Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 107

At the dinner table, he directly told Uncle Cao that he planned to buy a few servants, and was worried that Uncle Cao would think too much, so he explained his thoughts.

Unexpectedly, it was Cao Bo who interrupted him.

Old tears flowed across his face: "My lord, you finally remembered this matter. Your lord is now a third-rank official, and it is really too shabby now."

Uncle Chen Yi blushed at these words.

I haven't felt anything yet, but looking at it now, it seems that there is really a little bit.

Not to mention the house, it’s just this big, and the yard is quite spacious, even if five or six people live in it, it’s enough to live in, but there are too few people.

For example, the gatekeeper, the kitchen, and even the cleaning are all done by Uncle Cao alone.

Chen Yi suddenly felt that he seemed a bit like Zhou Papi, the kind of boss who squeezed his employees.

Some time ago, the Empress’ last salary hadn’t been used up yet. Chen Yi was usually frugal, and basically didn’t have much to spend money on, except, of course, when he was researching machines.

But this month's salary is enough to buy a few people.

Chen Yi did it when he thought of it, and immediately greeted Cao Bo, planning to take Cao Bo to see each other.

But right after Renzhi finished packing, before he could leave the house, he heard a knock on the door from the front yard. Chen Yi didn't know who it was, so he exchanged glances with Uncle Cao, and Uncle Cao immediately walked forward go.

This embarrassing scene made Chen Yi more urgent to buy manpower.

Uncle Cao was a housekeeper after all, and even asked the housekeeper to open the door. Chen Yi knocked himself on the head, but he hadn't been thinking about it during this time.

Chen Yi looked up and saw Uncle Cao leading a person in. This person was none other than Lin Shilang.

Lin Shilang smiled brightly, not treating himself as an outsider at all.

"Chen Shilang, it's really hard to find your place. There's not even a plaque. It took me a long time to find your place."

Hearing this, Chen Yi remembered, yes, his house didn't even have a plaque, and there was a wry smile on Shuran's face, he didn't know how he was living after being here for so long.

This is simply too poor, and it is not like this in modern times.

Lin Shilang took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, then looked up at Chen Yi who had been silent all this time, and paused for a moment.

Then with a hint of apology: "I, don't be angry, I didn't mean that, I just said it casually, of course I know that you are dedicated to serving the people, so you must be an upright official."

Chen Yi smiled and shook his head.

"Don't worry, I don't blame you. It's just that I'm aware of the problem now. I just thought about buying some servants. After all, this yard is just the two of us. It's not suitable for colleagues to come and go in the future."

Lin Shilang raised his head, looked around, nodded, and asked curiously: "You want to buy some servants, don't you?"

Chen Yi nodded, and suddenly realized.

Lin Shilang's family belongs to generations of meritorious service, and there is still a title to inherit.

The people after this time must have a special source. If I go to buy people casually, I don’t know the twists and turns, and I may not be able to choose well.

"What did you do when you came to me today?" Chen Yi didn't express his thoughts directly, but asked tentatively.

Lin Shilang laughed: "Needless to say, of course I asked you to go out to visit the Suihan Gathering, and now I can choose those who are interested to see it, how about it?"

A smile appeared on Chen Yi's face.

"This Suihan gathering, we can let it go first, how about you pick some servants for me? I don't know anything, and I don't have mature people. You must know more about this than me. How about it?"

There was a hint of surprise on Lin Shilang's face, as if he couldn't believe it.

"You want me to pick someone for you? Are you sure?" The smile on Lin Shilang's face faded and he became serious.

Chen Yi nodded affirmatively.

For a moment, Lin Shilang didn't know if Chen Yi was testing him, or if he really didn't understand.

Lin Shilang looked at Chen Yi's bewildered face, and decided to ask.

"This servant is usually selected by the master himself. This servant is your subordinate. Generally, the ministers of the court are very active in this matter, fearing that other people will put people in their hands."

Chen Yi suddenly realized, yes, there is still this problem, he just said, why does Lin Shilang have a weird face?

Chen Yi was very frank and raised his hand.

"Look at my family, how many people are there? Who do you think will arrange the manpower, even if manpower is arranged? It's useless, I don't see you all day long, but if there is any trouble, I will definitely be caught on the spot."

Hearing what Chen Yi said, Lin Shilang looked around again, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Don't say it's really true, then how about this, you go home with me, ask the mother in charge of the business at home, and ask her to introduce you to a matchmaker, and you can just go to see the matchmaker when the time comes."

Chen Yi thought about it, and felt that this was fine, after all, he just lacked channels.

After the two of them made up their minds, they packed up and left the house.

Of course, it was inappropriate for Cao Bo to follow him this time, so he was not brought along.

Lin Shilang led Chen Yi to walk on the streets of the capital, along the avenue, turned a few turns, and stopped in front of a family.

Chen Yi looked up and saw the plaque on it: Lin Mansion.

The courtyard of Chen Yi's house has red walls and gray tiles. Just looking at the front of the house, it is magnificent. It is not comparable to his small concierge. Chen Yi did not hesitate to praise it.

Lin Shilang was a little embarrassed, but seeing Chen Yi's seriousness, he didn't feel any jealousy or envy, just pure appreciation, and he admired Lin Shilang even more in his heart.

After opening the door, he saw that it was his young master. He just went out, why did he come back again?

Before he could say anything, he heard the young master's order, and then went to look for it, and the nanny who bought the servant talked back, and then took Chen Yi to meet the elders in the family, but Father Lin was not in the mansion.

After Chen Yi met the elder, Lin Shilang took him back to his residence.

As soon as Chen Yi sat down, he saw the young servant leading a nanny in, and the nanny looked dazed at the beginning.

After hearing what Lin Shilang said, a smile bloomed on her face, and she turned her head to make arrangements for this matter, wrapped in her tone.

It has to be said that Lin Shilang was in the middle of the match, and his efficiency was not so high.

Not long after, the two had just chatted a few words, and the nanny came back again, saying that she was taking them to the toothmaid's place.

It could have been brought home, but Chen Yi wanted to buy someone, and he had to send it back when the time came. It was really troublesome, so it was better to go directly to the matchmaker to buy it and send it to the house.

Chen Yi naturally responded happily, and saw a carriage as soon as he went out.

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment. To be honest, he felt a pain in his ass when he saw the carriage now.
