Chapter 179: A Comfortable Life
Chapter 179: A Comfortable Life
As the villagers on the flowing water seat of Jiangfu said, half a month after returning to Huayin County from Jingshi, Jiangfu released a message that it would select twenty good-looking maidservants and ten clever and capable servants from among the local villagers, preferably literate. At the same time, there is also a small news circulating in Jiangfu: the champion master wants to select ten people including the servant and the scholar from the existing Jiangfu employees. For a while, the crowd was excited, and countless people broke their heads and drilled up and down, hoping to get a place from it.
Of course, everyone wants to rob it, you know, to work as a hired worker in the Jiang family's industry. Three meals a day are full, and there is fish and meat every other day.
The wages of an ordinary farm account are equivalent to the salaries of the county magistrates, and they are never in arrears. And every six months, there is also an additional salary called "industrial dividend" that can be paid. This industrial dividend is half of the total net profit of all the industries of the Jiang family in half a year, and is given to all the employees of the Jiang family's industry. Depending on the type of work and the usual performance of the employee, the dividend may be more or less......
The matter of recruiting more manpower is, of course, carried out with a small nod of willingness. After returning from Beijing, Xiaoxiao deeply felt that the current Jiangfu was understaffed. The Jiang family now has a big business, and there are nearly 100 employees in the royal farm and the drunken villa alone. However, at No. 1 Zuixiao Villa where Jiang Fu and herself lived, all the servants added up to less than twenty people, and these twenty people had to serve, including the four old people, "Brother Jiang Yun and Jiang Feng and their families, as well as Xiao Xiao, they were really a little too busy.
Therefore, Xiaoxiao decided to do a big recruitment, after all, she always used the servants sent by her father and mother, and she was too reluctant to go. Needless to say, Mrs. Li gave the two of them to Xiaoxiao, and their salaries were put by Xiaoxiao. But now, the guards, including Yao Shan, and the eight maids and servants who followed this time, are all paid by Mrs. Li. How does this work? Although Li Mansion has some industries, Li Rusong is an honest official, and his current expenses are already a little stretched. After these more than ten servants were assigned to Xiaoxiao, they had to be recruited separately, which meant that they had to pay more than ten more salaries. Although this will not be the straw that breaks the camel's back, it will be a lot of money.
Xiaoxiao once thought about giving silver to his father and mother, but his father and mother resolutely refused to accept it.
After thinking about it, it was really inappropriate to do this, so I didn't insist. When I came back this time, it happened that the second aunt mentioned it, so Xiaoxiao simply recruited more people, anyway, now the Jiang Mansion can't afford to support these people......
As the belly grows day by day, the small movement has become more and more inconvenient. Her body is already delicate, and she doesn't know what she is pregnant with, but she is even more pregnant than the original tiger head. As a result, by late May, she was rarely going out. First, the weather outside was getting hotter, and second, I really didn't have the strength to move around. It's hard to take a walk in the garden every day......
After Jiang Zhixuan returned to Huayin County, except for the first few days, he participated in some squires and celebrities. The rest of the time is also in peace of mind in the drunken villa with his wife and children, in the middle of May, because Xiaoxiao can't see him make his baby son cry every time, after all, he still sent him back to the Jiang Jiayi School to teach.
This is incredible, and the new champion of the three yuan in the hall teaches it personally. The number of students in the Jiang Jiayi School suddenly skyrocketed, and everyone wanted their children to be stained with some of the aura of the champions.
Even people from neighboring counties and state capitals began to send their children who would go to school in the county for hundreds of miles to the Jiangjiayi School......
Several respected old teachers in the Jiang Jiayi School were originally not convinced by Jiang Zhixuan. But after Jiang Zhixuan came back this time, even Dr. Xiao, who was originally the most picky about Jiang Zhixuan, became polite to him. In ancient times, the literati did learning, paying attention to a "master first", and even the Jinshi of the middle and three yuans, in the eyes of all the teachings, was already close to the existence of freaks, where was there still the slightest dissatisfaction! Therefore, although the teaching task is much heavier, all the teaching and learning are more conscientious and dedicated to teaching students......
May 23.
At noon, the sun was blazing outside, and although there was a slight breeze, the wind was carrying extremely uncomfortable heat. The bluestone path outside the Drunken Xiao Villa is scorched by the scorching sun, emitting bursts of strong heat, and if you look closely, you can even see that the air on the surface is a little distorted......
In such a hot weather, the Zuixiao villas are as cool as spring. Xiao Xiaogang finished walking in the garden of the villa with the support of the maid, and was lying on her bright leisure chair at this time, swaying very comfortably. The maid next to her wanted to fan her with a pipa fan, but she stopped her again and again:
"It's so cool, where do you need a fan?"
The maid stuck out her tongue when she heard this, and retreated with a fan. Xiao Xiao continued to squint and enjoy this
Comfortable life, leaving the Jingshi, there are no rules to pay attention to in my father's place, there is no cautiousness to see the eldest grandson queen from time to time, and there is no Zhu Xin, Wu Siyuan and those people add blockage to my heart. In this Jiang Mansion, you are the master of your own house, and you are the rules, how can you not be comfortable on this kind of day? Apart from......
"Huh...... Mrs. Jiang, aren't you going to interview those new recruits today? Why are you still so idle? At the door of the back garden, Jiang Zhixuan leaned against the door of the circular arch, stretched his head out and asked.
After returning from Jingshi, Jiang Zhixuan regained his previous lightness and humor. Especially after returning to the Jiang Jiayi School, perhaps it was those innocent children who infected him, so that every time he came back from the school, he would laugh with Xiaoxiao for a while.
Xiaoxiao listened to her husband's words in a weird way, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and raised a green jade finger holding the armrest of the free chair slightly, pointed to the door, and said lazily in an even weirder tone:
"Jiang Jiaoxi, if you have lunch, please hurry up and prepare for class. Mrs. Ben's school does not support idlers......"
Jiang Zhixuan straightened up his face and corrected in a righteous and stern manner: "Mrs. Jiang, I must remind you that the person who is talking to you is a dignified new champion, please pay attention to your words and tone ......."
Xiao Xiaomei rolled her eyes: "Standing in front of Mrs. Ben, she is just an ordinary teacher in my Jiang Jiayi School." Mrs. Ben also reminds you that Mrs. Ben is the owner of the Jiang Jiayi School, if you grind again, Mrs. Ben will deduct your salary this month and fine you for half a year, how does Jiang Jiao Xi think ......? “
Jiang Zhixuan spread his hands and didn't frown: "Listen to me, I have to go see my baby son......
As he was talking, the eldest young master of Jiangfu took a figure-eight step, taking the hand of the beard one step at a time
He walked out of the hall of the villa. Jiang Zhixuan suddenly smiled and shouted: "Tiger head obediently my son, come on, let Daddy hug me!" “
Hearing this, the tiger head raised his head, and saw that it was the father who always made him unhappy. The faint little eyebrows frowned, the smooth little head shook like a rattle, and saliva dripped down the pink lips. While shaking his head, he shouted "Mother, mother...... mother" very clearly.
Jiang Zhixuan was embarrassed, looked at the big fat boy with envy on his face, rushed to his beloved wife, and affectionately took his beloved wife's hand and coquettishly, but he didn't have the slightest way.
It's also strange to say, it is said that since the tiger head was born, Jiang Zhixuan has not been far away.
He accompanies his wife and children every day, but the baby bump of the tiger head just doesn't buy his account. When he was in a good mood, Jiang Zhixuan could kiss him, as long as he was a little unhappy, Jiang Zhixuan would find it difficult to get close to him.
Because of this, Jiang Zhixuan was depressed several times, but fortunately, Xiaoxiao's persuasion was effective, and he said that his son was close to his mother when he was young, and he became close to his father after he became sensible. That's why Jiang Zhixuan was able to let go a little more, gritted his teeth and suffered, watching his lovely son with red eyes and sticking to his mother every day, so that his eyes were about to get pink eye, and he was looking forward to the day when his son grew up and became sensible......
Xiaoxiao saw that his son ignored his father again, and only cared about being sticky with himself, in order to take care of his husband's feelings, after teasing the tiger head a little, he let him play with the beard. This made Jiang Zhixuan stomp his feet again, such a good opportunity for intimacy, if it was placed on me, I would have to hold my son and play for two hours......
Shaking his head in pain, Jiang Zhixuan turned around with a bitter look on his face and walked towards the garden gate. Xiaoxiao saw that her husband was a little lost, worried that he couldn't see it in his heart, so she hurriedly shouted: "Husband, why are you going?" “
Jiang Zhixuan turned his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm teasing...... Oh no, I teach other people's sons to ......"
Xiao Xiao smiled: "Come back early in the evening, the concubine has nothing to do in the past two days, and she made a set of clothes for her husband, please try it at night to see if it fits!" “
Jiang Zhixuan found a little comfort in his heart: "The clothes made by Madame have never been ill-fitting, hehe!" Mrs. is resting at home, and this teaching is ...... to start work."
After sending off her husband, she took a short nap. As soon as I woke up, I heard a maid report:
"Madam, the people who came to participate in the final re-examination are here, and they are all waiting outside the villa!"
Xiaoxiao just woke up, a little lazy, and regretted a little in her heart: I didn't toss if I knew it, let Qing'er do it.
But after thinking about it, I still feel that this matter must be handled by myself. After all, these people are the foundation of Jiangfu in the future, and if the foundation is not laid well, there will be many problems in the future. Thinking like this, I had to cheer up and speak:
"Let them all come in, you lead the men to the side hall and wait, and all the women are called outside the back garden, and then listen to my orders, let them in one by one..."
