After sending away Xue Pan's mother and son, Zhang An led Xue Baochai to the back house.

"Bao girl, go back and find a yard for the old lady, open a study for the idle little maids in the house, and teach them to read and write or something."

"I don't need them to have a high level of literary attainment, I just need to be able to read, be able to settle accounts, write letters and other skills."

"Just set aside half an hour a day to teach, and you don't have to learn all together, you can divide it into several time periods, and you can divide the number of times, and you can do it yourself."

Obviously no more than two years older than others, he actually calls someone else's girl, pretending to be an adult!

Don't say it's called Miss Bao, it's okay if you call Sister Bao, girl, it's not kind when you hear it, it's really hateful.

Xue Baochai suddenly remembered that Zhang An's father was an old showman, and he had also opened a study before.

Come to think of it, letting the maids in the house read and write is also a part of his sustenance, and by the way, he also gives his family a little heritage.

This is not as good as Rongguo Mansion, over there, hey, I don't want to, I'm upset.

"The slave family knows, master, please rest assured, the slave family will definitely do its best."

[Heroine: Xue Baochai, 30% completion]

Zhang An glanced at Xue Baochai, who was a little uneasy, and didn't say much.

At this time, Xue Baochai has just arrived, and the first priority is to be cautious in words and deeds, and Zhang An understands it very well.

If it were him, he might be even more nervous.

"Yo, the little couple is coming back?"

"What about the Xue family's sister, why didn't you come?"

Zhang Ni's joke made the maids laugh in a low voice, and Xue Baochai was also full of shyness.

As if he hadn't heard it, Zhang An said, "Mother, Mrs. Xue is moving today, she has to go back to clean up, ask me to confess to you, and I won't come to say goodbye to you." ”

"As for the Xue family's brother, I arranged for him to go to the Internal Affairs Office to be busy with the affairs of the Xue family's business, and he left."

"By the way, I also told Bao Yatou just now, since tomorrow, our family will find a place near your yard to open a study for the little maids in the house, at least you must be able to recognize a word and not open your eyes blind, what do you see?"

As soon as Zhang Ni heard that his son was going to run a study, he didn't care about Aunt Xue's departure and the question of whether it was useful for the maid to read and write, and immediately applauded loudly.

"Good! That's a great idea! ”

"Back then, your father opened a study, and my mother sometimes heard the sound of those dolls reading in her dreams."

"Well, San'er, you've thought too much, these girls are still young, and they don't need to do any work, it's good to learn more knowledge and grow their abilities."

"Bao girl, this matter will trouble you, if you need to tell the old body directly, we will do it in our house."

Xue Baochai said respectfully: "Old lady, you are polite, what the master ordered, the slave family must do their best." ”

While he was talking and laughing, Ping'er walked in with a ledger.

"Old lady, lord, the slave and maid are here to disturb again."

"Hey, Ping'er, you're always so polite."

Zhang Nishi admired Ping'er's style of doing things very much, and said with a smile on his face: "How many times has the old body told you, since the affairs in the house, since my son has handed them over to you, then you can rest assured and boldly do it, you don't need to mention it to the old body, you just don't listen." ”

When Xue Baochai heard this, he was also a little wary of Ping'er, who was familiar with him in the past.

This is also a big rival!

Don't offend, but be careful.

Ping'er smiled slightly, but didn't refute.

"Old lady, master, this is about to enter winter, and we also need to reserve more materials for winter in our house to prevent inconvenience in winter."

"For example, winter clothes, ingredients, as well as warmth and charcoal and firewood needed for the kitchen, etc., the slave maid asked people to make a list, and invited the old lady and the old man to look at it."

Zhang An had nothing to do, took the account book in Ping'er's hand and looked at it.

"Ping'er, cotton clothes and quilts and the like, everyone in the house has them, and they have to have a set of spare.

It's cold in winter, so you don't have to save on this, and you have to prepare some medicinal herbs. ”

"Rice, flour, oil, grain and condiments, anyway, as long as they can be stored for a long time, buy more, at least enough for half a year to a year in the whole house."

"In addition, when the house spends the winter, the warmth is all silver frost charcoal? Is that the charcoal burned from that particular kind of wood? Why doesn't the number seem like much? ”

Ping'er replied: "If you go back to the old man, the price of silver frost charcoal is too expensive, so only you and the old lady will use it here, and the rest of the places are ordinary charcoal." ”

"However, although Silver Frost Charcoal is expensive, it is relatively safe to use, and there is not much charcoal ash and charcoal poison, so it is the first choice for the families of the eunuchs."

Charcoal heating?

Zhang An always felt that it was not safe, the doors and windows were closed tightly in winter, and if carbon monoxide poisoning killed people, it would be bad.

Zhang An blinked his eyes and asked Xue Baochai: "Bao girl, do you know that in addition to burning charcoal, is there any other more convenient and safe way to keep warm?" ”

Xue Baochai thought about it for a while and said, "As far as the slave family knows, there should be other ways. ”

"But if it is suitable for our house, in addition to burning charcoal for heating, you can also use a kettle, or burn a kang."

Zhang An carefully asked what the kettle was, and the result, well, the ancients were not stupid, and the principle of the bottle of hot water we used in the eighties and nineties was just replaced by a copper kettle.

Some are packed with water and some are packed with coal, which are all measures to keep warm.

Burn the kang, everyone understands this thing.

"Then do you think it's better to burn a kang or charcoal to keep warm?"

Xue Baochai was silent, this kind of thing is better to say less.

Ping'er hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, if we burn the kang, I'm afraid we will have to make a big move in our house." ”

"In addition, the slave remembers that it seems that there are earth dragons available in our house, and I don't know if it is okay now."

Earthworm?

Similar to the principle of kang, the temperature is transmitted through the scorching smoke.

It seems that these methods are feasible, but in practice, they are very troublesome.

After all, the General's Mansion is too big, and there are too many rooms, not to mention that every room has a kang or a dragon, but at least there can be no less rooms for people.

He can't enjoy it himself, and it's not for the people below to be frozen.

If only there was a more convenient way.

Zhang An thought for a while and said: "That's it, my mother is here, send someone to check whether the earth dragon is good, in addition, the silver frost charcoal is also prepared, and you can take care of the rest." ”

"As for the others, you go back and ask, if there is anyone who wants to make a kang, then arrange someone to do it."

"Safety first, burning charcoal for heating is always a bit dangerous, and money is a trivial matter."

"By the way, you go back to Ni Er, and ask him to find a few carpenters, I want to decorate my room."

"If the effect is good, mother, let's see if you want to decorate it here."

Zhang An suddenly remembered that there was no so-called ceiling at this time, if his own room was decorated, and then equipped with air conditioning or something, wouldn't it be better to survive the winter.

Zhang Ni didn't care about Zhang An's desire to decorate the room at all.

After all, there is no shortage of money in the house now, and it is not a big deal for my son to renovate his living environment.

"It's up to you, just do it if you think it's good."

"San'er, my mother wants to use the small kitchen in this yard."

"Lest I wait for the winter, and let the maids and women go all the way to fetch hot water and deliver food, which is inconvenient, and the temperature drops quickly, which is a little troublesome."

Zhang An smiled: "Mother, look at what you said, this is your yard, you can do what you want, why don't you need to discuss it with your son." ”

"That's right, so be it, well, the kitchen will be separated."

"The original kitchen function remains the same, but the No. 1 and No. 2 courtyards are here, no, just the No. 2 courtyard, get a small kitchen."

"Then I will transfer a few skilled mothers-in-law from the kitchen to take care of it, and I will also take the food from here."

"At that time, you don't have to worry about the food cooling quickly and the hot water supply can't be supplied..."

Wait, hot water supply?

Hey, it looks like that's okay.

Zhang An stood up abruptly and instructed Ping'er: "Ping'er, just do what I just said." ”

"Mother, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, and I'll come over to accompany you when I'm at lunch."

Zhang Nishi waved his hand and said: "If you have something to do, you can go to your business, there are treasure girls and they accompany me, don't worry." ”

Zhang An smiled, and said to Qingwen: "Qingwen, go to my side, take the mahjong we played last night, and teach the old lady to play cards." ”

"Mother, there is a kind of mahjong that can be used to pass the time and let these little maids play with you."

After a few more words of laughter, Zhang An said goodbye and left, heading to No. 5 Hospital.

At this time, Ni Er was already waiting outside with a few people dressed as servants.

"Third master, the carpenter you asked to find is available in our house, I don't know how you want to decorate the room?"

Zhang An waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry to decorate in advance, you go and make me a few big boxes first." ”

After giving the dimensions of a few boxes, Zhang An asked the carpenters to hurry up.

Ni Er is a little confused, what's the use of making a few weird-sized boxes for no reason?

PS: You are all mature book friends, you shouldn't need me to remind you to vote after reading the book, right? Hey.

Thank you for your support.,It's still useful to ask for a follow-up.,Although it's only more than 70 follow-ups.,But I'm so satisfied.。 If only there could be more, that would be great.
