Jia Cong took Ping'er back to his small courtyard in the East Road Courtyard.
This place is too simple. Although there is a place to live, no preparations have been made in advance. It is better to go to your own big house, where the facilities are complete, and everyone is still waiting for news about you.
"Third Young Master, you are back. Hey, Sister Ping'er is here too."
"Well, Sister Ping'er will be on our side from now on. You must be obedient from now on!"
"Ah! Is it true, Master?"
"Of course it's true. Everyone has brought it. How can it be fake?"
"Great, will Sister Ping'er stay here tonight?"
"We're not even ready here. Let's go to the new house together tonight. I guess they're still waiting for news over there?"
Ping'er said helplessly: "Third Master, you just brought me here and haven't you packed up my things yet?"
"There's no rush, just come back and pack up when you have time. Just bring your underwear with you, and I'll give you new ones for the rest. There's nothing missing over there. Come on, we'll be there right away."
Seeing what he said, Ping'er had no choice but to let him go.
The three of them left the East Road Courtyard and soon arrived at their own large courtyard.
The housekeeper Zhang Fu was still waiting for news. When he saw Jia Cong back, he breathed a sigh of relief and came up to him and asked, "Third Master, is everything okay?"
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's okay. This matter is over."
After Zhang Fu heard this, he let go of his worries and said with a smile on his face: "Then I would like to congratulate the third master."
"Steward Zhang, this is Sister Ping'er. From now on, I will be in charge of the entire Jia Mansion. If you have any matters in the future, you can report directly to her for instructions."
Butler Zhang cupped his hands and said, "I know Third Master, I have met Miss Ping."
Ping'er nodded and said, "Hello, Butler Zhang."
The three of them returned to the backyard and were greeted by Yanhong and Qingwen.
Qingwen asked anxiously: "Third Master, why did you come back just now? You are so worried about us. How did that happen?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "From now on, just put your hearts in your stomach. This is our home. No one dares to use their brains anymore."
Qingwen shouted happily: "Great, I have been on tenterhooks this afternoon and evening."
Seeing Qingwen's happy look, Jia Cong felt very happy. The little girl has already called this place her home.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Yanhong, and this is Qingwen, who is responsible for taking care of the backyard. This is Yueya, and this is sister Ping'er. From now on, sister Ping'er will help me manage the entire Jia Mansion. You all listen to Ping'er. My sister’s.”
Yanhong and Qingwen stepped forward and saluted: "I have met Sister Ping'er. If you have anything to do in the future, just ask me."
When Ping'er saw that Jia Cong really asked her to manage the entire little Jia Mansion, she was very happy and stretched out her hand to help the two of them up.
"We are all sisters, there is no need to be so polite, just remember to do things for me wholeheartedly."
Jia Cong explained to a few people in detail what happened in the afternoon and the personnel changes. Everyone was amazed after hearing this, and there was also a slight change in the eyes of Jia Cong.
She asked Yan Hong to arrange rooms for Ping'er and Yue Ya, and after packing their bedding, they returned to the lobby together.
These four people are currently our own people. The only ones who can really do things are Ping'er and Yanhong. Qingwen and Yueya are younger and more playful.
While everyone was here, the first family meeting was held.
"From today on, the four of you are my family and my right-hand men. We have a small family and relatively few things to do. Our source of income is a farm with 6,000 acres of land and a grocery store. It’s barely enough for now. The first thing we have to do next is make money by making soap.”
Ping'er asked doubtfully: "Third Master, there are many soap sellers on the market now. Can this thing make money?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "What we are making is a new type of soap. It is much easier to use than the current soap. I have developed the formula. When the materials are ready tomorrow, we will make a batch first and let you try the effect. , this matter will be kept secret for the time being.”
Yan Hong nodded and said: "Third Master, I have already prepared the yard you mentioned. I have arranged for six maids and women to go there and be responsible for making soap. If there are not enough people, I will transfer them from elsewhere."
This Yanhong is very reliable in doing things, and everything is arranged in an orderly manner.
"One more thing. In three days, I will be hosting a banquet for several ladies from the Rongguo Mansion. These are some of their tastes and preferences. You can prepare them in the next few days."
Jia Cong took out a list from his arms and handed it to Ping'er beside him. Now that he's here, let's start taking care of things.
Ping'er took it, took a look, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Third Master, this matter will be done beautifully."
For Ping'er, this kind of trivial matter is a piece of cake. Leave it to her and don't have to worry about it.
"That's all for now. If you have nothing to do, go and rest early. It's been quite tiring these past few days. I'll take you around tomorrow."
Everyone left one after another. Jia Cong originally wanted to read a book, but the light was too bad and hurt his eyes, so he might as well forget it.
Sitting on the chair, thinking about the coal business, I gradually felt a little sleepy, so I got up and walked to the bedroom.
Her bedroom is in the innermost room, and the outer room is a blue gauze cupboard, which is usually used by maids. Today Yan Hong lives here. When she sees Jia Cong come in, she gets up and leads him to the inner room.
She took off his boots, washed his feet, took off his clothes, lifted the quilt, and let him get in.
"Hey! Why is there someone else under the covers?"
As soon as Jia Cong got into bed, he felt warm and not cold at all. He reached out and touched it, and there was a little person next to him.
Yan Hong covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Qingwen is warming your bed. She must have fallen asleep. I'll wake her up right now."
Jia Cong quickly stopped her and said with a smile: "Don't call her, just let her sleep here, so as not to get cold again when she wakes up. It's still warm if we two sleep together."
Yanhong smiled, stretched out her hand to cover them with quilts, blew out the candles, and took the basin to the outside. After a while, she blew out the candles and the whole room suddenly became dark.
Hearing Qingwen's rapid breathing, the little girl probably woke up. She was just shy and embarrassed to speak out, so she could only lie down and pretend to sleep.
A smirk appeared on Jia Cong's face. Thinking of teasing her, he turned sideways and stretched out his arms to hug her. He felt that the little person in his arms was warm all over, his body was tense, and his breathing became more rapid.
The rich people in this era are really good at enjoying happiness, but it's a pity that I am still too young and can't do anything.
Feeling Qingwen huddled in his arms, not daring to move. She was so nervous that she patted her back and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, sleep peacefully."
This sentence really had an effect. The little man slowly relaxed, twisted his body a few times, and changed into a more comfortable position without moving.
After a while, she heard even breathing, and the little girl fell asleep soundly. It seemed that she was very tired these past few days. The key was that she felt uneasy.
Jia Cong was really tired today. He kept jumping up and down. He gradually became sleepy, closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
