The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 190 Does He Still Remember Me?

"The two girls came here first for the young lady in the mansion. You are all old men in the mansion. You are used to the market, so I shouldn't say too much."

Zhou Rui and several nuns in Jia's mansion laughed.

"If you have any orders, just say so, are you afraid that we won't listen to you?"

Zhou Rui became serious after hearing this.

"You are all people who have seen various high-ranking families, and you are famous in the mansion. Even the young masters and young ladies have to be taken care of by you, so as to give you dignity.

Why did the old lady send you here? I heard that the Qin family is powerful. Let you take a look. Now that you have seen it, isn't it powerful? "

All the ladies nodded.

"Forgive me, this Qin family is stronger than Lian's second sister-in-law at home. She is gentle with everyone, but she can control others well. This method is not ordinary."

"Xiangling and Ying'er are the most outstanding maids in the mansion. They don't mention their means, but their appearance. Compared with the Qin family, they can't be ranked above."

"Marry a wife and a virtuous person, take concubines and beauties. This Qin family is both virtuous and beautiful, and it may be difficult for Yinger and Xiangling."

Ladies and gentlemen, tell me what you say.

"In other words, Qin Shi is pregnant, but it gives Yinger and Xiangling a chance, if they can please the men in the room.

Relying on the means in the room, there is still a glimmer of hope. "

Even though Zhou Rui was a man, he felt a little embarrassed when he heard these nuns speak out of proportion.

So interrupted.

"This requires a few nuns to mention Ying'er and Xiangling. It depends on whether you can show your abilities.

Otherwise, you guys will not only lose your face in the future, but you will also not be able to straighten your waist when you are in front of the old lady, right? "

All the nuns understood what Zhou Rui meant.

So, taking advantage of the few days that he didn't leave, whenever he had the opportunity, he took Xiangling and Ying'er and taught them some things.

They are seasoned.

Knowing that young people are shy, it is not easy to listen to others because of their youth.

Therefore, all kinds of methods were used to scare Xiangling and Yinger so much that they dare not listen carefully or study hard, so they cheered up 12 points.

Time flies.

Zhou Rui and all the nuns, sent by Zhou Ji, came back the same way.

Ying'er and Xiangling watched the people from Jia's mansion leave helplessly, feeling even more uneasy and frightened in this strange environment.

Within a few days, Qin Keqing became busy.

Account books and deacons from all over the country were sent to the General's Mansion one by one.

In the horse market in the West Liao Corridor, the Xue family contributes people, labor, money and business channels, and the shopkeeper Jun Song is in charge, accounting for [-]%.

Beizhen Jiedu Mansion accounted for [-]%, and their people did not mention it.

Jinzhou's side also accounted for [-]%, and Ding Sheng'an was in charge, as well as Wu Liang, the son of the Wu family.One is the old general, and the other is the general's cousin.

In fact, although this business has huge profits, the Xue family didn't make much money.

Sixty percent of the benefits are gone, and only forty percent is left. Excluding the monthly money of the shopkeeper, various expenses, etc., it is better than nothing.

However, the Xue family has to do this business with a face. Sometimes in business, profit is not the most important thing.

[-]% of the benefits brought [-] horses to Golden State last year. According to the figures on the books this year, it is estimated that it will bring [-] horses this year.

A horse needs to be carefully maintained, and it consumes more than three, four, or five people.

If it weren't for North Korea's provision of horse breeding land and natural pastures, Jinzhou really couldn't afford it.

The horse mules supplied by the imperial court to Jinzhou are military and political.

This is the business of the general's mansion. Although it is subsidized to the military and government, the accounts still need to be clearly distinguished.

There is also the ginseng trade.

The [-] jin of ginseng that North Korea supplies to Zhenjiang every year also belongs to the income of the general's mansion, but Li Chengxian organized the people to dig ginseng in North Korea, which belongs to the government.

There are also merchants who go to Jinzhou to do business.

Taxes and the like belonged to the government, while the business on the cabinet that the second master of Jinling was in charge of, the profits belonged to the general's mansion.

The fields, salt fields, fishing grounds, mountain products, etc. all belong to the government.

bits and pieces.

Although all the money is spent on military and political affairs, public and private affairs must be clearly distinguished, and the account books must also be clearly distinguished.

The general uses his own money to subsidize various places. This is the general's virtue.

Otherwise, the account books are confused, and it will be considered as a matter of course.

Feng Shengzhi mentioned several times that the horses smuggled from the general horse market should be brought under the management of the government's horse administration. Although officials were indeed assigned to manage them, they had different temperaments.

In the past, the general's mansion didn't have much income, so it wasn't that complicated.

Now that the general's mansion has received more income, the original manpower is no longer available, and then the Qin family began to intervene.

The income of the family should have been managed by the inner house.

Even the royal family is the same.

For example, the Huangzhuang Huangdian in Dazhou was also managed by the concubine.

Tang Qing'an saw that Qin Keqing was doing a good job, more meticulous and patient than him, so he didn't object to her.

"We still have to send someone to inform the second master, and ask him to invite some capable shopkeepers to come to Jinzhou to help the general's mansion take care of these things."

When the deacons heard Madam's words outside, they all nodded in approval.

They were so busy that they were not willing to let others intervene at first, but after two years of busy work, they already wished for someone to help.

"This year's profits cannot be directly handed over to Feng Shengzhi, Gu Yingshi and the others like in previous years, and those returned to the treasury, even if it takes a little more effort."

Qin Keqing put down a booklet in her hand and lightly placed it on the moved table, which was full of account books sent from various places.

These account books will then be sent to the accounting room for accounting and proofreading one by one.

"No matter where you ask for it, of course you have to give it, give it heartily, and give it respectfully.

But only give if you need it, and don’t give it if you don’t want it. We have worked hard, and although we are all dedicated to the public, we can’t be taken advantage of. "

When the deacons heard the words, they all laughed and said that it should have been like this long ago.

The business of several 10 taels of silver a year can't be checked in a short while, Qin Keqing can't even take care of the small work.

Wait for the deacons to leave.

Zhou exhorted, "Madam, take care of yourself, she is pregnant now."

Qin Keqing endured the nausea in her heart and forced herself to drink a bowl of old hen wolfberry and yam soup, only to feel nauseous for a while.

The chest still hurts.

But that person is not at home.

Qin Keqing sighed.

"It's easy to let go of this matter. The general will appoint someone to take care of it. It won't be easy for me to take it back then."

Hearing Madam's words, Mrs. Zhou was also speechless.

Pregnancy is important, and so are these things.

The nanny of Jia's mansion is really powerful, usually she doesn't look like mountains and waters, but when she speaks, she beats around the bush, which makes people dare not be careless.

In a few days, Miss Xiangling and Ying'er were trained to become different people, like a full-fledged vixen.

Can you bear it when the general returns?
"Ugh."

Zhou sighed lightly.

I used to think that their situation in Jinzhou was no worse than that of Gaomen in the capital, but they didn't have that name.

This time I met half of Allah before I realized the difference.

Not to mention that Qin Keqing is busy here.

Ying'er and Xiangling didn't have a fixed status in the mansion, if they were aunts and concubines, they should be arranged as maids.

If it's a maid, it's up to you to do your job, no matter if it's a first-class maid inside or a poor maid outside.

The general didn't explain before he left, and the wife didn't dare to call the shots.

The two were very uncomfortable because of this, they were at a loss and didn't know what to do. They went to the wife to say hello every day, and the wife was busy, so they couldn't take care of them.

He sent them back to his own yard, and did not arrange work for them.

In addition to going to the wife's place when eating, doing laundry, fetching water and cleaning and other chores, there are women who come to collect them every day.

Being idle with nothing to do, and feeling restless, feels extremely uncomfortable.

Whenever Jin Chuan'er came to visit them, she could relax a little bit. Some people talked about relenting and relenting, and even brought Qingwen here a few times.

When she was in Jia's mansion, although Qingwen's heart was not in Jia's mansion, they often played with each other.

But it is different from Jia Mansion.

At that time, they were still ignorant little girls, and what they said was only small talk between daughters.

Now Jin Chuan'er and Qingwen don't mention it, Ying'er and Xiangling, after a few days of teaching by the nuns, the four of them always talk in that direction.

Just like in Jia's mansion, the maids kept talking about Jia Baoyu.

Now in Jinzhou, no matter if it is a woman or a servant girl, of course they always talk about the general.

"What good things have you eaten quietly in the past few years to make up this place so much?"

Ying'er knows that Qingwen is different from Jin Chuan'er, so she deliberately teases her, hoping to get better with her and have more hearts.

"How old am I?"

During the few years Qingwen was in the mansion, regardless of other people's gossip, she brazenly wanted to kiss the general, and she had long practiced a look of invulnerability.

Ying'er's words didn't move her at all, instead she pulled Xiangling and smiled.

"I want to ask Dai'er, how did you grow so big because you were so quiet and didn't eat much before?"

Dai Xiangling is no match for Qingwen, who has been listening to the foot of the bed for several years.

She is still very troubled these days.

Seeing Qingwen's dress, Ying'er insisted on letting her learn Qingwen's example together with her, plus the tricks of the nuns in those few days...

Now she dare not straighten her waist when she goes out, she always feels like she has no clothes on.

I had a dream several times. I dreamed that after getting up in the morning, I went out wearing a tube top without wearing a coat.

Then woke up from the dream.

Afraid and ashamed.

Now the three of them are dressed in the same way, and Jin Chuan'er has also imitated them, so they are all the same.

Xiangling slapped Qingwen's hand away again.

A look of bitterness.

They all seem to have changed, it's better to stay in Jia's mansion, at least everyone is honest and their words are clean.

Seeing Xiangling's dumbfounded appearance, Ying'er sighed inwardly.

Xiangling has always been a fool, she must be counting on her, so how can he be his wife's opponent.

Thinking of Mammy's words, life and death are all in the mind of Madam, and her hairs stand on end.

She has been with the young lady since she was a child. Although she is a maid, she is actually no different from the young lady in the inferior family.

Where did I get these scares.

In my heart, I resented the former apprentice of that family, and hoped that he could treat her well because of the past affection.

When he was still in a hundred households, he saw his wife for the first time when he returned to the capital, and Mrs. Wang happened to be there too, and he was going to send him off, so he went to talk to him himself.

I don't know if he still remembers.
