After leaving Dayou County, Zhiruo's trip was significantly faster, and the date of arriving in Nanhai was exactly the same as she had planned before she went out, making up for the time she had lost before.

The South China Sea is the birthplace of Qi Mubai's foundation, and Ni Xiangju and Qi Mu Bai have almost become the symbols of the South China Sea. The women in the inner house who didn't know about the South China Sea before can quickly react when they hear this place name: "South China Sea?

Because of the rapidly growing Ni Xiang Ju and Yan Xian Ju, the image of Qi Mubai's master and servant has long been passed on by word of mouth, and everyone in the streets and alleys of Nanhai knows it. In the era when there are no mobile phones and no convenient communication networks, the most recognizable image is also the most likely to cause the risk of impersonation, how can there be no means of prevention? At least, it is impossible for Uncle Tong and Aunt Tong and the people who can be in charge of industries in Qi Mansion and Qi Mansion to admit their mistakes, even if they have never seen the true face of their son-in-law.

In addition to the Qi family token, of course, it is the special logo on the masks of the three people and the unique fire-shaped inlaid gold silk jade pendant hanging around Zhiruo's waist, the gold silk craftsmanship of these three things can not be made by others except Zhiruo, and the distinctive characteristics can be seen at a glance, but they cannot be imitated and copied. This is the formula and process created by Yin Huien's father by chance, and the town store treasure of modern Yin family Jindian jewelry.

Like Changyang's chief steward Lian Erfa, Uncle Tong, who led the housekeepers to greet him at the gate, quietly confirmed the identity of his son: "The son has worked hard all the way, and the main courtyard has already been prepared." After the son rested, the old slave reported various affairs to the son. By the way, Mr. Liang of the SF Dart Bureau heard that Gongzi had returned home recently, and handed over a name card to visit the house. "SF Dart is one of the most stable partners in their Qi family's business network, and it is also the first to cooperate, and it is said that their son-in-law has a good personal relationship with their two owners.

Zhiruo nodded: "Uncle Tong, let's do it tomorrow morning, and leave Second Brother Liang to eat in the house at noon." In addition, there is a family banquet in the house tonight, I rarely go back to the house, gather with everyone, and after the meal, I will talk about some things with Uncle Tong and Aunt Tong, as well as Mrs. Zhao. ”

As soon as I got out of the carriage, the first thing I saw was Uncle Tong and Aunt Tong, who were standing at the forefront, although they met for the first time, they had a sense of familiarity and tacit understanding, as if they were indeed the old housekeepers who had been together for many years.

At the second glance, Zhiruo's gaze locked on Zhao Jinxiu, who was dressed in a dark green steward's uniform, like all other stewards, his hands folded in front of him, bowing slightly, respectful but not flattering.

Zhiruo nodded secretly, one is the style of the Qi family stewards, and the other is the good adaptation of Zhao Jinxiu's mother and daughter, and at a glance at their complexions and mental state, they know that they are very satisfied with their current life.

Zhiruo's order, Uncle Tong and his wife and Zhao Jinxiu hurriedly responded, and everyone in the house was also happy. As soon as Gongzi came back, he had dinner with them, which slave had such treatment? Gongzi was talking about a family banquet, they were all members of the Qi family! Although they had not been in the Qi family for a long time, they had already felt the mystery and strength of Gongzi, or the Qi family.

Zhao Jinxiu's face was also full of joy, from the moment she arrived at Qi Mansion and felt the atmosphere of Qi Mansion, she was very glad that she had made the right choice. The three of their ancestors and grandchildren were not slaves, but she took the initiative to classify herself into the category of Qi family stewards, and all of them should follow the rules of the Qi family in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Uncle Tong was a little surprised at first, but he didn't say a word, took a deep look at her, and asked people to give her a copy of the family rules and regulations. Zhao Jinxiu keenly felt that since then, Uncle Tong and Aunt Tong have been less polite to her and more intimate.

The longer they spent in Qi Mansion, the more surprised and happy Zhao Jinxiu's mother and daughter became, especially the Qi Family School, which allowed the mother and daughter to directly see Xiao Bao'er's future. Uncle Tong also told them that as long as the cooperation between Zhao Jinxiu and Gongzi exists for a day, Xiao Bao'er will be able to study in the Qi Family School. Zhao Jinxiu's mother and daughter don't have that much ambition, and they feel that according to the rules of the Qi Family School, Xiao Bao'er can go anywhere. If they still stay in Liuping County, not to mention whether they have the ability to provide for Xiao Bao'er to go to school, even if they go to school, it is strange that children without fathers are not bullied.

Now, without worrying about their livelihood and having a good mood, Pearl is more attentive to learning cooking skills with her mother, and the mother and daughter completely regard themselves as family members, and decide to help their son develop the restaurant, and also work hard for their ancestors and grandchildren.

Zhiruo nodded at everyone, didn't say anything more, and followed Uncle Tong and Aunt Tong to the main courtyard. In this era, there are clear hierarchies, and even if she thinks of everyone as employees in a modern company, she must stop in words and deeds, and can't do too much.

Because of Zhiruo's insistence, Uncle Tong asked the sedan chair waiting on the side to retreat, and the master and servant walked to the backyard, introducing them as they went.

This Qijia mansion was built in accordance with Zhiruo's requirements and design drawings, and covers a large area, which is equivalent to a modern medium-sized manufacturing enterprise, including a production plant and a residential area. The design of the house refers to the Qiaojia compound, the Jijia compound, and the modern factory and dormitory buildings that Zhiruo visited in modern times.

Seeing and being in the Qi family compound designed by oneself, the sense of accomplishment is naturally different from looking at the design drawings and talking about it. Despite this, after walking around, Zhiruo still has to sigh at the ingenuity and rigorous and responsible attitude of the craftsmen of this era. The real thing is much more reliable and reasonable than her design drawing, uh, at this time she can only call it a conceptual sketch with her conscience, and the experience of those craftsmen has made up for many of her negligence and design loopholes.

Zhiruo smiled self-deprecatingly, there is no harm if there is no comparison, but she is not studying architectural design, she can only simply imitate and imagine, which can be forgiven, hehe.

The main courtyard of the Qi family's mansion is called "Yayuan", and the name is simple and straightforward. Isn't it said that the businessman is vulgar? Qi Mubai, the future big chaebol, should be called "Ya", haha, vulgar and elegant, ruthless and good, this is the image that Zhiruo defined for Qi Mubai and the entire Qi family's business empire.

Yayuan is exquisite and luxurious, which is very suitable for Qi Mubai's identity, but the area is really not large, and it is not as big as Meizhuang's Aomei Pavilion, so Qi Mubai rarely goes back to live in the mansion, and he feels that it is too wasteful to build a big one. Fortunately, in the eyes of the servants, the master of this house is alone, and there must be many secret residences, and it is not surprising that the courtyard here is smaller, not to mention that although it is small, it is luxurious and consumes silver, which is much more luxurious than those large courtyards of others.

Ask them how they know that the master has other residences? Isn't this nonsense? Who is the corrupt officials and corrupt officials who calculate the Qi family and the Ni Xiang Residence, and the landlord and snake are being dealt with with in fear? The Qi family is obviously not the only one of them, there must be a lot of mysterious dark powers, hehe, where do those people live? Of course, the rules of the Qi family are strict, they dare not and there is no need to inquire, knowing that the Qi family is very safe, and they must not have a crooked heart, otherwise they will die an ugly death, and many of them have seen it with their own eyes.

There is a five-story golden observation tower in the small garden of the Grace Garden, and you can sit on it while drinking tea while overlooking the entire mansion, which is particularly eye-catching. This is not Zhiruo's design, it is Liang Dahai's whimsical suggestion based on the ideas of Meizhuang Guanmei Academy, Zhiruo's eyes lit up at that time, and the more he looks at it, the more he likes it. In these days, it is impossible to build high-rise buildings, there are no building materials and technology, but it is still possible to build a tower or pavilion.

Qi Mubai is much more free and casual than Yin Zhiruo, and he is interested, Zhiruo jumped up from the ground, and stood on the fifth floor of the observation tower in the blink of an eye and looked around.

For his son-in-law's good skills, Uncle Tong and Aunt Tong didn't have a hesitant look, and still looked up with a smile. In their minds, Gongzi was originally a young talent who was capable of writing and martial arts, brave, resourceful, and means, and the proud son of the Son of Heaven, otherwise how could he dare to be born again at a young age on behalf of the entire hermit family? You must know that if you don't have extraordinary self-protection ability, the more money you have, the faster you will die, and the more you have the ability to do business and make money, the more dangerous it is, and the best outcome is to become a puppet tool for powerful families to make money. And their son-in-law is obviously not, since the birth of the son, no one has allowed the son-in-law to suffer, and no one knows how much power the child-in-law has behind him, just like no one has seen the true appearance of the childe.

The secret family that has been inherited for several generations has confidence and energy that the world dare not imagine. Now the mysterious family that people talk about the most in the world, one is the Taoyuan Realm, and the other is the Qi family behind Qi Mubai.

Dining with everyone in Qi Mansion, Zhiruo is still in a good mood, and it feels a bit like the annual banquet in a modern company. At dinner time, the stewards and men in the shops in Nanhai City all returned, and the stewards in the Qijia Farm in the suburbs also arrived, filling thirty tables with nearly four hundred people, not including the staff on duty and children under the age of fifteen who set up other tables, it can be regarded as a big family!

Of course, the only people who can accompany Qi Mubai to sit at the main table separated by a screen to dine are Uncle Tong, the head of the guard, Uncle Gui, the head of the store, Aunt Tong, the housekeeper, the head of the garment maker, the head of the embroidery room, Min Niangzi, the head of the jewelry workshop, and Zhao Jinxiu. If nothing else, these people at the table, as well as the store managers who are dispatched to various places, are all executives and mainstays of the future Qi family's business empire.

In Zhiruo's view, even in this ancient period, most of the people who used it were sold into slavery, it was still the most important talent, more important than any secret recipe and business means, otherwise there would be no existence of the Qi Family School, and the manpower, financial resources, and material resources consumed by the Qi Family School are not a small amount.

Even in modern times, he has attended countless annual banquets of his own family or other companies, Zhiruo still feels that this family banquet is quite successful, the master and servant are happy, the atmosphere is harmonious, and the dishes are rich and not wasted. Knowing that she seemed to be embarrassed by the kitchen, it was really not easy to organize the family banquet she suddenly explained in a short time, and the result was unexpectedly good. However, it can also be seen from this that the ability of the Qi family's stewards led by Uncle Tong and Aunt Tong.
