Chapter 21 Zhou Zijin's Self-Recommendation

When Yan Yu woke up, she felt dizzy, her mood fluctuated too much yesterday, and she still feels unwell.She leaned against the bed in a daze: Why did she lose her composure so far yesterday, like an abandoned woman.

Inadvertently finished the eclipse, and Lanyue came in.Pretending to be mysterious, he said, "Girl, guess who is here to see you?"

Judging by her expression, she is definitely not the enemy from her previous life.

"Oh, who?"

"It's a handsome and good son."

"Okay, don't say half and half. Who is it?"

"I haven't seen this servant either. This person claims to be surnamed Zhou, and he came here to recommend himself."

"Oh, that's interesting."

After all, I have not set up a mansion now, so it is very inconvenient for the Duke's mansion.But thinking of how polite the family is treating her now, they sent someone to ask Mrs. Dong.

In the end, it was arranged to meet in the yard where Mrs. Dong used to meet with the steward.

Yan Yu met Zhou Zijin for the first time, and he was indeed handsome and handsome.The eyes are like a red phoenix, the eyebrows are like lying silkworms, the demeanor is elegant and noble, and the demeanor is calm and indifferent.Although the clothes are old, it can be seen that the materials are high-quality and the style is old. This person seems to have some experience.

"The villain has met the girl. The villain's surname is Zhou, and her name is Zijin. She is from Yangzhou. I came to see the girl today, so I recommended myself. I heard that the girl is about to establish a female household. Zhou is not talented, and wants to find a job in the house. .”

"Oh, I'm about to set up a female household, and I'm short of manpower, but I don't know what you can do for me? Since I want to get a position in charge, I should be a bit talented."

"Zhou is the young owner of Xiangyun Villa in Yangzhou." After saying this, he paused, and then said: "The former young owner."

At this time, Shan Qing whispered to Yan Yu: "I seem to have seen this man before."

Zhou Zijin still heard it, and said: "This girl has good eyesight, Zhou is the one who played Dengwen Drum a few months ago."

"You are the one who exposed the Yangzhou corruption case?"

"Yes, the villain and my father run many industries in Yangzhou, the most famous of which is Xiangyun Villa. Because the local corrupt officials are greedy and disturb the people's livelihood, the villain is unwilling to join forces with them, so he was framed. Countless properties of the family were taken away. , my father and mother died tragically, and dozens of people in the mansion were also sent to the frontier. The villain escaped on the way to exile." When Zhou Zijin said this, his face was expressionless, as if he had said it countless times.

Yan Yu was terrified and sympathetic when she heard this.

"After beating the Dengwen drum to appeal for grievances, the villain was punished for thirty years with a cane, and he lay down for half a month before recuperating.

Later, the emperor found out that there was indeed a major corruption case in Yangzhou, and the case in the villain's family was about to be retried.Younger brothers and younger sisters cannot return to their hometowns, and even if they do, they will have nothing.The villain wants to find a job, and when the family members come back, they can also be placed. "

"I see, but how did you choose me?"

"The villain also wanted to go to other high-ranking and big families to seek employment, but repeatedly hit the wall. Even if there are those who are willing to take in the villain, there is not much room for the villain to develop. That day, the villain saw the girl from a distance at the gate of Prince Gong's mansion. one side."

After returning home, Zhou Zijin thought: Instead of finding a safe job as a manager in a high-ranking family, it is better to go to Ms. Yan's family and do her best work for Ms. Yan.

"Miss, you can trust the villain. The villain has some talent for business. It is in the hands of the villain that Xiangyun Villa has been able to grow."

"It's good. But it's the first time I've met you. I still need to verify what you said. After all, only after the verification is clear can the employer be suspicious. Do you think so?"

Zhou Zijin agreed, said nothing more, left his address, and left immediately.

Yan Yu feels that God is helping her recently. If Zhou Zijin is indeed the young owner of Xiangyun Villa, then the properties in her hands will probably grow stronger.

But, how do people far away in Yangzhou check his identity?
She has no one to use, but the old concubine once said that if anyone needs help, just go to the steward Liu in their house.

The chief steward of such a family as Prince Gong's Mansion has extremely well-connected contacts.

"Shan Qing, you go to Prince Gong's Mansion and find out about Mr. Liu." Shan Qing took the order and went out.

In the afternoon, the stewards of several shops came.All four of them are well-dressed and have a happy face, which is the style of people who are used to doing business.

"The villain has seen the girl."

After all, the government has not yet been divided, although Yan Yu has already held their deeds, Yan Yu has no intention of lecturing, but politely asked about the current business situation of the shop, whether the manpower is sufficient, and how is the customer flow?The four shopkeepers were very respectful and fluent in their answers.Yan Yu was very satisfied, and asked Aunt Xian to show it to several people.

There are four shops, one is a cloth shop, one is an embroidery shop, one is a pastry shop, and the other is a rouge shop.The brothers are really caring.

"I don't have time to take care of these four shops now. You guys sorted out the accounts of recent years and sent them over. But I'm looking for you today because I don't have anyone available. The house on Wangfu Avenue needs to be repaired, and there are also I need to buy manpower, I wonder if there is a way for you to manage things?"

After all, they are the shop stewards of the Duke's Mansion, and they all nodded.The tallest of them, the steward surnamed Cui, said, "Girl, does the house need to be rebuilt?"

Yan Yu said: "There is no need to rebuild. All the houses are preserved, but the interior decoration and several yards need to be worked on. After all, it is a four-entry house, and it takes at least three months to decorate, but it takes nine years here. We moved there on the eighth day of the month."

Cui Guanshi nodded, and said: "Girl, since that's the case, I know a craftsman who once worked in the Ministry of Industry, and he has participated in the repair of the palace. This person has some unique insights into the decoration, and he is also driving the car. There are all kinds of people who decorate houses and shops."

"That's great. I'll entrust you with this matter. Before you prepare to repair it, please ask the craftsman to tell me how it was repaired. Aunt Xian, you hand over the house key to Cui Guanshi."

"Thank you for your trust. The villain will go to him immediately. He will need about three or four days to finalize the repair plan. At that time, the villain will invite you to Wangfu Street to have a look. Do you think it is feasible?"

Steward Cui hastily resigned.

Another steward surnamed Wu said: "Girl, what are your plans for buying servants?" Wait, about 30 people."

Wu Guanshi said: "Miss, you have some achievements in your heart. In this way, the villain can know a few people's teeth. Girl, when you are free, the villain will lead the girl to those houses. The girl personally How about picking someone?"

"Okay, how about tomorrow morning."

The two made an appointment, and Manager Wu also went down.

When the other two stewards saw that both of them had got new posts, this was a good opportunity to show their faces in front of the master, and they couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Yan Yu said: "The two stewards should also go down. I have just established a mansion, and there will be many things that need your help in the future."

The two stewards went down happily after hearing this.

Aunt Xian said: "The girl has grown up now, and she already has the demeanor of being a housewife."
