The next day, according to the habit of the original owner, Mo Chuchen went to see Xia Ling who was still in swaddling clothes.

This little guy was white and fat, looking at people babbling and screaming vaguely, and the little maids who took care of Xia Ling were amused.

Looking at those little maids, Mo Chuchen frowned slightly.

These maids are too young, the oldest is only fourteen years old, and if something happens to the child in the future, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold back.

After reading for a while, he entered the study and began to practice reading.

Soon, the housekeeper led a few people to the news, saying that they had bought a few ewes in the market and asked the master to take a look.

The housekeeper's name is Lin Hui, a house slave who grew up with Xia's father, he has no bad intentions towards the original owner, and because he is his own person, the housekeeper manages a large part of the Xia family's finances, and the original owner is also very relieved about the housekeeper.

"Uncle Lin, you are the son of the Xia family."

Mo Chuchen was not in a hurry to go out to see the sheep, he put down the brush in his hand, raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him seriously.

When the original owner was fascinated by the lightness of the wind, the housekeeper also tried to pull people back to the right path.

It's a pity that he didn't succeed in the end, and he was beaten to death by the original owner's best relatives because he wanted to help the original owner keep a piece of land.

Because he was a house slave, the death of the housekeeper did not bring any prison disaster to the best relatives, but only compensated the original owner for enough money to buy a slave.

"Yes."

Hearing the inquiry of the main family, Lin Hui replied honestly, without saying too much about anything, he and Father Xia were ignorant when they were children, and they called them brothers and sisters for a while, and when they grew up, they served Father Xia as their duty, and then Father Xia became the master, and he became a housekeeper .......

Mo Chuchen pondered for a moment.

According to the regulations of country F, the children of domestic slaves can only be domestic slaves for generations, but this does not mean that domestic slaves can only be domestic slaves forever.

As long as there is enough money, the house slave can also be ransomed.

Considering the housekeeper's character of looking forward to the interests of the Xia family, conflicts with the best relatives are inevitable.

"Your family of five has been a slave in the Xia Mansion for many years, and now I am the only one left in the Xia Mansion, I am thinking, it is better to go to the Mansion to cancel all the slave status of your family, so that you can do something else in the future."

Lin Hui was shocked when he heard this, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Master, don't think that Madame's departure will not be able to think about it!" I, if we don't serve you, we don't know what we can do! ”

"You can still be a housekeeper in the Xia family, but you have cancelled your slave status, and you are no longer a slave who can be killed, master, it's not that I can't think about it, don't be excited."

Mo Chuchen hurriedly pulled the person up from the ground.

"Really? Can there be such a good thing in the world? Didn't the lord look at the things in the miscellaneous talk, and he was stunned? . ”

Lin Hui was not moved at all, but was even more suspicious, the job of a housekeeper is rarely given to outsiders, and the master who acts like this looks particularly unreliable! .

"Come, let's go see the sheep first."

Listening to the butler's blunt words, Mo Chuchen rubbed his forehead and did not try to explain to the butler again.

There are always some strange existences in this era, such as house slaves who can be easily killed, but most of the family children always have a mysterious loyalty to the master's family.

They also tend to be proud of being a house slave of such and such a family.

This thing, existence is reasonable, Mo Chuchen didn't plan to challenge this.

He just wanted to help the loyal steward.

[Strange, this branch didn't get points, but gained some merit.] 】

The small system looked puzzled.

"The original owner was not very sad after the death of the housekeeper, because in his heart, the housekeeper was just a house slave, and the original owner, who was the master, did not have too much affection for the house slave, and everything was reasonable in his opinion.

And my behavior is unreasonable, he didn't save this person in his subconscious wish, so I can't get points for this matter. ”

Admiring the not-so-chic scenery of the Xia family, Mo Chuchen was calm on his face, and secretly responded to the doubts of the small system in his heart.

Xia's house was paved with stone slabs on the ground, and there was not much mud when he walked, he soon came to the only garden that was not paved with stone slabs, some of the colorful flowers in the garden were delicate, some were budding, butterflies fluttered their wings on the petals, and occasionally a few sparrows jumped out of this piece of emerald green grass and spread their wings and flew high.

The two ewes bought by the housekeeper were locked in a wooden cage, chewing the branches and leaves next to them calmly, and when they saw someone coming, there was no panic in the eyes of the sheep.

"In the future, keep them in the garden, take goat's milk in the morning, noon and evening, cook it and feed it to the young master, and then find a few old slaves with children for the young master to take care of ......."

Mo Chuchen is very satisfied with the state of the ewe, this is not a sick sheep.

"It's not hard to find an old slave, it's just ......." The butler looked around, but stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" Mo Chuchen asked.

"Master, if the ewes are kept in the yard, the flowers in the yard will suffer......

The slave who took care of the garden looked embarrassed, this sheep was so happy to chew the leaves in the cage, if it was released, wouldn't it be a waste of the flowers?

The servants spoke, seeing the old man's brows slightly furrowed and his head bowed in contemplation, thinking that the master was going to make some plans, and looked at them one by one.

In the end, Mo Chuchen looked at the housekeeper and said gently:

"It's useless to keep these flowers, so let's lose them and exchange them for some fruits and vegetables that are easy to feed."

Haven't scholars loved flowers and plants and melons and fruits these days?

The servants wondered, although they pity the flowers and plants in this yard, but the master has spoken, so naturally there is no choice but to agree.

After solving the garden incident, Mo Chuchen began to work to cancel all the "lifelong" slaves in the mansion.

His action startled all the slaves in the house, large and small.

Since his wife left, the master's behavior has become more and more strange, this shouldn't be wanting to become a monk, right? .

Fortunately, Mo Chuchen only restored them to civilian origin, and did not make any further moves, otherwise these slaves might have to hold his legs and persuade them not to leave the ......house with tears and snot.

On the fifteenth day after Feng Qingling left, the Xia family, which had always been calm, finally ushered in the first best relative, the elder brother of Xia's mother's family, Zheng Wuliang.

The Zheng family is a small businessman, and Xia's mother's brother is a gambler, and in the memory of the original owner, as long as this uncle comes, he must be here to borrow money.

As for paying back? Hehe, I'm afraid it's the shadow of money that I haven't seen in the Year of the Monkey.

"What about my nephew? Why are you entertaining? Look down on me, don't you? ”

Zheng Wuliang was welcomed all the way into the hall by the housekeeper, he sipped tea while looking at the surrounding layout, and asked the housekeeper with a thorn in his words by the way.

The housekeeper Lin Hui was a little surprised by Zheng Wuliang's appearance.

Since the old man married a strong lady and came home, this nominal uncle has not dared to step in once, for fear of being beaten!

It seems that the news of Madame's departure has already spread, otherwise this unprofitable lord would not have come.

For this one, the housekeeper Lin Hui was full of disgust, he thought about it, and replied respectfully: "Where will I dislike it!" It's too late to welcome! No, the little one has already ordered someone to inform the master, you wait. ”

"Alright then, count you into acquaintances."

Zheng Wuliang didn't care too much about the housekeeper's words, his eyes were more focused on the decorations in the hall, and his eyes became more and more greedy after looking at it all the way.

If you want him to say, this nephew is also lucky, he was deceived in his early years, and the family didn't have much money, so he married the daughter of Taishou.

This sturdy mother-in-law not only brought a rich dowry, but also had first-class earning ability, and in less than a year, the furnishings in this hall were gold, silver and jade.

If it weren't for the fact that this woman is really strong, he would have come over to fight the autumn wind.
