After Qin Hanzhen finished the class, he went back to Mingyuewu directly.

She doesn't go to Qingfeng Pavilion to eat every day, and in today's class, she learned a lot from Mr. Zeng and felt that she needed to tidy up. After the review, she found that there was something she didn't understand, and it was not too late for her to ask her grandfather for advice. So she had lunch in Mingyue Dock, took a nap, got up and finished her homework, and reviewed what she learned today before setting off for Qingfeng Pavilion. This time, she also brought Xia Qing with her.

When she arrived at Seifukan, the courtyard was bustling with activity. There are a lot of new faces today, Qin Hanzhen felt dazzled for a while, and he didn't know who these men and women were. Later, it was Niu Shi who explained to her with a smile: "The Internal Affairs Office sent the slaves given to our family by the emperor before, and several Zhuangzi land deeds were also sent. It's more lively in the morning, but now it's much less crowded. Your grandfather sent some people back to Zhuangzi to continue to take care of things, leaving only a few messengers. and thou shalt recognize men, lest you meet them in the future and not know them. ”

Qin Hanzhen suddenly realized, and looked at these imperial servants who stayed and waited with great interest.

Of the twenty people given by the emperor, regardless of men and women, Qin Bai only left half of them. Except for some people who want to stay in the outer courtyard to wait, and now that they have been arranged, there are a few who will be ordered in front of the owners of the third room in the future, and they are also objects that Qin Hanzhen must be familiar with.

The first Zhou Xiangnian, who was only in his early forties, looked very young, with a round face, a slightly chubby figure, a little mustache, and a very pleasant smile. This is the choice of the chief housekeeper specially arranged by the emperor for Qin Bai, not only has good personal management ability, but also has a good memory, and there are almost no high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital that he does not know. The streets and alleys in the capital are also very familiar to him. He is also familiar with the in-laws, old relationships, and the situation of the three religions and nine streams is clear, and it is simply a living encyclopedia of the capital. Qin Bai has been away from the capital for 30 years, and now he wants to return to the circle of the powerful, with such a helper, he will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort. For this reason, Uncle Hu was very convinced by Zhou Xiangnian, and he had no intention of fighting with him for power at all. However, Zhou Xiangnian was also very humble, and politely said to Uncle Hu, in less than half a day, they were about to become brothers. It can be seen that this person's communication methods are indeed extraordinary.

Zhou Xiangnian also has a younger brother named Zhou Changnian, who was also rewarded to Qin Bai by the emperor. This Zhou Changnian is different from his brother, he is an honest man, but he is very capable in farming. Of the granges given by the emperor, one of them was in his charge. It is said that the Zhuangzi under his management, as long as the land is not too bad, the annual output is counted in the capital, but he has clear accounts and never does anything to enrich his own pockets, so it is particularly rare. If he hadn't worked in the imperial village, the emperor would have been his boss, and I am afraid that he would have been poached. However, now that he has arrived at the newly sealed Yongjiahou Mansion, no one will dare to dig him, after all, there is an emperor.

The emperor was very thoughtful, this Zhou family has two brothers, one is in charge of the affairs of the Hou Mansion for Qin Bai, and the other is in charge of the Grange property for him, Qin Bai doesn't have to worry too much, he can live comfortably and carefree. He didn't even have to worry about loyalty, because the Zhou brothers and their family members were in his hands, and they still had their parents and brothers working in the imperial village. If they dared to deceive Qin Bai, the master, the emperor would only need to give an order to make their relatives unlucky.

In addition to the brothers of the Zhou family, there are two grandmothers and two girls among the slaves given by the emperor, who will wait in the Qingfeng Pavilion in the future. These four maids are now staying with the Niu family, after all, she is already Mrs. Yongjiahou, no longer just the third wife of the Qin family, there is only one tiger grandmother waiting under her, which is really unusual. Now with the addition of two girls and two grandmothers, it's just barely able to see people. At least add a few more girls, enough for four first-class, four second-class, four to eight third-class girls, and a few little girls who are not in the stream, which is the style that Mrs. Hou Fu should have. It's just that Niu said that she has never used so many people, four girls and two grandmothers are enough, and there are more people?

The Niu family specially called the four new people to show Qin Hanzhen. The two grandmothers, one surnamed Wei and the other surnamed Lu, are both in their forties, still in the prime of life, dignified in appearance, gentle and experienced. They are all old, and they used to serve the nobles in the palace, and it couldn't be easier for the Niu family to be an escort. Niu chatted with them for a while, and the little resistance in his heart disappeared. These two grandmothers are indeed very easy to get along with, there is no shortage of loyalty, and their temperament is also similar to her, and they seem to be more likable than the few grandmothers who borrowed from the long house in the past.

There are also two girls, both thirteen or fourteen years old, medium in appearance, quite delicate, slender, gentle in temperament, both honest and obedient girls. One of them is good at dressing up, and the other is good at needlework, which is the most needed manpower around Niu's side.

As for the financial talents, because there is a tiger mother, who is enough to be responsible for the accounts of the three-room inner courtyard, there is no need to supplement it from the outside - it is difficult for the emperor to find out how to find out about the situation in the brother-in-law's family and arrange it so thoughtfully.

Qin Han was secretly surprised in his heart, and even had some suspicions, maybe there were emperor's eyes and ears in this Chengenhou Mansion, so the emperor could even inquire about the situation of his grandfather and grandmother who were around him, and then send the people they needed. I heard that my grandfather Qin Bai stayed in the house to wait for the people, as well as a good guard and a coachman who is familiar with the road conditions in the capital.

Niu's didn't think as far as his granddaughter, and he was still immersed in the happiness of the new girl who had her heart, and pulled Qin Hanzhen and said, "I'm thinking about changing the girl's name to a new one." You see, this one's real name is Lily, what a coincidence! The two Bailing and Baiqiao that Changfang sent to me before also have the word 'Bai' in their names. Bai Qiao went to your house, and Bai Ling went back to Shengyi Ju, but unfortunately he didn't stay. Now among these two girls, since one is called Lily, I thought, why don't you let the other one change her name to Bai or something, wouldn't it be more neat? Coincidentally, your Mama Hu sent a list of newly picked girls before, and there were two little girls who picked me up, one named Baili and the other called Baishou, and I don't know who gave the name, do you say it's a coincidence?"

Whether it's Bai Li or Bai Shou, these two names are obviously not common Yahuan names, someone must have deliberately said so. Especially Bai Li, obviously following the word "Bai Ling", there is no girl called Bai Ling in the house, but there is a Bai Ling. Who knows if the person who gave the new little girl such a name wants the Niu family to bring Bailing back?

Qin Han really thought about it, and said, "We didn't want Bailing before, it was to keep it a secret for Cousin Zhao. Now you don't have to worry about this, if grandmother likes Bailing, let's go and tell the second aunt to ask her for someone. Presumably, the second aunt will not be stingy. "If the Yao clan didn't have this heart, they wouldn't have connived at Bai Ling to come to Qingfeng Pavilion all day long.

Niu smiled and waved his hand and said, "That's it, I see that Bailing is very loyal to your second uncle, and it is enough to come over from time to time to sit and talk." Now I have a new girl, and there is no shortage of manpower. He pulled Qin Hanzhen and asked, "What do you think should be called Bai, that girl?"

Qin Hanzhen glanced at the girl who hadn't changed her name a few times, and saw that the other party had a fair complexion, some single eyelids, small eyes, and a very pure appearance, with a slight smile on her face, and a little bit of Yamaguchi Baihui, so she blurted out: "It's good to call Baihui." After thinking about it, "Actually, PARKnSHOP is not bad." "It's just too reminiscent of a supermarket.

Niu's clapped his hands: "It's good to call Baihui, that's the name!"

Baihui, who had a new name, stepped forward to salute the Niu family with a smile, thanked her for giving her name, and thanked Qin Hanzhen for saluting. Qin Hanzhen looked at it, and sure enough, he was courteous and thoughtful, and his behavior was moderate. Produced by the royal family, isn't it really ordinary......

Lily Baihui and the two followed behind Mama Wei and Mama Lu, and when they saw Qin Hanzhen, they retreated according to the courtesy. They are new to the city, and there is still a lot to do. For example, the place of this Seifukan is not big, and there are not many rooms, so where they will live in the future is a big problem. After Qin Hanzhen thought about it, he generously said that the west wing room where he once lived could be taken out. Anyway, she lives in Mingyuewu now, and it is very convenient to go back and forth, so she doesn't have to occupy the land in the West Chamber in vain. Anyway, the Seifukan is crowded, and it's only temporary. When the new Yongjiahou Mansion is repaired in the future, are you afraid that there will be no place to accommodate these servants?

The girls and grandmothers retreated, they had to pack their luggage, and they had to make friends with the male and female servants in the third room of the Qin family as soon as possible, lay down their own connections, and then inquire about the master's preferences, so that they could be on an errand in the future.

Qin Hanzhen watched them leave, and asked about the newly picked girl. Niu said: "They are all descendants of the people who served your grandfather or your great-grandmother in the past, and it is pitiful to say, Qin Song doesn't do human affairs, he knows that these people have the ability, but he refuses to use them." Your uncle and grandmother are fair people, and they have the intention to pull them along, but they are in the way of Qin Song, and it is too obvious that they are not doing well, so these people did not mix well before, and their lives were mediocre. The two little girls are already tall among the short, and they are still honest, so let's teach them for a few years. He also ordered Mama Hu to bring people up and give Qin Hanzhen a meeting.

The two little girls are both eleven or twelve years old, and they are also handsome, a little shy, but their manners are quite generous, and they are still fluent in speaking. Qin Hanzhen thought back to the little girls in his house, and felt that these two people were no worse than them at all.

Niu Shi said again: "You have a girl over there, and there is no shortage of people, so I won't add people to you this time." These Baili and Baishou will stay in my house and serve. ”

Qin Hanzhen hurriedly smiled: "Grandmother, just keep it." I'm so crowded there that I can't even call them. ”

Niu said with a smile: "This is all a violation of the rules of their Hou Mansion, obviously there are not so many things, but they still need to use so many people, in fact, people are very idle." I've never liked to raise idlers, but the capital is such a climate, if you don't put a few more waiting girls, outsiders will feel that it is not grand enough, not decent. Your grandfather told me to follow the customs, and I had to listen to him. ”

She pointed to one of the little girls: "This is Baishou, guess whose sister she is? ”

Qin Hanzhen looked at it carefully a few times, a little uncertain: "Yes...... Xia Qing's sister-in-law? I think their eyebrows and eyes are a little similar. ”

Niu clapped his hands: "Isn't it her?!" Bai Shou pursed his lips and smiled, and stepped forward and saluted: "I've seen the three girls." The slave maid Baishou is Xia Qing's own sister, and she is thirteen years old this year. ”

Qin Hanzhen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "You and Xia Qing are sisters, so to speak...... Xia Qing is also the descendant of my great-grandmother and grandfather's old servants?!"(. )
