Chapter 93: Handyman
The scale of the Han family's mansion is very large from the outside. If you really go deeper, you can feel that the big one is boundless.
The whole house is like a labyrinth. The courtyard wall is high, and some corners are not exposed to the sun, which is gloomy, and it is estimated that the high-ranking families are like this.
The housekeeper took Yun Yi into the house through the side door, chattering all the way. You can't walk around in the house, you can't hook up with maids, you can't carry it with the master's family, and so on.
Yun Yi listened casually, and agreed directly.
The life of the Gaomen Compound, Yun Yi has never been in contact with. The Han family's compound brought him some novelty. He watched as he walked, full of interest.
The housekeeper had already told him that he was going to the sixth master of the Han family in the West Courtyard, where there was a shortage of handymen. Handyman, that is, chopping wood, carrying water, pulling horses and carriages, etc., is very complicated, and the monthly salary is not much, half a tael of silver.
The West Courtyard has arrived. Yun Yi felt that the West Courtyard should be in the northwest position in the Han family's compound, that is, on the corner. There is no need to guess, the so-called sixth master of the Han family also has a name and has no power.
The housekeeper stopped at the gate of the west courtyard and shouted into the courtyard, "Xiaohong, come out." ”
Xiaohong is estimated to be a maid, this kind of name is too common, and she doesn't even have a surname. Sure enough, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl ran over quickly, looking at the pretense as a maid.
The housekeeper pointed to Yun Yi: "This is a new handyman, you tell the sixth master later, and you will say that it is the special grace of the head of the family." Let the sixth master stop chattering with the old lady. ”
"Alas, I made a note of Steward Qin. Xiaohong hurriedly responded.
The housekeeper is gone. Xiaohong brought Yunyi into the courtyard.
Although the location of this west courtyard is a bit off, the layout should be the same. There are halls, ear rooms, wing rooms, stove rooms, and latrines. As for the stables, there are a few brightly colored birds.
The patio is not small, and there is a well on one side of the patio. The wellhead is being covered with stone slabs.
Xiaohong assigned a task to Yunyi: "Every day, you have to go to the side door to get firewood, and then chop it." There are four water tanks in the house, all of which are full, and the sixth master and the sixth lady have to wash at night. On the fifteenth of each month, remember to go to the housekeeper to receive rice, grain, oil and salt......"
Xiaohong chattered all the time, and said a cup of tea, no matter how big or small. From what he had to do in the early morning to the night, he stopped.
There seem to be a lot of things, but there is actually no content, and it can be summed up in a few words: tea, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, eating, drinking, and Lazing.
Yun Yi knew what to do after listening to it. Today's firewood should be split, and the water tank has bottomed out. In half an hour, these tasks were done.
Xiaohong, this girl, is picking vegetables in the stove room. Yun Yi leaned over and asked, "How can I help?"
"Just rest when you're done, there's not much to do at home, but fortunately you came to the sixth master. If you are with other masters, you will not be idle from morning till night. Xiaohong said.
Yun Yi squatted down against the wall, and asked as if unintentionally, "Why don't you see the sixth master, you're very busy?"
"The sixth master didn't care about anything in the Han family, and his temperament was relatively soft, so he was dragged out to talk about business by the uncle. The sixth lady was also dragged by the eldest lady to play cards, and it is estimated that she will not be able to return until lunch. "Little Red Road.
Yun Yi looked at her and said, "You let me pick up the young master and young lady for dinner, I don't know where the study hall is." ”
Xiaohong threw down the dish: "Let's go, I'll take you over now." ”
The so-called study hall is actually a private school run by the Han family, which is specially used to teach the children of the Han family to read and write. For a family to prosper, it must have cultured people. Illiteracy or the rule of force will not go far.
The study hall is in the Han family's compound, and the location is also a little westerly, but it is much stronger than the sixth master's west courtyard.
Walking in the compound, Yun Yi saw a lot of subordinates and maids, all of them silent and cautious. Yun Yi guessed that the Han family's house rules should be stricter.
Ahead, the sound of reading was heard. This is the arrival of the book hall.
Xiaohong took Yunyi into the study hall, and from the window, pointed to the two children inside. Yun Yi made a note of it.
These two children are not very old, that is, six or seven years old, and they should have been born after the Qingyuan River flood.
It's not time to pick up someone, it's time to go back.
In the morning, Yun Yi was fine, basically idle there. As the meal approached, he went to pick up someone.
At the entrance of the study hall, there was a commotion, and a group of people gathered there, all of them children. The crowd is not far away, and it is the maid and the subordinate who pick up the child. They watched dryly, but didn't step forward to stop them.
Yun Yi took a look at it and couldn't help but be happy. The sixth master is not treated well in the Han family, and his children are also the lord who is bullied.
"Han Yu, your father is a wreck, he eats all day and doesn't work. ”
"That's right, why are you studying with us? Your father didn't earn a single penny for the Han family. ”
"And you, Han Yan, don't shake your face there. You and your brother aren't qualified, you know?"
"Whoever eats dry food should be realized. ”
Yun Yi listened to these words and didn't know what to say. It's all too normal for a family to have strife within it. If it is a family member and a friendly person, if you don't fight or grab, you will definitely not go far.
Without competition, there will be no pressure, no motivation, and no momentum to forge ahead. The so-called easy to start a business, but difficult to keep a business, is precisely this.
Han Yu and Han Yan, who were counted down in the crowd, were the two children of the sixth master, who were already crying at the moment, but they did not refute.
Almost. Yun Yi stepped forward, easily squeezed in, picked up the child without saying a word, and walked out directly.
The children were stunned. Yunyi's stature is not very tall, but it is also at an average level. This is a giant-like existence in the eyes of children.
The child didn't dare to talk more, but those maids and subordinates were energetic.
"Alas, who are you, you stop. ”
Yun Yi turned his head and glanced at them. Those subordinates couldn't help but shiver, only to feel cold all over their bodies. No matter how weak Yun Yi's strength is, he is still a Lingzun, and he still comprehends the dual cultivation of Lingwu in the realm of 'existence'.
His prestige is not to mention ordinary people, even if the martial arts are low-level, he has to kneel. Fortunately, Yunyi didn't want to embarrass these ordinary people.
Let's go! Yun Yi walked away with the child in his arms.
Those subordinates were still shivering there, feeling fear from the bottom of their hearts. Who is this, what did they just see? They can't figure it out, and they can't figure it out.
Walking out a short distance, Yun Yi put the two children down and took their hands.
Han Yu looked up at Yun Yi and asked, "Who are you?"
Yun Yi smiled: "Yes, I just came here today." ”
Han Yan, the little girl on the other side, looked behind her and said, "Then you won't stay long, those people will go back to complain." ”
Yun Yi smiled and said, "Then do you want me to go, or do you want me to stay?"
"I don't know you well. Han Yan lowered her head and said.
"Let's go, Xiaohong is ready. Yun Yi didn't care about these things, and took the two children back to the West Courtyard.
The sixth lady also returned, and she was a relatively delicate and weak woman. Seeing her image, Yun Yi finally figured out why the sixth master was not treated well.
The sixth master and his wife are too compatible, it is definitely a match made in heaven, they are both weak temperaments, and they swallow their anger. Such a couple has no anger at all, who would be afraid?
No one will be afraid! Naturally, it will not be taken seriously.
When the lord's house eats, the servant cannot serve it. I have to wait on the sidelines. Yun Yi didn't need to be like this, he could eat in the stove room.
The next person's meal is really not dripping, two spoons of green vegetables, faintly diced meat. Even the main food is limited, with only two large bowls.
After Yun Yi finished eating, he touched his stomach and felt full. He couldn't help muttering, Nima, Lao Tzu is really an idle egg, come here to find guilt. Feel the situation as soon as possible and leave, it's too boring here.
In the afternoon, he had one more job, which was to pour dirty water. It's incredibly simple. Other subordinates will dislike the fishy smell, but Yun Yi is directly wrapped in aura, and he can't feel anything.
After this work, it is to play with the children. Yun Yi is not good at this, so he simply let it go, find a place by himself, and draw spirit runes with branches.
Yun Yi had never been exposed to a single-layer fifth-level spirit rune before, and now he had the opportunity to practice it.
And so the day passed.
After dinner, Yun Yi couldn't go home yet, so he had to bring hot water to the master's house, saying that he wanted to wash. Jinnyima is exquisite.
After all this, it was already late at night, and he could go back. As soon as he walked out of the west courtyard, Xiaohong closed the door with a bang.
Yun Yi smiled helplessly, looked around, and directly launched the 'Cloud Walking Step', which disappeared with a swish, but it brought a strong wind.
"Who? who is there?" the Han family came to patrol the night. They looked around and found nothing, just that they had misheard.
Yun Yi returned to Liuwan Village, and before he entered the door, he looked at the happy words on the gate. Lao Tzu is also going to get married.
Pushing the door into the house, there are happy words everywhere, and it is really good to look up and see joy.
Han Xiaomei looked at the door of the hall, and when she saw that Yun Yi had only come back so late, she asked, "Have you eaten?"
Yun Yi touched his stomach and replied with a wry smile: "The main family is too picky, I don't let me eat enough, I'm hungry." ”
Hearing him say this, Han Xiaomei asked with a smile, "Found an errand?"
Yun Yi nodded: "Working as a handyman in a house, it is said that it is five hundred wen a month, which is not much, but the time is a bit long." ”
"I'll cook for you, you rest first. Han Xiaomei entered the stove room.
Yun Yi looked at her busy figure and couldn't help but be happy. Nima, this kind of day feels more interesting.
After the meal, Han Xiaomei said: "I set the day after tomorrow, it is an auspicious day, it is appropriate to get married, can the main family let you out?"
"No problem. Yun Yi had no doubt about that.
It's time to go to sleep, and go back to their rooms. is about to get married, and Yun Yi is a little nervous.
