I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 217 Nirvana
Tanchun looked at Jia Huan and continued to instruct him, "Therefore, this time, you must not only do what Third Brother asks you to do, but also do it to the best of your ability."

"Don't be so short-sighted and don't embezzle even a penny of that one thousand taels of silver."

"Not only that, you also have to keep an eye on Zhao Da and his men, and don't let them enrich themselves from this."

"And you must also remember what Third Brother taught you."

"You have to learn how to win people's hearts and make Zhao Da follow you wholeheartedly."

"You have to know that Third Brother Cong doesn't necessarily have to use you. If you are useless, Third Brother Cong can let someone else do this."

"Because the person who really does the work is Zhao Da, not you."

"To win people's hearts, you must not only reward them, but also make them feel that they have hope and desire by following you, and you must also make them believe in you."

"Brother Huan, this is a rare opportunity for you, you must do well."

"As long as you do this well, when Third Brother becomes an official, will he still help you?"

Tanchun's words contained a lot of information, but this time, Jia Huan took it to heart.

He pondered for a while, a thoughtful look on his face.

After a while, Jia Huan stood up, bowed deeply to Tanchun and said, "Thank you for your advice, Third Sister. Otherwise, I would have almost missed this opportunity."

Seeing Jia Huan suddenly become so sensible, Tanchun felt relieved, but at the same time her nose felt sore and she almost cried.

It was not until Jia Huan left that Tanchun suddenly realized what was going on.

Did Huan Geer thank me sincerely just now? Or was he just trying to win people's hearts?
Thinking of this, Tanchun suddenly burst into laughter.

No matter which situation it is, it means that Huan Ge'er has grown up, which is a good thing!
After Jia Huan went out, he went to the money shop first to exchange the silver notes.

Of course, it is impossible to invest all the 1,000 taels of silver at once.

He was not at ease even if he handed everything over to Zhao Da at once.

In his heart, he was still thinking about how to control his subordinates and how to use both kindness and force to win their hearts.

Although he had never paid attention to it before, he had seen a lot.

Because of these methods, he has seen too much.

From the ancestors to Lady Wang and Sister-in-law Lian, which one of them does not know how to rule his subordinates?

Who doesn't know how to use both kindness and severity? Who doesn't know how to win people's hearts?
Although Jia Huan couldn't do it, he had seen pigs run even though he had never eaten pork.

If you think about the things around you, you can figure out some clues.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but call Zhao Da and ask him to follow him out.

Jia Huan first went to South Street and bought some rice, flour, grain, oil, and some meat.

The Zhao family is a branch of the Jia family, but the Zhao family only has one concubine, Aunt Zhao, and they did not benefit much from Aunt Zhao.

Therefore, their family did not starve, but they were not rich either.

Therefore, Jia Huan thought that it would be inappropriate to give them too high-end gifts directly.

It would be more practical to give them some rice, flour, grain and oil.

After buying everything, Jia Huan asked General Zhao to move all the things into the car.

At this moment, Zhao Da was still puzzled, unable to figure out what the Third Master bought these things for.

He couldn't help but ask, "Third Master, we've bought the things, where are we going?"

Jia Huan smiled and said, "Let's go to your house first." Zhao Da was suspicious, but Jia Huan didn't say that these things were for their family, so Zhao Da didn't say much.

After a while, the carriage arrived at the Zhao family.

After Zhao Da stopped the car at the door, people from the Zhao family rushed out upon hearing the noise and greeted Jia Huan profusely.

Jia Huan greeted everyone in a friendly manner, and then instructed Zhao Dada: "Zhao Da, the things in the car are for your family. Please move the things into the house first."

Hearing this, Zhao Da couldn't help but say, "How can this be done? Thank you very much for the reward, Third Master."

After entering the house, the people from the Zhao family asked Jia Huan to sit in the main seat.

He poured some good tea and served some fruit and cakes.

After they talked for a while, Jia Huan said to Zhao Da, "Zhao Da, this time I came here, I want you to do something for me."

Zhao Da heard this and said hurriedly, "If you have any errands, Third Master, just tell me."

Jia Huan said, "Zhao Da, you have a few experts who are good at raising homing pigeons. So, for the next period of time, you can let them focus on raising homing pigeons."

"By the way, do you have a vacant yard at home to raise pigeons? If not, you can rent a yard outside, or just buy a cheaper one."

Hearing this, Zhao Da hurriedly said, "Master San, there is an empty house at home, which was originally used to raise homing pigeons."

"That place is big enough, there is no need to rent another house."

Jia Huan was even more delighted when he heard this. He could not help but say, "I have told you the truth. Just don't spread it."

"This is something I did for my Third Brother Cong from the East Mansion. Third Brother Cong has just graduated from high school and naturally has a bright future."

"As long as you do this quietly and well, you will naturally benefit from it in the future!"

"As long as you do well, I will report it to Brother Cong. In the future, I will not only help you escape from slavery, but I will even seek a position for you."

This was the method Jia Huan had been thinking about for a long time.

Just as the third sister said, we must always give them a little hope and a little thought, so that they will be willing to work wholeheartedly.

For the Zhao family, being freed from slavery is not necessarily something they would like.

Although being a servant of the Jia family was not a good thing, it meant that one would not have to worry about food and drink and could save some spare money, which was much better than being an ordinary citizen.

But if they are given a chance to become officials, they will definitely try their best to seize such an opportunity.

This is a chance you may not come across in several lifetimes, an opportunity to bring honor to your family and ancestors!
As expected, after hearing this, Zhao Da couldn't help but kneel down on the ground, trembling with excitement and saying:

"Please rest assured, Third Master. I will do this for you even if it costs me my life."

Jia Huan stood up and helped Zhao Da up from the ground.

Then he said, "Zhao Da, you don't have to be like this. If we're talking about relatives, I'd still call you cousin."

"It's just that due to the rules of the family, I can't talk about it like this. But privately, there's no need to talk about so many rules."

"Brother Cong and I have been friends since we were young. To you, it may be a big deal, but to Brother Cong, it is just a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning."

"As long as you do your work with peace of mind, you will naturally benefit from it."

"Take this hundred taels of silver and try your best to train a batch of contract pigeons. If the silver runs out, just come back to me for more."

"But you must keep good accounts."

"When working for the Third Master, don't be so short-sighted. You will naturally get benefits in the future."

　I saw some brothers in the comment area said that they like Xing Xiuyan very much and asked to accept Xing Xiuyan. Yanyu had no such plan. I want to ask brothers, do you want to accept Xing Xiuyan? You can leave a message in the comment area, so Yanyu can collect everyone's opinions.
