Chapter 442, Smart
After returning to the yard, Daohua looked at Shanqi carefully again. Thinking of the hot springs on the mountain, she felt very happy: "I must build a hot spring villa on the mountain."
After thinking for a while, he became distressed again.
The mountain is in the capital, but she is in Zhongzhou. They are too far apart. How can she manage it?
"We have to send someone over to see what the mountain looks like first." Then she would know how to plan.
Thinking of manpower, Daohua started to have a headache again.
She doesn't have many people under her command, and Qin Xiaoliu is the only one who can handle things independently outside. The personnel situation in the capital is complicated, so the people sent there must be smart and tactful.
For a while, she really had no one to choose.
“It’s true that one only realizes how little one has learned until one needs it!”
The end of the year is approaching, and when the village head and store manager come to hand in their accounts, she will have to see if there is anyone she can train.
Daohua pondered for a moment and asked Wang Maner to call Qin Xiaoliu over.
After a while, Daohua met Qin Xiaoliu outside and said, "Brother Xiaoliu, I need to trouble you to go to the capital."
Qin Xiaoliu was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "Miss, are you going to the capital to buy land and farms?" The girl loved buying land and farms the most. Apart from this, he couldn't think of any reason why the girl asked him to go to the capital.
Daohua found it a little funny when she heard this: "I, your daughter, can't stretch my arms that long, but it has something to do with this." As she said that, she handed the note with the address of the mountain to Qin Xiaoliu.
"This is my new hilltop. Please go and help me take a look at it. It would be best if you could draw a map of it and bring it back to me."
Qin Xiaoliu took the note and didn't ask where it came from. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, young lady. I will definitely find out everything about the mountain."
Daohua smiled and said, "When you come back from the capital, you should come back home to visit. You have been living in my house for so many years, but you haven't been back yet."
Hearing this, Qin Xiaoliu's expression suddenly brightened: "Thank you, young lady."
Daohua smiled and glanced at Wang Maner, asking her to send Qin Xiaoliu off.
Wang Maner bowed and retreated with Qin Xiaoliu.
After the two left, Daohua walked to the head of the bed, took out the carved sandalwood lacquer box from the secret box, and put the mountain deed in it.
Looking at the silver bills, land deeds and shop deeds in the box, Daohua showed a satisfied smile on her face.
Although she has been busy in the past few years, she has accumulated a lot of wealth.
Born in ancient times, although she had relatives who loved her, the sense of security that money brought her could not be compensated by anything else.
On the other side, after Wang Maner sent Qin Xiaoliu to Chuihua Gate, she was about to go back, but as soon as she turned around, she was stopped by Qin Xiaoliu.
"Man'er, I have something to tell you."
Wang Maner looked at him with a smile: "Go ahead and talk, I'm listening."
Qin Xiaoliu hesitated for a moment and said, "I've accumulated some wealth over the years following the girl. This time when I go home, I want to bring my parents and my younger brother and sister-in-law with me."
Wang Man'er smiled and said, "That's great. Having your parents here will help you stop missing your family. If I were to ask you, you should have gone with Qin Wu Ge and his family when they brought them here last year."
Qin Xiaoliu hesitated for a moment, then said awkwardly, "Not long ago, my mother sent me another letter, asking me when I'm going to get married. If they come, they'll definitely arrange something for me. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Wang Maner's face flushed immediately: "What do I mean? Anyway, I want to follow the girl." After saying that, she left as if escaping.
Watching Wang Man'er running away, Qin Xiaoliu felt a little worried. He was already twenty-two years old this year, and his parents were urging him to get married. However, Man'er was there to serve the young lady, and the maids around the young lady had never heard of her having a wife.
If he wanted to marry Man'er, he had to either wait for her to get married, but she was only thirteen years old and it would take her several years to get married; or he had to go to the girl and ask her to send Man'er away, but Man'er obviously didn't want to do that.
Oh, it seems that I have to have a good talk with my parents when they come.
Rice Flower Pavilion.
Seeing Wang Man'er coming back with a red face, Guyu immediately went over to her and joked, "Sister Man'er, what's wrong? Did Brother Xiaoliu say something to make you drunk before you even had a drink?"
Wang Man'er heard this and immediately made a move to hit someone: "You stupid girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"
The two men didn't dare to make a big noise, so they chased each other for a while and then stopped.
Guyu was always attentive. Seeing the worry on Wang Maner's face, she asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Did Xiaoliu make me angry?"
Wang Maner shook her head: "No."
Guyu: "What about you?"
Wang Man'er hesitated for a while, and still said: "Little Sixth Brother said that he would go home this year to bring his parents over." There weren't so many gossips in the girl's courtyard. Over the years, she got along well with Guyu and Lixia. They were not sisters, but better than sisters. When they had something on their minds, they would confide in each other.
Guyu smiled and said, "Isn't this good?"
Wang Maner sighed, "Little Six's parents are here, and they're going to have to arrange a marriage for him."
Guyu pursed her lips and smiled: "I thought it was something else. It's nothing. You and Xiaoliu brother are both serving the young lady. The young lady is a kind person. If you ask her for help, she will definitely agree."
Wang Maner: "I know the girl will agree, but I don't want to leave her."
Guyu was silent. Yes, the girl is not married yet, so she cannot have a wife around her.
Wang Maner said to herself: "Everything I have was given by the girl. In this life, I will go wherever the girl goes." After following the girl for these years, she has come to realize more and more that if a person wants to live a good and comfortable life, he must have confidence.
Her confidence comes from being a girl.
Without the girl, she would be an orphan without parents and no one to rely on. How could she gain a foothold in her husband's family?
Brother Xiaoliu is a good person, but who can guarantee that he will always be good to her?
In order to marry him, she had to leave the girl, but she couldn't and didn't want to do it.
Guyu thought for a moment and said, "Even if you marry Xiaoliu, you will still have the chance to come back and serve the young lady in the future."
Wang Maner smiled and shook her head: "Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to go and serve the young lady."
Looking at Wang Man'er's leaving back, Guyu's eyes moved slightly. He turned around and was about to do something, when he saw Biwei walking out from the next room.
Biwei looked at Guyu timidly: "Sister Guyu, I didn't mean it."
Guyu raised her hand to interrupt Biwei: "It's okay, but if I hear even a little bit of what you said just now somewhere else, I will assume that you said it."
Rich families value reputation the most. If it were to be known that a maid and a servant were having an affair, it would certainly damage the girl's reputation.
Bi Wei quickly said, "Don't worry, Sister Guyu, I will never tell anyone."
Guyu smiled faintly: "Okay, I believe you."
Seeing Guyu was about to leave, Biwei said, "Actually, I think Sister Man'er can marry Brother Xiaoliu first, and then when the girl gets married, she can come back to serve as a concubine. What do you think, Sister Guyu?"
Guyu looked at Biwei with a half-smile, "Don't worry about that." After a pause, he added, "You and Bishi were chosen by the young lady herself. Do you know why Bishi can now accompany her on outings, while you are still only able to do the rough work of serving tea and pouring water?"
Biwei's expression changed, and she bowed: "Please teach me, sister."
Guyu smiled and said, "Our girl is very opinionated. She values sincerity. You, on the other hand, have too many thoughts." After that, she left slowly.
Biwei stood there with her expression changing constantly.
Guyu walked to the eaves of the main house and saw Lixia lift the door curtain and come out with an embroidery tent: "What are you and Biwei whispering about?"
Guyu smiled and said, "She was thinking about things that shouldn't be done, so I said a few words to her." Relying on her cleverness, she dared to talk about Man'er.
You have to know that Man'er was the first one to serve the young lady. After following the young lady for all these years, she must have learned one or two points, if not three points of her cleverness. Does she still need her to teach her?
As long as Man'er stays with the girl, who would dare to look down on her, not only in their courtyard but also in the entire Yan Mansion's servants?
Marrying Xiaoliu Ge would indeed give her a chance to return to the girl, but at that time, would she still be the first person around the girl?
Choosing to stay with the girl is the real smart thing.
You must know that no matter whether it is Xiaoliu Ge or Maner, everything they have now is given by the girl.
