"I think this is good." Jiang Ruhua nodded after listening to her words, but still insisted on her own opinion, "It's just a manor, why bother with so much trouble, it doesn't matter anyway, the important thing is to entertain Her Royal Highness the Princess first."
"Miss..." Nanny Wang pretended to be earnest and advised, "The manor has to make a living after all, you are like this, only..."
"I know, but this is all matter for the future, it doesn't matter at this moment, how could anything go wrong? Nanny, don't worry, I have also looked at the account, it can't be done only this once, nothing can go wrong, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Seeing this, Nanny Wang stopped persuading her, said yes honestly and left, turned around and quietly told the third lady what happened today.
"You've done a good job. Just keep doing it this way." The Third Madam smiled and said, "She can do whatever she wants. She has her reasons. You can just say it symbolically."
The manor needs to make money. The main business of this manor with a horse ranch is selling horses. The horse ranch is just a place where the horses move around every day. Although it is novel, there is nothing to see. After Jiang Ruohua went there, she made a lot of changes. This month's revenue will definitely be ruined by her.
But the revenue of one or two months is nothing. She has spent more than ten years trying to get rid of the things left by the bastard surnamed Wen. Now it is just the right time to treat them. Let them suffer and go hungry, and they will understand who they should be loyal to!
Just let Jiang Ruohua suffer for a few months.
After Nanny Wang left, Jiang Ruohua sighed as she looked at her dwindling savings. She didn't have much money left over the years.
Fortunately, the plan was sufficient. After putting away the banknotes, Jiang Ruohua took a deep breath. It would be almost enough in a few days.
Most of the horses raised in the farm were forced to be sold by her. The reason given was that there were too many horses to entertain guests and the smell was too strong. Except for the good horses, all the others were sold regardless of whether they could be sold or not. This time, six or seven out of ten horses in the horse farm were cleared out. Originally, they could be sold at a good price, but now many of them could not even make back the cost of feeding and raising horses.
Not only that, the layout of the manor was greatly changed. The redundant stables were demolished and replaced with brick and tile houses. After the smell was removed, the horse ranch was expanded, saddles and equipment were added, and the furniture that Jiang Ruohua sent to the manor was added. The manor was transformed into a big place. Not only was the horse ranch bigger, but attics and pavilions were built next to it.
In order to entertain the princess, a big fight was made, regardless of the lives of the people in the manor. It looked decent, but it emptied the money and cut off the money supply of the manor.
It was inevitable that there was resentment, but the manor was Miss Wen's dowry after all, and it was reasonable that these things fell into the hands of her daughter after Miss Wen's death. The servants in the manor were in a dilemma and resentful. They listened to the orders and did things, but they couldn't help but rebel in their hearts.
This matter was not a small one, and even Jiang Ruoting came to give a few words of hypocritical advice, but Jiang Ruohua remained unmoved: "But after all, it is to entertain Her Royal Highness the Princess, and we can't just buy a few things and leave them there."
"At worst, we can change it back later." Jiang Ruohua said to the people around him with a smile, "It's only one or two months, it's not a big deal."
This was a newborn ox that was not afraid of a tiger. The third wife made the decision and let her do whatever she wanted, and turned around and told Jiang Ruoting to prepare well.
"Mother, is it okay for my daughter to be like this?"
The night before the trip, Jiang Ruoting looked at herself cautiously, a little uneasy.
"You just need to perform well according to what you have learned." The third wife looked at her daughter who had undergone a new transformation with satisfaction and nodded, "Ting'er, you must remember that this is a great opportunity for Princess Shangyang to notice you. Jiang Ruohua has made the manor a mess. Even if nothing can be seen on the surface, there must be people talking about it behind the scenes. You just need to be compassionate and kind. As long as Her Royal Highness the Princess sees you, you will be the best one."
"In this way, Jiang Ruohua will be my foil. She is extravagant and does not care about the life and death of the manor. Only I am kind and compassionate and cannot bear to see these servants suffer."
"Yes." The third lady nodded. "By then, no matter how much she saved the princess' life, it can't cover up her ugly behavior of squandering money to please the princess. With her as a foil for you, you will definitely stand out. As long as Princess Shangyang sees your good qualities, maybe the position of tutor will fall on you."
Jiang Ruoting was excited. Being the tutor of the legitimate princess was a great honor and a recognition. She also had the opportunity to come into contact with the princes. She must grab this opportunity. It was more important than making friends with Xie Shuyan and the others!
Compared to Jiang Ruoting's careful preparation, Jiang Ruohua went to bed early today. If she asked for leave once, she would do it again. Xu Weiqing, as her master, seemed to have reduced his troubles for Jiang Ruohua. Perhaps he also found out that Jiang Ruohua was so submissive in his hands, not because she was afraid of him, but because she was too rational and indifferent.
Any scolding had never had any effect on Jiang Ruohua. Xu Weiqing, who could make Hu Xingxing cry with three sentences, could not do anything to Jiang Ruohua even with thirty sentences.
Not only could he not do anything to Jiang Ruohua, but Jiang Ruohua's progress was also very scary. Any unpleasant words seemed to have never existed in her ears. As long as she could learn something, she would continue to persevere. Over time, Xu Weiqing seemed to be more indifferent than before.
Jiang Ruohua was like a soft nail, nailed in Xu Weiqing's world, forcibly holding up a place for Xu Weiqing, making Xu Weiqing unable to move.
Hu Xingxing once tried to secretly imitate Jiang Ruohua to resist Xu Weiqing's unwarranted abuse, but all ended in failure. Xu Weiqing's mouth was really too stinky. Not only were his words unpleasant, but every word was like a pearl, and it was like a knife stabbing into the heart repeatedly. It was not something Hu Xingxing could hold on to. After listening to a few words, her inner feelings could not be restrained and burst out.
This made Hu Xingxing understand that Jiang Ruohua was really unmoved and never pretended.
The little girl squatted in the corner and sulked, complaining that the heaven was unfair. Her stomach also began to growl. She realized later that Jiang Ruohua was not coming, and she would be hungry at night, which made her even more depressed.
"Brother, I'm so hungry." Hu Xingxing said to Ah Yao who was standing beside her.
Ah Yao looked at her, then glanced at Xu Weiqing who was already drunk, and silently left some money, then said: "I have something to do in the next few days, and the master depends on you to take care of him."
Hu Xingxing was stunned: "You are leaving too?!!"
Ah Yao nodded and left. Hu Xingxing chased him and stomped her feet. One by one, two of them left! How could she handle the master alone!
It's so bad!
