A small motorcade slowly drove out of the south gate of Shenjing City and drove south along the avenue.
A voice as clear and clear as an oriole sounded from the carriage.
"Third Master, have we left Shenjing City? How far are we from Zhuangzi?"
Jia Cong was sitting in the carriage, looking at the excited little girl beside him, like a bird out of its cage, and couldn't help but smile: "Qingwen, our Zhuangzi is about thirty miles away from the city of Shenjing. You know thirty miles How far is it?"
Yueya and Xiaohong shook their heads and said, "Third Master, this is our first time out of the capital city. How do we know how far thirty miles is?"
Jia Cong knew clearly in his heart that a little girl like Yue Ya had almost no chance to leave Jia's house, so how could she know this.
Because her parents have a higher status, Xiaohong may be able to leave Rongguo Mansion and wander around the capital, but it is almost impossible to get out of Shenjing City.
Not to mention them, even the young ladies in Jia's family found it not that easy to get out.
Qingwen said excitedly: "Third Master, I know that when I was fleeing from famine, I followed my cousin and walked hundreds of miles and many days before finally arriving at Shenjing City."
Qingwen was lucky enough to be taken all the way to this place by her cousin. I don't know if her cousin was really righteous or if she had other ideas.
In any case, her cousin saved her life and owed her a huge favor.
Jia Cong nodded and said: "For these thirty miles, if we take a carriage, it will take us nearly an hour to reach our village. The main reason is that this road is too difficult to walk, otherwise we can go faster. "
"Ah, it still takes so long? Third Master, is it fun in the village?"
Xiao Hong blinked her beautiful little eyes and asked curiously.
This girl has lived in the Rongguo Mansion since she was a child, and has never seen Zhuangzi.
"How should I put it? The farm and the mansion are two completely different life styles. To put it simply, one is the life of the poor and the other is the life of the rich. Next, we will live well in the farm Over time, you will slowly understand it yourself."
The little girls were very excited when they came out once in a while, chattering non-stop along the way.
On this trip, Jia Cong brought Qingwen, Xiaohong, Yueya, three maids, two women, a cook and a helper, food, clothing, and supplies, and he pulled two large carts. .
In addition, veteran Zhang Dakui, housekeeper Zhang Fu, Wang Cai and Tie Zhu, and six guards accompanied him for protection.
Yanhong needs to look at the soap workshop and the back house, unable to leave.
Ping'er also had to stay and look after the house. After all, Ping'er was familiar with the Jia family. If something happened, it would be better to come to the house for help.
After he arrives at the farm, Zhang Fu will go back by himself. The focus is to look at the grocery store. This time he will follow, just to take care of things on the way.
Without further ado, at the end of the day, the motorcade finally entered the villa.
Under the guidance of Zhang Fu and Zhuang Tou, the four carriages drove directly into the large three-entry courtyard.
Before leaving last time, Jia Cong ordered the housekeeper and the head of the village to tidy up and clean the large courtyard with three entrances. He would come to live there for a while.
Naturally, Zhuangtou did not dare to neglect, so he immediately found a group of people from the village and began to clean up the entire courtyard. It only took a few days to complete the cleaning. He also found a few pretty girls from the village and arranged them in the courtyard. Act as a maid.
Jia Cong got off the carriage and asked Zhang Fu to lead Wangcai, and arranged Zhang Dakui and the accompanying guards in the front yard, where they would live here from now on.
He took Qingwen, Xiaohong, Yueya, and the maidservant who was following him, led two carriages, and went to the two courtyards at the back.
Let Xiaohong be the general manager of the backyard, leading a group of maids and women to check and clean again, arrange everyone's rooms, and organize the things they brought.
The kitchen was also taken over by the cook who was brought in. The original chef did not drive away, but stayed with him. When you select qualified warriors, you will definitely have to take care of food and housing. It will be easier if there are more people.
In the front yard, Jia Cong decided to hire an officer to manage it himself, and let Wangcai be responsible for running errands and delivering orders, serving as his own microphone and messenger.
Qingwen was very dissatisfied with Xiaohong being the general manager, and even went to Jia Cong to seek justice.
"Third Master, I should have followed you earlier than Xiaohong. Why do you want her to be the manager and not me?"
Jia Cong smiled bitterly and shook his head. His temper really hasn't changed, it's still the same.
"Qingwen, it's not that I prefer Xiao Hong. The key is that you are illiterate. This general manager needs to be in charge of the daily necessities of sixty or seventy people, and he has to have people purchase and pay for them at any time. You can't do these things. You think you can blame me for this? ?"
After hearing this, Qingwen stopped talking. After a while, she raised her head and said, "Okay, let's forget about it. Third Master, please teach me more words during this time in the villa. I also want to be capable." Help you with things."
I must be very busy during this period, so I don't have time to teach her how to read. This girl is really annoying. Fortunately, I was prepared and took out the reading cards that Xichun made for me a few days ago.
The pictures and words are vivid and easy to remember. It is definitely an artifact for word recognition.
"Qingwen, this is a reading card I specially prepared for you. With it, you will soon learn to read. Do you like it?"
When Qingwen heard that this was specially prepared for herself, she immediately became happy and took it and looked at it carefully.
"Third Master, I know all the things painted on this. How do I use this?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Look at this tiger, the character below is the tiger of tiger. The picture on the top of this picture is a bowl, and the word below is pronounced bowl. The picture of this picture is a sheep, and the word below is pronounced sheep. You Let’s see if it’s easier to remember this way.”
Qingwen said happily: "In this case, I know all these words. I just need to remember them all. This is indeed much easier to remember. Thank you, Third Master."
"Not only do you have to remember, you also have to be able to write. While you are still young, you should study more when you have time."
"I understand, Third Master."
Qingwen got the reading cards and was in a good mood. She collected all the cards and went back to her room.
After sending Qingwen away, I went to the front yard to have a look and found that everyone had already settled down.
We gathered these people in the front yard together, held a simple meeting, and made some personnel arrangements.
"Tie Zhu, you are in charge of the six of them. From now on, you will be their captain. You will be responsible for their daily exercises and tests. You will also record the test data and report to me every day."
Tie Zhu stood up, patted his chest, and shouted loudly: "Please rest assured, Third Master, and promise to complete the task."
"Wangcai, during this time, you will be responsible for the chores in the front yard and conveying my orders. Military control will be implemented in the front yard. Later, I will tell you in detail what to do."
Wangcai was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that a good thing would happen to him. He suddenly became the manager and happily replied: "Yes, Third Master, I will definitely do a good job."
