Approaching the end of the year, Rongguo Mansion became more and more busy.

Jia Lian also devoted most of his energy to preparing for the provincial concubine.

"Cousin, cousin, come out and see what I have brought you?"

On this day, Jia Lian was calculating what was lacking everywhere in the garden, when he saw Xue Pan running in and pulling him out.

Xue Pan is indeed a little strange these days, according to Baochai, her brother has changed his previous habits. I never ran out to fool around again, and even took a few old people in the family seriously, and I didn't know what to do when I went out early and returned late every day.

A few days ago, I went out under the banner of going out to inspect the store.

It is said that Aunt Xue is actually very worried that Xue Pan will go out by herself. But her son seems to be able to do a serious job, and Aunt Xue can't hold back.

"Brother Pan, where did you come from?" Although Jia Lian didn't believe that dogs could change their eating of, he was still happy to see Xue Pan's changes.

So I'm very happy to see Xue Pan running in, if Xue Pan really grows up. Then it's time to return the letter of the head of the Xue family to him.

"Cousin, I have prepared something good for you, can you come out and take a look. By the way, if the ancestor and several sisters-in-law and sisters are okay, they can also be allowed to come out together. ”

"Oh", the corner of Jia Lian's mouth suddenly showed a playful smile: "Okay, I'll go in person, and I'll definitely invite someone out for you." ”

The people in the Jia family gathered in the Rongqing Hall at this time.

The provincial relatives are approaching, and the Jia family has not been able to live for many years, and they are concentrating on preparing for the provincial relatives.

Even Jia's mother, who has been out of charge for a long time, came forward in person to help Wang Xifeng deal with family affairs.

It's really that Wang Xifeng is too young, I'm afraid that she is young and doesn't know anything, and the two wives of the previous generation of the Jia family are now unusable. can only be Jia's mother.

Simply, Jia's mother is not bad. The trivial matters were handled by Wang Xifeng and Li Kun, she just stared at the general direction, and seemed to be quite busy.

Just now, several people have just agreed. In the Buddhist nunnery in the garden, in addition to the dozen or so little nuns bought from the Jiangnan area outside, a person called Miaoyu was invited from a nunnery in Shenjing to come back and preside over it.

"I heard that she is also from an official family, I'm afraid it's not casual." Lin Daiyu frowned and said.

Since Jia Lian fell ill last time, Lin Daiyu has let go a lot, and often comes to Jiafu when she is fine.

The six rituals on the left and right have not been carried out, the date has not been decided, and there is no need for her to avoid taboos with Jia Lian. In addition, the Jia family has a lot of things to do at the end of this year, so she often comes and goes in the name of helping.

So this time when she heard about the situation of this female monk who was from her hometown, Lin Daiyu suddenly said so.

Wang Xifeng was stunned, but he didn't think much about it. The left and right are just a nun with hair and practice: "Since Sister Lin said this, I will ask her for the next post in my name." ”

"That's how it should be." All the golden hairpins nodded in agreement.

"There is also a problem......" Jia Lian's women are now working together in the division of labor, cooperating with the Jia family, and they all have their own tasks.

The problem of arranging people is Jia Tanchun's, and Jia Lian personally appointed her as the chief steward of the garden in the future.

Because of this, Sanchun and other women are very dedicated to the things in the garden. Even Yingchun, which is destined to live for a short time, is enthusiastic to participate.

Baoyu was crooked in a corner of Rongqing Hall, and saw that the sisters were busy discussing something. Even the youngest Xiao Xichun was crackling, and Baoyu felt uncomfortable in her heart.

He feels that he is now an outsider in the Jia family. The sisters all had things to do, and no one cared about him. He couldn't do anything he could ask him to help with, so he could only watch from the sidelines, and couldn't even interject a word.

At the end of the year, Shi Xiangyun also returned to Shi's house. The rest of the Jia family was assigned tasks by Jia Lian, and no one cared about him anymore. Even Jia's mother was busy and didn't notice the loneliness of her precious grandson.

Baoyu couldn't help but feel a little depressed, feeling that it was obviously a mistake for him to run back happily during the holiday of the clan school. It's better to be with Xiao Zhong'er in school.

"By the way, let's take a look at Xiao Zhong'er." Baoyu took advantage of the fact that no one paid attention to him and secretly went out.

"Second Master Lian is here!" Not long after Baoyu went out, Jia Lian came over.

"Great, second brother, come here, we're worried!" Tanchun saw Jia Lian coming, and pulled Jia Lian over.

Jia Lian sat on the chair, regardless of whether Xue Pan was waiting outside. How can I look at Xue's head and see a room of beautiful golden hairpins of warblers and swallows.

"What bothered the third sister so much?" Jia Lian looked at Tanchun's anxious white face, but felt a little funny.

Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes sharply on the side: "What's the matter, it's not your hands-off shopkeeper." It's such a big deal, you just throw it at us and don't care about it, we're going to be tired to death these days. ”

"That's it." All the women next to him nodded violently.

Mother Jia also asked with some worry: "Lian'er, such a big matter, you can hand it over to Feng Yatou and a few of them, but it's not cheap."

Feng girl and treasure girl are just that. After all, they are all old things. I heard that you even arranged errands for the second, third, and fourth girls, can they handle it, but don't delay the big event of saving relatives? ”

Jia Lian smiled: "Ancestor, don't worry, it's all arranged." The younger sisters are not mortals, and they do things very beautifully.

Besides, they are all the noble daughters of my Jia family, and they will be housekeepers in the future. How can you do it without exercising in advance? ”

Jia Mu was silent for a moment, and she didn't know whether she should agree with Jia Lian's words. An important reason why she didn't teach Sanchun housekeepers is that Sanchun is a concubine. Even if they get married, they are just allowed to be married to the family of a small bureaucrat Xiao Xungui or the concubine of any family.

Jia's mother, who had already taught an imperial concubine, didn't have the heart to worry about other concubines.

But now Jia Lian is taking the Jia family to become more and more prosperous. He also regarded Sanchun as a very precious, so even if it was a concubine, there were also top-level noble sons-in-law who asked for marriage.

So it's good to exercise and exercise.

After appeasing Jia's mother, Jia Lian asked Tanchun again: "Third sister, what's wrong?" ”

Tanchun was stunned, he was moved by Jia Lian's consideration for himself and others, and almost forgot about business.

"That's right, second brother, there aren't enough people in the garden.

I calculated that the maids, servants, and grandmothers in the garden would need nearly two hundred people together. But in our house, there are more than 300 people in total.

Outside the garden, in the two halls, people have to be employed. After speaking, he glanced at Jia Lian with some disgust.

Jia Lian frowned slightly, it turned out that this was the case. Speaking of which, this is really its own pot.
