Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 8 New Home
  Lao ShunTou took Jia Qiang to visit the second courtyard, which exceeded Jia Qiang's imagination.

The overall area of ​​the second courtyard exceeds 400 square meters, and the inner courtyard is equipped with a pond and a pavilion.

Due to the wrong season, the lotus flowers in the pond have withered. Except for a few evergreen plants, most of the other plants beside the pond have withered. A strange Taihu stone two people high stands beside the pond.

Although the courtyard is small, its layout is exquisite. At first glance, it can be seen that it was not made by ordinary craftsmen.

The east and west wing rooms are each equipped with a complete set of elm wood furniture, which is enough for two families to live in.

When Jia Qiang walked into the main room, he found that the main room had been arranged into an oversized study room with a row of bookshelves that was extremely eye-catching. It was different from the layout of the main room in his memory.

The left and right wing rooms are arranged into bedrooms and reception rooms, making this second courtyard very special.

Considering that Jia Jing used it for reading, this design is quite normal.

He saw a thin layer of dust on all the furniture and the floor. It seemed that the cleaning here was not diligent.

But considering that this place is not commonly used and Lao Shuntou is not too young, he can understand that it is very laborious for one person to take care of such a large yard.

"Lao Shuntou, go back to Yahang to find two rough girls and a cook!" Jia Qiang thought for a while and ordered.

Although I only have two thousand taels of silver in my hand, it depends on where I put it. In a high-rise courtyard like the Jia Mansion, two thousand taels of silver is nothing, but in this second courtyard, it is enough to last a long time. .

The silver and banknotes in his inventory would be enough to last him a long, long time if he lived a normal life, no matter how extravagant he was.

In addition, he is not without income. There is also Rouge Shop that can provide him with a certain amount of income every month.

Originally, he didn't plan to hire many servants. Now that he has moved into this second courtyard, corresponding servants are indispensable.

This is the memory of the twelve-year-old Jia Qiang's predecessor. She was born in the Jia family. Even as a spectator, she knew some things about family management.

The reason why there is a layer of dust all over the courtyard is entirely because there are too few servants here.

"Little old man's old wife used to help with the cooking. Why don't you let her come over and try it out to see if her craftsmanship can catch the eye of Second Master Qiang?" When Lao Shuntou heard Jia Qiang's request, his eyes lit up and he bowed. Shen Zi suggested.

If the family member can be allowed to live in the house, not only can the old couple stay together, but it can also provide the family with an extra income.

"Let her come over tomorrow and give it a try!" Jia Qiang nodded slightly in agreement, then turned to look at Feicui and said: "Feicui will take care of the affairs in the inner house. As long as the two rough messenger girls Feicui are qualified, there is no need to ask me again. ”

"Listen to the young master!" Feicui responded with a smile on his face after listening to Jia Qiang's arrangement.

She originally thought that she would suffer with Jia Qiang when she came out, so she was mentally prepared.

How could she be dissatisfied with the current arrangement? This was even a higher status than her status in Jia Mansion.

Jia Qiang secretly smiled in her heart. Jade was young after all, so she would be happy if she was given a little benefit.

He didn't expect Feicui to be loyal immediately. He and Feicui didn't know each other at all before. If not for Jia Mu's assignment, how could Feicui follow him.

"Master, let me clean the house first!" Jade became motivated and worked hard.

Laoshuntou followed to help, and he even did it faster than Jade. The main reason was that he knew that the cleanliness of the second hospital was his responsibility, and he didn't do it well.

Jade and Lao Shun first tidied up the guest room in the right room, giving Jia Qiang a place to sit.

"Second Master Qiang, there is no tea prepared here. Please drink some water first!" Lao Shuntou did his job quickly and served the tea.

"Laoshuntou, Feicui, call me master from now on, our place has nothing to do with the Jia family anymore!" Jia Qiang ordered Laoshuntou and Feicui without drinking water.

"Yes, sir!" Jade was lucky and knew what happened. Laoshuntou didn't know the reason, but he would not refute Jia Qiang, and the two immediately changed their words.

"Old Shuntou, it's getting dark soon. Let Jade give you some money and go buy some food from the restaurant next door!" Jia Qiang thought of dinner again and ordered, then he took out a bag from the wrapped box. He handed the one hundred taels of silver notes to Feicui and said, "This one hundred taels of silver is for you to manage the inner house!"

"Yes, Master!" Jade's face turned slightly red, and she reached out and took the banknote.

Before, Jia Qiang arranged for her to take charge of the inner house, so she didn't think anything of it, but when Jia Qiang handed a hundred taels of silver into her hands, she couldn't help but think more.

In fact, a personal girl like her will become an aunt when her master grows up and gets married. Jia Qiang didn't notice anything unusual about Jade, so he waved his hand and let the two of them go about their work.

Judging from the situation when Er entered the courtyard, Lao Shun Tou and Feicui would be busy for a lot of time today.

This gave him a lot of alone time, which he deliberately arranged, otherwise it would be difficult to do some things with Jade around from time to time.

He opened the wooden box on the table, which contained his net worth, two house deeds and the deed of Rouge Shop, including the deed of Jade and Lao Shuntou. They were all put into the space backpack. There was no need to worry about being stolen if they were placed here. .

The silver box and banknotes collected from the bank will not be taken out before he has the ability to earn a lot of money, so he only glanced at the silver box and banknotes in the inventory and stopped paying attention to them. .

Then he began to test his own strength. He reached out and lifted the official hat chair he was sitting on. The furniture in the main room was all made of red sandalwood. This is the top-grade wood and is also the heaviest.

The value of the yard that Jia Mu asked for from him was far beyond the normal second-entry yard. The red sandalwood furniture in the three main rooms alone was worth more than a thousand taels.

This chair weighed seventy kilograms. He lifted it easily and felt very relaxed.

You must know that he is only twelve years old, with a body of 1.4 meters, and although there is some flesh on his arms, it is not muscle, but floating flesh formed by pampering.

But with such a body, he can easily pick up a seventy kilogram red sandalwood official hat chair.

He also tested it with other furniture in the room. Although there was no particularly accurate comparison, he also came up with a very close data.

His strength is almost one hundred kilograms, which is two hundred pounds.

For adults, this is about the strength of a standard adult man.

Of course, if an adult man exercises regularly, his strength can exceed one hundred kilograms, but such adult men all have strong bodies.

Jia Qiang calculated in her mind that for these 10 points of strength, one point of strength should be ten kilograms, and 10 points of strength should be one hundred kilograms.

Currently, only strength can be tested among the data in the body panel. Others need to be explored slowly in the future.

With a hundred kilograms of strength and a twelve-year-old body, even if he is in danger, he is suddenly enough to win unexpectedly.

The dinner was very ordinary. Jia Qiang ate alone, and he didn't let Jade sit down to eat with him.

This world is not like the previous life. There is a huge gap between the master and the servant. Before he has the ability to change everything, he can only integrate into this world.

"Master, is the food delivered by Mingyue Tower not to your taste?" Feicui didn't know Jia Qiang's previous living habits, so she couldn't help but ask when she saw that Jia Qiang only tasted some when eating.

As Jia Qiang's personal maid, she needs to know her master's preferences, which was trained by Jia's mother.

"I don't have any taste!" Jia Qiang shook her head and said.

He finished his meal with some rice.

From the memories of her predecessor, Jia Qiang discovered that the food at Mingyue Tower was pretty good based on her taste.

Even in the Jia Mansion, the usual meals do not have such standards and tastes.

The reason why he has no taste is entirely due to the influence of taste from another world.

This made him think. The reason why the dishes here taste bad is because of the lack of MSG.

For some unknown reason, he is now able to look through the memories of his two lives. These memories are extremely clear. He can find out even the scenes he has only seen once in his two lives.

Although it is a bit troublesome to prepare MSG, it is not impossible. He has the chemical knowledge in this area.

Besides, the more troublesome the preparation process is, the more it can be kept secret.

When Jia Qiang thought of this, she couldn't help but shook her head. What she wanted to do with so much, he was not short of money in the short term.

He had some ideas about his future. Earning money was not the first priority. The two thousand taels of silver on the surface was a lot.
