Space Farming: Pampered

Chapter 154 Rules
"My lord, besides the cook and the two helpers in the mansion, there are servants brought by you, my lord." Steward He said respectfully from the side: "Your status is different from the past, there are too few servants in the mansion. Some."

Shen Mu and Shen Jintang have also thought about this.

Although their family is small, but now that Shen Mu's status is here, it is indispensable to have servants to accompany and serve them when traveling.

The wives, girls, and sons of each family have a few servants, first-class maids, second-class maids, and rough envoys.

If there is less, it will inevitably make outsiders laugh and say that they don't understand the rules.

There are more officials of various kinds in Qingzhou Mansion. As the magistrate, Shen Mu will inevitably socialize in the future.

It will definitely not be less social and entertaining like in Yichang County.

Even Shen Jintang and Wu Qiuniang must have dinner parties and other entertainment.

In Qingzhou Mansion, there is one circle for adults, one circle for wives, one circle for girls, and one circle for those young men and buddies.

When they first arrived, they must have hosted a banquet for the officials in Qingzhou Mansion.

As for their family members, naturally they cannot be left behind.

Since you want to host a banquet to entertain others, you must have servants who do things.

Shen Mu is naturally aware of these things in his heart, but now that he is the magistrate of a state, he must not let him do such a small matter by himself.

So he looked at Butler He, smiled at him and said, "Butler He, since you mentioned this matter, I will leave it to you to add servants."

After a pause, he said again: "You can withdraw the money from the treasury in the mansion."

He had worked in Yichang County for so long, and with the money Tang'er gave him, Shen Mu also had people buy some properties for him.

What I save is always spending my daughter's money, which is not always the case.

Now the money and banknotes earned by his property have all entered the treasury of this mansion.

The employer was not suspicious, so Shen Mu asked Wu Qiuniang to give Steward He a key to the warehouse.

He has lived for so long, and has served as the county magistrate of Yichang County for nearly two years, so he still has this insight.

Steward He doesn't look like someone who steals, rapes and plays tricks, neither in his appearance nor in his words and deeds.

Butler He didn't expect Shen Mu to trust him so much.

When he took the key with both hands, he was still stunned, and then moved to kneel down and saluted: "My lord trusts the villain so much, the villain must be so utterly utterly utterly utterly utterly daring and worthy of my lord's trust."

He said so, and thought so in his heart.

He was originally the steward of an official's mansion in the capital. The official committed a crime and his house was ransacked, and the servants in the mansion were driven out and sold.

As a housekeeper, although he didn't fall into the situation of being sold out, he had nowhere to go.

Wandering all the way to Qingzhou Mansion, I just came to try to be the butler of the newly appointed magistrate.

Ben was also worried that the newly appointed prefect would be difficult to get along with when the new official took office, but he didn't expect that he would be handed over the key to the warehouse on the first day.

Butler He secretly made up his mind that he must be a good butler of this mansion, and not let outsiders see Mr. Shen's jokes.

Steward He used to be a housekeeper in the capital, so of course he has some knowledge.

He hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "My lord, has the girl ever learned the rules?"

Shen Mu was taken aback when he heard the words, then shook his head.

Tang'er was busy all day without touching the ground, so how could she have time to learn the rules?

Moreover, he didn't think his Tang'er was out of line, so he didn't think about asking her to learn any rules.

Shen Jintang and Wu Qiuniang also looked at each other, and then looked at Steward He.

Steward He considered his words for a while, and he said slowly and respectfully: "Sir, learning the rules is not to restrain the girl, but to let her know how to avoid being caught and wronged while being well behaved."

"It shouldn't take a few years for the girl to say goodbye. After learning the rules, she will go to her in-law's house after she gets married. As long as she acts according to the rules, she won't let others catch her in the wrong place."

Shen Mu and Wu Qiuniang fell silent when they heard the words.

They found that what Steward He said made sense.

Learning the rules is not necessarily to restrain Tang'er, but to let her know where the boundaries of the rules are, and to act within the rules is more free and will not be caught wrong.

In this day and age, a woman's reputation is too important.

If you don't learn the rules well, no matter how capable you are, if someone catches you in the wrong place and ruins your reputation, then your life will be over.

Although the two felt that what Butler He said was reasonable, they still looked at Shen Jintang and asked her opinion.

If she doesn't want to learn, they, as parents, naturally have to respect their daughter's opinion.

Shen Jintang never thought about learning the rules before.

But now, after listening to Butler He's words, she also deeply agrees.

Rules are like the laws of the imperial court, as long as you don't violate them, people who don't understand the laws will not know why they are arrested if they make mistakes and violate the laws.

Therefore, knowing the rules is not necessarily a disadvantage.

Seeing that both Shen Mu and Wu Qiuniang were looking at her and asking for her opinion, Shen Jintang smiled and put down his chopsticks to look at Butler He, and said slowly, "Then trouble Butler He to find a teacher who can teach me how to behave."

Butler He didn't expect Shen Mu to ask Shen Jintang's opinion, and was startled.

It seems that this girl is not ordinary in the eyes of adults.

This is supposed to be a matter for adults to decide.

How many people will ask their children's opinions?

Hearing Shen Jintang's words, he also felt that this girl was not an ordinary person.

Hastily and respectfully said: "The affairs of the adults and the wife and the affairs of the girl are all villains should worry about. If the girl says it's troublesome, then the villain will be beaten."

After a pause, he said slowly: "The villain used to be a housekeeper in an adult's house in the capital, and he also knew a few well-bred nuns and wives. If the girl is willing, the villain will write to see Can you invite them to come?"

After he finished speaking, the three of Shen Mu were a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, Butler He used to be a housekeeper in the official's house in the capital.

No wonder he is very knowledgeable and considerate in every way.

"Okay, just look at the arrangements for Steward He." Of course, Shen Jintang would not refuse to make himself better.

Hearing this, Steward He hurriedly retreated and went back to write a letter.

After dinner, Shen Jintang was also accompanied by Qingdai, Baizhi and Fuling for a slow walk back to his yard.

This yard is also quite big, and there is a pomegranate tree in the yard, which is now in bloom.

There are also scattered flowers that have bloomed on the ground.

"Girl, the rooms are all tidy and the bed has been made for you." Qing Dai said to her.

Shen Jintang nodded. She looked at the sky before it was completely dark, and said to Bai Zhi: "Go and get my pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Bai Zhi responded and went down.

There is also a stone table one or two meters away from the pomegranate tree, surrounded by four stone benches.

Shen Jintang sat down on the stone bench, reached out and brushed off the pomegranate flowers that had fallen on the stone table.

After Bai Zhi brought the brush, ink, paper and inkstone over, she picked up the brush and started to draw.
