Chapter 586 Princess Mansion
Chen Qingqing nodded, paused for a moment, and then said, "Send someone to count the number of beggars and refugees in each town in the next few days."
Zhou Jingyuan no longer dared to guess Chen Qingqing's thoughts, "Princess, what do you mean by this?"
"Who would want to beg if they can have enough food to eat? I plan to unify the management of beggars and refugees. I can teach the young people survival skills, and the old people who are willing to farm can be given good land."
"Yes, I understand."
Zhou Jingyuan looked at Chen Qingqing with a bit more consideration. For a woman to have such insights has overturned his opinion of her.
If these ideas can be implemented, it will be a great thing for Anyang.
"Princess, I have already ordered the renovation of the Anyang mansion bestowed upon you by the Emperor. According to your salary, I have already assigned you servants, maids, and a housekeeper. You may move in anytime."
"Okay, send someone to take me over there to have a look."
Under the guidance of the yamen runners, Chen Qingqing came to the mansion awarded by the emperor.
It was a courtyard with three entrances and three exits, and the decoration was quite good. It was spotlessly clean and had all the servants and waiters needed.
Chen Qingqing was very satisfied. Although Nanshan Village was a nice place to live, it was too far from Anyang and inconvenient to travel to. With this house, she could avoid a lot of inconvenience.
"Greetings, Princess. May you live long and well..." More than a dozen servants and maids knelt down and saluted.
Chen Qingqing smiled slightly, "Everyone, get up quickly."
"Thank you, Princess."
Although Chen Qingqing likes to do everything by herself, she is a princess and how can she live without servants at home?
Looking at the people in front of me, I felt the need to say a few words, so I cleared my throat.
"I'm not a picky person, but I can't tolerate any injustice. Since you're working here, I won't treat you unfairly.
Go ahead and do your work with peace of mind. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to tell me. I will definitely help you solve them and I won’t stand idly by."
"Thank you, Princess. We will do our best to serve you." More than a dozen people agreed in unison.
"Okay, let's get busy!"
Chen Qingqing sent the servants away and saw a girl of about thirteen or fourteen still staying beside her. "You can go down too!"
"To answer your question, Princess, I was chosen by Lord Zhou to serve you personally." The little girl said timidly.
"Okay, you will follow me from now on." Chen Qingqing did not chase her away. If she did not have a maid by her side, she would indeed seem out of place in this feudal era.
This little girl is so cute and seems smart. Just treat her as an extra sister around.
"May I have your name?"
"Princess, I don't have a name yet. Please give me one."
"If you don't have a name, what do your family members call you?"
"I have no family. I've been sold here and there since I can remember. All the masters thought I was too young to do much work and I ate too much, so they were unwilling to keep me. Now I can't even remember how many times I've been sold."
After hearing what the little girl said, Chen Qingqing couldn't help but feel sad for her. She patted her shoulder gently and said, "From now on, your name will be Kexin. It means everything goes smoothly for you. Okay?"
"I like it. Thank you, Princess, for the name." Ke Xin grinned, revealing two cute dimples on her face.
"Kexin, don't call yourself a slave in front of me from now on. Just answer with 'I understand, I know'."
Ke Xin shook her head repeatedly, "No, no, a slave is a slave. How can I call myself "I" in front of the princess? Treason is punishable by death."
Chen Qingqing really couldn't stand hearing her being called a slave and a servant, and really wanted her to change, but since she was so resistant, she didn't force her.
"Okay, say whatever you want!"
"Yes, Princess."
What a timid girl.
Chen Qingqing ignored Ke Xin and walked around the princess's mansion before taking Ke Xin to Ruyi Tower.
In the past few days, she has been thinking about the investment and franchise of Ruyi Building.
Now Anyang has his own mansion, which is just right for helping Chen Feng to check things out.
Finalize the contract details and expand Ruyilou’s business.
At this time, the hall of Ruyi Building was bustling with people coming and going, and the food on the table was emitting an enticing aroma.
"Princess, it's too chaotic here. Let's go quickly. What if we meet bad guys?" Ke Xin looked around with her eyes flashing, and protected Chen Qingqing behind her thin back.
Chen Qingqing was touched by her actions and smiled with raised eyebrows, "Kexin, don't be afraid, I own this restaurant. There are no bad people here. I'll let you try some of the signature dishes here. I guarantee you'll love them."
Malatang, which is both spicy and numbing, is the favorite of girls of this age.
Ke Xin lowered her head and said, "Princess, I dare not."
Chen Qingqing suppressed her smile and pretended to be angry. "What are you afraid of? Just eat when I tell you to. Otherwise, if you make me unhappy, the consequences will be serious."
Seeing Chen Qingqing getting angry, Ke Xin hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I will listen to you, Princess."
She doesn't listen to kind words and only likes strictness. The title of this princess is indeed good, at least it can scare people.
As the two were talking, Chen Feng came over with a happy expression on his face.
"Little sister, when did you come to Anyang? I was just about to go back to Nanshan Village to invite you. Come on, come inside with me. I have something good to tell you."
"What's the matter? Is someone here to discuss joining us?" Chen Qingqing asked with a smile.
Chen Feng immediately gave her a thumbs up and praised, "Look, my little sister is so smart, I can't hide anything from you."
The two of them talked as they walked, and Ke Xin followed closely behind.
When he reached the door of the room reserved for Chen Qingqing, Chen Feng realized that Ke Xin was following behind him. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who are you? Why are you following us siblings?"
Chen Qingqing quickly spoke, "Brother, she is Kexin, the maid that Master Zhou chose for me."
"You scared me. I thought it was someone else's girl!" Chen Feng smiled embarrassedly, "Ke Xin, right? Come in quickly!"
After entering the house, Chen Qingqing briefly told Chen Feng that the princess's mansion had been renovated and was ready for habitation. At the end, she told him that if he had any problems in the future, he could go there directly to find her.
When Chen Feng heard that Chen Qingqing would be living in Anyang in the future, he almost jumped up with joy. "That's great! Now I don't have to run back and forth. Otherwise, I wouldn't know who Dabao and I are, and who is your real brother."
Chen Qingqing tilted her head, a face full of joking, "Brother, from what you said, it seems like you are jealous of Dabao!"
"I'm jealous to begin with. You care more about the sugar mill than the restaurant. Dabao's business is all over Daning Dynasty, while I only have a few restaurants. In my opinion, you focus all your energy on the sugar mill and don't care about the development of Ruyi Tower at all."
Chen Feng was anxious. He felt that he was always behind Dabao in everything. He always wanted to surpass Dabao and make his younger sister look at him differently...
