An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

"Uncle Zhou, I don't know what arrangements Third Uncle has made for you, but the only thing Sister Xi wants to do is to ask you to protect the safety of all the exiled people in the General's Mansion."

The girl's expression was serious but also respectful and polite, even using honorifics, which greatly pleased Zhou Wei. She paused for a moment with a serious expression, then said in a serious tone, "The Jing family is here only when people are here!"

The little girl then bowed deeply to him. Zhou Wei was so frightened that he quickly dodged to the side: "Cousin, you can't do that. This is my responsibility."

Unexpectedly, he avoided the cousin's bow and accepted the eldest lady's salute.

"The captain of the guard is worthy of our respect, mother and daughter." After all, the lives of almost everyone in the Jing family are entrusted to them.

Jing Chunxi raised his not very high head with force, full of respect and trust for the person in front of him, but also with expectations and entrustment to him.

Zhou Wei didn't answer immediately, but wanted to continue waiting for the instructions of this clever cousin: "I wonder what specific ideas my cousin has?"

"In addition to the people needed to protect the safety of grandfather and his group, we also need people to stay in the capital to gather information. I believe that grandfather and uncle and the others would want to know the news in the capital even if they are in exile."

What she wanted to know most was what was happening in the capital, but she definitely couldn't reveal it, after all, she was still a little kid in the eyes of adults.

Zhou Wei still didn't say anything at this time, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Chu Chunxi suddenly became very respectful.

The five people did not go far and went straight into the west room of the main hall of the second courtyard. As soon as they entered, everyone stood with a serious expression, and even Jing Qiurong did not sit down.

Butler Jing took the lead and knelt down again, followed by Zhou Wei and Guard Cao. The butler said, "The old lady has ordered that from now on, all the people and property in the mansion are at the young lady's disposal. Please make all the arrangements, and I will serve you wholeheartedly and unwaveringly until my death!"

Sugar Frost, who had just followed the masters, did not follow in. Instead, after watching the five of them go in, he closed the door and stood guarding the door like a door god. He didn't give any orders, but everyone knew that outsiders were not allowed to listen.

This little girl spoke a little slowly, but her actions were extremely fast. She must be the kind of person whose actions were faster than her brain. In less than half an hour, she already knew what to listen to and what not to listen to, without any ambiguity at all.

"Everyone, please stand up. No need to be so polite. I would like to thank you all on behalf of General Jing's Mansion. The incident happened suddenly, and the General's Mansion is in such a situation. There is no need to go through so many red tape in the future. You should think more about what will happen next." Jing Qiurong spoke briefly and to the point. She did not sit down, and the others also stood without moving.

Jing Chunxi silently praised Conscience: Mother has indeed changed quickly. Now she only thinks about the issues of what is important and what is not, and has thrown away the useless dogmas in the book.

"Uncle Jing, from now on you will follow Mother in managing all affairs in the capital, but you will mainly be based at Qingshan Villa. For other matters, we'd better assign more unfamiliar stewards to handle them."

This time, Chu Chunxi's words surprised everyone. They usually didn't pay much attention to this little girl, so it was a bit strange that she would arrange things for them directly. However, such an important matter was arranged so well that they couldn't help but pay attention to it.

Looking at the eldest daughter, then at this cousin who was barely waist-high, Butler Jing nodded. If he appeared frequently in the capital at this time, it would surely attract the attention of those with ulterior motives. This would quickly expose many things he wanted to hide, making it difficult to guarantee the safety of the eldest daughter, the young master, and even the children.

No one can guarantee that the person above or anyone else has no backup plan. This is what Jing Chunxi is most worried about. She will never allow anything to happen at home before she returns to Beijing, so she must ensure that everything is foolproof.

Chu Chunxi didn't let them rest and said, "Uncle Jing, please arrange carriages and horses immediately to pick up the children from the General's Mansion who don't need to be exiled."

The butler nodded and replied, "Yes."

Chu Chunxi instructed again: "We must also arrange for the children of the Jing family from other regions to be picked up. Send them directly to Qingshan Villa. Someone has already gone there to make arrangements."

If he was skeptical just now, he is now convinced: "This old slave will go out and make arrangements right away."

After saying this, Butler Jing wanted to run away immediately. Every word of the cousin's arrangement made sense, and this matter was the most urgent.

Then I heard a childish voice from behind: "Uncle, don't worry, there's more..."

Butler Jing immediately paused, turned around and bowed to look at his cousin, and even pricked up his ears, afraid that he might miss anything.

"Uncle will have to arrange for the servants outside to send some people out to buy all the local goods that are easy to carry, such as steamed buns, sesame cakes, dried meat, etc. Even if you buy too much, the rest of the people will chop up the pigs, use the bones to make soup, and chop the pork into pieces to make braised pork."

Chu Chunxi thought about it and realized that what they lacked during the exile was oil and water. It would be a very happy thing if everyone could eat a few pieces of braised pork occasionally. It could not only solve the nutritional problem, but also satisfy their appetite and strengthen their body.

The main reason is that they don’t have much time to think about what to eat. They can’t be too particular about the food while in exile. It doesn’t make sense for prisoners to set up a feast on the road. It’s good enough if they don’t starve to death or die of disease.

Anyway, I don’t know how to do that, and I don’t have any such plans, let alone rolling up my sleeves to cook soup all the way.

"Also, have people buy shoes and boots. They must be durable and warm, in all sizes, and the more the better."

Butler Jing was a shrewd man. He understood what was going on as soon as he heard about shoes and boots. Although he had some doubts about cooking so much braised pork and buying so many steamed buns that were not easy to preserve, he did not raise any questions. After all, there were still many people in the Jing family's side branches. If the old lady was too sympathetic, there would not be much for everyone to share. The cousin probably wanted everyone to have a full meal tomorrow before setting off.

Finally, seeing that the cousin had no other instructions and turned to leave, Jing Qiurong hurriedly opened the wooden box in her hand, took out a few silver bills and handed them to the housekeeper.
