Chapter 484: Household Affairs(1/2)
After Jia Xichun's ideological communication, Xue Baochai was the only one left.
Jia Huan thought for a while and said, "Don't hurry up on Sister Bao's business.
After I discuss with the butler in front and the brothers from several other mansions, I will discuss the specific situation again.
Sister Lin and Yun'er are the same.
At that time, I will prepare a special office for you in Ning'an Hall and lower the bead curtain.
If there are shopkeepers who are doing business back and forth, they will let them report outside the pearl curtain.
If you do it well, you will be rewarded. If you don’t do it well, you will be ordered to drag it out and hit the board!"
"Yeah! Yes! Spanking, taking off your pants and spanking!"
Xiao Jixiang nodded in agreement and agreed.
But Lin Shi and Xue Baochai blushed and spat out loud.
Lin Daiyu pointed at Xiao Jixiang and said, "Little Diuzi, please be careful, and you dare not learn from your master..."
"Care our skin?"
Xiao Jixiang said with his eyes wide open.
"puff!"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone burst into laughter, Lin Daiyu was "annoyed and embarrassed" and stepped forward to tear Xiao Jixiang's mouth.
Xiao Jixiang smiled and hid in Jia Huan's arms, hiding from Lin Daiyu's "devil's claws".
Jia Huan also protected her. Although she couldn't see it, her hands protected Xiao Jixiang's little head and blocked Lin Daiyu's hand with a smile.
Finally, I simply held the slender jade hands...
Of course, Lin Daiyu was just pretending. Seeing Xiao Jixiang hiding in Jia Huan's arms and having a small face full of intentions, she couldn't help but laugh.
He broke away from Jia Huan's hand and turned around and said to everyone: "Look, the expression on this little hoof's face was not carved from the same mold as someone?
The thief's appearance makes people grit their teeth and hate them!"
When everyone heard this, they looked at Xiao Jixiang's face, especially under the eyebrows of the caterpillar, with big eyes full of flattering smiles, clear but not lacking in cunning. Isn't it just someone's copy?
For a moment, everyone burst into laughter.
After laughing, I couldn't help but sigh.
Such a refreshing laughter seems to have not been there for a long time.
It would be even better if Jia Huan's eyes were getting better soon!
...
"Wanji, how is the progress of the garden behind?"
In Ning'an Hall, Jia Huan sat upright in the seat and asked.
The matters about the Houyao were sorted out, which was pretty good, and the family did not immerse themselves in grief.
Although he lied, Jia Huan thought it was still worth it...
After sorting out the matter of the house, Jia Huan returned to Ning'an Hall and ordered someone to call Li Wanji and several other managers.
After hearing Jia Huan's words, Li Wanji quickly bowed and replied, "Third Master, everything is progressing according to the plan.
Since the Third Master left, the Duke of Zhenguo, the Duke of Fenwu, the Duke of Dingjun Bo Mansion, and several other Duke of Duke of Dingjun Bo Mansions have sent their families to help us move huge rocks and lay sewers.
I was worried that this was inappropriate, so I went to ask Mr. Niu from the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion.
But Mr. Niu said that His Majesty is also waiting for the Jia family to visit relatives. This is a big deal. Just let me just do my duty well, and I don’t have to pay attention to the rest.”
Upon hearing this, Jia Huan was silent, nodded and said, "Uncle Niu is right, so the sewer has been laid?"
Li Wanji said: "Ten days after the Third Master left, it was almost done. The others were much easier to deal with. The old Mr. Yamakono was indeed a master. He mobilized everyone and made rapid progress.
However, because it is the end of the year, there is no reason why people are not in the New Year. The craftsmen and workers have gone home for the New Year.
However, if the third master is not ready to stop work, he can call them all back.
Most of the craftsmen are their own people in our village. Even if they are almost there, the servants in the mansion will be over..."
Jia Huan smiled indifferently when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "If the progress is normal, there is no need to rush to work. As long as it can be completed before summer, there is no need to rush to work.
After a year of busy life, we will always have a good New Year in the end.
When paying for wages, remember to add a little more, thank them…”
Li Wanji was moved when he heard this and said, "Third Master, you are so good to treat us people. It's just a pity that God has no eyes and actually lets you..."
As he said that, he was choked up and couldn't speak.
Upon hearing this, Jia Huan scratched his head and said depressedly: "Third Master, I am nothing. It's obvious that my eyes are injured, why do you have to comfort you in the opposite direction?
The back house was almost dry and he was relieved.
Wanji, you are a big man, can you let me persuade me?”
When Li Wanji heard this, he cried and laughed, and wiped his tears and said, "It's all my fault, I'm disturbing the Third Master..."
Jia Huan waved his hand and said, "I won't talk about these... Fu Nai, Nalan, the industries in the ranch and Chengnanzhuang are all good? Are your tribesmen all okay?
During this expedition, Timur, Borch and his son, and twenty other personal soldiers all made some contributions.
These contributions can only be remembered on my head, and I, as a marquis, have also made their contributions.
After you go back, you will thank their families for me and pay more for the period of time, each family will pay 50 taels more.”
"Plop!"
After Jia Huan asked, Fu Nai and Nalan Senruo, who were originally blank, knelt down together, and then they knocked heavily on the ground, lying there without getting up.
Just looking at the trembling backs of the two, you can guess that both of them should be quite uneasy at this moment...
"Tsk...what happened?"
Jia Huan said with a headache: "I told you that my eyes don't do anything about Timur and the others. The situation was urgent at that time, so I could only go out alone and take them with me, and they would have to die in vain..."
"They should have died in battle and could not protect the head of the family. How could they still have the face to survive!"
Fu Nai looked up, his face full of tears, and said excitedly.
Jia Huan frowned: "Lao Fu, what's wrong with you?
Why can you die alive?
This time I didn’t bring them with me, can I blame them?
If there is a next time, I will definitely bring them with me, and I believe that they will definitely fight to protect me.
You and Nalan are both very smart people. How can you get into a stubborn sensation with me now?"
"But they..."
Fu Nai was still ashamed and wanted to say a few more words, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Jia Huan. He said impatiently: "If they really escaped at the last minute, you don't need to say that, I would have killed them long ago.
But do you think they are such people?
Since it is not, why don’t you two be here?
A problem!
Get out of here and answer well. After answering, I will go to the west to have dinner with the old lady.
By the way, I brought back a lot of gold, silver jewelry and leather from the west, and I will probably arrive tomorrow. You can take it back and wear it for your wives and children. It is my New Year gift for them."
"Third Master!"
Fu Nai and Nalan Senruo burst into tears and shouted in emotion.
It’s not that they pretended to be pretentious. If this kind of thing happened to other wealthy families, who cares if Jia Huan didn’t take them and sneaked out by himself?
It is their serious crime to not be able to see Jia Huan!
As a personal soldier, he is superior to food, clothing, housing and transportation, but at critical moments he becomes a waste decoration.
According to military law, none of these people should live, and even their relatives and family members will suffer.
But Jia Huan is so generous...
How could this not make them inexplicably moved? I really wish I could only bear the crime of blindness on behalf of Jia Huan.
Although Jia Huan didn't care, he was actually a little moved when he saw the two of them being so loyal.
But he didn't have much time to get tired of it. He said, "Okay, okay, why bother to ask me to get up?
You remember that in my heart, whether it is Wanji, you two, or Timur, they are actually the same as their family.
Since I am a family member, I don’t think I always look like this and it’s too polite.
I believe that if I treat you as my family, you will repay me with your family.
Just a brief answer, why are you doing so sensational?"
