Little wealth

In the blink of an eye, all the people in the room were gone.

Josh left Caixia alone to talk, and explained a few things to pay attention to when entertaining guests, "You arrange a few brisk servants to serve at Mingjingxuan, and let them do things as lightly as possible. Some, don't disturb the Second Highness."

"There is also someone from the kitchen to send some fresh fruits and vegetables every day, so that Master Liu can cook a few more fresh dishes every day. The Second Highness and our family like to eat meat, so let Master Liu Make more meat dishes."

"Okay, I know this, and I will remind them to pay attention when they go to serve in the yard over there. I know that the master is coming back, and I have already notified people to bring fresh meat and vegetables every day." Caixia knew that she lived in The guest in the young master's yard is a distinguished guest, even if their master didn't give special instructions, she would order the people below to do it well.

The master and the servant had a few discussions on this matter, knowing that Caixia would arrange these matters, Josh felt more at ease.

This year they came back from Kyoto relatively late. If they would have returned in June and July in previous years, this year they delayed their return by two months because of the child's marriage.

It's already September, and it's already autumn. Every October, they have to prepare food for the winter. Josh didn't forget this, so he said: "Next month, we will save a batch of meat and vegetables for the winter. If it needs to be pickled, if it needs to be dried, arrange a good person to deal with it as soon as possible.”

It was only when I came back that I realized that there were still so many things to deal with at home. The food for the winter was related to whether the family could have enough food. Every year, they had to prepare it in advance.

"Don't worry about this master, our family has grown a lot of vegetables in the field this year, and they may not be able to store them when the cellar is pulled out next month." Caixia has these things every year through her hands, naturally Know what to do.

However, this year is a bit different from previous years. She still has to ask the master for instructions first, and asked: "We have raised hundreds of chickens and ducks since the beginning of spring. Master, you have been to Kyoto for so long this year and you have come back. All the chickens we raised are still there." There is no killing there, and it is definitely enough to keep it for the winter. Our family has so many chickens and ducks this year, the pigs ordered from the farm will still be the same as in previous years, or should we have one less?"

"Oh, that's right. I almost forgot if you didn't tell me." Josh patted his forehead, and almost forgot that there were so many chickens and ducks at home.As for buying pigs, he thought for a while and said, "Buying pigs this year should be the same as in previous years. We will share an extra pig to make sausages and bacon, and make more sausages this year."

"Since there are too many chickens and ducks at home, after the sausage and bacon are ready, I will send some more to the capital. Anian and Nuomi live in the Hou's Mansion, so you should prepare more for the New Year's gift to be sent to the Hou's Mansion. Both Anian and Nuomi like to eat sausages, so send them more sausages." In previous years, they would also send things to the Hou's Mansion, but in previous years only the old housekeeper was there, and they didn't send many.

"Hey, okay, I'll let someone arrange this, master, don't worry." When she heard that she was sending more sausages to their young master and husband, Caixia nodded hurriedly, very happy.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed.

Josh also trusts and feels more at ease with the chief manager whom he single-handedly promoted, and said with a smile: "With you here, I am also more at ease. Thanks to you watching at home during this period, there is nothing going on at home." During this period of time, their whole family went to Kyoto, and thanks to the help of the big steward to help them look after the house, they went back home and everything was as usual.

Now there are more and more people in the family, and there are more and more things. He must not be able to take care of so many things in the family by himself, and now that the child is getting older, he also has his own things to be busy with. Time at home Not as much as before.

His mother and Chen Yan have always been indifferent, and the power of the family has fallen on his own shoulders.To say that being in charge has both good and bad sides, the good side is that he is in charge of the family's economic power, and the bad side is that there are too many trivial things every day.

He felt like a bit of a laborer at this point, that is, a nosy, worrying person, and those things fell on his shoulders.But they are all a family, and he never chooses the easy and fears the heavy, pushes things against others, and it doesn't matter if you do more or less work, the harmony of the family is the most important thing.

"Master, you are not at home, there is no one at home, and there are not many things. It is better if you come back, master. With you at home, the house will be much more lively." Caixia didn't feel that she had done anything for the master's family, she just It's just what it's supposed to do.

However, compared to the fact that the masters are not at home, she still hopes that the masters will come back. Some time ago, the masters of the family all went to the capital, and the whole yard suddenly became quiet, even the dogs at home stopped making noise. They're all a little unaccustomed to it.

She has worked in this family for more than ten years, and now she is the chief steward. Few big families let a woman be the steward. Their master let her be the steward because of his trust in her. Naturally, he couldn't live up to the master's heart.If it wasn't for the fact that the master bought them back at the beginning, she would not know where she is now, and how could she live such a good life like now, not only regained her freedom, but also got married and had children.

However, she feels that people should be grateful, so even after regaining her freedom, she still chooses to stay and work with the Zhao family. This place is like her half home, and her masters are also like her half. family.

Speaking of the masters going to the capital this time, Caixia asked the young master who stayed in the capital as an official, "I don't know if it's good for the young master to stay in the capital, and is he used to eating? The winter in the capital is worse than ours." Cold, I don’t know if Eldest Young Master can get used to it. I remember Eldest Young Master liked Little Nuomi when he was young, and now Eldest Young Master has married Nuomi Young Master, and his wish has come true. "

"That's right, the relationship between the two children has been good since they were young. They both like each other, and it's good for them to be together." Josh is quite satisfied with the eldest son's marriage, and he saw it for himself. The grown-up children, the two children can get married, and the adults are also very satisfied.

Fortunately, the two children are now married, and they don't worry about their son living alone in the Hou Mansion when they come back.

Thinking of the two children far away in Kyoto, Josh said with a slight smile on his face, "It's colder here in Kyoto than here. Nuomi has lived in Kyoto for so many years, and Ah Nian can do it. Slow down." Take it slow and get used to it."

"That's right, with Miss Nuomi by my side, no matter how cold the winter in Kyoto, Eldest Young Master would be willing to stay there." Caixia nodded with a smile, and was also happy that their Eldest Young Master was able to marry his favorite brother.

The two were talking, when they looked up, they saw Ah Huang was at the door, looking into the room, his eyes seemed to be searching for someone, Josh knew that this dog must be looking for his little master, but Its little master is still far away in Kyoto and cannot come back for the time being.

Seeing the big yellow dog, he remembered the scene where the child who hadn't grown up walked around with the dog every day at home.

It's just that the child with the dog has grown up and gone outside, and the dog kept at home has gradually aged. No matter how carefully they raised them these years, the coat color of this old dog has lost its luster , is a late old dog.

This dog is the oldest dog in their family. According to the age of human beings, this dog should be a centenarian. I don’t know how long this dog can live, and how many times he can see his little master. meet again.

Seeing this dog, Josh couldn't help but think of himself from the dog. Maybe in the future when his children grow up, he and their Master Zhao will become two left-behind old people, staying here waiting for the children to come back , looking forward to it every day, I can't help but feel a little sad, and I don't know if it's for the dog or for themselves.

"Ah Huang, come here." He beckoned to Ah Huang and asked Ah Huang to come over.

Hearing the master calling it, Ah Huang raised his triangular eyes and glanced at the master. Those eyes were full of wisdom, as if he could understand what the master said, he stepped into the room and walked slowly towards the master.

Dabai, who followed behind, also entered the house, but he just stayed at the door, squatting at the door and waiting for Ah Huang.

Although he has been in this family for so many years, Dabai is still not as obedient and close to his family as Ah Huang.However, it never attacks its own family, and it never barks when outsiders come during the day. It has also helped the family catch thieves, and led the pack of dogs to drive away the wild wolves who came to their village.

"Ah Nian has stayed in the capital as an official, and I can't come back for the time being. If you want it, I'll send you to the capital?" Josh reached out and touched Da Huang's head, glanced at it and refused to stay at the door. Dabai who came over did not force him to go there.

Dabai doesn't like to be close to people, and his family members never try to force Dabai, they all respect Dabai very much.However, Dabai and Ah Huang's descendants grew up with them, so they are very close to their family members.

Ah Huang walked half a circle around the master, sniffed it with his nose, squatted in front of the master, and raised his head to look at the master.

"Or do you prefer to stay at home? Or let's stay at home. It's too far to go to Kyoto. Isn't it better for you and Dabai to stay here for the elderly than go to Kyoto with Ah Nian?" Josh stroked the big yellow dog When he met the big yellow dog looking at him, he doubted that the old yellow dog could understand what he said.

It's just that they couldn't communicate correctly, and he didn't know what the dog was thinking, whether it wanted to stay at home or go to Kyoto to find its little master.But if Lao Huang is sent away, what will Dabai do?Is Dabai willing to go with him?

Ah Huang didn't speak, let the owner touch his head a few times, got up, and walked out slowly.

Dabai who was at the door waited until Ah Huang came out, and the two dogs went out together.
