Chapter 47 We made a fortune again today!
Wen Jiu looked at him in surprise. He looked too young, and she thought he was only twelve or thirteen.
"Now that you've been assigned to my place, you should know that I'm a concubine. The work here isn't easy. I don't ask for anything else, just two things: diligence and loyalty. If you can't do that, you can leave now."
As soon as these words came out, the two men's faces turned pale and they immediately kowtowed: "Your servants will swear to be loyal to you until death."
Both of them are veterans of the Fourth Prince's Mansion. Who wouldn't know the name of the head maid in charge of the front yard?
This man had a black heart, and neither of them dared to imagine the consequences of betraying her.
"You don't need to express your determination. Meeting and parting are predestined. If there ever comes a day when a better path opens up, we can part ways amicably."
Seeing that the two of them wanted to bow in panic, Wenjiu immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't bow, get up.
Once you enter my house, you'll be a family. As long as you don't make any mistakes, I'll keep you safe within my ability.
Hawthorn, each person will be rewarded with a golden bean."
Shanzha was stunned, and the next second, Wenjiu stuffed a heavy purse into her hand, which was full of golden beans. Shanzha did not show it on her face, but she was frightened in her heart.
It is said that this purse was given to Wenjiu by her father. Wenjiu was also shocked when she opened it.
Her second uncle also gave her golden melon seeds and delicious pine nut candies.
These pine nuts are very difficult to pick, and the nobles in the palace don’t often eat them.
I don’t know how my second uncle got such a big purse and put it in it for myself along with the golden melon seeds.
And my aunt, she gave me some banknotes and some gems of various colors that were hard to identify, probably for me to use.
How lucky I am to have such a relative
If she doesn't get better, she will really let down those who care about her.
"Thank you, young lady."
The two of them accepted it with great trepidation, as if they couldn't believe that they had really won golden beans.
Just now they saw clearly that the reward the girl gave to Dongxia, who sent the clothes, was all small change.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
This was the first time Wenjiu had done something to win people's hearts.
To be honest, even if you haven't seen pork, you have seen a pig run. It's just a slap in the face and a sweet date.
To her surprise, the heart on the little eunuch's head actually turned slightly pink.
This caused Wenjiu to look at him several times.
When Xiaodouzi saw Wenjiu looking at him, he immediately straightened his back.
This was the first time he had received a reward. He had only done menial jobs before, so who would look him in the eye?
It was the first time someone said that he would be safe.
Regardless of whether this extremely beautiful master was sincere or not, even if she was lying to him, he couldn't help but want to believe her.
"Our yard is a bit out of the way, but it's not small. Let's go out and look for a place for you to stay."
As he spoke, Wenjiu picked up the cloak himself.
Shanzha immediately took it, helped her tie it, and helped her out the door with the warm wine.
Qingliang Pavilion, named after its coolness, was originally built for summer vacation.
A lake was built in the middle of the courtyard, and rockery and pavilions were placed scattered around.
The three main rooms are all two-story buildings. In order to avoid the heat and provide ventilation, there are no windows on the upper floor.
Summer is naturally a good place.
But living in this house without floor heating in winter is so cold that you could freeze to death.
Wenjiu lived in the main house on the first floor, which was the most tightly guarded room.
Shanzha always slept with Wenjiu. After the Fourth Master stayed overnight, Shanzha could no longer sleep on the bed. She often spent a night on the small couch outside, but it was not a long-term solution.
After taking a look around, Wen Jiu took a fancy to a row of five small rooms next to the woodshed in the southwest corner.
The windows of this compartment are small, so the wind and snow cannot blow in.
The woodshed was not far away. Although there was no warm couch inside, there was a stove. If they were cold, they could use some wood to keep warm. So they were allowed to choose a room each.
When he returned to his cold room, Wenjiu frowned.
The room was better than the two next to it, but after all, it was a place for cooling off in the summer, and even now that there was a charcoal fire burning inside, it still felt chilly.
"I'm moving to the wing room today too. Remember there's a smaller room with a fire wall. You can set it on fire later."
Upon hearing this, several people were shocked.
"Sister...girl, how can this be possible?" Shanzha's face was full of disapproval.
The other two also nodded hurriedly, expressing their agreement with Shanzha's words.
Master, you should live in the main house, not in the same row of side rooms with them.
Wen Jiu spread his hands and said, "I have to live here. This room is too cold. I can freeze to death. When the prince comes, I will go to the main room."
If it was really the Fourth Master who came, then the room couldn't be cold. The charcoal fire was burning warmly.
"If you feel cold, young lady, I will find a way to build a warm wall in your bedroom. You don't have to move it to the small room." Nanny Song asked carefully.
After spending some time with him, I felt that the new master was not as difficult to serve as outsiders said, so I relaxed a little.
Wenjiu looked back at her: "Can you build a warm wall?"
"My family is from the north, and I often did rough labor when I was young. I just saw some leftover clay in the southwest corner outside. I think I could give it a try."
Wen Jiu's eyes sparkled: "Do you know how to build a ground heating system? It doesn't have to be too elaborate, just the kind of earthen kang in the north will do."
Nanny Song was stunned for a moment: "Miss, you want to build a warm bed?"
Wenjiu nodded immediately: "Well, is that okay?"
Nanny Song looked at the house and shook her head: "Miss, this house is not good. There is too much wood, especially on the second floor, which is full of wooden beams. It will easily catch fire. Besides, there is no place to vent the smoke."
It would be fine if we just built a fire wall, went out through the window, and asked someone to watch it carefully when it started, so there wouldn't be any leaks.
If you use too little firewood to warm the couch, it won't be hot enough, but if you use too much firewood, accidents can easily happen.
Besides, it's not a good look. What would it look like if the prince saw it?
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "Not in this room, but in the small wing next to it. I saw there's a place for smoke exhaust there."
"That room is fine, but the girl doesn't live in the main house..."
"It's okay," Wenjiu interrupted her, "Come on, let's work together and try to get me a warm room to sleep in tomorrow night."
She had had enough of this cold big house.
"yes."
The other three were all a little worried.
Shanzha felt that since they didn't even have a capable man, they couldn't possibly do such a big job. But since her sister said so, she decided to give it a try.
Nanny Song and Xiaodouzi also disagreed with their master living in the small room, but since they had just arrived, they had no way to persuade him, and naturally they did not dare to disobey the order.
Wenjiu was a very enthusiastic person. She asked a few people to plan the size of the couch. After giving the order, they started working in full swing.
Hawthorn went to clean the warm room.
Nanny Song dug the soil and mixed the mud.
Xiaodouzi carried the clay blocks to the door of the house one by one.
Wen Jiulu wanted to help, but was sent back into the house by several people.
Well, she didn't want to distract them. Instead, she went to the second floor with her clothes in her hand, intending to take down the bamboo mat from the room. When the kang was built, it would be perfect to cover it with it.
[Master, we made a fortune again today!]
Xiao Jin suddenly jumped out, with the seven hearts of different sizes he earned today hanging on his body, and he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
"These two small ones are from Hawthorn, these three are from Fourteenth Prince, and these two are from Emperor Star." He held them one by one and counted them.
The Fourth Master’s love was so great, even greater than Xiao Jin’s, that it couldn’t hold him, so it lay on top of him with an intoxicated look on its face.
