Chapter 164 One or two trivial matters in Ningguo Mansion (1/10)

Ningguo Mansion, Dengxian Pavilion, study room.

After chatting with Xichun for a while, seeing that the little girl was really dependent on her, Jia Huan couldn't bear to leave her and do other things.

So throughout the afternoon, I was either instructing Xichun to draw or teaching her to write, teaching her little by little, and telling a few jokes from time to time to make the little girl laugh, which made Xichun laugh so hard that her stomach hurt.

It was not until the evening that Jia Huan asked Xichun to take a good rest, went to the kitchen to cook a few dishes, and happily finished supper, and then carried Xichun, who couldn't help but fall asleep, back to the room.

Xichun's yard.

This yard is not far from where Qin Keqing lives, but the yard specifications, antiques, flowers and plants are all top-quality. Many things are not presented even by the arrogant and extravagant Jia Zhen.

However, after Xichun arrived at Ningguo Mansion, Jia Huan directly ordered Lin Zhixiao to open the Zhonggong Warehouse and take out all the rarest treasures.

And they also asked Youshi and Qin Keqing to help decorate it. It can be said that the most luxurious decoration of the entire Ningguo Mansion is not Tianxiang Tower, nor Youshi's residence, nor Jia Huan's Dengxian Pavilion, but Xichun's courtyard.

Of course, because any item placed inside is priceless, a few good-skilled servants were specially arranged to guard outside the yard.

As for the yard, there were four mothers taking care of them, and as many as ten maids, Jia Huan was considered inside and out.

Of course, Xichun, who was still young, did not realize how much effort Jia Huan had spent on this yard, but she could feel that others were looking at enviously, and she understood even more that the third brother was really good to her.

This leads to almost always staying in the fairy pavilion as long as Xichun is nothing. If Jia Huan is not free, she will play with little maids such as Xiao Jixiang or Nuaner Yingying.

But as long as Jia Huan has time, she can stay in Jia Huan's arms all day, then show a sweet smile, and listen happily to her third brother making her laugh.

He gently carried Xichun to the bed, then pulled the quilt to cover her. Jia Huan smiled and said to the young wife beside him, "Thank you for your hard work, you have taken good care of the fourth sister, I am very satisfied with the third master."

"Oh, I don't dare to be the third master to praise it. These are what we should do. The fourth lady is very well-behaved and sensible, and is good to us. We are all very worry-free.

Others always envy us for taking care of the fourth lady. Not only does it work easily, but it also has a good monthly income. From time to time, the third master sent rewards, and others were even more envious.

Even the heads of our family are grateful to the third master for their kindness!" The young wife replied with a chuckling.

Jia Huan nodded, then looked at the furnishings around and found that there was no dust on it. He looked at the steaming tea on the table. He knew that this was not known when Xichun would come back, so he prepared it once every once in a while.

Everything inside and out was very decent and clean, tidy. Jia Huan smiled and said, "Well, it's really good, but you should pay more attention to it at night. The lights in the house should not be too bright or too dark.

If the fourth sister wakes up and the whole room is dark, she will be scared, so you will be a little tired and come in and check it out every once in a while. Be sure not to leave the water!"

"Don't worry, Master Third, we can save all these. Every hour, we will come in and check them one by one." The young wife replied quickly, listening to Jia Huan's instructions.

Upon hearing this, Jia Huan saw that there was indeed nothing wrong, so he slowly got up and walked outside.

It was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening when I returned to Dengxian Pavilion.

At this time, Caixia and Qingwen were sitting under the oil lamp to embroider, while Xiao Jixiang was bored and played cards with Nuan'er Yingying. When they saw Jia Huan coming in, everyone put down their things and shouted happily: "Oh, the third master is back!"

Seeing the maids of all sizes approaching him, Jia Huan couldn't help but sigh that this evil old society was so evil that he liked him.

After sitting down, Qingwen brought the tea over. After taking a sip of the tea slowly, Jia Huan looked at Caixia and Qingwen with a little blood in her eyes, and smiled and said, "If you want to embroider, you can do it again during the day."

Although there are oil lamps at night, the light is not very good and it can easily hurt your eyes.

This is a big event for a lifetime. You can’t be a girl under the oil lamp anymore!”

Listening to his dissuasion, Qingwen and Caixia tapped their heads gently, their beautiful eyes flashed, and their big eyes were like stars in the night, tender as water.

Since Qiuwei had just finished the exam, Jia Huan had nothing to do. He also wanted to study, so he chatted with a few maids for a while. Knowing that Zi Shi had just passed, he washed and went to bed.

Early the next morning, just after the exercise, Lin Zhixiao quickly walked in, quietly waiting for Jia Huan to finish washing, and then stood up and said respectfully: "Third Master, the previous iron stove has been built, and the other 17,000 were entrusted by the shopkeeper Chen of the Hui Chamber of Commerce to create another 17,000, and now all are placed in the house where Lai Jiao was previously.

In addition, in the Datong Prefecture, the prefect of the Datong Prefecture bought two carbonite mines and in the north of Shenjing City, they bought a carbonite mine factory that was abandoned due to poor management, and spent 82,300 taels of silver.

There was another 17,000 taels of silver owed. At that time, I talked with Manager Chen about the final payment in early September this year, and now I only need to pay in ten days."

Listening to Lin Zhixiao's report, Jia Huan nodded and proposed to go out to specialize in coal business with 100,000 taels of silver, which was almost spent.

"Well, it's not bad. You've done so well in just a few months.

Don’t worry about money. When the time comes, the money you should pay to the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce is as much as possible. Soon, there will be 100,000 taels of silver sent to the West Mansion. At that time, you will use it to continue to expand production, especially in the northwest and northeast regions. Winter is coming, and the iron stove can be almost on the sales schedule.

The price of one tael of silver is enough, so just buy five taels of silver. The price of charcoal is half as high as charcoal.

As for sales, you can put two iron stoves in street shops in the four districts of Shenjing, southeast, west and north, and burn a few pots of tea.

In addition, I found some idle people in the Shenjing City to popularize them the use of iron stoves, let them sell them from door to door, give them commissions, sell an iron stove, and give them ten copper coins..."

Jia Huan informed Lin Zhixiao one by one during the entire sales process, including after-sales service, and all of them were instilled.

On the opposite side, Lin Zhixiao barely wrote it down, and felt very impatient, but Jia Huan's face was normal, as if everything was under control, and he was even more impressed, so he said respectfully: "Don't worry, Third Master, I'll go down and arrange it later."

"Well, in addition, after Qiuwei's results were released, I will go to Yangzhou. The time for my return is uncertain. At that time, I will leave the affairs of all and big in the mansion to you!" Jia Huan said again.

The itinerary to go to Yangzhou has been decided. Although he has not left yet, he can tell Lin Zhixiao in advance, which will make him feel prepared.

On the opposite side, Lin Zhixiao felt a little panicked when he heard this. Although he was a little capable, he had never managed the huge Ningguo Mansion independently. Whenever he had something to decide on, he would come to ask Jia Huan for advice.

"Third Master, this..."
