It's the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye, and today is the day when brother and sister Xu Dongbei come back.
At this time, three months have passed since Xu Erniang was banned.
It has been two and a half months since Wang Pingping went into retreat to conduct research.
It has been half a month since Xu Dalang entered the mountains for training.
The only active members of the family are Xu Yue and Xu Qingyang, father and daughter.
Since settling down, the family of five seems to have resumed the subtle way of getting along as before.
Xu Qingyang is responsible for external relations and smoothing relations. In just three months, he has inspected all the shops outside Xuzhuang.
And he also saw all the people who should be seen in Yun City.
Now the local forces in Yuncheng have already known that Xu Zhuang sent new people to take over the Xu family's forces in Yuncheng.
Xu Yue is mainly responsible for the personnel management in the village. She handles the family's food, drink, income, personnel transfer, and housekeeping chores in an orderly manner.
At the same time, I still have free time to research and develop new food, and feed my personal guard Xia Ji until he reaches the golden elixir level.
Now in the village, what the head of the family, Xu Qingyang, says may not necessarily be of any use to the third lady. The servants only know that the madam, the second lady, and the eldest young master have no regard for the affairs inside and outside the village. The third lady takes care of everything.
The third lady is young, but I didn't expect that she has a unique style in personnel management.
The third lady will never take corporal punishment lightly, nor does she like to withhold wages.
Anyone who commits a crime will, depending on the seriousness of the case, be given a chance to make meritorious deeds, or be directly expelled from the manor.
At first, the sons and daughters of the family who had lived here for generations got together and wanted to fight against the authority of the third lady.
Unexpectedly, in the face of absolute strength, these are all illusions.
The half-step golden elixir guard Xia Ji next to the third lady turned out to be a ruthless character. Under the third lady's instruction, he opened the knots of the rope one by one and broke them one by one.
After the dismissal of fifteen stewards who had been promoted due to their birth, no one in Xuzhuang dared to disagree with the third lady.
Xu Yue cleaned up all the tangled old relationships in the manor.
He also recruited dozens of newcomers from several villages in the countryside and poor descendants of the Xu family to give the manor, which was controlled by the so-called old man, a new look.
Xu Qingyang was happy about this. In this big family, the only one he could count on was his young mother.
The seemingly gentle and gentle person is actually the most popular manor owner.
There is no one in Xuzhuang who doesn't like the Third Miss. Be tolerant at the bottom, respectful at the top, and follow rules and regulations. As long as you act according to the rules and regulations set by the Third Miss, you can rise step by step, increase your salary, and improve your cultivation level.
The people in Xu Zhuang like to work in the third lady's house the most, because those who work there can receive a cup of five elements spiritual pulp every day, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, no matter what spiritual roots you have, after drinking it and keeping it, you can get one.
Cutting power.
However, Miss Third also said that the assistants around you are still assistants. If you want to become stronger, you have to look at yourself. You must practice morning and evening classes every day and you must not fall behind.
Yes, the third lady is still concerned about the strength of the servants. She does not think that the servants do not need to cultivate.
Instead, they are encouraged to practice more and improve their strength.
Even if someone wants to leave the Xu family after their cultivation level is improved, she will not stop them.
Not only did they not stop me, but they also gave me a settling-in allowance and showed great care.
In the second month after the third lady came to Xuzhuang, she reorganized the Xu clan science and opened courses on elixirs, formations, talismans, weapon refining, and beast control.
Anyone with high or low status and spiritual roots can enroll in the school for free.
Lu Huana always remembered what her master said at the opening ceremony that day.
"Every descendant of our Xu family should study for the rise of our Xu family, and study for the prosperity of our Xu family. No matter how hard it is, we should not suffer the children, and no matter how poor we are, we should not deprive ourselves of education!"
Every time I think about this sentence, Lu Huana's heart can't stop surging violently.
She clapped so hard that her hands were numb from clapping and she couldn't express her excitement.
「
Third Miss, you are my god!" Lu Huana knelt on one knee and shouted admiringly to her master Xu Yueru.
Xu Yue finally figured out how to manipulate people's hearts.
After Xu Qingyang saw off Young Master Yuncheng who came to congratulate him, he set off to Mingyue Pavilion.
Xu Yue is cooking, preparing dishes for her two nephews who will be returning home today.
Xia Ji sat on the roof. The cold winter wind posed no threat to the monks. She absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth without any distractions.
Lu Huana, wearing a mask on her face and gloves on her hands, was standing next to her master handing her the condiments. After Xu Yue's patient training, the assistant used it very well.
Now Lu Huana is no longer the little maid who couldn't even write clearly. She can not only recite the periodic table of the five elements in the world of immortality written by Xu Yue, but also learned how to chop, chop and stir-fry.
The master and servant cooperated tacitly, and soon a pot of "fish leaping over the dragon's gate" soup, full of aroma and full of spiritual power, was ready.
Wait for the two little guys to get home, light up the alchemy stove, add some garnishes, and you will have a delicious hot pot.
Xia Ji on the roof smelled the fragrance and couldn't help opening his eyes from practicing.
Xu Qingyang happened to approach, and the two looked at each other. In just three months, the head of the family had advanced from the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building.
Such rapid progress is all due to her master's daily feeding.
Fortunately, the Xu family is such a rich family, otherwise ordinary people would not be able to find those precious flowers, herbs, elixirs, fairies and strange beasts.
As for her master himself, his cultivation level was abnormally not increasing at all.
However, as long as she is here, the gangsters will never even get close to her master!
Xia Ji flew down from the roof, stopped in front of Xu Qingyang, and bowed slightly, "Master of the family!"
Xu Qingyang nodded and wanted to pass her to the kitchen, but unexpectedly an arm came across her. Xia Ji apologized and said softly:
"My master, please forgive me. When the master is in the kitchen, he is most afraid of being disturbed. Please wait a moment, and my subordinate will inform you first."
Xu Qingyang's face darkened, but he was shocked in his heart. How long had it been before the young lady actually captured someone?
I still remember that last time in the ancestral land, Xia Ji and Liandong both listened to him, the head of the family.
Xu Yue had already heard the noise outside, shook off the water stains on her hands, took off her apron and walked out. When she saw it was her father, she called out in surprise: "Dad, have you finished meeting the guests?"
Xu Qingyang glanced at Xia Ji. Xia Ji looked at Xu Yue first, and after getting the owner's signal, he flew back to the roof and let the owner in.
If it weren't for the face of the family leader, Xu Qingyang could hardly help but roll his eyes at Xia Ji.
He stepped forward and sighed: "Not yet. The New Year is approaching, and there are strong New Year customs here in Yuncheng. There are still a few guests to meet in the afternoon."
"I want to ask you, if you have time, go to Yuncheng to pick up the Northeast Peace Plain."
Although he had previously sent people to wait at the foot of Xingmen Mountain, he thought that his two grandsons must be looking forward to seeing their families in Cloud City as soon as they fly.
