The butler nodded, and spoke.

"After all, there are now female dependents in the backyard, so it is no longer appropriate for my husband to live in the backyard. I see that there is still a room on the Zhuangzi, why don't you live there? ”

Zhongli reached out and tapped his cheek, and only sighed softly after a long time.

"We'll talk about that later."

She also plans to build a big private school for Liu Qingdong in the village to make the children's lives better.

After all, you can't be bitter about anything, can you?

Moreover, Liu Qingdong also watched it, at least this kid hasn't read and read like a fool, which is not bad.

Zhongli smiled, but remembered something else.

"By the way, there's one thing I want to tell you."

So, Zhongli told the other party his thoughts, and saw the young housekeeper staring at her in horror and inexplicably.

"Why do you look at me like that? Is there anything wrong with that? I didn't let them go to study and take the top prize or anything, at least they had to be able to read and write. ”

The old butler's eyes were red and he was about to kneel down towards Zhongli as soon as he lifted the hem of his skirt, but she dragged him up.

"What are you doing? Don't get down on your knees, get up. This is actually just my selfishness, they can only understand etiquette and numeracy if they can read and write. ”

"It's still the kindness of the master's family, if they don't do their job well, I'm sorry for the sincerity of the master's family to them."

If the housekeeper came before because of Zhao Yiyan's explanation, now it has only been a few days, and he has been conquered by Zhongli.

Zhongli was a little helpless, after all, after coming here for so long, she still couldn't accept the other party's kneeling to her at every turn.

couldn't help but sigh softly, and took the initiative to get up and help the person up.

"You don't have to think too well of me, after all, I have my own selfish intentions. I'm going to be upset in that case. Therefore, I instruct you to do things, and there are rewards and punishments, and this is justice. ”

Fair?

The housekeeper was helped up by Zhongli and looked at each other with some surprise.

What justice is there in this generation? In particular, those people were nothing more than servants of the death contract that Zhongli had bought.

However, he also saw that the master from the family seemed to be different from others, so he smiled and responded.

Zhongli smiled, and then nodded at him.

"Although you are the steward of the inner court, no better than the outer court, I will not treat you badly. You have it in the outer court, and you have it too, but I have one more requirement for you. ”

Zhongli was serious, with a serious face.

The butler straightened up and nodded heavily at Zhongli.

"Childe, you just command."

Zhongli smiled.

"Train me a few stewards, you know, I don't want ordinary stewards."

The other party's eyes lit up, and he nodded at Zhongli with some excitement.

Zhongli then handed the object in his hand to the other party.

"This, you can go down and arrange it yourself!"

Here are some of the plans I have recently made.

The other party glanced at Zhongli with some surprise, and left with surprise and complicated thoughts.

After everyone left, Zhongli smiled bitterly, and sat on the chair as if he had lost his strength, his face full of bitterness.

Dealing with people, especially this kind of person, is the most difficult.

It's not good to be too good, it's not good to be too bad.

At least, the butler seems to be okay now, just don't have any crooked thoughts. However, Zhongli was also sure that what he had let the other party see in the past few days was enough to deter him.

"Second brother, second brother, can I not learn that one? It's just annoying. ”

The fourth Zhong Lijue (Zhong Xiaodi) rushed in from the outside, although he was dressed as a boy, he still had a strong little daughter's coquettishness, which made people look like a more arrogant and handsome little student.

Zhongli smiled and beckoned to her, took the person into his arms, and smiled and reached out to scratch the bridge of her nose.

"Wasn't it okay before? Why is it annoying now? ”

The children of the Zhong family are big and small, and Zhong Xiaodi is only six or seven years old now, and it is the time to be fun and active.

Zhong Lijue pursed his lips, reached out and pulled the sleeve of the second sister's clothes, frowned, and grinned a little embarrassedly.

"Second brother, people just don't want to learn."

It's just that the eyes that keep rolling around make Zhongli feel funny.

Reach out and pat the top of her hair.

"If you don't want to learn, you don't want to learn, so what do you want to learn?"

Zhong Lijue's eyes looked at this Zhongli with bright eyes, biting his lip, fiddling with his fingers shyly, looking at Zhongli with a slight tremor in his eyes, and only after a long time did he speak as thin as a gnat.

"People want to learn needlework."

It's a little girl in the end.

Zhong Li was stunned for a moment, then slowly put away the smile in his eyes and looked at Zhong Lijue with a straight face.

"Give me a reason why you're going to abandon this and not learn that?"

Zhong Lijue bit his lip, feeling a little scared of Zhongli like this, but suddenly thought of something, raised his head and looked at Zhongli with bright eyes.

"Second brother, I was originally a ......"

She paused, then continued.

"When my mother was alive, she said that she would teach us to learn needlework, but now that we have the conditions, why do we have to learn to read all day long? Am I the same as three little four, little five, and one and another? ”

When Zhongli heard this, his face changed, he reached out and slapped the table heavily, and directly raised his voice to call the little guy who was guarding outside in.

"Go, check for me, who is spreading rumors in front of the fourth son? Call me at once, I want to see if my lord is too lenient with them! ”

The little guy left.

Zhong Lijue was frightened and stupid, looking at Zhong Li who was suddenly angry, with red circles under his eyes, letting tears roll in his eyes, but he refused to fall.

When Zhongli saw her like this, his heart was also sour.

He reached out and took the person into his arms, patting her on the back.

"Don't cry, don't cry, it's not your fault."

When Zhong Lijue heard this, he let out a "wow" and cried.

When the masters of the entire Zhong family got the news, they all rushed in, and when they saw the scene in front of them, Zhong Liyu frowned and hurried over.

"What's going on? What happened to Little Four? ”

Zhongli let his subordinates leave, and then he repeated what he had just said, and then looked up at his younger siblings with complicated eyes, and sighed softly.

"It's all mine, I've been busy with things outside, and I'm also responsible for forgetting to teach you. I always want to give you food, clothing, and housing, and I just ask for a master. Now it seems that I think it is worse. ”

The other children haven't opened their mouths yet, but they saw the third Zhong Liyue standing up directly, he has been well recuperated, and now his body has pulled out a lot, plus he eats well, lives well, and uses it well, the whole person is a little more gentlemanly, warm and jade-like.

"Second brother, you don't have to be like this. It's not your fault, the second brother is planning in many ways outside, and he is very tired, it's all my fault, I didn't take good care of my sister. ”

Zhong Liyu also stood up and admitted his mistake.

After all, now all the families are supported by Zhongli, and if Zhongli falls, the consequences will be unimaginable.

She is a person and a woman.

To be able to do it now, it is enough.

Zhongli smiled, but he reached out and gently patted the little girl who was sobbing in his arms, and looked straight at the eldest sister.

"Our Zhong family has no background. So it's especially difficult to take it step by step. Fortunately, we have more children, as the saying goes, brothers work together, and their profits are broken. If you have ancestral training in your family, you can't enter the office, so I'll give you a secret. Everyone swallowed my mother's affairs in my stomach and brought them into the coffin. If we have the ability, we will naturally look it up. If we don't have one, then gather strength. If we can't get into the office, we can still farm and be a big landlord, which is not bad! It is better to buy me all the land in the world, and I want to see who will live and who will die when the time comes! ”

Zhongli slammed the table.

Zhong Liyu looked at Zhong Li with some surprise, but when he turned his eyes, he saw that the eyes of his other younger brothers were all shining.

"Ah Li, you ......"

Zhongli hooked the corners of his lips, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and he snorted coldly.

"Telling you this, I also let you weigh it yourself, and don't always talk about what you used to do. And, what if we're girls? Is it important to be a needlewoman? Lijue, could it be that the clothes you are wearing were made for you by your eldest brother or me? ”

Zhong Lijue's small body shook and shook his head at Zhong Li.

"No!"

"If you know if you have any, remember it for me. The children of our Zhong family, both men and women, are all precious. Especially girls, what is the use of needlework? Is it possible that you will have to make a living in the future? ”

Then she could have crashed to death!

Zhong Liyue also stood up and nodded at this time.

"Yes, it's just a matter of paying people to do it. Sister, this is a momentary mistake, second brother, you can spare her! ”

Zhongli nodded, his gaze focused on the two little fours and fives dressed as women.

"Now the family is not as good as before, you all show me the appearance of masters, they are your servants, maids, and servants. It can't be an ancestor, if anyone is disobedient, just throw it out. If I find out that something like this happens to Xiao Si again, not only will they be driven away, but you will also be punished, you know? ”

The children glanced at each other and nodded their heads.

Only Zhong Lijue held his mouth aggrievedly, staring at his toes with lowered eyes.

Zhongli let the others leave, and then he held the person in his arms again, and taught him a little bit.

"What the second brother just said, right?"

"Yes!"

Zhong Lijue hesitated for a long time and nodded his little head.

"I changed your maid for you, but you don't want to follow the crowd. You are now a little boy and your main purpose is to study. ”

"Why those? I won't need it again. ”

Zhongli was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and reached out to pat the little girl.

"Okay, don't learn. You will follow me in the future, and I will teach you personally. ”
