After a day, Zhou Mingrui got up a little early, because yesterday the master had a job to ask him to do, so he went into the various rooms and called up the little guys who were still sleeping, his house is a small yard, but there are also 5 houses, according to the evaluation of the master when he first arrived at his house, the ancestors of this family have also been wide.
Now Zhou Mingrui himself sleeps in the east wing, and the other three wings are full of those little guys, and now there are a total of 14 little guys in the house, and there were only two beds in the house, so he had to borrow a few bed boards from the surrounding neighbors, plus a few benches at home, and finally built two more beds.
Now these beds are covered with straw mats, but they are covered with two pieces of cyan cloth sewn cloth covers, according to the old man's words, it is a bed sheet, at that time the old man also ordered to buy a white one, fortunately he persuaded himself, this white bed sheet, is that a good time to use, if this person lies on it, he feels so panicked.
Children are always good to sleep, especially yesterday also gave a hot bath, that is so loose, that is even more fragrant sleep, when Zhou Mingrui called up, but also one by one sleepy-eyed, really rubbing his eyes, see that Zhou housekeeper out of the gang, only to hurriedly make a fuss and hug up, everyone is naked in the shoes, in the quilt, or to the bamboo pole outside the room to grab the clothes that have been dried after washing yesterday and this morning to wear on the body, like a fly with a messy head.
After a while, I heard Steward Zhou shouting outside the door, "All up, all up, you all hurry up to this yard", after saying that, he shouted a few times, those who couldn't lie down on the bed were also dragged up by some older children, or acquaintances, and good children, "If you don't get up again, the white wolf will come in", and suddenly those children were like being poured cold water in the winter, "Huo" jumped up all of a sudden, and those older ones continued to teach, "Although it is to the new master's house, This old man seems to be kind, but if you are lazy, I am afraid that there will be a whip waiting for you, and it will not mean that everyone will still be tired."
So, the little guys walked to the yard one after another, although the yard is not big, but those sundries and some of the items in the original wing room were thrown into the sandwich road on both sides of the living room under the command of Zhou Mingrui yesterday, so the dozen or so people who stood seemed a little spacious.
Zhou Mingrui stood in front of these people and said, "You guys, according to what the master said yesterday, there is a line in every room."
After hearing this, those children scurried around for a while, and finally reluctantly stood in the third row under the attention of Zhou Mingrui's eyes, with tall and short ones side by side in the middle, Zhou Mingrui pointed to the second row, and reprimanded, "Lu He, how did you arrange it, didn't the master say yesterday that you want you to go from high to low, why don't you rearrange it for me."
After they were all lined up, Zhou Mingrui wanted to learn from those old men to speak, so he cleared his accent twice, "Yesterday, the master was kind and bought you all from Ma Ye, gave you delicious food, gave you good clothes, and saw if you ate well yesterday, there is white rice, vegetables, and that meat, have you ever eaten like this at Ma Ye's house"?
Seeing that Zhou Mingrui stopped talking but stopped to look at them, some clever children immediately understood, and some immediately said, "Where is Master Ma willing to give us white rice", some said, "It can only be eaten thanks to the blessing of Master Ma and Steward Zhou", some slowed down, and when they saw what others said, they immediately followed suit, and the scene was a little chaotic.
Zhou Mingrui waited until they were all finished, and then pressed his hands to signal them to stop, "It's good for you to know the way, the master is dedicated to goodness, but I want to help the master take care of this family, so you all have to abide by the rules in the future, abide by the rules, and everyone's food in the future will be like yesterday, if you don't keep it, then don't blame Zhou's subordinates for being ruthless", after speaking, he pulled out a one-finger-wide bamboo strip from behind him, and raised it.
When the children saw that the bamboo strip did not look as scary as the white wolf's whip with water in the Ma family, it was estimated that it would hurt a lot to draw it on their bodies, so they quickly shouted, "The little ones must obey the rules."
"Okay, it's good to know that the Dao obeys the rules, in the future, the days will be long, and you will all know how good the Lord of the Dao is to you", Zhou Mingrui is now enjoying this kind of scene of shouting in front of people, and his heart is happy, secretly thinking, fortunately he had the strength of his eyes yesterday, and immediately took the time to kneel down and kowtow to the old man three times, begging the old man to really accept himself as a slave and let the old man go
The master didn't react in a hurry, and even said, why are you so hard, why are you suffering, I just accept it, and after speaking, I pulled myself up, and I felt that the master had so much strength, and he was worthy of being a fairy.
No, the lord immediately made himself a housekeeper, and his salary rose by 2 taels of silver, reaching 6 taels of silver a month, he was very satisfied, the only thing is that the lord often has some fresh words that will come out, Zhou Mingrui feels that he may not be able to remember.
Zhou Mingrui pulled back his idea of running away, thinking that he was about to complete a few other things that the master had explained, and yesterday the master patted him on the shoulder before leaving, and said to him, do a good job, I am optimistic about you, just wave your sleeves to go back to the fairy world for a few days, that words, that look, made Zhou Mingrui's eyes red, and he almost wanted to take out his heart to show his loyalty, and his heart said that the things that the master confessed must be handled well no matter what.
The three columns lined up by the children were widened by Zhou Mingrui with the bamboo sticks, and then he pointed to the three people in front of the row and said, "Ah Niu, Lu He, fat head, the three of you will follow me to the room to get some things, and the rest of you will stand here."
After saying that, he turned around and went to the living room, and the three children who were ordered were all at the front of the line, so they all answered and followed. In the living room, they found Steward Zhou standing in front of a pile of small wooden basins, and on the square table there were some new towels and a bunch of brushing teeth, and on the other side there was a large wooden basin on the ground, with some wooden cups, wooden bowls and bamboo chopsticks in the middle of the wooden basin.
"Come, each of you now take two small wooden basins, and then take a towel, a brushing tooth, two wooden cups, a wooden bowl, and a pair of chopsticks", Zhou Mingrui pointed to the pile of things and said, and the three of them did as he said, "You take these things out of your hands now, give them to them, and then come back to get them."
