Tian An asked Xiangtao to pack things for herself and Nanny Xiao, and prepared to let her accompany Nanny Xiao to the Duke's Mansion.
This little girl has been with her for a long time, and no one knows what went wrong, but she has developed a strong temper.
She was always quick-witted and unreasonable, and since she was his personal maid, the maids in the mansion were a little afraid of her.
Although Nanny Xiao is knowledgeable and experienced, she is old after all, and Tian An is afraid that something might happen to her.
With Xiangtao accompanying Nanny Xiao, she can feel more at ease, and let those stubborn servants in the Duke's Mansion have a taste of the little hot pepper.
After personally seeing the three people off, Tian An asked Lixiang to call Chunxi over. The divorce period was only a few months away, so some things should be prepared in advance.
After Lixiang left, Tian An picked out three jade bracelets with good water content from his jewelry box, and also took two agate bracelets and two gold bracelets.
She also asked Deng Xue to go to the storehouse to get six rolls of fine silk, a century-old ginseng that the Qin family had sent as a festival gift, two boxes of donkey-hide gelatin, a box of bird's nest, and a complete set of pearl head ornaments that she had specially asked the jewelry shop to send a few days ago.
When he was the only one left in the room, he took out the box where he usually kept his banknotes and took out four hundred taels of banknotes from it.
But he felt that "four" was unlucky, so he simply drew out two 100-liang notes and made a "six".
I put the banknotes on the table and had just put away the box when several people arrived.
After asking Deng Xue to put everything on the table, Tian An asked Chun Xi to sit next to him and took her hand to explain to her the things on the table one by one.
"These bracelets, bracelets, and head ornaments, you can wear them every day. How can a married woman not have a few pieces of jewelry?"
"Keep these pieces of cloth for yourself to make clothes. Even after you get married, don't settle for less. Always look beautiful every day."
"This old ginseng is a hundred years old. Keep it well. It can save your life in a critical moment."
"Don't be reluctant to eat donkey hide gelatin and bird's nest after you get married. Girls should know how to take care of their bodies."
Finally, he took the six hundred taels of silver note and placed it in her hand. "I won't give it to Chen Feng. He'll give it to you anyway, so there's no need to bother him again."
Chunxi felt a soreness in her throat and opened her mouth several times before she could hold back her sobs. "Miss, what have I done to deserve this?"
The things Tian An gave were enough to marry off a maid, not to mention a daughter of a country landlord.
The dowry that an ordinary master would give to a maid would not only include banknotes, cloth and ginseng, but a gold bracelet would be considered good enough.
Chun Xi knelt on the ground and couldn't help crying on Tian An's knees, "Miss, meeting you is the greatest luck in my life."
Tian An patted her back soothingly, "Okay, you're going to be a bride soon, how can you cry like this!
Hurry up and wipe your tears. I have something important to tell you!"
Chunxi raised her head, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and forced a smile, saying, "Miss, if you have anything to ask, just tell me. Chunxi will definitely do it for you beautifully."
Tian An picked up his handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, which were still a little wet, before he slowly said, "In a few months I will be leaving the General's Mansion.
My father may never remarry in this lifetime, and it's still early for Xiaokang and Xiaoqi to get married. There are many things in the mansion that need to be taken care of. I don't trust others, so after thinking it over, I can only leave it to you."
Chun Xi was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Miss, you won't take me with you?"
Tian An sighed, leaned over and hugged Chun Xi, resting his chin on her shoulder. After a moment, he stood up and said:
"You, Mangzhong, and Chen Feng were the first three to follow me. It's been so many years, and I really don't want to leave you.
But if I take all of you with me, there will be no one left in the general's mansion.
Don't worry, I won't let you guard the general's mansion all the time. After Xiaokang and Xiaoqi get married, there will be a new mistress in the mansion.
If you and Chen Feng are still willing to come back to me by then, the position of housekeeper will still be yours.
If you want to go out and live your own life, I will give you the original indenture and cancel your slavery with the government.
You can live a good life with this money."
They anticipated that the new mistress might not trust these old people in the future, so instead of letting them feel awkward and uncomfortable in the mansion, they decided to take them out.
At that time, it will be up to them to choose whether to continue the master-servant relationship or set them free.
Tian An had almost thought of all the escape routes for Chun Xi and Chen Feng.
These words made Chunxi burst into tears again. She couldn't stop crying. After a long time, she stopped crying and made a promise to Tian An.
"Don't worry, Miss. I will definitely take good care of the General's Mansion for you, and take good care of the Master and the Young Master."
After hearing her assurance, Tian An felt a little relieved.
He personally pulled her up and talked about other things, "These things can be put on hold for now. Right now, I have more important things for you to do."
"Miss, please give your orders." Chun Xi said respectfully.
Tian An rubbed his brows, sighed, and continued, "The Duke's Mansion is full of monsters and demons. I'm sure I can't handle the people there. I want you to buy some more people and train them in the next few months. I'll take them with me when the time comes."
As he spoke, he teased Chunxi, "You and Madam Xiao have been studying for so long, it's time to test the results."
This was also because Jingyu came to borrow talents today to remind her, otherwise it might take her some time to think of this.
Chun Xi said confidently, "Don't worry, Miss. I will definitely select each person for you and train them so that you can use them smoothly and happily."
After talking so much with Chunxi, Tian An asked Lixiang to call Mangzhong and talk to her about opening a doll shop.
She doesn't have to worry about the store's affairs. She only needs to prepare the doll samples. This time, Tian An plans to let her design the doll herself.
Mangzhong was surprised and happy when he heard the news. He was happy that Tian An thought highly of him, but he was also afraid that he would not do well.
Tian An was very confident in her and told her to just go for it, "The Dragon Boat Festival next month is a good opportunity, we can open on that day.
You can design a series based on the Dragon Boat Festival, and the rest can follow the previous style.
After that, we just need to ensure that we release a new product every quarter.”
Coming out of Tian'anyuan, they still felt a little bit dizzy. Today was really a good day for the two sisters!
After settling a few more matters, Tian An stood up and stretched his arms and legs, preparing to personally make lunch for Zhao Yiming and deliver it to him.
No wonder he looked much thinner when the top scholar was paraded through the streets last time.
The two of them used the White Eagle to send messages every day. He didn't even tell me that he didn't have enough to eat. He was really a man who was so obsessed with face that he suffered in vain.
