After finishing all these things just now, the two siblings sighed. They only sent Yang Zixuan off in the morning, and in the afternoon, they received a letter from Zuo Renyou.
The man passed the letter to Mu Jinzhi. At that time, he was playing chess with Zuo Ren Xian in the study room. After reading the letter, he anxiously shouted: "Xi Yan, quickly go to the village and bring back the young lady."
Because it was close to the end of the year, Mu Fengchai returned to the county city, and only Qin Taohua was at home. After Mu Rousang finished cooking, he went to the Qin family to look for Mu Rousang, and after hearing about it, he went back to the village to look for Mu Rousang, saying that Mu Jinzhi had something she did not understand, as for what it was she wanted to ask her about.
Mu Rousang was a little worried, hence the lass came back in a hurry and said: "Big brother! Is there something you need from me? "
"Yes, Uncle has sent a letter saying that the Ministry of Public Affairs has made it clear that Uncle will return to the capital to continue his duties."
"Oh!" Mu Rousang realized that she had thought of it wrong.
Zuo Ren Xian was seated at the side, but seeing that she was not anxious, he asked: "Does little cousin know? We will be returning to the Shu City the next day. "
"Why are you in such a hurry? It's only been eight years since I've been back in the capital." Mu Rousang, on the other hand, did not feel anything.
"That's not it, little cousin. About that, when my father wants to return to the capital to resume his duties, he has to head back immediately to the capital by the end of the day!"
"What?" Mu Rousang was shocked, and said: "Didn't you only return to the capital after the new year?"
Only then did Mu Jinzhi realize that she did not know the rules here, and hurriedly replied: "Of course not, after the fifteenth day, we will start writing. We will not be waiting until the first month of the new year! "After the first month, it will officially be the day of the assembly."
"Ah, ah, what should we do now? We have to pack everything we have at home!" Mu Rousang suddenly stood up, she was as anxious as an ant by a hot pot!
Mu Jinzhi laughed: Don't be anxious, I will take care of the things outside, I think our things are mostly in the small mountain village and mansion, in the county, they are already packaged and locked up, if there is nothing important, don't worry about it, wait till the people behind pack them slowly.
Mu Rousang stomped her feet and said: "You guys still have the leisure to play chess!"
I have already arranged everything outside. As for the Wangfu-Tzu, I have already sent some people to invite them, and have them bring the Wangfu-Tzu and Uncle Wang's family to the capital according to what we had discussed earlier. Furthermore, with these servants by our side, the time was too short.
Mu Jinzhi told her calmly, and then said: "Don't worry, you only packed some soft and precious things, other things are fine with me, leave the furniture at home, when we settle down, I will have someone take them to the capital."
"Got it, I'll go and clean it up now." Mu Rousang also thought that he was being too impatient.
He hurriedly brought the Aunt Liu and his own girls to pack their things. After he went to the capital, he was afraid that he would not be able to bring out the things in the space, so he said to the Aunt Liu, "Aunt, I'll trouble you to help me with this matter. First, I'll go to the storehouse and check up the things in the storehouse.
Aunt Liu thought for a moment, then said: "I still have to ask young lady to tell cook to make more food, today is already the eighth day, tomorrow would be the ninth day, to rush to Shu City, and would have to walk for ten days everyday. This time, I'm afraid we will need to travel day and night to reach the capital."
She thought for a moment and said, "Auntie is right, we don't have much here, but it's the one that eats the most, so besides the New Year festival gift, we picked more rabbit meat with sauce. The weather is extremely cold, so you should remember to ask cook to put in more spicy seeds, right, and make some more soy duck, these are all easy to let go, the weather is cold, so we aren't afraid of spoils."
"This servant will deal with this matter first!" Spring Scene immediately took on this task first. If a few people laughed, the originally tense atmosphere would dissipate by 70%.
"Alright, I was too anxious. Chun Yan, Chun Jing, you follow Aunt Liu and be his assistant. Chun Feng, go and find Manager Zhang. I have something to discuss with him."
Everyone had already come to a conclusion, but because Your Majesty had always been keeping Zuo Renyou's paper money, they did not send it to him.
Seeing that everyone had left, Mu Rousang took out the key from her spatial space and entered his room to open the private room. Inside the private room, there was a pile of antiques, which Mu Jinzhi and Yang Zixuan obtained when they participated in the sieging of the bandits.
"Ai, life is really passing in a flash. In a blink of an eye, I'm going to be old." She reached over and pulled the covers off the box, which was already covered with a thick layer of dust.
He opened the box and saw that they were all vases, gold fumigating furnaces, plates of gold and silver, calligraphy and paintings. After thinking for a while, he took out a few wooden boxes that were used to store fabric, and a thousand or so rabbit skins and placed them in each of the boxes. He then took out the pearls, which were now five dozen or more.
Mu Rousang caressed the carved box and laughed: "A pearl with a bead hole is worth dozens of silver taels each. Hehe, our big brother's house is the least to worry about, we will take you to the capital and slowly change it. If you have too much money, you will really suffer a crushing defeat! "
"Lady! Girl! "Where are you?" The sound of Spring Scene's gluttonous voice came from outside.
"I'm here, here in the little private bank!" She stood in the storeroom and answered casually.
Hearing the voice, Chun Jing immediately went to the back of the bed, pushed open the door of the private room and saw Mu Rousang there, he smiled: "I just saw that the door isn't locked, so I guessed that the lady must be here."
"Mm, Spring Scene. You came just in time. Help me carry these boxes out."
Mu Rousang immediately added seven or eight more of them. She felt that there were too many bunny skins in the space, so she simply brought them out a little more, if she couldn't use them all up, she would give them to the four big girls, and if she couldn't use them all, she would leave them for her descendants to use.
Chun Jing looked at the pile of boxes on the roof, then looked at where Mu Rousang was standing, and asked: "I need to find a ladder, I don't know what kind of idiot placed this high up back then!"
When Mu Rousang heard this, her face darkened. She felt that in the eyes of Chun Jing, this silly fellow, she had become a fool!
"The warehouse is too small! In addition, you must be careful with the jade and bronze artifacts on the shelves. All of these items are from the previous dynasty. First, take down some empty boxes and bring them inside. " She thought for a moment and then said, "Come back. When you brought the ladder, you brought a new book along with you. These are all booklets."
One of them was carefully packing up the items. She took a look and said: "Miss, I'm afraid this won't do, how about I remove some straw and stuff them inside so we won't be broken in the carriage."
Mu Rousang looked at them and said, "Register and pack them all in the subboxes. After Spring Dye and the others are done, we can do all of this. She did not want those precious things to be obtained by those girls and their wives who served her outside.
The two had just finished half of their work when Chun Feng found them and said: "Miss, Manager Zhang is already waiting in the hall."
Hearing that, Mu Rousang rubbed her forehead, looked at the Accounts in her hands, and said: "Chun Feng, help me register, remember to write it clearly, and do what I said earlier. Just show me the accounts tonight." She still knew how many things there were in her family.
"Yes, my lady!" Spring Wind took the booklet and continued to busy himself with the scenery.
However, Mu Rousang dusted herself off with the handkerchief. Seeing that her clothes were not dirty, he walked out of the west side towards the main hall.
"Miss, are you looking for a servant for Shang Jing?" Seeing her coming out, Zhang Fukang immediately asked. He was so excited in his heart, Mu Jinzhi's words earlier made him want to pick a fight.
Mu Rousang thought for a moment, then said: "Brother Fu Kang, you have been to our family for nine years, I believe you understand a bit about the matters of the family."
"Yes, young master has already mentioned the smaller ones." Zhang Fukang carefully replied.
Mu Rousang laughed: You don't have to be so anxious, the matter regarding your first wife, has already been investigated by the yamen. I and my brother naturally have no worries about you, once Wangfu-Tzu comes, I will arrange for him to meet you again, although the time is a bit short, I plan to ask Wangfu-Tzu to head to the capital after the new year, and take some time to guide you, are you able to take care of the three villas?
"To reply young lady, this servant will definitely work hard to take care of these three villas." Zhang Fukang could not hide his joy after hearing this.
Mu Rousang pursed her lips and laughed: "You will be the manager of these three villas in the future, managing director of these three villas. You will be in charge of the production and distribution of the farmlands, but for one thing, you will only have to register and create all of the production, and once the harvest is over, naturally there will be people who will come and take care of the production.
"Yes, my lady!" Zhang Fukang knew that his young lady was not someone who could be fooled easily, and he didn't dare to think about her wrongly anymore.
Mu Rousang laughed: Little Mountain Village is a treasure land, you will know about it in the future. Leave the orchard in Granddad's care, every year, Zi Xuan's merchant group will come to collect the fruits, you don't have to worry about that, since you have been promoted to the position of manager here, and from now on, you will have to compare the monthly allowance with the Wangfu-Tzu's three levels.
Zhang Fukang was overjoyed upon hearing this, he had only spent twenty silver coins a month. Although Mu Rousang was the host, he still bought a house in the village, built a small courtyard and added another ten acres of paddy field for his family to use. He also invited a cook to live quite comfortably.
"Thank you, young lady. This servant will definitely work hard!"
Zhang Fukang knew that a fortune could only cost him 50 taels of silver per year. With such a high status, he could get 65 taels of silver per year.
