Shu Li said helplessly: "I haven't done it before, but such a thing, what will not." ”

A man with martial arts, can't even chop firewood? That's really embarrassing.

Xue Lengyu smiled, and did not stop Shuli's enthusiasm, he moved a small stool and sat a few steps away from him, looking at him with his chin in his hand. The handsome guy chopping wood is also a pleasing scenery.

Seeing that Xue Lengyu was looking at the scenery with peace of mind, Shu Li also shook his head and smiled, and there was a rare trace of gentleness in his heart. The so-called male farmer and female weaver are such warm and harmonious. The only difference is that he is not the real male owner of this yard.

Quietly watching Shuli chopping wood, such a rough job, when he did it, it was a gesture, and it was still difficult to hide that calm and calm.

I don't know if it's a person with martial arts, even if he is holding an axe, he has his own feelings. is still because of Shuli's own cold and calm temperament, so that even if he does very ordinary things, he can be personable.

Xue Lengyu watched silently, and the two of them had different thoughts in their hearts, and neither of them spoke.

After a while, the pile of firewood was divided into small pieces of firewood, Xue Lengyu came back to his senses, quickly stood up, and said with a smile: "It's hard work." ”

Shuli put down the axe, put down his sleeves, and patted it on his body casually: "The hard work is too exaggerated, if you can get Miss Xue's compassion, Shuli is tired, and she is willing to eat." ”

There was not a single sweat on his forehead, and his breath was steady. Indeed, such a thing is a real gesture for him. The difficulty is that he is willing to lower his body.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and it was time to leave, a little reluctant, but there was no reason to stay.

Xue Lengyu also smiled a little embarrassedly: "If the palace is okay today, eat lunch at my house before leaving." But people like us may not have anything to eat. ”

Shu Li's gaze fixed on Xue Lengyu: "You know I don't care. ”

"Okay then." Xue Lengyu could only say: "Then stay for a lunch, although the food is not very good, but my mother's craftsmanship is still really good." ”

"I thought you would cook for me." ”

Xue Lengyu smiled: "I'm really sorry Uncle Shu, although I am not a young lady from a big family, but I am not diligent and do not distinguish between grains." Laundry and cooking are tiring, and piano, chess, calligraphy and painting will not. If you want to find a virtuous lady who can serve the husband, then find another beautiful woman as soon as possible. ”

Shuli also smiled: "Although Shuli is not talented, he will not marry a lady to do housework." ”

Judging from the two days of getting along, Shu Li didn't rely on Xue Lengyu to be virtuous and virtuous. Looking at her slender and white hands, you can know that her fingers do not touch the spring water. Laundry and cooking are tiring, but it's not surprising.

If he is separated, Xue Lengyu believes that although he is not a high-ranking official and a huge rich, if he becomes a family, there must still be more than a dozen maids and servants in the family, and it is unreasonable to expect his wife to do housework.

However, when it came to housework, Xue Lengyu frowned.

Needless to say, things at home, laundry and cooking, up and down, are all borne by Xue's mother. Now that Xue's father is sick, and Xue's mother is not in good health, she must have to share some of her when she returns home. If in her time, there were modern tools like rice cookers, and that wouldn't be in the way. But now...... But what should be done?

Does she have to roll up her sleeves and make a mess in front of the stove every day?

No, no, this is not the life Xue Lengyu wants. Even if it is so difficult now, it cannot be yielded.

After thinking about it, Xue Lengyu said, "Shuli, I have something to ask you." ”

She didn't say anything, waiting for her to ask.

Xue Lengyu said: "How much does it cost to invite a maid?" It's the kind of person who takes care of food and shelter and is responsible for housework. ”

"Maid, please?" Shuli raised his eyebrows: "So reluctant? ”

"So I asked, how much is the maid's monthly salary, and it depends on whether I invite it or not." Xue Lengyu said: "I'll tell you the truth, since I bumped into it for a while, my impression of many things is confused. I didn't dare to tell my parents, for fear that they would worry. ”

Xue Lengyu said that he had lost his memory, and he thought about it carefully when he went back. Although amnesia is a very mysterious thing, looking at Xue Lengyu's appearance, people have to believe it.

It is not difficult for Xue Lengyu to be separated, and said: "The wages are different, in the palace, a big girl like Mei Lan Zhuju is five taels of silver every month." The lower ones are two or two per month. There are also those who sell themselves in the house, but they only have food and shelter, and they don't need to be paid. ”

Xue Lengyu nodded and said, "In other words, one is a monthly subscription and the other is a buyout." How much does it cost to buy a maid? ”

What is the buyout of the monthly subscription. Although Shuli couldn't understand these words, he could also understand Xue Lengyu's meaning, so he said: "Buy a maid, there are more or less." Ten taels or eight taels, twenty or thirty taels, all of them. ”

The span is really big, Xue Lengyu thought about it, and still said: "Then I'll hire one first and see how it goes." ”

Seeing Xue Lengyu's calculating expression, Shu Li couldn't bear it after all, and said: "Actually, you don't have to be so troublesome, you have no one to do things here, I'll go back to the palace in a while, and send two maids over." Someone has to do the manual work of chopping wood and carrying water. There are many servants in the house, this is not a big deal, and the silver king can also come out of the palace, if you are not at ease, it is okay for you to give it yourself. It's just a tael of silver a month, it's nothing. ”

"Is that okay?" Xue Lengyu's eyes lit up: "I don't care about how many taels of silver a month, but I'm really worried that I don't know where to hire someone." ”

Shuli said: "As long as you don't feel sorry for your money." ”

Xue Lengyu said with a smile: "Since ancient times, money has been earned, not saved. If money can't make money, no matter how much money you have, it will run out. ”

looked at Xue Lengyu silently, such an esoteric truth, to her, was like chatting about home. This woman is an honest couple like Xue's father and mother, can she be educated?

Seeing that Shu Li was stunned, Xue Lengyu stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him, and said in a long voice: "Back ~ soul ~ la~"

Shuli smiled and gently brushed her hand: "I'm thinking, since that's the case, why don't I take you back to the palace with me now, and you can choose two favorite subordinates to serve with you." ”

"No, no, no." Xue Lengyu hurriedly said, "I believe in you." The people you pick, how can there be anything you don't like. As long as you are diligent and honest, it is good. ”

It's not that I don't want to get along with Shuli, but I really don't want to go back to that palace.

Shuli nodded: "Okay, then I'll pick it for you." ”

looked at the room, although Shu was unwilling, he still said: "Don't wait until the evening, I see that your mother is also tired, don't hurry to call her up, I'll go back to the house, and let the maid come over in a while." Otherwise, I'm afraid that even you won't be able to eat lunch. ”

"That's for the best." Xue Lengyu said: "Shuli, thank you so much." ”

"Not necessarily." Shu Li said: "It's just a gesture, it's nothing." ”

Xue Lengyu smiled: "I still want to thank you, for your efforts, for me, it has solved a big trouble." You know, at this time, my father was injured, and my mother was an honest person and she was old. In this family, it is somewhat difficult to rely on me for support. ”

Shu Li stretched out his hand and stroked Xue Lengyu's face: "It is naturally hard for a woman to support a family. If you feel tired at any time, you can come to me. Even if things change, I will still do my best to protect you. ”
