Chapter 538: Hou Mansion: Living there for too long can easily lead to loss
Xin An had said early on about the arrangements for the farm that as long as it did not delay the harvest of grain, it was allowed to grow some vegetables and raise some chickens and ducks on the farm, and they would all belong to her. However, if it involved feeding the animals in large quantities of grain, half of the profits would belong to her, and the remaining half would be distributed by the farm itself.
"This year's greenhouse should be similar to last year's. Get ready early. If you don't have enough money, come to Nanfeng."
Manager Yang said that the money was enough, and all the items purchased last year could be used. The vegetable seeds had been left over long ago, and there was more manure this year, so the vegetables would be better than last year.
"I feel relieved that you are watching over Zhuangzi."
After saying these things, Xin An mentioned the main purpose of his visit today. "I asked you to come here today for something. I have a farm that I just acquired. It is 300 miles away from Kyoto. Go back today and arrange your work. I will send someone to go with you to take a look. From now on, the farm will be under your management."
"The autumn crops from that farm will not belong to us this year, and we don't want the manager there either. You can just pick another helper."
Manager Yang was overjoyed and bowed, "Yes, I will live up to the Second Young Master's Madam's trust."
It's extremely lucky to have a master who only takes money and doesn't do anything. The Marquis's Mansion doesn't send people to supervise him or exploit him at every turn. He has lived a very comfortable life over the past year.
Xin An asked about Master Xiao Lin's flower garden. Master Xiao Lin said that this year, there are three more varieties of chrysanthemums, which will be available in half a month at most. "Thanks to the care of the Marquis' Mansion, our flower garden business has been good. Manager Yang has allocated a piece of land for us. Now we not only have more flowers, but also more varieties."
"Last year, the greenhouse was set up at Xin's house, which was quite inconvenient. I would like to discuss with the Second Young Master's wife whether it is possible for her to also set up the greenhouse at the farmhouse?"
Xin An had no objection. "Okay, you can discuss this with Manager Xiao Wang. During the New Year holidays, each family will need a few pots of flowers. You should pay attention to this matter."
"You have seen my situation. It is very inconvenient. The Second Young Master is busy on duty and is not free. I have handed the matter over to you, which shows my trust in you. I will not let anyone supervise you. You must take responsibility."
Manager Yang and Manager Xiao Lin bowed again, and after they left, Xin An went to find Wang. At this time, Wang was leading Zhao to look for husbands for Tang Quan'er and her two sisters.
Two officials from the court came to the mansion to get books on Tang Gang's orders. They understood what Tang Gang meant and had no objection to getting close to Tang Gang, so they specially packed up when they came today.
"Please come this way, my lords."
"My two lords, take care."
Xin An came at the wrong time. Manager Zhang led the two out of the door. Wang and Zhao were discussing in the hall. The three sisters also came out from behind the screen. Some were shy, while others were beautiful. Zhao was very happy and said that the two little adults were very good. "They are both handsome, have academic achievements and talents, and have a moderate family background. The girl will not be wronged if she marries them."
Wang also thought it was a good idea. It was rare that Tang Gang had done something special. "I'll talk to my eldest brother later. If he thinks it's a good idea, we'll take the next step."
"OK."
Zhao was very happy. When she saw Xin An coming, she said a few words of concern to her and then left with the three girls.
Xin An was curious, "Are those two really that good?"
“It’s the most suitable.”
Wang also found many young men for the three sisters, all of whom came from higher family backgrounds than these two. However, people from such families would not have an easy life once they entered the palace, as they would be cannibalized.
"These two families are not very wealthy, so maybe they need to add some money, but their lives will be much smoother now."
"Besides, these two are young and have a long career ahead of them."
Xin An smiled and said, "Whatever my mother has seen must be good."
Wang sighed, "We have to find a good family for someone who has come all the way here."
As a woman, she also wanted the three girls to live an easy life in the future, but Tang Yu didn't think so. After Zhao told her happily, he didn't say anything for a long time.
Zhao understood him, "But do you think they are from poor families and low-ranking officials?"
Tang Yu said that the three sisters were, after all, daughters of a marquisate, and that they should marry someone from a noble family, if not a family of honor. "These two are really too low."
"But after living in the Marquis' Mansion for a long time, do you think you are the master of the Mansion?"
Zhao smiled and exposed him, "If we had not come to the capital, I would ask you, if these two men came to propose marriage today, would you still be disgusted?"
Tang Yu was speechless.
Zhao said, "The mansion belongs to Tang Gang, not to us. We are commoners. If the three sisters are his biological daughters, even the son of the Prime Minister would be worthy of them."
"You and I should rely on the Tang Nan brothers."
"Right now, such a family is the best choice. We can also choose those families with prominent officials, but they are just the second son or illegitimate son."
Zhao had been looking for a date and knew the market best. As they had been married for decades, he understood Tang Yu very well, so he was not angry. "Decide on one first, and we can wait and see about the rest. When the brothers have achieved success, we can choose one. Don't be in a hurry, take your time."
Tang Yu nodded, "Thanks to you, I have lived to this age in vain."
"You are in a hurry. Once the marriage is settled, we will move out. The house over there will be ready soon."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
It’s easy to get lost if you live in a marquis’s mansion for too long.
Tang Yu was reluctant, but nodded anyway. Tang Gang had finally been willing to give his clan members a chance, and he didn't want to ruin the situation because of himself.
The city was getting more and more lively. In order to keep Xin An from getting bored, Nan Feng sent people out every day to find out what was new and tell her about it. One day, Nan Feng was talking about the excitement on the street again. Wang came over with a smile and said that the palace was going to hold a banquet for the envoys, and the Marquis' Mansion was also invited. "How is your stomach? Can you take a trip?"
Xin An shook his head. "If I go, I'll just sit there and smile apologetically. I won't go."
She is feeling very uncomfortable now. Apart from other things, she has to urinate more often than before.
Wang thought it was okay not to go. It was not a big deal for the Marquis's Mansion, and that was not her purpose of coming here. "Can your second uncle understand what those curly-haired people are saying?"
"It should be."
Xin An said: "When my second uncle was in Huaijiang, he had a lot of contact with those people from overseas. In order to facilitate business, he learned some of their words. Is there any need?"
Wang didn't know the inside story either, she just said that Tang Gang sent someone to Xin's house to invite someone, but the person was not there, "It is said that the court officials are anxious to find someone who can speak Nanluo language, but I don't know where your second uncle went?"
"I know where my second uncle and the others are."
Xin An became excited and said that it is good to have many skills. Learning a little bit of everything will come in handy sooner or later. "I'll ask someone to find it now."
Xin An raised her eyes and was about to give orders, but Wang stopped her and said, "Go find the second son first and ask him to take your second uncle to find your father. It's not easy for your second uncle to enter the government office."
"good."
Nanfeng quickly left the house. Xin An's eyes were filled with joy. As long as she told her second uncle about the matter, he would naturally know what to do.
She thought she was just helping with the translation, but she never expected that an even bigger surprise was waiting for her.
