The first time I opened fire in my new home was not a feast, but it was full of flavor.
There is not so much courtesy in a family. We say that we can have dinner together in the front dining room every day and talk about the new things outside every day, which can also promote the feelings between relatives.
Fortunately, the courtyard is not big. It's only three steps in. It's only a cup of tea when you go to the dining room. It doesn't delay anything. Moreover, it's good for your health to walk after dinner.
After lunch, song Xintong, Lu's mother and Lu Yunkai discuss the purchase of servants. "The yard is not big, but it's troublesome to clean it. It's just that Daya and Xiaoyue are not enough, let alone Xiaoyue is pregnant. The rest are men. They follow Xianggong and Xiaobao on weekdays."
Lu Mu nodded and said, "just do what you want, but my yard doesn't need too many people."
Lu Yunkai also nodded, "if you lack something, you can buy it. You are in charge of the feedback at home. Everything is up to you."
"Well, I'll let Zhuang he go to the dental shop later." Song Xintong finished also embarrassed smile, "I a village woman unexpectedly also became your wife, I this heart also some embarrassed."
"Just get used to it." Lu's mother said with a gesture that everyone is not spoiled and doesn't like to be served. It's just that the yard is too big and there are still a few people who need to work. If Wang's and Zhou's come, it's OK, but they don't come. They can only buy.
If you want to add more people in the future, you should buy them earlier and cultivate them.
At the time of the sound, the people of Yahang came with nearly a hundred men and women. They stood in the open space in front of the lobby for people to choose from. Just like the food market, they wanted to have good taste and affordable food.
Of course, it's better to choose people more carefully. They have to be smart and have good character. As for appearance, it's just plain. Song Xintong doesn't plan to buy those smart girls to climb the master's bed.
It's not that she doesn't believe in Lu Yunkai, but that there are many things written in the storybook, such as all kinds of overpowering drugs, getting drunk and climbing on the bed. It's impossible to prevent them, so it's better to be cautious and take precautions.
So in the end, more than 40 servants were selected, including men and women, young and old. The porters, the front yard sweepers, the stables and the side gatekeepers were all men. The kitchen and the inner yard are cleaned and washed by women or mothers in law.
As for the steward, song Xintong gave it to Zhuang He. He was reliable, so he was relieved to give it to him. As for the inner courtyard, Daya was watching for the time being. She had learned a lot of steward work in the past two years, and it was enough to manage some things in the inner courtyard.
There are also some women in their thirties among the buyers. It's good to serve others. They specially serve Lu's mother. Of course, the servant girls are also assigned several.
Unlike the first-class, the second-class and the little ones in the big family, there are only five or six people in the courtyard of Lu Mu and the main room, mainly serving tea and water. There are also some small things.
Now we are still in the probation period, and dare not entrust the important task. We are still staring at it. If not, we will replace it later.
And Lu Yunkai and twins study and yard is not equipped with servant girls, are smart sensible little Si.
Song Xintong knew that men in ancient times were precocious, but she didn't want the twins to get in touch with those things too early, and she didn't want to have anything like concubines, so it was better to isolate them earlier.
After an afternoon of rehousing, these people gradually find their own positions, but it will take a little time to use them well.
Song Xintong was in a good mood when he looked at the servant girls in the uniform clothes. He liked the neat dress and didn't have too much headdress and make-up, so he looked like he was working.
Although they were asked to wear simple and uniform clothes without too many patterns, song Xintong did not restrict their private behavior, and the monthly money was also very good. Everyone was very satisfied. At least when she said the monthly money, everyone was smiling.
Song Xintong took a sip of tea from his servant girl, and then he and Zhuang He, who had been standing by, said, "the accountant I invited also arrived. These two days, we have also set up these regulations. The family rules and regulations should be set up. You also remind us to avoid hitting the muzzle of the gun when we get there."
Zhuang He said, "yes, madam."
"You will be our housekeeper in the future." Song Xintong Weidun, "originally wanted to let uncle Yang do this, but he was worried about the past, so he recommended you to come."
"Although you are young, you still have the ability to be a housekeeper. I'm willing to give you this opportunity, and you can do it well. If you can't do it well, I'll replace you." Song Xintong was vaccinated first to avoid being too young and proud.
Zhuang he knelt down on the ground immediately to show his loyalty, "madam, don't worry, I will do it well."
"Well, I believe it." After a pause, song Xintong said, "now that we have moved our new house, we should invite our friends to our house for a feast. So the master has decided the next rest day. Go down and get ready."
"Yes."
"This banquet is not only a time to test me, but also a time to test you. We should do the best with the least money." Song Xintong took a sip of tea: "is there a problem?"
"No, ma'am." Zhuang he paused for a moment, "the villain is going to get ready now."
"Well." Song Xintong also intended to test Zhuang He. Although Zhuang He was very capable in Taohua village, it was the first time that he worked alone. Who knows if he could?
Later, song Xintong sent the watermelon to Lu Yunkai's study. "It's always hanging in the well. It's very sweet. Try it quickly."
"Did you eat?" Lu Yunkai touched the cool watermelon skin and said with disapproval.
"A little bit." Song Xintong sat down on the chair and said, "I've told Zhuanghe to do it. Which guests do you want to invite?"
"All of you in the Imperial Academy, there are also some scholars who are close to each other, and the Jiang family." Lu Yunkai looked at the list he had written and handed it to song Xintong? Do you want someone else? "
"I'd like to invite some ladies from June lane. They helped us a lot when we were there before." Song Xintong paused. "It seems that their children are also studying in the Academy. Maybe in two years you will be officials of the same Dynasty."
"Write it down."
Song Xintong looked at the list again, "do you want to invite Mr. Wei?"
"Mr. Wei is out of Beijing. He should not return to Beijing before the end of the year." Lu Yunkai closed the list and said, "that's all. No matter how much, the emperor thought I was ganging up for personal gains."
"Well, listen to my husband."
On this day, a lot of people came to the banquet, drinking and cheering.
At the end of the banquet, the prince also sent his entourage to send a housewarming gift. Whether it was sent by Prince Wei or the prince, in the eyes of many adults, it was the prince's Royal Highness's attention to Lu's compilation. Since then, you have paid more attention to Lu Yunkai.
Jiang Mingzhao patted Lu Yunkai on the shoulder. "Congratulations."
Lu Yunkai understood what he meant and was valued by the crown prince. He laughed and said, "we are all happy."
The Jiang family has been chosen as the emperor merchant this year, and their business is booming and their wealth is constantly flowing.
Two people understand each other a smile, carrying wine, drink.
