Chapter 62
At the beginning of spring, the house of the Xue family had been repaired, and the steward of the family surnamed Xue asked Zhou Lang to go and see it.
Zhou Lang originally wanted to invite Sanchun and Lin Daiyu to be together, but Lin Ruhai sent back news that he was in poor health and asked Lin Daiyu to go home for a few days to explain his funeral.
Jia Lian cleaned up and left with Lin Daiyu.When Rongguo Mansion got the news, there was a moment of silence, except for Jia Baoyu and Jia She, the others were too embarrassed to have fun.
Calling several family members to follow, Zhou Lang arrived at the new house in a carriage.
Steward Xiao Xue led her in, introducing her while walking, boasting of her achievements from time to time, saying how caring she was and how exquisite the house was.
Zhou Lang smiled and nodded, and complimented a few words along the way.
This little manager Xue is a shrewd person, knowing that Zhou Lang is strict in management, so he has never been greedy on the books.However, he was not at all merciless in accepting the money that the people below offered to pay for their errands.
Xue Baochai was already shrewd, Zhou Lang had seen the Dream of Red Mansions, and he only knew how the people below did things.As for things like Xiao Xue's filial piety, as long as it is not too much, she will turn a blind eye.
After all, when the water is so clear that there are no fish, it is customary for the stewards of rich families to hug money.
Zhou Lang thought that if she was too strict with this incident, not to mention this little steward, even other servants would have more thoughts in their hearts after seeing it.In the future, everyone will know that there is no lucrative job for her, and they plan to pass it on to others, so there is no one who will do things with all their heart.
Taking care of people is a long-term thing, don't worry about it overnight.
The house was really exquisite, and it was completely built according to the plans of the blueprints.Zhou Lang watched with joy in his heart, very happy.
"In a few days, I'll pack up some things and come out, and you lead people to move them over to decorate them." Zhou Lang asked Xiaoxue to be in charge, and praised him: "This matter is well done, and you can go to the accountant to receive a first-class reward later. "
The top prize is 20 taels. Although Manager Xiao Xue didn't like the amount of silver, but he won this reward, but he looks very good-looking. Everyone will look at him highly, so he accepted it happily.
