Every servant arranged by Mrs. Shi Lang for Pei Qi is useful and has his own good side.

After these people arrived at the Zhao Mansion, because Pei Qi never thought about arranging them, except for the cook who robbed the Zhao Mansion's mother-in-law's cooking job on the second day of their marriage, none of them had serious errands yet.Either idle and wait for the master to arrange, or do whatever job you see.

"You think it's better to have a few people cooking in the kitchen," Zhao Shutong said.

Pei Qi glanced at Zhao Shutong and said uncertainly, "Two or three?"

"Then let's have three. The cook you brought is so good at cooking for the master. The woman I bought at the beginning cooks for the servants. How about picking a young daughter-in-law to wash vegetables for them?" .” Zhao Shutong said.

"Listen to you, master."

"The hot water can't be cut off on weekdays, and we need to arrange another maid who boils the water. The maids I bought originally did the job of boiling water, but they are young and have little strength. They boil water or scoop hot water. You need someone to help you all the time, change to an older servant on your side."

"Well, master, you are right." Pei Qi echoed.

"Buying ingredients, you want to arrange a few people to do this." Zhao Shutong continued.

"Uh... two people?"

"Let's choose one person for the time being. We can't finish the output of rice and noodles on the Zhuangzi, so let the Zhuangzi give it away and don't have to buy it. The buyer is responsible for buying seasonings, spices, fresh meat and vegetables, as well as firewood. Leave the matter to him too." Zhao Shutong said.

"Yeah." Pei Qi nodded, "Then it's better to be alone."

"Who do you think is suitable?"

Pei Qi stared at the servant list for a long time, "This Linxi is young and mature, so it's more appropriate to entrust this kind of hard work to him."

"Okay, how about setting up a sewing room?"

"This, I want it." Pei Qi said, "Mother gave me a little daughter-in-law who is good at sewing, she seems to be this Linxi's wife, I promised my master to be filial to my father, and I will make a set of clothes for him every month The master and I also want to add more clothes, let's set up a sewing room, and let this little lady make clothes for us in the future, and she doesn't need to do anything else."

"Then let's say, how many people do you plan to arrange?"

"Two is enough, there are only three of us in the house." Pei Qi counted his fingers and said.

"What kind of people do you want to arrange for these two people?"

"Of course it's good at sewing."

Zhao Shutong asked again, "What else?"

"What else is there?" Pei Qi asked puzzled. The clothes maker naturally had to arrange for the sewing, so it would be fine to let the two best sewing people do the clothes.

Zhao Shutong patiently explained to Pei Qi, "Qiqi, your clothes can be made by those little daughter-in-laws and husbands, but my father and I are both grown men, so it's not good to leave them with the close-fitting clothes. Please ask Xixi to arrange for an elderly nanny."

Pei Qi suddenly realized, and made a decision directly, "So that's the case, then there is a little daughter-in-law and a nanny."

At the same time, Pei Qi silently made up his mind that from now on, the old mothers will make all the clothes for the master, and he must not give the master the opportunity to wear clothes made by young ladies and daughter-in-laws.

Heh heh, he doesn't know how to do it, and he won't let his wife wear it with a little daughter-in-law who knows how to do it.

Zhao Shutong pulled Pei Qi to discuss each errand one by one, and it took half a day for these people's arrangements to roughly take shape.While discussing with Pei Qi, Zhao Shutong also wrote down the results of the two people's discussions.

Then Zhao Shutong handed the personnel arrangement form just now to Pei Qi, "I'm not very proficient in inner house management, and some of the arrangements we discussed may be unreasonable. You can discuss it with Madam Zeng again, and discuss some of them. Adjust the personnel arrangement."

"Do it again? Let Mammy figure it out for herself." Pei Qi said in a broken voice. Just now, in order to be able to answer his master's question, he racked his brains and thought so hard.Do it again and he's going to throw up.

He has worked very hard, how could the master not let him go.

Zhao Shutong interrupted Pei Qi's next words that he wanted to evade, "Well done, there will be rewards, you can do whatever you want."

Pei Qi rolled his eyes, he really wanted to ask his master something.Thinking of this, Pei Qi cheered up, reluctantly put back the reluctance on his face, and asked Zhao Shutong in a low voice, "Then I want two hundred catties of sweet potatoes, master, do you have any?"

Pei Qi knew that sweet potatoes were still very precious, so when he made a request, he seemed a little lacking in confidence.

"What do you want so many sweet potatoes for?" Zhao Shutong asked. The sweet potatoes in Shitai Village are about to mature. He, who provided the sweet potatoes for the villagers to grow seedlings, can get a lot of them, but he can even out two hundred catties To Pei Qi.It's just that Pei Qi asked him all of a sudden that he wanted so many sweet potatoes, so Zhao Shutong naturally wanted to ask what Pei Qi wanted these sweet potatoes for.

Zhao Shutong actually wondered if someone had tricked Pei Qi in order to get the sweet potatoes earlier for profit, but Pei Qi had been preparing for marriage this month and had no contact with anyone outside. Zhao Shutong couldn't think of a suspicious candidate for a while. .

"Xu Wenlan is going back to the northwest. I'll see him off the day after tomorrow. I want to bring him some sweet potatoes." Pei Qi said.

"Is he short of food?" Zhao Shutong asked.

"Of course he's missing in the northwest." Pei Qi said angrily.

"Ning'anhou's mansion has been stationed at the border between Daqi and Qiang people for the past 30 years. At the beginning of the severe drought in the northwest, the officials did not delay Ning'anhou's military rations. Therefore Xu Wenlan said that Ning'anhou was in a severe drought in the northwest In the first year, he thought it was an ordinary small natural disaster, and it would get better in the second year. When the drought affected the camp where Ning Anhou was stationed in the second year, he distributed part of the military rations to some people near the camp. People, let the soldiers plow the fields with the people to get food, but because there is little rain, there is almost no harvest. The soldiers starve together with the people, and the people can flee to find a way out, but if the soldiers run away, they are deserters, and they want to kill Xu Wenlan said that if the imperial court hadn’t sent people to deliver food in time, the army might have suppressed a wave of mutiny first and many people would have died.”

"Although the master has found sweet potatoes with high yields, sweet potatoes are very scarce now. The one thousand catties of sweet potatoes distributed by His Majesty to each of the four disaster-stricken provinces is only enough for two or three villages to grow, which is a drop in the bucket for a province. When Wenlan first came back, he lost a lot of weight, and I couldn’t bear to ask him how much he had suffered. I was afraid that Xu Wenlan would be hungry after he went back, so I wanted to give him some sweet potatoes, and asked him to plant the sweet potatoes when he went back. , I won’t be afraid of going hungry next year.”

Seeing that Pei Qi was willing to do these disliked things for his friends, Zhao Shutong greatly praised Pei Qi, "If I had a friend like you, Qi Qi, in my life, I would die without regret. Open your mouth, I naturally don't have the heart to let you down, I will send someone back to Shitai Village to find my father to ask for sweet potatoes tomorrow, our family only keeps ten catties of sweet potato seedlings, and the rest can be given to your friends."

"Really, Master, you are so kind." Pei Qi stood up joyfully, and put his arms around Zhao Shutong's neck across the desk, "I'll go find Madam Zeng right now."

Zhao Shutong hugged his waist and stopped him, "Wait, why worry, sweet potato can't run away, I haven't finished my words yet."

"Isn't the servant all arranged?" Pei Qi blinked.

"There is one more thing I want to make clear to you. When Zhao Gui comes back, I will ask him to buy two more nursing homes. You brought more servants than our mansion. In order to avoid They will form a group of slaves to bully the master in the future, or if I can't control them, I want to prepare a few thugs at home. This is not to guard against you. You are very particular about whether the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. Yes, the servants are also watching the dishes. It is also for the balance in our yard not to let your people dominate." Zhao Shutong said.

"I know you don't care about these things. Actually, I don't need to tell you these things, but you are the other man in the family. I hope you can participate in everything in our family." Zhao Shutong said.

Zhao Shutong's earnestness and earnestness in this phrase, especially like when he was teaching in the Minister's Mansion, he explained to him the words of the sages in the Analects of Confucius and Mencius in a serious manner, exudes a sacred atmosphere, which makes people dare not offend at will. Interrupted, Pei Qi spontaneously developed a kind of respect for the teacher to Zhao Shutong, and said very seriously, "Master, Qiqi knows that what you said is right, if you want to buy a nursing home, then buy it, if you don't have enough money , Qiqi is here."

"I still have this little money, and you don't need to pay it." Zhao Shutong took out 200 taels of silver notes from a book and solemnly handed it to Pei Qi.

"The family's money is almost spent on buying a house, buying land, and holding weddings. The rest can be used for household use. If we live frugally, it will be enough for us to eat for a year or so. At that time, I should have an errand. How to spend it? , it's up to you, Qiqi, if you don't have enough money and you use it up, you can set up another account book, and I will make it up for you as soon as I have it in the future."

"Master, there is no need to write another account book, I can support you." Pei Qi said generously.At the beginning, Pei Han said that the wife's money was used to buy land, house and property, and let the teacher eat his clothes and wear his clothes, and then the teacher would not dare to treat him badly in the future. Pei Qi still wrote it down.

"Then shall I make a bow to thank you, Qiqi?"

"That's unnecessary." Pei Qi said shyly.

"If the money is not in hand, I will naturally not be polite to you when you need Xiqi's generosity." Zhao Shutong is more calm about this point. Pei Qi is richer than him now, and he will be more or less fond of Pei Qi Light, there is nothing that cannot be admitted, "It's just that the money is spent, no matter why it is used or where it is used, the items must be clear. If I am uneasy and kind, I will ask you to take some today and borrow some tomorrow. You don't remember it yourself. You don’t have a clue, you don’t even know when I cheated you out of all your money.”

"Master, I believe you are not such a person." Pei Qi said firmly.

Zhao Shutong really couldn't believe Pei Qi's vision. He didn't lie to Pei Qi, but he was also afraid that Pei Qi would be deceived by others in the future. Let's keep this account in writing. It's clear in black and white. Write it down and wait until you find out that you have paid too much. If you didn't get the corresponding return, Pei Qi might be able to wake up a little bit, "I'm just giving you an example. I asked you to keep accounts to let you know."

With rewards, and being able to help his friends, Pei Qi was not so reluctant when he discussed with Madam Zeng how to arrange his dowry.Nanny Zeng used to toil in the palace for decades. Before she went to Pei Qi's house to teach Pei Qi, she went to the mansions of many high-ranking officials and nobles to teach their brothers and sisters. Naturally, she handles inner house affairs better than Pei Qi, who doesn't know anything. Zhao Shu Tong, a layman, is proficient, so she adjusted the irrationality of the personnel arrangements arranged by these two laymen, and then asked Bai Ling to notify them one by one.

Nanny Zeng thought it was unreasonable for my uncle to let Zhao Gui, a nephew, be the housekeeper. The housekeeper had to take care of the outer house for the master, and he had a lot of power and access to property. To prevent him from doing something against the master if he gets too big, it will be difficult to deal with it at that time.Madam Zeng's idea is that it is enough for Zhao Gui to be a steward in the mansion, or as a close friend to help the uncle manage the property outside.But looking back, the Zhao family is poor now, except for the [-] mu of medium-sized land, the public doesn't even have any money, so there is no rush at all.

Maybe, my uncle just asked his nephew to help the mansion for a while, and the mansion will have a future in the future, maybe there may be better arrangements for his nephew.

Nanny Zeng didn't doubt that Zhao Shutong would have a bright future. Zhao Shutong had discovered sweet potatoes and was the son-in-law of the servant's mansion.

"Pei Xiaoqi, I didn't make friends with you in vain, you are very loyal." Before Xu Wenlan left, he never expected to receive such a big gift from Pei Qi.

This time, Pei Qi bid farewell to Xu Wenlan. In addition to asking for 210 pounds of sweet potatoes from Zhao Shutong, he also prepared a lot of medicinal materials from the capital for Xu Wenlan. Xu Wenlan copied a copy, it can be said that he was heartbroken for this friend.But Xu Wenlan was able to come back from the frontiers in great danger for him to get married, and he could also learn some things he didn't like in order to make Xu Wenlan's life in the northwest easier.

Pei Qi raised his chin proudly, "Which one of us is with the other, I have sweet potatoes to eat, so I can't make you hungry."

"Look at you, you have a pretty good life after getting married."

Hearing what Xu Wenlan said, Pei Qi's little face immediately collapsed, "It's okay, it would be even better if you don't need to continue studying with the nanny. When you are at home, your parents are urging you to learn, and when you are married, your wife will start again. Remind me, I don’t even give you a birthday gift if you don’t learn. Go back to your mother’s house to play, before you say a few words, mother starts nagging you to listen to Zeng Nanny and learn from Zeng Nanny.”

Xu Wenlan was amused by Pei Qi and laughed heartily, "Hahaha, Pei Xiaoqi, you have done too many sins in the first half of your life, and now you are getting retribution."

"Hmph, I'm grown up and married, and it's time for me to do what adults do." Pei Qi argued.

"Whatever you say, anyway, you have to study first before you can become an adult, hahaha, you really amuse me to death. I can't spend your birthday with you, so I wish you get out of the sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible." Xu asked Lan smiled.

"That's a good word from you."
