After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains
Chapter 41: Tool Man, Make the Best Use of Everything
Ever since Qin Yaoguang mentioned the enlightenment, the eldest brother has kept it in mind all the time. Even when he went to sleep yesterday, he felt hot in his heart and tossed and turned for a long time before he fell asleep.
I thought that even if the princess didn't want to deceive them, she wouldn't do it so quickly.
Unexpectedly, the matter had a result after just one day. How could the boss not be happy?
But Xiao, although friendly to them in front of others, hated them behind their backs for being bastards, which made the boss unhappy.
Qin Yaoguang took a sip of tea and said, "Mrs. Zhou's family has a long tradition of farming and studying, and her husband is the favorite disciple of the Grand Tutor. It's just right for me to teach you a few words."
Xiao is a stupid person. As long as she is separated from Zhou Qinghe, she won't be able to make any waves.
Zhou Qinghe wanted to copy scriptures, so he asked Xiao to stay in Zhufeng Courtyard the whole day, so Zhou Qinghe had no manpower to do anything wrong.
When they arrived at Zhufeng Courtyard, Bai Lu would naturally keep an eye on Xiao's every move. She had no choice but to teach the children to read honestly.
None of the five children had ever learned to read, so this was a good opportunity to teach them how to read.
From now on, she will teach students according to their aptitude and invite different teachers to teach them. By then, the Xiao family will have no place to go.
Qin Yaoguang did not mention the word "teacher" and did not let the eldest son perform the etiquette of a disciple in front of Xiao. She made it clear that she was just asked to teach him how to read.
After talking to the eldest brother, Qin Yaoguang instructed Chunfen: "Go buy Thousand Characters, Three Character Classics, and Young Learners' Classics, and bring them back to Zhufeng Courtyard. Let the brothers and sisters take a look at them first. You will start learning characters tomorrow, so don't be lazy."
She decided on the teaching materials and set the teaching goal of learning to read and write. She had given all the instructions, but she didn't ask for Xiao's opinion.
Xiao was full of grievances, but she didn't dare to speak out.
Back then, her family was able to arrange a marriage with the youngest son of the Yan family, and they were also a well-known scholarly family.
The Yan family was a family of military generals. They wanted to try to send one of their children and grandchildren to pursue a career in politics, so they arranged a marriage for her, who was somewhat of a relative of theirs, for the sake of the Xiao family's good reputation.
Who in the capital doesn't know about Yan Changqing's good name?
She had followed her mother to Beijing that year. Under the arrangement of the Yan family, she glanced at him from afar while offering incense at a Buddhist temple.
Just one glance and she was obsessed with him and secretly entrusted her heart to him.
Who would have known that all the changes that followed would catch her off guard, and she would later have to live in the princess's mansion and live her life according to the wishes of others.
Now, she, a legitimate daughter, is asked to teach these lowly creatures who don't even know who their own mother is to read?
What a great birthday!
Fortunately, they didn't have to really worship her as their master. Thinking of this, Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and accepted the task.
Looking at Xiao's expression coldly, Qin Yao smiled in his heart.
Since she can't get rid of Zhou Qinghe because of the protagonist's halo, she has to use this great tool.
The Princess's Mansion was like the company she was managing at the time. With so many people, how could all of them be loyal and capable? In a big forest, there are all kinds of birds, and it is normal for villains to succeed.
What she needs to do is not to turn the princess's mansion upside down, but to put the right people in the right places.
After sending Xiao away, Qin Yaoguang suddenly remembered and asked Madam Deng, "She didn't say why she came here?"
Nanny Deng thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I forgot."
Qin Yaoguang just thought it was funny and ignored it. She asked Nanny Deng to call in the people who were going to be the managers of the outer courtyard.
After Wang Guanshi was sent to Jingzhao Prefecture by her, he was sentenced to exile there, but the outer courtyard could not be managed by Madam Deng all the time. There was a difference between the inner and outer courtyards, and many things were inconvenient.
Three people came forward to greet Qin Yaoguang, then stood with their heads bowed respectfully, waiting to be questioned.
These three people were the candidates she had screened based on the resumes dictated by Nanny Deng: one was the manager of the imperial farm that was part of her dowry, one was a slave of a convicted official who was bought into the mansion three years ago, and the other was a maid in her dowry that the Empress Dowager awarded to her when she got married.
There is no one from Ningguo Mansion.
Qin Yaoguang knew the plot. The Empress Dowager was a mother who loved her children, but the Ningguo Mansion was not like that. Everyone from top to bottom was holding back on a feeling of resentment, which ultimately led to a catastrophic disaster.
The original owner thought that his maternal family was trustworthy, and finally he stepped into the trap carefully set by the second brother and ended up miserably.
Steward Wang is from the Ningguo Mansion, and she will no longer let them control the outer courtyard.
Normally, she had already gotten married, so she could just let her husband-in-law take charge of the affairs of the outer courtyard, and she didn't need to worry about it. But her husband-in-law had only been to the princess's mansion once, so how could he expect these things?
After asking several people to come forward and answer, Qin Yaoguang thought for a moment, then pointed at the thin man in his thirties wearing a dark blue cloth robe and said, "I think you are capable, so let's try first."
"I'll give you ten days. Come back and get back to me after ten days." Qin Yaoguang said slowly, "If everything is sorted out, you will be in charge of the outer courtyard."
The thin man was excited, and he stepped forward and kowtowed: "I am Zeng Xiangjin, your servant, and I will definitely live up to the princess' trust!"
His former master was once a prominent figure in the capital, but because of a flood relief fraud case three years ago, the head of the family was beheaded, the entire family was confiscated and exiled, and all of them, the slaves, were sold.
Zeng Xiangjin was a born son in a family. His father was the steward of that family. Zeng Xiangjin learned a lot of skills as a housekeeper from his father since he was a child.
He had thought that his father would be older and his son would inherit his father's business, but he didn't expect that his family would collapse all of a sudden. On the day of the house search, his father was beaten to death by the soldiers who were searching, and later his whole family was sold out.
If he was luckier, he could still stay in the capital.
I thought that this was how my life would end, but I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to work as the chief steward of the outer courtyard in the princess's mansion.
He couldn't help but be excited.
He was originally the least favored.
The two who were not chosen concealed their unhappiness and did not dare to show it in front of the princess. As soon as they went out, she gave him a cold look, which definitely meant that he would not be able to spend these ten days in peace.
After dealing with this matter, Qin Yaoguang asked Guyu to put down the paintbrush and concentrate on painting a picture of the Eight Immortals celebrating the birthday.
The Queen Mother's birthday is next month, and this thick thigh is the most important thing. There are all kinds of rare treasures in the palace, so she might as well paint a picture carefully to make it more pleasing.
After finishing the draft, she straightened up and looked at the places that needed to be revised.
The emperor was very good at painting. Although she had laid a solid foundation in modern times, she was busy making a living and only regarded painting as a leisure hobby. She had not painted such a large work for many years.
If she wants to stand out, she needs to handle it carefully.
Seeing that she had taken a break, Nanny Deng held a hot cloth, wrapped her hands and started massaging them.
While pressing, Madam Deng carefully considered her words and said, "Master, Zeng Xiangjin wants to manage the outer courtyard, but it will probably take some effort."
To the Princess's Mansion, Zeng Xiangjin is an outsider with no roots. Why would the eldest princess want to employ such a person?
