Chapter 116:

However, he didn't take him on the road because he was wise. Humph!
Zhu Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and she carefully looked at these beautiful women.
They all seem to be seventeen or eighteen years old, they are fresh and tender, and they are fat and thin, each with its own advantages.
No matter which man gets these four beauties in one breath, is the blessing of Qi people not envious of others?
Thinking that these four beauties were rewarded by the palace, Zhu Yuan was frustrated.
She didn't scream, and turned to ask An Qing: "These are the ones that were rewarded by the palace?"
"Yes." An Qing answered cautiously. "The lady of Concubine Shu said that there was no one around the master who knew how to be cold or hot, so she sent a few maids over to help the master."
Zhu Yuan sneered secretly.
If it wasn't because the dog eggs didn't get married, these people would just be rewarded as concubines, right?
Before the main room, even Emperor Shu concubine could not blatantly go to Xieyu's house.
But, good news, why did this harem boss suddenly do such a thing?
Could it be...
What did Xie Zheng do because she was assassinated?
Yes, it must be so.
Xie Zheng was punished to go to a more remote place with his front foot, and Concubine Shu sent four beauties to him on the back foot-is this alluding to him, because of beauty?
The more Zhu Yuan thinks about it, the more possible it becomes.
She couldn't help being more curious about what Xie Zheng did.
The thoughts are flying, but the reality is just a moment.
Even knowing that this was a warning gesture, Zhu Yuan still found it disgusting.
Therefore, as if she hadn't heard clearly, she asked again: "Why Empress Shu asked them to come over?"
An Qing was stunned, recalled carefully, and affirmed: "Let them come and serve the master."
Zhu Yuan said "Oh", "I see." Then he looked at the beauties who were still squatting, "You--oh, look at me, you have forgotten that you are still saluting, get up."
The tone was plain, with a bit of artificial surprise, and everyone could hear her falsehood.
Chi Luoluo's not happy.
Fortunately, these beauties are also court ladies, and blessings for a moment seem to be commonplace for them.
After they stood up straight, they lightly held their belly with both hands and waited quietly for her to ask questions.
Zhu Yuan lived up to expectations and smiled: "You heard what you said just now, right?"
A few people should naturally be.
Zhu Yuanzhuang frowned in distress, "But right now, the third highness is not in Beijing, and he won't even come back for a year or a half..."
These people naturally know. When Concubine Shu sent them out, she mentioned that His Royal Highness was going to go far, so that they could wait on the way...
But His Highness did not take them out!
And threw them in this deserted yard! !
The four of them were also arranged in four rooms. They were not allowed to go out every day except for eating and drinking. Not only did they have no work, they didn't even have a single person to talk to. They had been a little nervous after these few days.
Also honest a lot.
The master is not there, Father Anqing said, they have to listen to the three girls in front of them how they make arrangements... This is the future mistress, and they will all have to look at her face to eat in the future, not honest point!
Therefore, when Zhu Yuan said this, they immediately listened carefully.
Zhu Yuan was satisfied with seeing them peacefully.
"Look, the master you are going to serve is not there. The palace hasn't been repaired yet, and it's a mixed bag. It's not good for you young girls to live in... This yard will be useful for me in the future."
Is this not even a house for them? The faces of these people were panicked, and they looked towards An Qing.
An Qing was also a little surprised: "Three girls, do you want to use this yard?"
Zhu Yuan raised her eyebrows: "Can't you?"
An Qing hurriedly laughed: "Of course I can, of course I can. The minion is just talking about it-this is not to ask you how you want to use it, and the minion will arrange it for you!"
Zhu Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that what the dog egg said is true, and she really has to deal with it.
"Let's talk about these later."
"Eh."
Zhu Yuan looked at the beauties again: "This courtyard is useful for me, and both the front and rear courtyards will be used. But for you to live here, it is not very convenient for me. I remember that there is a big Zhuangzi on the outskirts of your Highness. People send you there?"
An Qing wanted to speak but stopped.
Zhu Yuan ignored him and only looked at the beauties in front of him.
The few people looked at each other.
A beautiful lady in pink dress blessed her body, and asked carefully: "Dare to ask the three girls, is there any other choice?" If she is sent to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, then she is really given out... If you don't do well, you have to die there.
Others seem to feel the same way, and their faces are more ugly.
Zhu Yuan was naturally deliberate. She has been in this world for so many years, and she has a good understanding of Zhuangzi, a wealthy family of this era.
In ancient times, commerce and transportation were underdeveloped, and the daily expenses of large households were not really bought every day.
The large families of serious children will provide some villagers, some are responsible for growing grain, some are responsible for raising poultry and livestock for meat, eggs and milk, there are also fruits and vegetables, and some even have special kilns.
If you send these charming girls to Zhuangzi, you don't have to frighten them—after all, they don't know that Xie Zheng's Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing is a research and development center that he highly values.
Seeing the effect achieved, Zhu Yuan was quite satisfied and said: "Yes." After seeing these beauties, she smiled for the first time, "I can let you continue to live in this yard, but -"
Several people hold their breath.
"I plan to use this yard as a branch of Liao Zhai."
Liao Zhai is the bookstore next door, everyone knows, but...Liao Zhai branch?
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Zhu Yuan continued: "I will re-plan the layout in these two days. The front will be changed to the reception area and office, and the back is the dormitory and meeting room." She changed her conversation, "If you want to stay, you have to help. Do things. Do you like this?"
These people hesitated.
Zhu Yuan was not in a hurry for an answer, and turned to An Qing: "I said just now, and you have also heard it. Do you have a layout plan for this courtyard?"
An Qing nodded quickly: "Yes, this yard was only repaired at the end of last year, and the drawings are still there."
"Okay. Give it to me later, and find some craftsmen for me."
An Qing hesitated: "Girl, when the master comes back, you have to use this yard?"
Zhu Yuan waved his hand: "What's the use? When he comes back, the palace has been repaired, and he will live in the palace directly."
The implication is that this yard is definitely going to be requisitioned.
An Qing thought so too.
"Then what do you want to change to? When the minion finds a craftsman, he has a direction."
"It doesn't need to be too complicated. Except for the dormitory area at the back, I have to knock down the front courtyard wall and decorate it to make it look more spacious and bright."
"Okay, the minion will look for someone when he turns around." Anqing paused, and then asked, "Do you want to hire someone?" He scratched his head, "In the past, Mr. Anfu was in charge of these things.
Zhu Yuan shook his head: "No, I will be in charge of the workers." After a pause, "Are there any messengers and kitchens in this courtyard?"
"some."
"All men?"
"……Eh?"
"Father Anqing, where do you guys live now?" Xie Zheng is not in the palace. These eunuchs shouldn't live in the palace, right?
An Qing scratched her head: "Don't dare to deceive the girl. To make it easier to get in and out, some of us live in the palace."
Zhu Yuan realized: "Oh, some courtyards are ready."
An Qing nodded.
"Then it will be easy. Please give me a list of the people in this yard, men and women, old and young, age, relatives, all of which must be clearly written."
"Yes."
After explaining the matter, Zhu Yuan turned back: "Have you figured it out clearly?"
The four nodded together: "Think clearly."
The girl in pink clothes who spoke to Shicai once again blessed her body: "The servants decided to stay here and work for the girl."
Zhu Yuan smiled: "It's not for me, but for the emperor, and for the third majesty." The sign must be hung up! Then asked them, "Are you literate?"
"A little bit of knowledge."
"Have you read the "Dayan Monthly"? Can you understand the above article?"
Several people looked at each other.
A green dress girl confessed: "The imperial examination article is too difficult, and everything else is fine."
Enough is enough! Zhu Yuan smiled more: "Can you write poems?"
Several people shook their heads quickly.
I wish Yuan lost hope. In the next moment I was excited again-it didn't matter. She is short of people now, and these people are already very literate. "I see. I have to look back at my ability and give you the corresponding monthly silver."
There is moon silver. The faces of a few people were slightly calm. It seems that it was not intentional to embarrass them.
Zhu Yuan turned to Anqing again: "Where is the chief manager over there? I want to see him."
An Qing thought she was about to start the board of directors, and said hurriedly, "The slave will let people call him."
Zhu Yuan thought for a while, and said, "I'll go look for him." There are still a few beauties here, but it's not easy for people to come over.
Let the four beauties go down and wait for the news. Zhu Yuan went to Liaozhai with Anqing. In the big meeting room of Liaozhai, he chatted with the treasurer and several stewards of Liaozhai all afternoon.
Almost not silly.
No way, although she is a girl's house, she still carries An Qing, Gu Yu and others. After all, she is a foreigner, so she still pays attention.
Therefore, even if a charcoal stove is specially burned in the conference room, and the flower hall with wide open doors and windows, the draught wind still blows, freezing to death.
Mother Xu used the kitchen here to keep changing her hot tea, and she also found a soup lady to hold her, so she was more comfortable.
After finally having a good conversation, Zhu Yuan didn't care about these excited stewards, and quickly left with Tang Po.
She returned to Zhu's house and took a hot bath for a long time before she came over.
Then he hurried back to the table, planning to record the details of today's discussion.
[...Published at the beginning of the month (tentative), finalized before the twenty-fifth of each month, and submitted to Guanshi Chen]
[Go to Liao Zhai today? ] Familiar ink characters suddenly appeared.
Zhu Yuan paused and was pleasantly surprised: [Have you been to the place? 】
【No】
[... Then why do you come out in broad daylight? 】I’m just applying now. Shouldn’t he wait until dark and get ready to go out?
[Away from the capital, there is no need to hurry up at night]
【Ok】
Xie Zheng perseveres: [You went to Liao Zhai today? 】
[Yes] Zhu Yuan didn’t care about it, [Go to the shopkeeper and learn from them]
I don’t know if this guy saw her plan two days ago. If not, she would have to explain--
[See Jiang Cheng? 】
Zhu Yuan blinked. Shouldn't she ask what she intends to do? She thought for a while and answered honestly: [See you, he is in charge of reviewing and reviewing the "Dayan Monthly", shouldn't I ask him for a meeting? ] Ask him why? Inexplicably.
[He got married last month]
Zhu Yuan: ...? ? ?
Dude, is the point wrong?
