When Liu Nian first came to the capital, he was actually quite nervous.
Dong Nuan asked him. After thinking for a while, he said, "I will listen to my employer's arrangements."
Liu Nian felt that there would be no problem if he followed Dong Nuan.
If someone can go from a peasant girl to a princess, I think she has great abilities.
Hearing what he said, Dong Nuan smiled: "Okay, let me arrange it first. If you have any ideas in the future, just tell me."
After finishing speaking, Dong Nuan seemed to have thought of something again. Dong Nuan only paused for a moment, and then continued: "You and Dong Tao, let's get along slowly and see. If you think it's suitable, pick a suitable time and put it together."
Make an appointment to get married. If you feel it's inappropriate, don't force it. Don't force it, let alone think that since I'm the boss, I must marry my sister. It's not necessary. When a couple becomes husband and wife, it's a lifelong matter. Don't force yourself to avoid regrets later.
.”
When Liu Nian heard this, he responded repeatedly.
In fact, he has a good impression of Dongtao. The Dongtao sisters who were slowly taken over by Dong Nuan are now much more well-behaved. After the Chinese New Year, Dong Nuan even specially found a nurturing aunt for the two sisters.
Not only teach etiquette, but also teach some principles of life and so on.
In short, if someone with experience guides them, they will not suffer any loss.
If you live in the capital in the future, you must pay attention to these things.
After the business was finished, several people chatted for a while. They were all acquaintances from the past, and there was nothing particularly strange about them. Everyone quickly reached the same place.
When talking about daily fun things, we can’t help but mention the Dong family.
Dong Nuan only knows the general situation of the Dong family now.
Dong Zhi's letter simply said that the eldest uncle's family was pretty good, the second uncle's family was a bit chaotic, the fourth uncle's family seemed low-key, and the fifth uncle's family was in a state of chaos.
However, Dianthus and the others have heard more, so they will bring it up.
The eldest uncle's family is actually pretty good. Although the man Dong Miao married is not very reliable, the eldest uncle's wife is not easy to get along with. She went to Dong Miao's mother-in-law's house to cause trouble a few times, but now the young couple can live a pretty good life.
It's just that there are inevitable bouts of turmoil and various calculations, which is normal.
It was Dong Miao who chose him at the beginning, but now she is clinging to it and not letting go. Whatever the cause is, the result will be the same.
She just wanted to wallow in the fire pit, and even the winter warmth couldn't save her.
Dong Xu is now keeping a much lower profile at the academy, and it is said that he has also begun to take on jobs such as copying books.
After all, other brothers will also start to get married one after another. After getting married, and having a wife, he will no longer be alone, and he will no longer be able to support his brother's education with all his heart and soul.
This year, if Dong Xu fails again, the brothers will prepare to separate the family and stop caring about him.
If Uncle Dong is willing, he can just continue to offer it.
This may have been what happened to Donglaowu back then, and the exposure gave them inspiration.
They don't want to offer offerings again and again and offer another Dong Lao Wu.
Dong Xu must also have a sense of urgency, so he started copying books in order to please his family and let them continue to provide for him.
After all, he didn't know whether he would win this year.
In the second uncle's family, the other brothers were fine, but Dong Xing and Liao Mingkun were making quite a fuss.
The original picture was of Liao Mingkun, a scholar who was good at studying. However, after Dong Xing got married, everything went crazy, and in the end Liao Mingkun's chance to study was gone.
I don’t know if Liao Mingkun has any objections, but the Liao family has taken good care of Liao Mingkun over the years, so that he will not forget his family after high school.
Now that the other party has been expelled from the county school, the clan members are quite dissatisfied with Dong Xing's daughter-in-law.
Seeing that something was wrong, Dongxing and Ernie hurriedly found a private school for Liao Mingkun to study again.
Because only the college examination was delayed last year, the county examination and prefectural examination were carried out normally.
Therefore, if Liao Mingkun wants to enter the county school again, he needs to give it a try next year.
After so many years of reading, you can imagine how depressed Liao Mingkun was when he had to start from scratch again.
After hearing this, Dong Nuan was quite satisfied.
Liao Mingkun always plotted against others, so when he met Er Bo Niang's family, he was considered to have met his opponent.
No matter how scheming he is, the second uncle's family will not accept this trick.
Dong Nuan never thought about it and deliberately took revenge on him.
But indirect revenge can be regarded as avenging the original owner.
At night, the three of them stayed at the house to rest.
Among the three people, one was his most capable man in the future, and the other two were confidants, so Dong Nuan did not send them to sleep in the servant's room, but to the guest room.
The next day, the weather was nice, Dong Nuan got up early, and after a set of boxing, we were ready to go to Zhuangzi.
Of course, I took Liu Nian to a preserved fruit shop on the way.
The shopkeeper of the Preserved Fruit Shop was arranged by the Cao Mansion, and Dong Nuan never paid much attention to it.
As long as she can do things honestly, she won't interfere much else.
When he saw Dong Nuan coming, the shopkeeper was stunned for a moment. Fortunately, there was no business in the morning, so he greeted her with a smile.
The shopkeeper has a very good impression of Dong Nuan.
After all, my boss doesn’t come often. I only see him every month when he submits the accounts, and he’s particularly generous when he seals the deal at the end of the year.
Now that the shopkeeper saw the warm winter, he couldn't help but feel happy and wanted to laugh.
It's rare to see a boss like this who does a lot of work with less money. Even if he worked for the Cao Mansion in the past, he didn't have such freedom and money.
Therefore, when the winter warms up, he needs to be coaxed.
"This is Liu Nian. I will study with you first. After I think about it, I will arrange for him to practice in other shops first. You should put more thought into it." Dong Nuan sent Liu Nian here to let the shopkeeper.
Take him with you more often.
With a dedicated and experienced shopkeeper taking care of him, Liu Nian can start working early so that he can do things for Dongnuan earlier.
It’s warm in winter and I don’t think it’s bad to have too many shops. One candied fruit is obviously not enough, so you can build another spice shop.
Liu Nian met the shopkeeper, and Dong Nuan specially explained it. Naturally, the shopkeeper responded well.
After arranging for him, Dong Nuan took Shi Zhu and Shi Qing to Zhuangzi.
When they arrived, looking at Zhuangzi who could not see the end, the two of them were amazed.
"So big?"
"That's right, there's no end in sight!"
…
"Come on, let's take the donkey cart to the fruit forest area. There is a shortage of people there, so Shi Qing will go there and be the manager first." Dong Nuan directly motioned the two people to get on the donkey cart, and then went to the fruit forest area.
There are some early-fruiting trees over there that have already produced small fruits.
Some of them have just bloomed now, and wild bees are quietly pollinating the flowers.
Seeing Dong Nuan approaching, the stewards who were busy came over to see her.
Dong Nuan introduced Shi Qing to them, and everyone greeted each other. Dong Nuan looked at them for a while, and then left with Shi Qing.
The stewards were not stupid either. It seemed that the person was sent by Dong Nuan himself, so he was probably a confidant, so they were very polite to Shi Qing.
Although Shi Qing looks young, he is experienced in handling matters and is good at winning people's hearts, so in less than half a day, the several managers got along well with each other.
