Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 538 Will you live with us in the future?

Hualei was very content with the meal, and Zhenzhu and Rong Jin on the side also looked satisfied.

No matter how good the food is on the road, it can't compare to the peace and tranquility at home. . The maids cleared away the empty dishes, and Madam Han spoke, asking Rong Jin and Hua Lei.

"Jin'er, Jin'er's wife, will you live with us in the future? I have already prepared the house on the east side for you. It should be more comfortable than your official residence."

"No, we still live in the official residence. It's convenient there. Although mother's place is very good, it's too far from the government office. It's not convenient for me and my sister Hua to go to and from work in the morning and at night. Otherwise, Zhenzhu, why don't you live here?"

Rong Jin didn't wait for Hua Lei to refuse, he spoke first and pushed Zhenzhu in as a shield.

"Me? Forget it. My husband must live in the official residence. It's unlikely that I can live here alone. I'd better come and keep you company when I'm free."

Zhenzhu also refused. She was a clear-headed person. As a daughter, she definitely missed Madam Han. However, if she really had to accompany Madam Han all day long, her carefree personality would not allow it.

The mother and daughter have different personalities, so she should come to visit Madam Han when she is free. Normally, it is fine for her to live alone in the official residence. Besides, she also wants to open a shop with Hua Lei.

On the way, Hua Lei taught her a lot of business tips, and she was ready to follow Hua Lei to show her skills. Being rejected was expected, so Mrs. Han was not too disappointed.

As for Zhenzhu, she really had no intention of letting her live here. If Zhenzhu lived here, her son-in-law would definitely come with her.

It's not like Jiang Yunqi has no place to live, so he probably wouldn't be willing to live with his father-in-law and mother-in-law and be restricted for no reason. However, it is indeed inappropriate for a young couple to live separately.

After all, Pearl only had a daughter and no son, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then you can live on your own. When you have a day off, come over and have dinner with us."

After a pause, he said to Hua Lei, "Daughter-in-law Jin, if you are willing to come and live here, you can come anytime. I will keep the house for you. In case you get pregnant or something, there will be someone here to watch over you."

"Yes, thank you, mother." Hua Lei responded with a smile. She believed that Mrs. Han's words were sincere, even though Mrs. Han had disliked her before.

But now that the matter is done, she can't change anything. Besides, she likes her son, so she might be favored by him as well.

"How about this, Zhenzhu, you talk to your mother for a while, Jin'er and Lei'er, come with me to the study, I have something to tell you." Pei Jingyang stood up and said.

Rong Jin and Hua Lei nodded in agreement and followed Pei Jingyang into the study room next door.

"Lei'er, these two books are the account books and registers of the brick kiln and timber workshop in the Marquis' Mansion. I'll give them to you. Please help look after them when you have time.

I'm in the military camp and I can't spare time during this period. " Pei Jingyang took out two account books from his desk as soon as he entered the study, handed them to Hua Lei, and said.

"Also, Dingsheng has given you the title deeds to several houses and shops, right? Whether you want to run these houses and shops yourself or rent them out is entirely up to you. I won't be in charge of anything." Pei Jingyang started to act like a hands-off boss.

"Oh, Lei'er, here are the account books of the two shops your grandfather bought. I'll give them to you too. You can go take a look at them later. One is on East Street, and it's quite big. It's diagonally opposite the three houses we just bought.

One is in the small town of Modong in the east, and it takes two or three days to get there. Your grandfather said that you will be in charge of these two shops in the future." Pei Jingyang suddenly remembered his father's shop account book and gave it to Hualei like a hot potato.

"However, Lei'er, this shop has always been kept in the public palace, so let's keep it there. You just need to take some effort to help manage it, and don't confuse it with your own shop, lest the other families feel uncomfortable. Our eldest family doesn't care about this, anyway, 70% of it belongs to our eldest family." Pei Jingyang reminded Hua Lei again.

"Yes, father, I understand." Hua Lei agreed.

"Father, Sister Hua still has to go on duty. How can she have so much time to take care of these mundane affairs?" Rong Jin was very dissatisfied with his father's shirking of responsibility.

A few days ago, I asked Sister Hua to put aside her business affairs and pay more attention to me. Now, my father has thrown all the affairs of Mobei to Sister Hua.

Pei Jingyang glared and asked, "Then I'll leave it to you? Can you do it? Do you know how to do it? Don't think that you know everything just because you won the third place. The twists and turns in this business are more difficult than your imperial examination papers."

After a pause, he continued, "You know your mother's health condition. She used to be sick, but now she is finally getting better. How can I let her take over so many things? What if her health deteriorates again?"

"What if Sister Hua is too exhausted?" Rong Jin asked, "Why don't you ask Uncle Dasheng and Brother Feishan to take care of it?

Grandmother was worried that Sister Hua would be too tired, so she assigned Uncle Dingsheng and Brother Feiyang to work for Sister Hua. "

"Um... then I'll let Dasheng, Feishan and the others follow Lei'er from now on? Lei'er, do you think this is okay?" Pei Jingyang said somewhat guiltily.

“Father, it’s okay. I have people under my command who can be used. After a while, the ship on my farm should be arriving in Mobei soon. By then, I will have enough manpower.

Uncle Dasheng and Brother Feishan should just follow you and don't listen to your husband." Hualei said with a smile, "Anyway, I just need to look at the account book, and I don't need to dig mud, make molds, and burn bricks myself. I won't be tired."

"Sister Hua, please don't be embarrassed. Father has no idea how tiring it is to look at the account books. It's a headache. What's more, you won't have free time due to the huge amount of government affairs coming up." Rong Jin was worried that Hua Lei couldn't bear it.

"Then..." Pei Jingyang remembered his father talking about Hua Lei being transferred to the Ministry of Revenue. If that was the case, Hua Lei would indeed be quite tired in the future.

"Then...why don't we wait for Rongyu's wife to come and leave these things to her? How is Rongyu's wife? Is her body and brain okay?" Pei Jingyang asked after hesitating for a moment.

"Forget it, father. She is even more shameless than my aunt. My aunt is smart. She is trying to sneak into her own room. I can understand that.

Rong Yu, this daughter-in-law, is a brainless person who is self-righteous. If you hand over the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion to her, I guarantee that you will not only earn no money throughout the year, but also lose all your capital. You don't know that she can't even take care of the food and accommodation for herself and Rong Yu. "
