Zhao Zi tossed and turned all night and didn't fall asleep until dawn. Just after sleeping for an hour, Jin'er woke Zhao Zi up.
"Jin'er, what time is it?" Zhao Zi looked at Jin'er sleepily.
"Miss, it's three o'clock in the morning. Butler He just came to deliver a message. The Marquis invited the lady to go to the city for fun today." Jin'er's face was full of smiles.
"Really? Jin'er, go and prepare hot water, I want to take a bath." Zhao Zi was completely sleepless, and his face was full of joy.
"Miss, Jin'er is ready. Miss can go take a bath now." Jin'er has followed Zhao Zi since she was a child, so she naturally knows her habits and preferences.
An hour later, Xia Jingyao and Zhao Zi left the Yongan Marquis Mansion together. As soon as Xia Jingyao and the others left, Liu Yunqing asked Butler He to gather everyone in the house.
"Today, we have gathered everyone together. I believe you also know the reason. Miss Zhao is kind-hearted and wants to solve the difficulties for everyone. But the difficulties you mentioned are a bit too overwhelming. No one can get something for nothing, even if they are Neither can Mr. Hou. You have only seen the current scenery of Mr. Hou, but you don’t know how many scars he has on his body, and you don’t know how many times he has experienced life and death.
Of course, since Miss Zhao wants to help everyone, we can't let down Miss Zhao's kindness. Each of you thinks of a problem that needs to be solved urgently. Remember, it is a problem that needs to be solved, not a random wish for you. After thinking about it, tell Butler He first. After Butler He agrees, you can go to the person who asked you about the difficulty and tell him that this is the only difficulty you have. If you work steadily in the Hou Mansion, I will give you a monthly salary increase every year in the future. Those who have made special contributions to the Hou Mansion will also be given extra silver coins as rewards. In short, as long as you work hard and pay, you will be rewarded accordingly.
In addition, starting from this year, a separate amount of money will be prepared in the Hou Mansion to help people in need. If you have difficulties, you can apply to Butler He, and after verifying that the situation is true, you can use the money to solve the difficulties. Of course, if someone makes a false report, his or her application will be permanently disqualified. This is the Marquis’s home, and it is also your home. I hope everyone will work together to make the Marquis’ Mansion better and better. "Liu Yunqing's move can be said to have served multiple purposes. It not only solved Zhao Zi's troubles, but also improved the enthusiasm and cohesion of his subordinates.
"Thank you, Mr. Marquis, and thank you, madam." When they first heard Liu Yunqing's words, everyone was still a little dissatisfied. By the time they heard the end, they were already extremely grateful to Liu Yunqing.
After settling the matter, Liu Yunqing took Lian'er and Haitang out of the house. Today, she also made an appointment with Jiang Heng to discuss business matters.
Zhao Zi has not been so happy for a long time. He visited many stores and bought a lot of things throughout the morning. The guards and maids who followed him already had their hands full.
"Brother Jing, Xiao Zi is a little hungry. Let's go have a meal." He didn't eat breakfast. After walking around for so long, Zhao Zi was already hungry and his stomach was growling.
"Well, okay, let's go to Huixianglou." Xia Jingyao heard Liu Yunqing mention that the dishes at Huixianglou are delicious.
As soon as he arrived on the second floor of Huixiang Building, Xia Jingyao saw Liu Yunqing sitting by the window. There was a man sitting opposite Liu Yunqing. Xia Jingyao looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. Xia Jingyao walked towards Liu Yunqing. Zhao Zi saw Liu Yunqing and a man eating, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"Master Hou, why are you here?" Seeing Xia Jingyao coming, Liu Yunqing stood up in surprise.
"Liu Yunqing, you are Brother Jing's fiancée, how can you have a secret meeting with a man here?" Zhao Zi asked in a bad tone.
"Jiang Heng, the villain, has met the Marquis before, but he didn't expect to see the Marquis here again." Jiang Heng stood up and saluted Xia Jingyao.
"It turns out to be Mr. Jiang. It seems that Mr. Jiang's branch has opened." Xia Jingyao recognized the person in front of him. He also sent He Wu to investigate Jiang Heng, but there was nothing unusual in the investigation results.
"It's my honor that the Marquis can still remember the villain. Thanks to the blessing of the Marquis, the villain's branch has been opened and the business is doing well. The villain and his wife have business dealings, and today is We are here to discuss business." Jiang Heng explained for Liu Yunqing.
"Is the business deal over?" Xia Jingyao looked at Liu Yunqing and asked.
"After the discussion, shopkeeper Li will be responsible for the rest." Liu Yunqing nodded.
"Mr. Jiang, I will not send you off." Xia Jingyao issued an order to expel Jiang Heng.
"You're welcome, Mr. Marquis. I still have things to deal with in the little man's shop, so I'll take my leave first." Jiang Heng saluted Xia Jingyao and Liu Yunqing very well, and then left to go back to Xianglou.
"Master Marquis, please take a seat. Miss Zhao, please take a seat. Lian'er, go and ask the waiter to clear the table." Soon, the waiter came up and cleared the table.
"Master Marquis, Miss Zhao, what do you want to eat? Does Miss Zhao have any taboos?" Liu Yunqing asked with a smile.
"Liu Yunqing, how can you meet with a man alone? If someone sees this, it will damage the face of the Hou Mansion." After Zhao Zi sat down, he scolded Liu Yunqing.
"We never meet alone. Lian'er and Haitang are both following us. When discussing business, it's normal to have dinner together. Miss Zhao, don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart." Liu Yunqing An unceremonious rebuttal.
"A woman is supposed to be in a boudoir, how can she do business in public? With you outside like this, where is the face of the Marquis Mansion? Have you ever thought about Brother Jing?" Zhao Zi refused to give up.
"Do you mind if I do business?" Liu Yunqing looked at Xia Jingyao and asked.
"I don't mind, as long as you're happy." Xia Jingyao looked at Liu Yunqing and replied softly. Liu Yunqing looked at Zhao Zi proudly.
"Brother Jing, you can't indulge her like this. If you indulge her like this, you will definitely cause big trouble for Brother Jing in the future." Seeing the look in Liu Yunqing's eyes, Zhao Zi felt his chest feel tight.
"Xiao Zi, you said you were hungry. What do you want to eat? If you don't know what to eat, let Qing'er order it. She is very familiar with Huixianglou and knows which dishes are delicious." Xia Jingyao did not pick up Zhao Zi. if.
"Brother Jing, let's take a look. Zi'er doesn't have anything in particular to eat." At this moment, Zhao Zi couldn't think of anything to eat. The good mood of the whole morning was suddenly ruined.
"Lian'er, go ahead and order what the Marquis likes." Liu Yunqing told Lian'er to order, and specifically mentioned that he would order what Xia Jingyao liked, completely ignoring Zhao Zi.
Zhao Zi was angry in his heart, but had no way to vent it. Seeing Zhao Zi's angry look, Liu Yunqing couldn't help but want to laugh.
Soon, delicious dishes were served one after another. Xia Jingyao and Liu Yunqing ate with gusto, while Liu Yunqing ate very little. After all, she had already eaten. She kept picking up dishes for Xia Jingyao, and Xia Jingyao accepted everyone who came and ate very happily. But Zhao Zi was indifferent and kept staring at Xia Jingyao and Liu Yunqing.
After lunch, Xia Jingyao asked Liu Yunqing to stay and go shopping together. Hearing that Liu Yunqing wanted to join him, Zhao Zi was still in the mood. I found an excuse and ended today's shopping. Xia Jingyao and Liu Yunqing didn't go shopping either, and returned to the Hou Mansion with Zhao Zi.
