23
At the back of the Marquisdom, Jia Huan smiled as he looked at the birds and swallows in front of him.
He actually didn't have any unnecessary thoughts. He just wanted his sisters to live a better life.
Although Rong Mansion looked prosperous, Jia Baoyu was the real god there!
Jia Baoyu had countless taels of silver and money. He could have anything he wanted. However, these sisters had a fixed monthly allowance. Moreover, they would be embezzled by those rotten servants.
For example, the rouge and cosmetic powder they used, Jia Huan had asked Aunt Zhao, and they were all ordinary goods!
Therefore, although the Jia Residence looked glamorous on the surface, it was actually rotten on the inside.
"From now on, all of you will live here well. The entire back residence will be independent.”
"At the same time, I have also arranged for ten female guards to guard the place. No outsider is allowed to enter.”
Jia Huan said so. As the saying went, men and women should not sit at the same table at the age of seven. This was a rule to avoid suspicion. It was the same for biological siblings!
And the Jia family did not care about this at all. Even in places that men were not allowed to enter, Jia Baoyu was unimpeded. Moreover, the place where he lived was only separated from Lin Daiyu by a wall?
How could this be? If Lin Ruhai knew about this, he would probably rush to the capital, right?
Sanchun and the others didn't quite understand. Only Xue Baochai, Lin Daiyu, and Shi Xiangyun understood something.
After all, they were not like San Chun who was raised in captivity, so they more or less knew some rules.
However, Lin Daiyu had always thought that her grandmother loved her, which was why she lived next to Jia Baoyu. Now that she thought about it, her face turned pale. If word got out, what would happen to her reputation?
Jia Huan looked at the frightened Lin Daiyu and quickly said.
"Younger Sister, don't be afraid. Now that everything is fine, you all have come to the Marquisdom and are staying in this rear residence.”
Jia Huan said a few more words before taking his leave. Men and women were different. Although they were family, it was not good to stay too long.
Looking at Jia Huan's behavior, Xue Baochai could not help but sigh.
"A real man should be like this!"
Hearing Xue Baochai's words, everyone thought of Baoyu and sighed silently.
However, they were still brothers and sisters, so they were not angry. They just hated Baoyu for being disappointing.
Zi Juan looked at the bustling courtyard and said excitedly to Lin Daiyu.
"Miss, this courtyard is really good! It's much better than the one I lived in before."
The other ladies also smiled and nodded. This was a residence of a prince, so how could it not be good?
At this moment, a servant girl came in with a plate of food.
"This is?"
They didn't recognize these maids because they were given by the Emperor and were chosen from the Imperial Manor.
"Ladies, this is Lord Marquis's order.”
"Lord Marquis said that all of you are noble daughters of the Lord's Residence and you cannot neglect yourself in the future.”
As she spoke, the servant girl opened the tray in her hand and saw stacks of silver notes and gold and silver.
"Ah!"
When had the girls ever seen such a scene?
Although Xue Baochai's family was rich, and so was Lin Daiyu's, they were women after all, so they didn't have much money.
The money that Lin Daiyu brought was taken by Madam Wang. When she was in the Jia residence, she could only use the fixed monthly allowance.
"Lord Marquis said that these silver notes and gold and silver are for the ladies 'monthly allowance. If you need anything in the future, you can bring the female guards to the capital to buy them.”
"Don't lose the face of the Marquisdom. If you want to buy, then buy the best. Don't be harsh on yourself.”
This servant girl really knew how to talk and basically said what Jia Huan was thinking.
The girls were very touched, especially Shi Xiangyun. Her family was in a very poor situation. Even she, her aunt and sisters had to do needlework to support their family.
But Jia Huan was actually so good to them.
At first glance, each of the ladies had received at least a hundred taels of silver and a pile of gold and silver beans!
"This, isn't this too much?"
Jia Tanchun said. Their monthly allowance in Rong Mansion was only about two taels of silver, but now it had increased by dozens of times!
After all, in the eyes of the Jia family, the lady did not need to go out, nor did she need to socialize with others. Naturally, she did not need much monthly allowance.
The servant girl thought for a moment and then remembered what Lord Marquis had said.
"Lord Marquis said that Young Lady should be raised in a rich family so that she wouldn't feel good about everything she sees in the future and be deceived.”
Hearing the servant girl's words, the girls covered their mouths and laughed, unable to stop.
"Right, can we really leave the residence? But on the ancestor's side..."
Lin Daiyu asked hesitantly. One had to know that women in this era could not easily leave the residence. Even if they wanted to go out, they could only take a carriage.
Grandmother Jia had never allowed them to go out, but now Lin Tian actually allowed them to go out.
At this moment, Jia Huan walked over. He had just gone to make arrangements for the female guards.
His personal guard was one for every 100 soldiers, and he could choose his own gender! Thus, out of the sixty personal guards, ten of them were women, and they were specially assigned to protect the back of the residence.
"This is the Marquisdom and has nothing to do with that place. No one dares to say a word.”
Jia Huan said with a smile. Everyone was happy in their hearts and then looked at Jia Huan with admiration.
"Third Brother is so good."
Jia Xichun directly threw himself into Jia Huan's arms, the little girl's eyes full of stars.
Jia Huan laughed. If he raised this girl, she would not become a cold-hearted and heartless person in the future. Jia Huan expressed his gratification and happiness.
"Alright, from now on, just go out and look for female guards. However, you still have to avoid suspicion. It's best to take a carriage. Even if you walk on the streets, you have to wear a veil.”
Jia Huan said. This was a rule that every woman had to follow.
The women nodded hurriedly, and then Jia Huan continued.
"I need to go out for a while. The Deputy Commander of the Imperial City Bureau, Gu Qianfan, invited me to a gathering. The chef of the Marquis's manor is from the imperial kitchen.”
After Jia Huan finished speaking, he bade farewell and left. He did not stay any longer, causing the sisters to be even more delighted and worshiped.
