Chapter 236 Ji Family
Wen Zhenyi smiled and nodded: "Yes, I will make delicious food for you when I come back."
"Sister Wen, keep your word."
"Well, keep your word."
The afternoon meal delivery was over, and Lin Jie sent the two aunts back to the village.
The four people from the Ji family took down their beds, washed them, and replaced them with clean ones.
Wen Zhenyi saw that they worked very efficiently and they all went looking for things to do without her saying anything.
The heavy work was basically contracted by the father and son of the Ji family, which made Zhu Tao's life a lot easier.
After Aunt Ji and Ji Shuang washed the bed, they went to the kitchen to help and familiarize themselves with the tasks as soon as possible.
Shen Hanxing was drawing a blueprint on the table in the front hall. He didn't have time to teach Ji Hongguang how to keep accounts, so he asked him to help in the kitchen first until he finished his work.
As soon as Wen Zhen started preparing dinner, Aunt Ji and Ji Shuang wanted to help.
Zhu Tao smiled and said, "You can't help me with this, let Yi Yi do it herself."
Aunt Ji looked at her in confusion: "Why?"
"Mr. Shen only eats a lot of food cooked by her. He finds it hard to stomach the food cooked by others."
Ji Shuang stood beside the stove with a look of curiosity on his face, looking at the food made by Wen Zhenyi.
Their family was not from the vicinity of the town. They were sold by themselves and then sent to the pawnshop in Wenxia Town, so they were not familiar with Wen Zhenyi.
When they saw what she had made, both Aunt Ji and Ji Shuang were stunned. They had seen these things before, but they had never seen the method used to make them.
Wen Zhenyi explained the production steps to them while he was doing it.
Aunt Ji knew that it was Wen Zhenyi who was teaching them, and both of them took it very seriously.
When dinner was almost ready, brothers Shen Xiucai and Wen Yongnan also came back. Seeing a few unfamiliar faces in the store, they were a little confused.
Wen Yongnan went to the kitchen and asked, "Yi Yi, what are these?"
“Brother, this is the new person I bought, Uncle Ji’s family.”
"Did you buy someone?"
"Brother Shen will take the imperial examination next spring, and he needs to review his studies in advance, so I found an accountant. However, his family situation is a bit special, I'll tell you about it later."
Wen Yongnan nodded and helped her light the fire and prepare the dishes in the kitchen. However, his eyes were always looking at the people from the Ji family, wanting to see if they had any problems and whether they would endanger Wen Zhenyi's safety.
Wen Yongman went to find Shen Hanxing with cream in his arms, sat on the stool next to him, and looked at what he was drawing on the paper: "Brother Shen, what are you drawing?"
Shen Hanxing didn't look up, his hand still drawing his own picture: "I'm drawing the mansion."
"What's it for?"
Shen Hanxing put down the brush and turned to look at him: "Your sister didn't tell you that she bought a piece of land and planned to build a house?"
"Ah?" Wen Yong was surprised. "You are painting our house now?"
"Well, I'll try to see if I can draw it."
Wen Yongman moved closer, wanting to take a closer look at what he had drawn.
Chen Hanxing has already drawn the rough outline, but now he needs to optimize some things. He will try to make the house more comfortable and practical. There are still some places that need to be modified, so this can only be considered a rough draft.
Wen Yongman looked at the house on the paper. There were many courtyards inside, but it was no smaller than the private school they were in, and it seemed no smaller than Master Cheng's mansion. "Brother Shen, is it such a big house?"
Chen Hanxing smiled and nodded. "Yes, your sister bought a large piece of land." She pointed to several places and said, "This one is close to the official road, where they're building a shop. This one is close to the river, where they're planning to build a workshop. And this is where you're going to live."
"This big?"
"I'm afraid your sister is planning to build this place into her ancestral home."
Wen Yongman looked depressed: "I also said that when I grow up and make a lot of money, I will build a big house and bring Grandpa Shen and you all back to live, so that my sister can always be with us."
Shen Hanxing raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "Why?"
Wen Yongman said seriously, "This way no one will dare to bully her. We will all protect her."
"I won't bully her."
Wen Yongman looked at Shen Hanxing, was silent for a moment, and muttered softly: “If you bully her, I won’t let you go.”
Shen Hanxing sat very close to him, so he naturally heard what he said, but he didn't care at all, because he really wouldn't bully Wen Zhenyi.
Wen Zhenyi prepared the food and placed it on the table: "Brother Shen, Xiaoman, it's time to eat."
As soon as Naiyou heard that it was time for dinner, she immediately jumped out of Wen Yong's arms and ran to Wen Zhenyi with her little bowl in her mouth.
Wen Zhenyi looked down at it, squatted down, and poked its chubby little body with his finger: "Look, you've almost eaten yourself into a ball."
Cream rubbed her hand with her little head, looking flattering and cute.
Wen Zhenyi couldn't do anything about it, so he gave it some dried meat.
Cream was so happy that she kept giggling.
The Ji family stood beside the table and did not dare to go up to eat. They were servants now and there was no reason for them to eat at the same table with their master.
Wen Zhenyi saw them standing aside without moving: "Sit down and eat. I don't have so many rules here now. But I have to say this upfront. If you do anything to let me down, selling you out is no big deal."
The four people from the Ji family looked at Wen Zhenyi and smiled and spoke in a light tone, but they knew that if they really did something to let her down, their fate would not be as simple as being sold out.
Uncle Ji said quickly: "Miss, we won't do anything to let you down."
"Alright, time will tell. I hope that if you hesitate in the future, you will think about what you said today."
The Ji family was a little worried before. After all, Wen Zhenyi was too young. If she bought them back, would the elders in the family really not say anything?
But after arriving here, I found out that this shop belonged to the little girl in front of me, and she had also been commended by the emperor.
For them, this is something they dare not even think about.
Shen Xiucai watched the expressions of the Ji family from the side. If he found something wrong, he would not let Wen Zhenyi keep their family. After all, he did not want to see anything that would harm his granddaughter-in-law.
Wen Zhenyi knocked on the door as needed and said nothing more, asking them to sit down and eat.
The Ji family ate this meal very cautiously, not daring to take more dishes or eat more.
Wen Zhenyi simply used a spoon to serve each of them a large amount of food: "Eat well. If you don't eat enough, you won't have the energy to work. Even though this shop is small, there is still a lot of work to do."
The Ji family looked at the food in the bowl. Even when their lives were good, they would not dare to eat white rice or meat in such big mouthfuls.
