The next day.

Xu Jingye asked his family to guard a large pile of property, and he came to see Zhang Tian with a gift book.

Zhang Tian took a quick look and said, "It is impolite not to reciprocate. You should register the people who gave gifts, and if they have any festive days, give them a gift in return."

There are hundreds of families who gave gifts.

If there is no special person to manage, it is not easy to remember these hundreds of families.

Moreover, you have to keep an eye on some information of each family at any time, and when they have a happy event, such as a wedding, birthday, etc., you should take the initiative to return the gift without waiting for an invitation.

This is the way of etiquette.

If Zhang Tian is asked to handle these miscellaneous matters, he must be overwhelmed.

If Xu Wen is in charge, then there is no need to take the imperial examination, and he can be a housekeeper for life.

Xu Jingye said respectfully: "Yes, Immortal. How should these properties be handled?"

Zhang Tian said: "You decide. I asked you to help, isn't it to take care of these chores?"

"Uh... OK. Thank you for your trust!"

Hundreds of thousands of silver coins and many rare items, Zhang Tian threw them all to Xu Jingye with just one word "chores".

If it were in other masters' houses, even a first or second rank court official would not be able to throw them to the housekeeper so casually.

Otherwise, just the gifts given back to each family, I don't know how much money could be embezzled.

Xu Jingye was terrified, shocked by Zhang Tian's courage, and grateful for his trust.

Xu Jingye said, "Goddess, I have specially sent three servants over. A cook and a couple."

"They are all honest people with clean backgrounds."

"The cook is from my concubine's family. Her husband and children work for my concubine's family. I know her well and she is a good cook."

"The couple is about fifty years old. Although they are old, they still have strength. They are honest and honest. They don't look at what they shouldn't look at and don't say what they shouldn't say."

"They were originally servants of a criminal minister. When the Dali Temple convicted the minister, all the servants in the family Everyone said something, but the couple said nothing. "

"They were convicted of a serious crime and were released from prison two years ago."

"I have no roots in Lin'an Prefecture, and I was afraid of hiring some unclean people. So, after they were released from prison, I invited them to my home to help at a high price."

"Now, it's just right to send them to Shangxian Mansion."

Zhang Tian nodded: "Thank you for your trouble."

"It should be, Shangxian. They are waiting at the gate outside the mansion. I will call them in now."

"Okay."

Xu Jingye quickly brought three people in.

The cook was about thirty years old, with quick hands and feet, wearing a piece of flowered cloth on her head, and looked pleasing to the eye.

The couple looked a little dull. Although they were about fifty years old, they were in good health.

The three saluted Zhang Tian and secretly glanced at him with some curiosity.

Yesterday, their former master Xu Jingye called them together and said that he would send them to the "immortal"'s house to work.

He repeatedly told them, even a little naggingly, that they must work diligently and not make mistakes.

As for the monthly salary, it was doubled.

The three of them heard that a "living immortal" had come to Lin'an Prefecture, and they had heard most of the miraculous deeds.

Originally, they thought they would have to go to a temple or a cave with incense burning to do their work.

Unexpectedly, it was just an ordinary mansion.

The so-called "immortal" in front of them was no different from an ordinary young man except that his hair and face were a little strange.

Zhang Tian took out the three red envelopes that Xu Jingye had prepared early, distributed them to the three people, and said: "You are new here, this is the opening gift."

"Thank you, immortal!!" The three of them took the return gift.

Zhang Tian said: "I don't have many rules here, but there is one rule: don't rush to do the work that Su'er likes to do."

"If she doesn't understand, teach her, just don't let her get hurt."

"For the rest, let Manager Xu tell you."

Zhang Tian's first impression was that he was very satisfied with the three new workers.

Xu Jingye was able to travel thousands of miles to Lin'an Prefecture to do business and also lay a foundation. This is indeed a good eye for people.

…………

After the two eunuchs returned to the palace, many people went to them in a roundabout way to ask for information.

For this, they got a lot of reward silver.

When Zhuo Ping heard that Zhang Tian had passed on a set of swordsmanship to Tiedong, he suddenly became uneasy.

Zhang Tian made him a promise casually at the beginning.

Originally, Zhuo Ping didn't expect it to be fulfilled. If Zhang Tian didn't mention it, he didn't dare to ask about it.

Now that Tiedong, a "servant", has received the teachings of the God General, if he is not a little thick-skinned, he might miss this chance to become an immortal.

So, he asked the emperor for a day off.

The next day, he prepared a few gifts, tied them with red ropes, and came to Zhang Tian's house.

NowXu Jingye, who was in Zhang Tian's house, spent most of his time during the day.

The four shops were all managed by his family and subordinates. He would go back to check the accounts at night.

Seeing Zhuo Ping coming with gifts, he hurriedly welcomed him in.

"Mr. Zhong, are you looking for the immortal?"

Zhuo Ping nodded and bowed to Xu Jingwei, saying, "Yes, please inform the shopkeeper Xu."

"Mr. Zhong is too polite."

Xu Jingye was flattered these days.

He had just become a disciple of Zhang Tian, ​​and those people who were like heaven were suddenly polite to him.

This was something he would never dare to think of before.

Fortunately, he was a man of forty after all, and he knew that the source of all this was Zhang Tian, ​​so he did not get carried away.

Zhang Tian heard that Zhuo Ping was coming, and thought that the emperor had something to convey again, so he had to call Xu Wen and go to the living room together.

Zhuo Ping was holding a few gifts in his hands, and he was not wearing the clothes of the palace, but a set of brown clothes of ordinary people.

Not luxurious, but very decent.

When he saw Zhang Tian, ​​Zhuo Ping knelt down and held the gift high with both hands.

"I am Zhuo Ping, the humble one, and I pay my respects to the Immortal."

Usually, when Zhuo Ping represented the emperor on business trips, he would call himself "Zhongjia".

Today, he called himself "the humble one" again and did not wear palace clothes. Zhang Tian could tell that he came for private matters.

Zhang Tian said: "Get up first, we are all old acquaintances, why are you doing this?"

Zhuo Ping did not get up, hesitating: "I...I have a favor to ask."

Zhang Tian said: "You are close to the emperor, shouldn't you ask the emperor for help?"

Zhuo Ping said: "This matter...only the immortal can do it, I can only be thick-skinned and ask the immortal."

Zhang Tian gestured to Xu Jingye to accept the gift, "You tell me. I'll see if I can help."

Zhuo Ping said: "Immortal, outside Xiangyang City that day, the immortal saw me drawing a small picture with charcoal, and said that when he was free in the future, he could teach me a sketch book."

"When I first came to Lin'an Prefecture, I saw that the immortal was always busy, so I didn't dare to disturb you."

"Today I asked the emperor for leave, and I came here presumptuously. May I ask if the immortal can..."
