Jade color and fragrance

Chapter 33

There were all kinds of delicacies on the table, the dishes were quite standard, but the taste was excellent, Yan Yu ate it and praised: "Mother, who made this? It suits my taste very well. The chefs in Chunxi Building are no different than that."

He also told Mammy that after the time mark, invite the cook to come to receive the reward, and the other servants will also come to see him.

Yan Yu was tired for two hours and wanted to take a nap.

At Shen Shi, Yan Yu was sitting on the armchair in the main hall, smiling dignifiedly at the servants.Aunt Xian reminded her before that she had to hold her hand when facing servants, and she couldn't let them think that she was tender, and she would deceive the master in the future.

After everyone came, everyone was dressed differently, and they were almost ragged.Only then did Yan Yu realize that there were still many things she hadn't thought through for her first time as the head of the family.It's been busy recently, so the servants on this side of the house haven't settled down yet.

All the servants bowed in unison: "Miss, I greet you."

There were more than 30 people in the black and white, but they shouted in unison.Yan Yu visually checked that the seriously ill elder brother, the younger brother, and the seriously injured man were not present.

Lanyue said: "Girl, the Song brothers and Uncle Ban are still being treated in the hospital, but the doctor said that they can come back at the beginning of next month."

"Don't come back in a hurry. Be sure to heal them. You can't leave the root cause of the disease."

The servants have all heard about those two, and they all say that the girl has a bodhisattva heart, and she came to this Yan's house, and she will work hard in the future, so she won't worry about not being able to survive.

Yan Yu said with a smile on her face: "Girl, it's my first time to be in charge of the house. My rules are not so strict. From now on, we will be a family. I'm busy these days, and I won't have time to meet you in the future. Are you okay in the house?"

Yan Yu heard their answers, and said again: "We will live in this house for a long time, and I don't know much about you. Shan Qing, you went to get a pen and paper to make records. What about you? They each reported their surnames, first names, ages, places of origin, and jobs they are good at, and I will listen to them too."

The two daughters-in-law on the stove are both in their early thirties. The one who is good at Beijing cuisine and Yangzhou cuisine is called Hu's; the one who is good at Sichuan cuisine and pastries is Kang's.

Yan Yu asked: "Is today's lunch made by Mrs. Hu?"

Mrs. Hu replied: "Girl, it's my chef, and Mrs. Kang helped me. After lunch, although the time is in a hurry, Mrs. Kang and I prepared some pastries for you."

"Okay, I ate very well today. You have to take care of my food and this big family in the future. It's hard work. Look at the moon and watch the rewards."

The two each got a tael of silver.

When the other servants saw it, they felt envious, but they didn't dare to show it too obviously.Yan Yu was very satisfied to see her.

"In the future, the servants in the family will have at least one meat and one vegetarian meal every day, and extra meals during the holidays. I hope you are all healthy and healthy, and the family can rest assured that you can also work hard."

Two gardeners came up, both old men in their late fifties, both farmers in the suburbs of Beijing, with rich experience in planting trees and flowers.

The daughter-in-law who knew how to embroider brought her daughter up and said, "This servant is from the Northwest, and her surname is Hu. This is my daughter, Niuniu. This servant has been doing embroidery since she was a child, and she knows how to embroider on both sides, Shu embroidery."

"Oh?" Yan Yu didn't ask carefully that day, just as if he could do some mending.

Yan Yu recruited Aunt Xian to come over and whisper: "Auntie, are double-sided embroidery and Sichuan embroidery very rare?"

Aunt Xian replied: "Of course it is. If Mrs. Hu is serious about what she says, even if she knows how to embroider double-sided embroidery and Shu embroidery, then she is worthy to be a leader in our embroidery building."

After hearing this, Yan Yu said to Mrs. Hu: "Okay. I have about [-] days left before the ceremony. In these days, can you please help me embroider a double-sided embroidered skirt?"

Hu's heart was filled with joy, the girl would give her a chance, and at the same time, let's see her true ability.She must be doing well.

Seeing that her mother was being praised, Niuniu was also happy, she took her hand and circled around her legs.

Yan Yu now still has Xiulou and Buzhuang, so of course Hu didn't have to make all the clothes by himself.In the past two days, she will also arrange time to go to various shops.

Several nursing homes also came up to report, two of them could read and write, two of them had passed through the bodyguard bureau, and the rest had learned martial arts from regular masters.

Watching men practice martial arts, although Yan Yu felt a little shy in her heart, but she was going to be in charge now, so she couldn't care about these things.

Immediately ordered the people to make room, and asked a few nursing homes to make gestures in the courtyard.

All of them followed suit and showed their moves in the courtyard.Yan Yu didn't understand, they looked at everyone in a mighty and majestic manner.They can only ask themselves: "Everyone, among you, who is better at martial arts?"

Naturally, they were gesticulating these days, and they all looked at a man together.

The man's eyebrows were raised, his face was rough, and he was full of strength. He stepped forward and said: "Girl, my servant's surname is Deng, and I can read some words. I used to be a bodyguard in a bodyguard bureau and was a bodyguard teacher. Therefore, my martial arts are slightly outstanding." some."

Yan Yu didn't know what he had experienced, such a person sold himself cheaply and became a slave.

Yan Yu said: "Uncle Deng, I think you have some great talents, how did you become a slave?"

All the servants in the courtyard have their own sufferings, and now that they have come to her house, she will treat them well, but it is still necessary to ask clearly about the reasons.

Uncle Deng said with a wry smile: "I dare not be a slave. When I was young, I was so high-spirited that I offended the head of the Jingzhong Escort Bureau. Since then, all the Escorts have dared not use slaves. The year before last, the slave's wife finally conceived, but She had a miscarriage again. After that, her health became worse and worse. She was seriously ill for a time, and the family savings were quickly exhausted. The doctor said that the slave's wife needs a hundred-year-old ginseng to hang her life. The slave has no choice but to He can sell himself. However, the servant’s wife still left at the end of last year.”

Yan Yu was shocked, there is such an infatuated man in this world.

"Uncle Deng, you are so righteous, I will not treat you badly. In this way, from now on, all the guards in our courtyard will be entrusted to you to lead the team, and you will take office today. But as I said before, I will entrust all my wealth and life to you , it is natural to verify what you said, can you stand the verification?"

Uncle Deng: "Of course, thank you for your trust."

The eleven and twelve-year-old girls were all sold out by their parents because they had many brothers and sisters.They know a lot of embroidery but are not good at it, and some of them know how to work on the stove.

Yan Yu picked two good-looking ones, and gave them names on the spot: Tao Hong and Liu Lu.

Then she said to Nanny Xian: "Mommy, Tao Hong Liu Lu entrusts you to teach, and you will be a second-class maid in my yard from now on."

The two girls knelt down and thanked them.

Another two were selected to be second-class maids who looked clever, and they were named Fenghe and Sunli, but one was handed over to Shan Qing and the other to Lanyue.

There are also a few little boys who are temporarily running errands and learning to work with the adults in their spare time.

The remaining few daughters-in-law and mother-in-law are all doing washing and sweeping.

Yan Yu had a certain understanding of everyone in her heart, and thought, she also had to get to know those people in the shop later.

For the time being, I can see that these people are all doing their duty. Sure enough, those who looked at each other when they bought them can't be wrong.Since then, Yan Yu has become more accustomed to looking at people's eyes.

After registering the list, I showed it to Yan Yu.After Yan Yu saw it, her face was a little red. Although Shan Qing's characters were not as elegant as everyone else's, they were as neat as tofu cubes, unlike her own characters, which were swaying here and there.

After reading it, Yan Yu was satisfied.Shan Qing is really a treasure. She knows martial arts, can read and write, keeps accounts, and is also careful.

　Thanks to the little fairies who voted silently.
