude of searching for Wanyan?

Of course, Wan Yan didn't care what Ye Xinyan said, and said: "His Highness sent this old slave to introduce some adults from the Ministry of Industry, so that they won't be unfamiliar with the eldest lady and have trouble communicating."

"That's it." Ye Xinyan said, I felt relieved.

"Excuse me, my lords. It's the end of the year, and there are still a few days before the Chinese New Year. Our own store has been busy, and the craftsmen and master managers didn't rest before. At the end of this year, we always have to give them a few days to sort out the Chinese New Year. Housework, we won’t take this job. Several adults are working in the Ministry of Works, and there are many people who want to come to work under them, so you can find some free people to do this job, do you think it’s good?”

Zhang Cunhai picked up his teacup and sipped it slowly.The young lady was really straightforward, she didn't ask too many questions, and replied directly. Is this the prelude to the price increase?

Liu Ting was a little dumbfounded, he was sent by Master Shangshu to discuss this matter, the lower the salary, the better.But the eldest lady refused to take the job when she opened her mouth, and they didn't give him room to discuss.

Immediately, Liu Ting was a little annoyed. The officials of the Ministry of Industry, not to mention his grade, even a small official in the Ministry of Industry had never suffered such grievances when dealing with craftsmen.

But she is the granddaughter of An Guogong and the partner of His Royal Highness King Yu, even if he is annoyed, he can't afford to offend her.But, can it be impossible for him to humbly ask someone to do something?
Zhang Cunhai was served by the emperor. He was able to come to the Qi family, of course, because the emperor was willing to complete the matter. As for the price, it depends on how the officials of the Ministry of Industry and Miss Ye discussed it. The premise is that the matter was settled years ago. do it down.

Zhang Cunhai looked at Wan Yan, and Wan Yan looked at Liu Qing. Liu Qing quickly stood up, first saluted Qi Younian, and kept talking about causing trouble for Mr. Qi.

Then he smiled apologetically to Ye Xinyan: "Miss, I'm sorry, but it's because it's the Chinese New Year, and the other family can't do it with this little time, so I found the lady here. This matter is urgent, and there is really no delay."

"Can't others do it?" Ye Xinyan glanced past Zhang Cunhai, glanced at Liu Ting and the two officials of the Ministry of Industry, and said straightforwardly, "Well, we are all the emperor's subjects, and it is a good idea to share the worries of the court. It's a matter of internal affairs. We just reluctantly try to do this job."

The corner of Zhang Cunhai's mouth twitched, he said it with such arrogance, but he wondered if he could hold on to this arrogance.

Sure enough, Miss Ye went on to say: "However, this is a rush job, and it was a rush job a year ago, so the wages may be higher."

As she spoke, she turned her eyes to Liu Ting again.

Liu Ting cheered up, as long as he was willing to speak up, he would be able to discuss, "Before I came here, the Shangguan explained that the rush to work before this year will naturally cost the family more wages. I don't know how many people will be required to do it For this matter, we will pay double wages."

Ye Xinyan laughed when she heard that, and asked, "I don't know how the Ministry of Industry hires people to calculate the money?"

Liu Ting said hastily, "Everyone gets three taels of silver per month."

Ye Xinyan said with a smile: "My lord's management ability is really strong. You can hire a capable craftsman with only three taels of silver. To tell you the truth, our chief steward is 50 taels of silver per month, and there are extra rewards on New Year's Day. If you rush to work, your wages will be doubled, and the New Year’s Eve rush work will be calculated separately.”

Liu Ting's face turned ugly, your family is not hiring craftsmen to do things, it's clearly a foster uncle.

Ye Xinyan smiled sincerely, "Your Excellency is anxious about this matter, and the little lady must also participate. The salary of the little lady is not calculated on a monthly basis."

Liu Ting was stunned, who can afford to hire the eldest lady of An Guogong's mansion?Who dares to hire?
"The Ministry of Industry has officials who do engineering documents. As many people as there are shortages in your construction company, the lower officials will send them over immediately. If you need to do anything, your company can tell them." Liu Ting said hurriedly.I'm very happy for my quick wit, now I'm done, combine the two things into one, and go back to show my merits to Lord Shangshu.

"Oh," Ye Xinyan seemed to think about it, nodded and said, "That's fine, my lord will send three officials who are neat and familiar with fortifications. Each person will pay 300 taels of silver. For project planning, we will exempt you from 30 taels of silver. "

Zhang Cunhai quickly put down the cup in his hand.This young lady really dared to speak, he'd better put down the cup, if he let go of his hand in a while, the cup fell to the ground and broke, that would be embarrassing.

Wan Yan and Qi Younian looked as usual, watching Liu Ting and Ye Xinyan playing back and forth.

Liu Ting was immediately dumbfounded, obviously at a disadvantage, and asked stupidly: "How much is the project money? Who gave the 300 taels per person?"
