Chapter 492: The Third Master Arrives
The fifth day of the first month, commonly known as breaking five. On this day, early in the morning, families set off firecrackers to celebrate. After the fifth day, everything slowly returned to the way it was before the Chinese New Year's Eve, the shops were open, from the Chinese New Year's Eve to the present, the men went out to work, the women picked up needlework and worked, and the pedestrians on the streets gradually increased.
On this day, Xiao Nuan's family also moved out of the Qi family and lived in the fourth village in Jingnan. Qin San and Qi Zhiheng sent them to settle down, and then returned to the city to work on the shop. The business of the Beijing branch of Aya Luo Nishang, this diary Xiao Nuan has already explained it to Qin San, and asked him to discuss the implementation of everything in the store with Zhan Cong.
Xiao Nuan lay on the warm kang and sighed with satisfaction. I really don't know why rich people don't burn the kang but use the bed, and sleeping on the big kang in winter is the most enjoyable. After staying for a while, Xiao Nuan instructed, "Green Butterfly, in the name of Qin Rizhan, send a message to Huang Zihou to bring four capable people to the capital to listen and send them." Then let the stewards of the three Zhuangzi rush to the fourth village before the twentieth day of the first month to discuss the spring sowing. ”
For the sake of the relationship with the third master, Xiao Nuan was afraid that he would not be able to return to Jixian County in the past two months, and he would not be able to move around in Beijing as Qin Rizhan, so he had to transfer a few capable people to run errands, and a few granges had to be arranged. This year is a year for her to make a comprehensive layout of her business, and she can't tolerate the slightest sloppiness.
After returning to the Grange, the Qin clan immediately became energetic. She took the maids and the nurses to clean the courtyard of Sanjin, and then sorted and put away the belongings she brought over.
When the three of them, mother and son, entered Beijing, they only brought a carriage and a few people. But when the Qi family moved from the fourth village, the five carriages actually pulled back and forth four times before the belongings were cleared! The first two trips were their salutes and the gifts given by the palace and the objects sent by the various prefectures, and the last two trips were things sent by Qi Zhiheng. Qi Zhiheng saw that the Qin family liked the conservatory, so he simply gave most of the flowers and plants in the conservatory to the Qin family, along with the steward and two florists.
It is the two conservatories that have just been heated in this fourth village, and they are full of greenery and pleasant flowers in less than half a day's work. This was built by King Qing, the eldest brother of Emperor Jianlong, and the courtyard that had been clean for more than ten years was suddenly full of vitality.
In the evening, the Qin family, who had been tired all day, sat on the kang and still discussed with Xiao Nuan in good spirits, "Most of the houses on the side of this Zhuangzi are still empty, and it is estimated that the long-term workers are not satisfied, so it is better to vacate a few places for the villagers to settle down." If they want to start a small business in Beijing or go to the capital, they can also save some money. ”
Xiao Nuan, who was lying on the kang, disagreed, "My mother thinks that our village can sit in a carriage for three or four days, and how many families come to Beijing to play?" ”
It seems that apart from their family, there is only one Chen Zumo family...... The Qin family was silent and asked her to give the house to Chen Zumo to live in, no way!
"Who wants to do business in the capital?"
Seem...... There are only their family and the Chen family......
"My mother just looked at those courtyards empty, and she panicked." Qin Shi smiled, "It's really inappropriate for you to say that. ”
"Most of our neighborhoods are Zhuangzi from various provinces, and the fourth village has to employ people, and it is not easy to find short-term workers, so you have to use long-term workers. When the long-term workers come, the courtyard in the Zhuangzi can be half filled. Xiao Nuan planned, "My mother will transfer ten cotton seeds from the first village to do things, and set aside two more courtyards as a place for the housekeepers to stay." Then clean up the outer courtyard of our courtyard into two, and the children in our Qin clan or the clan school in the village will go to Beijing to study or take the exam in the future, and we can provide a place to live. ”
Qin Shi immediately nodded, "It's still thoughtful." ”
"After two days, my daughter asked her to bring some cotton seeds, and most of the five hectares of land were planted with cotton, leaving some for the people in the village to grow grain, melons, fruits and vegetables." With Xiao Nuan's observation of Emperor Jianlong, he will definitely find an opportunity to show his great virtue of caring about farming. Cotton is planted here to facilitate Emperor Jianlong and others to visit nearby, which is also a double benefit, Emperor Jianlong is happy, and their family can also improve their prestige and act cheaply.
The saint is for the cotton reward of Zhuangzi, and it is natural for Zhuangzi to grow cotton. Qin Shi immediately nodded, "Planting cotton has passed the Qingming Festival, and there are still more than two months to go, so we have to make a total of four Zhuangzi arrangements." You are injured now, why don't you let Niu Dashui and Zhao Changqing take them to plant them first, and then go back after planting here? ”
"My daughter and my mother want to go together, and I have asked Green Butterfly to send a letter back, and let the three Zhuangzi managers come over in advance to discuss the spring ploughing event." Xiao Nuan said with a smile, she and her mother stayed here for two months, and with the ability of the third master, she should be able to convince her mother...... Right?
As he was talking, Cui Qiao walked in quickly, "Madam, King Sheng learned that we have moved here, so he brought gifts to visit. ”
Xiao Nuan twitched the corners of her mouth, as soon as she mentioned him, he arrived, and he really couldn't help but chatter.
Qin immediately stood up, "I'll take a look." ”
"Mother, I ...... too"
"You're not healed yet, stay in the house honestly." After Qin finished speaking, he walked out quickly, Xiao Nuan sighed silently, and lay back on the kang.
When he walked to the second courtyard, he saw Rhubarb guarding a cart of rabbits jumping, and Qin was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
Xiaocao ran over in a hurry, "Mother, look, the third master sent a cart of rabbits to Rhubarb!" ”
It's really a car, and the cages on the car are stacked high next to each other, and they are full of rabbits! The third master also transported a cart of cabbage and radish as rabbit food very considerately......
Qin Shi looked at his family's big yellow dog that was not interested, and his momentum fell and fell. When the third master bowed, the momentum of the Qin clan directly decreased......
After entering the house and taking a seat, the third master looked at the clean Bogu frame and the dwarf table in the living room, and said with a smile, "From the seventh to the seventeenth day of the first month, there are many markets and temple fairs in various parts of the capital, and people can go around. ”
Qin nodded in thanks, and was thinking about how to be clear and beneficial, so as not to make the third master feel the kindness of rejecting him without losing face, but the third master took the initiative to mention his daughter.
"Miss Xiaonuan's injuries are better?"
Qin's heart shrank in fright, and hurriedly replied, "Xiao Nuan used the medicine sent by the Queen Mother and you, and Hua Langzhong took care of her, so she is much better." It's just that this child is tired of staying on the kang and wants to come out, and Qin Dongjia coaxed her at noon, saying that when she recovers from her injury, he will wait for her to go out to catch the temple fair. This child was really spoiled by the courtiers, and the Qin Dong family could stand her. ”
Qin smiled kindly and with satisfaction.
Of course, the third master understood this, but he smiled and said, "After the spring flowers bloom, it is time to come out and walk around, and Mrs. can also take the two girls to the king's small village for a walk, and in a few days, the apricot blossoms will bloom." ”
He didn't understand what he meant? Qin's heart was worried......
"This is the steward of the grange, Wang Quanyou, if the grange needs people or fertilizer, you can call him to run errands." The third master said again.
Wang Quanyou, the former second housekeeper of the Shengwang Mansion and the current steward of the Chengnan Grange, immediately stepped forward and saluted, "The villain Wang Quanyou has a greeting to Anren." ”
The Qin clan was about to refuse, but when he saw Tian Guinong in the courtyard squeezing his eyebrows at her, he responded, "We are indeed unfamiliar with people here and are not good at doing things, thank you for your kindness." ”
After King Sheng left, Tian Guinong came in and said happily to the Qin family, "The owner doesn't know that Wang Quan is the second housekeeper of King Sheng's mansion, and his ability is very great!" If he helps, we don't have to worry about the fertilizer and long-term workers in the grange! ”
The second butler of the Prince's Mansion runs errands for them! Tian Guinong laughed and became a fool, this is too face-saving, it seems that the rumors about King Sheng outside are all false, what a good person this is......
Crops and flowers, all rely on fertilizer, this is really refused. Qin Shi went back to the backyard, sat on the kang and said sadly, "Xiao Nuan, why do I think that the third master has taken special care of our family since he beat you and injured you, doesn't he really like you?" ”
