Chapter 456 Taking Over Ximen Mansion
Chapter 456 Taking Over Ximen Mansion
Ximen Qing was kicked to the ground by Zhang Jianjun and couldn't get up.
Look at him like this.
Zhang Jianjun went over and grabbed Ximen Qing by the collar.
"Hmph, take me to your house now!"
Ximen Qing was frightened by Zhang Jianjun and had no choice but to lead the way.
After a while, they arrived at a large mansion.
The word "Ximen" was written on it, so it was obviously Ximen Qing's house.
Entered the house.
Ximen Qing's family was considered a wealthy family in Qinghe County, and they had many slaves and maids.
But at this moment, their mouths were all open, watching in disbelief as Ximen Qing was grabbed by the collar by a handsome man and brought back like a dead dog.
Ximen Qing's first wife, Wu Yueniang heard the servant's report.
Rushed over immediately.
Without caring about anything else, he came to Zhang Jianjun.
"Sir, please be gentle!"
She pleaded for Ximen Qing.
Zhang Jianjun looked in the direction of the voice and saw a graceful woman slowly walking towards him.
She looked to be around 28 or 29 years old, with a round face, eyes as plump as apricots, and long eyelashes that trembled slightly, seeming to be able to make people intoxicated in the blink of an eye.
Although she is not stunningly beautiful, she has a unique charm and is the type that becomes more beautiful the more you look at her.
Her behavior is very elegant, and her every move exudes a touch of gentleness.
At this moment, she was wearing a pink dress, and her skirt fluttered gently while she walked, making her look light and moving. Every step she took was filled with an indescribable charm, like a flower swaying in the wind, making people unable to help but take a few more glances.
Zhang Jianjun laughed and said, "Ximen Qing is a man who has done many evil things. He does evil things all the time and harms his neighbors!"
Wu Yueniang naturally knew Ximen Qing's character, and was often bullied by him.
Seeing this today, I just instinctively pleaded for Ximen Qing.
Now after hearing what Zhang Jianjun said, she felt relaxed.
He quickly let Zhang Jianjun into the backyard.
And asked the maid to bring good tea.
At this time, Ximen Qing was only half alive.
Just when Zhang Jianjun was drinking tea.
There was a commotion in the backyard.
A plump woman with a chubby face came in. She swayed from side to side as she walked, and it was obvious that she was a fickle woman.
"what happened!"
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Zhang Jianjun and Wu Yueniang drinking tea together, while Ximen was lying on the ground, without a sound.
Wu Yueniang said to Zhang Jianjun, "This is Li Jiao'er. She used to be a street singer. Since she came to the mansion, she has gained weight and is no longer as pretty as before!"
After all, Li Jiaoer used to sing on the street, so she still has a good eye.
Seeing Wu Yueniang and Zhang Jianjun talking like this, and then looking at Ximen Qing who was only breathing his last breath.
She came to Wu Yue Niang and said respectfully, "Good sister, what's going on?"
Wu Yueniang smiled slightly: "You can't even see this, Ximen Qing is no longer good, from now on our family name will be Zhang!"
Then he looked at Zhang Jianjun.
Li Jiaoer immediately understood what he meant and came to Zhang Jianjun to pay his respects.
Zhang Jianjun asked her to sit aside.
Li Jiaoer sat beside Zhang Jianjun with great joy, her eyes sparkling with anticipation for an unknown new life. Although she was born in a humble family, she was very good at reading people's expressions, and at this moment she had a vague feeling that this handsome man who suddenly appeared might be a turning point in her destiny.
Zhang Jianjun took a sip of tea and looked at everyone present, including Ximen Qing who was still lying on the ground, thinking in his heart. He was not a bloodthirsty person, but Ximen Qing's evil deeds really made him unbearable. Today's action can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. As for the future of Ximen Mansion, he has a new plan.
"Wu Yueniang, Li Jiao'er," Zhang Jianjun spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful, "What Ximen Qing did is intolerable. My original intention was not to seize his property, but since things have come to this, I plan to take over the Ximen Mansion. At the same time, I will also assume the responsibility of protecting you and everyone in the mansion. However, I have a condition."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yueniang and Li Jiao'er both felt a tightness in their hearts, and then looked at Zhang Jianjun hopefully, waiting for his next words.
"I want you two, and all the servants in the mansion, to mend your ways from now on, and no longer participate in any acts of oppression of the people or evil deeds. I will use Ximen Qing's wealth to help those who have been oppressed by him, and I will also use a portion to improve life in the mansion so that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment."
Wu Yueniang and Li Jiaoer were delighted when they heard this and quickly nodded in agreement. They knew that compared to Ximen Qing's brutal rule, the conditions proposed by Zhang Jianjun were undoubtedly a new beginning and a possibility full of hope.
"In addition," Zhang Jianjun continued, "I will invite an accountant to reorganize the accounts of Ximen Mansion to ensure that every income and expenditure is open and transparent, and never allow corruption to happen again. At the same time, I will open a school so that the children in the mansion and even the children in Qinghe County can have the opportunity to read and learn to be sensible and kind."
These words not only made Wu Yueniang and Li Jiao'er admire him, but even the servants and maids in the mansion secretly discussed that this new master seemed to be really different from others.
At this time, there were two people living in the backyard, one named Meng Yulou and the other named Sun Xue'e. They were chatting in the house when they suddenly heard a noise coming from outside. Meng Yulou asked curiously, "What's going on?" Sun Xue'e frowned and said, "I don't know either. I heard that something happened in the living room in front." Meng Yulou thought, since there is something exciting to watch, why not go and see it! So she took Sun Xue'e to the front yard together.
Meng Yulou is already thirty years old this year, but she still maintains a beautiful appearance. Her skin is as white as snow, her eyes are as bright as stars, her eyebrows are as slender as paintings, her lips are as red as flowers, and her hair is as black as clouds. She is tall and graceful, with a slender and soft waist, swaying in the wind like a willow branch. She wears a light blue long skirt with exquisite flower patterns embroidered on it. The hem of the skirt flutters gently with her steps, exuding a faint fragrance. She always has a gentle smile on her face, which makes people feel kind and warm.
Sun Xue'e is younger than Meng Yulou, about 27 or 28 years old. Although her appearance is not as outstanding as Meng Yulou, she is also a beautiful girl. She is relatively short, slightly round and a little fat. Her face is round, like a ripe apple, her skin is white and rosy, and when she smiles, two deep dimples appear on her cheeks, which is very cute. Her eyes are big, clear as water, and her eyelashes are thick and slightly upturned, giving people a feeling of innocence. .
