Chapter 68

Daodu communicated with Wang Baogui about the management of his private assets and was very satisfied with the work ability he demonstrated.
I also considered leaving, saying, "It will be hard work. From now on, in addition to the monthly allowance from my family, I will give you another five cents of silver every month."

In fact, Wang Baogui and Daodu were already familiar with each other.
Because the bride has to hide before getting married, it is not easy to see the father. We also want to meet a few times on the boat, and there is not much chance to talk and communicate.
Now that the marriage was settled, Daodu finally met officially. The two were face to face, Daodu observing each other, and each other also observing Daodu.

The Taoist priest spoke clearly and asked detailed questions about how to rent out houses and shops, what kind of agents to look for, and what procedures to go through at the government office.
This surprised Wang Baogui secretly.
There were too many Taoist girls, and the male servants could ask around about the girls at will. Before being assigned to be a Taoist priest as a chambermaid, they had no idea whether they had ever met a Taoist priest.
Later, the old master asked if there was anyone who could arrange a roommate for the young lady who was a top scholar in the capital, so he went to inquire. Oh, it turned out to be the young lady who was accepted as a registered disciple by the great monk of Donglin Temple, and the master had matched the name.

Wang Baogui has three children in his family. His sons are all teenagers, and are at the age where they can bankrupt their father.
He thought that Daodu was so generous. Hearing this, he showed joy in his eyes and hurriedly raised his buttocks to salute Daodu, "Thank you, young master."
It's all said, "Just take more care."
Then he said, "There's nothing to do with Dabian, so just go back first."

Wang Baogui knew that Rong Ti still had something to say to Zhao Lijia.
The Zhao family originally wanted an ordinary servant in Ti's house, but because they married Youdao's former personal maid, she was suddenly assigned to Youdao as a chambermaid. It is said that Tidao asked for a servant herself. In short, everyone is envious.
Wang Baogui knew that compared to himself, the Zhao Li family was closer to Daoduzi's "do it yourself".
He tactfully left, leaving us space to talk.

Daodu smiled and said to Li Jia, "Don't envy him. He has a lot of experience and is in charge of many things."
Wang Baogui was also given subsidies, and Zhao Lijia was obviously envious.
Li Jia smiled and said, "Of course I envy you, but I think your uncle deserves a son. Let me follow you for a few days, and you will learn a lot and gain more knowledge."

I have learned about Zhao Li's temperament from Yun Juan, but I have never had the chance to deal with him directly. Today, I see that Ti's temperament is indeed different from that of a young man.
He also asked, "Before leaving Huaixi, I asked Yunjuan to teach me how to read. How is your learning going?"
Li Jia replied, "The two storybooks that my husband gave me are basically readable. Some of them are even written in couplets. If you read them together in sentences, you will recognize them."

"That's fine. If you see me, I'll be very knowledgeable. If you see me, I'll be able to read and write." Daodu told him, "Give me a bigger dowry. If Wang Baogui wants someone to take care of him, that's enough. If you want me, I'll let him follow the Hanlin Academy."

The Li family was overjoyed.
Taoists often come to businessmen's houses. Even the county magistrate and the Taoist old master have to respond warmly.
But when it came to Tanhua, Zhao Lijia wanted to be a servant, because he could see clearly that the county magistrate was very polite to the guest.
Everyone says that if you want to ascend to heaven, you can do it. Thanks to my wife and children, I really can do it.
He bowed and said, "Ti."

Daodu still has something to tell me, "The Hanlin is very particular. Just think about it and do your job well. Don't be too smart."
The Li family was shocked, "The Hanlin Ti Wenquxing came down to earth, and he dared not be 'smart' in front of the old master."
What is this “old boss”? Daodu almost got laughed at.

He also told him, "The most useful person around Hanlin is called Pingmo. He is Hanlin's brother. If you see him, you should respect him. If you want to know what to do in front of Hanlin, you should learn from him. If you want to be respectable and promising in front of Hanlin, you should observe Pingmo more, talk less, watch more, and learn more."
Li Jia listened carefully and nodded in response, "Remember it."

Daodu was quite satisfied with the two concubines, and said with a smile, "In the future, I will give you two coins as a stipend."
The Li family was overjoyed, and swore in hatred that they would "bring shame to the young master."
Daodu stood up and said, "Let's go and see Hanlin."

Daodu went to see Huanzi as his roommate, and it took quite a long time.
The companion is mainly responsible for managing the dowry assets. I know that everyone cares about money, so why would he ask in detail?
Drinking tea with Ti, playing with "Chun Sheng".

The sound of the piano was humming, and she was thinking, although her cousin had been trained by her grandfather for some time, she still had to go out to be a daughter of the Chuihua Gate. After all, it was just talk. She would come back and personally help her, so that she would not be deceived by the servants.
The piano music was buzzing again, and it took about half of the first song to be played.
How can I return the favor?

Jingrongyuan was not the courtyard where they lived before they got married. Daodou had been in Dali since they moved there, and they had been sharing this courtyard since then.
I was thinking, the room was empty without any laughter.
It was necessary to remove many festive decorations.

Finally, the maid outside said, "Hanlin, the young master comes to see me."
There was a couch under the piano when Genti pushed it open.
Walking out of the main room, I thought of the young servant who was talking to him in the courtyard. When he saw him coming out, he smiled and greeted him, "Jiyun, come and meet your roommate."

Follow Ti down the stairs.
Because Ti Tou wanted to meet him formally for the first time, Zhao Lijia knelt down and kowtowed to him, saying, "My name is Zhao Lijia. I'm honored to meet you, Hanlin."
It's a great gift to Ti Shou. "Let's get started."
Zhao Lijia stood up swiftly.
Everyone knows that "Ti was brought up by my family when I was young. Ti was my personal maid before and she was even married off. Only then was Kui'er brought up."

If the Taoist priest said that Ti had been delayed for three years because of the old bald monk's misjudgment and was unable to marry on time, then Zhao Li's wife should give Ti a maid as a dowry.
Just like Qin's mother, it is impossible to become a mother who still believes in others.
In fact, it has only been eighteen years since Zi Shangsheng was born. If we count backwards, that maid should have accompanied Zi Shangsheng for most of his life.
Just like a stranger. Looking around the house with Ti.
There were maids working or walking in the courtyard and corridors. The maids only lowered their eyes slightly to look at the ground and glanced around. Their postures were very respectful, showing that they knew the rules.
He is young and has a decent appearance.

I asked Ti, "What did you want to do in the past?"
The family said, "Ti wanted to go to the door, receive visiting cards and business cards, pass them on, and direct the carriages and horses, all for the purpose of welcoming and sending off the children."
His articulation was clear, and although he had a slight accent, he could speak Mandarin quite well.
He Ti nodded and said, "I want to walk around you from now on."

Although Daodu has already announced it, the final decision on major matters will only be made after Ti’s approval.
Li Jia respectfully responded, "Ti."
"I've been to Tihuan's house before, and I want to keep him by my side in the future. So I'll take him to see Pingmo and let Pingmo make the arrangements."
Changchuan said, "Ti."

Daodu smiled and touched the bun on Changchuan's head, "Tell Pingmo to follow the arrangements of the Li family in the future and don't forget to have the monthly allowance from the Li family."
Changchuan covered his head and said, "Okay."
One of them took the Li family away.

Daodu watched them all leave and was about to turn around to see what was happening.
Daodu touched his face and asked, "Is there something on your face?"
To brush off the hem of her dress and go into the house, she had to "be fussy about everything."
Daodu followed with a smile, "I'm afraid Pingmo has forgotten it."
If you have a job, you need to get a monthly salary. You can also give your children extra money to support them. Since you have a family, you should pay your monthly salary to your family.

Tell Ti, "I will forget everything I have experienced."
Daodu asked, "Is Pingmo Tiyi very capable?"
"Ti." He returned to the back room, sat on the couch, and told Ti, "Pingmo Ti's grandfather personally trained him, and he is dedicated to you."
No wonder he looks capable and his speech and behavior are so clear.
Everyone is envious.

I asked Ti, "How about another one?"
"what?"
"Give me the one who takes care of the dowry."
"It's my fault." Daodu was happy, "Grandfather, let me do it."

Grandfathers are reliable.
In fact, in the Taoist family, the eldest uncle Jianti is a reliable person.
I wonder how reliable the Third Master is.
Thanks to a reliable father and a generous mother, she has finally been able to live a comfortable life for the past ten years. If Tisheng wants to be the eldest son, it will be difficult to fool her uncle with the same trick. In addition, her aunt is more responsible than her third husband, so everything from her marriage to her marriage is clearly arranged.
I feel breathless just thinking about it.

I told Ti, "If there is anything about your dowry, you can tell me."
Thinking about it, he would go back to report for leave soon. He would have to go to the Hanlin Academy and the palace to work every day. He also said, "If I can find someone, I will go to Pingmo to meet him. I want to wait for him in the outer courtyard on weekdays."

"Hey, can I just follow you every day?"
"Of course. Give the six servants around you, and arrange the shifts for them. When you see me in the house, follow me. There will be seven."
"Yes, I have to go back to work tomorrow."

What's going on in those bright eyes full of excitement and anticipation?
"..." He Ti slowly put down the teacup, "From now on, you have to get up two quarters of an hour earlier than the previous days, and see Ti for breakfast. So sister, you have to adjust your schedule and synchronize with me, so as not to affect your morning exercises."
All the Tao have to say “Huh?”
Heti's fingers tapped on his legs and said, "Give me the official uniform, official hat, official boots, and leather belt. Sister will take care of them and take care of them every day."
All the Tao must be "..."

There is obviously a maid.
I've seen it before, it must be the maidservant of Ti who is in charge, right? Luyan and Hexin's collars are like Ti, but she has to wait for the maid's monthly salary.
...Rong...Okay, I'll also collect the monthly allowance for Ziti's wife, twenty taels. When I grow up, I'll see Ziti's wife should be a son.

However, if you still want to stay overnight today, you may not be able to stay in Jingrong Yard for too long.
It was fine in the first few days after Ruoti got married, but after she got married, there was a smell of lust in the tent. If these things accumulate and cannot be relieved, it is easy to cause trouble.

The deeper reason is that today I crossed the line and held your hand. I need to control the distance and progress.
I have thought about it and I have a suggestion, "So where should I live?"
Just as he was about to tap Ti's legs, his fingers paused.

"I don't think you need to worry too much." Daodu analyzed earnestly, "In fact, if he favors his concubine and kills his wife, then it must be that Ti's wife has long been complaining and often complains to others, or there is a quarrel between the wife and the concubine, and it is covered up, so there will be such a reputation."
"There will definitely be trouble with Xiao Feng. If the family is harmonious, they will have a good reputation in the future."
"Just go ahead and feel free."

He blinked and looked into Daoduzi's eyes, wanting to see what Ti was thinking.
And Daodu...Daoduti sincerely wanted Genti to get out.
