The group left the village and returned home.
"Steward Li, take Accountant Song and Steward Wei and sort out the accounts on the estate."
Tomorrow, take Xu Ping and Xu An to the estate again so they can familiarize themselves with the place. For the next few days, let them stay at the estate with Jia Yong; it can't be left unattended.”
Mu Yi'an thought for a moment and realized that the family members needed to be reassigned.
Xu Wu and his wife need to be transferred back to guard the estate here. The county town will be temporarily entrusted to Jiang Shuhe and his cousin Wang; their character is trustworthy.
We'll have Manager Wei make a few more trips and communicate in a timely manner; there shouldn't be any problems.
Another thing is to go back to Jiangjia Village and ask if anyone wants to be a farmhand or a helper.
On the estate, there must be people of one's own, plus tenants, to keep each other in check.
"Understood, madam. After we finish these two things, shall we head back to the county town?"
"Okay, go and bring Xu Wu and the others back. They've already taken care of things in the county town. Hand them over to Steward Jiang and Steward Wang for now."
Have Manager Wei stay there until Manager Zhou takes the watermelons and cantaloupes away, then come back. He can work with Uncle Li to plant soybeans in all the melon fields later this year.”
Butler Li accepted the task and went downstairs.
Mu Yi'an went to check on the three children's rooms.
"Mom, I'll finish writing soon and go to sleep in a bit."
"Okay, don't stay up too late, it'll hurt your eyes."
Shao Ming has strong self-discipline and loves reading, but Mu Yi'an is afraid that he will study too hard and harm his health.
"I understand, Mother, it will take about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea."
Mu Yi'an left Shao Ming's study and went into Shao Yun's.
"Whoosh..."
The study was pitch black, while the bedroom emitted steady breathing sounds, indicating that the patient was fast asleep.
Every day after returning from school, Shao Yun would practice martial arts for a while before going to bed.
I slept soundly after expending all my energy.
I wonder if Chuyue is asleep yet. That little girl has so much energy.
I listened at the doorway for a moment, but there was no sound. I could faintly hear breathing.
Mu Yi'an gently pushed the door open and went in. On the bed, Chu Yue was sleeping peacefully.
"Only when I'm sleeping can I be quiet for a while, and I sleep like a little angel."
Mu Yi'an muttered to herself as she left Chu Yue's room.
Are the children asleep?
Jiang Shuyun was reviewing a student's essay, which she hadn't finished reviewing at the academy and brought back for further review.
"Shao Ming should be able to finish writing in about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Shao Yun and Chu Yue are both asleep. How much more do you have? Can you finish approving it today?"
"Just one more article, it'll be done in a bit."
Mu Yi'an went into the bedroom first, while Jiang Shuyun focused on grading homework.
"Is it all done?"
"Yes, it's all approved. Approving articles is quite troublesome; they require careful consideration."
Jiang Shuyun stretched her muscles; sitting for so long had made her muscles sore.
"Shuyun, I've asked Steward Li to take Steward Wei back to the county town. We're short-handed on the estate, so we need to bring Xu Wu and his wife back."
This also allows Steward Wei and Uncle Li to familiarize themselves with the procedures on the estate. From now on, this area in the prefectural city will be operated according to the model used in the county town.
"That's great, you don't need to put too much effort into figuring out the business model. It's a bit like a modern chain store, you just follow a set formula."
Jiang Shuyun didn't understand these things, just as Mu Yi'an didn't understand his critiques of articles. However, this didn't prevent the couple from understanding each other's actions.
You don't need to really understand each other's majors; just knowing what each other is doing is enough.
"Shuyun, write a letter to your third grandfather and father. Ask your third grandfather to recommend a few farmhands. Couples can come together, and those with children can bring their children. The only requirement is that they are honest, hardworking, and obedient."
Ask my parents if the house is ready, and then they can come and stay for a while. It's not too hot this time of year, so the boat trip will be more comfortable.
Mu Yi'an felt that the people her third grandfather had chosen were trustworthy. Now that things were settled at home, it was only right to invite her parents over.
"Okay, I'll write it tomorrow. Let's go to sleep."
"Jiang Shuyun, let's call a truce today."
Mu Yi'an was really exhausted. There were many things to do next, and she needed to rest and recharge.
“I know, I need to rest too. You think your man is always so energetic? I need to rest too, so I can maintain the quality and quantity of my work.”
Jiang Shuyun realized she had gone a bit too far lately, which startled Yi'an.
"Stop being silly, go to sleep now."
Mu Yi'an glared at Jiang Shuyun, thinking she was becoming more and more childish.
The next day, Steward Li escorted Xu Ping and the others to the estate.
"Madam said to have your parents come over, and you all go and look after the estate. During this time, take your time to wander around and get familiar with the estate."
I'm going back to the county town tomorrow, and I'll bring your parents and other people with me. You should all try to learn to read more; it'll be useful later.
"Understood, Uncle Li."
Xu An and the other younger generation all called Steward Li Uncle Li.
After delivering the man, Steward Li told the tenants working on the estate that this was someone sent by the master to familiarize himself with the affairs of the estate.
The tenants didn't react much, as there was already a manager on the estate.
"Alright, I'm going back now. You three, watch yourselves and be mindful of your actions. Keep your distance from the young women in the village, or you'll face the consequences if bad rumors spread."
Butler Li said in advance that they were all young people, and they should be mindful of their actions.
"Butler Li, don't worry, we understand."
Jia Yong was the oldest and had experienced some things, so he understood what Manager Li meant.
Butler Li left, and he still had to go back to pack his luggage; he was going back to the county town tomorrow.
Mu Yi'an prepared small gifts for her parents, Jiang's parents, her brother and sister-in-law, and her child.
