Mother Wang called the servants into the yard and told He Feng in detail.

"Second Miss, there are nine slaves in total, including two dolls, both of which the lady has chosen for you."

"Among them, He Dachun knows how to drive a carriage. He was a steward in the mansion before."

"He Dachun's wife, and his daughter-in-law Mrs. Lin, used to do some needlework in the lady's courtyard."

"He Dachun's son Helin used to help the master run errands and also do some menial work."

After Mrs. Wang introduced He Dachun's family, she paused and then pointed at the women.

"This is the cook in the house. The sauced pork elbows that you liked most, Miss Second Lady, were made by this cook. Madam asked me to bring her along with me."

"These two women used to work as roughnecks in the inner courtyard, and they are also quick with their hands and feet. Madam asked them to come over and help you, so that you can feel more relaxed."

Hefeng was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear after listening to Mrs. Wang's introduction.

I was even more surprised when I looked at the thick slave documents handed over by Mother Wang.

Unexpectedly, she originally only wanted a servant who could drive a carriage and two rough servants, but her mother-in-law, Mrs. He, actually gave her nine! Nine slaves!

Although there are two small ones, the number of people eating is nine!

He Feng had a headache. How to accommodate so many people was a problem.

She pointed at them and said, "Mother Wang, how much money did they give out in the mansion before?"

Mother Wang smiled and said: "Second Miss, their Mrs. Yueyin asked me to make a list and put it in the box."

Mother Wang handed the box she carried with her to Hefeng.

He Feng opened the box, took a look, and knew what was going on.

In the box, in addition to the monthly silver list, there was also a reply letter written by Mrs. He to her. Under the letter, there was even a thick stack of silver notes.

He Feng couldn't help but laugh. Is her mother really worried that she can't afford these people's money?

"Okay, thank you, Mother Wang. Let me arrange a place for them."

Fortunately, when the Lu family built their house before, they built it big enough. With so many people now squeezing in, it can barely fit in.

If there were more, there would really be no place to live.

After their accommodation has been arranged, Mrs. Wang will leave.

Before leaving, Mrs. Wang said again: "Second Miss, Madam is now helping to find a reliable stable woman. It may take some time. When there is news, I will ask someone to bring you a message."

He Feng smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood, and then sent Mrs. Wang out.

After Wang's mother left, He Feng hurriedly went to Gu Yunxi and asked her how to arrange these slaves.

Gu Yunxi also didn't expect that his grandmother would give it to so many people at once. He originally thought it was only three or four!

However, since everyone has already given, it is not easy to refuse anymore.

"Mom, do you think this will work? He Dachun knows how to drive a carriage. Let him be responsible for raising horses and driving carriages from now on."

"His son Helin, I think he will just follow our father and do things according to his instructions."

"Since He Dachun's wife and daughter-in-law know how to sew, I will just leave the sewing work at home to them in the future."

"In addition, the cook will help you and be responsible for three meals a day for our family and theirs."

"Two sturdy women are responsible for cleaning, washing and other menial tasks at home."

"For the two younger ones, just let them play, or see if An An needs a bookboy and let them follow An An."

He Feng was very satisfied with Gu Yunxi's arrangement, and she directly agreed: "Okay, let's leave it like this!"

After saying that, He Feng went out directly, called them together, and told them the arrangements.

The slaves all nodded, indicating that they would do a good job.

Gu Yunxi sat and said with a smile: "Although grandma transferred you here from Fucheng, our Lu family is not a place that cannibalize people. As long as you work well here, if you have it in Hefu, we will have it here too."

"As long as you do well, you will be rewarded. How much moon silver did you have in He Mansion before? It's the same here."

When the servants heard this, their faces showed joy.

Originally, they thought that after coming to a remote place like the Lu family, there would really be no hope and there would be no money left.

I really didn’t expect that the young lady of the Lu family could make such a promise!

They all wanted to say thank you, and then heard Gu Yunxi continue: "But if you dare to cheat, deceive the master, and eat the inside and outside, then I'm sorry, our Lu family can't tolerate you."

Everyone was so frightened by Gu Yunxi's aura that they didn't dare to look up at her.

If they hadn't asked about this young lady of the Lu family on the way here, they would have thought that the young lady came from a wealthy family!

The grandeur and the way she speaks clearly look like Mrs. He!

"Young Madam, we must do our duty and will never do anything that betrays the Lord!"

"Yes! Madam, madam, we must do our best."

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, which made Gu Yunxi and He Feng very satisfied.

He Feng ordered: "Okay, you have had a hard time traveling today. You will rest today and start early tomorrow morning to perform your duties."

After everyone dispersed, He Feng went to the kitchen to work again. After all, there were so many people today and they had to eat!

For these slaves who came out of the mansion, Mrs. He had made it very clear in her letter that the slaves would not eat with their masters.

Mrs. He thought for a while, moved another table out of the warehouse, and placed it in an empty room next to the kitchen.

In this way, it will be regarded as their special place to eat from now on.

After everything was settled, Hefeng started cooking.

However, she had just started to prepare the dishes when she saw Mrs. Huang, the cook, arriving.

He Feng was a little surprised: "Didn't I just tell you to settle down first? We can start working again tomorrow."

Mrs. Huang smiled and helped wash the vegetables: "Madam, this old slave has been working in the house for many years. If so, please let me help you."

"I don't have anything to settle in. It's just a few clothes and bedding. Madam, you have prepared them all, so it's nothing."

Seeing that she persisted, He Feng let her go.

While He Feng and the cook Mrs. Huang were busy in the kitchen, He Dachun had already asked Father Lu to take him, park the carriage that came from Fucheng, and lead the matching horse to the manger.

"Sir, the horse that came from Fucheng was chosen by Madam herself. It has a stable temperament and can be controlled by ordinary people." He Dachun introduced it to Father Lu attentively.

Father Lu smiled and touched the horse, but the horse just flicked its tail.

"Not bad! My mother-in-law is really thoughtful!" Father Lu was sincerely grateful.

Mrs. He really has nothing to say about the Lu family. Speaking of it, their family owes the Yue family a lot.

The two families were too far apart. Even if Feng'er wanted to spend more time with her two elders, she didn't have much free time to do so.

Feng'er said before that she wanted to buy a house in Fucheng. It seems that this matter should be put on the agenda.
