It is said that Li Qing and Wang Wensheng entered a dental shop, and their name is Liu Ji Dental Shop. Xuan shopkeeper introduced.

There was an old shopkeeper and a young man in the shop, who greeted them when they saw them and asked the two sons what kind of people they wanted.

Wang Wensheng said: "We want to buy one or two families. “

After a while, the shopkeeper of the Kung Fu Tooth Store took them to the backyard, and the young man brought the three families over.

The first is an old couple with two granddaughters and a grandson. The granddaughter is eighteen, one is sixteen, and the grandson is thirteen. The second family is a couple with two sons and a daughter, a son of twenty-two, one nineteen, and a daughter eighteen. The third family is the father with his son and daughter-in-law grandchildren, the son and daughter-in-law are in their thirties, the grandson is eighteen, and the granddaughter is sixteen.

Li Qing looked at so many people and said, "Tell me why you were sold by the previous family and what will you do?" ”

The first one, the old man said: "The last owner of our family was raided, so the whole family was sold." The son and daughter-in-law died. I used to be in charge of Zhuangzi, and my wife was a housekeeper before, helping my wife with things. The two granddaughters used to be little girls, cleaning up the house and cleaning the yard. The grandson can read and write, and he can follow the young master.

In the second family, the man said: "When the master of the family enters Beijing, all the slaves here are sold." I would drive a carriage to watch the gate and clean the yard. Women can do laundry, cook, and clean the yard. The son has been Xiao Si before, and he can also drive a carriage, so he can serve the young master. My daughter had served the young lady before, and she was good at embroidery. Li Xiao listened to this person's words, and found that the daughter of this family only looked at her, and then her eyes fell on Wang Wensheng. Although it was only a sneak peek, she still saw it.

The third family, the father said: their owner went bankrupt, he used to be a porter, would watch the door and lead the horse, the son used to work in the account room, the daughter-in-law was the kitchen steward before, the grandson was literate, and he used to be a Xiaosi. My granddaughter used to be a little girl, and she would clean up the house and yard.

Li Qing finally decided to have the first and third ones. Wang Wensheng was puzzled, not to mention that Wang Wensheng was puzzled, and everyone else was puzzled. Wang Wensheng means that it is enough to buy a second family. It's too much to buy two at once.

The people of the tooth shop are happy to buy the first one, and the family has been with him for half a year, and no one has bought it. calculated the lowest price and gave it to Li Xiao, and after completing the formalities, Li Xiao left with the two families.

On the way back, except for Zhao Fa and Zhao Xing, Li Qing asked everyone else to sit in the carriage. When the two families saw Li Qing's carriage, their hearts were all over the place, and they didn't know who bought them back. Li Qing's carriage was a flatbed cart and tied to the horse. Eight people still sit on the ground. Li Qing, Wang Wensheng and Zhao Xing walked on the ground. Zhao Fa led the horse away.

At first, none of them sat on it, how could there be a reason for a slave to ride in a carriage and go on the ground of the owner. Li Qing ordered that if you are not obedient, go back to your teeth. The people were frightened, and they obediently obeyed. Wang Wensheng has followed Li Qingshan to the field in the past few years, and his health is very good, and this distance is not a good thing. Zhao Xing is a half-grown kid and doesn't feel tired. Zhao Fa was tired, so he sat on the edge of the carriage and rested while catching the carriage. When you're rested, come down and walk. Li Qing saw him tossing back and forth, so he simply asked him to sit in the carriage and not get down.

Everyone looked at Li Qing and Wang Wensheng very strangely on the way, and at first thought they were brothers, but later found that the big one was called the boss. Wang Wensheng saw the strangeness of everyone and explained: "She is Li Qing, the head of the Li family, and I am the chief housekeeper of the Li family." “

Everyone looked at this boy, who was younger than their own children, and didn't know what to say. It was Li Gui who called the master, and the others reacted and called the master together. Li Gui was originally called Ding Gui, Ding was the surname of the previous master's family, and Li Xiao changed the surname to Li for their family. They are grandfather Li Gui and grandmother Li Chushi, eldest granddaughter Li Guihua, second granddaughter Li Taohua, and grandson Li Cai. The other family is grandfather Zhao Qian, son Zhao Fa, daughter-in-law Zhao Yushi, grandson Zhao Xing, and granddaughter Zhao Lian.

Wang Wensheng asked Li Xiao why he didn't choose a second family. The others also wanted to know, and they all looked at their little master.

Li Qing explained: "If you are willing to marry the girl from the second family, I will agree to buy the second family." Wang Wensheng is the son of Xiucai, and he will never marry a slave daughter-in-law and go home. At that time, he said, I don't want it.

The other two families on the road were all vigilant when they heard Li Qing say this. The old man of their family looked young and his eyes were poisonous enough, and after a while, he could see that the girl was a person who climbed high branches. They had lived together for more than a month, and the girl had very high eyes.

When everyone arrived at Li Qing's mansion, they were all surprised to see such a big family business. thought that his ancestor must be a landlord. But when I looked at the old and new houses, I felt that they were newly built.

After entering Li's house, Li Qing asked Wang Wensheng to be busy, and she arranged everyone's work.

Li Qing said: "You also know just now, I am the head of the Li family, and his name is Wang Wensheng is the housekeeper of the Li family. We are here in the East Cross Courtyard, which is the third room of the Li family. The main courtyard is occupied by a large room, the west courtyard is occupied by a second bedroom, and our third bedroom is separated from the second bedroom of the large house. You'll know why. There are three courtyards in the east courtyard, the northernmost one is called Rongqingtang where I live, now I live alone, and Li Guihua and Li Taohua will live with me in the future. There are two transept rooms on the edge of the garden of Rong Qingtang, one for each of you. To the south is the Qingxiang Pavilion, and now Wensheng lives alone, I hope to see Wensheng as the Li family, he is my brother, you can call him a housekeeper, but his status is definitely more than a housekeeper. I want you to know what to expect. "Everyone didn't know where they were, and along the way, Steward Wang had a housekeeper, he was simply a little brother who followed him. The lord is to the king's housekeeper, that is to his own brother.

Li Xiao saw that everyone listened, and continued: "Zhao Xing, you and Zhao Lian live in the Qingxiang Pavilion. There are two houses at the three-story instrument gate, one is where Li Gui and your husband live, and the other is where Zhao Fa and your husband live. Zhao Qian, you live in the gatehouse of the black oil gate, and the gate of Li Qing's house will be handed over to you in the future. There are five concierges over there, so you can choose which one you want. Our Li family has floor heating and wall heating, so you don't have to worry about the house being cold in winter. All the houses are there, including yours. To the south of the Qingxiang Pavilion is the outer study, which is inhabited by the long-term workers and craftsmen of the Li Qing family. They are all unmarried men, and it is better for your own girls not to go there. Zhao Fa, you will follow Wensheng to manage Li Qing's account in the future. You have to remember that sometimes when I say the Li family, I mean the entire Li family, and if I am talking about the Li Qing family, I am referring to the East Cross Courtyard. Zhao Yu's family, you are in charge of Li Qing's kitchen. Li Gui, you take Zhao Xing to manage Li Qing's study outside his house. Li Chu's family, you take Osmanthus Peach Blossom and Zhao Lian to take care of Li Qing's cleaning and food, and also wash my clothes and Wensheng's clothes. The Li family had no descendants before, you are the first batch, and from today onwards, the Li Qing family will trouble you. ”

Everyone was busy saying that they didn't dare to take the trouble of the master. Li Gui asked Li Cai? It is said that Li Cai can also do things.

Li Xiao said: "Li Cai will be taken away tomorrow, and in the future, he will live in the village on the mountain, where there are many children, and they can play in one place." “

Li Cai was very reluctant to leave his family, but he didn't dare to say it. I can only admit it. The rest of the Li Gui family didn't dare to say anything, and they were already very grateful that the master could buy their family.
