In the fifth year of Zhenguan, on the second day of the twelfth lunar month, at the beginning of Shenshi, Lantian County, Qin Mansion.
After returning from the research institute, Qin Ming returned to his yard. Before Qin Ming could enter his study, Qingwan, after hearing the servant's report, hurriedly walked into the courtyard with Sishe.
Seeing Qin Ming about to enter the house, he shouted from a distance.
"Son."
Qin Ming turned around and saw Qingwan walking in a hurry. He wondered what happened to everyone in the house today. Everyone looked anxious.
But he still smiled and asked:
"What happened?"
Qingwan looked at her son's confused look and felt a sense of distress for no reason.
She was just preparing dinner in the kitchen when she heard the God of Death hurriedly come to announce that the young master had returned home and he was still dirty.
Seeing Qin Ming like this, she stepped forward and pointed at Qin Ming's clothes and said:
"Sir, your clothes are dirty. Wan'er will take you to wash up and change clothes first."
Sishe looked like Wan'er's little follower and followed:
"Slave, go arrange for someone to get some hot water."
After saying that, he turned around and left the yard.
Qin Ming had just been thinking about paper making and cement and did not notice the clothes on his body. At this time, after listening to Qing Wan's words, he realized that his clothes were indeed stained with a lot of mud. It must have been accidentally rubbed in the paper making room. Arrived.
Thinking that he had just wanted to go back to the study to take a rest, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head. It seemed that he was really busy and dizzy.
After a while, Qin Ming, who had taken a shower and changed his clothes, sat on the sofa feeling refreshed.
Qingwan, whose face was flushed, leaned into Qin Ming's arms like a little daughter-in-law, serving Qin Ming tea.
Just when Qin Ming was thinking about continuing to bully his little maid, there was a knock on the door.
Accompanied by Yuechan's cold voice:
"Master Qin, Yuechan would like to see you."
Qingwan jumped up from Qin Ming's arms like a frightened deer and walked to stand behind Qin Ming.
Qin Ming glanced at Qingwan helplessly and then said towards the door;
"Please come in."
After hearing this, Yuechan opened the door and entered the room. Xiao Changxi came with her. Yuechan bowed to Qin Ming and said:
"Master Qin."
Qin Ming looked at Xiao Changxi, then at Yuechan and said:
"Miss Yuechan, what's the matter?"
Yuechan stood up and looked at Qin Ming with eyes full of respect. After all, she had been copying books for a day and was deeply impressed by Qin Ming's talent.
She looked at Qin Ming and said:
"This slave is here to say goodbye to Mr. Qin."
Qin Ming was surprised when he heard this:
"You copied such a thick book in one day?"
Yuechan glanced at Xiao Changxi and said:
"I would also like to thank Butler Xiao for this. She arranged for someone to copy it for the servants."
Xiao Changxi smiled and took Yuechan's hand and said:
"Miss Yuechan, you're welcome."
After speaking, she looked at Qin Ming and said:
"Sir, I have selected two people from this group of maids who are learning arithmetic, and asked Miss Yuechan to take them back. In addition, I have also selected the person who is responsible for the accounts of the tea house. Do you want to meet them?"
Qin Ming nodded when he heard this and said:
"Well, let them in."
Xiao Changxi walked out of the room after hearing this, and soon led the three maids into the study.
The three of them are not very old, only fourteen or fifteen years old. In fact, Qin Ming has seen them in the orphanage before.
When the three girls came in, they obediently bowed to Qin Ming and said:
"I've met the young master."
Xiao Changxi smiled and introduced several girls to Qin Ming, and explained who went to the teahouse and who followed them to the Li Mansion.
He looked at the three girls and said seriously:
"Well, when you leave the house from now on, you have to do things well. Whether you are in the teahouse or at Li's house, you must abide by the rules, you know?"
When the three women heard this, they responded "Yes" with some fear.
When Qin Ming saw the three women responding, Qin Ming stood up and bowed to Yue Chan:
"Miss Yuechan, Qin has something to say, please help me bring it to my aunt."
Yuechan staggered her body and said hurriedly:
"Master Qin, please tell me that your servant will definitely bring you."
"Xiao Tao and Xiao Xi are orphans adopted by my family. If one day they accidentally make a mistake in Li's family, I hope my aunt will forgive them for my sake.
Also, if one day they no longer play such a big role in Li Mansion, aunt can send them back to Qin Mansion. My Qin Mansion will arrange a good marriage for them. "
Yuechan, Qingwan, and Xiao Changxi were all shocked when they heard this, and the three girls were also moved to tears.
Xiaotao and Xiaoxi even knelt down and thanked Qin Ming repeatedly.
Yuechan couldn't help but praise in her heart, you are worthy of being Master Qin. I guess you, the Tang Dynasty, would think that being a slave in the Qin Mansion would be better than the imperial palace. But being able to say such words at this time also shows that Mr. Qin is a kind and righteous person.
Yuechan solemnly saluted Qin Ming and said:
"Don't worry, Mr. Qin, I will bring your words to you."
Qin Ming helped Xiao Tao and Xiao Xi up with tears on their faces, and then said to Xiao Qing who was going to the teahouse:
"Xiao Qing, just go to the teahouse and manage the accounts with peace of mind. The young master will arrange a female guard in the house to protect your safety. If someone bullies you, don't be afraid, protect yourself. Send someone back to report in time, and the young master will do it for you. Call the shots.”
Xiaoqing heard this and nodded with a smile. She was the fastest and best at learning arithmetic among the three.
When Xiao Changxi asked several people if they were willing to go to the Li Mansion, she cared about Qin Ming's life-saving grace and was unwilling to go. Xiao Changxi then arranged for her to manage the teahouse's accounts.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Qin Ming asked Qingwan and Xiao Changxi to see them off on his behalf. He sat down at his desk and wrote an experiment plan for cement and papermaking. He had decided that before the Chinese New Year, in addition to teaching children, he would focus on experiments on cement and paper.
