Chapter 229 - 229: Urgent Matters

Xie Xian stroked her slightly messy hair.” Your little maid was worried that we were going to announce the silver during the day, so she stopped us. It was likely that his grandmother had sent someone to pass on the message.”

He probably didn’t have to go to Yi ‘an Hall to eat.

According to the rules, he had to have a reunion dinner with his grandmother on the first day of their marriage. However, his grandmother had doted on him all these years and didn’t want him to tire himself out. Many of the rules were not the rules when it came to him.

Xiao Baoxin tidied his hair and glared at Xie Xian coquettishly. What a beast in human skin.

He called Tangli in and asked. Sure enough, it was a maid from Yi ‘an Hall who came to pass the message. The Grand Mistress was tired and would not be invited to eat with him today.

Tangli’s sharp eyes swept across the bed. Even though she had tidied it up too neatly, it could not hide the fact that she had almost accidentally gotten into trouble. She was trying to cover it up. Otherwise, who would sit on the bed and get flatter? Did she think that it was a hot water bottle that was used to flatten the bed sheets?

Xie Xian had already picked up the account book that Xiao Baoxin had accidentally dropped. He casually flipped through two pages and put it aside.

“I wonder what kind of taste All Xiao likes for dinner. Why don’t you tell the people in the small kitchen to remember it…Have the servants seen it?” He suddenly remembered.

Xiao Baoxin ignored him and instructed Tang Li to pass down the order for the servants of Rong An Hall to come and see her in the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. If he hadn’t caused trouble for her, she would have sent someone to meet him long ago.

Hibiscus responded and left, leaving Tangli in the room to serve tea and water.

“.. How are you going to deal with the wedding ceremony?”Xie Xian suddenly asked.

Since he had asked her, it was not good to not talk to him anymore.

Moreover, Xiao Baoxin really wasn’t that angry. He was just embarrassed and angry, but he was actually mercilessly led into the ditch by him.

“This is exactly what I wanted to ask you. I don’t know your usual way of doing things, so it’s not good for me to make a decision on my own.”

“Put it in the treasury of Rong ‘an Hall,” said Xie Xian. There weren’t many established rules here. Whoever was in charge had the final say. It wasn’t a loss to the public.”After a pause, he continued,” It’s not too late for you to take over the public school after you figure out Rong An Hall.” The assets that the Xie family had accumulated over a hundred years were nothing much.”

These were just so-so. Xiao Baoxin nodded. As expected, the aristocratic families were like bottomless pits. No one could see the bottom.

Therefore, there was a reason why every emperor would try their best to suppress the aristocratic families.

Without the aristocratic families interfering, wouldn’t all these rich family businesses belong to the royal family?

It was a blatant fight for benefits.

“If I’m not in Rong An Hall, feel free to instruct Qing Feng and Ming Yue. In the past, they were in charge.”Xie Xian was leaning on the couch, half leaning and half lying, his back leaning against the bed.

Xiao Baoxin nodded and said hesitantly,

“How can you feel comfortable if you’re tilted like this? Go inside and lie down to rest for a while. Since dinner is to be eaten in Rong An Hall, I’ll order the servants to prepare it directly.””You haven’t told me what you like to eat.””

“I’m not picky with my food.” Xie Xian stood up lazily. Just do it according to your preferences.”

Xiao Baoxin didn’t ask further. When he went out and asked Ming Yue, he found out that Xie Xian’s ‘not picky’ was not eating spicy food, not eating fishy food, not eating big meat. One meat must be matched with four vegetables, and within seven days, there wouldn’t be a repeat.

Good…As he pleased.

However, after eating Rong Antang’s food, she realized how rough her family’s food was. If it was such a meal, she wouldn’t be picky.

Eat not too fine, cut not too fine, eat and use not too fine, not too fine. Only when she entered the Xie family did she truly experience the difference between a scholar and a commoner.

Her Xiao family could be considered a new rich family with endless wealth and splendor. However, compared to the Xie family, she was like a nouveau riche.

The more they understood, the more they understood why the Xie family, including the other aristocratic families, were so against the marriage between the Xie and Xiao families. It was as if they had stabbed everyone’s heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. It was because it had shaken the foundation structure of their monopoly for generations.

One could imagine how much pressure Xie Xian had to endure to marry her.

###

The people of Rong An Hall had always been managed by Qing Feng and Ming Yue. They were related to the Xie residence but also seemed to be an independent individual. They had always followed Xie Xian’s orders. Now that he had married his wife, no one would object to Xiao Baoxin’s power.

Xiao Baoxin met with the servants of Rong An Hall in the east wing. They were in groups of ten, and they met for less than an hour.

It was just a few simple words, and no one was stupid enough to make the new madam unhappy on the spot. Everyone was obedient.

After taking charge of Rong An Tang, she knew that Xie Xian was right. Originally, there were only manservants and elderly maids in Rong An Tang. Those little maids were sent by Lady Yuan a few days before their wedding.

After greeting the servants, Xiao Baoxin rewarded each of them with two months of salary.

She knew that the servants in the big families were all arrogant and would not be convinced for a while. However, she did not care. As long as she did not hold her back, everything was fine. This was the effect of time, not something that could be changed in a day.

“Madam, please have some tea.”

Xiao Baoxin heaved a sigh of relief when Cai Wei brought the teacup to him. When they arrived at the Xie family’s residence, the maids ‘skin tensed up and they were very attentive.

“The four of you have a long way to go in the future. There’s no need to be in a hurry to perform.”

Xiao Baoxin called Tangli and the others over.””ln the future, Tangli, Mujin, you should learn more from Granny Zhao about accounting and managing the warehouse. Cai Wei and You Mei, you two learn how to manage people from Granny Fang. Look at how she deals with people and ask if you don’t understand. The two nannies were here to teach them, so there was no need to be embarrassed to speak.”

When the four maids heard this, they immediately put them in an important position. As expected, when the madam took charge of the family, they also followed suit.

In the future, if they took charge of the middle-aged, wouldn’t their growth be even higher?

The four hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.

“Old Furen has already sent over the slave deeds of these maids. They are all people we can use in the future. You should observe them more. Those with good character and ability should be promoted.”

” Don’t be impatient. We have a long life ahead of us.””

After arranging everything properly, Xiao Baoxin returned to the main house. Xie Xian was not resting inside. After asking, he found out that he had been called out.

“Master Lang instructed the servant servant to ask Madam to eat by herself. The incident happened so suddenly that I don’t know when she will be busy. Please don’t wait.” If it’s too late, Furen can rest on her own.”

The little maid was thirteen or fourteen years old. She was beautiful and had a double bun. She was very clever and cute.

Xiao Baoxin nodded. It must be urgent to be called out on the first day of marriage. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She didn’t ask much and just ate dinner on her own, but she didn’t expect that she would really follow his instructions. It wasn’t until it was dark and the drum beat for two more times that she saw him return slowly. His body was wrapped in a cold wind, and his expression was very ugly..
