C5 Rectification of Xu Jia Village

"Earlier, you guys carefully selected a female teacher for me and taught me a lot of ways to live in the world."

"Whatever you treat me well, I'll remember. There will definitely be a chance to repay you in the future."

Zhao Yunwan's heart was filled with gratitude as she looked at the servants surrounding her.

Thankful that they were still alive, grateful that they had accompanied her through so many trials and tribulations.

Chun Lan and Chun Yun lowered their heads in embarrassment. They didn't dare to take credit for this.

Mama Zhang laughed to the point that her eyes were squinting, but the corners of her eyes were wet.

Only Chun Xiang jumped up and covered her face, "Oh my god, what Young Mistress just said is enough to kill me."

"You are the best at everything, but I am the one who is in the wrong. I learned together with you, how many words have I learned?"

As he finished speaking, even his eyes turned red.

Seeing her monkey look, Zhao Yunwan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

For a moment, the entire inner courtyard of Xu Family Villa was filled with joyous laughter.

It was near dusk, and Mama Huang and Chun Luo, who had gone out to shop, had returned.

Chun Xiang could not wait to share with them the events that happened in the Pingzhai Village during the day.

After Mama Huang heard this, she could not help but praise, "Young Mistress has finally taken out the prestige of her Xu Family."

"It should have been like this a long time ago. Otherwise, how would she look like Young Mistress Xu Family?" Chun Luo said in a slightly dissatisfied tone.

Mama Huang glanced at Chun Luo, and Chun Luo immediately lowered her head, secretly curling her lips.

There were only so many shops in Qingyang County, yet she didn't even buy a suitable hairpin as she wandered around.

Chun Xiang didn't like Chun Luo's arrogant expression the most. She snorted coldly immediately, "Young Mistress is Young Mistress, what kind of appearance does that have? It's not something you can say."

"Don't forget, your indenture contract is still in the hands of the young mistress."

"All day long, you've been like half a master, rubbing powder and flowers, as if an old man from the heavens was willing to help you?"

After Chun Xiang finished speaking, Chun Luo panicked on the spot.

She glared fiercely at Chun Xiang, and snorted coldly. "My indenture contract is in the hands of Young Mistress, don't tell me you have it?"

"You've been moving forward like a pug all day, and I haven't seen how much Young Mistress treats you, have I?"

"You're the pug!" Chun Xiang went back to her room and rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight.

Chun Luo sneered as she chased after him, "It's not like that, you're just a pug!"

"You …" Chun Xiang was about to rush up when Mama Huang slammed the table.

"Enough."

"I think the two of you have had too many good days and want to be sold off to be despicable girls."

"Old Mistress said that after we leave the capital, Young Mistress will be our master."

"The two of you are getting more and more unruly. One of you is whining all day and has no sense of propriety. One of them had smeared it all over his body, so he did not know who it was. "

"I'll punish the two of you with a month's worth of money. I'll go report to Young Mistress later."

After Mama Huang finished reprimanding her, Chun Luo angrily went back to her room.

Chun Xiang pouted, feeling both wronged and upset.

Mama Huang immediately tapped Chun Xiang's forehead and said, "Oh you, what are you always targeting Chun Luo for?"

"She has a strong temper. I'm afraid she will have a straight face for a few days now."

Chun Xiang's eyes reddened slightly as she mumbled, "I can't bear to see her like that. It's fine if she doesn't take Young Mistress as a master, but instead make herself seem like a little miss in case others don't know that she's from the capital."

"Sigh, you guys really don't know how to appreciate your luck while you're still lucky!"

Mama Huang sighed and straightened her clothes before going to see Zhao Yunwan.

Old Mistress gave Zhao Yunwan's two senior servants, Mama Zhang was in charge of the inner courtyard's chores, Mama Huang was in charge of the outer courtyard's purchases, and the four maidservant were all by Zhao Yunwan's side.

On the other hand, the four guards were guarding the front and back doors of Xu Family Villa, which were clearly Ding Yun, Xu Gui, Bao Da, and Shi Fang.

Mama Huang briefly mentioned the matter of punishing Chun Xiang and Chun Luoyue for their money, then cut to the chase, "That garden is too abandoned, there are many areas that need fixing."

"The rockery is not built properly, the lotus pond is also dry, and a few of the walls have collapsed."

"This old servant has thought about it. If I were to come here to play, I'm afraid that it would be no less than two thousand taels of silver."

"However, if you want to build a mansion, I'm afraid that it will need five thousand silver taels."

"This old servant reckons that based on all the businesses in our Qingyang County, we only have five thousand silver taels."

Zhao Yunwan understood what Mama Huang meant. She was going to use all her belongings to repair the garden. When the time came, she would not be able to make ends meet.

Furthermore, the Xu School's annual expenditure was at least two to three hundred taels of silver.

"I'm not in a hurry to fix the garden, I still need to think about how to fix it."

"In any case, it's not the fastest thing that can happen in a day or two. It's already considered the fastest thing that can be done in two years."

"A craftsman, a carpenter, and a bricklayer. You still have to find what you need to find. It's not difficult to find what you need to find."

"As for the money, you don't have to worry about it. I've already memorized it in my heart, so I'm prepared to add some extra money into the business."

Seeing Zhao Yunwan's happy expression and deep eyes, Mama Huang knew that she had other plans in mind.

Perhaps it was because he was one year older, but his way of doing things was a bit sharper.

Just spending a thousand taels of silver to buy this abandoned garden was enough to shock her.

She had been in the capital for so many years, and she knew that many of the gardens were priceless treasures.

After the repairs were done, people would come buy it for ten times the price.

It wasn't that she didn't have confidence, but she wasn't confident in her heart. After all, her master wasn't someone who was experienced and knowledgeable.

"… …"

Zhao Yunwan had intimidated the villagers of Pingzhai Village for a short while, and soon, rumors started to spread.

For example, if the Xu school was not open, it was just a sentence from Zhao Yunwan.

For example, Zhao Yunwan bought a large garden that took up ten acres in Qingyang County.

For example, Zhao Yunwan's family was still preparing to buy a large house for her parents in the city.

Ma Chengzhi, who was running errands for the customers in the county, heard the two customers' discussion.

Guest A: "Isn't she just a mausoleum guard who was paid for by the Xu Family?"

"The heavens are high and the earth is far away. Could it be that people from the Xu Family really take her seriously?"

"I say, why don't you buy some small things to play with? When we get the money, won't it be easy to leave her behind?"

"For a little widow like her who doesn't make sense, do you really dare to run around and say that you're cheating on her?"

"Hahaha, that's true!"

"When the time comes, I will swallow all my teeth. Since I've lost my body and I don't dare to reveal myself, and I don't have money with me, wouldn't I be letting myself be abused?"

Customer A: "Yes, yes, that's what it means."

Guest B: "If that's the case, then we have to plan things out carefully first."

Having said so, the two of them immediately began to whisper darkly.

That afternoon, Ma Chengzhi gave his boss a leave of absence and hurried back to Pingzhai Village.

Without even washing his face, he hurriedly went to the Xu Family Villa.

Ding Yun and Xu Gui, who were guarding the front door, stopped him and went to inform Zhao Yunwan.

When Zhao Yunwan first heard about Ma Chengzhi, she was stunned for a moment. She didn't even remember that she knew this person.
