In ancient times, I made a fortune by copying my family

Ling Chu, "Miss Chu is getting older, so there should be someone to take care of her."

The second lady was astonished. The eldest girl was fostered in the Taoist temple before, and the lady never mentioned her, just like there was no such a person in the mansion.

It can be seen that this eldest granddaughter is not valued.

What's more, as soon as the eldest girl came back, something happened in the mansion, the whole family was imprisoned, and even demoted to common people by the Minister's Mansion.

Although Mrs. Tai didn't say anything, but based on her understanding of Mrs. Tai, she must be very sensitive to the eldest girl's fate in her heart.

But I don't know why today is uncharacteristically.

The mansion could hardly afford to eat, and even agreed to her to raise two maids.

These elders don't have maids and women around them, so why can a big girl have two.

The second madam looked displeased, "Tai madam, the mansion is almost unable to open the pot. The rice noodles are not enough for us to eat, and now we have to raise two maidservants. In a few days, everyone will have to drink the northwest wind."

Ling Hao was originally sitting quietly drinking tea, but when he saw Ling Chu frowning, he couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Second Aunt, the eldest sister has been weak since she was a child. She used to live in a Taoist temple and could only be taken care of by Master Xuanyi. Now that she has returned to the mansion, she always needs someone to take care of her. I took some work at the book store today. The two Let me be responsible for the maid's monthly money."

Originally, Ling Hao didn't want to get involved in these internal affairs.

But this eldest sister grew up in a Taoist temple, and she didn't even have any relatives around her, while he and other brothers and sisters grew up rich and well-fed, so they really owed this sister a lot.

I used to live in a Taoist temple, so I couldn't take care of her.But now that he is by his side, as the eldest brother, he will always find a way to make up for this younger sister.

Ling Chu glanced at the elder brother in surprise, he really didn't expect that he would help her raise a maid.

Although moved in his heart, Ling Chu didn't want to accept it.

"Big Brother's money should be kept for yourself, my maid, I will raise it myself."

"Why, are you worried that big brother doesn't have enough money? Don't worry, besides copying books for Shusi, I can also write letters for others..."

Mrs. Dong stood aside, frowning, "Brother Hao, why did you take over the job yourself without discussing it with me? Copying books and writing letters is the most frustrating thing, how can your body bear it?"

Mrs. Tai also looked worried, "Brother Hao, your mother is right, you are too weak, so you should quit your job at the bookstore."

Ling Hao knew that they were worried about his health, but now the mansion has no income.With so many people in the mansion, it's impossible to rely on the eldest sister to support her alone.

"Grandmother, mother, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion. My body has been here for so many years, and nothing will happen."

Aunt Wen saw that Mrs. Tai was worried, so she smiled and said, "The eldest girl is old enough, there should be a servant girl by her side, and when she sees her in the future, she can just be a dowry maid.

It's still the young master who is sensible and knows how to love the young girl.Let Brother Wei copy books with his eldest brother, so that he can learn what brotherhood is. "

Seeing that Ling Hao was not dissatisfied, Mrs. Tai frowned, and said to Ling Wei, "Since you can't go to the academy anymore, then copy the books with your elder brother and help him share some."

The second lady curled her lips in dissatisfaction, but seeing that Mrs. Tai opened her mouth, she couldn't object anymore.

Glancing dissatisfiedly at the two servant girls, the second lady's eyes suddenly lit up.

It was because she was wrong, there were no maids and women in the mansion, and now that the eldest girl bought two of them, it happened to let them both do all the work in the mansion, so that she would not have to wash and cook herself.

The second lady swept away her previous dissatisfaction, and said with a smile, "Since the eldest and third young masters are both copying books, let Luo Ge'er copy along with them."

Seeing everyone's surprise, the second lady didn't take it seriously, "I was thinking about it before, but now there are no maids and women in the mansion. It's just right for the eldest girl to buy two maids and come back. The meals for the past few days are all cooked by the hired women. The sister-in-law should resign the old lady, so as to save some money.

From now on, let these two servant girls be in charge of cooking, washing, and cleaning the yard..."

Ling Chu smiled sarcastically, she wondered why the second lady suddenly changed her mind, so she was waiting here.

"Second aunt, didn't you hear clearly just now? These two maidservants are just my maidservants. They just need to serve me. As for the work you just mentioned, it's not their turn to do it."

"Miss, you can't say that. Since these two maids are supported by your elder brother, second brother, and third brother who copy books, how can they be counted as your maids alone?

Besides, there are no servants in the mansion now, if these two maids don't do the work of cooking, washing, and cleaning the yard, who will do it? "

The second lady spoke plausibly, and the others listened silently without any objection.

Ling Chu sneered in his heart, if she agreed to let these two maids do all the work in the house today, she still doesn't know how she will make more progress in the future.

The maid she bought back with money was not for serving this big family.

"My maids, I raise them myself. As for cooking, laundry, and cleaning the yard, Second Aunt can buy a few maids to do."

Being refuted by Ling Chu in public, the second wife was full of annoyance, "Miss, you only let two servant girls serve you, so don't tell me you don't even care about Mrs. Tai?"

Ling Chu was not annoyed, but said slowly, "Second aunt, serving grandma, shouldn't it be you who are daughters-in-law? If you let go of it, I don't know, and you think grandma has done something outrageous Let a few daughters-in-law be dissatisfied, so that they leave the mother-in-law aside and ignore them."

The second wife was speechless, and was almost heartbroken by Ling Chu's words.

Ling Chu raised the corners of his mouth, and continued to speak slowly, "Now there is no income in the mansion. My eldest brother, second brother and third brother all know that they need to copy books to subsidize the family. As the elder, it's not good for the second aunt to do nothing, right? The kitchen Housework, each of the three houses takes turns to do it for a day. Cleaning the yard, laundry and other small things, each house is responsible for itself."

"Although my father, second uncle, and third uncle are no longer officials, they can find ways to start a small business, or go to colleges, tea houses and restaurants to find jobs. As for the second and third younger sisters, didn't they all learn from female celebrities? Do some needlework and sell it, and you can earn some money."

Ling Chu glanced at the silent crowd, and continued, "In the empty space of each yard, you can also grow some fruits and vegetables, which can be eaten, and if there are any surplus, you can also sell them..."

The second lady's face became darker the more she heard, "Grow melons, fruits and vegetables, and those can be sold for a few dollars..."

Ling Chu sneered, "Melons, fruits and vegetables are indeed worthless, but cash cows are valuable. Second aunt, why don't you plant more money trees, so that third brother and the others don't have to work so hard to copy books to subsidize their family."

The second lady was run on, her face was like a colorful palette.

Ling Chu: Ladies and gentlemen, there are no seeds for the cash cow, can you give me a few tickets?
