Jin Qianqian never imagined that merely inheriting an estate would mysteriously grant her a spatial dimension. Unsure of where the space led—to an apocalypse, transmigration, or endless survival ...
Chapter 736 738. Distribution
The movements of Jin Qianqian and her group could not be concealed. Not only did each prefecture send people out to inquire about the situation every day, the people of Yongchang County were also very curious, and some of them came here in groups to take a look around.
Looking at these novel and exquisite buildings, everyone is even more curious about what the scene will be like after it opens.
Watching different people busy in and out of these shops every day, but not being able to find out any information, this arouses people's curiosity.
In particular, on each shop front, a piece of red cloth covered the name of the shop, which became a hot topic in the entire East City.
Jin Qianqian also refused all visitors on the grounds of being busy. Even Wu Houshi, who was somewhat related to the Gu family, was turned away, so everyone else gave up the idea.
Another escort team arrived from Yongchang County, and six of the carriages headed straight for the ancient mansion after asking the guards at the city gate.
In the main hall of the ancient mansion, Jin Qianqian saw four maids who looked tired, and quickly asked someone to serve tea.
"Thank you, Madam, for your consideration," the leading maid stood up again to express her gratitude, "I am Wei Jinhua,"
The three people beside him stood up at the same time, "Your servant Yuan Yuzhuo,"
"My servant Ning Qingchu,"
"Your servant Zuo Wan,"
"Meet the Madam!"
Jin Qianqian, "You've worked so hard to come all the way here. Sit down and have a rest first. We will be together for a long time in the future."
These maids were found for them by Zhou Shixiong, and they were all old people in the palace.
"This gift list was prepared by Lord Zhou and is now being handed over to you." Wei Jinhua was obviously the eldest among the four of them, and she was the leader today.
At the bottom of the gift list, there were two letters.
Ming He walked over and took it with both hands. Jin Qianqian was not in a hurry to look at it. "You have worked hard on this journey. I have asked someone to prepare the room. You can go and take a look. If there is anything unsuitable, just tell the people below. After you have rested, we can talk slowly."
"Thank you ma'am for your consideration!"

Jin Qianqian waited until they all left before taking the gift list and letter from Minghe.
One of the letters was written to Gu Wenheng alone, and the other was written to the two boys.
Jin Qianqian put the letter aside, opened the gift list and took a look at it.
Apart from those prepared for the mansion, most of them were for the two children.
Jin Qianqian smiled and shook her head. Zhou Shixiong seemed to care about the two children.
His new wife will be pregnant soon, so the gift he gives her will be more generous.
"Madam, the maids have been settled." Lichun came over and replied.
"Send a few little girls over there to serve them, and when you have nothing to do, go over there and chat with them to see what their strengths are."
Jin Qianqian knew that Zhou Shixiong must have some strengths, which was why he sent him here. She could only rely on herself to understand the situation.
&
Lichun went to inquire about the news. Wei Jinhua and the others knew everything. During the chat, they revealed all their secrets.
Wei Jinhua is the one with the most background among them. She was the tea-serving aunt in the previous emperor's study. After the new emperor ascended the throne, she was transferred to the harem to take care of the ownerless palace. When she reached old age, she asked the empress to leave the palace to retire.
Yuan Yushu was the aunt in charge of the imperial kitchen, specializing in medicinal food. Originally, people like her were not allowed to leave the palace.
It was just that a few days ago, she helped the eldest prince to avoid a disaster, which invisibly hindered some people. The queen was grateful to her for bringing misfortune upon herself, and when Zhou Shixiong came to the palace to ask for help, she was also listed among them.
Ning Qingchu and Zuo Wan were not as conspicuous as the other two, but they were also old servants who had served in the palace for many years, and ordinary people could not get what they wanted.
After listening to these introductions, Jin Qianqian felt even more satisfied.
Ning Qingchu and Zuo Wan were immediately arranged in the two boys' courtyards respectively.
Yuan Yuzhuo let her manage the kitchen first, and would take her with him when he went out to attend banquets in the future.
Jin Qianqian was a bit troubled by the remaining Wei Jinhua. She found Lichun and said, "Madame Wei's abilities are really hard to be buried. I originally wanted her to manage the backyard, and I want you to go to East City to manage the business. What do you think?"
Lichun, "Madam, why don't you let Madam Wei choose?"
She knew that the lady's heart was still on her side, otherwise she wouldn't have asked this question.
"I do the same things wherever I am. As long as I am with Madam, there is no difference."
Jin Qianqian, "I don't want you to make the decision first. If you want to continue to be the internal manager, then I will let Wei Mama go to East City to take charge. But I prefer to let you go there."
There are only so many things to do in the inner courtyard, but it is different in East City. Jin Qianqian still wants her capable people to guard there.
Lichun, "Then I will go to East City. But I am a lowly person and my words are not taken seriously. I am afraid that I will not be able to convince the public."
"Everything has to have a beginning," Jin Qianqian smiled when she saw that she understood her thoughts, "You go over there and take charge of the account books there, and all other things outside can be handed over to Minghai.
I believe that you have followed me for so many years, and these little things will not be difficult for you. "
In previous years, the account books were always calculated by several older girls. Moreover, it was only an account book for a small area, so Lichun would definitely be able to handle it with ease.
"Then I will hand over all matters to Madam Wei in the next few days," Lichun knew that the East City was about to open, and some things should be handed over as soon as possible.
Jin Qianqian, "Take her to the courtyard to get familiar with it for a few days first, and remember to explain the situation of each mansion to her."
If the steward of the inner courtyard does a good job, the responsibilities of the mistress Jin Qianqian will be much easier.

Gu Wenheng was reading a letter from home. Gu Benluo poked his little head in from the door and found that Gu Wenheng just looked up at him. He then quietly moved his legs and took small steps to move behind him.
"Dad, is there a letter from my mom?" He stood on tiptoe and wanted to peek, but Gu Wenheng moved the letter aside.
His own wife is here saying sweet words to him, what are you looking at, you little brat?
"Dad, you have to tell me what my mother said. This letter is not just for you. My mother must be asking about me."
Gu Benluo was sure that it was his own mother's handwriting and stretched his neck further.
"Your mother has nothing to say to you. This is written to me." Gu Wenheng simply folded the letter, put it against his chest, and patted it when he was done.
"How is this possible? I am my mother's beloved son. I have been away for so long, and my mother doesn't know how to care about me.
Dad, I miss my mom, please give me the letter my mom gave me."
Gu Wenheng grabbed his collar and asked him to stand in front of him, "How dare you say that?
A few days ago, I wrote to your mother and asked you to write a letter back. What did you say? Do you want me, your father, to help you recall the past?"
Gu Benluo's eyes were a little evasive. What did he say at that time?
At that time, I seemed to be going out for a walk with a few brothers. In order not to be left behind by my brothers, I replied and said I would write later.
I seemed to have forgotten about this matter later, but now I feel a little guilty when I think about it.
