Chapter 13 The Outer Court begins to build a team

By the way, after hearing what Jia Mu said, Jia Zheng went down to take over the matters related to Lin Daiyu's entry into Beijing.

On the Ningguo Mansion, Jia Qing didn’t know that Lin Meimei was going to Beijing.

The next morning, Jia Jing called Jia Qing to Ning'an Hall.

When Jia Qing arrived at Ning'an Hall, Jia Jing was talking to Lai Sheng who was standing in the hall. Two half-girls dressed in green servants were kneeling down in the hall.

Seeing Jia Qing coming in, Lai Sheng hurriedly saluted, and the two servants below knelt down and bowed.

"The child has met his father."

Jia Jing responded and said, "I'm asking you to come today, I'm going to give you the two servants you want. See how they two?"

Jia Qing looked at the kneeling two people. Seeing this, Lai Sheng immediately shouted to the two people on the ground:

"Raise your head."

The two raised their heads as they said.

The one on the left has dark skin and strong body. Her body is visually overly tall.

The one on the right looks a little thinner, but his eyes are rolling around, and he looks clever.

Jia Qing asked, "What are your names? How old are you?"

A calm person on the left replied: "Report to the second master, my servant is Li Yan, he is fifteen years old this year."

The thinner person on the right replied: "Report to the second master, my servant is Wang Shun, and he is fourteen years old this year."

One is fourteen and the other is fifteen, and it’s okay to look good, and it won’t scare people on the street. It can be seen that Jia Jing was trying his best. So he said to Jia Jing: “Back to my father, I’m very satisfied with these two people. Thank you for your father.”

In fact, these two people were found by Lai Sheng, and Jia Jing just gave orders.

However, Jia Jing obviously did not intend to bring Laisheng's credit. After nodding, he ordered: "I have given you my help, so you can take them down to get to know each other and let him greet you in the future."

"yes"

Taking Li Yan and the other two out of the main gate of Ning'an Hall, Jia Qing looked at them and asked, "Where are you living now?"

"When I go back to the second master, I live in the back street of Ningguo Mansion, where most of the servants live in the family, and so do Wang Shun. However, we are now working in the mansion and have a class room in the front yard. Now we all live in the class room." Li Yan replied.

After hearing this, Jia Qing said, "Let's go, then we'll go to the place where you live and talk."

After hearing this, Li Yan hurriedly stopped him and said, "Second Master, this is not something you can do. There are all places where we servants can stay. How can you stay, Second Master?"

Jia Qingheng glanced at him and said, "Why can't you stay with me? Forget it, you will know my temper in the future. Now I tell you, the person I want is not to see how much he respects me, but how he does things.

If you are a fool, it would be useless to call me grandpa. On the contrary, as long as you do things seriously, you just call my name directly, and I will also use it. In front of me, it is best for you not to be a slave, and I don’t like to listen to it either.”

Li Yan was speechless when he was speechless, but Wang Shun was smart. He immediately came up to rescue him and said, "Since the second master is going to the place where the slave villain lives, the villain will lead the way for the second master." As he said that, he was already walking in front of him to lead the way.

He thought clearly that the master gave the two of them to the second master. From now on, everything would be fine. If something went wrong, the second master would be responsible for it.

After leaving the front door of Ning'an Hall, heading to the right, there was a neat room on the Rongguo Mansion, about five or six rows, all for the men on duty in the mansion to live in. Jia Qing looked at it and found that there were about ten rooms in each row, and both sides could be occupied.

Wang Shun took him to a small house and stopped.

"Second Master, this is the house I live in."

Jia Qing looked at it and found that the room was obviously a small quotation. It seemed that Wang Shun's family was in power in the mansion.

As if seeing Jia Qing’s thoughts, Wang Shun explained: “Most of the servants in the mansion do not live in the mansion, and they have residences outside. People like us who have to work in the mansion very early every day will be assigned to rest in such a house to avoid misleading things. I am a small house, so I live only by myself, and there are several others who live in it.”

Jia Qing suddenly realized when he heard this and nodded.

He used to not understand why some of the servants in the mansion lived in the mansion and some did not live in the mansion. Now he finally knew the trick here.

Then Wang Shun took out the key he carried with him, opened the door, and led Jia Qing into the house, and Li Yan followed behind him.

After Jia Qing entered the house, he saw that the house was clear and quite wide, so he had to sigh that the Jia family was so bold that even the house for the servants lived in was so good.

Wanshun obviously doesn't pay much attention to it normally. The room and the bed are very messy, and there is only one chair in the room.

Wang Shun felt a little embarrassed and moved the chair to the middle for Jia Qing to sit on. He cleaned up all over the place and stood next to Li Yan.

Jia Qing sat down and looked at Li Yan and the other two. Both of them were twice as big as Jia Qing, but at this time, Jia Qing looked at her with discomfort. She could vaguely feel a little pressure on Jia Qing, and her expression became slightly nervous.

Jia Qing was very satisfied with his own wave of pretending. From now on, these two men will be their own subordinates. How can they do it if they don’t accept it? But they don’t expect to succeed in one go. There are many opportunities in the future. He doesn’t believe that he can transcend the times. In the feudal context of ancient times, he could not conquer two servants. So, seeing that the effect was achieved, Jia Qing was about to bring his feelings closer and asked: “Who are there in your family?”

Finally hearing the second master's words, Li Yan felt relieved and replied: "Back to the second master, the little man's parents are here, the grandmother is still alive, and the other little man has a sister. But Shunzi's family is not very good. It was his grandfather who brought him up. Now his grandfather is working in the mansion."

Nodding, he said that he knew, and asked again: "Then where did you two do things before?"

Li Yan said: "We were both responsible for cleaning the yard in the front yard. Yesterday, General Manager Lai said he would choose two people to be servants for the second master of the mansion, and finally he picked two of us."

"Then do you want to be my servant?"

"Of course I'm willing. Which servants as big as us in the two mansions don't want to follow the master? You know, the servants who follow the master have at least 800 yuan in monthly money, which is not considered the rewards of the master on weekdays." Wang Shun answered first this time.

"Then how much money did you spend on sweeping the floor before?"

"three hundred"

Only three hundred? He didn't need to ask, and he knew that there was definitely no "oil" on the sweeping day, but these three hundred were too low. He remembered that a third-class maid in Jia Baoyu's room had a monthly salary of five hundred. It seems that maids are more popular these days. In this way, the economic price to pay for bribing them will not be too high.

After thinking about it, Jia Qing opened the market: "Then you will follow me in the future and you will definitely not treat you badly.

You guys think this is great. In addition to the monthly money in the mansion, I will give you another five cents of silver every month. And as long as the things I ordered in the future are done, how about I personally give you a big red envelope during the Chinese New Year?"

Although they didn't know what it meant to have a big red envelope, it was just that being able to get more than one or two silver dollars a month was a beautiful thing they didn't dare to think about before, so the two of them had their eyes turned red in an instant, and they knelt down together and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xie, treat me well. In the future, we will do our best to do every job for Mr. Er!"

He waved his hand and signaled them to get up. They felt that it was too much, but Jia Qing felt that it was less. But now he was not rich, and he only had two taels of pocket money per month. In addition, he received red envelopes from Jia Jing, Jia Zhen and others during festivals. He was considered to have little savings. But he also had great plans and could only temporarily manage the family thrift.

He plans to seize the opportunity and make some money to supplement the treasury.

The benefits have been made, and now it is time to set rules to prevent them from being alert to the bad things. So Jia Qing immediately became serious and said, "Since you all decided to follow me, I have to tell you my rules."

Seeing that both of them were listening carefully, they nodded with satisfaction and continued:

"My rule is that in the future, no matter what I tell you to do, I will not be allowed to tell others about anything, including family members and family members."

"What if the master asks?" Wang Shun asked.

"Then you just say that I think it's fun, but you're called it. Mr. Zhen asked this. Anyway, we can't expose our true purpose. I'm saying it before. If you make a fool of yourself, just go back to your previous place and don't come to me."

In order to get them to pay attention, Jia Qing had to say it seriously. His wings are not strong enough now. If he is caught, it will affect his status in the Jia family. If he cannot master enough power before the collapse of the Jia family, he will not be able to reverse the ending of the peerless woman in Dream of Red Mansions. This is his greatest goal.
