The news of Xiao Zhu Daochang's funeral for a humble girl is like wings, and it spreads all over the streets and alleys of Jinling City in just one day, some people are stunned, some people are disdainful, and more ordinary people are lamenting and praise, and they are full of respect and affection for the affectionate and righteous little Zhu Daochang, and they feel very cordial.

Many celebrities who wanted to meet Daoist Zhu to exchange skills and listen to the sound of the piano, as well as those famous prostitutes on both sides of the Qinhuai Strait, took this opportunity to send greetings to Daoist Xiaozhu.

In the evening.

There was silence in the west courtyard of Zizhu Garden, Zhu Daolin hastily returned to the study after dinner, sorted out more than 30 various worship posts on the table, and silently thought about the selection of the housekeeper of the west cross courtyard with a teacup.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Zhu Daolin finally made up his mind and told Mei Yatou to call the coachman Lao Shi, and then sighed secretly.

From the beginning of the trance to the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, it has been nearly three months now, and there are still few talented loyal servants around him, this situation has to make Zhu Daolin feel helpless, and finally he can only promote the coachman Lao Shi to this position.

Lao Shi has already shown Zhu Daolin his heart to belong to him through his actions, but Zhu Daolin, who readily accepted it on the surface, has always been wary of Lao Shi introduced by the family and under the command of Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, and it is a helpless move to take this opportunity to promote Lao Shi to the position of housekeeper, but it is also an ingenious means to kill multiple birds with one stone.

The old history with a sudden rise in status will be grateful, the Ying family and Wei Guogong have also gained face, Zhu Daolin has better protected his interests through the rise and fall of the old history, after all, the focus of work and life in the future is no longer Zizhu Garden, but the newly built mansion at the foot of Tiger Mountain, which is the root of Zhu Daolin.

Lao Shi came quickly under the guidance of Mei Yatou, Zhu Daolin pointed to the Nanmu chair in front of the desk and motioned for him to sit down, and Xiaoying brought a cup of fragrant tea to Lao Shi in time.

Old Shi, who has realized that Xiaoying is likely to become the main mother, dares to slack off? He respectfully took the teacup with both hands and thanked him in a low voice before daring to sit down.

Zhu Daolin looked at the old history quite seriously: "Due to my negligence, nearly 30 people in the West Cross Courtyard have not been taken care of so far, the care of the courtyard and the outside of the courtyard, the purchase of rice, grain, oil and salt, the payment of people's wages, etc., I don't know who to find to make an idea, and if something happens, I will make a mess, and I don't know who will supervise the implementation of the rules set by the two sisters-in-law of the Ying family, so it is not a way to go on." ”

"So, I decided to let your old history take up this burden and serve as the head of the West Cross Courtyard and the entire Zizhu Garden, are you willing?"

Lao Shi was surprised and delighted, and stood up and bent down deeply in fear: "The little one is worried that he is not capable enough and has the weight of the owner!" ”

"If it's just ...... If it's just this west across the hospital, the small one gritted his teeth and asked more questions, and reported to the owner for instructions, maybe he could still manage it, but if he added the nearly 1,000 orphans and the old and weak in the Zizhu Garden, the Yixue that was about to be completed, the book printing workshop, the Keats Medical Center and other industries, how could the small one have the ability to manage it? ”

Zhu Daolin waved his hand and said very firmly: "If someone else says such kind words, I will just laugh and laugh, but these words come out of your old history's mouth, it really shouldn't be!" ”

"Although your old history and I don't get along for a long time, we can meet each other and know each other, I believe in your old history's ability, and you value your character even more, you have been in the army for 20 years, you have a wide range of knowledge, rich experience, and even you have experienced life and death on the battlefield, what else can be difficult for you?"

"So, just say kind words, straighten up your chest and share more for me, who you want to promote, or ask any helper from the outside to set up a shelf, how much money it will cost, you have full discretion, if there is anything you can't decide, come to me again, I will hand over the entire Zizhu Garden to you Lao Shi!"

"The ...... of the owner"

Lao Shi was completely moved, his usually bony eyes were flushed at the moment, and his beard, which had not rested for a few days, was shaking vigorously.

Zhu Daolin stood up with a smile, took two steps forward and put his hand on Lao Shi's shoulder: "There is one more thing you have to take to heart, in another three months or so, all the housing, schools, playgrounds, medical halls and workshops in Zizhuyuan will be completed one after another, and many industries, including this West Cross Hospital, cannot be without the good hands of the nursing home, I estimate that it will take at least nearly 100 people." ”

"If you have the opportunity, you can select a group of good seedlings from the 800 children who are righteous to teach martial arts, practice martial arts while studying, and you will be able to use them in a few years."

Lao Shi suppressed the excitement in his heart and nodded to Zhu Daolin: "Draw up a charter within three days and hand it over to the owner for decision!" ”

Zhu Daolin was very satisfied: "This is better, when you have drawn up the charter, we will sit together and discuss it slowly, I will gather all the subordinates early tomorrow morning, as well as the four stewards of other places in Zizhu Courtyard, appoint you as the head of Zizhu Garden, and hand you five thousand taels of silver as a reserve gold." ”

"From then on, all the affairs in Zizhu Courtyard, including the big and small stewards of the medical hall, Yixue, and printing workshops, as well as the money and expenses of various places, will be in charge of your old history, and if anyone doesn't open his eyes, you will let him roll up and leave."

"Thank you, owner! The small one will never live up to the trust and entrustment of the owner, even if you don't eat or sleep, you have to do a good job! Old Shi made a promise with confidence.

Zhu Daolin smiled slightly, and gave Lao Shi a punch in the chest: "I won't send you out, I'm afraid you will have to think about how to talk in front of a large group of people tomorrow morning." ”

Lao Shi grinned, then put away his smile and took a step back, solemnly saluted Zhu Daolin again, turned to the side and smiled at the little shadow girl to give another salute, and took a few steps back to the door before turning around carefully.

Zhu Daolin put down a big matter, glanced at Xiaoying, who was adding tea for himself, thought for a while and asked in a low voice, "What do you think of my arrangement?" ”

Xiaoying put down the exquisite purple clay pot, hesitated for a moment and plucked up her courage: "The slave family has the courage to speak out, except for Zhao Mengshan and Brother Zhao, only Brother Shi can bear the trust of Childe, since Childe did not choose Brother Zhao, it is estimated that there are more important things that Brother Zhao needs to do...... I don't know if what the slave said is right? ”

Zhu Daolin was overjoyed, hugged Xiaoying over, gave her a hard touch on her panicked face, and helped her to sit on his lap:

"My little shadow is really extraordinary, after getting married, the mansion under Tiger Mountain will be entrusted to you."

Xiaoying was excited and shy, buried her pretty face deep in Zhu Daolin's chest, and muttered: "What if...... If the son is uncomfortable, he will have the slave family, and the slave family is willing to ......"

Zhu Daolin, who took advantage of the fire to rob, was surprised and delighted, only to feel that the blood in his body was rushing and his heart was beating faster, and he didn't want to think about it, so he lowered his head to find Xiaoying's fragrant lips, and imprinted them deeply, never wanting to part anymore.

"Childe, Qin Huai Xu is here, and the sedan chair has entered the courtyard...... Yes?! ”

Mei Yatou, who ran into the study to report the news, was suddenly stunned, and looked at Zhu Daolin and Xiaoying, who were hugging and entangled with heat, and kissing tightly at the desk, and couldn't move half a step anymore.

Zhu Daolin regretfully separated from Xiaoying, and no matter how shocked the charming girl on the side was, he gently combed Xiaoying's messy hair, and it took a lot of effort to calm down the disordered breathing:

"Listen girl, I don't want you to leave regrets, wait until the night of the candles in the cave room, and then let me love you well! Okay, let's go into the back room and sort it out, Xu everyone will come to visit at this time, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as exchanging piano skills. ”

Xiaoying, who was weak all over, nodded slightly, slid down Zhu Daolin's comfortable legs with a hot face, staggered a few steps to stabilize his soft body, and walked to the back room in a daze.
