Chapter 11 Little Qiao Meng, I have seen my master

After the carriage with a very low-key appearance left the capital, it walked along the road for almost half an hour, and the group finally saw the grange.

The housekeeper who was specially arranged to help Su Hengyu take care of the Grange didn't wait for anyone to ask, so he took the initiative to introduce the Grange to Su Hengyu:

"Miss, this is the grange that Madame gave you. There are 30 tenants in this grange, and 356 acres of cultivated land, which is already a good first-class grange among these large and small farms in the suburbs of Beijing. ”

"This Zhuangzi was specially given to our Hou Mansion by Emperor Taizu at the beginning. It's just that when Mrs. took over at that time, Zhuangzi was already in a recession, and Mrs. had a lot of shops under her hands, and there was no one to help, so she didn't take care of Zhuangzi's affairs much. ”

"The masters of the house don't like to come here to play in recent years, so the houses that were built in the early years are now uninhabitable. It was only when the lady mentioned it that she hurriedly rebuilt a few rooms for the eldest lady to live in temporarily. Later, if you want to build it, just tell the people below. ”

On the surface, the meaning of this is that the Wang family is worried that Su Hengyu will not like the house he ordered to be repaired. But in fact, it is saying that the Wang family has helped her repair several houses that she can live in, and the rest will depend on herself.

Su Hengyu subconsciously glanced at the housekeeper, and the other party noticed her gaze, and immediately lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to meet her eyes.

"Got it, you can keep talking." Su Hengyu had already guessed who specifically told the housekeeper to come over and give her eye medicine, but she didn't bother to bother with the other party.

The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then told Su Hengyu everything he knew about the grange.

This Zhuangzi is indeed very good, and the place is also very large, if it is managed well, the annual income will not be less.

Although everything is in ruins now, and it takes a lot of money to revitalize this place, fortunately, the Wang family stuffed a large number of silver tickets into Su Hengyu's luggage.

Although she has decided to give up this daughter, this is her biological flesh and blood in the end. Therefore, the Wang family assigned the entire grange to Su Hengyu's name, and asked her to leave with a lot of money.

If this money is saved, plus the output in Zhuangzi, it will be enough for Su Hengyu to live a stable life.

Of course, it is certainly impossible to get rich.

In the housekeeper's explanation, the group finally came to the entrance of the grange. Originally, there was a plaque here, but because the owner of Zhuangzi was a noble of the previous dynasty, it was taken down and burned when the previous dynasty destroyed the country.

Su Hengyu got out of the carriage with the support of Ziyun, and as soon as he looked up, he faced the empty lintel.

Seeing Su Hengyu's curious gaze stop in front of the door, a rather lively voice interjected: "If the master thinks it's interesting, why don't you give our grange a name, and let's hang up the new plaque again." ”

Su Hengyu was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at the person who spoke.

It was a middle-aged man dressed in simple clothes, although he was not as expensive as the housekeeper, but he was much neater than ordinary people.

As soon as Su Hengyu looked over, the man stood with his head bowed in an orderly manner, and there was no trace of disrespect in his demeanor.

The housekeeper knew that Su Hengyu didn't know much about the things in Zhuangzi, so he took the initiative to stand up and introduce at this moment: "Miss, this is Qiao Meng, our steward in Zhuangzi." Qiao Meng, don't come and meet the eldest lady yet. ”

The middle-aged man named Qiao Meng raised a smiling face, walked in front of Su Hengyu in two or three steps, bowed his waist and said, "Little Qiao Meng, I have seen the master." ”

As soon as this title came out, both Su Hengyu and the housekeeper subconsciously looked at him a few more times.

The housekeeper was shocked by the speed at which Qiao Meng changed his words, while Su Hengyu thought that this steward was quite interesting.

"Since Steward Qiao is responsible for taking care of Zhuangzi, he should know a lot about things in Zhuangzi, right? Why don't you explain it to me again? Su Hengyu took the initiative to propose.

Although the housekeeper had already told Su Hengyu about the general situation here, he didn't know as much about the specific situation as this Qiao Meng.

When Qiao Meng heard this, he spoke very respectfully, from the distribution of personnel in Zhuangzi, to the grain crops planted in the manor and the various inputs of Zhuangzi over the years, he told Su Hengyu clearly.

Later, Su Hengyu would also ask one or two questions from time to time, and Qiao Meng didn't know how to answer.

This kind of performance made Su Hengyu very satisfied, she was still worried that if the people on Zhuangzi were not easy to manage, how to find a group of new people to take over.

Now seeing that Qiao Meng is so cooperative, and he has a lot of treasures about the things in Zhuangzi, Su Hengyu put a little worry at ease for the time being.

They are walking around several houses in Zhuangzi at the moment, because there are not many people living in them all year round, and no one pays for maintenance. So even though the people here have worked hard to maintain the mansions, there are still a lot of problems with the houses now.

Qiao Meng and the others lived in a wooden house built by their own family not far from the house.

These houses do not have the permission of the master's family, and servants like them dare not live in them at will.

Under Qiao Meng's guidance, Su Hengyu briefly took a look at the situation of the house, and finally was taken to the houses that had just been renovated not long ago.

"Miss, I'm going to wronged you to live here for the time being. If you have anything else to desire, such as renovating the house, you can discuss it directly with Qiao Meng. If there are not enough people in Zhuangzi, if you want to buy some new people, you can also tell Qiao Meng directly. ”

"In the future, this Zhuangzi will be yours, you can dispose of it at will, I have been delayed outside for a long time today, and there are still many things waiting for me to go back to deal with in the house, so I won't bother the eldest lady here."

The butler spoke extremely beautifully, but everyone present understood. The housekeeper's departure means that Su Hengyu and the Hou Mansion are completely separated.

Long before Su Hengyu came, everyone who had already inquired about the affairs of the Hou Mansion and the daughters subconsciously looked at their new master.

The person, who looked like an orchid, did not show any dissatisfaction or sadness, but said calmly: "Thank you for accompanying the housekeeper today, since you still have something to do there, I won't delay your time, please go back." ”

The housekeeper saluted her: "Miss, take care of yourself in the future." ”

Su Hengyu nodded, signaling that he knew.

Then he turned around and left with the rest of the people except Ziyun, the sound of jingling bells sounded again, and the carriage of the Hou Mansion quickly drove out of the manor.

Su Hengyu didn't look at the carriage in the distance, her eyes fell on the rolling fields in the distance.

From now on, this is her territory.

To create a career that belongs to her, start with this manor!
