Lu Baochun was a little excited to take the five thousand taels of silver tickets from Bi Tao's hand, and nodded in agreement.

He didn't expect that the young master, who was still a little immature, would be so generous, and he would hand out clothes to everyone as soon as he entered the mansion. He was also worried that Mei Yixuan was too young to think of this, so he was worried in vain.

Bi Tao and Yuzhu were also a little excited, and the two glanced at each other, their eyes flashing with excitement.

Mei Yixuan continued: "The monthly silver in the house is also set, the old lady's monthly is fifty taels, the second young master's is twenty taels, my thirty taels, the chief steward of the inner and outer courtyards is two taels per month, the small steward and the eldest maid are one tael of silver, the porter, the mother-in-law, and the second-class maid are all 800 wen; the third-class maid is 500 wen; there is no third class yet, and I will raise it later to see the performance, the rough maid and the sprinkler sweeper are 300 wen; the embroidery lady in the needlework room is 800 wen, if the embroidery work is outstanding, it will be adjusted appropriately." The little maid next to the second young master is one or two pieces of silver, the gardener who cares for the flowers and plants is eight hundred wen, and the guards ······ All of them were five taels of silver. These are all temporary, and when the government makes money in the future, it will gradually increase the monthly rule for everyone, and it will not be this rule forever. ”

After finishing speaking, he thought for a while and added: "Yao family, Master Yao and Old Lady Yao have ten taels per month, Mrs. Yao is eight taels, the eldest lady of the Yao family is also eight taels, Young Master Yao and Miss Yao are both five taels of silver, and the ancestors and grandsons of the Yang family, Yang Lao is ten taels of silver, and Young Master Yang is five taels of silver. When the two families arrived, they were placed in the courtyard of Sanjin on the west side, and they had to arrange for big and small maids, rough maids-in-law, cooks, sprinklers, porters, carriages, coachmen, and so on.

After Chunlan comes, you can discuss it with her and send it later, and you will be wronged by everyone in the past few days. However, if anyone needs money urgently, they will let me know if they are inconvenient, and I will find a way. Also, if the five thousand taels of silver are not enough to ask me, if there is anything left, keep it in the account. When this purchase is completed, you come again, I will entrust the money in my hand to the account, and you will deal directly with the bookkeeper in the future. However, expenses above 100 taels must be approved by me before they can be billed. ”

Lu Baochun listened to Mei Yixuan very carefully, rubbed his hands, and said a little shyly: "Young Master, the slave needs to remember it, otherwise the slave will not be able to remember." ”

Mei Yixuan smiled and ordered: "Bi Tao brought a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to Steward Lu and asked him to write it down in the study." ”

Lu Baochun went to the study under the leadership of Bi Tao.

Yuzhu looked at Mei Yixuan and stopped talking, and swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Mei Yixuan glanced at her and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yuzhu hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Young Master, why don't you arrange for your little servant to be served?"

Every time Mei Yixuan takes a bath, she washes it by herself, maybe because of the difference between men and women, she doesn't want to call the maids, but it doesn't make sense if she doesn't arrange a small maid!

Mei Yixuan smiled and said, "You will understand the matter of the little guy in the future, now, you don't need it!"

At this time, Bi Tao came out of the study, and Lu Baochun followed behind.

Mei Yixuan asked in surprise: "It's been written so quickly?"

Lu Baochun said embarrassedly: "Where can the slave be so fast? The slave uses the stupid method of the slave, only the slave understands, and I will copy it in detail when I go back." ”

After speaking, he bowed to Mei Yixuan, and hurriedly went out to buy.

After Yuzhu and Bi Tao were left in the house, Mei Yixuan looked at them and said, "You two and I will do a division of labor, Yuzhu is in charge of my belongings, jewelry, clothes, shoes and socks, and Bi Tao is responsible for my diet and the little maid in the yard." If I have something to do, you must take care of the yard for me, and don't make any mistakes. ”

"Yes! The slave obeys!" Yuzhu and Bitao were very happy.

Yuzhu is careful, steady, intelligent, and cautious, and keeps her belongings, jewelry, clothes, etc., which is just right for her character.

Bi Tao is simple, honest and serious, and it is just right to be responsible for the meal. And Bi Tao is not honest without principles and bottom line, but honest with a little cunning, with affinity, easy to communicate with the little maids, because of the identity of the big maid, no one dares to underestimate it.

Actually, Mei Yixuan's things are really not much, and the most she has is medicinal materials, which are all in the space, and it is not suitable to take them out.

She plans to ask Lu Baochun to add everything that needs to be added to the house tomorrow. For example: grain, cloth in various seasons, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea and other daily necessities, etc.

Now the storeroom is not empty, there are a lot of bulky furniture, ornaments, screens, pots and pans, etc., which are all left over from the original owner. But the valuable jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings are gone, and the murderer must have snatched them by the way.

Some things can be bought with money, and some things may not be bought with money. Therefore, Mei Yixuan can only add it slowly.

Two days later, everything in the house was basically on the right track, and Lu Baochun really exercised the authority of the chief steward, and the things that should be purchased were basically purchased. The subordinates all performed their duties and gradually adapted to their own errands, and the slightly impetuous hearts of the people in the house gradually settled down.

It's just that if you want to buy ice but have nowhere to buy it, Lu Baochun asked many places, but there is no one to sell ice.

The summer in the south is hot and rainy, and the sultry weather is the majority, and this year is especially evil, it has entered September, and it is still very hot. Most of the ice cubes here are bought from the north in winter and stored in ice cellars, and there are ice shops that deal in ice cubes, which have long been purchased by some large families in the city.

Lu Baochun couldn't help it, although the eldest young master didn't reprimand him for being ineffective, nor did he ask for ice, although there is a master in the mansion now, but in two days, the old lady and the second young master came, how can the house be able to cool down without ice?

Therefore, he was so anxious that he sent people out every day to inquire where there was ice for sale, no matter how expensive it was, buy it first.

Mei Yixuan, Feifeng, and Zhang Yi have been very busy in the past two days, and they didn't pay attention to what Lu Baochun was busy with.

Feifeng and Zhang Yi were with the maids and servants in the backyard every day, training them, and found a few good seedlings from them.

Mei Yixuan was not idle, she got up at five o'clock in the morning, washed up and went to the backyard to conduct morning exercises for Wu Xin, Zheng Ximei and other twelve people.

After breakfast, dealing with the things in the house, I taught them the literacy Wu Xin, Zheng Ximei, Jiang Hai, Li Lei, medical and nursing knowledge, and the illiterate Guo Aniu, Ye Acai, Zhuang Axiang, Zhang Shanxing, Wang Ahua, Zeng Zhaodi, Lin Ajiao, Fu Sheng, taught them literacy, let them learn ten words every day, and write ten big characters silently.
