Chapter 238: Suddenly Seeing the Old Man
I have to say that since the Han family participated in it, Chen Ying has indeed saved a lot of effort, and even the architectural drawings she hand-painted have been improved to the greatest extent under the modification of the craftsmen.
"From top to bottom, the Han family is really a crystal heart, liver and glass person." Chen Ying said with a sigh.
I didn't dare to answer this, and Luo's mother only said in a very soft voice: "The vision of the old man of the Han family is really not low. ”
This is a profound statement, and several of them know it.
On that day, they couldn't visit Guo Wan, and when they returned, they saw the two Qinghu carriages.
The two guards who followed the car, they also knew each other.
After all, this matter can't be hidden for a long time, and it is only a matter of time before it breaks out, after thinking about it again and again, Chen Ying still quietly told the Li family, and Luo's mother also knew about it.
Silently breathing, Chen Ying quickly put aside these thoughts and changed the topic: "It's okay now, Fourth Grandma Qiu doesn't come forward, and the Han family sent by them is also the chief steward of their family, even if there is really something in the future, we can't implicate Fourth Grandma Qiu." ”
She sincerely hopes that Guo Wan will live well and never get involved in any fight.
But for now, it seems that this has become impossible.
This topic was revealed, the master and servant did not mention it, and Shao Zhong finally arrived, because he was sweating profusely when he came, and in this cold spring season, his head was steaming.
"The little one says hello to the third girl." He stood still not far in front of Chen Ying, bowing his waist according to the foot salute.
Chen Ying turned sideways to avoid it, and said with a smile: "Steward Shao is a busy man, I summoned you, I'm afraid that I will delay your business." ”
Shao Zhong hurriedly said, "Don't dare", and said with a smile: "Our old lady explained it earnestly, and told the little one to put everything down and only listen to Miss Chen's assignment, Miss Chen's affairs are the right thing, and the little one should obey his orders." ”
Chen Ying smiled and waved her hand, and said, "Don't be polite to me, I know you have a lot of things to deal with next, and I won't go around in circles with you, so I want to ask, what happened to the orchard?" ”
Han Duanli took care of everything and took the matter of Yantai Orchard, but Pei Shu did not fight with him for some reason.
The Han family was originally a snake on the ground, and they used to be pressed and unable to move, but now that the mountain is gone, they have taken the Li family and the Guogong Mansion again, and there may even be bigger backers, it is the time to raise their eyebrows. In addition, the essential oil of flowers and herbs is very popular, and now it has been sold to Shengjing, and the name of the richest man in Dengzhou will surely return to the hands of the Han family in the near future.
Han Duanli may be out of gratitude for Chen Ying, it is more likely that he has other plans, so he spares no effort to help, for example, he will be able to properly handle the matter of Quancheng Girls' School, and some things that Chen Ying did not expect, he can also think of going forward.
Hearing Chen Ying's question, Shao Zhong took out a piece of paper from his boots and read it aloud: "Forty miles outside Yantai County, we bought 20 acres of land, 1,500 saplings of sand fruit trees, hired 10 fruit farmers, and ......40 people who dug canals."
The list is very detailed, and even the cost is calculated, Chen Ying is a complete layman for fruit tree planting, and now it is just a matter of listening to the cost, and when he finished reading, he smiled and said: "Hard work, you also made a special trip to Yantai for this matter." ”
Shao Zhong handed over the list with both hands, and said with a smile: "The three girls are tormented by the small ones, these are all small ones." ”
Luo's mother stepped forward to take the list, and Chen Ying asked again: "How is the matter of inviting the master?" ”
When Shao Zhong heard this, his face was a little embarrassed, and he said: "Back to the third girl, this matter was done by the old lady herself, and the little one only knows that no one has said that he is willing to come now." ”
Chen Ying sighed, but she didn't feel too lost.
This is expected, even if this girls' school has the permission of Emperor Yuanjia, in the end, it is also the first girls' school for ordinary people in the Great Chu Dynasty, and it is unlikely that male teachers will be hired, as for female teachers, if they are lucky, they will probably be able to invite two or three.
"The little one asks me more, why don't the three girls look for a master in Jinan Mansion?" Shao Zhong asked cautiously.
Dengzhou Mansion is a relatively remote place in Shandong, the literary style is not too prosperous, it is not easy to find a female husband, on the contrary, Jinan is rich in culture, and its choice is much greater than Dengzhou, he doesn't understand why Chen Ying wants to go far and near.
Hearing his words, a wry smile appeared on Chen Ying's face, and he sighed: "I also want to find it in Jinan, but the folk customs in this place are too restrained, and those female masters cherish their feathers more than one another, and it is difficult to move them." ”
She even asked Li Heng to help ask, but to no avail. Most of the learned female masters in Jinan Mansion are in wealthy families, and few are willing to show their heads.
Chen Ying planned that if it really didn't work, she could only borrow a few masters from the Li family's girls' school with a cheeky face, and Chen Ying herself could also serve as a teacher for some courses, and even the Li family could do it.
However, this is all for later, and it is too early to tell.
Thinking like this, Chen Ying's heart suddenly moved, and he asked, "Steward Shao has just returned from Dengzhou Mansion, but I don't know if you have heard about the affairs of the homeless camp?" ”
Shao Zhong was stunned, then came to his senses, bowed down and said, "If the third girl is asking about the homeless camping and walking water, the little one has heard about it. ”
"Oh?" Chen Ying looked at him with burning eyes and asked, "Could you please elaborate on the details?" ”
Shao Zhong hurriedly said: "The little one happened to be in Penglai that day, and on the night of the water, the little one saw the fire from home, and half of the sky burned red. The old lady was very concerned about this matter, and on the second day she asked the little one to go out to inquire, only the camp of the homeless people was guarded by the military master, and the little one only heard that the place where the water was walking was in the west corner, and the people who lived in it used to beg for a living on the wharf, but there was nothing else. ”
It turned out to be those people controlled by the Sea Gang.
Chen Ying nodded silently, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw a few people walking in the distance, and it was Lang Tingyu who was the leader.
She immediately stopped talking, and she was extremely surprised.
Lang Tingyu has already left, why did he go and come back? Could it be that something is wrong?
Thinking in her heart, she asked Luo's mother to send Shao Zhong away, and Lang Tingyu and the others were getting closer and closer, Chen Ying's eyes swept away, and he saw a person following him.
It's Ye Qing!
"Ye Qing?!" She snorted softly, with a surprise on her face that could not be concealed: "You...... What are you doing here? ”
"Nursing home." Ye Qing replied briefly, standing behind Lang Tingyu without moving.
