Chapter 756 is not false at all
Gu Erzhu's words were not false at all. Before he came to the capital, he really didn't expect that Chang Huaian would be in charge of the house here.
Like this time, the old son and daughter-in-law wanted to give "local specialties" to a few people with whom they had friendly relationships. If he and his wife didn't visit anyone's house, Chang Huaian would have to deliver it.
Then there is the house and Zhuangzi shop here. The shop is okay, just rent it out and get the rent, but this house, like Zhuangzi, is inseparable from human relationships.
No, a few years ago someone asked Sanya's sister-in-law to borrow the courtyard in Sanya's village to hold a banquet, and she even sent a lot of "kindnesses" afterwards, so it was up to this kid Huai'an to help.
Since there are so many people in the capital, Gu Erzhu thought for a moment that the house in Yangzhou Prefecture owned by Zhou Banxia was bigger and more valuable.
Furthermore, the number of Zhuangzi shops on the dowry list was also the largest in Jiangnan, so at this time he mentioned that Chang Qing’s second son, Chang Huaigu, was no easier there than here.
It was also this time that he came to the capital, and he could better understand why Chang Qing always mentioned that he had to send Steward Dexin to take over the Yangzhou Prefecture as soon as possible.
Although there was Chang Huaigu at the other end, staring at the head of the village, there were so many things that one person could take care of, and Chang Qing was afraid that his son wouldn't be able to suppress them.
Fortunately, there is Sanya's uncle's Zhou Mansion at the other end. Not only is there a housekeeper, but Sanya's aunt still has several rooms to accompany her, and she is still running the shop there.
If the dowry has not been in Sanya's name for a long time, the servants who want to reach out to thieves should carefully consider whether they will be betrayed, and they should not dare to enrich their own pockets in the short term.
"He is just busy. That shop is rented out. He just needs to keep an eye on the accounts of Zhuangzi and Tea House to see if there is any fraud. It will be easy to take care of."
Chang Qing dared to say this, but his son Chang Huaian didn't dare to say anything. In terms of ability, his brother was much better than him, but how easy was it to take care of him?
It can't be.
Seeing that his father and their young lady's father-in-law were chatting again, Chang Huaian turned his head and smiled at Gu Dahua, and softly mentioned that they could take the time to get together some night.
Gu Dahua also had this intention. Before going to Jiangnan, it would be better and more convenient to ask Chang Huai'an for more advice and information.
He wouldn't know that not only the master wanted him to take over the general affairs and become the real second butler as soon as possible, but the chief steward also wanted him to practice more as soon as possible so that he could be given the position of chief steward.
It is generally known that the big butler's thoughts are not on the butler's control at all, but more on helping the girl and the future young master train more guards.
In addition, the two brothers Chang Huaian are still serving as housekeepers in the south and north respectively. To avoid suspicion, one of the two brothers will be transferred back to Yuyuan sooner or later.
In the past, Chang Huaian's family might have been transferred back to Yuyuan by their master, but from his current perspective, Chang Huaian would still be around in the capital for three to five years.
Even if Gu Youxin is capable, he is not suitable because of his young age. Even if Chang Huaian wants to let go, he still has to keep Youxin with him for two or three years.
In this way, if one of the Chang brothers was transferred back, it would be Chang Huaigu's family who would be transferred back to Yuyuan and become the master's right-hand man with him.
First, the chief steward also has an eldest daughter in Yangzhou Mansion, unlike the old daughter's husband, who is still the old steward of the Zhou Mansion, Uncle Fu, who is the chief steward of the Zhou Mansion in the capital.
And his eldest daughter's husband's family is a real Yangzhou Zhou. No matter how dedicated he is, he will definitely not be as loyal as Uncle Fu, the old housekeeper of the Zhou family, and his father and son.
With the way the eldest housekeeper and his wife acted, they couldn't escape the worry that if they were not there, the eldest daughter's husband would be greedy and find their son.
Furthermore, the two chief housekeepers were worried that the Chang family would be the sole leader, and they wished they could bring him out as soon as possible to replace their two sons. How could they let his family become the sole leader. Not to mention that he was valued by the second master, the housekeepers and his wife, who only thought about the second mistress, could not help but worry that the second master would suppress the second mistress. His wife was still the wife's housekeeper.
I wonder if he can think of all these aspects, and Chang Huaian also knows it well. I hope he is as understanding as the big housekeeper and can talk to Chang Huaigu before he arrives in Yangzhou Mansion.
Outsiders don't know, how could he not know what the second master is thinking.
On the surface, it seems that he is following the big housekeeper's plan. The second master asked him to take people to visit the second mistress's shop this year, but in fact, he still wants to buy property around the second mistress's shop.
In the words of the second master, he will be busy with two major things this year.
The first is to go through all the houses and shops under the name of the second grandmother, and get a good feel for it, so that if there is a suitable opportunity, I can buy a shop nearby.
Secondly, the most important thing is to replace and arrange manpower to integrate the farm tea shop on the second mistress’s dowry list with the newly purchased farm shop.
As long as there is anyone who blocks it, except for a limited number of stewards and village heads whose fathers have made contributions, the guards will be allowed to take all the sales without relying on 100% solid evidence.
The second master is determined to be a villain this time, and he wants to help the second mistress to kill chickens and scare monkeys.
Chang Huaigu must cooperate with him well later, and he will naturally become the second master's right-hand man, otherwise he will not be able to get along well even for the sake of the housekeeper and his wife...
There is also a curfew in the Imperial City.
Liu's mother and daughter were still in the Zhou Mansion. Gu Erzhu estimated that it was almost time and stood up when the topic came to an end. Seeing this, Gu Dahua didn't think about it anymore.
"What were you thinking about before you came out?" Gu Erzhu and other Chang Qing father and son who insisted on escorting him back to the Zhou Mansion left, and couldn't help but curiously asked Gu Dahua.
Gu Dahua sneered, "I'm wondering if I should send a letter to the second master first, and count the days. It seems that the manager at the Gao Mansion is about to go shopping again."
Gu Erzhu knew that the high-ranking steward who often went to the workshop to deliver banknotes and pull goods was celebrating the New Year in the capital, but he didn't know whether he was still in the capital after celebrating the Lantern Festival.
"Is the person still here?"
"It should still be there. You are here, sir. Before he leaves the capital to go to the workshop to collect goods, he will always come here and say hello to the butler even if he doesn't see you.
He would at least help his eldest lady and ask the master if you and your wife have anything you want him to take back. It's probably because the housekeeper didn't mention it, it must still be here. ”
This is true, the Gaofu is a Gaofu, and he is still the housekeeper of the eldest young lady of the Gaofu. Coming out to say hello represents the friendship between the eldest young lady of the Gaofu and his family.
Another thing, the child's mother mentioned the night before that the eldest mistress of the Gaofu family wanted to add scented candles this year, but she also didn't mention that she had sent a steward to the workshop to find Sanya.
Gu Erzhu hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yes, this is also a way. It is much faster. There is no need to send it to Zhoujiacun and hand it over to the escort agency. It is much faster.
There is another way. If you have something you need to send home urgently, you can go to Ruyifang in the capital. The shopkeeper here knows how to transfer the things to Sanya as soon as possible. ”
