The road to becoming a god through the Red Mansions

After the figure of Mistress Li disappeared, Wang Gou'er asked in a low voice: "There are only five people in our family, do we need so many servant girls?"

Grandma Liu picked up the teacup and sipped it, and explained: "The yard is so big, someone has to sweep and clean it up. Is it for me or your wife? Besides, we still have that shop and a Zhuangzi, no Someone has to take care of it.”

Wang Gou'er didn't say anything after hearing this, he finally got rich, and he also wants his wife and children to live a good life for a few days, anyway, they have 2 taels of silver bills, a thousand mu of Zhuangzi, absolutely can't spend it all of.

"Let's take a look first and pick the one with a kind face. This person is here to serve you. You have to look at it and like it." Grandma Liu knew that Wang Gou'er was actually timid. Although he thought about getting promoted and getting rich before yesterday, But that was just an imagination, how could he have expected that he would really be able to make servants and servants so soon.

Seeing her son-in-law nodding to express his understanding, Grandma Liu couldn't say much about it in someone else's house, so she just made up her mind to take a look later.

Mistress Li moved quickly, bringing a bunch of people back in just one cup of tea, and they were all standing in the hallway waiting for the Wang family to choose.Wang Gouer and Grandma Liu, under the leadership of Mrs. Li, stood in front of the porch to check one by one. This was the first time their family chose a candidate, so they had to be careful.

The people brought by Mrs. Li included men and women, old and young. Among them, there were five members of the family, which caught Grandma Liu's attention.Grandma Li saw that Grandma Liu was staring at the family, and said winkingly: "These are a family, and they used to work in the official's house, but when something happened to the master's house, they were sent out." sold."

"The man in this family was originally the second steward of the mansion, who was responsible for ushering in and sending them off. The woman followed the wife who was in charge of the house, the daughter-in-law was a good hand at the stove, and the son went out with the men in the family. The girl is not very old, it is said that she hasn't worked in the mansion yet."

Grandma Liu was silent when she heard this, and this Mrs. Li looked at her expression and said: "This family is hard to find, everyone is very useful, even the youngest girl is already nine years old, and she can do it as soon as she enters the door." And the adults in his family are also capable, so you won’t suffer a loss if you buy it back.”

"I don't know who the original owner of his house is and what happened. Mrs. Li, to tell you the truth, we are from the country, no more than that wealthy family, and we are afraid of getting into trouble. Another thing, what did you say about this family? That's good, how much silver would it cost?" Grandma Liu has also chosen this family from the bottom of her heart, and the fact that the family does not need to be separated from each other will make her feel more comfortable.

It's just that I should inquire clearly, and I still have to ask clearly, the price of another one like this will be lower, and she will have to negotiate the price with this Mrs. Li later.

When Mistress Li heard this question, she knew that the deal would be successful, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, ma'am, there is nothing more troublesome, it's just being exiled for corruption, which has nothing to do with these servants. As for the price, you Yes, I know that the price will not be lower for people with crafts. The family is 180 taels in total. The old couple add up to 80 taels, the daughter-in-law is 50 taels, and the man is 40 taels. I’ll give you a cheap maid. Just give me twelve taels."

Wang Gou'er smacked his tongue secretly, but he is a servant of the whole family, and it costs 180 taels, so he might as well grab it!Grandma Liu is quite used to it. Those embroiderers with excellent embroidery skills in the previous life were worth hundreds of taels of silver each. up.

I think so, the price still needs to be discussed, but now they have not selected all the people, so they just put it aside: "These five people are not enough for our family, if there are good ones, you can call out a few more, I think The rest are not very eye-catching. Don’t worry, whoever bought your family will give you the same amount of money, my son, show your money to Miss Li.”

Li Yamao naturally has good products in her hands, but she is going to send them to high-ranking families, and Wang Gou'er's family is not in her eyes.She was a little displeased in her heart, just seeing that Grandma Liu was really gorgeously dressed, and the banknotes were also thick, and she looked at Grandma Liu's hands and face a little rough, but her temperament was there, she was a bit like a rich family .

So the toothmaid thought for a while and pretended to be reluctant and said: "Ma'am, you are here today. If it were someone else, I would be reluctant to part with my girls. Forget it, who made me fall in love with you, Ma'am? There is still a group of people who are going to be sent to the Duke's mansion in a few days, but since you are here first, I will let you pick and choose first." After speaking, he sent a nanny in the courtyard to the backyard, and everyone was shocked. come over.

The people who came here again this time seemed to be doing well. Although they were not as well-behaved as the big maids in the Rongguo Mansion, there were a few who were better than the third-class servants in their family.It was rare for Grandma Liu to see such outstanding ones at Renyazi, so she accidentally chose too many.

She first chose Daya, Zhaodi, and Erya as rough envoys, and then she picked two twelve or thirteen-year-old girls, Chuncao and Luluo, who were slightly proficient in needlework, and the nanny Li, who came from a wealthy family. , this is to teach Liu the rules.Then I picked two errand servants, Zhuzi and Shishi, for Wang Gou'er, and Mr. Zhao, an accountant who could read and write, and finally added a middle-aged man who could drive a carriage, and finally stopped.

These ten people, plus the family of five selected just now, spent a total of nearly 400 taels of silver. When Wang Gou'er took out the money from his pocket, he twitched in distress, but he would not refute Grandma Liu's face.

After leaving Ren Yazi's house, Grandma Liu took a newly bought daughter-in-law, a maid and the groom called a car, and went straight to the carriage dealer. She was going to pick up a carriage.For the rest of the servants, Grandma Liu arranged for Wang Gou'er to send them all to the new house, take a bath and clean them up first, and then clean the inside and outside of the yard.

The groom I bought this time was named Luo Da, a widower. His hometown was hit by a disaster, his wife and children all died, and he had no choice but to sell himself as a slave.However, he is good at raising horses by himself. He and another groom usually take care of the carriage at the grandmother's house.Now I can pick horses too, which saves Grandma Liu a lot of effort. After all, Grandma Liu really doesn't know anything about horses even though she has lived in a deep house for several lifetimes.

After I bought the horse, I bought the matching carriage, plus fodder reins and so on, and a large sum of money went out. At this time, even though Grandma Liu was not short of money, she felt a little distressed.But fortunately, everything is in order, and there will be less places to spend money in the future.

Luo Da drove the carriage to the new house, Wang Gou'er and Liu's husband and wife had already taken the maid and wife to clean the house.

When she saw Grandma Liu going back, Mrs. Liu hurriedly came up to meet her, and said in a low voice, "Mother, you bought so many people, we don't have enough bedding and bedding for our family, and we don't even buy enough rice today. It’s fine grain, wouldn’t it be too wasteful to feed them?”

Grandma Liu slapped her head, suddenly remembered, and really forgot: "I originally planned to give them the bedding from my hometown, but the bedding in our hometown is only two sets in your house and mine. They are really not enough people." Divided. While the weather is still early, hurry up and order another set of five, and just choose the third set. Seeing that winter is coming, it is too bad to know what is stuffed in it, frostbite You have to spend a lot of money, don't save this money."

Then he said to Wang Gou'er, "Take this boy to the grain store next door to the one where we bought pots today, and buy the coarse grains for [-] catties, and then look at the ones with cabbage and radishes. One bag is enough for them to chew for three days. Whether it is tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, our family’s food can be brought.”

Wang Gou'er responded, and Mrs. Liu went to the cloth shop to buy bedding with her mother Zhang, who was in charge just bought today. Ban'er and Qing'er were arguing about taking a carriage. gone.Grandma Liu had been running around for a day, and at this time she was so thirsty that she entered the main house and sat on the edge of the kang, and a girl with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes came over with hot water.

There was not even a piece of broken tea in Qing Lingling's teacup, but Grandma Liu didn't pay much attention to this, she drank three cups of water to quench her thirst, and only thought about getting some tea in her heart to entertain guests in the future.Seeing that the cup was put down, this maid named Chuncao was really clever, and hurriedly stepped forward to beat Grandma Liu's back and shoulders, with a very winking look.

Grandma Liu closed her eyes and enjoyed it, and said after she had calmed down, "Okay, go everywhere and let people finish their work quickly, and come back to the main courtyard in half an hour, and wait a while My master and the others have something to say when they come back."

Chuncao responded in a low voice, and stepped back in a small step.Grandma Liu turned around and closed the door, and began to meditate with her legs crossed. This body is really old, and it takes a lot of effort to cultivate. After doing so many things today, she is very tired, so hurry up and recover while she has nothing to do.

I don't know how long it took, Qing'er and Ban'er shouted outside, and then Grandma Liu resigned and got off the kang.It turned out that Mrs. Liu and Wang Gou'er had come back. They not only bought bedding and rice noodles, but also bought tooth powder, soap powder, washbasin and other odds and ends, all of which were used in daily life. necessary.

Grandma Liu was quite relieved to see this, it can be seen that these people did not buy wrong, they are all winking and capable.

Grandma Liu knew that Wang Gou'er and Liu Shi were not the kind of people who could stand up to the scene, at least she couldn't say anything now, and she didn't force her, just let them sit upright, put on airs, Start talking.

"Although our family is not that rich and powerful, there is also a Zhuangzi shop. In this family, as long as you work hard, you will always have a bowl of food. Although it is not as noble as other families, it is rare to have the word "safety". consider."

"Our family is not that mean. The bedding and toilet are all new. We will take them back later so that we can tidy up our respective rooms. We are in a hurry today. Remember tomorrow, Madam Li Remind your wife, each person will make two sets of clothes they are wearing now, and two sets of winter clothes."

Nanny Li stood at the head of the first row in the courtyard, and when she heard the words, she took a step forward and saluted respectfully, and then she backed away.
