When Jia Yun got home, it was already noon.

Xiangling brought him a basin of water to wipe his sweat, and Jing'er made a pot of fragrant tea to prepare.

At this time, Xiren brought Ping'er into the house. Before Jia Yun could say anything, Ping'er asked anxiously: "Have you persuaded Yuanyang to stop?"

She met Jia Yun on the road today who was about to go home, and was seen by Yuanyang. If she didn't handle it well and the news leaked out, it would probably cause an uproar.

Maybe, she and Wang Xifeng would be too embarrassed to survive.

Jia Yun nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, she will be your sister from now on."

"Ah!" Ping'er said softly, extremely surprised.

The attacker on the side was also in disbelief and asked curiously: "Master, Sister Yuanyang is a strong-tempered person. Is she really being taken care of by the master?"

"What do you mean by cleaning up? It sounds so ugly." Jia Yun rolled her eyes and said:

"Don't talk about it anymore, just remember that she is mine from now on."

Hearing this, Ping'er breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward with a smile: "I just went to settle down the yard. It's next to the attacker. I really want to move here earlier..."

Jia Yun muttered: "Don't worry, there will always be a chance for you to come over."

"I'm not in a hurry, I just suddenly found that the atmosphere here is much better than Jia's mansion." Ping'er said with a smile.

Jia Yun smiled and asked: "You don't dare to show off your anger when you stay in Jia Mansion right now, right?"

"Yeah, almost. Sister Xiren knows this situation. Whenever something happens in the house, the servants in the family have to be careful, for fear of being affected." Ping'er nodded and replied.

Xiren answered: "Actually, being a servant is the same no matter which family you are in. You have to live your life based on your appearance. You can't have a master who is in a bad mood while the servants are laughing and joking. That would be outrageous."

"That's true, but to be fair, compared to many big families, the Jia family treats their servants very well." Ping'er said with a smile.

Jia Yun laughed and said: "I am treating my servants well and treating them as my ancestors. This is too much."

"How do you say this?" Ping'er asked confused.

Jia Yun said with a smile: "Don't spread this nonsense. Based on my understanding of the Jia family, the general managers, general managers, stewards, and deacons of the Jia family, as long as they have a little bit of power, have all become small landowners."

"It is not an exaggeration at all for a big steward like the two Lai brothers to have thousands of acres of fertile land at home."

Xiren said in surprise: "Oh my god, is this true?"

"Of course it's true, I'm not joking." Jia Yun said seriously.

Ping'er was dumbfounded and said: "Oh my god, I don't usually pay attention, but I really didn't notice it!"

"So someone like Lai Da Lai Er is richer than our Second Master Lian and Second Grandma Lian?"

"No, he is even richer than Mr. She and Mr. Zheng!"

Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian and others in the Jia family were not divided into separate families, so the property in the Jia family was jointly owned. In private, it was really difficult for them to come up with tens of thousands of taels of silver.

But for big housekeepers like Lai Da and Lai Er, it is quite easy for them to get eight thousand taels of silver.

Therefore, Ping'er's statement that Lai Da and others are richer than Jia She and others is not entirely correct, but at least half of it is correct.

Jia Yun nodded and said: "That's why I said that it is too much for the Jia family to raise servants. I think we can be kind to our servants, but we cannot raise them as ancestors."

"If there is a way, kindness will be rewarded, and kindness will turn into hatred. If there is too much kindness, they will not know how to cherish it and will take it for granted. Even the master's property will be treated as his own."

"Whenever the master's family is in trouble, these people are the first to betray and add insult to injury."

In reality, there are countless such examples.

It often happens that slaves betray their masters. In the final analysis, it is still the master's fault that he is too indulgent and neglects discipline.

Ping'er said: "Although I am also a slave, I think what you said is right. In fact, Jia's house was not like this before, but since the old Duke left, the atmosphere in the house has changed."

"Let me give you an example. There are many nuns, nannies, managers, and senior ones in the mansion. Masters such as Second Master Lian, Second Master Bao, and Brother Lan usually respect them."

"This is not normal. I think you can respect them, but you can't really treat them as your masters. Is this the truth?"

Xiren echoed: "Sister Ping'er is right, everything must be done in moderation."

"When I was serving Second Master Bao, my nanny was very arrogant. She would often come to the room to get food and drink. After drinking, she would go to the courtyard to act like a drunkard."

"I can't say it yet, even Second Master Bao can't say anything about her. She has no conscience and no filial piety. Even if she reported it to the old lady, it was all ignored. The next day, she was still arrogant and domineering, even worse than the master.

They have a bad temper."

Jia Yun nodded and said: "So, with the example of Jia's family, we should take good care of our servants and not treat them harshly, but we should not let them run wild. Once there are signs of this, at least we should drive them away, and at worst, we should drive them away.

Kill with a stick!"

In a social environment like ancient times, it had never occurred to him to think that everyone was equal was a lunatic.

Therefore, Jia Yun always pays attention to the balance of kindness and power towards the servants in the family.

Even the personal guards who followed him were like this.

When you are a little bit unruly, you should hit when you need to hit.

If beating doesn't work, then just go ahead and kill him as a warning to others.

Otherwise, the servants at home will be disobedient and fight among themselves all day long, so don't do anything else.

After chatting for a while, Ping'er was about to say goodbye and leave. Before leaving, she said to Jia Yun privately:

"Grandma said that the spice shop is about to open. She asked you when can the spices be delivered?"

Jia Yun muttered: "Give me the address of the shop, and I will arrange for someone to deliver it in the afternoon."

For things like spices, if you buy them once, you can sell them for a long time without spending too much energy.

Ping'er told the addresses of several of Wang Xifeng's shops that wanted to sell spices, and then reluctantly said: "Then I'll go, and I'll come back to play when I have time."

Jia Yun stepped forward and hugged her gently, looking at her delicate face, she said softly: "Something happened in Jia's house. You and Aunt Feng should be careful and don't get involved."

"Is it possible not to get involved? You can't just watch Mr. Lian being imprisoned and remain indifferent, right?" Ping'er lay in his arms and whispered.

After a pause, she continued: "Grandma is also panicking right now. If Master Lian is really beheaded, she will become a widow."

"So she asked me to come here to find you today because she also wanted to ask you if there is any way out here."

"Let's not talk about saving Mr. Lian from jail. At least we have to save his life. Grandma said she doesn't want to be a widow yet."

Jia Yun muttered: "Don't worry, since the Jia family has gone to ask the Prince of Beijing for help, the lives of Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu should be saved."

"I won't get involved, lest others think I have ulterior motives, which would be bad."

Ping'er nodded, stood up on his toes, held Jia Yun's face, kissed him deeply, then smiled and said: "I really want to leave. If you don't leave, I won't be able to leave you anymore."

Jia Yun patted her buttocks, nodded and said, "Go ahead, come over anytime you have time."

Ping'er turned around three times in one step and left reluctantly.

Jia Yun sighed, turned around and went to the warehouse, took out the spices for Wang Xifeng from the space, packed them in boxes according to categories, and then ordered Jia Wenlin to take the spices to the store in person.

Nowadays, some private matters at home are mainly handled by Xue Baochai and Xi Ren, while externally, the two personal guard captains Jia Wenlin and Jia Dazheng are responsible.

Needless to say, Xue Baochai and Xi Ren can be 100% believed that both of them are very capable at work, and Jia Yun rarely worries about family matters.

As for Jia Wenlin and Jia Dazheng, they are loyal and good at everything. They can handle many things and rarely make mistakes.

The family gathered together for lunch at noon, and Jia Yun told Bu that she wanted to worship ancestors and revise the family tree.

Bu was very happy after hearing this.

Now that her son is becoming more and more promising, she naturally has a bright face as a mother, and the neighbors respect her.

Only when talking about children, Mrs. Bu became a little anxious: "It's not my mother who is urging me. You and Baochai should also put more thought into giving birth to a son and a half daughter as soon as possible, so that my mother can feel at ease."

Jia Yun was speechless. In his previous life, his parents had often urged him to get married and have children. He never thought that he would be like this again in ancient times.

Xue Baochai on the side lowered his head and said nothing, but glanced at Jia Yun from time to time, because this was Jia Yun's fault.

Jia Yun had no choice but to promise Bu that she would let Xue Baochai get pregnant as soon as possible.

After dinner, Jia Yun and Xue Baochai came to the teahouse to sit down and talk.

Seeing that Xue Baochai was unhappy, Jia Yun said, "Don't be sad, Baochai. I have promised to have a child, and I will definitely get you pregnant within the year. How about it?"

Xue Baochai said in surprise: "Is what your husband said true?"

"Of course." Jia Yun said with a smile.

Xue Baochai smiled and said: "That's great. Once you have children, the elders will no longer nag you."

Jia Yun smiled hoarsely and said, "I never thought, Baochai, that you are also afraid of my mother and mother-in-law nagging you?"

"Hehe, there are some things that the slave family didn't think much about at first, but after being nagged by them, they felt like they had made a big mistake." Xue Baochai said with a smile.

After talking for a while, Xue Baochai said: "Husband, I think you should go and see Sister Lin. She was a little unhappy when she left today. After all, this is my daughter's house. You need to coax her more."

Jia Yun stretched, shook her head and said, "Don't worry about this. If it were any other time, I would definitely coax her, but not today."

Seeing that Xue Baochai was worried and confused, Jia Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll go find her again in a few days..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiren walked in with a smile, and said with a smile: "Miss Lin is back!"

Jia Yun and Xue Baochai looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and went out hand in hand to greet Lin Daiyu.

The sedan was carried to the middle courtyard. As soon as Jia Yun came out of the tea room, she saw Lin Daiyu getting off the sedan.

Seeing Jia Yun coming over, Lin Daiyu pursed her lips, her eyes filled with mist, feeling a little aggrieved, hesitant and at a loss.

She was the one who wanted to leave in a fuss today, and now she came back with a slightly troubled face.

But as soon as she got home, all she could think about was Jia Yun, and finally couldn't help but come over early.

Jia Yun stepped forward, took her little hand, turned back and nodded to Xue Baochai, and took Lin Daiyu to the teahouse...
