Chapter 246: Using the Old Man to Steward the House
Chen Wenhui asked, "Are Sister Biwen and her husband both helping her brother do other things?" ”
Wan said: "Not only the two Biwen families, but also the two Yanxi and Chunbo two people, they are not in Xinguang City at the moment, your eldest brother assigned them out." ”
Chen Wenhui suddenly understood in her heart that these people should be in charge of the affairs of the Japanese Kingdom, and it seems that the eldest brother has done a good job of the work of the Japanese Kingdom. Now she and Chen Wenlin are going to develop Luzon Island, this Wan clan guards Yizhou Island, Chen Wenjun has time and energy, and he should start the affairs of the Japanese State. The Wa Kingdom played an important role in Chen Wenhui's plan.
Chen Wenhui asked: "Then what if we don't have manpower now?" ”
Wan suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Why don't we have manpower to use, how can we forget it, it's right in front of us." ”
Chen Wenhui was surprised: "Where is it?" ”
Wan said: "These things in my house are all handed over to Mother Zheng to manage, and then you can separate Qiu Han and Qiu Ying to manage the Treasure Mirror Workshop, isn't it?" ”
Chen Wenhui thought about it and looked at Zheng's mother.
Zheng's mother hurriedly said, "How can it be done?" I still have to take care of the little girl, how can I take care of the affairs of the house? Besides, I am always in the sky, how can I take care of it well, I am not familiar with this mansion, I don't know the people, the place is big, the population is large, how can I manage it? ”
Wan has to respect Zheng's mother, but Chen Wenhui was raised by Zheng's mother, just like Zheng's mother's daughter, so Chen Wenhui said to Zheng's mother: "Oh, mother." Don't sell your old qualifications in front of us, aren't you only forty this year? Where is the old age? I think managing these things is trivial for my mother, so you can help your sister-in-law take care of it. In this way, the business of our Treasure Mirror Workshop can be watched by reliable people, and the money earned every year will not be embezzled by the unconscionable shopkeepers. You must know that this business has hundreds of thousands of taels of income every year, and I account for the lion's share. ”
Zheng's mother loves Chen Wenhui the most. more than loving his own son. As soon as I heard this, I immediately felt sorry for Wen Hui's money, and said, "Oops." This year's income of hundreds of thousands of taels, but many of them are girls? This girl's future dowry is very rich. No, if the young lady can afford me, I will help the Qiuhong girls. So that the girls of Qiuhan can free up their hands and manage the money of our girls. ”
Everyone laughed again. Wan said: "Mother Zheng really loves Wen Hui the most." As soon as I heard that it was about Wen Hui's money, I was anxious and worked tirelessly. But I'm happy, with Zheng's mother in charge. It must be better in this house. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "However, Mother Zheng, the most important thing is the matter of good spirits." ”
Zheng's mother said, "Don't worry." Girl, I'm going to make a mistake. ”
Wan said, "Actually. Now Shanling is still young, there are few things around him, and Shanling himself has a wet nurse, a maid, and a big push from his mother-in-law, Zheng's mother doesn't need to do it herself, just take care of it, and grasp the general direction. I have the time and energy to manage things in my house. I can't say it, I have to ask Zheng's mother to take the opportunity to train me a few more people. In this way, Wen Hui and I will have people to use in the future. ”
Chen Wenhui immediately said: "Yes, Mom, you can train a few more people for us." You see, when I get to Luzon, Yujin and the others will also be busy, and I may not even have someone around me to take care of my clothes and jewelry. Although I trained a few people, these people are still not comparable to what my mother has trained. ”
When Zheng's mother heard that Chen Wenhui was going to have no maids to serve, she hurriedly said: "Oh, girl, you have to hurry up, what if the girl has no one to serve?" Don't worry, I will train you as soon as possible, and let the young lady send it to you. ”
Chen Wenhui and Wan both laughed.
Chen Wenhui said: "Let's eat first." Let's eat at the same table with us, sister-in-law, you have prepared a lot. ”
Wan said: "There are a lot, a big table, let's eat together, it can be regarded as picking up the wind and washing the dust for Zheng's mother." ”
Zheng's mother is very happy, can she not be happy if the masters give her face like this?
After the meal, Chen Wenhui and Wan Shi chatted while drinking tea, Chen Wenhui said: "Brother, the banquet over there should not be over yet." Shall we go out and take a walk? I haven't been back for a long time, and I want to look everywhere, and before they have gone to see it, I will go first, and I will bump into them. ”
Wan Shi said: "Then I'll accompany you to take a look, so that while watching, I will talk to you about the situation in Xinguang City, and you can help me put forward opinions again to see what needs to be changed." ”
Chen Wenhui said: "Okay, let's go now." ”
Zheng's mother said: "I won't go, I have to take care of the little girl first, and I have to familiarize myself with the house now, so that I can prepare to manage the affairs of the government." ”
Wan Shi smiled and said: "Mother Zheng is really a person who does what she says, now I have to live a worry-free life, I am really grateful to my mother for sending Mother Zheng over." ”
Everyone laughed.
Wan said: "Then let the four of Chunguang go out with us, and the four of them will follow Mother Zheng to familiarize themselves with the affairs of the house." ”
Qiu Hong and the others hurriedly agreed.
Chen Wenhui and Wan went to visit Xinguang City together. In fact, Xinguang City was built by Chen Wenhui, but in this year, Chen Wenhui went to the capital, and he didn't see a lot of development. So, this time, Wan took her to have a good visit.
The hospital in Xinguang City has been built very well, and every member of Xinguang City can receive an identity card in Xinguang City, which is the only one, and the poll tax must be paid every year, but with this identity card, you can receive medical treatment for free, so the people of Xinguang City are still very enthusiastic to receive this identity card. Some of the doctors in the hospital in Xinguang City came from Dachu, but these only accounted for less than one-third, and some of them were newly recruited from Xinguang City, and this part of the number was also very small, about one-fifth. The rest were all healers from the Black Family's Alchemy Hall.
Among them, here, Chen Wenhui also saw his old acquaintance Huo Jingcheng.
Huo Jingcheng was very happy when he saw Wen Hui, and gestured to Wen Hui and asked her to wait for a while, because he was treating a patient, Wen Hui took a look, the patient was wearing cheesecloth clothes, and a blue cloth headscarf was wrapped around his head, and he looked like an ordinary woman, but Huo Jingcheng looked at it very seriously, and he did not relax at all because of the other party's low status, but was very careful.
After seeing the illness, Chen Wenhui saw clearly that this was a woman in her thirties, Chen Wenhui asked: "This aunt, can the doctor see what is sick?" ”
The aunt didn't know Chen Wenhui, but she looked like a pearl and jade dew, and she was still wearing silk and satin, although there were not many jewelry on her head, but she was also dazzling. I thought it should be a rich girl, so I smiled and said, "This doctor is the best doctor in the hospital, and he can still see my illness well." Recently, I had an upset stomach, and the doctor just said that it should be a stomach problem, and he prescribed me a prescription to take the medicine according to this prescription. Speaking of which, I had this problem when I was in Da Chu, but where are we poor people who are so expensive, and they still see a doctor when they are sick? It's all desperately next to each other. When it's dead, forget it. I am not guilty. However, last year, we said that our hometown was really unbearable, and our family had many children, so we simply followed the boat out to sea. Maybe we can feed our family. Originally, I didn't want to, but I can't resist my family, so it's worth saying goodbye to my relatives and coming here. Who knew it would be nice here. As soon as we came, we were given an identity card and a loan, and now we have bought ten acres of land outside the city to plant, and we are still working in the city when we are free. The children all went to the school for free, not only did we not have to spend money, but the school also provided meals, which saved a lot of money. Not to mention, the children have learned to read, which is a change in the style of our family. Our family has been blind for several lifetimes, where are there people who can read and write. If we rely on the two of us, whether the children can support them is a problem, and where is the spare money for the children to study. Now the children can read and write, by the way, my eldest son is here with me today, otherwise, I am blind, how to see a doctor, take medicine? You see, our husband and wife are quite capable people, we have land, and we are still doing odd jobs, slowly earning more and spending less, and as soon as the crops are sold, we can first repay half of the money borrowed from the bank. In the past few days, after harvesting the crops and being idle, I heard that the hospital in the city can see a doctor for free, but I still don't believe it. I've seen it once, I've taken the medicine for three days, and it's really good. Just now, the doctor told me that taking medicine for another month can really eradicate the roots. Look at it, if you see a doctor and take medicine every day, if you are still in Dachu, not to mention that the family has no money, even a solid family will have to eat poor, but here, you don't need a tael of silver. It's really edifying. My head of the family and I wrote letters to my family, and I told my sister-in-law and my younger brother that they all wanted to come to Yizhou Island, which is much better here than at home. is still struggling to guard the bitter days at home, why can't the children be raised? How nice this new city of light is. ”
Chen Wenhui was very happy to hear this. was about to talk to this aunt, and she had already heard Huo Jingcheng calling her. She hurriedly said goodbye to her aunt and entered Huo Jingcheng's house with Wan. (To be continued)
