Strange love across time and space

Phantom looked at Su Qing with doting eyes from the side, and did not feel that Su Qing's behavior was out of the ordinary, if Su Qing was kissing her. . . Ahem, what are you thinking about? Phantom quickly turned his head and pretended to look at the scenery to hide the embarrassment caused by his previous thoughts.

After visiting the mansion, the young eunuch said to everyone, "Since the Lord and Madam have chosen an auspicious day to move, they must prepare quickly. Now that Master Su has reached the third rank of official residence, and Miss Su has made a contribution to the rescue, there will definitely be many noble people after the move is completed." I came to congratulate you. You are very busy now. I will not disturb Mr. Su’s family.” He handed a bunch of keys to Su Qixuan and said, “These are the keys to the house. Please keep them. My mission has been completed. I will retire.” !”

After Su Qixuan's family sent the little eunuch away, they looked back at me and I couldn't help but laugh. When it comes to this housekeeper, we still have to look at Jiang. After Jiang came back, she immediately arranged tasks for all the servants. First, she asked Granny Lin to invite Ren Yazi. She had to choose some capable servants. The mansion was too big. At present, these few people are far from enough. In the past, their family only bought people one by one, and they were too lazy to come to the door. Now, when Ren Yazi heard that the Su family wanted to buy more than thirty servants at once, he was like the God of Wealth. The master arrived, and soon a large group of people came. They lined up in several lines for the masters of the Su family to choose. Jiang asked Su Qing to choose first, "Qingqing, after we move, your yard will be It's too big to rely on Qingzhu and Xiu'er alone. You can pick a few more that are pleasing to the eye." Although Su Qing disagreed with the legality of human trafficking in this era, she knew that she could not change it and could only abide by this era. the rule of. She then selected four rough servant girls and two second-class girls. Su Qixuan and Su Rui had no qualifications to choose anyone. Jiang made the decision himself. Su Rui only had one servant, Ajian, by his side before. This time, he chose two rough girls and two second-class girls for his courtyard. A boy took turns with Ajian. Jiang's own courtyard also added four rough servant girls and four second-class girls, and added a boy and stone wheel to Su Qixuan. In addition, two gardeners were selected to take care of the flowers, plants and trees in the house, two cooks and four kitchen handymen, two janitors and two sweepers. Finally, there was a need for a housekeeper. When Renyazi saw that the Su family had bought more than thirty servants this time, he was so happy that he could not close his mouth. He quickly told Jiang that he had suitable people there and could bring them to him right away. When Jiang saw it, he asked him to go back and take the people with him. That man Yazi kept the servants chosen by the Su family and left quickly with the ones he didn't choose.

Taking advantage of this free time, Mrs. Jiang asked Nanny Lin to take these people to pack their belongings for moving the day after tomorrow. She also told these people to go to their new homes to live in the evening, and asked Nanny Lin to allocate accommodation to them. They also recruited Su Rui's servant Ajian to order a new plaque. At this time, Su Qing came over and said to Jiang, "Mom, the money for buying this person should come from the gold rewarded by the emperor. My daughter also wants to make some contribution to the family." Jiang glared at her and said, " None of these people together can afford a piece of gold, so you should keep the gold and pawn it for you later..." She wanted to say that it would be used as a dowry for you in the future, but thinking about her daughter's decision, she changed her words and said, "In the future, it will be used as an emergency. Your filial mother knows that she still has money here, and she will ask you for it when she doesn't have enough." After saying that, she patted Su Qing's hand and said, "Hurry back to the house and pack the things you want to take away." Su Qing said heartily. I was so moved that I didn't insist anymore and took Phantom and Qingzhu back to the yard.

Back in her yard, Su Qing happily asked Qingzhu and Xiuer to quickly pack everything except the things they would use in the past two days. Then he smiled and said to Phantom, "When we move here, I will arrange a separate room for you!" Phantom laughed, "Thank you in advance, Miss!"

When it was time to have dinner, Ren Yazi came to the door with two older men. He told Jiang that these two men were good housekeepers and let Jiang choose. Jiang asked others to follow suit. After all, the position of a housekeeper is very important. He must be loyal, discerning, and understand the etiquette of a large family. In the past, there were housekeepers in aristocratic families who could not withstand the temptation of money, colluded with others, cooperated inside and outside, and finally harmed everyone in the house.

Su Qing saw that both men were in their thirties or forties. The first man was of medium build, slightly fat, and always had a smile on his face. When Jiang asked him something, he nodded and bowed in reply. To be honest, Su Qing doesn't like this kind of flattery. The second man was also of medium height and well-proportioned, with a decent smile on his face and an expression that was neither humble nor arrogant. After asking, Jiang found out that the man's name was Li Zhong, who was thirty-eight years old. He had previously been a businessman and opened several shops involving tea, restaurants, and cloth. Later, his colleagues framed the whole family and sent them to a prison cell. His wife was too weak to bear the dark and humid environment in the cell and died of illness. Only he and his son were left. Li Zhong's son Li Qiang is seventeen years old and has been in prison with his father for two years. After they came out, the father and son were penniless. No matter where they went to work, people refused to accept them when they heard that they had been in prison. In desperation, the father and son sold themselves to Ren Yazi. I heard today that Ren Yazi wanted to sell them to a wealthy family as pawns. The housekeeper, Li Zhong, was very happy and wanted to take his son with him, but unfortunately, Li Qiang was infected with wind and cold in the past two days, and Ren Yazi did not agree because he was afraid that the illness would be passed on to the nobleman. Li Zhong hoped that if he could be selected, he would ask the master's family to take over his son after he had established a foothold in the family.

Su Qing felt that the man named Li Zhong was relatively reliable. At this time, the phantom behind him stepped forward and whispered to Su Qing, "The first man's heartbeat was very fast when he spoke. I'm afraid there is something wrong in his words. This Li Zhong's heartbeat was beating when he spoke." Smooth, showing magnanimity." After hearing this, Su Qing turned around and asked, "Can you hear their heartbeats." Phantom nodded. Su Qing was so impressed that she gave him a thumbs up behind her back, and Phantom was very happy when she saw it.

Su Qing leaned close to Jiang's ear and said to her, "Mother, I think this Li Zhong is okay." Jiang nodded and said, "Mother thinks so too." Then she pointed at Li Zhong and said to Ren Yazi, "Just him! Still. Yes, he will bring his son here when he recovers. Both father and son will be part of the Su family." Ren Yazi quickly nodded and agreed. Li Zhong kowtowed excitedly after hearing this. Jiang asked Nanny Lin to pay the money, and Ren Yazi took out the deeds of prostitution of these people and handed them to Jiang with both hands. She smiled and said that if you have anything else to do in the house, just give her orders, and left with the fat man.

After Mrs. Jiang put away the stack of deeds, she took out five taels of silver and gave it to Li Zhong and said, "Take this money and get some medicine for your son. He will be cured quickly and come to the house for duty." Li Zhong took it with trembling hands. Yin Zi knelt down and kowtowed again. Because in Renyazi, people who are sick can only live with it, and Renyazi will not pay for them to buy medicine. Li Zhong accepted the money and immediately said he would come back immediately after grabbing medicine for his son.
