Chapter 499: The Butler's Wish
The fourth day of the Lunar New Year is the day when Qin Huai Dao's mansion feasts guests, and the mansion has drawn a large number of people from Qinzhuang to come to work, and early in the morning, the mansion began to be busy.
Qin Daniu's two brothers and daughters-in-law have come over, and the two younger brothers have also come over, originally the family just needs a man and a woman.
On the first day of the new year, the two of them specially found the housekeeper and said that they hoped to come, and the housekeeper heard that they were willing to come, and of course agreed.
I also thought in my heart, help them, not to look at their face, but to look at Qin Da Niu's face, the old man trusts Qin Da Niu very much, of course, he also trusts himself very much,
It's just that he is old, and now the Qin Mansion is really a big business, and in terms of the things and people he manages, it is several times that of before, and he feels a little powerless.
Therefore, last winter, he mentioned this matter to Li Lixian, hoping that Li Lixian could find a new housekeeper.
Li Lixian also has a lot of respect for the housekeeper, knowing that he is an old man of the Qin Mansion, he is very loyal to the Qin Mansion, and he is also diligent in doing things, so he asked the housekeeper to propose people,
The housekeeper proposed three people, one of whom was Qin Da Niu, and Qin Da Niu was the youngest, and the housekeeper said that a housekeeper needs to be managed for a long time, and it is always a change of people, which is not a good thing for the house;
Li Lixian also agreed, and asked the housekeeper to start cultivating Qin Da Niu slowly, but now Qin Da Niu still needs to follow Qin Huaidao's side, but as long as Qin Huai Dao doesn't go out, Qin Da Niu will have to learn from the housekeeper's side.
"Look, these are the materials in the warehouse, all the materials have a list, and they must be registered in and out, so that you can clearly know the material situation of the Qin Mansion, some materials need to be prepared for a long time, once they are missing, you need to prepare and buy them in advance!" The housekeeper took Qin Da Niu and taught Qin Da Niu,
Qin Daniu picked up the list of supplies, looked through it carefully, and nodded.
"For those people below, to be gracious and powerful, that is, in a word, dare to be disloyal to the house, all will be beaten out, the so-called disloyalty, that is, can not be mobilized, disobedient, selfish, such people can not be used, should let them get out, keep it is a trouble,
Also, those people are working, you have to check from time to time, some people, working secretly and slippery, the first time they find out, you can warn, the second time you find out, hit the board fiercely, the third time you find out, drive out, such people, you can't stay,
Of course, if someone has made a meritorious service, he should also be rewarded, and it is okay to assign him some things to manage, but the person in charge must need the lord and the lady to nod and agree, and the lord and lady do not agree, and the eight stewards cannot be arranged! The housekeeper continued to take Qin Da Niu and said, Qin Da Niu nodded.
"Let's go, go and see those boys working, there are a lot of guests in the house today, the kid Qin's family has a big business, I'm really a little overwhelmed!" The housekeeper said to Qin Da Niu with a smile.
"Well, butler, if you retreat, why do you go back to Zhuangzi, I think, the lord and the lady will not agree, right?" Qin Daniu thought of this and asked after the housekeeper.
"I told the lord and the lady that if I wanted to go back to my hometown, the lord and the lady disagreed, saying that I couldn't go back, and wanted me to be on the side of the Qin family ancestral hall, and when I was fine, I could still go around the Qin Mansion.
I understand what the lord and his wife mean, they want to take care of me, and they are afraid that if I go back, there will be no source of income, after all, farming, I estimate that I can't plant a few acres of land, but the boys in the family, the lord has also arranged to go out, and I don't need to worry, so I'm also thinking about whether to stay in the house! The butler smiled and said, a little sad.
"Stay, if there is anything you don't understand, I can still ask you if you are not, besides, butler, don't you want to watch the master and the little master grow up every day?" Qin Da Niu immediately said to the housekeeper.
"Hehe, I think, I dream of it, I just saw the master grow from a child, slowly grow into an adult, knighted, married, and have children, I'm so happy, watching the master grow up, this life has not been in vain!" When the housekeeper heard Qin Daniu say this, he said very happily and emotionally.
"Right? Master you watched grow up, are you willing to do it? You are willing, the lord and the lady are not willing, no one in the entire Qin Mansion knows, when the old man was unconscious, it was the housekeeper who carried the entire Qin Mansion on his shoulders. Qin Da Niu praised the housekeeper in the back and said.
"Well, don't mention that, this is our housekeeper's duty, when the old lady left, he took my hand and said that he didn't worry about the two little masters, let me take care of it more,
I think that when I go to see the old lady, the old lady will definitely reward me, and I have lived up to the old lady's entrustment! The butler smiled and said,
For the Qin Mansion, he has dedicated his life here, and he knows every grass, tree, brick and tile of the Qin Mansion.
"You guys, work hard, what are you talking about? Is it time to chat? And you, you kid if you do this again, I'm going to beat you! The butler saw a few people chatting and immediately warned them.
"Butler, the master is looking for you!" At this moment, a maid trotted, found the housekeeper, and immediately said.
"Oh, good!" When the housekeeper heard this, he immediately went to the study where Qin Huaidao was, Qin Huaidao was entertaining Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong in the study at the moment.
"I've seen Your Majesty, I've seen the King of Hejian, I've seen all the grandfathers of the country, my lord, do you have orders?" When the housekeeper arrived at the study, he immediately saluted Qin Huaidao and the others, and then looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"Butler, my father said that he wanted good wine, and there are still a lot of them in the treasury, right?" Qin Huaidao looked at the housekeeper and asked. "And quite a few!" The butler nodded and said.
"Besides, are there more vegetables in the greenhouse?" Qin Huaidao then asked.
"There are quite a few, a lot of them were picked yesterday, if you continue to pick them today, there may not be any big ones, and it will be a few days!" The housekeeper thought for a moment and said to Qin Huaidao.
"Well, my father is a treat on the eighth day of the new year, and there should be one by then!" Qin Huaidao said to his father.
"That's good, when the time comes, use the vegetables of the Qin Mansion, and everyone remember to come when the time comes!" Li Shimin nodded with a smile and said, Qin Huaidao smiled at the housekeeper and said, "Okay, it's okay, you go get busy first!" ”
The butler immediately took their leave of the housekeeper, and then went on with his work.
"Peping, your main task this year is to repair the palace for my father, I have seen that palace, it is really good, my father likes it!" Li Shimin said happily Qin Huaidao.
"Your Majesty, did you see it? How can you see that? Cheng Yanjin looked at Li Shimin in surprise and asked.
"Hehe, there are that renderings, if Peping speaks, haha, when the time comes, there will be you who bite the gold, remember to come to me to play more, there are all kinds of games, all in one house!" Li Shimin said to them with a smile!
"Can you still draw this?" When Yu Chi Baolin heard it, she looked at Qin Huaidao in surprise and asked.
"Yes!" Qin Huaidao smiled and nodded.
"Pepin, paint for me too, I'm going to build five houses, haha!" Cheng Yanjin said to Qin Huaidao very happily.
"Five houses?" When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he looked at Cheng Yanjin in surprise.
"That's not it, now I'm also rich, right? Five! Cheng Yanjin said and stretched out a hand, saying to the eldest grandson Wuji very prominently. The eldest grandson Wuji was very shocked that Cheng Biting Jin, a poor ghost, actually had the money to build a house.
"Auxiliary, don't listen to him brag, the land of the five houses added up to only 50 acres, how big can it be?" Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and said.
"That's also built by me, the old man has arranged for the six boys in his hands, by the way, Pepin, when I can't turn around in my hands, you have to give me some evenness!" Cheng Yanjin is still very proud, and it is not small to be able to build a house of 50 acres.
"Okay, when my uncle needs it, just send someone to inform you!" Qin Huaidao smiled and nodded.
And the eldest grandson Wuji muttered in his heart, are their generals so rich? Can even Cheng bite the gold and afford to build a house?
Cheng Yanjin has six sons, and the family does not have much property, Cheng Yanjin also loves to drink, and he can't save a few dollars in a year, but now he can arrange for those sons to live outside the mansion.
As for himself, there are more sons, 9, and now they all live in Zhao Guogong's mansion, which is also very crowded, and he also wants to build a house, but he really doesn't have that much money.
"That, Pepin, the old man also wants to build a house, maybe design one for the old man?" The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"You're going to build a house, and you have the money to build a house?" Cheng Yanjin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with disdain and said, it is not good to make the eldest grandson Wuji, he really doesn't have much money.
"Hey, no way, there's no business now, Pepin, is there any business?" The eldest grandson Wuji also reacted quickly, and immediately turned to look at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"This, I can't imagine it for a while." Qin Huaidao didn't expect the eldest grandson Wuji to ask this, and he was a little stunned, his relationship with him was not so good.
"It's okay, when you have the money to build, you can find Peping,
By the way, Peping, this year, the university will open a course on things, and it must be opened, and in the future, the Ministry of Engineering will recruit all students who want to be things.
In addition, the recruitment of other departments, but also need three percent of the students, on the eighth day of the first month, the father will issue a holy decree, the father hopes, the emperor can carry forward the Tang Dynasty! Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao and said.
"Ah, yes, Father, you agreed?" Qin Huaidao looked at Li Shimin in surprise and asked,
Qin Huaidao and Li Shimin chatted in the palace a few years ago, Qin Huaidao focused on the matter of Gewu, Li Shimin finally knew the importance of Gewu, and the reform of this recruitment was also proposed by Qin Huaidao.
