Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 756 There is nothing false
There was nothing false in Gu Erzhu's words. Before coming to the capital, he had never thought that Chang Huaian would have to be in charge of the house here.

For example, this time, the old son and his wife wanted to give some "local specialties" to a few families with whom they had connections. If the couple did not visit the family, Chang Huaian would deliver them.

Then there are the houses, farms and shops here. The shops are easy to deal with, you just need to rent them out and collect rent, but the houses, like the farms, cannot be separated from human relationships.

Just before the New Year, someone asked San Ya's sister-in-law to borrow the villa in San Ya's manor to hold a banquet, and afterward sent a lot of "gifts", which now needs Huai'an to arrange.

Since there are so many personal connections in the capital, Gu Erzhu immediately thought that the house in Yangzhou City owned by Zhou Banxia might be bigger and more valuable.

Another thing is that the largest number of farms and shops on the dowry list were in Jiangnan, so he mentioned that Chang Qing's second son, Chang Huaigu, was no less well-off there than here.

It was also during this visit to the capital that he could better understand why Chang Qing had always mentioned that it was necessary to send Manager Dexin to take over the Yangzhou Prefecture as soon as possible.

Although there was Chang Huaigu keeping an eye on the head of the village, how many things could one person take care of? Chang Qing must have been afraid that his son could not control them.

Fortunately, there is San Ya's uncle's Zhou Mansion on the other side. There is not only a housekeeper, but also San Ya's aunt and several maids who are still managing the shop and farm there.

Besides, the dowry will not be in San Ya's name for long, and any servant who wants to steal it will have to think carefully about whether it will be sold. They probably won't dare to embezzle it in the short term.

"He is just busy doing nothing. The shop over there has been rented out. He just needs to keep an eye on the accounts of the farm and the tea plantation to see if there is any fraud. It will be very easy to manage."

Chang Qing dared to say this, but his son Chang Huaian dared not say a word. In terms of ability, his brother was much better than him, but how easy was he to manage?
unable.

Seeing that his father and their young lady's father-in-law were chatting again, Chang Huaian turned to Gu Dahua and smiled, and softly suggested that they find time to get together some night later.

Gu Dahua also had the same idea. Before going to the south of the Yangtze River, he could ask Chang Huaian for more advice and get more information, which would naturally be better and more convenient for him to act.

He knew that not only did his master want him to take over the chores as soon as possible and become the real second butler, but even the chief butler wanted him to practice more as soon as possible so that the position of chief butler could be given to him.

It is well known that the butler is not interested in being in power, but wants to help the girl and the future master train more guards.

In addition, the Chang Huaian brothers are now serving as stewards for their masters in the south and the north respectively. It may be said that this is to avoid suspicion, but sooner or later one of the brothers' family will be transferred back to Yuyuan.

Before, Chang Huaian's family might have been transferred back to Yuyuan by their master, but from what he sees now, Chang Huaian will have to deal with the capital for the next three to five years.

Even if Gu Youxin is capable, his young age makes him inappropriate. Even if Chang Huaian wants to let go, he should first keep Youxin by his side for two or three years.

In this way, if any family of the Chang brothers was transferred back, it would definitely be Chang Huaigu's family that was transferred back to Yuyuan, and become the master's right-hand man together with him.

First, the chief steward has an older daughter who lives in Yangzhou Prefecture, unlike his older daughter whose husband is still Fu Bo, the old steward of the Zhou Mansion, who is also the chief steward of the Zhou Mansion in the capital.

His eldest daughter's husband's family is the Zhou family of Yangzhou. No matter how honest they are, they are definitely not as loyal as the old steward of the Zhou family, Fu Bo, and his two generations of loyalty.

Judging from the way the head steward and his wife behave, they can't help but worry that while they are not there, the eldest daughter's husband's family will become greedy and come after their son.

Besides, the butler and his wife were worried that his Chang family would dominate the family, and they wanted to bring him out as soon as possible to replace his two sons. How could they let his family dominate the family? Not to mention that he was valued by the Second Master, the butler and his wife were only concerned about the Second Mistress, so they couldn't help but worry that the Second Master would suppress her. His wife was still the housekeeper of the wife.

I wonder if he can think of all these aspects, and whether Chang Huaian also has an idea of ​​it. I hope he is a wise man like the butler and can inform Chang Huaigu before he arrives in Yangzhou Prefecture.

Outsiders may not know, but how could he not know what the Second Master was thinking?

On the surface, it seemed that the Second Master was following the Butler's plan. He asked him to take people to visit the Second Madam's farms this year, but in fact, he was still buying more properties around the Second Madam's shops and farms.

In Erye's words, he has two major things to do this year.

The first is to visit all the houses, shops and farms under the name of the second grandmother one by one, to get a good understanding of the situation, and then when the right opportunity arises, buy a shop or farm nearby.

The second most important thing is to replace and place personnel, integrating the farm and tea plantation shop on the second grandmother's dowry list with the newly acquired farm and shop.

If anyone tried to interfere, except for a limited number of village managers whose fathers had made contributions, the guards would capture and sell them all without 100% solid evidence.

The Second Master has made up his mind to be the bad guy this time and help the Second Mistress to make an example of someone else.

Chang Huaigu will cooperate with him and become the second master's right-hand man. Otherwise, even for the sake of the butler and his wife, he will not be able to get anything good...

There is also a curfew in the imperial city.

Liu's mother and daughter were still in Zhou's house. Gu Erzhu estimated that the time was about right, so he stood up after the topic came to an end. Seeing this, Gu Dahua didn't have time to think about it any more.

"What were you thinking about before you came out?" Gu Erzhu asked Gu Dahua curiously after seeing Chang Qing and his son, who insisted on escorting him back to Zhou Mansion, leave.

Gu Dahua smiled awkwardly, "I was thinking whether I should inform the Second Master first. It seems that the manager of Gao's house will be going to transport goods soon."

Gu Erzhu knew that Gao Fu's steward, who often went to the workshop to deliver banknotes and transport goods, was spending the New Year in Beijing, but he didn't know whether he was still in Beijing after the Lantern Festival.

"Is the person still here?"

"He should still be here. With you here, he would definitely come before leaving the capital to pick up goods from the workshop. Even if he doesn't see you, he would still say hello to the butler.

He would at least ask the master if you and the mistress have anything for him to take back. If the butler didn't mention it, it must still be here."

That's true. The Gao family is the Gao family, and the man is the housekeeper of the eldest young lady of the Gao family. His coming forward to say hello represents the friendship between the eldest young lady of the Gao family and his own family.

Another thing is, when the child's mother mentioned the night before that the eldest lady of the Gao family said she wanted to add scented candles this year, she didn't mention that she had sent the steward to the workshop to find San Ya.

Gu Erzhu hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, this is also a way, it's much faster, we don't have to send it to Zhoujia Village and then hand it over to the escort agency, it's much faster.

There is another way. If you need to take something back urgently, you can go to Ruyifang in Beijing. The shopkeeper there knows how to get the item to Sanya as soon as possible."
