My father, on horseback, is the empire's dragon commander; off horseback, he is the current prime minister. People call me the Young Prime Minister.
My father and I both feared being slau...
Just as Park Yoo-hee was wondering how to answer, Zhao Cheng waved to Park Yoo-hee, walked towards Park Geon, and said, "I've already bought it, there's no going back. If you don't want it, you can deal with it yourself, kill it or sell it, it's up to you!"
"Just keep one for DouDou, I'll sell the rest and give you the money!"
"Brother Jian!"
Mrs. Park came out from the backyard, grabbed Park Geon's hand, and said, "What are you trying to do by doing this to Ah Cheng?!"
Zhao Cheng bowed deeply to Madam Park and said, "I am grateful for your understanding, Aunt. If Uncle Park insists on selling the sheep, then I will move out of the General's Mansion today."
"Wah!!!" Dou Dou burst into tears, crying out, "Don't sell the sheep! Grandpa, don't sell the sheep! Waaah..."
"Dad!" Park Yoo-hee hugged her son tightly and gave her father a reproachful look.
“Sigh…” Park Geon sighed, knowing he couldn’t win against Zhao Cheng on this matter, and complained, “I can take the sheep, but this is too much! A hundred sheep! How am I supposed to raise them? How much fodder do they need to eat every day? I can’t afford it!”
Zhao Cheng waved his hand behind him, and a man wearing a cloak drove over with sheep and bowed to Pu Jian.
Zhao Cheng said, "This is the shepherd I invited. He will be staying at the General's Mansion from now on. If there is a house, he will be given one; if not, he will build his own shed. He will also be responsible for buying the fodder, so you don't need to worry about the expenses. He will leave when the sheep are all eaten or when the General's Mansion no longer needs him."
Park Gon: "..."
The shepherd said, "Besides feeding sheep, I can also make mutton soup with bread. When the general needs to eat a whole roasted lamb, I can also help roast it."
Park Gon: "..."
"Ah Cheng...do you really have to be this considerate?" Park Gun didn't know what to say.
"This is just compensation for Dou Dou; what follows is my thoughtful gesture."
Zhao Cheng clapped his hands, and the shepherd immediately herded the sheep to one side, revealing the view of the front yard.
Park Gon looked ahead and saw some strangers in the courtyard: a maid washing clothes by the well, and guards standing behind the gate...
Zhao Cheng nudged Park Moo-di with his elbow.
Zhao Wudi cleared his throat and immediately shouted, "Come and pay your respects to the master!"
The maid and guards immediately ran over, and four people also ran out of the kitchen. In addition to the two old men from before, there were two new faces.
Zhao Cheng said, "There were originally two people in the kitchen, and now there are two more, plus four maids to take care of your daily lives, and four guards, making a total of twelve people."
Park Gun was completely bewildered and said, "Ah Cheng, what are you doing?!"
Zhao Cheng's approach today was completely different from yesterday. He was unyielding and said with a strong aura, "A dignified fourth-rank general's mansion should behave like a general's mansion. If you act like a down-and-out household, how can Sister Youxi and Wudi go out and face people?"
Park Moo-di nodded repeatedly as he listened.
"Don't tell me to cancel their contracts. I've already signed ten-year contracts with these twelve people. As long as they do a good job, I'll arrange for them to be paid on time! If you cancel their contracts, I'll have to pay a penalty, which is no small sum!"
"Acheng, you!"
Mrs. Park released her husband and walked straight to Zhao Cheng, about to bow.
Zhao Cheng quickly helped Madam Park up and said sternly, "If that's how you want to do things, Auntie, I'll get out of here right now!"
"No, no, no!" Mrs. Park grabbed Zhao Cheng's hand, her eyes filled with tears, and said, "Cheng, thank you, thank you so much..."
Zhao Cheng glanced at Pu Jian and said, "Your aunt has been with you for so many years, can't you let her live a good life? You still make your aunt do the laundry and sweep the yard herself every day?"
"I can't stop you from continuing to support your brothers' widows and orphans, and I support you, but you have to take care of your family first!"
"Don't you listen to my father? He once taught me that kindness isn't necessarily a good quality. When you're strong, kindness is a virtue. When you're not strong enough, kindness can be a weakness!"
Park Gon closed his eyes and remained silent. Since Zhao Cheng had already put it this way, he couldn't refuse. He said, "Ah Cheng, thank you."
Zhao Cheng kicked Park Moo-di.
Park Moo-di was stunned and asked, "Why did you kick me?"
Zhao Cheng said to Pu Jian, "You're being so polite with me? You're my elder, so I wouldn't dare kick you, I can only kick your son!"
Park In-di: "..."
Suppressing his emotions, Park Gon walked to his wife's side, put his arm around her shoulder, and said to the servants, "From today onwards, you are all members of the Park family. From now on, you will obey Madam's orders in all matters of the household."
"yes!!!"
Upon hearing the loud response, Mrs. Park's eyes welled up with tears.
It has been a long time.
long time,
I've never felt so powerful before!
I... I'm a general's wife, after all!!!
Mrs. Park wiped away her tears.
"Sir, the workers at the gate have finished and want you to come and take a look!" A guard returned as soon as he left.
"At the door?" Park Gon looked at Zhao Cheng and asked suspiciously, "Cheng, what else did you do?"
Zhao Cheng turned and walked towards the gate, saying, "Let's go take a look together!"
The group arrived outside the general's mansion.
The Jianzhong General's Mansion is located in a secluded and quiet part of Changsui City, not in the bustling downtown area. The street in front of the mansion usually doesn't have many pedestrians, but at this time it attracted many people to stop and look at the couplets outside the gate.
The five large characters "General Jianzhong's Mansion" on the gate are still the same as before, only they have been polished to a much brighter shine.
The lintel and the surrounding peeling paint have been repaired, but what really attracts everyone's attention is the couplet.
