Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 288 Exceeding Expectations
Is that the case?It's strange that Zhang Lingxuan insists on asking Mother Jia to thoroughly check the account books and clean up all the old servants, but hasn't she already dismissed them once before?Is it useless?
Zhang Lingxuan snorted coldly: "At first, I also thought that after that incident, the people below should restrain themselves, but who knew it wasn't. You know, Rongguo Mansion's servants are already overcrowded, so I sent a wave When people go out, another wave of people comes in. The job is so little work, and the people are changed again, but the same virtue. They also have to thank me for sending away a group of people who have been occupying jobs all year round. What is their use today! So what if a new wave of people come in? It’s not just sitting on the mountain and watching tigers fight, killing people with swords, drawing wind to blow fire, standing on dry shore, pushing down oil bottles and not helping them, all of them are all hanging. Which one of the martial arts is easy to deal with?"

When Jia Min heard this, he also sighed: "No, I don't look like it anymore. If things go on like this, what should I do?"

The two sat in silence for a while, and Ling Xuan suddenly said, "Min'er, I have something to ask you, and you must take care of it."

"what's up?"

"You take this account book and ask Mrs. Lin to help me check the actual income of these farms and shops. Don't refuse, just listen to me. You know what your elder brother is like. I didn't expect He, what's more, if he is the most responsible, the mansion will not be like this. Besides, although I can entrust my brother to do this matter, but... you know, the Zhang family is only my natal family after all, and I After my father passed away, the elder brothers in the family had very little official positions, so it might be inconvenient to inquire. Only Mrs. Lin, who has a high official position, is a clean and capable person, and the old lady likes to trust him very much. If you really find out something, Only if you tell the old lady, can she listen to it, isn't it, Min'er?"

Jia Min knew Zhang Lingxuan's concerns and agreed with her words, but she said again: "Although my mother loves me, but I am now a member of the Lin family. I am afraid that it is inconvenient to meddle in the affairs of my mother's family..."

Zhang Lingxuan became anxious, and took Jia Min's hand: "Min'er, if you don't even agree, then no one will be able to investigate this matter. You are indeed a girl who has left the court, but your surname is Jia, and you have blood in your bones." Do you just have the heart to watch the Rongguo Mansion lose day by day with the blood of the Duke of the State?"

Jia Min can't write two characters in one stroke. Jia Min is the most affectionate and righteous person. Zhang Lingxuan's words hit seven inches, and Jia Min has no reason to refuse.

She picked up the account book with a serious expression on her face: "I'll go back and discuss it with the master."

After Jia Min left here, Wu Linzhu came out from behind the screen and asked with a worried look: "Madam, can I leave this matter to my aunt?"

Zhang Lingxuan smiled: "Don't look down on your aunt, in terms of intelligence, understanding of righteousness, her two elder brothers combined are not as good as her alone."

Wu Linzhu smiled and said, "What madam said is that the daughter-in-law is narrow-minded. Madam, let's tidy up and go to the old lady's side, don't waste the time."

Zhang Lingxuan nodded, and took Wu Linzhu to Jia Mu's room to ask Ann to serve her, and Jia Min drove home after Daiyu woke up, for nothing but the items in Zhang Lingxuan's account book .

When Lin Ruhai came home at night, Jia Min specially sent someone to invite him, and explained to him the meaning of his sister-in-law. Lin Ruhai said: "You don't need to investigate this matter to know that there must be tricks. Want to check it? It’s easy for me to check it, but I don’t know how to deal with it after I find it out? If I still indulge blindly, why should I bother with that?”

Jia Min smiled: "Master Rong Bing, I have figured out a solution to this matter, what do you think?"

As he said that, Jia Min stuck to Lin Ruhai's side. He didn't know what to say, and even Lin Ruhai smiled: "Since this is the case, it is still a good solution. It's just difficult for you. How did you come up with these things?"

Jia Min shook her head: "What's wrong with me, that's my own brother, don't I know him well?"

Brother?Is Jia Min talking about Jia Amnesty or Jia Zheng?But I can't talk about this matter here, only to see the breakdown in the following text.

Xue Pan is back.

Everyone in the Xue family was very happy, but looking at the people brought back by Xue Pan, the Xue Wang family was in trouble. My God, there are so many people, but where should they settle down?
It turned out that the purpose of Xue Pan's trip to Sichuan and Shu this time was to recruit as many craftsmen as possible who were familiar with Shu brocade and Shu embroidery.Needless to say, Widow Qiao's group of women were Xue Pan's first recruits.They are all orphans and widows, and they often do embroidery work under the arrangement of Widow Qiao, and they know the good name of the Xue family caravan.

Later, in order to dispel their worries, Xue Pan said that as long as they were willing to settle in the capital, they would not only be given a generous salary, but also a corresponding bonus according to the quantity and quality of the finished embroidery.Moreover, the Xue family will provide them with houses for free, and they can even bring their relatives with them. If the family is willing to come out to do work, the Xue family will also be responsible for arranging the work.

As a result, this first batch recruited the first NO.30 people.

In fact, with these NO.30 people, Xue Pan had already planned to come back.He didn't want too many people to know about the recruiting of the embroidered lady. If the local caring people made a fuss about the identities of Widow Qiao and the others, not only would people not be able to take them away, but more trouble would arise.

Later, Widow Qiao told Xue Pan that not only in their local area, but also in remote mountain villages, there are also some women who know this craft, but their families are worse than these widows.

Xue Pan dubiously went to the mountain village she mentioned.Sure enough, the living conditions in the mountain village were very difficult.The women here do physical work all the year round, and their physical fitness is so good that there is nothing to say. What's more rare is that there are six or seven of them. Because someone in the family works in a wealthy family and can afford embroidery cloth and thread, they also learned the craft of Shu embroidery. .

Although the things they embroider are not very delicate, they are still at the entry level.

After learning about it, Xue Pan's heart was clear. It is estimated that the widow Qiao had a kind heart and wanted to help these simple poor people.He just didn't know, and said the same treatment again. As a result, the six or seven families were all overjoyed, and they were willing to go with Xue Pan.

Therefore, the number of people brought back has far exceeded expectations, and the residence that Xue Wang's originally prepared for Xiuniang is obviously not enough.

These people did not enter the Xue family's mansion, but were temporarily settled in the greenhouse in Huaishuzhuang by Xue Pan, and most of them set up the suggested shacks to live there temporarily.
