Spoilers for The Red Mansion, Daiyu’s mentality is broken

Chapter 345 The Grand View Garden is completed

Lin Zhixiao hurriedly saluted and said, "Bless me, Third Master. I wonder what your instructions are?"

Jia Huan couldn't help but ask: "Lin Zhixiao, I wonder how many coachmen there are in our house?"

Lin Zhixiao said hurriedly: "Go back to Third Master, in order to prevent the masters from going out together, our house has nine coachmen."

"Two of them followed the third master to Ping'an County, and one came back with the third master. Now there are eight coachmen left."

Eight coachmen is not a small number, but the number is still not enough.

Jia Huan asked again: "Lin Zhixiao, then go to Xifu and borrow four coachmen. I will use them tomorrow. By the way, do you still need me to come forward and tell my ancestors?"

Lin Zhixiao smiled and said: "Third Master, it's just a small thing like borrowing a few coachmen, why do you need Third Master to come forward in person? That old slave has been living in vain for so many years."

Jia Huan smiled and said: "That's good. By the way, I want you to make dozens of banners overnight and hang them on the four-wheeled carriages I ordered to send tomorrow."

"Then tomorrow, you have the driver drive the four-wheeled carriage around the entire capital. Don't run too fast, run slowly, so that everyone can see these banners clearly."

Lin Zhixiao was surprised by what he heard, and he hurriedly asked: "Third Master, I wonder what words should be written on this banner? How big of a banner do you want?"

Jia Huan told what words to write on the banner, and then said: "As for the size of the banner, you can decide according to the size of the four-wheeled carriage. The main thing is to let people see it clearly. By the way, remember not to block the glass. "

Lin Zhixiao was shocked when he heard what Jia Huan asked him to write on the banner.

He hurriedly asked: "Third Master, do you really want to write like this? Isn't this illegal? If the superiors blame it, then..."

Jia Huan smiled and said, "You can write whatever I tell you to do. If anything happens, I will take care of it. What are you afraid of?"

Lin Zhixiao could only say: "Yes, Third Master."

Jia Huan added: "By the way, in the future, if anyone customizes a carriage, they will come to you. On your side, you should record the list and remember their address clearly."

"If there are people who paid a deposit, how much deposit you collected must be recorded clearly. Then when you see that the total is too much, send it to Ping'an County."

"I will trouble you to take care of these things in the early stage. Later, we will have to find a warehouse and shop in the capital, so you won't have to work so hard."

Now Lin Zhixiao has just become the chief steward of Ningguo Mansion, and in Ningguo Mansion, the serious master Jia Huan is not at home.

The next two masters, You Shi, Xiao Qin Shi and Xichun, are all very law-abiding and rarely trouble him.

Of course, Lin Zhixiao was also very respectful to them and showed no signs of neglect.

This mansion is actually very peaceful.

It's no wonder that Lin Zhixiao was about to gain weight just a few days after taking office.

Now that the Third Master has found something for him to do, Lin Zhixiao is actually very happy.

Lin Zhixiao said hurriedly: "Third Master, just leave such small things to me. Working for Third Master is a blessing for us, so why is there any hard work?"

Jia Huan nodded and said, "Okay, then go down and get ready."

After Lin Zhixiao retreated, Jia Huan found that Xiangling was holding Qingwen and talking loudly.

Jia Huan heard Xiang Ling talking about how Du Gongbu was so melancholy, Wei Suzhou was so elegant, Wen Bacha was so elegant, and Li Yishan was so reclusive.

Jia Huan couldn't help but smile after hearing this. He remembered that this should be Shi Xiangyun's argument.

Xiangling must have gotten it from Shi Xiangyun. Jia Mu must have picked up Shi Xiangyun these days.Shi Xiangyun, a hero among girls, met Xiangling, a poetry geek.

Jia Huan saw a look of impatience on Qingwen's face, but suppressed it, obviously not very interested.

This girl, Xiao Jixiang, rested her chin on her hands and was taking a nap while listening.

Yuanyang sat not far away and looked at them with a smile.

Xiao Hong was checking the accounts with a ledger.

Seeing Jia Huan come in, Xiao Hong hurriedly came over to report: "Third Master, this is the expenditure account book of the Provincial Courtyard. Since I took over, I have spent a total of 17 taels of silver."

"A total of 51 taels of silver was spent before and after. Now the main body has been completed. Only some details are left that need to be repaired. It will only take a few days."

"Third Master, take a look at this account book. Are there any inaccuracies in the records?"

Jia Huan took the account book, looked through it and then threw it away.

Xiaohong's records were very detailed and there was nothing wrong with them.

Jia Huan did not calculate the specific accounts. There were two governments that audited the accounts and fought against corruption. He believed that Xiaohong did not dare to risk the world's disdain for corruption.

Jia Huan said with a smile: "Third Master has always been suspicious of people when employing them. Since I can safely leave the errands to you, I naturally trust you. I don't need to read these account books."

"I've worked hard on you these days. How do you think Third Master should reward you? What reward do you want?"

Xiao Hong pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Third Master, this is what a slave should do. Third Master's trust is the greatest reward for a slave. How can I dare to ask for more?"

Jia Huan smiled and said, "You should be rewarded for your good work. If you don't reward your merits and punish your mistakes, it would be out of character."

"In this way, when you go to the accountant to pay 50 taels of silver, you will say that it was given to you by the third master. In addition, the rest of you have worked hard without any merit. You have all worked hard. You all went to the accountant to withdraw 20 taels of silver, which is also three taels of silver. This is what I reward you with."

The other girls, when they heard that Jia Huan had rewarded Xiaohong heavily, felt sour and a little unconvinced.

When Jia Huan also rewarded them, although not as much as Xiao Hong, they didn't do anything, which was an unexpected surprise.

Therefore, all the girls were very happy and thanked him endlessly.

Xiaohong said again: "Third Master, the garden is now completed, but the various places have not been named yet. I asked Third Master to inscribe and name them."

After listening to Xiao Hong's words, Jia Huan thought for a while and finally decided to use the name in the Red Mansions book.

Although he could plagiarize better poems and couplets, it would be a pity if he really changed the name and lost the charm of the Red Mansion.

(Well, the truth is that the dog author has little talent and knowledge, so he has no choice but to follow the rules)

Jia Huan relied on his memory to write down the names and couplets of all the scenery in the Grand View Garden.

Then Xiaohong was ordered to hang around first.

Concubine Xian De has not yet visited the bride, so it is difficult to decide on it. She has to wait for Concubine Xian De to read it before she can finally engrave it on it.

After Jia Huan finished writing, Xiao Hong had not taken it over, but Xiang Ling had already come over and grabbed the paper.

After reading for a long time, Xiang Ling couldn't help but said: "What the Third Master wrote is naturally excellent, but it seems to be a little different from the few poems that the Third Master wrote before!"
