"It's good."
Xie Wan sat on the kang, listened to Yufang's detailed explanation, and nodded with a smile. "You go and find Steward Luo, I have something to tell him."
Yufang turned around and found Luo Sheng. Xie Wan waved his hand for Yufang to withdraw, and then pointed to a bowl of tea that had already been brewed on the table. "Steward Luo, sit down and have a cup of tea."
Luo Sheng was stunned, and his waist bowed down by two points, but he didn't mean to sit down at all.
Xie Wan nodded with satisfaction, she wanted such a person who kept her duty. However, she was sincerely inviting him to tea at the moment, so she said in a harmonious voice: "Steward Luo is not polite, there will be many times when you have to obey the rules in front of me in the future, not as bad as today." ”
Luo Sheng's body shook when he heard this, and he raised his head.
Xie Wan raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you want to take care of things?" ”
Luo Sheng didn't know what she meant by the word "unwilling", the scope was too wide, was she unwilling to follow the rules, or unwilling to sit down obediently, or unwilling to stay and accept this "future"?
He stared at the small figure on the kang, except that she was extra beautiful, she seemed to be no different from other eight-year-old girls, the corners of her lips were playfully raised, and her eyebrows were slightly raised, but other than that, her eyes were sometimes as active as a stream, sometimes as quiet as an ancient well, and now when he saw her, he would always unconsciously think of elves.
"Steward Luo, stay and help me."
When he was in a fugue, she spoke again on the kang, in a low and sincere tone. "You are the most trusted helper by my father's side, and now that the second room has suddenly changed, this Xie Mansion should have been my home, but now, we live in this mansion like a tiger's mouth, we need to rely on it to become stronger, so we have to bear these risks in the future. Steward Luo, stay and continue to help us take care of our property. ”
In fact, Xie Wan was not completely sure that Luo Sheng would not harbor dissenting intentions, after all, her perception of this person came from the oral tradition of others, and she had not had deeper contact with him, and it was a risky move to reuse him now. But beyond that, could she find someone more suitable than him?
The best way can only be to watch while using, and look for someone more suitable to open up territory for her.
Therefore, her sincerity is not faked, but truly from the bottom of her heart.
Luo Sheng saw it, he may still not understand why the third girl is so sophisticated, but he really saw the sincerity in her eyes, even if he still had doubts about her, but in the face of such sincerity, that doubt became less important.
He hadn't been close to her, how did he know that the third girl wasn't born so smart and powerful? How did he know that the Qi family hadn't been teaching her how to run a family since she was sensible? He hasn't been out of any far, not even Hejian Mansion, how do you know that there is no such naturally capable person in the world?
What's more, doesn't she love snacks and coquettish like ordinary little girls most of the time?
Luo Sheng was relieved. The little girl in front of her has both scheming and guts, and now that he is old, he doesn't want to run around for a living anymore, so if he can stay in his hometown, he should stay! In case their ability is limited, he will take care of them a little more, so as to keep those shops for the late Xie Teng and his wife, so that he can be regarded as a servant.
After thinking about it like this, he breathed a long sigh of relief, picked up his fists and slammed them to the end: "The little one originally meant to serve the girl." ”
"Boss Luo!"
Xie Wan jumped off the kang happily, "Thank you!" ”
Luo Sheng looked at her childishly and smiled slightly, and lowered his chin.
Pang Fu led the people to clean up the Yifeng Courtyard in three days, judging from the clean tables and chairs and the peonies still stained with dew in the flowers on the table, Pang Fu was attentive.
At the end of the day, Xie Lang moved in with Xie Wan.
The whole Yifeng Courtyard is located in the east of the house, there is a small hugging building on the left, and there are four small side courtyards behind. The back door of the small hugging house connects to the verandah that leads to the back garden. The patio between the backyard and the hugging building was changed into a small garden in Xie Teng's hands, planted with plantains, bamboo, hostas and other things, and because these flowers and trees like water, a small pool was built with Taihu Lake stone, leading a meandering stream through the entire patio.
The greenery of the garden reflects the white walls and gray tiles, as well as the lacquered balustrades and columns, which are very elegant.
Xie Wan had entered the Yifeng Courtyard with his father once in his previous life, and he was quite impressed by this place. As soon as I entered, I rushed in and took a look.
"Wanwan, don't you like to look at the stars? We can tidy up the hugging house into an open house, remove all the tables and chairs, and put a few large brocade cushions, so that you can see the stars when you lie on the ground. In spring and summer, you can open the window and enjoy the flowers and trees in the patio! ”
Xie Lang happily suggested.
Xie Wan thought the same thing, but not to see the stars. She has more tasks to manage the accounts, so it is rare to meet the people below to reconcile accounts and explain things on weekdays, and it is always not good to meet guests in the backyard boudoir. If you go to the front yard, it is too attention-grabbing, but this hugging building is excellent, close to the backyard, out is the atrium of the house, easy to enter, spacious and open, no fat powder, but also make people feel open.
Of course, he couldn't tell Xie Langming about this, he only smiled and nodded, and when he adopted the suggestion of looking at the stars, he called Wu Xing and Yinzuo, and tossed Baoxia again.
It's been three days since everything was cleaned up.
After breakfast in the morning, Xie Lang went to school, and on Tuesday, the family brought a few maids over.
"The Yifeng Courtyard is a big place, not as big as the Danxiang Courtyard, it is obviously not enough to rely on the few people around the girl, the wife instructed the slave maid to send six girls and four mothers-in-law to the second young master and the third girl according to the practice of the young masters and ladies in the house." After speaking, he immediately added: "It was the master who agreed." It seemed that Xie Wan would kick them out without saying anything.
Xie Wan didn't plan to drive people out.
If she drives everyone away, who will sweep the yard and wash her clothes? She smiled, "Since it was sent by my wife, then I will bother Mama Zhou to thank you on my behalf." ”
Tuesday's family didn't expect her to leave people behind so quickly, but they were stunned. But when she thought that she was only an eight-year-old child, and her wife specially explained that she would only come here at this time, she naturally expected that Xie Lang was not there, and she didn't have the courage to refute it.
So he glanced at the people he had brought, and then left with a smile.
Xie Lang now lives in the main house in the front yard of Yifeng Courtyard, and Luo Sheng and Wu Xingyin live in a row of ear rooms in the west of the front yard. The east side is used as a place for Xie Lang's banquet and reading meeting.
Xie Wan lives in the backyard, and Wu's mother and Yuxue live in the west wing.
Xie Wan looked at the ten people, asked for their names, and then assigned two mothers-in-law to be responsible for the daily sprinkling and cleaning of the Yifeng Courtyard, one was responsible for the front door and the other was responsible for the back door. He is responsible for guarding the front and back doors, and also takes care of the flowers and trees.
Then four maids were selected and named according to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and assigned to the front yard to be responsible for the affairs of the room. The remaining two were renamed Nanping Beixiang, put them in the backyard as rough envoys, and explained them to Wu's mother.
The two maids who changed their names to ** Ying and Dong Rui looked up at her, pursed their lips for a long time, and the rest of the people should claim to have retreated.
Yuxue sighed: "In the end, I am still unwilling. "That's Wang.
Xie Wan didn't think about it, and said: "Explain to Wu Xing and Yinzuo, don't let these people interfere in my brother's close affairs, and don't let them get along with my brother alone when no one is there." Don't let them into my bedroom in the backyard. Then he said, "Let Steward Luo and Mother Wu bother and watch it." ”
Mother Wu was on the side, busy saying, "This is nature. ”
It is impossible for the Wang family not to install people in the Yifeng Courtyard, Xie Wan will still come even if he blocks it, since this is the case, then she simply sells it and stays, instead of wasting time fighting these careful eyes, it is better to do something more meaningful. As for whether they have the opportunity to turn the Yifeng Temple upside down, it depends on whether they have the ability.
After all, Wang is just a country woman, short-sighted, and has never read, even if she calms down, she can only do so many tricks. In the years when Xie Wan was a female teacher in his previous life, he saw what is called a real inner house battle, those people are clean on their faces, and they don't see blood when they kill people in private.
If it weren't for the fact that she had lost the time and place when she learned this, why would the people of the Naxie family in her previous life have no choice?
The days are starting to get back on track.
Although Xie Fu is considered a high-ranking family in Qinghe County, he does not have the rules of the real powerful hairpin houses in Jingshi, and he does not have to go to the upper room every day to settle the province in the morning and dusk, so he has a lot of time, and Xie Wan began to pick up the accounts of the second room.
The Yang family left behind a 300-acre grange located in Nanyazhuang, with an average income of 600 taels of silver per year in the past ten years. There are also three shops, one in Qingyuan Prefecture and two in Qinghe County. Because Xie Teng is not good at business, he has rented out now, and the one in the state has a hundred taels of silver a year, and the two in the county town add up to one hundred and fifty taels of silver.
The Qi family also has a small grange of 50 acres of land, which is only ten miles away from the grange in Nanyazhuang, and is now used to grow vegetables, and the annual harvest is about 200 taels of silver. There is another shop in Qinghe County, doing silk trading, and Luo is promoted to the chief shopkeeper, and now he has hired people to run it, and his income in the early three years was about three hundred taels.
In this way, the annual income of the second room is about 13,400 taels, minus Xie Lang's annual pen and ink repairs, the family's clothes and food, personal contacts, and the monthly money of the hired workers, there are at least seven or eight hundred taels of silver left every year.
Eight hundred taels of silver doesn't look like much, but this is the surplus when I lived in Huangshi Town in the past, and now I live in Xie Mansion, and the monthly expenses of the people are all taken care of by the house, and the food and clothing of their brothers and sisters and all the expenses are paid by the public.
