Therefore, she selfishly wanted to borrow some modern ship modifications and buy a seagoing ship for refit.

If fishermen can go out to sea to fish in new fishing boats, they may be able to save their lives in the face of Japanese people or storms. Therefore, as soon as I heard that the Peng family would repair and drive the ship, I was moved.

In addition, the children in these two families, Mei Yixuan looks quite smart, so he will be the first to determine the two of them.

These two families together, there are seventeen people, which makes Aunt Zheng secretly happy.

After that, Mei Yixuan selected twenty big maids, forty little maids, and twenty rough mothers-in-law. Choose a clever and safe first-class maid from among these people as a personal servant.

Others, second-class maids, third-class maids, and rough maids, depending on their respective performances.

The mothers-in-law who washed, sprinkled and cleaned, ported, helped the cook, took charge of the punishment, went out to serve, etc., would be selected from the twenty rough mothers-in-law.

In addition, he also bought twenty young servants between the ages of five and fifteen, among these people, except for Mei Shengjie's selection of small servants and long-term followers, the rest of them are spare escort candidates, and those who really have no talent for learning martial arts are arranged to listen to orders in the mansion and run errands for those stewards.

In addition to these, Mei Yixuan also bought twenty strong men, all of whom were between twenty and forty years old, and would use them to work in the mansion and the grange outside.

Among these people, there are several families, the men are in the strong men, the women are in the mother-in-law, and the children are some in the small maid and some in the maid.

This time, there were seven or eight children under the age of four in these families, and none of them were among the people who signed the deed, and Mei Yixuan did not plan to sign the deed of deed for them, which could be regarded as leaving some thoughts for these families.

This time to buy people, Mei Yixuan signed all the death deeds, unless the master is specially gracious, otherwise they will be slaves for life, and they are cheap.

I have to say that this kind of system in ancient times was really sad for the people at the bottom!

They signed the death contract, which is equivalent to selling the lives of the whole family, and the master can be beaten, scolded, bought and sold or even executed at will, without any room for resistance, even the government will be the master of the family. Future generations have no chance to get out, even if you have the ability to reach the sky, you can't show it.

Mei Yixuan still signed the death deed out of multiple considerations, this is the general environment of this dynasty, she can't compete, and that's why she let go of those younger children.

Mei Yixuan and Aunt Zheng settled the silver, one hundred and nineteen people, and spent a total of more than five hundred taels of silver.

Aunt Zheng smiled happily, and said in a loud voice, next time there is a need, Mei Yixuan will definitely be satisfied.

Those who were not selected followed Aunt Zheng with gloomy expressions, and looked at Mei Yixuan reluctantly before leaving, hoping that she would change her mind.

Mei Yixuan ignored the gaze of those people, and from among the people she bought, she selected a young man named Lu Baochun to be the steward of the house.

Lu Baochun is twenty years old this year, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is also very tall, he has worked as a housekeeper in the original owner's house before, has no father and no mother, his ex-wife died due to dystocia, and he has a two-year-old daughter with him.

Mei Yixuan saw his daughter standing timidly close to Lu Baochun, her little hands tightly gripping her father's pants, and trying her best to stand up straight. The little person is very sensitive and very intelligent, trying to raise her little head, looking at Mei Yixuan curiously with big eyes, seeing Mei Yixuan looking over, she lowered her head shyly, leaned on her father's thigh, and twisted her head.

Lu Baochun looked at her daughter lovingly, looked at Mei Yixuan with some apologies and said, "I'm sorry for the eldest son, the little girl······ The daughter of the slave is a little timid. ”

Mei Yixuan tried to soften herself, she smiled and said to Lu Baochun: "You have also seen that our house has not officially moved in, and many things have not been purchased yet." You need to go out and buy what you need now, and try to get everything in place before dark. ”

Lu Baochun immediately bowed solemnly and responded: "Yes! Don't worry, the minions will definitely handle all the things." ”

said, looked down at his daughter, and said softly: "Nannan, Daddy has something to go out, you have to have fun with Grandma Guo, okay?"

Xiao Nannan pursed her lips a little aggrieved, but she still obediently ran towards Chen Agen's wife Guo Shi, shouting "Grandma Guo" in her mouth, which was not strange at all.

Guo Shi walked out of the crowd, kindly picked up the little maid, and explained to Mei Yixuan humbly: "Eldest son, her father used to work in the same house with the slave maid, so she is very familiar with the slave maid. ”

As he spoke, he kissed Xiao Nan with a gloomy expression and retreated into the crowd.

Mei Yixuan nodded, signaling that she understood. Then he took out a thousand taels of silver tickets from his arms, and handed Lu Baochun the list of things needed in the mansion that Feifeng had counted, as well as the bedding, clothes, shoes and socks of nearly 200 people in the mansion. Instructed a strong man named Xu Daniu, who had worked as a coachman, to drive the car, let Zhang Yi follow, and went out to buy.

Mei Yixuan then chose six big girls, and renamed them snow lotus, ginkgo seeds, kapok, sunflower, peach, and jade bamboo, respectively, and the others also used their original names to register and make records.

The six big girls selected by Mei Yixuan were all educated and literate, and the matter of registering people's names was handed over to Xuelian and Baiguo. After that, she made an assignment of personnel.

Twenty strong men except for those who have families live in the lower rooms at the back, the rest of the people temporarily live in the lower rooms at the east and west ends of the gate, and two people are arranged to guard the door by the way. How to arrange the rest of the people will wait for Lu Baochun to come back.

Because Lu Baochun was the steward of the house, he was arranged in a subordinate room in the outer courtyard. Considering that his daughter was still young, he temporarily asked Nan Nan to follow Guo during the day and live with her father at night, and arranged a small servant named Ah Bao for Lu Baochun. The Guo family has three or four children, who happen to be accompanied by Xiao Nannan.

There are eight families with families, and there are three families with small families like Chen Agen's family. Therefore, Mei Yixuan thought about it for a while, and arranged the Chen family in the three small courtyards of the lower room behind the four courtyards, and Chen Agen, Guo and his wife, Chen Nianzu, and Chen Jizu each occupied a small courtyard.

The father and son of the Chen family temporarily led the errand of tending to the flowers and plants in the courtyard, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Chen family were temporarily arranged in the large and small kitchens, the Guo family was in the small kitchen, and Zhou Cailian was in the large kitchen.

Only two small servants were arranged in the outer courtyard to be responsible for sprinkling and cleaning, and they lived in the west wing. When the younger brother is older, let him move into the outer courtyard and allocate the corresponding manpower.

Mei Yixuan plans to let her younger brother live in the third courtyard, her mother in the fourth courtyard, and herself in the second courtyard. The front and back courtyards are connected, and every day she and her younger brother go to the Sijin courtyard where her mother lives to eat, enjoying the joy of family together.
