When the red glow was in the sky, Lu Ning came to the Liu Mansion in the city, of course, now it is time to change the name to Lu Mansion, Liu Zhicai's vassal Fengya has taken off the plaque of the hall "Shu Shiju" obtained by the Book of Poetry, Qiao She people once smiled and said that if the first is the title of the hall, Shouzhou Dong Beijia is quite good, and he can ask for it for the Ming Mansion.

Liu's Mansion is in the East China Sea City, so this house is only a decent size, but it is a separate garden on the shore of the Ming Lake, learning Jiangnan Manor to repair the pavilion and attic pavilion is very gorgeous and chic, in this East China Sea City's main house, although it has been repaired many times, but after all, it does not dare to trespass, the ordinary people in the East China Sea City, according to the regulations, the house also has a few acres of square circle, Liu's Mansion covers an area of nearly ten acres, the overlapping three courtyards, the gallery carved columns, that is, the window paper is also good oil paper, and the birds and grass insects are painted on it, which is very exquisite.

Sitting on the low couch in the study, Lu Ning began to be a little unaccustomed to these low furniture, and said in his heart that the northern Hu bed and the like, high-legged furniture have appeared, and when he has time, he will also start to make some tables and chairs that look like later generations.

can sit on the soft couch and flip through the book, after a long time, Lu Ning suddenly felt that if it was a rest and bed, this kind of lifestyle would not be bad now, but it would be convenient to meet guests or have tall tables and chairs in the living room.

In the study, the floor is paved for a mat, and there are various books on the low table in the corner, and what Lu Ning is looking at is the account book left by the Qiao She people.

The Liu family's property has 956 acres of good land, 200 acres of middle fields, and 3,000 acres of lower fields.

Its Ueda Nakata is on the outskirts of the city.

The 3,000 acres of land are all in the area of the Yellow River in the north.

Of course, in fact, now that the taxes of the whole territory are allocated by themselves, how much land the Liu family has is not so important to themselves.

Look down.

There are still a few shops in the city, there are quality warehouses, that is, the prototype of pawnshops, as well as rice shops, salt shops, silk shops, etc., but they are varied, monopolizing nearly half of the commodity trading in Donghai City.

But I don't want to, this Liu Zhicai is really the number one tyrant in the city.

Further down, there were 200 pieces of money, 150 horses of fine brocade, 300 horses of silk, some gold and silver, 200 stones of rice, 40 stones of beans, wine, sugar, oil, and so on.

The Liu family's treasury, treasury, and grain depot are definitely not just these accumulations, but some of this kind of wealth on the surface will naturally be confiscated and copied into the Haizhou treasury, so what is left behind looks quite a whole number.

In the end, it is the number of slaves, left to Lu Ning, there are thirteen male slaves, nineteen female slaves, look at their names, originally Liu's female dependents, there were four people who were sent as slaves, one wife and two concubines, and the other was a niece who has been living in Liu Zhicai's house, and has been succeeded by Liu Zhicai as a daughter, so she was unlucky to be demoted to a private maid, and Liu Zhicai's two concubines and several maidservants are all living in the garden, and the main wife Gan has been living in the city mansion.

Lu Ning sighed softly in his heart, in this world, it is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to keep a business.

From a certain point of view, this Liu Zhicai is also quite pitiful.

As for Liu Zhicai's wife and concubines, they are even more pitiful.

In this kind of world, if you don't do the biggest, you don't seem to be very safe.

Putting down the account book, Lu Ning pondered for a while, looked at the young man in Tsing Yi standing solemnly next to the door of the study, and said, "Go and invite Mrs. Gan to come." ”

Chen Jiu, a young man in Tsing Yi, is a white straight, that is, Lu Ning, the official servant of the lord of the country, who just followed Lu Ning today, but he is full of spirits, hoping to get the favor of the lord of the country.

Donghai County, which was feuded, is the lord of a country in front of him, and within his own territory, the lord of the country has the power of life and death, which is no different from the power of the emperor.

Serving this lord of the country feels completely different from serving the county commander before.

Standing aside, Chen Jiu didn't dare to come out.

At this time, listening to Lu Ning's instructions, Chen Jiu was slightly stunned, Gan was called "Madame"? It seems that the former housewife of the Liu Mansion has a high status in the heart of the lord of the country.

The little guy in Tsing Yi answered, a vague smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he turned around and walked away.

Lu Ning picked up an ancient book again, looked through it boringly, and before he could hear the sound of footsteps, Gan's soft voice sounded: "Gan Gui'er has seen the Duke of the East China Sea!" ”

Gan stood by the door, feeling extremely complicated.

She and a group of female slaves were under house arrest waiting in the backyard, and when she was nervous, Chen Jiu sent a message, and the lord of the country summoned her, and when she came out, Chen Jiu congratulated her, saying that the lord of the country called her "madam", that she valued Mrs., and it seemed that Mrs. must not be able to stand any suffering.

Chen Jiu had also done a straightforward job for Liu Zhicai before, although this was vague, but it made Gan's extremely ashamed, especially in front of his former subordinates, he watched himself become a slave of a strange man, it was even more embarrassing, and when he entered the study, Chen Jiu took the door from the outside, and Gan's heart jumped again.

Is the new lord on the couch? Unexpectedly, the new arrival is not the county order, but the county is sealed, but there is a lord of the country, in the East China Sea, this monarch is no different from the emperor, with the king like a tiger, I don't know, how is his temper?

"Ah, your name is Gan Gui'er, and your name is very good! Gan Gui'er, Gan Gui'er......" Lu Ning muttered a few times, but he felt that it was a little interesting, before, he really didn't know Mrs. Gan's name.

was called by a strange man by his name, but this man is the lord of the country, but also his own family, and he, who was originally the mother of the house, has now become a slave of others, Gan is ashamed and embarrassed, his face is flushed, and he doesn't know what it feels like in his heart.

Although he has no friendship with Liu Zhicai, no matter what, he used to be the hostess of this house, and Gan even thought about whether to keep the festival to death, but after all, he still hopes that those nightmares will not come, and he will be more tired, but he can be like Li's, someone can rely on, and live in peace and stability.

Relying on his son for his life, he seems to be poor, but in fact, he doesn't know how much he envies her, I really hope that now is an opportunity to make myself live like that.

Her son, although he is demented and frail and sickly, Li always praises and is full of pride for this son, and he has much more hope than he has in those days.

I have always hoped that their mother and son are safe, so I often reward the Li family with some money and food, but I can't help her anything in the future.

Thinking about it, Gan sighed softly in his heart.

"You are very good to my mother, don't worry, I won't be hard for you." Lu Ning said casually, thinking in his heart, in fact, he calculated carefully, if it was not for Mrs. Gan's care for the past two years, he and his mother would have starved to death.

He has been working hard, and after selling the family's land, he has been exhausted, thanks to his mother's helper by Gan's side, he can barely make ends meet.

When Gan heard Lu Ning's words, he was slightly stunned, his apricot eyes couldn't help but glance away, and then he froze, and raised his head suddenly, yes, but in front of him was a young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, no, wasn't it the son of the Li family that he had just thought about?

Yes, the lord of the country, Lu Ning, the son of the Li family, isn't it called Lu Ning?

Gan's whole person was stunned, how could it be him? He has always been frail and sickly, and he was recruited to fight against Zhou at a young age, and Li almost cried blind, but he couldn't help her, and he was relieved to hear that he returned safely.

This morning, I was going to see the life of this mother and son, but he was demented and frail and sickly, and he thought that he would die for a lifetime, and it was a fluke to be able to return safely, how could he make a lot of military achievements and become the lord of this county?

"Mrs. Gan, come here, I have something to discuss with you." Lu Ning pointed to the desk in front of him.

Gan Shi heard him call himself "madam", obviously respecting himself, his heart was a little relaxed, but he didn't dare to trespass, and whispered: "Let's call my name first......" Thinking of Chen Jiu's meaningful smile, his mood was even more complicated.

Lu Ning smiled: "It's just a title." As he spoke, he pointed to the mat in front of him.

Gan hesitated slightly, slightly bent her knees and squatted, Qianqianyu held the upper of her shoes, the jade feet wrapped in Luo socks faded out of the embroidered shoes, and slowly untied Luo socks, under the pale green skirt, faintly revealing attractive snow feet, she walked to the table, hired Ting, and knelt down in front of Lu Ning.

Lu Ning began to be stunned, and then knew that this was the gift of taking off shoes, although this kind of etiquette has declined, but many immigrants from the south follow the old etiquette, and she is her own slave, and in the seat of the study, it is natural that the socks will be removed.

Lu Ning's eyes swept over, but he saw that the socks on the embroidered shoes were gorgeous, and they were embroidered with insects and birds, lifelike, and couldn't help but wonder: "It turns out that today's socks are so beautiful!" Indeed, it was the first time he saw the Luo socks of the Tang people, but he didn't want the Luo socks of the rich and noble people to be so gorgeous, and he was a little surprised.

Gan's pretty face immediately turned red, slightly stunned, and hung his head and did not speak.

Lu Ning then knew that he was a little Meng Lang, coughed, and said: "Mrs. Gan, I don't understand a lot of things about running this family, and I don't have that patience, so please trouble you to be temporarily tired, help me manage it, I will go to the banquet in a while, entertain the envoys from Haizhou, and join the army, so, the family affairs are troublesome to you, pick up my mother and go directly to the other garden!" ”

"Yes, I see." Gan responded, and he didn't know what it was like.

Lu Ning thought about it again and said, "For your convenience, I will give you a name, and in the future, you will be my inner secretary." This is a word in the memory of this life, which originally refers to the maidservant who helps the officials deal with official documents, but for Mrs. Gan, she helps to deal with the affairs of the manor.

Gan nodded silently.

"Okay, then you can do it yourself, and I'll go to the banquet." As he spoke, Lu Ning stood up, Gan's hand was raised to his forehead, and he bowed to the lord's house.
