Chapter 402 The first meeting(1/2)
The next morning, after helping Sister Feng get up and replying to the four or five wives in charge, Ping'er had a car prepared and headed for Dongfu.
Although she kept convincing herself that she was helping Sister Feng guard the shop to make a living, she still felt a little panicked when the carriage left the West Mansion and headed towards the East Mansion.
I always feel like something has quietly changed.
After arriving at Jia Qiang Courtyard, I saw him boxing in the courtyard.
It's just that this punch is interesting. It's not like the fierce punch of a tiger, but it's slow, like an old man moving his muscles...
After gently knocking on the door, Jia Qiang turned around and saw that it was Ping'er, her eyes lit up.
Ping'er was wearing a jade-colored brocade dress with emerald leaves and cloud patterns, and a silver-plated green jade bead-carved flower on his head.
White jade earrings inlaid with beads and silk wrapped around the earlobes. On the wrist holding the embroidered handkerchief, she wears a pair of silk wrapped and sapphire double-buckle bracelets.
He has a gentle smile on his face, and his eyes are gentle and affectionate.
Like a mountain camellia, although it never competes with peonies and roses, it does not lose its color.
Low-key and restrained, with an uneven appearance and a calm voice.
Jia Qiang slowly retracted her fists and legs, took a long breath, wiped her sweat, and said with a smile: "Sister Ping'er is here."
Seeing him like this, Ping'er couldn't help laughing and said: "What kind of punch is this from Mr. Hou? Looking at the slow style, is it still so tiring?"
Hearing this, Jia Qiang sighed, with a solemn look on her face, and said seriously: "Back then, I was chased by a traitor. When I was running for my life, I accidentally fell into a cliff. I didn't want God to kill me, but let me fall into a tree. There was actually a hole on the cliff at the root of the eternal pine tree! When I entered the cave, I discovered that there was a set of unrivaled martial arts carved on the mountain wall, which was the set of boxing techniques I just performed. I have learned it since After mastering this magical skill, guess what?"
Ping'er was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Jia Qiang and asked, "What...what's going on?"
Jia Qiang suppressed her laughter and said: "Hey! From now on, my waist will no longer be sore, my legs will no longer hurt, I can drive a car for three hundred miles, and I can jump on the roof of a house in one breath!"
"Pooh!"
The smart Ping'er couldn't tell that Jia Qiang was coaxing her, so she spat angrily and funny: "How can there be any reason to tease people like this? You are still the master!"
Jia Qiang laughed and said: "Although there are some fabricated elements, this set of boxing skills combined with Wu Qin Xi does have the effect of strengthening the body. If others don't tell me, Sister Lin will never break in a day. You see Is she much better now than before?"
Ping'er's bright eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "It's not just much better. It's as if he's a different person. In previous years, during the early spring and late autumn, he could only soak in medicine jars. Now he is indeed much better than before. More... Is it really so miraculous? If it is really so miraculous, then Lord Marquis should also teach our grandma a lesson. Although she looks good, she is actually not very strong, but she has a strong temper. "
Jia Qiang nodded and smiled: "You are loyal... It's easy to say, I will teach her later, and sister Ping'er will follow suit..."
Ping'er looked at Jia Qiang's sharp gaze and felt that it could penetrate deep into his heart. He didn't dare to look more, avoided his eyes and said with a smile: "I heard from our grandma that the West Road Courtyard of Mr. Hou's guild hall is missing a general manager. Grandma. It is said that she recommended me, but I am just a slave. Even though I have learned a lot from grandma in the past, I have only scratched the surface. How can I be serious enough to get on the stage? If the Marquis invites me, it will cost two thousand yuan a year. One hundred and forty taels, I really can't afford it. It's not that I'm lazy and don't want to contribute, I'm just afraid that it will delay the important event of the Marquis and grandma..."
Jia Qiang waved her hand and said with a smile: "Let's talk inside, how can anyone stand at the door and talk..." After saying that, he walked inside first. Ping'er saw that he had no choice but to follow.
At this time, Qingwen and Xiangling were noisy and brought hot water over.
Seeing Ping'er coming, Qingwen had never seen such a beautiful girl before, and she felt very alert when she followed Jia Qiang into the house.
Xiangling was extremely happy and shouted from a distance: "Oh! Miss Ping'er is here!"
He also introduced to Qingwen: "Miss Ping'er is the favorite person of everyone in the Xifu. Even if someone commits some crime, they dare not agree with her. Grandma said that as long as she talks to Miss Ping'er, as long as it is not a serious crime, she will
She can tolerate the past, so everyone likes her the most! Sister Ping'er is still the most powerful person around Grandma Er."
When Qingwen heard this, the defensive look in her eyes disappeared, as long as she wasn't here to steal her job...
She smiled and said: "Of course he is a wonderful person, but those who have committed crimes should be severely punished!"
Jia Qiang reminded her: "Have you ever committed fewer crimes?"
Qingwen was dissatisfied: "That master taught me a lesson!"
When he said it, his face turned red and he turned his head...
Xiang Ling snickered on the side and was glared at by her fiercely.
Jia Qiang smiled and said: "You were grinding your teeth in the yard early in the morning, and went to invite Grandma You here, saying that I had something to ask her for."
Qingwen turned around and left.
Seeing her like this, Ping'er was surprised. She was such a hot-tempered girl.
Then he saw Xiangling carrying a bucket of water by herself, her pretty face turned red, and Ping'er hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Jia Qiang originally wanted to go, but as soon as she took a step, she saw Ping'er bending down to help Xiang Ling, with a round and straight curve. Even though he had exceeded the limit last night, he still couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he saw it.
.
Unable to bear to offend this true, kind and beautiful girl, Jia Qiang hurriedly stepped back and entered the house first...
…
After washing up and changing clothes again, when they returned to the main hall, they saw Youshi coming. They were chatting and when they saw Jia Qiang coming out, they both stood up.
Jia Qiang waved her hand, and after sitting down, she said bluntly: "Grandma and sister Heping'er are invited here because I have something to ask for."
Youshi Heping'er apologized and laughed and said he didn't dare. Jia Qiang said: "Everyone in the family knows that I have built a guild hall on the Xixie Street. The east road of the guild hall is used by the men for wrestling competitions and watching the big show. There is no need for it along the way.
It is managed by someone who takes care of it. The middle courtyard is a guest room and a resting place. The front half belongs to the east courtyard and is connected to it. The back half belongs to the west courtyard and is connected to the west courtyard. The middle is sealed, and even the door is closed.
They were built with bricks and stones so as not to interfere with each other. As for the West Road Courtyard, the five houses were all opened up, plus the back half of the Middle Road Courtyard, there were dozens of rooms in total, forming a small street, and all the women were sold there.
A naughty thing for children.
The Jia family has a huge business, and the cost of clan education is more than ten times higher than in the past. Therefore, I, the clan leader, have to put more effort into making some money, and I want to build the West Road Courtyard of this guild hall into a place of wealth.
Everything else is ready, but I can't find a suitable person who can take charge of everything. I know that the eldest grandma is a heroine, and her housekeeping skills are not inferior to those of the second aunt of Xifu, but she was delayed by that beast Jia Zhen.
Grandma, go and help me take care of the reception and delivery. You already have a third-grade imperial edict, and it’s very cheap to deal with those imperial eunuchs. The monthly payment of two hundred and forty taels a year can also supplement some cosmetics and money.
.”
Youshi didn't know whether she was happy or worried after hearing this. She always suspected that she had been kicked out...
Seeing her restless and timid expression, Jia Qiang guessed what she was thinking, and said with some helplessness: "The door on Xixie Street is not open every day, only four days a month. The rest of the time, grandma is willing to go home and live there."
, of course you can go home and live, this will always be your home."
After hearing Jia Qiang's words, Youshi's face suddenly smiled and said hurriedly: "I'm not worried about this, I'm just thinking about how to do the job well!" He rolled his eyes and said again: "Master Hou, my wife
The two younger sisters have nothing to do, so why not..."
Jia Qiang waved her hand and said: "It's okay if you want to take them with you. If you do something within your ability, you can get a monthly salary, which is enough to support themselves. But I'm going to say something ugly, the rules there are probably stricter than at home.
, there will never be any use of power to bully others..."
Youshi assured her over and over again: "Never, absolutely not, how dare you ruin the Marquis's important event. If that's the case, I won't have the shame to keep them."
After Jia Qiang finished talking about You's side, she said to Ping'er: "What sister Ping'er wants to do is to take charge of the affairs inside. No man is allowed to enter the West Road courtyard, only some strong women, mothers, daughters-in-law and
The girls are responsible for the daily rough work. When there are more women, there are more things to do. Although there are a few stewards, they can only be responsible for a small amount of things at most. Sister Ping'er will be the general manager, and everyone in there will listen to you.
I have arranged eight female nurses who are good at fisting and kicking to follow you all the time and only listen to your orders. As long as you remember, you represent me in there. In other words, if a mother-in-law, daughter-in-law or girl is disobedient, you can deal with it.
If you dare to show your official power and show off your imperial edict when entering the door, you can also have someone send it out directly. If any of the accompanying women and girls dare to be frivolous, it is not a big deal to just type it out! Maintaining the order inside is very important!
Why did I choose you? It’s because Sister Ping’er has a kind heart and is not as ruthless as the second aunt, and can tolerate others’ mistakes. But you are not just a good person, and you will deal with people when you should deal with them. Sure enough, you are.
If something is difficult, you can discuss it with Grandma, she will know when to take a heavy blow."
Hearing what Jia Qiang said, Ping'er felt confused. He only felt that the responsibility was heavy and he was afraid that he would not be able to shoulder it.
On the other hand, Youshi's face looked a little strange. Did Ping'er represent Jia Qiang?
Looking at Ping'er's beautiful color, Youshi realized something.
But then I thought about it, she was still representing the appearance and had to deal with Zhu Gaoming, so it wasn't a big deal after thinking about it.
She is confident that her looks are good. She is only in her mid-twenties, so she is far from old.
Not to mention her two younger sisters, both are stunningly beautiful.
But Jia Qiang never had such thoughts towards her three sisters.
Does a man have ulterior motives for a woman? Women actually know it very well in their hearts. Looks cannot deceive people...
It's just that sometimes women don't think about these things, or they lie to themselves that nothing has happened...
Youshi knew in her heart that Jia Qiang really had no dirty thoughts towards the three sisters.
Inferring this, it may not be the same for Ping'er...
Could it be that he really is a gentleman?
After Youshi Heping'er left, Qingwen came to Jia Qiang and stopped talking.
Jia Qiang frowned at her and asked, "What's the matter?"
Qingwen solemnly recommended herself: "I can also help you manage people! I can also be a female celebrity, and I'm no worse than anyone else!"
Jia Qiang smiled and scolded: "Do you still want to change jobs? It's not that I don't want you to control it, I'm afraid that if you go, you'll be stabbed to death with a hairpin if you don't see anyone for three days. As for female celebrities... they can do it occasionally.
, if you do it all year round, it would be strange if it doesn’t make your eyes go blind.”
Xiangling giggled and said, "I feel sorry for you, silly Qingwen!"
Qingwen turned around and started to attack. There was no doubt that Xiangling counterattacked. After breaking away, Qingwen said harshly: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will punish you!"
Then he said to Jia Qiang: "Others can't go blind, but why am I blind?"
After hearing this, Jia Qiang thought about it carefully and said, "Well, let me give you a pattern first. You can embroider on it. If you do it well, you can indeed make money."
Qingwen curled her lips and said: "Which one is for money, or is it not for helping me?"
To be continued...
