That day, Zheng Lei moved into the Jun Xian Manor that Di Yi had given him.
This was a huge mansion that occupied more than 30 acres. There was a small lake, a garden, and a fake mountain. When Diyi sent over the maidservants and slaves that he had given to Zheng Lei, the lifeless mansion instantly became lively.
Zheng Lei also became a lord for the first time, becoming a high official in an ancient feudal dynasty who lived in a luxurious mansion.
In the front yard of Jun Xian Manor.
Twenty palace maids and a hundred young slaves were standing there in an orderly manner, looking around curiously.
Dressed in white, he looked handsome with his hands behind his back. He had an otherworldly aura about him. As their master, he was the famous Imperial Advisor of the Great Shang Dynasty, Zheng Lei, who had stirred up the entire Zhaoge Empire in the past two days.
The twenty palace maids were originally serving Diyi and the Queen in the Thearch Palace. Now that Diyi had given them to Zheng Lei, they were not palace maids but maids. These maids were all pretty!
They looked at Zheng Lei for a while. Most of them blushed and their hearts beat like thunder. They were completely mesmerized by Zheng Lei's handsome appearance.
Zheng Lei, who did not know what the maidservant was thinking, sized up the maidservant and the slave and said,""Which of you has experience in managing a mansion?”
Just as Zheng Lei was feeling disappointed, thinking that none of these slaves and maids were of great use, a clear voice rang out,""Preceptor! This servant once managed a palace maid in the palace.”
Zheng Lei turned his gaze to the source of the voice and found that it was a beautiful young lady in her mid-twenties. She had a graceful figure and wore a long green dress. Her hair reached her waist, and she had one or two jade ornaments on her head.
"That's right. What's your name?"
Based on his observation of Diyi's temperament over the past few days, Diyi naturally would not use a honey trap to tempt him. It was indeed the green-clothed girl in front of him who had some ability.
Diyi sent her here probably because he understood the difficulty of having no one to use in his new residence.
"Lord Preceptor, this servant's name is Qingyao!”The green-robed maiden said respectfully.
"From now on, you will be the steward of Junxian Manor.”Zheng Lei said.
"Qingyao, do you know that there are people here who can cook?" Zheng Lei continued. Gardening?"
"Yes, Preceptor." Qingyao nodded.”
Following that, she turned to the group of maids." Jiaxue, Liu 'er, Xing Lan, Lu-er, the four of you have good culinary skills. Go to the kitchen! Luo Mei, Qing Zhi, since you know how to garden, you can take charge of the garden in the residence…”
Qingyao was indeed worthy of being in charge of a palace maid in the Imperial Palace. She had arranged everything in an orderly manner.
The palace maids and slaves who were named by Qingyao looked very happy. After all, Jun Xian Manor was such a big manor. It was impossible for there to be only twenty maids. In the future, there would be many low-level maids who did odd jobs. This way, they, who had arrived first, would be promoted unknowingly.
The palace maids and slaves who were not called out looked disappointed.
After everything was arranged, Qingyao turned to Zheng Lei and said,""Preceptor, please wait a moment. I will bring everyone to clean up. I believe we can move in before dark.”
"Alright, go ahead!" Zheng Lei said with a smile. In the future, you don't have to call me Preceptor. Just call me Young Master.”
Although Qingyao was a little surprised by Zheng Lei's request, as a slave, she did not question her master's rights. She agreed,""Alright, Young Master."
Before nightfall, the main residential area of the mansion had been cleaned up.
Zheng Lei had officially moved into Jun Xian Manor.
The next morning, Zheng Lei had yet to enter the palace to meet Diyi.
Diyi had actually brought his three sons to visit Zheng Lei at Junxian Manor.
In the main hall of Junxian Manor.
Zheng Lei and Di Yi sat at the head of the table while the three children stood below them.
One was about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in plain clothes. His body was thin and weak, and he looked like a scholar.
One of them was about eleven or twelve years old. He was thin and had dry, dark skin.
The last one looked like he was five or six years old, but at such a young age, he already had a strong build and thick eyebrows. One could imagine that when he grew up, he would definitely be a strong man.
"These three are probably the sons of Di Yi. According to the order, they are Wei Ziqi, Wei Zhongyan, and the next and last monarch of the Shang Dynasty, Di Xing, who is also King Zhou.”
Zheng Lei had already guessed their identities after taking a glance at the three children.
Zheng Lei then turned to Diyi, who was drinking tea, and said,""These three must be the young masters of the king, right?”
Seeing Zheng Lei speak, Diyi raised his head and smiled."Yes, they are my three good-for-nothing children. I'll hand them over to you now!”
After having a long chat with Zheng Lei on the way back, Diyi had already prostrated himself in admiration of Zheng Lei.
Especially when Zheng Lei would occasionally say some famous sayings about governing the world, it simply made Diyi feel like he was a celestial being. Other than the first time he met Zheng Lei, he said," Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. The monarch is a wooden boat, and the people are like drowning."
Another example was,"Ruling a big country is like cooking a small fish!"”
For example,"those who have the way have more help, while those who have lost the way have little help."”
There were also the words," Use copper as a mirror to straighten your clothes; Take the ancients as a mirror, and you can know the rise and fall of the world. Take people as a mirror, and you can see the gains and losses."
Each of these words made a country ruler like him gain a lot.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was nearing the forties and it was inappropriate for him to acknowledge Zheng Lei as his master, he would have really wanted to acknowledge Zheng Lei as his master.
He didn't have the chance to do so, but he had already made up his mind to pass his three sons to Zheng Lei for guidance.
In the future, no matter who inherited his position, it would be a blessing to the entire Great Shang and the people.
"Alright." Zheng Lei nodded. I'll go to the palace tomorrow to teach the three princes.”
Since he had already promised Diyi on the way, he would naturally keep his promise.
"In order to avoid Sir from overworking himself, Sir does not have to go to the palace every day to teach my three princes," Di Yi said. I asked them to come to your residence every day to receive your teachings.”
"Your Majesty!" Zheng Lei was surprised. This isn't appropriate."
Ever since the Xia and Shang dynasties were established, there had never been a teacher who had a prince attend a teacher's class. This was a historical precedent for Diyi!
