Back in the Lin Mansion.
Lin Xuan Qi got out of the horse carriage after the coachman had stopped it.
Xue Cong, Yue Jie, Yue Xin and Liu Shi Shi got out of it after him.
"You seem to be in a good mood," Yue Jie asked when she saw his expression.
He was full of smiles with what he had accomplished so far.
Lin Xuan Qi gave her a nod.
And if they weren't out in the open, he would have liked to give each of them a hug.
There was so much to be happy about for him.
He had successfully made the Governor give him a tax rebate, and he got his workers for the new factories and servants for the mansion.
Which was a great deal for him.
And with the increase in the number of servants and workers, what was left for him was to get more guards for the mansion.
However, that would have to take place after he had settled all the new servants.
The current guards were from the Yi Mei and Storm Fist Thunder Sect, and it would be best if he sought the new guards from the same sects.
"Of course, I'll be in a great mood." Lin Xuan Qi glanced at Yue Jie and said.
After which, he glanced at every one of them and continued, "All of you are capable enough to execute what I have in mind.
"And very soon, I should be able to relax and enjoy my life in the mansion while all of you work hard for me.
"Anyone would be in a great mood with that."
He shrugged his shoulders, and they frowned and shook their heads at him.
Xue Cong, Yue Jie, Yue Xin and Liu Shi Shi didn't know whether he was praising them for their improvement or not.
But that was the Master Lin they had known all along.
Always ready to tease them.
"It's cold out here, let's get back into the mansion and warm ourselves.
"We need to let the new servants settle in," Xue Cong said to Lin Xuan Qi and he nodded.
Yue Jie chimed in and said, "I think there would be a need to get new clothes for them first."
With her reminder, he glanced at the new servants who were waiting not far away from the horse carriage.
All of them were glancing around, marveling at how huge the mansion was.
They had nothing else with them except for the clothes they had on them.
"Sure, get it done soon. Make sure that there's enough budget for that." He agreed as they would need a few sets of clothes to change into.
Can't be running around the mansion with the ragged and stinking clothes they had on them for days.
The new batch of soap from the production would be finished soon and with the increase in the rice supplies, more funds would be coming in soon, so he wasn't so worried about that in the meantime.
"Come, let's get back into the mansion," Lin Xuan Qi shouted and waved at the new servants, and they got excited.
He entered the mansion and the others followed behind him.
When the new servants saw what the mansion looked like from the inside, they couldn't help but gasp at what they saw.
The other servants held their heads high, being proud of how impressed the new servants were.
After working for a while here in the mansion, they had already felt that they were part of it.
Lin Xuan Qi entered the main hall, and Xue Cong quickly poured him a cup of tea.
It wasn't hot since everyone was out for the dispensing of the charity porridge, so it was the best to quench his thirst for now.
He had a mouthful of the tea and glanced at Xue Cong, "I think I shall not be too involved in it this time."
Xue Cong nodded and said, "We will take care of the rest, Master Lin."
Lin Xuan Qi gave her a smile and sat where he was.
He wanted to see whether they could manage the new servants.
As the future mistresses of the Clan, Xue Cong and Yue Jie had to be more involved in the daily operations of the household than before.
And even Yue Xin with Liu Shi Shi would be expected to also be more involved.
With their help in the household, Lin Xuan Qi would then have the capacity to focus on other matters like businesses and cultivation.
"Everyone, come in and gather around," Xue Cong shouted and Yue Jie with Yue Xin helped usher the new servants into the main hall.
The new servants glanced at Xue Cong, not knowing what to expect.
"I'm Xue Cong, the senior servant of the mansion now and... soon to be wife of the master," Xue Cong said to the surprise of the new servants.
Her ears were burning hot when she said it, but it wasn't a secret, and she might as well get used to it soon.
She went on and introduced Yue Jie as a future concubine of the master, and the new servants were surprised again.
Some of them envied Xue Cong and Yue Jie, thinking that they might have a chance, but when they glanced at Lin Xuan Qi, he didn't seem to be interested in anyone else.
Others were glad to see that Lin Xuan Qi was getting married soon.
Such a kind and generous man should have a great marriage, if not the heavens would have been so unfair, they thought silently to themselves.
"Congratulations to Master Lin, Mistress Xue Cong and Mistress Yue Jie," the new servants quickly bowed and cupped their hands to congratulate them.
Lin Xuan Qi in his good mood was all smiles and said, "Thanks and that's where all of you come into the picture."
The wedding ceremony would be a flurry of activities and preparations.
Having more hands to help near it was a Godsend for everyone.
Xue Cong nodded and began to brief the new servants, "In the Lin Clan, we have rules..."
