After traveling through time, I married the prince by signing in

Chapter 4 Buying a New Servant

The East Courtyard is the main courtyard, a large four-courtyard building with a garden backyard.

The South Courtyard and the West Courtyard are both small courtyards. After passing the hanging flower gate, you will reach the courtyard, with east and west wing rooms on the left and right, the main house and the ear rooms, forming a standard quadrangle courtyard style.

The North Courtyard is smaller than the East Courtyard, but much larger than the South and West Courtyards. It is a three-courtyard complex.

Yuanman thought about it and moved into the main house in the east courtyard.

She is the owner of this house, so it is normal for her to live in the east courtyard.

I walked into the main house in the east courtyard and looked at the furnishings inside, secretly surprised.

She originally thought it was just an empty house, but she didn't expect it to be filled with everything except personal belongings.

When Granny Liu came back with the human trafficker, she originally wanted to go to the North Courtyard, but after thinking it over, she went to the East Courtyard.

Seeing Yuan Man sitting in the hall, he couldn't help but get anxious, "Ah Man, why don't you take a rest?"

Yuan Man smiled and said, "I just got up after taking a rest."

Looking at the man behind the old lady, he asked, "What's your name?"

Ren Yazi immediately stepped forward and saluted, saying, "My humble servant Hu Zhi, everyone calls me Hu Yazi, you can call me whatever you want."

"Okay, then I'll call you Hu Yazi too. Who are the people you have under your control?"

Hu Yazi asked with a smile, "What's your name, young lady? What kind of person do you want?"

Yuan Man thought for a moment and said, "You can call me Madam Yuan."

"You've seen it since you came in. My house is quite empty, so naturally I need everyone from housekeepers to maids."

Hu Yazi's eyes lit up. This was a big deal.

This disaster year has just passed, and he has oppressed many people.

"All."

"Miss, I recently recruited a group of people from a mansion. I wonder if you are interested?"

Yuan Man raised his eyes and looked at him, "Oh, maybe he is from a criminal's family, then I dare not accept him."

Hu Yazi hesitated for a moment and said, "They came from the Guanglu Dafu Mansion."

"This Guanglu Doctor was dismissed by Your Majesty because of his stubborn advice, so he is not a criminal."

"The only trouble is that this Guanglu doctor has offended the Marquis of Yongxing."

"These people have also offended Marquis Yongxing?" Even the Grand Master of Imperial Households sold people, so Marquis Yongxing doesn't allow people to buy them?

One advantage of buying this kind of person who has work experience is that you don’t have to be taught from scratch, you can get started right away.

But she has no background and does not understand certain etiquette regulations, so naturally she needs someone who understands to do it.

Anyone who comes from the Guanglu Temple must be familiar with the etiquette and regulations.

Hu Yazi shook his head. "That's not the case. Some people are just afraid that the Marquis of Yongxing will make a fuss about it."

"Aren't you afraid?"

Hu Yazi smiled and shook his head.

Yuan Man raised his lips and said, "Then bring the person here for me to take a look. If he is suitable, he can stay."

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll go and bring the person over." Hu Yazi said and walked out.

Granny Liu stood beside Yuan Man without saying a word since the beginning of their conversation. After Hu Yazi left, she asked, "Will this cause trouble for the master?"

Yuan Man was stunned for a moment before he said, "No."

There is no need to worry about trouble if someone does not exist.

In just an incense stick of time, Hu Yazi came back with his men.

"Miss, these are all the people, including the housekeeper and the nanny, a total of 26 people."

Yuan Man nodded and looked around and said, "I am just an ordinary citizen. I will pay you the monthly allowance as before. If you are willing to stay, please step forward."

The housekeeper had been secretly sizing up the very thin girl in front of him since he came in. It was no exaggeration to say that she was as skinny as a stick, but her eyes were very sharp.

Their clothes were even stranger, not as decent as theirs.

He had been a butler for half his life and had met many people, but he could not understand the person in front of him at all.

The butler thought for a moment and took a step forward.

He chose to stay because he felt that staying in this kind of master's house would be more comfortable than staying in the houses of those dignitaries.

Even in the house of a noble, no matter how powerful he is, he is just a butler. Although he may have more face in public, what's the use?

It's not strict. You may be sold out or beaten to death at any time.

But these hosts are different, they are less strict and softer-hearted.

Seeing him step forward, many people followed suit, most of them were his relatives and confidants, only a dozen people on the left did not move.

They look like a family.

Yuan Man looked at those who were willing to stay and said, "There are no strict requirements for serving in my house. The only requirement is to do your job well and keep your mouth shut. Those who betray me will be executed directly and will never be forgiven."

"If you can do it, step forward."

Everyone took another step forward.

Yuan Man nodded and looked at Hu Yazi, "How much do you want to pay for these people to stay?"

Hu Yazi looked around and picked out the indentures of these people and said, "Fifteen people. The housekeeper and several maids will be more expensive..."

Yuan Man interrupted with his hand: "No need to say so much, just tell me how much silver it is."

"Uh, a total of one hundred and seventy-three taels." Hu Yazi said as he placed the indenture in front of her.

Yuan Man took a quick look, took out the silver and put it on the table, "No need to change the extra money, go back."

Hu Yazi grinned with his big white teeth and said, "Thank you for the reward, young lady."

That's seven taels of silver more. This customer is really generous.

After he and the rest of the people left, Yuan Man looked at the butler and said, "Please introduce them."

The housekeeper immediately stepped forward and said, "My surname is Li, Li Zhong, and this is my wife, Lin."

"This is my eldest son Li Cheng and my daughter-in-law Guan."

"The second son, Li Ke, the daughter-in-law, Lin, and the grandchildren."

"The eldest son was originally an accountant, and the eldest daughter-in-law served the lady."

"The second son is..."

According to the introduction of housekeeper Li, Yuan Man looked at them one by one and finally chose Lin and two maids, Hongxiu and Tianxiang, for himself.

Then I asked the old lady to choose two by herself, and she chose Qingzhu and Cuilan.

We’ll talk about the rest after Xiaoyaer and the others come back in the evening.

Li Cheng is still the accountant, and Li Ke is in charge of purchasing.

Yuanman was not afraid that they would embezzle the money, as long as she didn't catch them.

"Butler Li, please go to the management office to register the newcomers and get a badge. Then ask the people from the clothing shop and the silver shop to come over. We just arrived and have a lot of things to buy."

"Oh, and help me find a clean wet nurse. She only needs to nurse the child for a year and then I can let her go home."

Butler Li bowed his head and responded, "Yes, I will do it right away."

Yuan Man thought for a moment and said, "Butler Li, your grandchildren are not young anymore. If you do good and are loyal, you can give them a grace and let them be free so that they can take part in the imperial examination."

"No matter what their future results are, as long as they pass the exam and become officials, I will give you freedom."

"If I find out that you have evil intentions, then there will be only one fate for you, and that is to go to a mass grave."

Butler Li looked at the master in front of him with shining eyes, and knelt down with trembling hands, "Thank you for your grace, master. I will definitely not let you down."

This is the grace of rebirth.

If the master does not release the people, then their descendants will be slaves for generations to come.

His choice was indeed correct; this master was kind-hearted.

"Okay, let's get to work." Yuan Man is not a kind-hearted person. She is just using both kindness and force.

After all, she still has tasks to do and will go out anytime and anywhere.

The benefits of winning over a steward's true love are naturally numerous.

"By the way, go ask around where you can buy food, mainly rice. It's okay if it's a little more expensive. Just buy more."

After Wuman finished speaking, he took out three hundred taels of silver and gave it to him.

Butler Li quickly bowed and accepted it.
