"No, I won't force you. I'll go handle it for my great-aunt. As long as she's happy, I'll call you whenever I want!" How could Bai Yunfei not say something? Unless he never appeared in this courtyard again.

"That's more like it, thank you big brother." Little Satisfied, she nodded.

Bai Yunfei turned around. Just as he raised his foot, he suddenly turned around and asked, "What do you mean by NO?"

"It's just that I can't, I can't, I can't …" Meaning, clear... "It's gone white?" Little Jun explained with an innocent expression, blinking his big watery eyes.

"Your family's dialect?" Bai Yunfei continued to ask curiously.

Xiaoxiao nodded and continued to stare at him with her big eyes.

Bai Yunfei satisfyingly made a 'thank you' gesture, turned around and walked towards the door, his mouth constantly repeating 'dialect' to prevent himself from forgetting it again.

She proudly clapped her hands and inadvertently saw Laifu secretly hiding behind a bookshelf. It was hard to tell if the expression on his face was one of sadness or joy.

Eyes wandering, she grabbed a handful of her sister-in-law and threw it onto the bookshelf. He was so frightened that he sat down on the ground. The chair didn't even hit his head, but it hit his foot instead. It hurt so much that he grabbed it and screamed.

"You can gossip, but you definitely can't use the matters of the mansion to gossip. Remember, if there's no next time, I'll definitely throw you out! " Xiaoxiao didn't really like people who liked to cause trouble. Laifu was a woman, and there was a high chance that the source of all the chattering in the house came from this little brat's mouth.

Laifu hurriedly got up and kneeled down. He wanted to kowtow, but when he remembered that his master didn't like to see his servants kowtow, he could only kneel down obediently. Ye Zichen looked on helplessly as Master walked past him and headed into the room.

Another ten days passed in the blink of an eye. This time, Xiaoxiao was truly ready. She didn't even need the east wind anymore. The shopkeeper had come to his door to be the housekeeper of the Walkabout Residence. He had clearly calculated the wages of all the servants and guards, as well as the places where they needed money, from top to bottom and from inside and outside.

Early in the morning, Lu Liu appeared in front of Xiaoxiao with the account book that he had painstakingly made. He respectfully placed the account book on the table and stepped aside.

"Sit down!" Xiaoxiao lazily sipped on her tea as she read the names of the herbs that had been given to her by Wang Chao and Lai Fu for the past two days.

"Yes sir!" Lu Liu replied, but he was still not used to breaking his fingers.

He had served so many masters, yet none of them had been as amiable as this one. He was not used to it. Besides, he had been busy with the accounting for the past two days, and had not slept more than four hours every day.

"Sixth Uncle, take a seat!"

Lu Liu didn't respond, so he put down the things in his hand and poured him a cup of hot tea.

"This... How can this be acceptable to this little one! " Lu Liu stood up again as he spoke.

"Sit down, sit down, there are no outsiders here now. Like I said, a small thing like you being the housekeeper, or an uncle. Uncle, remember this. This is our home, so why are you being so courteous here? " Little Ping pretended to be angry as he pouted.

Sixth Uncle had already been here for three days, and he was still as polite as ever, making it impossible for people to get close to him. She didn't like this feeling. In the orphanage before, although he was very poor, everyone was very considerate. Now that she had the money, she wanted to get back that feeling of familiarity.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Master is too polite. " Lu Liu was a bit embarrassed by his words. He honestly lowered his head and handed the account book on the table to his mistress with both hands.

He flipped to the last page and threw it onto the table. He said with great trust, "Alright, thank you!"

"Mistress, aren't you going to look at the details?" It was the first time that Lu Liu saw his boss looking at his account book like this. Moreover, they had only known each other for a few days, yet they had already trusted each other so much.

Lu Liu was surprised. He slowly drank a cup of tea and said, "I don't suspect anyone. I don't suspect anyone. This is my way of using people."

She didn't have a high degree, but she had been in a big company for a few years. Clever as she was, she quickly learned some of the basic operations of large companies and the basics of their servants. Talented people with good use, can definitely give the company a few cups of higher profits than expected.

In addition to the normal personnel arrangements, the welfare of the staff was more important. Only when there were no worries would the staff be able to work diligently and diligently. Therefore, she had always kept in mind that she hoped that one day, she too would be able to establish her own sect, and would definitely be able to use it well.

Who would have thought that despite not being able to do it in his previous life, he would have enough silver in his current life to allow his own affairs to flourish. Unfortunately, this era did not have any stocks or stock market, so all they could do was earn some money.

However, many people in this era did things in peace. Without the so-called job openings, it was relatively easier to manage their personnel.

So, in order for everyone to do their best to build her a castle of her own, she had drafted everything she had to do in her mind.

"Thank you! Thank you! This little one will definitely calculate the total accounts of the residence thoroughly. " Lu Liu was moved once again and understood the meaning of Master's words.

"Oh yes, bring your family over! Wangcai's mother also lives in the back courtyard, there's also someone to look after his like this. " Xiaoxiao had always wanted to ask about Lu Liu's family matters, but these past two days, he had been busy and had forgotten about this matter.

Lu Liu sighed at the mention of his family, his face full of worry. He shook his head sadly and his eyes reddened.

"How... What's wrong? "Sixth Uncle." Little Ben had meant well, but it seemed to touch Lu Liu's heart.

However, this was also good. Perhaps it would help him resolve his worries, and he would be able to stay at home and become a member of the family.

"I won't hide the truth from my master, I am a poor man. "My family is poor, my parents went early. It wasn't easy to find a girl who was willing to marry …" As he spoke, Lu Liu's tears began to fall.

This man was only thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, and looked like he was in his forties. All these years, he had been carrying the burden by himself, choking and completely paralyzing himself with the busy work area.

Seeing that he was able to find such a kind mistress, he wiped away his tears and told her his story. "I only married my mother about forty years old, but when I gave birth to her, she immediately left. As a man, I wouldn't bring a child with me. Fortunately, the aunty next door was nice, so I could only give the child to the aunt next door. "Who would've thought? This area has been around for five years, and I can only work day and night to provide living expenses for my aunt. I watched my child grow up by someone else's side, but …"

She cried when she heard this. She could feel the pity and loneliness of an orphan. That child is still young and doesn't understand. When he grows up and finds out that there is no maternal love, even paternal love would be reduced to such a pitiful state.

"Here, take it!" She took twenty taels of silver from her purse and pressed it into Lu Liu's hand.

"No, no, no! I can't, I can't! " Lu Liu wiped away his tears and returned the silver taels. He refused, "Master's wages are the highest in the entire city. How could I accept your silver taels?"

"What is this bit of silver worth?" When the master's business starts, I can give you guys several times the salary every month. Besides, it's not for you. The aunt who helped you take care of your child can be considered to have thanked her all these years for giving you ten taels of silver. The other ten silver, add some clothes for the child and yourself. " After thinking for a while, he continued, "Bring the baby here tonight. There are too many people, and many rooms in the back are empty. There are more than ten girls in the house. You can be at ease with them watching you do things."

"Thank you, Mistress!" "Thank you, Master. Lu Liu, for his whole life, has always been very filial to you. Please accept this little one's respect!" Lu Liu fell to his knees, kowtowing three times to the ground. Tears and snot ran down his face.

I can't take it!

No wonder many homes are made of wood, so this is for the convenience of kowtowing.

Down!

He patted his head and pulled Lu Liu up.

"Sixth Uncle, don't kowtow again. Master doesn't like this." At this time, Wang Cai who had just come back to report the situation ran into Lu Liu kowtowing and wanted to stop him. However, thinking about how kind her master was, she would definitely feel bad if she didn't kowtow twice. Therefore, he waited for his Sixth Uncle to finish kowtowing before entering.

"Wangcai is right, I don't like people kowtowing, our... We usually only kowtow to the dead. " He covered his mouth and said the taboo in his heart quietly.

"This... "This …" This time, Lu Liu was at a loss for words. He looked at Wang Cai, then at his master, and suddenly burst out laughing with tears flowing down his face.

Xiaoxiao also smiled, and asked Wangcai, "Where's Laifu?"

"They're all back. They're in the front courtyard." Wang Cai nodded as he spoke, only to see Lai Fu and Huang Shan walking over from the front yard with happy expressions on their faces.

When they entered the room, Laifu and Huang Shan only clasped their hands together and then Laifu spoke first, "Master, you have all the ingredients you want. Young Master Bai is already waiting in the restaurant for you to go pick the ingredients."

"Good!" "That's right, I'll be there in a while." Xiaoxiao nodded with great satisfaction, thinking that Bai Yunfei's efficiency was definitely not ordinary. However, whether it was of good quality or not required a bit of verification.

It was rather awkward, but when she saw Huang Shan anxiously waiting at the side, she patiently asked, "Huang Shan, what is your choice of guards?"

"Return... Master, Bai … Master Bai brought some people from the escort office, I … This lowly one will be waiting for Master to decide upon a candidate when I see that each of their martial arts skills is proficient. " Huang Shan tensed up and started stuttering again.

One had to know that for a person like him, not to mention choosing someone else, even they would feel lucky if someone picked him. Not to mention that his master had given him such a heavy task as choosing a guard academy, he was extremely worried that he would fail and lose face for everyone.

"Good!" "That's right." A small wish to give Huang Shan a satisfied smile.

After a while, she began to solemnly instruct the next task: "Laifu, you go with Sixth Uncle to fetch the baby and settle it down. Wangcai, Huangshan, you will follow me to the front yard now. Starting tomorrow, I want to do some training! "
