Chapter 68: The Farm

Old Madam Jing seemed to just mention Steward Li in passing, and sighed softly, that is, she would not continue the topic, but Jiang Long could see that Old Madam Jing still attached more importance to Steward Li.

So Jiang Long lowered his head, his brows furrowed, and his eyes condensed slightly.

Although he had only met once, he had basically figured out Steward Li's temperament.

I don't hate this person, but how important is the financial power of the house?

When he is truly in charge, he will definitely hand over the treasury and account room to his right-hand man to manage.

You should always be more at ease and handy when you use your own people.

Of course, Old Madam Jing didn't know what Jiang Long was thinking at this time, and in her opinion, Jiang Long was still too young, and he had never been in contact with the affairs of the mansion before, even if he had to train for five or six years, or even seven or eight years, at the earliest.

And at that time, whether it is herself or some of the old people who follow her in the house, they are old, and it is time to retire due to lack of energy.

Jiang Long happened to take over all the affairs of the house.

If Jiang Long hadn't crossed over, Mrs. Jing's thoughts would not be wrong.

The Jingfu family has a big business, and a young man who is slowly growing up does need to hone for several years before he can take over.

In that case, the new master and Mrs. Jing's old subordinates who should also retire will not have much conflict when the power is transferred.

But now Jiang Long will not wait for several years to take over Jingfu.

There are dangers around him, and he has to help Lin Ya rescue his younger brother, and Jingfu and the crown prince of the current dynasty are also very uneasy, which requires him to find a way to solve it as soon as possible.

And if it weren't for the support of Jingfu's manpower and abundant resources, he would naturally have no way to do it with his empty hands.

Therefore, the prerequisite is to become the real master of Jingfu first.

It seems that conflicts with those old stewards in the house are inevitable, and they should not be able to avoid it.

After Jiang Long figured it out, he slowly raised his head, with a natural look on his face, but there was extreme confidence in his eyes.

After chatting with Mrs. Jing for a while, Jiang Long retired.

Back in the courtyard, Jiang Long told Yuchai and the treasure bottle to go to the farm in the house tomorrow.

"Little young master lied, you promised the slave maid before, and you will drive out tomorrow." The vase immediately shouted in dissatisfaction.

Jiang Long chuckled, raised his hand and rubbed the head of the treasure bottle, "Isn't there a place where Zhuangzi is located at the foot of the mountain, and there is a large garden nearby?" ”

"Hmph, it turned out that I was just going to go on a trip." In the past few days, Jiang Long's body has changed a lot, he is no longer as immature as before, and sometimes he has to be coaxed by a treasure bottle and a jade hairpin, and now he not only has a very attractive temperament, but also has become a lot more mature.

The treasure bottle and the jade hairpin were a little confused and uncomfortable at first, but in the end, after thinking about it, they felt that Jiang Long should have experienced a chase and suddenly matured.

As for not adapting...... The current Jiang Long is really much better than before, and they wish Jiang Long had this kind of change a few years earlier.

The treasure bottle liked Jiang Long's intimate action of rubbing his head very much, and felt that Jiang Long's palm was very warm and comfortable to touch, but she still pretended to be unhappy and gently tilted her head, of course, she would not really dodge, and complained in a low voice.

Yuchai was obviously a little disappointed, and lowered her head, she wanted to have a good day with Jiang Long.

After hearing the news of the outing before, she began to pack up happily, and the original quick movements now slowed down in an instant.

However, Jiang Long's words made her smile again.

"Prepare a change of clothes, we're going to stay on the farm for a few days."

"Great!" The vase jumped up and cheered.

After Jiang Long left, Mrs. Jing sent someone to summon Zhang Jiang and told Jiang Long to take over the affairs of several farms.

"But the young master has never been to the farm before, I'm afraid I don't even have a grain now, right?" Zhang Jiang's was a little unhappy when he heard this, the farm in the house was managed by her, and now Jiang Long came to intervene, just to rob her of power.

"Huh?"

Mrs. Jing's face sank in vain, and she put down the teacup in her hand heavily.

A few drops of warm tea spilled out, wetting the tabletop.

Zhang Jiang secretly screamed that it was not good, and without waiting for Mrs. Jing to get angry, she hurriedly smiled and said: "The slave maid is just worried that the little young master will make his own decisions after going to the farm, which will disrupt the normal order of the farm in the past, after all, there are more than 100 tenant farmers in each farm, and these tenant farmers are still counting on the crops in the field to make a living."

In case the little young master makes a mess of the farm, those tenant farmers will complain in their hearts even if they don't say anything.

But now that you've made up your mind, the slave is naturally supportive. ”

Mrs. Jing also knew that Jing Jianglong had never been in contact with farming before, and it was very likely that something would go wrong when he went to the farm.

But how can young people not make mistakes in the process of growing up?

"If there is really chaos in Jianglong, and the crops in the fields this year are reduced, then the autumn harvest will be compensated to the tenants according to the price." Mrs. Jing is not such an unreasonable person, and at the same time she is very sympathetic to the servants and tenant farmers in the house.

"Yes." Zhang Jiang's face was a little ugly when she heard this, Mrs. Jing said this, she simply told her clearly, she didn't have to think so much, even if Jiang Long made a mistake, it was not a big deal, "Then the slave maid will go to find a steward of the farm and tell him to assist the little young master well." ”

"Go ahead." With the wisdom of Mrs. Jing, where can you not see Zhang Jiang's careful thoughts?

But in the end, he didn't open his mouth to reprimand.

But I don't want Zhang Jiang to dangle under my nose anymore.

"Before looking for a steward, ask Jiang Long to see which farm he wants to take over first."

"Oh."

Zhang Jiang's heart was dissatisfied, she originally wanted to deliberately pick a farm with the worst yield for Jiang Long to take over.

Leaving Mrs. Jing's small courtyard, Zhang Jiang went to look for Jiang Long angrily, since Mrs. Jing had already given an order, she didn't dare to disobey the yin.

At this time, it was noon, and Jiang Long was sitting at the table for lunch.

"Little master, Mama Jiang is here." A small maid ring guarding the door passed outside.

Jiang Long didn't have a good impression of Zhang Jiang's family, if he couldn't see that Mrs. Jing was always very protective of this person, he didn't bother to see it, "Let her come in." ”

"Yes."

As soon as Xiao Yahuan's voice landed, Zhang Jiang vigorously lifted the door curtain and walked in.

Seeing that Zhang Jiang's movements were so large, Jiang Long lowered his eyes, slowly picked up the spoon and took a sip of white fungus lotus seed soup.

Zhang Jiangshi saw that Jiang Long was indifferent to his arrival, not to mention standing up with a little respect to greet him, greeting him, he didn't even look at it directly, his face immediately became gloomy, anyway, she was also Mrs. Jing's right-hand man, Jiang Long was still hugged when she was young.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is half an elder of Jianglong!

Hum!

Zhang Jiang forcibly suppressed the anger churning in his chest, and directly explained his intentions, "The old lady sent me over to ask, which farm in the mansion does the little young master plan to take?" ”

"The one at the foot of Wushi Mountain." Jiang Long is also lazy and talking nonsense with Zhang Jiang.

Zhang Jiang turned around and left, and the two maids who followed her obviously felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and hurriedly saluted Jiang Long before following closely.

"Little master, Mama Jiang has a wide network in the house, and her prestige is also very high." Yuchai, who had quickly stood up since Mama Jiang entered the house, hesitated and spoke.

The treasure bottle also saw that Jiang Long seemed to have some disagreements with Zhang Jiang's family, but he didn't know the reason, and said, "Yes, and the old lady trusts Mama Jiang very much." ”

Jiang Long didn't reply when he heard this, he just raised his head and looked in the direction of the door.

No matter how high Zhang Jiang's prestige is, he is only a steward of Jing Mansion!

I am the little master of Jingfu, is it possible to lower my body to please a housekeeper I don't like?

After Zhang Jiang left Jiang Long's small courtyard in a huff, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore!

Said hatefully: "Go and find the Hu Steward!" ”

The Hu steward is the head of the farm at the foot of Wushi Mountain.

After a while, Steward Hu hurried from outside the house, and Zhang Jiang met Steward Hu at his home.

I don't know what the two whispered in the room, but after the Hu Steward came out, he hurried back to the farm.

Because he didn't deliberately hide it, after a while, the news that Jiang Long was going to take over the farm spread in the mansion.

After a few days of recuperation, Lin Ya's spirit also recovered.

At this time, she had just had lunch and was sitting in front of the bed stroking the gray wolf, Du Juan suddenly broke into the house in a hurry.

The two maids who were temporarily ordered to serve Lin Ya frowned slightly when they saw this.

This Du Juan is really reckless and inferior, don't you know how to pass it on before entering the door?

The two of them secretly glanced at Lin Ya's face, and when they saw that Lin Ya was not angry, they did not make accusations.

It should be that the relationship between master and servant is very good, so I don't care about these little things, the second daughter speculated in her heart.

"Young lady, the slave maid just heard that the little master is going to manage the farm in the house, do you want to go with you?" Du Juan's eyesight is sharp, even if the two maid rings are very careful, but the secret eyes and small movements still do not escape her eyes, but she relies on her special identity to be not afraid of these two girl rings.

Lin Ya's beautiful eyes lit up when she heard this!

The hands holding the gray wolf instinctively tightened.

"Then you can go and ask for me."

Du Juan nodded immediately when she heard this, and then hurriedly turned around and left.

As soon as she stepped out of the threshold and came to the small courtyard, a trace of jealousy flashed in Du Juan's eyes, "You always shirked when you were allowed to approach Jing Jianglong before, but now you can't wait to send it to the door yourself, it seems that this cheap woman is really tempted by Jiang Long!" ”

Although she was jealous of Lin Ya, and changed her mind and planned to get some benefits from Lin Ya, she was a little psychologically perverted, but she just couldn't see Lin Ya well.

After Jiang Long finished eating, he was sitting at the table drinking tea, and heard Du Juan ask to see him.

Du Juan is Lin Ya's other dowry girl, I don't know if it was also sent by the Lin family to monitor Lin Ya?

Jiang Long hadn't had a chance to contact him before, so he put down the teacup and let Du Juan in.

Du Juan walked into the door, not embarrassed at all, as a girl and a maid, she stared at Jiang Long's face in a daze.

Last time, Jiang Long bloomed his talent in Jialan Temple, and Du Juan also admired it.

Yuchai was cleaning up the table, and the treasure vase was holding a copper basin, she had just washed her hands for Jiang Long, who had just eaten, and she was unhappy when she saw Du Juan staring at her master so boldly.

However, Du Juan is the young lady's dowry, according to the convention, after Lin Ya is pregnant, she may be assigned by Lin Ya to go to bed to serve Jiang Long, so even if she is a woman who has secretly ordered Jiang Long, no matter how unhappy they are, they can't say anything.

"The slave has seen the little master." waited until she got closer, Du Juan lowered her head and bent her knees with her hands on her waist, and tried her best to make her movements as beautiful as possible, hoping to attract Jiang Long's attention.

"Get up." However, Jiang Long was unaware of Du Juan's bold direct gaze and elegant salutation movements, reached out and picked up the teacup again, lowered his head and gently blew a few tea leaves floating on the water.

Secretly, he paid attention to Du Juan's every move.

Du Juan is not a real beauty, but her appearance is not bad.

The others are fine, but they have a pair of triangular eyes.

Such people are generally mean, greedy, and ruthless!

"You came to me for something?"

"It's the young lady who heard that you are going out of the house tomorrow to take over a farm, so I sent a slave and maid to ask if you can also bring the young lady."

Jiang Long was silent.

After a while, he nodded slightly, "Yes!" ”
