Chapter 678: The single seedling in the ground 7 (Second update)

After the ancestral house was built and Jian Jian's business expanded, Jian Jian bought some people and arranged for them to be janitors, cleaners, cooks and washers.

The girls in the family were accompanied by a little girl who ran errands, a stewardess from a wealthy family that he had sent to Beijing, Lanling, Suzhou and other places to teach them well.

It is necessary to read, read, and learn how to manage the house; at the same time, you can learn to play music, chess, calligraphy, and painting if you are interested in it; you must also be able to learn some secrets in the back house, big and small things in the outside world, and official business, so as to increase your knowledge.

Several aunts and uncles, as well as Ji's mother and other ladies, were simply assigned a nanny to run errands to relieve their boredom; teach them about housekeeping; arrange for the ladies to go to the theater if necessary; accompany them to do embroidery and play horse games

Flower cards, read the storybook to me; accompany the ladies to go out and socialize, and remind them of social etiquette.

The uncles, Ji's father and other gentlemen simply arranged for two followers, one who was good at martial arts could be a bodyguard, and the other who was good at writing could help with moves and legs.

The uncles are all very diligent. They often go out to help Jian Jian take care of the business and inspect the properties. It is just right to have two helpers and bodyguards around.

It's time for Mrs. Ji to take care of her old age. She doesn't go out much, so Jian Jian each assigned a servant girl to help with running errands, and they also assigned a small kitchen and a cook who was good at making herbal meals.

Of course, the three cousins ​​who are already married are not left behind. One is a nanny to teach the housekeepers and help run errands; the other is to help take care of the children; in addition, the four nieces are treated the same as the other cousins ​​in the family.

They were treated the same, with one maid and one grandma each; the two nephews were accompanied by two, one old and one young.

At first, it was difficult for the family to accept and adapt to it. They thought it was too luxurious and they couldn't take any time off.

But, who doesn’t live a good life?

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury!

What are you guys doing so busy all day long?

Isn’t it that what you want is to live a life of fine clothes and fine food, with clothes on hand and food on hand to open your mouth, and no fingers touching the spring water?

It’s no wonder that now that the good times have come and the dream has come true, you will still reject it. In just three or two days, you will get used to everything.

I no longer need to get angry when the rooster crows. I have been working in the fields all day long and can only go home after dark. I break a penny in half and spend it. I am planning this and that. I dare not buy clothes or make them. I don’t want to eat anything delicious.

Dare to eat but can't...

Now they can sleep until they wake up naturally, and do whatever they want; the food is cooked and delivered by the cook; the clothes are prepared and washed, and they can wear them when they bring them; there are servants cleaning the house and outside; everything is fine.

There is still someone to accompany you to relieve your boredom...

How wonderful!

They hope to get ahead easily and gain fame. Isn't this what they want to do to honor their ancestors?

Isn’t this what a person prays for?

Good food and clothing, peace and joy, well, he is already working hard.

After Jian Yi returned home, he immediately went to Ruyi Garden to visit the old man and his wife.

The old lady hugged Jian Yi and cried, "Oh, my darling, you are finally back."

"I've lost weight." The old man looked at Jian Yi eagerly and muttered.

The old couple were very happy to see their eldest grandson, who had not been seen for more than a month. They held Jian Yi's hand and exchanged greetings for a while. Within a moment, the uncles, aunts and sisters who were still at home also arrived.

After the whole family had a lively conversation, Jian Yan finally talked about his intention to become a teacher to Magistrate Zhang, and discussed the gifts to be given at the apprenticeship banquet half a month later, how to wear them, and other matters.

The next day, all the clan elders who had returned home after receiving a brief stay came to the door. They bluntly said that everything such as worshiping ancestors and holding a banquet were almost ready, and they would have to live in two days.

Therefore, Jian Jian, who had just returned home, had not yet had time to have a good time with his family, so he became busy again, writing invitations, preparing wedding gifts, worshiping ancestors, and entertaining guests at the three-day flowing water banquet. He was so busy that he became dizzy.

Fortunately, we have capable grandmothers in the family who are always willing to follow us. With their guidance and help, the uncles and aunts in the family are all very capable, very helpful and able to entertain guests.

Finally, the ancestor worship and banquet was over, and it was time to become a disciple again.

At the banquet, Jian Jian was introduced to many people by Magistrate Zhang. Jian Jian was generous, dignified, intelligent, and talented. His appearance also won the favor of the elders. The juniors treated her with special attention and praised her for a while.

It came like a tidal wave, and it was so beautiful that Magistrate Zhang was so pleased with himself that he drank several cups in a row.

Not to mention the old Ji family, both men and women, old and young, were all happy and proud.

After the apprenticeship banquet, Jian Yi was busy buying and replacing the connected fields with the clan leader. There were fifty acres of fertile land and one hundred acres of middle and lower-grade fields as family sacrificial fields. The surplus in the fields was used to start and maintain clan schools and support.

Reward the children of the clan for studying, provide aid to needy families in the clan, etc.

After completing the matter of offering sacrifices to the fields, the wedding of the fourth cousin and Gu Huixing was completed; then, at the request of the county magistrate and the county school, he went to the county school to talk; he participated in the formulation of new clan rules and the recruitment of clan teachers;

Went to Zhang Zhifu's house to receive the teacher's instruction together with Zhang Yongyong, the boss of Zhang, and got to know and analyze the big and small matters of reputation in the officialdom, learn how to run errands for the benefit of the people, control the subordinate officials, and participated in the wedding of the fifth cousin and Su Limin.

During this period, he would often bring his two brothers-in-law who were scholars and scholars back home to discuss knowledge with them, in the hope that they would win the imperial examination as soon as possible. The eldest brother-in-law, the second brother-in-law, and the third brother-in-law should not be left behind, and they would be arranged according to their personal interests and abilities.

When it comes to things, support them; go to the houses of several elder sisters' husbands as guests to support them.

The most important thing is to continue to help my cousins ​​look for handsome young men with good family traditions!

There was no way, five of the twelve cousins ​​were married, and there were four cousins ​​about the same age who were still in the boudoir, waiting to get engaged and get married.

Oh, I really don’t have a moment to spare!

On this day, after discussing the homework with Zhang Yongyong, the prefect Zhang, Zhang Yongyong was driven away, and the prefect Zhang seemed to have something to say.

The simple and interesting message asked: "Teacher, do you have anything to tell the students?"

Magistrate Zhang walked to Jian Yi's side and sat down where Zhang Yongyong had done. He waved his big hand to Jian Yi's big head. He looked up and down, left and right, and then smiled slowly.

Looking at his well-groomed, gentle and good disciple, a sense of pride arose spontaneously. Magistrate Zhang was so beautiful that the corners of his mouth and eyebrows fluttered.

"Young Master Yi, you are not young anymore. Your Majesty, your Majesty, is looking out for you. Is there anyone you like?"

After listening to the sound and knowing the meaning, when Magistrate Zhang started talking, it was easy to understand what was going on.

Ever since he passed the Simplified Chinese Examination, there have been many people in his family who came over to see him, inquire about information, and come to talk to him about being a matchmaker. However, they were all rejected by Simplified Chinese. When asked by his family, he only said that he would concentrate on his scientific examinations. In a few years, he would

Say it again.

The main reason is that I haven't found the right person yet.

After all, wealth is not the most important thing to Jian Yi, and he doesn't expect the wife family to bring her any help, but this person must be a good wife and mother in the subjective sense of this era.
Chapter completed!
