Chapter 142: Assignment of Tasks
"As you can see, our family is just a small family. There are not many rules, but there are not many things to do. ”
Meng Zhen held the teacup and said to everyone gently but majesticly: "My requirements for you are very simple, loyalty, diligence, and keep your mouth shut. ”
"Of course, on the other hand, I will also give you enough monthly money and benefits to match your payment."
As soon as Meng Hao's words fell, Sister-in-law Deng, the only one who had worked as a domestic servant, had already curtsied and bowed, showing her loyalty, "But with the master's dispatch, the slave and maid must do their best." ”
Others: ...... I didn't react at all.
Sister-in-law Deng, who had no desire to be in the limelight at all, was suddenly embarrassed: ...... It's over, and it's a rafter that comes out.
Meng Hao couldn't help laughing, "Sister-in-law Deng is exempt." The others didn't stare at her, she was in the habit she had developed before. ”
Only then did everyone retract their gaze, and Sister-in-law Deng couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief - fortunately, the new master is a kind-hearted person.
When they met for the first time, Meng Zhen was able to help her, who was a subordinate, to play a round game, which made Sister-in-law Deng's heart feel a little less uneasy.
Just thinking about it, I heard Meng Hao ask her, "Sister-in-law Deng, Aunt Jiang said that you can do all the work outside the house, so you should be able to cook too, right?" ”
"Yes." Sister-in-law Deng nodded, "Why don't you make a few specialty dishes for you to try at noon?" ”
"Then you will first make a meat dish, two vegetarian dishes, then steam a drawer of Sanhe noodle steamed buns, and cook a pot of millet porridge. Go now, and prepare for the weight of nine. ”
This is what Meng Zhen prepared for the people in the family to eat, and the few people she bought back were basically from a hard background, and they were not well fed and clothed for a long time, so that their bodies and bones were somewhat lacking, so Meng Zhen planned to give them a little better food and let them make up for their bodies.
Sister-in-law Deng replied "yes", "Then the slave maid will go to the stove room now?" ”
"Go ahead." Meng Hao pointed out the location of the stove room to her, "The door is not locked, you can just go in by yourself." ”
Sister-in-law Deng answered "yes" again, and then slowly withdrew from the main house.
"Sister-in-law Guo will be in charge of cleaning, laundry and other chores for the time being, and Sister-in-law Li will serve my master in the future."
Before Meng Hao's words fell, Sister-in-law Guo was already nervous, she didn't understand why Sister-in-law Li got a long-term job, but she was sent a temporary task by the master's family.
The ups and downs and injustices of life for a long time make Sister-in-law Guo can't help but be nervous and afraid whenever she gets a little troubled.
She didn't dare to ask Meng Hao, but her nervous look full of fear and worry was all seen by Meng Hao.
Meng Hao didn't understand what Sister-in-law Guo was nervous about and afraid of, she glanced at Sister-in-law Guo, and then decided to wait a while and leave her alone to ask.
"Zhao Damei, Sun Daya... Forget it, I'd better change your name first. ”
"Zhao Damei will be called hibiscus in the future, Sun Daya will be renamed hosta, and Zhou Jiajia will be renamed Begonia. There are also a few of you who are small servants, Qi Saburo changed his name to Cedar, Feng Shouli changed his name to Yinshan, and Begonia's younger brother changed his name to Holly. ”
"Silver fir and holly should be recuperated, and when the doctor says that the body is healed, I will send work to the two of you."
"As for the others. Cedar, you will follow Su Gongzi in the future, he is a talented man in this year's new examination, and he will continue to participate in the imperial examination in the future, so you had better follow along to read some books and recognize some words. ”
The original Qi Saburo, the current little girl Cedar has a straight waist, "Yes, the villain must be well-read." ”
He will be a great steward in the future, how can he be illiterate?
It is rare that the Lord is willing to give him the opportunity to read and write, and of course he must seize the opportunity and learn his skills well.
Meng Hao nodded at him, and seeing that Yinshan (that is, Feng Shouli) was anxious, Meng Zhen thought for a while, "Yinshan, you and Holly are ready to be arranged by my younger brother and me, he is three years younger than you, and now he is studying in a private school in the county seat." In the past, I used to pick him up and drop him off from school, but from now on, this will be you and Holly's business. ”
Yinshan breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, the villain thanks the girl for cultivating." ”
To be able to continue to read and write, this is Yinshan's dream, he didn't know that Meng Zhen also had a younger brother, so when he heard Meng Zhen say that he would only send Cedar to Master Xiucai, Yinshan immediately became anxious.
- Although he has now been reduced to the point of being a subordinate, he has never thought to forget the misfortunes that have befallen him, and all those misfortunes have been brought to him by his vicious stepmother.
Yes, he still thought that when he grew up and had the ability, he would try to go back and get revenge on his vicious stepmother.
So, what does it take for him to be capable?
In addition to reading and studying, Yinshan can't think of any other way.
Meng Hao doesn't know anything about this child's thoughts, guess eight. Nine is not far from ten, but it is still no problem.
Even because this child is quite similar to her in personality - similar ones will take revenge, similar ones refuse to accept their fate, Meng Hao secretly decided that she would help him within her ability.
She said to Yinshan: "My brother is not only studying, but he is also practicing martial arts every day, if you have the heart, I can teach you too." ”
Silver Fir was stunned.
He couldn't help but think, if he knew martial arts at the beginning, then wouldn't it be so easy for his backslashing lady to tie him up and smuggle him out of the house?
And as long as he can make things bigger, then his vicious stepmother will definitely be under pressure and will not dare to do anything to him easily.
Even if he was strong enough, he could beat all the maids and wives in their family who listened to his stepmother's orders to the point that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen.
As long as he thought of that picture, Yinshan couldn't control his blood boiling.
He shook Meng Zhen to the end, "The villain wants to learn, and he asks the girl to teach." ”
Cedar suddenly felt stressed when she heard this, "Girl, the villain also wants to learn, can you also piggyback on the villain?" ”
Seeing him smiling with a flattering face, Meng Hao couldn't help laughing, and she said to a few of her maids: "Yes." As long as you want to learn, whether it is studying or practicing martial arts, I can provide you with conditions. ”
When Haitang heard this, he immediately took a step forward, "Girl, the slave wants to learn." ”
Her thoughts were similar to those of Yinshan, and the little girl felt that if she knew martial arts in the first place, then she and her brother would not have been unscrupulously sold to people by those uncles.
In the future, she wants to rely on her true skills to protect her master, who is so kind to her, and her only blood relative in this world, her younger brother.
"Count yourself in." Meng Zhen threw a look full of appreciation at Haitang, and the little girl immediately closed her mouth happily.
With Begonia as an example, Hibiscus and Hosta also successively said that they would also follow the study and practice martial arts.
Hibiscus really wants to learn, although she is silent, but she has a plan in her heart.
And the hosta is simply not a minority, this girl was tortured by her shrewd aunt, and she was really a little timid and timid.
