Li Miao now fully understood what Jia Zhen meant. Li Miao also had a thousand wishes in her heart. But although Li Miao was willing in her heart, she did so without anyone knowing. Li Miao was unwilling to do anything like this.
"Brother Zhen, if anything happens in the house, you can come to me. Farewell." Before Jia Zhen could speak, Li Miao hurriedly left. To be honest, even if Li Miao is willing, ever since he established the foundation, his seed has been in and out of control for his woman.
Li Miao returned to his study and fell into deep thought. Jia Zhen seemed to have grasped her own life-saving straw. Regardless of whether she was a scholar of Jintan Enlightenment or not, she revealed all the secrets of Ningguo Mansion.
With Jia Jing's death, the cultivation techniques have lost traces. There are also destined to be many unknown secrets, buried along with Jia Jing in the long history. For example, Qin Keqing's origin is definitely more than just an orphan.
All this is important, but not important. Now Li Miao knows that he is deeply involved in the cause and effect of Rong Ning's second house. Change the fate of Rong Ning's second house being confiscated and exiled. has become a top priority.
In particular, Ningguo Mansion was the first to bear the brunt. Although the emperor will not take action against Ning Guo Mansion for the time being, if things continue like this, Ning Guo Mansion will not be far away from confiscating the family and exterminating the clan. Nowadays, Ningguo Mansion has a bad reputation, and public opinion itself is a knife that kills people without blood.
Li Miao knew that if he did not intervene, the final fate of Ningguo Mansion would have been doomed. Fortunately, Li Miao's current small teahouse has the function of guiding public opinion.
Li Miao didn't think about shaping Ningguo Mansion's reputation too well. Just so-so. Under the arrangement of Butler Wang, Ningguo Mansion's reputation in the capital soon improved a lot.
At the very least, it's no longer my case that I'm in trouble and my son is disobedient. It's just that Jia Zhen and Jia Rong's father and son are still a pair of dandies waiting to die.
Ningguo Mansion is no longer a topic of conversation among people after dinner. Public opinion always pursues new, strange, and strange things. The dandy father and son who are just eating and waiting to die are not ranked at all. As a result, Ning Guofu was no longer at the forefront of public opinion. Gradually it returned to calm.
Jia Zhen has not looked for Li Miao again since that banquet. It seems like nothing happened. Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and his son still returned to their original life trajectory. Living a life of eating and waiting to die.
Once many lifestyle habits are formed, it is difficult to change them.
Li Miao has been back in Beijing for nearly half a month, except for the occasional roll call at Honglu Temple. I still stay at home most of the time. Accompany his wives, concubines, and children. The life was quite pleasant.
Li Wan is now determined to break up with Li Miao. Even if he occasionally visits Li Mansion, it is purely to see Jia Lan. Or communicate with the women in the backyard. Li Miao invited her to the study several times to discuss matters, but Li Wan flatly refused.
Li Miao also sneaked into Li Wan's room several times, but every time he saw Li Wan sleeping between Li Wen and Li Qi. Obviously Li Wan was determined for Jia Lan's future this time.
Li Miao had no choice but to put aside Li Wan's affairs for the time being. Respect her choice. This time Li Miao made another discovery. The original suppression of his own consciousness by Rongguo Mansion has completely disappeared.
I wonder if it's because Li Miao is already a fourth-grade official. Li Miao now goes in and out of Rong Ning's second residence and no longer feels the suppression of his spiritual consciousness. This was an unexpected surprise. The future Rongning Second Mansion became Li Miao's back garden, where he could come and go as he pleased.
That day Li Miao was writing silently in the study. Youshi and Qin Keqing came to visit hand in hand. After Li Miao rescued Jia Zhen, Jia Zhen completely handed over the housekeeping rights to Youshi and Qin Keqing, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Even the keys to the treasury were handed over.
The financial situation of Ningguo Mansion is slightly better than that of Rongguo Mansion. Fortunately, there are almost no debts, and the only creditor is the Department of Accounts. The household department of Ningguo Mansion owes two hundred thousand taels of silver, which is only a fraction of that of Rongguo Mansion.
Youshi and Qin Keqing were also delighted after receiving the keys to the treasury. After all, Jia Zhen, the housekeeper, only spends money these years. Don't care about anything else. But after the two women looked through the account books and then checked the treasury, they were immediately confused.
In fact, the family fortune of Ningguo Mansion is thicker than that of Rongguo Mansion. Compared with Rongguofu, the population is sparse. Both You and Qin Keqing were born into ordinary families. There is no generous dowry. Especially compared with the female relatives of Rongguo Mansion, they are far different.
You were born into an ordinary family and had almost no dowry. Being accepted as a concubine by Jia Zhen is actually a step to the sky, and later she can become Jia Zhen's step-mother. Became the mistress of Ningguo Mansion. It can be seen that Youshi is extraordinary.
Youshi can stand out among so many women in Jia Zhen. Not only because of his outstanding appearance, but also because of You's ability to deal with people. Can be recognized by Jia Zhen.
Youshi and Qin Keqing saw that there were only more than 10,000 taels of silver in the treasury. It is simply impossible to maintain the normal expenses of Ningguo Mansion. He was also very anxious. Is it possible that Ningguo Mansion will also follow in the footsteps of Rongguo Mansion? Make a living by pawning items in your home.
Fortunately, when Jia Zhen handed over the power of the housekeeper, she told her that if anything happened, she could ask Li Miao for help. So Youshi and Qin Keqing immediately came to Li Miao's study for help.
Li Miao looked at Youshi and Qin Keqing sitting opposite him. I thought, if they come alone. I guess I can't help but want them. If the factor of Jin Chai is excluded, Li Miao actually prefers Youshi.
Youshi is dignified and dignified, and he is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Outstanding ability to deal with people. Otherwise, Youshi would not be where he is today. Although You and Qin Keqing jointly manage the house. After all, the You family has seniority to suppress them, so they must have the upper hand.
But Qin Keqing is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She possesses the comprehensive abilities of Wang Xifeng and Ping'er. Jia Zhen is discerning. Let You's second housekeeper. Not to mention abilities, they can also restrain each other. Li Miao couldn't help but look at Jia Zhen with admiration.
It seems that Jia Zhen is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she is not lacking in ability. It's just that the situation is pressing and there is nothing we can do. Now Jia Zhen obviously kicked the ball to Li Miao. A dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor.
Li Miao looked at the two daughters of the You family, "Since you have started to manage the house, you must come up with a strategy yourself. I can only help." Although Li Miao is not short of money, giving money directly is not a long-term solution.
Besides, Li Miao still needs to pay attention to the impact. What would outsiders think of giving money to Ning Guofu for no reason? Besides, for an industry as big as Ningguo Mansion, as long as the management is in place, there will still be a shortage of money.
Li Miao is also very curious about the abilities of Youshi and Qin Keqing. Let's see what the two girls will do. To what extent it can be achieved. I also want to see how the two girls will get along.
Li Miao and her two daughters have serious matters to discuss. The charm is also not released. After listening to Li Miao's words, Youshi lowered her head and said nothing, looking shy. Qin Keqing stared at Li Miao, her cheeks flushed.
Li Miao felt a little strange. She clearly had no intention of seducing. What is your expression? I haven't released my charm yet? Li Miao soon understood that Jia Zhen probably said something to the two girls.
Li Miao is also the most disgusted with Jia Zhen's behavior, treating herself like a stallion. Li Miao cleared her throat. "If you haven't figured it out yet, go back and discuss the countermeasures and come to me again."
Youshi didn't react at all. Did he have any intention of leaving? He just sat with his head bowed. Qin Keqing stood up. "Uncle, actually we have already discussed it. We are here to borrow someone to use as a servant of the Li family."
Qin Keqing began to express their thoughts. The expenses of the Ningguo Mansion are not too large. If the industries in the mansion are managed well, it will still be enough for the Ningguo Mansion's expenses. There are only a few masters in Ningguo Mansion. Unlike the Rongguo Mansion where there are many masters, there are still palaces to support them.
When Li Miao heard this, Qin Keqing made sense. If we can really do this, the income and expenditure of Ningguo Mansion will not be a problem. Looking at Qin Keqing now, he is not so unbearable and quite likable.
Qin Keqing was already good-looking, and she was naturally charming. He has a natural attraction for Li Miao. Qin Keqing, who works seriously, has a unique flavor. But is Youshi still sitting?
Li Miao didn't waste any time, "You can use the manpower of Li Mansion at any time. If you need anything else, you can come to me at any time. You go ahead."
Li Miao had to issue an order to expel guests. At this time, Li Miao's glass ball began to act mischievously again. In addition, the arrogance that had been suppressed began to cause trouble again. This glass ball is too suitable for any occasion.
Watching Youshi and Qin Keqing leave reluctantly. Especially Youshi couldn't help but look back, and Li Miao almost couldn't hold it back. I want to punish the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law on the spot.
