Chapter 170 Settle
Chapter 170 Settle
Lei Tia instructed the Uncle Fu to give the servant a handsome reward, and had him send the person out.
Chen Fu retreated to the door, waiting for orders.
As a modern transcender, Qin Mian was very interested in the imperial edict and the Imperial Orders's instruments. Seeing that there were no outsiders inside the house, he opened up the Imperial Orders's documents and saw that the documents were neatly written with his own words, "Lei Qin" and "Madam Imperial Orders of the first stage". On the date of the new year, there was a red stamp at the bottom.
He then looked at the Imperial Orders's attire, which was neatly stacked in a wooden tray. At the top was a crown, or to be more accurate, a hairpin. The jade was inlaid with gold, and in the middle was a blue gem. Because of its simple design, it did not seem tacky at all. He shook off the Imperial Orders's robes and heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that the Emperor Xiao Hui was not bad and at least did not intentionally give him a set of female attire. The indigo, almost black, gown was made of fine brocade, the satin gleaming, with a misty cloud and a picture of the Luan embroidered on the chest. The robe was lined with gold, giving it a solemn and solemn air; it also had a matching wide belt.
Compared to Qin Mian's normal clothes, this Imperial Orders Robe was like a suit, it was the difference between casual clothes and a suit.
Even Lei Tia could not help but praise, "Not bad. Wife, try it? "
Qin Mian shot him a glance and immediately put on the Imperial Orders attire. Previously, when he wore clothes, it was mostly on the principle of comfort. It gave people a feeling of gentleness, but now, it was more like a piece of precious stone, shining brilliantly with elegance and elegance.
Lei Tia only felt a light in front of him, and his eyes burned with passion. Taking two steps forward, he personally helped him to buckle up.
When she was hugged by his arms, Qin Mian's face was pressed against her warm lips for a few breaths' time before retreating. He raised his eyes and his gaze met Lei Tia's gaze, and did not move away for a long time.
Lei Tia untied his long hair and tied it up with his new hairband.
Qin Mian coughed lightly, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere, "How is it?"
"Very pretty." Lei Tia said seriously.
Qin Mian rubbed his face, turned around and faced him, quickly taking off his Imperial Orders attire. This was because he had a premonition that if he still did not take them off, Lei Tia would help him take them off.
Lei Tia looked at his back regretfully, and told himself that he was not in a hurry, as the fire in his body gradually cooled down.
Qin Mian returned to his side and sat down, "Tia, get down to business. It would take at least five or six days to see the finesse and meticulousness of the hairband and the garment. From this, it could be seen that this set of clothing was made in advance. But why didn't the Emperor deliberately wait until now for the first and second edicts to be issued? It feels to me as if he made up his mind after he made a special observation about me. "
Speaking to here, he looked sideways at Lei Tia, his tone carrying a hint of jealousy, "On what basis is he? "It seems that if I don't pass the test, I don't deserve to make peace with him."
Lei Tia suddenly kissed his lips, stopping him from speaking further. He fiercely sucked in a mouthful of air before releasing him and looking deeply into his eyes, "Whether you are worthy or not, I have the final say."
"Did he treat you well?" "Hmm?" Qin Mian squinted his eyes and interrogated.
Lei Tia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Don't speak nonsense."
Qin Mian couldn't help but laugh as he rubbed the corner of his lips. To be able to make Lei Tia reveal an expression that made him at a loss whether to laugh or cry, he also had a sense of accomplishment.
Lei Tia patted his shoulder, indicating him to be more serious.
"My wife, why did the emperor suddenly start using me again? It's still unclear. But at the moment, a first stage Imperial Orders is beneficial to you. Grand Xia Country s are strict and with a first rank Imperial Orders, ordinary people would not dare to offend you. "
"Got it." Qin Mian said. He felt a little uncomfortable when a man was officially conferred the title of 'Madam' by the Emperor, but he didn't really mind it. Ever since he started cultivating, he had gradually become somewhat detached from the world. Many matters in the secular world had already been taken lightly by him. Ordinary things were completely unable to shake him. As long as Lei Tia, Yuan Yuan and Man were by his side, he was invincible.
He asked in a low voice, "Will it be because of the war at the border? Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Emperor to suddenly use a military general who has been an official for many years. "
"I have the same suspicions. We'll find out when we get a chance." Lei Tia comforted her, "Leave this matter to me, you don't have to worry about it."
Qin Mian nodded. He had nothing to do in the capital, even if he wanted to worry about it, he had nowhere to go. It would be best if he and Lei Tia divided the work between them.
Lei Tia went to arrange for Lei Qinle and the nine generals. Lei Qinle had a sharp tongue, was experienced in handling matters, and would be Qin Mian's follower in the future. Lei Qinzhong and Lei Qin Hui, one was steady, one was quick-witted, and the other was Lei Tia's follower, they would still be family generals.
Qin Mian called Uncle Fu in. Aside from Duke Mu, he found out that the servants in the National Duke's Mansion had all been sent over by powerful nobles who had intentionally befriended Lei Tia, and had even sent over an indenture contract.
Qin Mian personally came forward and gave Chen Fu five taels of silver as reward, and gave two hundred each to the other people Duke Mu sent to help out. Then, he had the Uncle Fu send them away. Then, he told Lei Qinle to call the man who came, and sell off all the remaining servants, because he couldn't tell if there were any other people who had planted themselves as spies or not. As for the nobles who sent servants, they all sent a letter of thanks and a gift in return.
After Uncle Fu, he would be the butler for National Duke's Mansion. Aunt Fu would be in charge of the kitchen, and Lei Qinle's family would be in charge of the needlework. Qin Mian decided to ask Tusk to come and buy them as soon as the plan was ready.
That day, Uncle Fu and the Aunt Fu led all the servants to arrange the luggage. Qin Mian cooked for the family of four, the Aunt Fu and Lei Qinle cooked for the others. After di
er, everyone went to bed early. The first day passed just like that.
The next day, Qin Mian asked Lei Qinshun to find out which schools and academies in the capital were the best, and also asked Lei Qinle to call Tusk Tusk over to fill up with the family members. For example, the gatekeeper, the kitchen maid, as well as the attendant who was in charge of driving, dusting, and taking care of the horses. The six people in the kitchen and sewing room were all women. Two of the women and four of the girls were between fourteen and eighteen years old. In other words, there were only eight women in the entire National Duke's Mansion.
Qin Mian wrote down the rules of the National Duke's Mansion for everyone to hear and requested them to memorize it well ??
In addition, Qin Mian pla
ed to assign two bookkeepers to each of the two children. If nothing unexpected happened, the four bookkeepers would grow up together with Yuan Yuan. Therefore, Qin Mian spent quite a bit of effort in choosing people, and personally went through several large tooth shops before finally choosing four boys who were between the ages of eight and ten.
He asked Yuan Yuan and her to name the four bookkeepers. The two bookkeepers who were round in shape were called Platoon Leader and Array Master respectively, making Qin Mian hold his forehead speechlessly. The names of the two bookkeepers were not normal. They were Flying Moon and Meteor. The adults might not be able to understand the thoughts of children, but Qin Mian still respected the intentions of the two little fellows and gave them their names. Lei Tia had set up a formation in the Sea of Consciousness of the four bookkeepers. If they leaked any of Yuan Yuan and Full Moon secret, the formation would activate.
Yuan Yuan and Full now live together with Qin Mian and Lei Tia in the main courtyard of the backyard. The two of them have their own rooms, and the errand boy has his own room with his ears. The tasks of the four bookkeepers were not only to accompany Yuan Yuan and the others to study, but also to get up early every day to practice martial arts with Yuan Yuan. They didn't need them to protect Yuan Yuan and the whole thing, at least their bodies had to be tougher, so that they wouldn't be tired from just ru
ing errands.
The next day passed.
Early morning of the third day. After eating breakfast, Qin Mian and Lei Tia tidied up Yuan Yuan and his entire family of four, and went to pay a visit to the Eastern Sun Academy's Principal, Cao Zhongshan. The four bookkeepers also wanted to enrol and go together.
The most famous academies in the capital were the Shilling Academy and the East Sun Academy. The academy was famous for its rigorous teaching and was full of scholars. Today, the prime minister and four of the six ministers all come from the academy. The East Sun Academy was not bad either. The academic atmosphere was relatively relaxed. During the first year of vacation, the last three days of every two months would be a big holiday. The main purpose of Qin Mian and Lei Tia sending Yuan Yuan and the others to study was to let them learn more about the academy, not to make them want to test the top scholar or become a high-ranking official. Therefore, the two of them liked the East Sun Academy more. The most important point was that the East Sun Academy was not far from Chong En Street. They could arrive in a carriage in about half an hour. It was very convenient for Yuan Yuan and the whole school.
The horse carriage stopped in front of Cao Zhongshan's house, and Yuan Yuan and Man jumped off the carriage right in front of it. The two little fellows seemed to have reached the first rebellious phase of their lives. They felt that they had grown up and were no longer willing to let their father hold their hands or hug them.
Qin Mian naturally let them take care of this, as he leisurely followed behind with the gift in his hand.
The four bookkeepers followed Yuan Yuan to fill up the bag.
A attendant led them in.
Cao Zhongshan was a grey haired old man who was in his early fifties, with a serious face. After Qin Mian and the others greeted him, they stared at Yuan Yuan and the others expressionlessly.
Yuan Yuan and Man weren't afraid of him. They just sat there in a serious ma
er, as if they were competing with each other. Their eyes were looking back at him unblinkingly.
As long as the two children were not disrespectful, Qin Mian and Lei Tia would normally not interfere.
The hall was silent for a moment.
After a long while, Cao Zhongshan laughed like an old child, gently patting their shoulders, and asked them a few questions kindly, such as how much they had read, if they could read, and so on.
Yuan Yuan and her speech was clear and without any shyness.
Cao Zhongshan nodded repeatedly, and finally told Qin Mian and Lei Tia that the two children would be divided into the Elementary Class A class. The four bookkeepers were all assigned to Class C without any foundation, and they started school the next day.
After Qin Mian paid the fee of a year, he received the gift from Lei Tia, "Principal Cao, thank you very much. This is our little ?? "
Cao Zhongshan frowned, stroked his beard, and said coldly: "Before National Duke and Madam came, didn't you ask around? This old man will not accept any gifts. "
Qin Mian laughed unconcernedly: "Dean Cao, don't worry, these are not valuable things. They are our own brewed fruit wine, our own made snacks and two bottles of rotten milk."
At such a young age, Yuan Yuan already had the demeanor of an elder son and elder brother, so he cupped his fists and said: "Grandpa Principal, why not accept him? The student and brother also helped make the snacks. "
He nodded his head repeatedly, "There's sweetness and saltiness in the air, I think Grandpa Headmaster would like it."
"Oh?" Only then did Cao Zhongshan's face relax, he smiled and said, "Alright, I will accept it."
After exiting Cao Zhongshan's house and getting on the carriage, Qin Mian picked up the cup on the table and put it down. After a while, he picked up the cup again. When the children went to school at Qingshan Village, it could be said that the Qingshan Village was their domain, and everything was within their control, so he did not have to worry about it at all. However, the capital was different, and when he thought about how long the two children were not with him and Lei Tia, he felt uneasy. Not only was he worried about this, he was also worried about ??
"Leave it to me." Lei Tia completely understood his concerns, and tightly grasped his hand.
"Dad, what's wrong with dad?" asked with concern.
Lei Tia said in a steady voice, "Your father is worried about you two."
"What are you worried about?" Yuan Yuan didn't understand, "Dad, don't worry, my brother and I are just going to the academy like before."
Lei Tia indicated for Qin Mian to not speak, and looked at his two sons, "Qin Ruiqi, Lei Ruilin, do you know that in the entire East Sun Academy, or even the entire capital, you are the only two fathers without a mother? In the eyes of others, this was not normal. Maybe the other students will mock you because of this, would you be afraid? "
Note: An ancient moment is about fifteen minutes.
