Chapter 148: Changing Careers

Bai Shi smiled and said, "It's good now." What is Mrs. www.biquge.info hesitate about? The old lady is right, kissing is harmless to the eldest lady Baili. And the young master is young and promising, and his conduct was good earlier. This family slave is optimistic. ”

Mrs. Di was worried: "Zhenjiang Mansion may not be too far away. ”

The daughter married in the capital, what grievances did her mother's family get ahead. Married far away, there are three long and two short, and the whip is beyond reach!

Ji Anlei is the eldest daughter in the family, and she has been raised by her wife since she was a child, and she has a deep relationship.

Bai Shi smiled lightly: "Madam, what's so difficult about this." With our Guogong Mansion, are you still afraid that Young Master Changchang Tang will stay in Zhenjiang Mansion all the time? ”

"That's right." Mrs. Di's sorrow made her feel much better.

The main bookkeeper, he has done a good job, and with the operation of the capital, it is not difficult to be promoted.

Mrs. Di relaxed: "Let's discuss with the master again in the evening." ”

The marriage of the eldest daughter, why should you listen to the opinion of the princess of Baoguo?

Mrs. Di knows it in her heart, but she has to respect the views of the pillars of the family.

At dusk, Baoguo Gong returned to his house and entered the Cun'an Pavilion.

The Hua family was demoted, and the Jiang family thought about it behind closed doors under the pretext of self-punishment. The Chen family didn't want to go, and the Jian family didn't have a look, but Baoguo Gong came to Cun'an Pavilion a few more times. As for Bai's house. He hasn't stepped into it since Bai's birth. Mrs. Di personally said that Bai's body was damaged and it was not suitable to accompany him. Bao Guogong really hasn't been there.

After dinner, after drinking tea, Mrs. Di proposed Ji Anlei's relatives to Baoguo Gong.

I heard that a cousin of the Di family who was selected as the chief bookkeeper in Zhenjiang Mansion was selected, and Baoguo Gong was speechless for a long time.

Mrs. Di added: "There is a letter from home saying that my nephew has not yet married, and he has not yet been married. The previous appointment was made, the woman passed away, and the fortune teller said that he should not marry early. I've been learning about it ever since. The age difference with Lei'er is not too big. ”

"How old?" Bao Guogong asked.

"Nineteen years old. I heard that he is extremely capable in office. The magistrate appreciates him very much. There was a wealthy family in the local area who wanted to get married, but he didn't respond, only saying that it was all up to his parents. The second uncle and aunt have also been looking for a family affair for him recently, so that he can be transferred back to the capital when his term of office expires. ”

Bao Guogong frowned: "What about conduct?" ”

Mrs. Di replied truthfully: "When I was in the capital before, I was very well-behaved, obedient and sensible. It's only in the last few years, I've seen less, and if there is any change, I really don't dare to pack tickets. ”

This is not an exaggeration.

Bao Guogong nodded: "If you are the same age and have a reliable character, it doesn't hurt to set it." I mean, how about two families agree on it first, and then send someone to find out, and then formally discuss the sample? ”

Mrs. Di's face was cold: "Does the master believe in our Di family?" ”

"It's not that I don't believe it. After all, you are your own people, and sending someone to understand it may not be the way it is. I'll have to send someone here to investigate, and if it's true, it's not too late to make a decision. ”

I still don't believe the news of the Di family.

Bao Guogong looked at Mrs. Di and said with a smile: "I don't know my heart. Is it the cousin and nephew who are important, or is it a lifelong event for our Lei'er? ”

Mrs. Di sighed softly, "Okay. Just do what the master said, and then send someone to visit quietly. ”

"Hmm. Without further ado, I will send someone tomorrow, and I will send a message back in ten days and a half months. ”

"Who will the master send?"

Bao Guogong said the name of a steward.

Mrs. Di shook her head: "Not credible." The steward is slippery, good at figuring out the master's thoughts, and will definitely not reply according to the truth. ”

"Huh?" Bao Guogong's face turned red again.

The steward was really a delicate man, and of course he was a good hand at doing things.

"Madame, who do you mean to send?"

Mrs. Di frowned and hesitated: "No'er? ”

"What?" Bao Guogong was about to jump up and be surprised: "Noor? Madame......"

Mrs. Di propped her forehead and sighed: "Nuo'er's studies are very average, and the master doesn't know it." It's not that he's not motivated, it's that his talent is limited. is not as good as Xu'er, and Guozijian has a reputation. Instead of spending time in a study where nothing can be done, it is better to let him practice more sophistication. ”

"This, this?" Baoguo Gong bared his teeth: "Although Nuo'er is not as good as Xu'er in school, she is better than the fifth brother." Even if you don't make it next year, it's no problem to go to school. Besides, he is still young, he stopped studying early, and our family has no bulk sales and purchases, so will it not be possible to live at home in the future? ”

"That's why I said let him practice first. Although we don't sell and buy in our house, there are many farms everywhere. Someone has to take care of it. Although the stewards are people we trust, they are no better than our sons. ”

Bao Guogong turned his head and said nothing.

Of course, the income of the Guogong Mansion could not count on his little silver. But there are not many shops except for the dowry brought by Mrs. Di. However, the old man and Mrs. Ji bought some land back then, and with the help of the wind and rain, life can go on.

For a long time, it has been the henchmen and housekeepers who take care of the outside industry. Bao Guogong is the one who shakes his hands and is in charge, and he doesn't understand it. Mrs. Di is a lady of fate, and it is impossible to worry about this all day. The affairs of the back house are enough for her to be busy.

If there is a son who takes over the chores outside, it is actually really a lot more reassuring.

It's just that among the young masters who came out of the Guogong Mansion, which one would do these despised chores? The young masters are either studying and becoming officials, or looking for flowers and willows, and they will not and disdain to make money.

Now it's good, Mrs. Di wants to bring up Ji Annuo, who is a little poor in reading, to manage the miscellaneous affairs outside the house, which can be described as a bold idea.

"How's it going, sir?"

Bao Guogong sighed deeply: "It's not good to blame me." ”

He is useless, he didn't let the wealth of the Baoguo Mansion roll, he doesn't know how to manage money, he knows that it doesn't matter if he eats, drinks and has fun.

Mrs. Di raised her eyebrows: "Master, now is not the time to say angry things. Only I just said, let Nuo'er go to Zhenjiang Mansion, okay? ”

After thinking about it, Bao Guogong had no choice but to "do this, or ask what a Nuo'er means?" He has to like his schoolwork, and he can't force it. ”

Mrs. Di smiled: "That's nature. ”

Unexpectedly, Ji Annuo readily agreed, and he was also interested.

The task assigned by Mrs. Di is to secretly investigate the cousins of the Di family. Another task is to take a good look around Gangnam. Especially in terms of price fields, ask a lot. Ji Annuo agreed one by one, and was also asked to keep his mouth shut.

He doesn't need to be told that he understands what's at stake. It is related to the life of her eldest sister Ji Anlei. Of course, you can't shout. And he, the second young master of the Guogong Mansion, does not take it as his responsibility to be an official, but he is keen on doing business and dislikes money, and he can't shout about this matter in advance, it is very embarrassing.

The main hall is lively here, but Ji Qianxia of Xiangxia Pavilion is in trouble again.

Tonight is the day to discuss an exchange with Luo Rin. She returned the book to him, and by the way, told him how she felt after reading it. And he gave her five hundred pieces of silver.

Nothing else matters, the key is that you must get five hundred silver. (To be continued.) )
