Spring House Storm 020 Taming Brother

  Qin Wan took a deep breath, suppressing her nervousness and trying to speak calmly. "Since Xiang Xing is the top-ranked maid in the manor and was personally chosen by the mistress, you'll be in charge of communicating with the manor and receiving our monthly allowance. Shallow Jade and Cloud Veil will take care of my and Huan'er's clothes and jewelry, while New Moon and Smoke Emerald will handle food. The four of you are all ranked second-class in the manor. Tomorrow, when Purple Lotus arrives, she'll be responsible for running errands outside, and the other maids' assignments will be arranged by Xiang Xing."

  Qin Wan's arrangement was well-considered, leaving only Xiang Li as the first-class servant, making it seem that the main house was unusually low-key. Besides, whether Xin Yue or Qian Yu was more suitable for managing the inner courtyard of the mansion also needed to be observed. Fortunately, they had previously been second-class servants in the manor, so they wouldn't have any opinions on this matter.

  Xiang Xing looked at Qin Wan with some surprise. Her momentum was no less than that of the second young lady. If she were to arrange these things, perhaps the second young lady wouldn't be able to do it either.

  She was not allowed to get close, she was unhappy in her heart, but the command of other maids and the source of external affairs all came from her, which also gave her a lot of face, and it can be said that she had a good job. Her expression also eased a lot, and she busily smiled and bowed to thank her.

  After everything was arranged, Qin Wan pulled Shen Huan into the inner courtyard.

  "Hurry up and help me change my clothes, I'm all wet." Qin Wan said in a low voice as soon as she entered the door.

  Qian Yu immediately went to the closet and took out a set of snow-white robes, Xinyue helped her change into them.

  Qin Wan took over the tea handed by Xin Yue and took a big sip, only then did she let out a sigh of relief.

  Chen Huan watched her smile. His sister was too tense, but she had a bright future because of her cleverness and insight.

  Qin Yu heard and changed into new clothes before coming in.

  "Yunxiang, go and find out when Third Uncle is coming back."

  Yun Piao heard Chen Huan's order and hurriedly responded before leaving.

  "What's it to you?" Qin Yu was unhappy.

  Chen Huan reluctantly explained, "Brother, now that we're living in the mansion, let's not always show our dislike for them on our faces. Letting Yun Shang go and ask around will also make the Third House think we value Third Uncle, and only Yun Shang can find out the truth. After all, she is someone from the Third House."

  Qin Yu looked bewildered, Qin Wan gazed at Chen Huan seriously, but also didn't fully understand Chen Huan's intention.

  Actually, Chen Huan really wanted to know when Qin Songtao would return. Secondly, she wanted to test Cloud's weight. The people around her, she had to be very clear about it, otherwise, it was very dangerous.

  "Qian Yu, you must pay more attention to Xiang Xing and be on your guard." Qin Wan instructed.

  Qian Yu nodded in agreement, she had seen everything just now and naturally understood.

  "Get out, all of you." Chen Huan waved his hand.

  When there was no one else around, Shen Huan said, "Brother, why don't you raise Lu's wages to two taels?"

  "Ah, why? Too much!" Qin Yu widened her eyes.

  "Are you going to take care of the tea shop yourself?" Xing Huan raised an eyebrow, "Grandmother's 800 mu of tea mountain is about to sprout new tea leaves, and we need to arrange for tea picking and processing. The tea shop needs to prepare for selling new tea. What about the mess caused by Second Uncle? Is the house in Qing Shan County still empty? Should it be rented out? Do you know how to negotiate the price? Nan Chun Zhuang in Xi He County is also up for rent, and the lease is almost due. Will we rent it again this year? If so, should the price be raised? How much should it be raised by? Should we calculate the yield of previous years? Mother's tea shop has been closed for nearly half a year, what should we do with it? The silk shop business has not been good, does brother know how to deal with it? Now that the season has changed, we need to update our inventory, otherwise, it won't sell well. What about the old stock that's been squeezed out?"

  Qin Yu heard this and his head suddenly became five times bigger. He helplessly sighed, "Alright, two taels is just two taels."

  Qin Wan finally understood why Chen Huan wanted to help Lu Zhuang increase his wages. After their parents passed away, the family business was indeed at a loss with just the three of them. If Lu Zhuang were to leave, it would be even more troublesome.

  Chen Huan smiled and nodded, "It's brother who gave Lu Zhuangjia a raise."

  Qin Yu's face turned slightly red, "Got it."

  What a good sister, always giving herself face.

  Chen Huan sighed quietly, Qin Yu went to school, who would she find to be her shield? Her sister was not yet qualified, it seemed that the business outside needed to recruit and buy horses.

  Chen Huan was avoiding Wu Feiyang because she hadn't figured out how to divorce him, but Wu Feiyang came to see her every day. Seeing that she wasn't paying attention to him, he felt very down and couldn't bear it, so he returned to the manor.

  On the seventh day, just after breakfast, Third Uncle Qin Songtuan rushed back to the mansion.

  Qin Songtao rushed straight to the mourning hall as soon as he entered the mansion, and when he saw the memorial tablet, his eyes turned red, and he knelt on the cushion, solemnly kowtowing three times.

  The eyes that had been quietly watching him with a hint of sadness as he burned the paper money, when had he ever shown such respect to his parents? He had never noticed how good he was at acting before.

  "Third Uncle." Qin Wan and Qin Yun's eyes turned red.

  Qin Songtao patted Qin Yu's shoulder, "Good kid, it's okay, Uncle is here, isn't he?"

  Qin Yu nodded, "With three uncles here, Qin Yu is no longer afraid."

  Qin Songtao did not obviously intervene in the matter of driving away the eldest house, but he also did not dissuade them. Therefore, Shen Huan's family actually had no feelings for him either. However, if the three siblings lived in the mansion, it would be different. Qin Songtao is now the most prestigious person in the entire Qin Manor, and it can be understood that Qin Yu and Qin Wan regard him as a powerful reliance.

  Qin Songtao sighed and said, "Your parents' departure may have brought you good fortune. I heard that you got a letter of recommendation from Lord Ning? Are you preparing to go to Licheng Academy to study?"

  Chen Huan immediately noticed Qin Songtao's expression when he asked this question, his eyes were focused, and the sadness of the worship just now was swept away. He couldn't help but sneer, this was his true purpose.

  He is different from his previous life, willing to put aside the prosperous capital and rush back to worship, just because he knew about Ning Daren's affairs. Otherwise, how could he have such an attitude towards his parents' spiritual position?

  Qin Yu's eyes reddened, and he nodded sorrowfully. "The spirits of my parents in heaven will also be comforted. I didn't even think about it, but Ning gentleman still sent me this year's gift - the trial exam papers."

  Chen Huan furrowed his brow, but it was too late to stop him.

  "Oh......" Qin Songtao's tone rose at the end, "You'll show it to Third Uncle later."

  Qin Yu nodded hastily, "Alright, and I'll have to ask Third Uncle for more guidance."

  Lü rushed over and was supported by Su as they entered the door, calling out, "Tao'er, you've finally returned."

  Qin Songtao hastily supported Lu Shi, "Mother, the son is back." His eyes quickly glanced at Su Shi, and he smiled gently. Su Shi didn't dare to show her feelings in front of her parents, her face slightly red, nodded slightly.

  Lü's eyes swept up and down her son, she was so delighted that she didn't know what to say.

  Qin Gongxun finally arrived, and after receiving Qin Songtao's greetings, "Good news, it was delivered five days ago. How come you're so late? Don't you know your big brother has left?" The words sounded like a reprimand, but couldn't hide the joy.

  "The son had originally wanted to return early, but he needed to pay his respects to the various dignitaries of the Hanlin Academy, which delayed him."

  The third son was so open-minded, Qin Gongxun nodded happily, "Of course, the matter is urgent."

  "I heard that this time it was Ning Yihong, the eldest son of the Ning family, who saved Chen Huan. Is that true?" Qin Songtao looked at Chen Huan with concern, who had been keeping his head down and not speaking.

  Is his name Ning Yihong?

  Chen Huan raised her head, opening her bewildered eyes. "I only know he's the young master of the Ning family, I don't know what his name is." Chen Huan's words left Qin Songtao unclear about the situation. Did she really not know the identity of the Ning family?

  Digression

  Looks good or not, just make a sound... no comments written well loneliness ah...... /（ㄒoㄒ）/~

  Can others say they have a lot of savings? Don't worry about it
