Zhang Yu took Xuan'er into the account room, and there was only one bookkeeper inside.

"Lao Liu, are you busy?" Zhang Ji looked at the bookkeeper pointedly, this bookkeeper was actually a few years older than Zhang Ji, but Zhang Ji still didn't pay attention to him, let alone respect him.

"Not busy, not busy! How can Steward Zhang have the leisure to hang out here? Today doesn't seem to be the end of the month, haha!" Despite Zhang Yu's attitude, Lao Liu still had to say some polite words.

"Then you take the ** as a contract, there is a little girl here who wants to come to our Zhang Mansion to do things. Zhang Ji went straight to the point, he didn't have time to ask Lao Liu for warmth.

"Do things, hmm...... Oh! Wait a minute. Lao Liu inadvertently glanced at Xuan'er, but Xuan'er still saw a trace of sympathy and worry in his eyes.

Lao Liu turned around and walked into the room behind him, and after a while, he took a piece of paper and walked out, and said to Xuan'er:

"We in Zhangfu are based on a ten-year cycle, and after ten years, you can leave, or continue to stay in Zhangfu, but you need to sign a new agreement. One day a month, you will be asked to go home to see your family, and if you don't want to go back, you can add it up. However, if you exceed the upper limit of May, if you do not return home for five consecutive months, the following months will not be accumulated. ”

"As for work, there is a three-month probationary period. The salary is: 50 wen for the first month, 70 wen for the second month, and 100 wen for the third month. As soon as the probationary period expires, you can officially become the subordinate of Zhangfu, and the treatment will definitely be better than the probationary period. The salary has risen to 120 yuan, not to mention, and ten buckets of rice will be given every month for you to bring to your family, of course, this rice can also be accumulated, but there is no upper limit. Lao Liu smiled slightly, I'm afraid that this condition is not something that big family can open. But Lao Liu didn't see a trace of joy or surprise in Xuan'er's eyes, which made him a little disappointed. Is there anything better than this?

"Don't worry, this probationary period is only used to hone you, after all, you won't do any work at the beginning, and if you get the same salary, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among other subordinates, so you don't need to worry too much. Our Zhang Mansion will not easily drive away the next person, by the way, like the old lady, or the reward given by the young lady is not included in the salary, as long as you are diligent enough and clever enough, this reward is indispensable. ”

"Little girl, is there anything you don't understand? If not, just put a handprint on this piece of paper. After Lao Liu finished talking about the content of the contract, he directly entered the last step of signing the agreement.

"There's nothing I don't understand, thank you, Uncle Accounting, is this painting in this position?" Xuan'er said, pointing to the blank space in the contract.

"Hmm. Lao Liu nodded, it seems that he still likes this clever little girl.

"Remember, don't call me Uncle in the future, this is not a neighbor, the most taboo is what relationship is between the subordinates, in the future you will call me Mr. Bookkeeper like other subordinates. However, the number of times we have met is only a handful, and I may have forgotten about it. ”

"Got it, thank you for your teachings. Xuan'er handed the contract with the handprint to Lao Liu and bowed to express her gratitude.

"Okay, Lao Liu put away the contract, and Xuan'er came with me. Zhang Ji, who had been watching everything coldly, finally opened his mouth, this scene had been seen many times in the years he had been a housekeeper.

After Zhang Ji finished speaking, he left with Xuan'er, and Lao Liu looked at the backs of the two of them and shook his head helplessly.

——————

Xiao Yi was in a corner at the entrance of Zhang's mansion, and after seeing Xuan'er talking with the two doormen, he was taken in and knew that Xuan'er was basically fine, and then turned around and left, walking towards a pier by the river.

Located at the head of the river in Suzhou, the exterior wall is made of red brush, with two gates and three giant pillars. The statue of the human teacher at the entrance is carved out of marble, guarding the building on the left and right. Walking into the building, there are more than 100 people in it who have been shuttling in various rooms, going in and out, busy, and no one is slacking off. For such a building, people can only think of low-key and luxurious, simple and imposing.

Of course, the big characters on the beams of the house, Suzhou people all know that they are representatives of Zhangfu, and for such a place, they are all businessmen who come to import and export goods and discuss distribution. However, ordinary people will not come here, because the number of transactions does not reach a certain number, and the family in charge of the business here will not allow it.

Xiao Yi looked at the busy crowd, but no one noticed that they had been standing at the door for a long time, which showed their concentration in work.

"This son, do you have an appointment in advance?" A man with extraordinary and personable instruments suddenly appeared, and Xiao Yi on the side was startled. "Gorgeous appearance, delicate and white, beautiful as a woman" is not an exaggeration to put on him, his face is like powder, his lips are like grease, if it is not for the man's clothes, he really looks like a delicate little lady. The man smiled, his easy-going gestures.

"Appointment?" Xiao Yi was a little puzzled.

"Even the businessmen who come here to talk about business have to make an appointment in advance, don't you know?"

Talking about business? It turns out that he thinks of himself as a businessman, no wonder. Although Xiao Yi's dress is very ordinary, the temperament exuded by his body does not look like a subordinate who comes to work at all, no wonder the man in front of him will admit his mistake.

Xiao Yi was about to explain to the man, but was interrupted by a shout.

"Yu'er, why are you here?" another man appeared, but unlike the previous man, the previous man came in from outside the door, while the later man came out of the room. The later men looked at their appearance, and they had a seven-point resemblance to the previous men, so they should have some kind of blood relationship.

"Big brother, aren't I bored? I want to see you, you haven't been home in days. ”

"It's windy outside, pay attention to your body, be careful of the cold. ”

The latter is the two sons of the Zhang family, the latter is the eldest son of the Zhang family, named Zhang Xuan, who is in charge of the Zhang family's business. The former is the second son of the Zhang family, named Zhang Yu, eight years younger Zhang Xuan, because he has been weak and sick since he was a child, he is not responsible for things inside and outside the family, and the elders and his eldest brother only let him recuperate with peace of mind. But after many years, it doesn't seem to be getting any better.

"By the way, eldest brother, this is the soup that my sister-in-law asked me to bring you. Zhang Yu handed the lunch box in his hand to Zhang Xuan.

"Why don't you let someone run away like this? Zhang Xuan said with some disgust, this younger brother is both loved and distressed by him.

"I wanted to see you, and I was just in passing. Zhang Yu still looked gentle and elegant, "By the way, big brother, this son seems to be coming to talk to us about business, but he doesn't seem to understand our rules here." After Zhang Yu finished speaking, the two looked at Xiao Yi together.
