Orion's pretty daughter-in-law

Chapter 70
After handing over all the money and obtaining the deeds of sale of the six people, Yun Jinghao and the two returned to Shangxi Village.

There were few people walking outside in the winter, and no one saw that there were several people in their ox cart, which temporarily saved the energy of dealing with the villagers.

After drinking two sips of hot tea to warm up their bodies, Yun Jinghao and his two sat down in the main seat in the main room, and looked at the five people standing in front of them. When the sick woman entered the door, she arranged for them to go out first. In the inverted seat room that was lit with a kang.

"From today onwards, you are all servants of our family. The housekeeper has a serious name, let's not mention it. The names of the others are either cheap names or the names given by the previous master. When they arrive at our house, they all change their names. , It also marks that you will start a new life."

No one in the room had any objection after listening to Luo Jinxiu's words, or it could be said that they had thought of this a long time ago, and said in unison: "Madam please give me your name."

Luo Jinxiu tapped the table with her fingernails, thought for a moment, pointed to the two servant girls and said, "Since you are all servants of our family, you will follow the surname of the master. You two are called Yun Kou and Yun Xiang, and you will follow me from now on." Help me to do some work of serving tea and water and tidying up the house."

Pointing to the mature young man again, "Your name is Yun Fan, and you will be a porter first, and take care of the two cows at home by the way."

The young Yun Fan nodded, "Yes, ma'am."

The old woman was not young, so it was unnecessary to give her another name. Her deceased husband's surname was Sun, so she directly called her Grandma Sun.

"Grandma Sun will be responsible for feeding the chickens and ducks after the family raises some chickens and ducks in spring, and will be responsible for three meals a day in the lower house."

"Ji Zihe." Finally, Luo Jinxiu looked at the hanger, "You will be the housekeeper of the family from now on, responsible for arranging the division of labor and cooperation of these people in the family, the daily expenses of the family, and giving gifts to the family during the New Year and holidays, including giving All of you pay wages, these are your duties."

Ji Zihe, who will be the steward Ji of the compound in the future, nodded respectfully: "Yes, ma'am, I will definitely not disappoint my wife and master."

"As for your daughter-in-law, I'm afraid she will have to take care of her for a while. After she recovers, she will be mainly responsible for the kitchen of the main courtyard. She will be responsible for cooking for us when I am not cooking, and for all of you when the seasons change. Let her and Yunkou Yunxiang be responsible for the necessary clothes."

When Ji Zihe heard the affirmative tone, it was clear that he was not worried about saving his mother-in-law. He was even more grateful in his heart. Naturally, he didn't have any opinions. Instead, he made a firm promise to the two masters in front of him: "Ji and my wife will definitely not let the two masters Regret buying us!"

Luo Jinxiu just smiled lightly, "I hope so."

Staring at everyone for a moment, Luo Jinxiu said casually: "My man and I, that is, your master are not bad-tempered people who like to take advantage of others at every turn, as long as you keep yourselves and do your job well." Work, don’t have any thoughts that you shouldn’t have, not only can you get a fixed salary every month, three meals are guaranteed to make you eat well, and there are new clothes and shoes to wear when the season changes, in short, I can’t treat you badly.”

Before a few people had time to show their joyful expressions, their faces turned slightly cold again, "But! If anyone dares to be dishonest and do something that shouldn't be done, don't blame us for being rude."

Yun Jinghao specially coordinated at this time to let out the momentum he had honed on the battlefield, his eyes were full of sharpness, the sharp eyes like knives seemed to cut a few people alive, which made people feel chills instantly , as timid as Yunkou Yunxiang, and the elderly Grandma Sun trembled slightly, and obvious fear appeared on her face. To put it more plainly and understandably--I'm almost scared to pee!
Even Ji Zihe, who had seen some insomnia before, couldn't help sweating from his forehead, his heart was beating like thunder, and his eyes were full of horror. Such an overwhelming aura is not something ordinary farmers can have!

When he was still in the previous master's house, he met a military household who was a little distant relative to the master's family. It is said that the man had gone to the battlefield to kill the enemy. The servant girl was terrified, but that man was just a small leader in the army, and his posture was completely incomparable with the new master in front of him.

When he left Yaxing, he thought he was going to some big family, but he found out that the destination was only a village. Dazed, until now, he no longer dared to guess the identities of the two new masters.

He is a housekeeper, and he is only a housekeeper. It is better not to speculate about the affairs of the master, as Madam said, as long as he does his job well, it is enough.

The moment Yun Jinghao came, not to mention a few trusted servants, they were completely shocked, even Luo Jinxiu was startled, and for a moment, he almost thought he saw her elder brother.

After regaining his senses, he patted his hand and gave him a look of "almost enough", Yun Jinghao calmed down and returned to his usual silent and introverted appearance, as if his sense of presence was not so strong , but none of the five people present dared to underestimate their master, and all of them showed a look of rejoicing after the disaster, which made Luo Jinxiu dumbfounded for a while.

Next, Luo Jinxiu gave them a detailed account of her remuneration after consideration. Except for Ji Butler's salary of one or two dollars a month, everyone else is paid five hundred Wen per month, two sets of new clothes and shoes every quarter, and every year and festivals There are red envelopes for the annual gift, and they are given four days off every month, and they can do whatever they want.

If you do something that contributes to this price, you will be rewarded. If you make a mistake, you will be deducted from wages or given some other punishment according to the size of the mistake.

Five hundred cash or one tael is just the price of the 'trial period' that Luo Jinxiu thought of. When she confirms that these people are available and can stay at home for a long time, she will at least double their wages. On the contrary, Then don't blame her for being rude and selling them out again, then they may not be able to meet such a kind master like her.

Before this, Yun Jinghao was intimidating, and Luo Jinxiu promised him a generous treatment later. With the typical combination of kindness and power, the effect was very good as they expected.

Five hundred cash doesn't sound like a lot at first glance, but the shop assistants in the town usually spend four to five hundred cash per month. In the county town, it may be higher, six to seven hundred cash. If you have a skill, you can still earn money. More, but like Yunkou Yunxiang and the others, to be honest, they definitely don’t do too many things at home. Even in their own home, don’t they also have to do housework? Much more leisurely than a boy in a shop, but earns the same wages.

The few people who originally only thought that they might only be able to guarantee three meals a day and accommodation were already very satisfied and even grateful.

After speaking, the five people separated and started to do what they should do. Yunfan went to feed the cows and looked at the gate. Butler Ji got familiar with the general situation in the compound, and by the way, he also wanted to count the things that were missing at home, some daily necessities The ones that are used up, as well as the winter clothes and shoes they need this winter, after calculating how much they need, they will go to the town to cut the cloth tomorrow, even if they rush to make finished products.

The two maids, Yun Kou and Yun Xiang, went to boil the fire and water, and took away the laundry that the two masters wanted to wash.

On that day, Yun Jinghao and Luo Jinxiu had a good taste of the taste of the local landlord class. Ji Zihe's daughter-in-law was still sick and couldn't get up to cook. Luo Jinxiu also wanted to taste the benefits of Grandma Sun, so the dinner included Before recovering from illness, Grandma Sun cooks.

When the meal is ready, Yunkou Yunxiang will be served on the table. After eating, they will remove the table, wash the dishes, and serve hot tea. There is not much entertainment in this era. When I went back to the town a few days ago, I bought some travel notes at the bookstall Ben, watch for a while after dinner to digest, and talk to Yun Jinghao about his recent plans and private conversations between the couple.

When they were tired, Yun Kou and Yun Xiang also boiled hot water for them to take a bath. After the bath was delicious, Yun Jinghao hugged them horizontally, and the bed curtain was pulled. The two people who had just become a real couple not long ago were full of enthusiasm and made out for most of the night Until Luo Jinxiu fell asleep tiredly, and Yun Jinghao hugged her to take a bath, the hot water was still prepared by the two maids.

From the beginning to the end, they almost didn't have to do anything, they just had to enjoy the service, including getting up early in the morning and someone directly prepared the fragrant rice porridge, steamed buns, and side dishes.

At the same time, this kind of life like raising pigs in advance is too degenerate, and it’s okay to enjoy it occasionally. If you keep doing nothing like this, you will be useless after a long time.

But on the other hand, I have to say that it is indeed much easier to hand over these trivial things to the subordinates, and it can also free up more time to do other more meaningful or fun things.

Suddenly there were six more living people in the family. In this small village, they couldn't escape the eyes of other people, not to mention that their compound had always been the focus of attention of the villagers.

In the afternoon, it happened that Aunt Hong came over to deliver some overcooked dishes for them, and Zhou Xier came to the door. Luo Jinxiu didn't want to hide it, and it was Yun Fan who opened the door for them. There were also people in the village I saw it, and soon, the news about the two of them buying a few servants and returning spread throughout the village, causing a heated discussion.

"Yun Jinghao and his wife are really amazing! They even bought the servants!" Several gossiping village women gathered together and chatted.

"Tsk tsk, this is the only one in our Shangxi Village! It costs at least four or five taels of silver to buy one servant. I heard that their family bought six people in one go! That's not worth two or thirty taels!?"

"It's more than that!" A shrewd woman counted for them with her fingers: "Buying people is not that simple. Bringing one person back means one more mouth, and six people are six mouths. Don't you eat or drink yourself?"
