Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 249 Lin Cunyi returns to Beijing

Qiu Shuang and Zeng quickly learned that Lin Cunyi and his wife were back, so they also rushed to the side door.

After passing through a few small alleys, they met Lin Cunyi head-on.

"I've met the second brother and the second sister-in-law!" Zeng and Qiu Shuang immediately saluted Lin Cunyi and his wife.

"Hey, thank you for your hard work. I really didn't know that Xiao Wu led the army to fight. If I had known, I would have come back a long time ago. Oh! By the way, Qiu Shuang, let me introduce these people to you!" Lin Cunyi began as he spoke. Introducing Qiu Shuang!

Qiu Shuang learned that they were Lin Cunde's third cousin and also saluted them.

Wang Chenghai and his wife also heard Lin Cunyi and his wife say on the way that Qiu Shuang can manage things in the mansion, and is better than all the servants, including Lin Cunyi. Lin Cunyi may not be able to make decisions about some things in the mansion, but Qiu Shuang can!

Mrs. Zeng also gave them gifts!

Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi were also strangers to Mrs. Zeng because they came to the capital not long after Lin Cunli got married. However, they still knew Mrs. Zeng and came to see Qiu Shuang and Mrs. Zeng!

Qiu Shuang led them to the front yard, but she didn't dare to take them to the living room!

Just go through the path next to the front yard, pass through the front yard, and enter the east and west yards!

Lin Cunde was not in the mansion. No one else was allowed to enter the living room and rooms in the front yard. Only servants were allowed to go in and clean. Moreover, only Qiu Shuang could go to all areas of the front yard!

Even if Wang Zhi comes over, he can only drink tea in the west wing. He makes tea there alone. Wang Zhi cannot enter Lin Cunde's study!

However, when they came, Qiu Shuang couldn't arrange it, so she had to let Lin Cunyi make the arrangements. Qiu Shuang just mobilized supplies in the warehouse and sent them some daily necessities, including tea tables, tea sets, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, etc.!

After Lin Cunyi settled them down, he found Yang Ergou and Yang Sangou. The two of them are now in charge of the government and are not in charge, but because Grandpa Yang is here, Lin Cunde and Lin Cunyi trust them and train them!

Lin Cunyi called Wang Chenghai and introduced them to each other. Then he sat down to make tea and asked about what happened in the mansion during this time!

At the same time, he was also inquiring about Lin Cunde!

Wang Chenghai sat quietly and listened. He knew that he also needed to learn how to manage the mansion!

After listening to this, Lin Cunyi suddenly realized that he had not seen Grandpa Yang today, so he asked, "Where is Grandpa Yang?"

"Hey, my dad goes to the East City Gate every day. He walks there every day, just looking forward to the Earl's return. If the city gate is not closed, he won't come back!" Yang Ergou said with a sigh. His own father was also helpless!

"You guys, please keep an eye on it. Have you sent someone to follow you? Let me tell you, if Grandpa Yang falls and gets hurt, both of your brothers will be scolded!" Lin Cunyi pointed at the two brothers and scolded them. got up.

Yang Ergou looked at Lin Cunyi with a face about to cry and said: "I sent, and Mrs. Qiu Shuang also sent, but he didn't want it. He said there were still things to do in the house, why did you follow him? He also scolded my two brothers. How can a person who doesn't know how to manage a mansion ask people to follow him and stop doing the work at home! There's nothing I can do about it. If I talk too much, I'll get beaten!"

"Hey, Grandpa Yang is worried about Xiao Wu. You also know that Xiao Wu was brought up by him in his arms. Now that he is going to war, how can he rest assured?" Lin Cunyi sighed. Wang Chenghai heard it and took note of it. heart.

"Well, no, during this period, my father couldn't eat well. He was talking about the young master, saying that the young master is afraid of the heat in such a hot day, but what should be done! The young master is kind-hearted, and now he is commanding the war. I see So many people have died, are you scared? Hey!" Yang Ergou said with a sigh.

"Starting tomorrow, I will send someone to follow me. I will go and tell Grandpa Yang that if something happens to Grandpa Yang, just look at it. I will be scolded. Maybe Xiao Wu will take care of his subordinates!" Lin Cunyi stared at their brothers. The two said, and the two of them nodded.

Then Lin Cunde asked Yang Ergou and his wife to introduce some things in the house to Wang Chenghai, while Lin Cunyi said beside him.

Lin Cunyi has to manage external affairs and will soon have to collect rent. Lin Cunyi's shops also need to collect money!

In addition, Lin Cunde needs to give gifts when he is outside. There are some gift-giving matters that Lin Cunde doesn't know about. For example, those children of honorable families need gifts when they are one month old, a hundred days old, one year old, ten years old, or crowned! It is impossible for Lin Cunde to know everything about these things, but Lin Cunyi must know, otherwise, it would be rude.

In addition, whenever Lin Cuunde needs to meet someone or explain anything to outsiders, it is Lin Cunyi!

Lin Cunyi spends most of his time busy outside. If there is no one in charge of things in the house, that will definitely not work! Even if Wang Meichun comes in the future, she still needs to take care of things! The huge Earl's Mansion needs many servants!

In the evening, Grandpa Yang came back with a lantern. Brothers Lin Cunyi, Wang Chenghai and Yang Ergou were waiting for Grandpa Yang at the door of the house.

"Hey, Grandpa Yang, you came back so late, have you eaten?" Lin Cunyi saw that it was Grandpa Yang and called him over quickly, and at the same time went over to support Grandpa Yang. "The second young master is back? Okay, it's good to be back. There is no one in charge in the house. The fourth young master followed the young master to fight. If the two of them are not good enough, they can't do anything!" Grandpa Yang said very happily when he saw that it was Lin Cunyi.

"Grandpa Yang, I didn't know that Xiao Wu went to fight. If I had known, I would have come back long ago!" Lin Cunyi explained.

"It's okay, it's no big deal. Master Wang will come here from time to time. If anything happens, Master Wang can solve it!" Grandpa Yang said with a smile, and Wang Chenghai followed!

"Grandpa Yang, I have to say something to you. It's okay for you to go out, but you have to take the people with you. What if you fall or get hit? Xiaowu is back, don't you scold us to death? Tomorrow, If you want to go out, take a servant with you. If you don't agree, I won't let you go out!" Lin Cunyi supported Grandpa Yang and explained.

"What will happen if I don't take it with me? This old slave walks this road every day, even with his eyes closed!" Grandpa Yang waved his hand and said, not wanting to take it with him.

"Then you have to take him with you. If you don't take him with you, I won't let you go out. I won't be afraid of you and Xiao Wu complaining when the time comes. Xiao Wu will definitely support me!" Lin Cunyi threatened Grandpa Yang.

"Hey, you kid!" Grandpa Yang had no choice but to acquiesce!

He still wanted to go to the east city gate and wait for Lin Cunde to come back!

In the evening, Wang Chenghai followed Lin Cunyi on a tour of the mansion before returning to his residence! I found Mrs. Yang packing her clothes!

"You're back, are you still used to it?" Yang asked when she saw Wang Chenghai coming back, immediately put down her things and poured water for Wang Chenghai.

"It's too big. Do you know how big this mansion is? My cousin is really capable! I heard that my cousin has tens of thousands of books in his study. When my cousin comes back, I will go to my cousin to get some books to read!" Wang Chenghai Sitting there and sighing.

Yang heard this and said with a smile: "I am an earl. Besides, look at the things in this yard! In addition, this yard is bigger than our house, and there are more rooms. All the furniture is... It's high-quality mahogany, and today Mr. Qiu Shuang sent cloths, all of which are of high quality. He also gave them to our four servants. I heard from the servants that most of the things used in the mansion come from the palace! Husband, , I thought, just do it well here! It will be much better than at home!"

Yang sat down, looked at Wang Chenghai and said.

Wang Chenghai used to teach and earned an income from teaching, but he mainly studied at home. He also had 20 acres of thin farmland at home, and he could barely make ends meet!

"Yeah!" Wang Chenghai hummed, but actually he was still not used to it! He still likes to sit down, read and write every day!

"Husband, don't dislike me for talking too much. My second cousin said that if you come here, you can get twenty taels of silver a year, including food and accommodation. You can save at least fifteen taels a year and more than an acre of land! Besides, it's so much here. There are more people, you are in charge, I don’t need you to do anything, I just need you to get a good deal! You still have time to study!" Yang continued to persuade Wang Chenghai, she also hoped to make more money, after all, she already has a child. Moreover, Wang Chenghai is not young anymore, and he has not even passed the exam! The reason why he called Lin Cunyi his second cousin was because he was referring to Lin Cuunde.

If you fail to pass the exam in this life, how can you live a good life relying on the meager fields at home?

"Besides, even if you don't know what to do in the future, if your cousin is here, he can still arrange an errand for you, right? I heard that the fourth cousin also studied before, and later he was arranged by his cousin to be a hundred households! Like this There is no chance! It depends on whether you are good at what you do and whether you are practical or not!" Yang continued to persuade.

"I know, don't worry, I understand! I lived a poor life at home, but now here, not to mention other things, the food is good, but the children have to eat meat! By the way, are you all asleep?" Wang Chenghai looked at it with a smile. Looking at Yang, he said.

"I'm asleep. I'm all asleep. I'm tired from traveling these days!" Yang said with a smile and nodded.

In the next few days, Lin Cunde led the army and rushed to Shanhaiguan. On the fifth day, he arrived at Shanhaiguan. Xiang Qing was very happy to see Lin Cunde back.

That night, Xiang Qing invited Lin Cunde and others to dinner at Shanhaiguan!

The next day, Lin Cunde came to Beijing with Xiang Qing. There were defenders at Shanhaiguan, so Lin Cunde didn't need to worry about it. All Lin Cunde had to do was take his brothers from the Third Battalion of the Capital back!

And here in the capital, the civil servants can be said to be panicked! They were worried that Zhu Qiyu would suppress civil servants, but so far, Zhu Qiyu had not made any movement. Important officials in the court, including Jiang Yuan, had been promoted to cabinet minister, and the others had not moved.

The more Zhu Qiyu didn't move, the more worried those ministers became!

The sword hangs above the head. Who knows when it will be cut down and whose head it will fall on.

Even Chen Xun was afraid, so he was extremely careful in doing things every day, and he also began to control household expenses! Chen Xunhui first told the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs below that he was not allowed to spend any unnecessary money to embarrass Jiang Yuan. To embarrass Jiang Yuan would be to embarrass His Majesty.

Wang Zhi was under great pressure during this period, and he even thought about becoming an official!
