Chapter 56

"Miss, this is Bai Lixing, this is Hu Tang, they are both descendants of Erythronia, and they are already married, but their families are in the countryside, so they are both living in the mansion now." Zi Yu pointed at the two of them. Introduced to.

"Hello, I'm Xiao Tong, please sit down." Xiao Tong pointed to the three chairs opposite.

"Thank you, miss." Xiao Tong's politeness made Bai Lixing and Hu Tang relax a bit. As soon as they sat down, Fu Ling served tea one by one, "Let's have a sip of tea first." This time it was Zi Yuxian greeted.

After drinking tea, Xiao Tong spoke.

"The housekeeper Ziyu has already told you what you are going to do. Now I will add a few points. Now that you have agreed, you need to teach talents with all your heart. Don't be selfish. You won't teach this, and you won't teach that. Teach, as long as you teach seriously, you don’t have to worry about retirement or anything in the future.”

"Besides, the people you want to teach are all servants of our palace, and they are all slaves now. You must not be prejudiced. I don't allow prejudices in words or attitudes. You can do this. Is it?" Xiao Tong stated in advance that she did not want the staff under her to be discriminated against.

"Miss Hui, it can be done." The two hurriedly promised.

"That's good, and I hope you can teach them with your heart. In addition to basic literacy, please also teach them some common sense, etiquette and life principles. I will also instruct them to listen to you and respect you." Xiao Tong let out a sigh of relief. Tone, also made a guarantee.

"Yes, miss, don't worry, we will." Bai Lixing and Hu Tang hurriedly stood up and went back.

"Sit, sit down, you don't need to be too polite." Xiao Tong said hurriedly, watching the two sit down before continuing, "You can go home first to reunite with your family, but please come back as soon as possible. After the people behind are in place, you need to be prepared, including teaching materials and lesson plans.”

"Yes, thank you miss, our two families are not too far from the city, we can go back and forth within three days." Bai Lixing replied as a representative.

"Okay, after you go back to the mansion, report to the housekeeper Ziyu and come to my yard to compose poems, and he will make arrangements. In addition, you may need a book boy in the future, you can bring your own, or you can bring them in the mansion Pick, but there is one thing, they will belong to you in the future, and they will come to you directly when they make a mistake, so please choose carefully." After Xiao Tong instructed, he deeply felt that he was just a housekeeper, and he had to find a secretary to talk.

"Yes, Miss." Both Bai Lixing and Hu Tang felt at this moment that Xiao Tong was a good person.

"Okay, then you guys go to pack up and prepare first, thank you, housekeeper Ziyu." Xiao Tong felt that he had said enough, so he said.

"Miss, you're being polite, so the inferiors will leave first." Zi Yu stood up as a representative and bid farewell.

"Okay, you guys go to work." Xiao Tong nodded and stood up and said.

Xiao Tong studied by himself again, and it was time for lunch. This time it was time to compose poems for dinner, and Fu Ling was still in the study. Seeing compose poems, Xiao Tong remembered that he had a lot of things to do. Walk and talk all the way.

"Fushi, how many empty courtyards are there in the mansion?"

"A lot of them are idle on weekdays. Miss, is it useful?"

"Well, how big are the yards? Are there three empty yards connected?"

"They are all similar to Hongfangyuan, but if all three are connected, one of them is smaller than Hongfangyuan, and the other two are the same size."

"Is the small yard on the side or in the middle?"

"Beside."

"That's okay. In this way, Fu Shi, you clear out the three courtyards, and then buy more bedding and other beds, daily necessities for washing and daily use, as well as office items such as paper and inkstone. Then arrange the courtyards. The courtyard in the middle refers to the layout of the private school outside. The courtyards on both sides are all converted into living rooms, depending on the size, there can be two to four people living there, and the interior layout must not be bad.” Classrooms and dormitories for male and female students need to be furnished in advance.

"Yes, miss, what is the grade of the prepared items? Do you need high-grade ones?" Fu Shi hasn't heard anything about it yet, so he doesn't know anything about it.

"How long?" Xiao Tong repeated in doubt, and then said, "The daily necessities can't be too bad, and the office supplies can be a little worse. It's fine to replace them after a period of time. They are all for the people who will follow me in the future. Ling knows better, you can discuss it with him." After speaking, he reached the entrance of the dining room, Xiao Tong stopped, and speaking of this, two teachers will come three days later.

"Also, three days later, the two staff members who were with Housekeeper Ziyu will be transferred to be teachers, and the courtyards where they live will also need to be rearranged. They will be arranged near the three courtyards just mentioned. The layout is based on the previous teachers in the mansion. Fuling should have heard about this matter, and you should discuss it. Also, for poetry, they will come to you if they want to buy teaching supplies. If you decide, you can find housekeeper Ziyu or me."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Tong let out a sigh of relief, what I said today, I am afraid that this is the day with the most.

"Yes, Miss." Seeing that Xiao Tong stopped talking, Fu Shi and Fu Ling hurriedly responded.

"Almost forgot, writing poems, the most important thing is that there should be nothing out of the ordinary, it must be in line with common sense, do you understand what I mean?" There are many taboos in modern times, not to mention the current feudal society, which requires more.

"Miss Hui, Fushi understands, and I will always pay attention to it." Fushi is a smart person, of course he understands, even if Xiao Tong didn't say it, he would definitely pay attention.

"That's good. There is one more thing, to write poems. Is there any empty room the size of a study in Tongfang Courtyard?" There are many things to do today.

"Yes, the compartments on both sides of the study have been empty."

"That's good. You go to eat first, and come back after eating. There are still things for you to do." Xiao Tong thought about setting up a meeting room. There are a lot of people who need to meet after dinner. It is no longer suitable.

"Yes, Miss." Fu Ling and Fu Shi obediently went down to eat.

Xiao Tong looked at the rich dishes on the table, his heart was gloomy, he was eating alone again, Mo Li...should be eating too...

Xiao Tong finished his meal and looked at the two rooms next to the study. Poetry and Fu Ling came back soon. Xiao Tong pointed to the larger room and roughly talked about how to arrange it. There was no large rectangular conference table, so he had to retreat. Secondly, I chose a large square table.

By the way, I also explained how to arrange the smaller rooms, referring to the general manager's office, but there is no sofa or anything.However, after the director of Fushi arranged the arrangement, Xiao Tong saw it unexpectedly well.

Leaving two people who wrote poems and spirits to direct the arrangement, Xiao Tong went for a walk after dinner according to his usual habit, but he was not in the usual good mood, no one next to him talked to you, it was really a simple walk after dinner alone.

Back in the study, Fu Shi reported that the meeting room had been properly arranged and the office was being set up. Xiao Tong's depressed mood was a little better.
