Nongmen ruffian concubine: ploughing the fields, planting buns

Chapter 15

Ding Shitou hurriedly picked up a bowl of rice and went to the kitchen to find Mrs. Lin.

"Here you come, Shitou. Are you full? I still have a bowl of chicken soup here. You can drink it while it's hot."

Mrs. Lin was pouring a chicken casserole into a bowl in the kitchen, and when she saw the stone coming, she poured another bowl.

"Ms. Lin, you are so kind to Shishi."

When Ding Shitou saw the golden bowl of hot chicken soup, he squeezed out a few tears and choked with emotion.

"The little one has been lonely since he was a child, and this is the first time he has had chicken soup."

After speaking, she picked up the bowl with Aunt Lin's amiable smile and drank carefully.

"Silly boy, you will never miss chicken soup with Mrs. Lin. You have to work hard."

Although Aunt Lin was a little arrogant towards her servants, she was in her early forties but had not given birth to a child. Now seeing a sweet-mouthed, clever and clever young orphan, it will inevitably touch her heart.

It would be great if this boy was her son.

If he is smarter and more capable, he will definitely take over his father's position as housekeeper in the future and become a better housekeeper.

Maybe it won the favor of the master, and it would be brought to the mansion of the capital to be the butler.

Ding Shitou strikes while the iron is hot while drinking chicken soup while inquiring about Zhao's situation.

It turns out that Mr. Blind is indeed the owner of the Zhao Mansion, but this is not the mansion of the Zhao Mansion, but a villa that Mr. Zhao bought after he came to Hangzhou from the capital.

The housekeeper Lin and his wife were originally housekeepers who stayed here to take care of the house for the previous owner. Since Mr. Zhao bought this place, they appointed them to continue to be housekeepers and stewards.

Since Mr. Zhao couldn't see, a few servants were busy enough to take care of him and the courtyard on weekdays, and they had no time to take care of daily trivial matters.

Therefore, Steward Lin asked Mr. Zhao for instructions and proposed the idea of ​​recruiting menial servants.

Mr. Zhao agreed, but decided to look for it himself, so there was the scene in the west of the city today.

As for why the young master who can afford such a spacious mansion would go to the west of the city to find a servant out of greed for cheap, this question is difficult to know.

What Ding Shitou didn't understand was that Mr. Zhao brought more than ten servants to Hangzhou, but why couldn't they do chores?
She couldn't believe that a blind man needed more than a dozen people to take care of him. According to her several encounters with him, he actually only had two people with him. Could it be that the rest were eating and sleeping?

It's just that I have doubts in my heart, but I can't say it out of my mouth.

"Okay, let's go to work." Aunt Lin finished the story and finally finished the chicken soup in the bowl, wiped her mouth and stood up.

Ding Shitou also put down the bowl and got up quickly, and followed Aunt Lin to the dining hall.

Aunt Lin took the airs and assigned tasks to the new rough men, and let everyone get busy.

Aunt Lin took Ding Shitou to the front yard and introduced the situation in the mansion all the way. It seemed that she really wanted to focus on cultivating a successor to the housekeeper.

I didn't expect to get Mrs. Lin so quickly.

While flattering Aunt Lin, Ding Shitou looked around to familiarize himself with the environment.I thought to myself, fortunately this is only another garden, if it is bigger, I will really get lost.

The front yard is much more spacious and beautiful.

However, the layout is also very simple. Apart from the magnificent hall and the elegant flower hall, bypassing the small courtyard in the atrium is the courtyard where Mr. Zhao Jian lived.

Walking through the moon gate on the other side is the courtyard where the servants he brought lived, and here... Ding Shitou chuckled in his heart.

It turns out that there is a small garden when you go out here, and there is a side yard when you go out of the small garden, which is where the side entrance was when they entered the mansion.

Although I walked around the main house for a long time and felt that I couldn't find the direction, the master's residence was actually so close to the servant's residence.

Should it be said that Mr. Zhao is approachable and has no hierarchy, or is he too insecure and needs more company?
