Chapter 60

While Sister Sister Xiren stayed by Jia Hui's side, gathering her courage and asking softly and cautiously, "My Lord, are we going to buy supplies for the mansion later?"

Because of what happened last night, their relationship had narrowed a lot.

So Sister Sister Xiren was much less nervous and fearful in front of Jia Hui.

She was a bit more calm and close.

Because they had just moved in,

many things were missing.

They definitely had to buy a lot of supplies.

Not to mention anything else,

just the food, drink, and clothing for 150 Henei soldiers needed to be considered and taken care of.

So Jia Hui nodded, "Yes, but not just for the mansion."

"Could it be, the betrothal gifts for the Qin family?"

Sister Sister Xiren's heart moved.

Jia Hui smiled: "Smart!"

"I don't know what women Love Love Like, so you two help me look and buy later."

"Yes!"

Sister Sister Xiren agreed obediently.

She had always been a bit infatuated; whoever she served, she only had that person in her heart.

Gentle and compliant, she didn't have too many thoughts about Qin Qin Qin Keqing, who hadn't married over yet.

She just wanted to help her master well.

At this time, Hearing Hearing Qingwen came in with a nanny carrying a food box.

There was an eight-immortal table in the room with equal lengths on all four sides and a wide tabletop.

They put the food down one by one.

There were porridge, cakes, noodle soup, pastries, etc., quite rich.

After putting things down,

the nanny was sent away by Hearing Hearing Qingwen.

Jia Hui was about to sit down and eat.

Hearing Hearing Qingwen reported: "My Lord, Jia Yun from yesterday has come to report."

Jia Hui paused slightly.

He lowered his head and looked at the mechanical watch he carried with him!

The hands were pointing at 9:10!

"When did he come?"

"We got up at the Mao hour, and he arrived at the Mao hour too."

Hearing Hearing Qingwen responded.

Jia Hui calculated.

Ancient times had twelve double-hours.

The Mao hour is sunrise, also known as the beginning of the day, dawn, morning sun, etc.

It refers to the time when the sun just shows its face and rises.

Roughly from 5 to 7 in the morning.

That was really early.

Jia Hui nodded, then said: "He must not have eaten breakfast when he came. Hearing Hearing Qingwen, call the nanny from just now and let her send some breakfast for him to eat first."

Now it was 9 o'clock, belonging to the Chen hour, also called the eating time. Also known as morning meal, etc.: the time for the ancients to have "morning meal," which is breakfast time, belonging to 07:00 to 09:00.

"Yes."

Hearing Hearing Qingwen agreed and left.

Jia Hui then sat down and said to Sister Sister Xiren: "Sit down and eat together."

"No, the slave cannot eat with you."

Sister Sister Xiren was startled.

She shook her head hurriedly.

Jia Hui joked: "Have you forgotten what happened last night?"

Sister Sister Xiren paused, then her pretty face turned red.

"My Lord is so good, thank you for your kindness, but Hearing Hearing Qingwen and I have already eaten early."

"How long has that been? Just accompany me and eat more; look at how thin you are."

Jia Hui said in an unquestionable tone.

Sister Sister Xiren had no choice but to sit down.

Then she took the whole plate of breakfast he handed her and started eating.

A piece of osmanthus cake.

So delicious.

Sweet and tasty!

In the past, Sister Sister Xiren had only eaten it a few times when Lady Jia rewarded her.

If bought outside,

this stack would cost half a tael of silver.

Half a month's salary.

So it was hard to come by.

Jia Hui said with disdain: "In the future, you can eat as much as you want; as my personal maid, don't look so thin, or people will think you're not full following me."

Although the words were disdainful, Sister Sister Xiren was very moved.

"Hmm, thank you, my Lord, you are so good."

Hearing Hearing Qingwen came back after finishing her errand and was also called to sit down and eat.

Hearing Hearing Qingwen was also quite moved.

She just felt that Jia Hui was the best master in the world.

He was so good to them.

And Jia Hui didn't take it to heart at all.

This was a trivial matter to him.

But it was a big deal to them.

It could be said that from today on,

his every word and action,

every move, would be highly valued by them in the mansion.

As time passed,

the world outside the mansion might be just Love Love Like this!

A man should be Love Love Like this!

After breakfast,

Jia Hui brought the two women out.

From the backyard of the east route,

they came to the front courtyard.

Then they walked to the Green Hall in the middle route.

At this time,

Sister Sister Xiren and Hearing Hearing Qingwen were shocked to find that there were many figures in the mansion!

There were personal guards with weapons!

There were servants who followed orders!

As people around him, Jia Hui naturally needed to explain to them: "They are my personal guards and servants, and they will all work in the mansion in the future. There are 100 personal guards and 50 servants. In addition, the commander of the personal guards is called Wei Xu."

"In the future, when you go out, you must bring at least a few personal guards with you."

The latter words were for the care and protection of the two women.

As his people,

he didn't want the two maids to be looked at and bullied outside.

If anyone was to bully them, it could only be him!

"Thank you, my Lord!..."

Sister Sister Xiren and Hearing Hearing Qingwen were surprised and moved when they heard this.

Originally, the Jia Fu was tens of thousands of square meters, and they felt empty, cold, and a little scared with only a dozen people.

Now it was good.

So many people.

And they were all strong and sturdy, looking Love Love Like elite soldiers who had been on the battlefield!

This was a style that even the Rong and Ning Prefectures didn't have!

They all felt very honored.

And they had soldiers guarding them when they went out.

This was a treatment that most young ladies didn't have!

Not only did they have a huge sense of security and their vanity was greatly satisfied!

They were also flattered!

They just felt that Jia Hui spoiled and liked them too much.

They couldn't help but have wild thoughts: "The Viscount must Love Love Like me very much; will he let me serve him in bed tonight? Should I agree, or agree?!"

Jia Hui didn't know what the two little heads were thinking, and after coming to the Green Hall and seeing Jia Yun,

he didn't exchange pleasantries.

He directly gave an order that shocked him and the two women!

[72] Procurement, betrothal money! Astronomical figures (3)

Green Hall!

Jia Yun, standing in the middle of the hall, looked surprised.

Sister Sister Xiren and Hearing Hearing Qingwen were both terrified.

Because Jia Hui's words were:

Let Jia Yun immediately dismiss Lin Gui and the others who were originally in the mansion.

And it was all of them!

For Jia Hui, it was naturally a trivial matter not worth mentioning.

But for these servants, it was a huge thing.

After all, they would also think about whether they would be dismissed too.

Dismissal sounded nice.

To put it bluntly, it was being driven away!

None of them wanted to be the one who was disliked and driven away by the master!

For one thing, they not only lost this job.

And,

the key was that after being driven away,

basically no one else would be willing to hire or buy these people!

In the eyes of others,

people who were disliked and driven away by their old master

must have big problems.

No one was willing to keep them!

Therefore, this was almost equal to a death sentence!

And besides being servants,

what else did they know?

They couldn't find work outside at all.

Therefore, Sister Sister Xiren and Hearing Hearing Qingwen were very panicked and uneasy.

Their awe of Jia Hui deepened.

Fearing that they would follow in their footsteps.

"What, can't do it?"

Jia Hui said indifferently.

"No, no, I'll do it right away."

Jia Yun said hurriedly.

He didn't want to fail the first thing he was entrusted with.

So he hardened his heart,

and was going to drive all ten of them away.

Anyway, he had no relationship with them.

Just when he was about to leave,

Jia Hui called him back: "Give each of them 5 taels of silver as severance pay."

Jia Yun was surprised when he heard this, then said: "The Viscount is benevolent!"

Indeed benevolent.

Although people were driven away,

it couldn't be blamed on Jia Hui.

Because they were not Jia Hui's subordinates in the first place.

But people who were originally in the mansion.

Therefore, dismissing them all, while cold, was beyond reproach.

Even if he didn't give a penny, it would be fine.

Jia Hui still gave money.

And it was five taels of silver, enough for a family to eat and drink for half a year.

It could be said to be quite generous.

With this money, they could at least settle down temporarily and find another way out.

They wouldn't end up on the street as soon as they were driven away.

Now it was the middle of winter.

Once they ended up on the street,

basically they would end up Love Love Like Hearing Hearing Qingwen, having to freeze or die of illness!

So Jia Yun felt a little relieved, thinking Jia Hui was a benevolent person.

Sister Sister Xiren and Hearing Hearing Qingwen also relaxed, confirming that their master was not the kind of person who was mean and ungrateful.

Jia Yun then left.

When he left, he was followed by Wei Xu.

Wei Xu brought the prepared money and a few personal guards.

If they dared to linger,

they would be beaten out with sticks!

Don't say.

Lin Gui and the others were shocked when they heard they were to be dismissed.
