The Overlord of the Red Mansion

Chapter 11 Qin Keqing

After tidying up, Jia Rong came to Qin Keqing's room.

This house has three rooms, inside and outside. The main hall is at the entrance, and behind it is a small room for maids to rest overnight, and behind that is the boudoir where the hostess sleeps.

There was a large wooden barrel in the main room, and several maids carried the barrel out together.

Jia Rong stepped forward to lend a hand, and the two maids nearby immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

Ruizhu saw this and said hurriedly, "Master, please go in and have a rest. Leave this to the maids."

Jia Rong smiled and said, "It's okay, it will only take a moment. I will build a bathhouse for you girls to take a bath so you can take a comfortable bath."

Ruizhu said happily: "I thank the master on behalf of everyone!"

Jia Rong quickly carried the wooden barrel outside and moved it into a nearby hut.

"Okay, you guys go down and have some rest. It's cold out here, so it's okay to have a few drinks, just don't get drunk."

"Okay! Thank you, sir!"

The rest of the people quickly and happily went downstairs to rest, and Jia Rong went into the house with Baozhu and Ruizhu.

After entering the room, the two maids tactfully closed the door. At this time, Baoqin walked out of the room.

"Master, I have taught you everything. Now I will go back to serve grandma."

Jia Rong smiled and said, "Your grandmother has already gone to bed. You should stay and serve the master tonight."

Baoqin was no longer shy and nodded with a smile, "Okay!"

Baozhu and Ruizhu were both envious. Both of them were from the mansion and knew how good it was.

If I can have a relationship with the master, I will definitely become an aunt in the future, which will bring me a lot of income every month and a noble status. If I can give birth to a son or a daughter, I will be even more blessed.

Jia Rong is not in a hurry to go in. It is Qin Keqing who should be in a hurry.

"I thought you might not have eaten yet, so I asked the kitchen to prepare some hot dishes and hot wine, which will be delivered shortly."

After hearing Jia Rong's words, Ruizhu thought that she couldn't delay the master's good deeds, so she said, "Then let's go out for dinner now so as not to disturb the master and grandma's good deeds."

Jia Rong said, "It's cold outside, but it's warm inside. Let's eat inside. It's almost New Year's Day. Do you two have any family members in the capital?"

Baozhu and Ruizhu quickly said, "In reply to the master, we were all sold into the mansion when we were young and have no relatives."

In fact, many maids have parents, and some are descendants of slaves in the mansion.

People whose whole family works for the family are more likely to be valued.

"Then just treat Ningguo Mansion as your home from now on. Do your usual work. As long as you behave honestly and consider me, I will treat you as my sisters."

Ruizhu said excitedly: "Thank you, Master!"

Jia Rong said, "Those who have made contributions will be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes will be punished. Even if those who are honest and dutiful have not made any contributions, they have worked hard. Since I took over the Ningguo Mansion, no maid has given up."

"Even if we leave, we will leave in style and be properly settled."

"Although Miss Qin is a concubine, she is also my woman, the second wife besides your eldest wife. You must not neglect her in the future, otherwise you will break the rules."

"Yes! I remember it!" Ruizhu and Baozhu knew the location of their second wife.

At this time, someone knocked on the door and asked for food to be delivered. Baoqin quickly opened the door and brought in the food box, then closed the door and asked him to go back.

Jia Rong walked out, opened the door and said to the cook who was about to leave, "Go back and make a note of this with the kitchen manager tomorrow. From now on, those who cook and deliver meals at night will be rewarded if they are found to be correct and calculated at the end of the month."

The old nanny who delivered the meal hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, sir!"

After Jia Rong closed the door, the servants in the mansion did not do what they were told to do and often slacked off on their work.

If they are not slaves, they have to work 24 hours a day. If they are not paid enough, these people will find ways to make money on their own.

Even if you give enough money, it won't work. If you don't discipline them strictly, they will be corrupt and turn the master's property into their own. Jia Rong strictly investigates corruption and bribery, which harms the public and enriches himself, but he also clearly rewards and punishes, and gives enough money.

Many disobedient people were beaten, but there were more obedient people, and many people also restrained themselves.

After all, corruption is a matter for a minority of people. If everyone were corrupt, this family would be doomed.

Most people who engage in corruption have no power. On the contrary, those who know how to work and are willing to put in effort make the ones who are qualified to engage in corruption particularly slippery.

Jia Rong spent six years promoting the young and strong people in the mansion, punished some elderly people but promoted their children, just like managing a company, and slowly took back the atmosphere and power.

Nowadays, Jia Rong has the final say in Ningguo Mansion, and everyone is united. The people in the mansion are much more energetic than those in Rongguo Mansion. Many of the maids and servants in Rongguo Mansion are thinking about changing jobs.

Baoqin had already brought out the food and placed it near the bed in the middle room.

Jia Rong walked over and sat on one side, Baozhu and Ruizhu stood on the other side, and Baoqin also stood up.

"Come up and sit down to eat. I've eaten. Has your grandma eaten?"

Baozhu said, "I ate it. I took a bath after dinner."

Jia Rong stood up and said, "Okay, when you are full, just put the food boxes aside, spread out the quilt and go to bed to rest. Baoqin should also eat something. I will call you if I need you to serve me."

"Yes! Master!"

When Jia Rong walked into the bedroom, Qin Keqing had been lying in bed for a long time, waiting impatiently.

It was cold outside, but the bedroom was very warm because of the warm room.

Only a few houses have this treatment, and they are where the owners live.

Of course there are some at Jia Yuanchun's place, and there are also some at Qin Keqing's place as her aunt. Also, there are some at Youshi's place because it was Jia Zhen's former residence.

There was another room that belonged to Jia Jing. Jia Rong did not keep it for Jia Jing, who had become a monk, but cleaned it up and gave it to Jia Xichun.

Although he had done a lot of immoral things, to the people in Ningguo Mansion and Qin Keqing herself, the man walking towards her with a smile was indeed a good master.

Qin Keqing blushed and sat up to look at her husband.

At this time, Qin Keqing had taken off her upper clothes, leaving only a pink bellyband.

Her face is as red as a blooming peach, her eyes are full of charm, and she is extremely beautiful.

"master……"

Jia Rong walked over and sat down, quickly took off his clothes, and quickly got into bed with the delicate beauty.

"It's been cold these days, and I'm afraid you'll catch a cold and get sick, so let's take it slow."

Qin Keqing's face flushed, and she whispered, "I will listen to you, Master."

Jia Rong looked at her rosy little mouth, and the beast in his heart had awakened! !
Soon, it was freezing cold outside, but the house was hot and warm like spring.

***
The next morning, Jia Rong went out for morning exercise, and Qin Keqing got up and dressed with the help of seven or eight maids.

Some combed hair, some brought water, some tended the fire, some made the beds, and some decorated the room.

Baozhu and Ruizhu's maids are of a relatively high rank.

Ruizhu had just finished talking about what she was going to do today and when she was going to meet Madam Jia Yuanchun.

Baozhu took out a booklet.

"Second Madam, Master knows that you have just arrived at the mansion and it is inconvenient. You did not bring anything with you, so I prepared these gifts for you."

"Here are 100 taels of silver, 12 sets of spring, summer, autumn and winter clothes, 8 pieces of gold and silver jewelry, 3 tablecloths, 3 sets of quilts, mattresses and pillows for spring, summer and winter, 2 sets of gold and silver thread clothes, 1 gold bowl, 1 silver wine pot, 8 pairs of silver chopsticks, 5 pieces of rose soap, 1 ice stove and 1 fire stove..."

Qin Keqing sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at her charming and lustful self in the mirror, her heart filled with sweetness.
