Soon they arrived at the large front door of the house. Ji Jiu had Wen Ting open the main door and ordered Uncle Kang to continue driving the carriage until he reached the small gate inside. Ji Jiu hurriedly got off the carriage and loudly called out to Aunt Qiao. Aunt Qiao and the four aunts were busy preparing food for the workers. Hearing Ji Jiu's voice, he hurriedly asked Uncle Yu to open the door.
Ji Jiu saw that the inside was too small and told him to park the horse and donkey cart outside the fence first. As for everyone's accommodations, right now there isn't any. Ji Jiu said that she would have a technician come and build a temporary shelter for them first. Items purchased in the evening were slowly lifted away.
After telling everyone, Ji Jiu went to talk to the aunts. They learned that these were the people Ji Jiu had bought to take care of the house and work for her. Ji Jiu called everyone to introduce herself to the aunts. Then she walked towards the new house that was being built to find Uncle Ai and Uncle Elder.
Once found, Ji Jiu told them what she had been doing for the past two days and also asked for the afternoon. Uncle Ai divided his people up to build a shelter for them first. Wait for the house to be finished before renovating the place for them. Uncle Ai accepted her promise and also told Aunt Qiao about an additional 20 taels for materials. Luckily, she had already ordered Aunt Qiao so there would be no problems. Uncle Ai said embarrassedly that he really forgot to calculate the materials for the warehouse. It's a good thing Ji Jiu was so considerate. Ji Jiu even laughed at Uncle Ai and said that he was old. It made the elders who were listening laugh out loud.
Lunch was almost here, so Ji Jiu invited everyone to eat and rest first. She and the nine people hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so they were very hungry. Walking back to the courtyard, she found that Aunt Qiao had set a table for her in the south. The tree is waiting. Ji Jiu told the nine people. Let's go eat freely. Aunt Qiao already made it in case, so don't be afraid of running out of food. She ordered him to eat until he was full. Aunt Qiao heard that but smiled at Ji Jiu and walked into the kitchen to eat with Four Aunt. As for all the new people, she found mats to spread out for them to sit and eat in the house for convenience. Because in the courtyard, all 50 workers had already occupied their regular space.
While eating, Ji Jiu told Uncle Ai to build a separate residence for the Kang family, one with 4 bedrooms and a hall. Her bodyguards also built the same for them. The bathroom was built in a simple way. As for the toilet, it probably had to be shared at the old house first. Ji Jiu asked Uncle Ai to help build a simple toilet since the fence had already been built. The toilet is made of wood and has a simple flip-flop valve to receive waste. Uncle Ai also asked for a model for her in order to hire someone to build one for the villagers. Ji Jiu gave it to her. Until now, the house of the elders and the workers who come to build her house are all flocking together. All the toilets like hers have been built. They said it was convenient and clean for heavy pain and light pain.
Uncle Ai listened to Ji Jiu and promised her. He also said that he would build more bathrooms and bathrooms. Right now the bricklaying was very fast because it had not rained since Ji Jiu had been on business. They finished building all four walls in two days because Uncle Ai had ordered a large amount of materials in advance. Plus, these diligent workers are rushing to work especially hard for Ji Jiu. This afternoon, he will divide up the workers to make the upper beams for laying the roof tiles and then build the inner rooms later. You won't waste time if it rains so the inside won't get wet. Ji Jiu listened and did what Uncle Ai wanted. She only told her that if the money was not enough, she would tell her. After eating and chatting, Ji Jiu let everyone rest before starting work in the afternoon. She walked into the house and told the sick person to rest first. As for the Kang family, if you would like to take a look or help with Aunt Qiao's work, that's fine. She had work to do and didn't need to disturb her. If there is an urgent matter, Aunt Qiao will come and call her. Everyone listened and responded to Ji Jiu.
Entering the room, Ji Jiu took out a small account book and wrote down the expenses she had spent in the past two days. She ran down the list from the cost of renting a horse carriage, 1 tael, the cost of her and Master Yuan's clothes, 10 taels, the tavern fee 1 tael, food in the tavern 400 tael, slave fare 120 tael, slave food 250 tael, horse fare 150 tael, carriage 20 tael, donkey 20 tael, donkey cart. 10 taels, the cost in Haitang District was 4 taels, 150 I Pae, which gave her back a bill of exchange of 400 taels, 20 taels of silver, 900 I Pae. She didn't count the amount she got back from Aunt Qiao because Aunt Qiao had to go buy ingredients for cooking tomorrow. She would not have to give Aunt Qiao money again.
Ji Jiu didn't put the bill of exchange into the box, but put it in her purse along with the rest of the money. In case she had to pay so she wouldn't have to open the box so often, Ji Jiu, who had been suffering from a headache with Li Hui since the morning, went to rest until evening.
while Ji Jiu was resting. The Kang family then went to help Aunt Qiao with her work. Aunt Qiao explained to them first about Ji Jiu's personality. She also told them not to use the behavior of the previous boss with Ji Jiu. It would make Ji Jiu uncomfortable. The Kang family then understood why Ji Jiu had scolded them this morning. In addition, Li Hui was also the one who received the most criticism. Kang Jun himself instructed his wife not to do it again. That's enough. Young Mistress has already told me that she doesn't like picky people. Li Hui firmly promised, she also asked Aunt Qiao to introduce her to the family. The kind-hearted Aunt Qiao responded with a smile. Uncle Yu also lightly reassured her that her older sister was a kind person. She told them many stories, including going up the mountain. As for how Ji Jiu had helped them, the others also sat and listened with curiosity. After listening, they came to the conclusion that it was enough to just listen to Young Mistress's orders. If there were no orders for them to do anything, she wouldn't mind.
Even before dinner. Uncle Ai came to look for Ji Jiu. Ah Yu went and called for Ji Jiu to wake up and wash her face and then go out to meet Uncle Ai. He took her to see the two temporary houses. Including a shower room and toilet as per the design. Ji Jiu thanked Uncle Ai and also told Uncle Ai to remember to charge for the materials that were made today. Uncle Ai said that these two houses were only temporary. The roof was previously covered with grass. Waiting for Ji Jiu's house for another ten days before redoing it, Ji Jiu accepted and sent Uncle Ai back to rest because the workers had all finished work.
Jiji
Wu told the Kang family and the four brothers to take their beds into their own houses and then go home to eat together. The 9 of them accepted and hurriedly went to get their things in the back of the donkey cart while Ji Jiu rested. They went looking for wood along with workers who came to build temporary shelters for them. Let's make stables for horses and donkeys outside the old house fence. They also find grass and water to care for them well.
Ji Jiu listened to Aunt Qiao's words and nodded in acknowledgment. The four sick brothers didn't dare disobey Ji Jiu's orders. So he sat in the house feeling sad. Aunt Qiao also encouraged them to be patient until they recovered before repaying Ji Jiu. But if it made her dissatisfied, there would be no hope, even her face wouldn't care. They then responded that they would absolutely not disobey the order.
Due to more people and not enough tables and chairs. So there were only four women sitting at the table eating, and seven men. They found a place to sit and eat together in the courtyard in front of the house. Ji Jiu talked to Aunt Qiao about the money to buy ingredients tomorrow, saying that Auntie didn't have to return the remaining money she gave her. Aunt Qiao accepted her promise, and Ji Jiu also had Kang Jie take Aunt Qiao to the market. Instead of bothering Aunt He and Uncle Elder tomorrow. Aunt Qiao then told her that before going, she would stop by the elder's house to tell her. Ji Jiu nodded and accepted. Little Uncle Yu also said that while Ji Jiu was not around, she had already finished drying the herbs. Waiting for Ji Jiu to come and check for her, Ji Jiu said that he would look at it for her tomorrow and if it could be used. He will take her to sell in the district after Aunt Qiao returns. Aunt Yu is delighted and laughs and says that she will definitely be able to travel in the district tomorrow. Because she does a good job This made Ji Jiu laugh and follow her.
The newcomers had just seen Young Mistress laugh for the first time since they met. She didn't look like a child her age at all. They therefore felt unusually considerate of her.
After the meal, Ji Jiu went to take a shower, while the others cleaned up and helped Aunt Qiao, then dispersed to their respective houses to take a shower and rest.
