I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 483 Manpower
After such a pass, Ning Pengpeng felt a little tired, Qing Niang waited for her to lie down in the main courtyard, and then retreated lightly.

Except for Ning Pengpeng's main courtyard, although there are ten other courtyards, there are four masters in the family, so four of them are naturally occupied.

Aunt Tan and Qingniang lived in Ning Pengpeng's main courtyard, so Liu Hu and his wife's courtyard had to be reserved, which meant going to another courtyard.

Although Ning Youxi was engaged, she did not marry after all, so naturally she had to leave a separate courtyard for her.

In the remaining four courtyards, boys and girls live in two each.

Although they live in the same courtyard, the houses in the other courtyard are very big, the main room and side rooms are almost several times larger than the one they lived in in the Zhuangzi in Mingzhou Prefecture.

Especially Ning Yongpeng and Ning Yongkang, the two brothers are almost Meng Budijiao.

After all, the two are about the same age, plus academically, Ning Yongkang was overwhelmed by Ning Yongye to study before, and later Ning Yongkang took the initiative to start learning.

Although Ning Yongkang wants to make progress, he is not as good as Ning Yongpeng who loves learning before.

Therefore, now Ning Yongkang can't wait to stick to Ning Yongpeng's body, and ask him if there is anything he doesn't understand.

When it was said that the boys in the other courtyard could only live in one courtyard, Ning Yongkang stood beside Ning Yongpeng without hesitation, expressing that the two would not be separated.

The other three, Ning Yongyao, Ning Yongyan, and Liu Chen, originally Ning Yongyao and Ning Yongyan also wanted to live with their brothers, but Ning Yongkang was afraid that they would disturb the two brothers, so he did not agree.

It happened that two people lived in one courtyard and three people lived in the other, so it was not crowded at all.

Ning Yongyao and Ning Yongyan are relatively young, and it happens that Liu Chen can take care of them when they are together.

As for the girls, including Liu Zhen, there are eight people in total.

Therefore, Ning Mian'er directly took the four sisters to live in a separate courtyard.

For the rest, Ning Cheng'er brought Ning Pan'er, Ning Jin'er, and Liu Zhen to live together.

Among them, Ning Jin'er is the youngest, so her original daughter, Nai Niang, and her current nun, Yue Niang, live outside her wing and can take care of her at any time.

As for Yueniang's son, although Hutou is only a little older than Ning Jin'er, he is a man after all, and it is not good to live in the girl's yard.

Therefore, he was arranged to live with the concierge.

After all, staying with the concierge, there is usually nothing to do.

It would be most convenient for Hutou to go to the inner courtyard to deliver a message when a distinguished guest comes to the door!
However, in two years, Hutou will be seven years old, and it will no longer be suitable for running into the inner courtyard.

After their accommodation was almost settled, Qingniang and Aunt Tan returned to the main courtyard.

Looking at the courtyard as big as the main courtyard, there were only the two of them, even though the elder said he would buy someone.

It's just that the available manpower is really not so easy to find.

In the main courtyard of the county lord, there must be at least four first-class maids, and then four second-class maids to help the first-class maids do what they can.

In addition to the first-class maids and second-class maids, there are window corridors in the courtyard, as well as the cleaning of fallen leaves on the ground, etc., at least six small maids, and two servants guarding the courtyard gate.

In addition to these, three cooks in the small kitchen are needed, who can make white and red dishes, as well as desserts.

The woman who makes the fire, the little girl who makes the fire, and the servants who wash the vegetables all need two of them.

In addition, there must be at least five each for laundry and needlework.

There are also two or three servants who do rough work.

In this way, it is equivalent to only one courtyard in the main courtyard, and about 38 people are needed.

As far as this number is concerned, it is still a small number.

After all, the main courtyard is so big that the cleanliness of the main courtyard can only be kept by relying on six little maids who at least have to work non-stop from morning to night.

There are also clothes washers, including the county head, Qing Niang, and Aunt Tan in the main courtyard, that's 41 people.

The county lord's clothes must be washed carefully and separately.

The same is true for Qingniang and Aunt Tan, they cannot be neglected.

For the rest, as long as the clothes are cleaned, others should not bother them.

And those who do needlework don't need to make clothes for their masters right away.

However, a set of clothes and shoes and socks must be made for each of the people in the main courtyard.

In this way, the five people have to work every day and night for the past few days.

As for the other courtyards of the four Ning brothers and Liu Hu, two big maids, two second-class maids, four young maids, plus two gatekeepers, these are the minimum preparations in the courtyard.

There are also the attendants of the four brothers of the Ning family who serve by their side, and there are two of them for each of them. If there is anything, they can send someone back to say something.

Of course, this servant girl has followers, including Liu Shi and the others, even the four brothers and Liu Hu had followers before, minus the people they already had, the people they need are not too many.

In the other courtyard, the one with the least number of people is the one where the second child lives.

He is a widow, so he only needs four maids for cleaning and two housekeepers.

The other two are the two attendants who followed him in Zhuangzi. However, because this is in another courtyard, if Ning's second child returns to the other courtyard, the two attendants will also live in the wing room of the other courtyard. .

What's the matter, it's convenient to send a message.

As for Ning Youxi, he prepared four big maids, four second-class maids, six young maids and two maids.

The reason for preparing more people for her is that after she gets to know them well, she can bring them to her husband's house.

In order to avoid having no manpower available after marrying into her husband's family.

Ning Cheng'er and Ning Mian'er were served by maids by their side before.

It's just that they lived in the same courtyard at that time, so at that time they felt that a maid was enough.

But now that the yard is so big, there must be more people.

However, in each of their courtyards, they added four little maids and two servants.

After all, it was up to them to clean the courtyard and guard the gate of the other courtyard.

As for the first maid and the second maid, none of the sisters wanted them.

Ning Pengpeng didn't say anything about this.

After all, the newly bought servants have to be taught before they can be used.

They are still young, don't worry.

As for the other courtyards of Ning Yongpeng and Ning Yongkang, they directly disliked the little maids and replaced them with servants.

Those who look at the gates of other courtyards are the same as other courtyards. Each courtyard finds two servants to guard the gates.

This is the manpower arrangement of the mansion and the masters of each courtyard.

Laundry, with so many masters' clothes, at least a dozen are enough.

Needlework requires at least twenty people.

There are also chefs in the big kitchen, at least several times more than the small kitchen in the main courtyard.

Otherwise, with such a big mansion, so many masters, and servants, how could there be time?

　Ask for a monthly ticket every day, okay!
