The third master is not a loser like the second master Bao who only knows how to hang out in the skirt team. The third master has won the top prize six times in a row.
If you can follow the third master and become his concubine, it will be regarded as a sparrow turning into a phoenix and climbing a high branch.
This was probably the only good news Lin Zhixiao got after being asked to come to Dongfu.
Then, he heard the third master say: "Lin Zhixiao, you don't have to worry about going out in this house, but there isn't much to do."
"During this period, I want you to observe carefully and see who is available in the house and who is not."
"You also need to recruit some available people. Soon, I will have something for you to do."
Hearing this, Lin Zhixiao's eyes immediately lit up.
As an old fox, how could he not understand what the third master said?
It turned out that the third master wanted him to come to the East Mansion because he wanted him to take over the entire East Mansion and be the chief steward of the East Mansion.
It seems that the third master has long disliked Lai Sheng, the big housekeeper here, and is planning to deal with Lai Sheng.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhixiao immediately became energetic.
He hurriedly said: "Yes, Third Master. I will obey Third Master's instructions."
Seeing that Lin Zhixiao understood what he said, Jia Huan smiled and said: "Okay, I have nothing to do here. You can go down and have a rest."
Lin Zhixiao and his wife left happily, while Du Xiaohong stayed in Ninglu Hall.
Jia Huan left Xiao Hong behind and said that it was not because he fell in love with Xiao Hong.
In fact, Xiaohong looks pretty good. In the book Red Mansions, when she saw Baoyu for the first time, Xiaohong looked like this in Baoyu’s eyes:
Wearing a few pieces of clothes that are not old, she has curly hair and a little girl on her arm. She has a long face, a slender figure, but is very pretty and clean.
The reason why Jia Huan kept Xiao Hong was because in The Red Mansion, she and Jia Yun achieved an extremely rare good marriage.
Jia Huan was not willing to break them up just because of his arrival.
At this moment, I don’t know if she has ever met Jia Yun and made a private commitment to Jia Yun for life.
If not, Jia Huan would have to help them pull the strings.
Unexpectedly, in this life, because Jia Huan became the head of the Ningguo Mansion, the Provincial Family Courtyard was built by the Ningguo Mansion alone, without the help of the Xi Mansion.
Therefore, Xiaohong was not assigned to clean the courtyard of Yihongyuan, so she never met Jiayun.
Now her family was invited by the Third Master of Dongfu, and they were also left in Ninglu Hall by the Third Master. This was naturally an unexpected surprise.
Xiaohong naturally had some thoughts.
After she stayed in Ninglu Hall, she first met with three girls, Qingwen, Caiyun and Xiao Jixiang.
At night, Jia Huan continued to teach the three girls how to read.
By this time, they had already learned the rhymes of Li Weng, and among them, Qingwen learned the fastest. Caiyun is the second best, and Xiao Jixiang is a scumbag.
She was yawning and her eyes were moving wildly. She must have gone on a errand, and she didn't know where her mind had gone.
Jia Huan had already noticed it and didn't bother to pay attention to her.
Teaching them to read and write is just a pastime in their free time. If you are willing to learn, he will teach more. If they don't want to learn, there is no reason to force them to learn.
When Xiaohong saw that the third master was so tolerant to the girl, Xiaohong felt even more happy, and she couldn't help but join in.
One night she tried to get close to Jia Huan in various ways to please Jia Huan.
It's a pity that Qingwen and Caiyun can't succeed.
And women are naturally sensitive to this kind of competition for favor.
The two of them joined forces to guard against Xiao Hong.
At this time, Jia Yun came to visit.
Jia Huan directly invited Jia Yun to the inner house to meet him, but did not meet him in the study.
Nobles from aristocratic families entertain guests in different places depending on their relationship.
Ordinary guests or distinguished guests who don't come and go often will be received in the main room, which is the living room.
Close friends are usually received in the study room.
If you have good family friends or juniors, you don't have to avoid taboos and can receive them directly in the inner house.
Jia Yun was directly invited into the inner house by Jia Huan, and his four maids naturally did not need to avoid it.
When Jia Yun was invited into the inner house, she naturally felt more and more happy.
He knew the rules, he kept his eyebrows low and his eyes were submissive, and he did not dare to look at the maid in the third master's room randomly.
After paying homage to the third master, Jia Yun gave a detailed report on what happened to the prince today.
When Jia Huan learned that Qiong Yu had left one day earlier and that the prince had also returned to the East Palace today, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
If you skip work, you will be caught directly!
I still don’t know how Prince Ming’er will react!
Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but have a headache.
For Jia Yun, the prince's affairs have come to an end for the time being.
Jia Huan told him: "Brother Yun, the matter on the prince's side has been settled. From now on, you can rest assured and watch the repair of the provincial palace."
"I've worked hard on you these past few days. You go back and have a good rest for a few days."
Jia Yun said quickly: "My nephew has never done anything. Besides, how can he find it hard to work for third uncle? Third uncle, just don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on the relatives' house. By the end of the New Year, it will be about Then it can all be built.”
"My nephew will not disturb my third uncle's rest. My nephew will leave."
Jia Huan nodded, and then told Xiao Hong: "Xiao Hong, go see Brother Yun off."
"Yes, Third Master."
After Xiaohong went out, Qingwen said angrily: "The third master has a good relationship again. His father is pretty, can talk, and can please the third master. He outshines us in everything."
"No matter what happens in the future, let this new person do it! We old people are not qualified to do these things."
Qingwen is so hot-tempered that she may have misunderstood her, and now she is sour and jealous again.
Jia Huan glared and said, "First of all, I gave you some advice and let you think through your words. After these days, you are sick again. Since you have made a mistake, you must be punished. Why don't you come to the family to serve me?" "
Qingwen was shy and annoyed, but charming as silk. She glanced at Jia Huan, walked over reluctantly, and lay on Jia Huan's knees.
After a family meal, Qingwen took a breath of cold air and went to the inner room in anger.
However, the previous jealousy was gone from his brows and eyes.
Although she didn't quite understand, she vaguely felt that the third master didn't seem to have that kind of intention towards the new Xiaohong.
Tonight, since Jia Yun arrived, Jia Huan has been secretly observing their reactions.
How could Jia Huan not notice Xiaohong's various attentiveness before?
He was afraid that a good marriage would be broken up because of himself, which would be his fault.
However, Jia Huan found that Xiao Hong was indeed smart.
Her various attentiveness did not receive any response from her, but she realized something.
After meeting Jia Yun today, looking at the two of them, they seemed to have a vague fondness for each other.
Judging from the situation, this pair of good marriages must not be able to escape.
