In the evening, the sky was full of red clouds, and shouts were constantly heard in the martial arts field of Ningguo Mansion.
Jiao Da was the instructor of the martial arts hall, and he taught the children of the Jia family to practice the"Pine Crane Longevity Fist" in a serious manner, laying the foundation for martial arts. With a dignified seventh-rank martial artist sitting in the martial arts hall, who dared to act presumptuously here?
Therefore, all the sword-carrying guards around had gone to the West Mountain to be responsible for the construction of the Longxiang Guard Barracks.
"Brother!"
Jia Xuan returned to the courtyard leisurely, and a small figure rushed towards him. Who else could it be but Xichun?
"Ouch!"
""Haha!"
He reached out with both hands and held Xichun in his arms. The boy and girl were having a great time playing together.
The others present were jealous, especially Lin Daiyu, who had no family since childhood and was even more envious.
"Everyone is here."
Holding Xichun in his arms, Jia Xuan nodded to Youshi, Qin Keqing, and Li Wan.
"Second brother!"
"Second uncle!"
""Brother Xuan!"
Youshi, Qin Keqing, and Li Wan hurriedly greeted him.
Although these women were the most important mistresses in the Ning and Rong mansions, they did not dare to act arrogantly in front of the young man.
"The Jia family school has always been adjacent to the Rongguo Mansion, and I heard that all the expenses were paid out of the account there."
"Since the martial arts hall has been established, it should be under the responsibility of Ningguo Mansion, and all expenses should be taken care of here."
"Brother Zhen and Brother Rong are rough in their work and not meticulous. I have some things that need Sister-in-law and Brother Rong's wife to do."
Looking at Youshi and Qin Keqing, Jia Xuan said
"Hmm?"
Youshi and Qin Keqing were confused.
Only Li Wan seemed to have guessed something, with a gleam in her eyes.
"At present, there are 25 children of the Jia family. Soon, the clansmen from the ten branches of Jinling will come, about dozens of people."
"These people do not need to have the best food and supplies, but they must ensure that they are adequately supplied, especially meat."
"In addition, I heard that many of the families here are in a very difficult situation, such as Lou Dasaozi, Zhou, Wusaozi, etc."
"Each family was given 100 taels of silver, and 10 taels of silver were allocated monthly to supplement their household expenses."
"Each student in the martial arts hall is issued four sets of uniforms each year, all of which are warrior uniforms, thick-soled cloth shoes, and a fine steel long sword."
"If anyone wants to do business, the mansion can support them, lend them capital, or arrange a shop."
The way to rule subordinates has always been to combine kindness and power. If Jia Xuan wants to completely subdue these Jia family children, it is not enough to just teach them martial arts. The poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts. First of all, we need to solve the difficult situation of these people's families from the perspective of life.
For the huge Ningguo Mansion, let alone a hundred taels per person, even a thousand taels is nothing, but this money is enough for them to pay their loyalty.
‘So that's how it is.'
After hearing this, Youshi and Qin Keqing breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded in agreement.
"Brother Xuan!"
"Aunt Zhao was called over to set the rules. Two hours had passed."
"Brother Huan, isn't it?...."
Li Wan was about to speak but stopped.
A click!
Everyone present was shocked.
Jia Huan had just entered the martial arts hall when Lady Wang made this move. It was obvious that she was dissatisfied with Jia Xuan.
"hehe!"
"Ignorant woman, don't bother with her"
"Even if you build a red building and entertain guests, what's the harm? Let's see when the building collapses."
"This kind of thing may not be a bad thing for Jia Huan."
"A sharp sword is sharpened by grinding, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Without difficulties and obstacles, how can one become a talent?"
Jia Xuan showed a sneer on his face. Mrs. Wang was nothing. She was just a foolish woman. It would be a piece of cake to deal with her.
But the Wang family was different. They relied on the resources and connections of the Jia family to develop wildly, and in the end, they wanted to become the host. How could they tolerate this? If they were to do it, they had to do it thoroughly, and send Wang Ziteng and others to hell, and there would be no recovery.
""Bang!!!"
As soon as the words fell,
Youshi, Qin Keqing, and Li Wan all changed their expressions, and a sense of unease arose in their hearts.
If Jia Xuan was furious, it would be fine to vent his anger, but now there was no movement, who knew he was not preparing a big move?
"elder brother!"
"I also want to go to the martial arts hall."
At this time, Xichun said in a baby voice
"Oh?"
Jia Xuan immediately smiled and asked warmly,"Why do you want to go to the martial arts hall, sister?""
"elder brother"
"After I came to Dongfu, only Sister Lin played with me"
"In the Wu Hall, there are Huan'er and Lan'er."
Xichun shook her little head, looking indescribably adorable.
Hearing this, Jia Xuan's eyes flashed with guilt. It was indeed that he had not considered this point. In Rongguo Mansion, Yingchun and Tanchun had accompanied Xichun since childhood. Ningguo Mansion had few people, and Youshi and Qin Keqing could not accompany little Xichun.
"The brother was wrong. He did not consider his sister."
"The martial arts hall is full of men, it would be inconvenient for my sister to go there"
"How about this? I'll ask my eldest sister-in-law to send someone to invite my second and third sisters to come to the mansion to play every day."
"When the time comes, you can practice the Great Zhou Tian Dao Yin Technique with them, okay?"
Facing Xiao Xichun, Jia Xuan always spoke in a gentle and auspicious manner, showing the demeanor of a brother.
"Good!"
Little Xichun nodded her head, her face full of joy.
"It's getting late, why don't we have dinner here?"
"Bei Shi!"
Waving his hand, Jia Xuan ordered
""Yes!"
Bei Shi hurried down to make arrangements.
For the sake of safety and secrecy, there have always been only retainers in this courtyard, no maids or old women, and Jia Xuan does not need anyone to serve him. In addition to guarding, the retainers also serve as cooks and waiters.
"Thank you, Brother Xuan."
Lin Daiyu received Jia Xuan's invitation, raised her eyebrows, and happily agreed.
Yu Shi, Qin Keqing, and Li Wan, who had originally wanted to leave, thought that Jia Xuan was entertaining guests, so they simply followed him into the inner room.
The group sat in the main hall, with wine glasses simply placed on the table and freshly warmed rice wine next to them.
""Master!"
At this time, several attendants came in with trays and placed the dishes neatly.
All of a sudden, the five women present were dumbfounded. On the table, besides a plate of well-cooked beef, there were only some pickles, a few black and white round objects, and a few yellow rice.
"Second brother, this...."
You Shi didn't know what to say.
The Jia family had always been extravagant. The masters usually ate the imperial field rouge rice and green glutinous rice, and only the servants ate white glutinous rice and white glutinous rice.
Cereals were only used to make some cakes, and those were carefully selected and purchased. When had they ever seen such things?
""Eat."
Glancing at Youshi and the other girls, Jia Xuan picked up his bowl and ate with pickles.
Seeing this, Youshi, Qin Keqing, and Li Wan hesitated and picked up a black and white steamed bun, tore it open with their hands, and put it into their mouths bit by bit. However, the rough texture made it difficult for them to chew, let alone swallow.
On the contrary, Lin Daiyu and Xichun were happy with it. During this period, they seemed to be accustomed to Jia Xuan's style.
"Bran flour steamed buns, yellow rice."
Jia Xuan raised his head and said seriously:"But even these things are not available to ordinary people."
"At this time of year, spring is coming, and nomadic tribes come south in droves to plunder, kill, burn, and commit all kinds of evil."
"Because the grassland is bitterly cold, it is not easy to survive the cold winter covered with heavy snow."
"The rich are living in luxury, but there are people freezing to death on the streets. How many ordinary people can the Jia family support with their daily expenses?"
"In addition to meat, the Wutang supplies all this kind of food, so that they can always know that life is not easy."
"I hope you can understand this, the Jia family is not high and mighty, one day they will fall to dust, that is when the real suffering begins, I hope that day will never come."
"Yes!"
Youshi, Qin Keqing, and Li Wan seemed to be touched. They endured the discomfort and chewed the bran buns one by one to finish the meal.
