Chunyin continued: "This servant in He Shilang's family is well-trained, which shows that the wife of their family is not ordinary. One by one, these servants loaded and unloaded things in an orderly manner and pulled them to the city, without a single superfluous word, which shows that they are strict in governing their families. However, there were a lot of things, and it was not until the next day that they were all finished. ”

Qin Mingyue asked, "Then have you seen He Shilang?" ”

Chunyin said: "I see, He Shilang is about fifty years old, but he has a good demeanor. He just stood on the dock, said a few words of praise to the staff and sons around him, and then got into the carriage and went directly to the house in the city. ”

Qin Mingyue frowned like a spring mountain: "Has he noticed our silk, has he noticed He Jinfang?" ”

Chunyin was a little puzzled why Miss would ask this question, but she still answered honestly, "No, he didn't even take a look at it." As for He Jinfang, he didn't pay attention to He Shilang, although they were all surnamed He, but, on the dock in the capital, there were officials coming and going every day, who would pay attention to this? At that time, He Jinfang finally sold all his plain silk and was busy handing over the silk. Where is that idle observation of a passing official? ”

Qin Mingyue's frowning brows loosened when she heard this, and she smiled slightly. Fate is like this, if you miss it, it may be two parallel lines in the future. Qin Mingyue felt as if she had a new understanding of the exercises.

It seems that what the master said in the past was right, and Hongchen Qianzhang is the place to practice the heart. Therefore, the national teacher came out of the deep mountains and old forests and stood on the court, just to be able to practice his heart through the red world.

Qin Mingyue said to Chunyin: "Okay, you will explain it for me tomorrow, and ask our people who pick up the Star Tower to pay attention to He Shilang's mansion." I'm curious about him. Don't worry about anything else. By the way, also, the little official you worked with last time seems to be very capable, so you can ask him to take you outside tomorrow to see if you can buy a good weaving and dyeing workshop. In the future, He Jinfang's plain silk will continue to be transported over, if we have a weaving and dyeing workshop, with a few weaving and dyeing recipes in my hand, we should be able to dye a good color of silk. ”

"Then the profit is high. We also have an entry in the house, so we won't be so stretched. ”

Chunyin hurriedly came down.

After Chunyin went out, Qin Mingyue thought for a while and called Mama Ma and Mama Liao to come over.

Qin Mingyue asked: "Two grandmothers, I haven't returned to the mansion in the past few days, how is the mansion?" ”

Mama Ma hurriedly said: "In the past few days, I have been training the servants in the house to follow various house rules. It has already achieved initial results, and I believe that Miss has also seen it. ”

Qin Mingyue nodded and said, "Yes, Mama Ma is really good." ”

Mama Liao said: "The servants in the mansion have not been subject to such constraints, and they are a little unaccustomed to it, but the box of monthly money that Miss gave out a few days ago still played a great role. It's been a long time since they've paid out their monthly money. Getting this money, although it is not much, has solved many problems in the family. These servants all think of the good of the young lady. ”

"So, they study very hard. I thought about the young lady's promise, in the future, when the situation in the house is better, I will have to make up the monthly money I owed before. ”

Qin Mingyue said: "Although the servants are all born of a family, they are also human beings, so they naturally need money, they work in our mansion, how can I not give them monthly money?" I didn't care about the previous things, but since I took over the general affairs of the house, I naturally had to pay enough monthly money. The monthly money owed before should also be gradually repaid to everyone. ”

Mama Liao's face was happy: "Miss is a kind-hearted person. There is no one in this house who can compare with the young lady. The servants in the house are grateful to the young lady. ”

Qin Mingyue nodded and said: "It's not necessary to be grateful, as long as you work hard in the future, everyone will work together to establish the rules of our Liguo Mansion and no longer be as lazy as before." ”

"By the way, do you have any other suggestions about the affairs of the house?"

Mama Ma listened and said, "There is nothing yet. It's just that we have a national mansion and a lot of masters, but there are really too few people to serve. There are only so many people, and to be honest, they really can't turn around. Miss is okay here, they are all transferred from the Star Picking Building, and it is still enough, but it is not good for other courtyards. If, in the future, the young lady has a looser hand, she still has to buy some servants to come back, so as to be presentable. ”

That's true. Although Qin Mingyue didn't care about these general affairs in her previous life, she also knew that which prince's mansion in the capital had only about 20 servants? This servant is also very important, and without a competent servant, many things cannot be turned around. Everyone's business, land and the like, are all done by domestic servants, do you let the master do everything himself?

Therefore, this talent is also an important part.

Qin Mingyue said: "Didn't I put a thousand taels of silver on the account? In addition to the monthly money, there are also monthly money distributed by the masters everywhere, and after deducting the money for the daily expenses of buying groceries, there should be some left. Next month, I can still make some money, so I can still take out a thousand taels of silver to spend. It is better to use the silver left over from this month to buy some more messengers. ”

"It's just, where is this messenger going to buy it?"

When Mama Liao heard this, she hurriedly said, "Miss, this servant is naturally the most reliable child. If you buy it from outside, it will take a while to get loyalty. Originally, there were generations of domestic servants in our mansion, and there were about four or five hundred people. However, as the interior of our mansion grew poorer, the masters had no choice but to sell off their servants. ”

"There are good and bad things. However, they were all born and raised in our mansion, and each family is close to each other, and many of them are not having a good time with the new master, and they all think that it would be good if they could return to our mansion. If Miss wants to buy people, can you think about it first and buy this part of the people back first. It's more ripe than the one bought outside, and it's easier to use. ”

That's a good idea.

Mama Ma also followed and said: "Miss, Mama Liao is an old man in this mansion, so she is naturally familiar with the previous servants in the mansion. Let her contact the former domestic servants, pick up those who have a good heart and a skill, and put them back, it's good. If that's not enough, we'll buy it from outside. ”

Qin Mingyue nodded and said, "That's a good idea. So do it, spend three hundred taels of silver from the account, buy back some of it first, and then slowly buy it back month by month. Be sure to pick it carefully, don't pick in the disloyal, two-minded, or lazy and often troublesome people, don't get it back. ”

Mama Ma and Mama Liao hurriedly came down.
