'Bang! ’

There was a crisp sound in the courtyard, which suddenly woke Fan Ning from his deep sleep, he opened his eyes in a daze, the sky was just getting dark, who threw things into the yard? Could it be that I have delivered breakfast again, and I have stopped ordering it? Or is it a feral cat making trouble?

Fan Ning suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly sat up, he just remembered that there was a little lady living in his yard, and he actually forgot her?

Fanning quickly put on his clothes, opened the door and walked into the courtyard, only to see the little lady squatting on the ground to clean up a broken crockpot, which was a large crockpot used to buy water outside, and there was one in every room.

When Xiao Dong saw Fan Ning coming out, he hurriedly got up and lowered his head to admit his mistake, "I accidentally ......."

"It's okay! There are several more crockpots of this kind, why do you get up so early? ”

"I've been up for a while, every day, and I have to get up before dawn to boil water."

Only then did Fanning realize that a stove had been lit in the courtyard, and water was boiling on it, steaming and about to boil, and the basin by the well water was full of washed dishes and chopsticks and cups.

"I want to make sencha for a junior official, but I can't find where the tea is?"

Fanning turned around and took out his tea can from the study, and asked with a smile, "You still know sencha?" ”

Xiao Dong nodded, "I can make sencha, but I can't order tea!" ”

Fan Ning thought about it, then put the tea pot on the table in the courtyard, took another two hundred yuan and handed it to her: "The water quality of this well is not good, I won't sencha today, you go outside to buy a pot of tea, and then buy two breakfasts, and I'll explain something to you later?" ”

Xiao Dong had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and asked timidly, "The little official won't send me back?" ”

"Stay there for now! I'll ask your little master later. ”

Fanning also thought about this matter last night, after all, Zhu Pei had good intentions, and immediately returned the maid, obviously not giving Zhu Pei face, it would definitely anger her, there was no need to offend her in this matter.

Xiao Dong suddenly secretly breathed a sigh of relief, at least she didn't have to go back today, although she didn't want to leave the Zhu family, but she was even more afraid that this little official would return herself, then she would really be ridiculed by the people in the Zhu Mansion.

"I'm going to buy breakfast and tea!"

She took the money, took the food box and teapot, and ran out in a puff of smoke.

Fanning washed up with hot water and put on a headscarf again, at this time, Xiao Dong came back with a pot of tea and a food box.

She brought breakfast and tea to Fan Ning into the house, and said with a smile: "Little official, it's very convenient to buy things here, and there is everything outside!" ”

"Let's sit down and eat together!"

"I ..... I'll go back to the house and eat. ”

Xiao Dong took two buns and ran back to the house.

Fanning shook his head, sat down and poured himself a cup of hot tea, and began to eat breakfast.

Breakfast is very good, a cage of fresh meat buns, a bowl of porridge with meat foam, the breakfast of this Xiao Wang Ji Food Shop, Fan Ning has been to eat, it is relatively clean, and the taste is also very good, this little girl will still buy things.

In addition to breakfast and tea, the remaining 150 yuan was also placed on the table.

Today Fan Ning plans to go to Guozijian to have a look, after all, he didn't go yesterday, although tomorrow is the official entry, but at least he has to say something.

Then he was going to look at the house, and now he had twenty-four thousand taels of silver, which was enough to buy a good house.

Fan Ning originally wanted to make another exchange with Zhu Yuanfeng in and out, but found that the exchange market was actually controlled by large investors, so he was not very interested.

Fanning was worried that after he tasted the sweetness, he couldn't stop the desire to get rich, and plunged into it, I was afraid that he would lose his pants in the end, and there were many opportunities to get rich, and there was no need to get involved in areas that he was not good at.

After breakfast, Xiao Dong walked in timidly, "What else does the little official command?" ”

Fan Ning took a closer look at her, and could only say that she looked very average, her skin was neither white nor black, her eyes were not big or small, but she looked more pleasing to the eye, barely delicate, little girl! If it looks more delicate, it can be called delicate.

It is estimated that Zhu Pei will not find a beautiful little lady to serve him, and Fan Ning does not care much about the appearance of the maid, as long as he is diligent and capable.

"What's your last name? Where are the people? Where are the parents? "Fanning still has to understand these basic situations.

"Back to the little official, my surname is Jin, Xiaodong is my milk name, my family is from Kaifeng Fuzhong Mu County, my parents are working in the Zhu family, my father is a gardener, my mother is a cook, and I also have an elder brother who works as a cook in Zhu's restaurant."

Fan Ning nodded, this is a typical domestic servant generation, several generations have been doing things in the same big family, there are many cases in the Great Song Dynasty, although they are legally commoners, and the Zhu family is only an employment relationship, but in fact, they have signed a long contract, and several generations have been attached to the big family to live.

Of course, compared with the sale of slavery in the Tang Dynasty, the situation of the servants of the Great Song Dynasty was much better, at least the person was free, the master was not allowed to abuse the domestic servants, and if the woman was violated by the master's family, she could sue the official, and once the employment contract expired, the woman could marry smoothly.

This kind of commoner thinking has been deeply rooted in the bones of the common people of the Great Song Dynasty, even if they are domestic servants engaged in lowly work, they will not regard themselves as slaves, just a job for them,

This is also more obvious in Xiaodong, Zhu Pei first got the consent of her parents before letting her serve Fan Ning, and her salary also rose from 80 wen to 120 wen per day, which is the salary standard of the big maid in the Zhu mansion, of course, her salary belongs to her parents, and she is saved to marry her brother's daughter-in-law.

"How much do you know about me?" Fanning asked again.

Xiao Dong shook her head, she didn't know anything about Fan Ning's situation, she thought she was here to serve what a fierce man, but when she found out that the other party was just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old elegant boy, it immediately made her feel a lot more relieved.

Fan Ning smiled slightly: "My surname is Fan, and I am a fellow villager with Old Man Zhu, I am this year's Tongzi Kejinshi, and now I am an official in Guozijian, you can call me a junior official in the future, and you will continue to live in the house over there, but it is estimated that I will move in another month or two, of course, I am still in the capital, just in another place." ”

Xiao Dong was taken aback, this little official was actually the master of Jinshi, and her father said that they were all Wenqu stars, the most powerful readers, and her heart was suddenly full of awe for Fan Ning.

"If the little official has any special requirements, you can tell the little maid!"

Fan Ning was amused in his heart, special requirements in the future life is a different meaning, he pointed to the study and said to her: "You can go anywhere in this house, and my bedroom is also troublesome for you to help me clean up, but the study is not good, without my permission, you can't enter my study in the future." ”

"I know, the Zhu family also has this rule, the master's study can't enter."

Fan Ning nodded, the maid of the big family just understands the rules and is more worry-free, he continued: "I don't need you to cook here, you are responsible for cleaning up the room for me, laundry, boiling water, sencha, going out to buy food and things, etc., your food and clothing are all borne by me, of course there will be a separate room, by the way, I am easy to oversleep, you wake me up every morning, I can't think of anything else for the time being, do you have anything to ask?" ”

Xiao Dong hesitated and said, "If the little official is not there, can I go to the Zhu Mansion to see my mother?" ”

"Of course, I don't usually come back at noon, most of the time I leave early and return late, but you'd better come back early in the afternoon."

"Little maid remember!"

At this time, Fanning remembered something again and asked her, "How do you get paid?" ”

"My salary is given by the Zhu family, so the petty officials don't have to worry about it."

"That's not good, how much do you get a month?"

"Back to the little official, the little maid originally got a ninth-class salary in the Zhu family, but this time she came to the little official and was promoted to the fifth class, one hundred and twenty wen a day, two levels higher than my mother, the same as my brother."

Fan Ning was also taken aback, the monthly salary alone is three times six hundred yuan, as well as food and clothing, at least five times a month, almost three percent of his monthly salary, no wonder ordinary people can't afford to hire a maid, forget it, this salary is still borne by the Zhu family!

In fact, Fan Ning didn't know that it can be very cheap to invite maids in the capital, many middle-sized people invite maids from their hometowns, and they will never invite maids from Kaifeng Mansion, and the cheapest maids in Kaifeng Mansion start at 80 Wen, and even the local maids in Beijing are more expensive.

And the maid in the hometown gives a maximum of fifty wen a day, and the stingy family even has thirty or forty wen, and it doesn't cost much money for food and clothing, just because the Zhu family has strong financial resources, so the salary is relatively high.

Fan Ning smiled: "The Zhu family has the rules of the Zhu family, I won't break it, and I will give you the same money every month as your pocket money." ”

Xiao Dong was overjoyed, her money was taken away by her parents, and she never had any pocket money on her, but she didn't expect that she would have pocket money when she came here, at this moment, she began to be glad that she came to the right place.

Xiao Dong hurriedly gave a blessing gift, "Thank you, little official!" ”

Fanning took ten yuan from the box and put it on the table, and said to her: "The money has always been your pocket money for this month, and the other nine yuan is daily expenses, including the money for buying water every day, the money for cleaning the toilet, and the money for food, firewood, etc., you can only use it, if it is not enough, ask me for it, you don't have to be frugal for me, I can afford it." ”

After a pause, Fanning asked again, "Do you know where to buy water?" ”

Xiao Dong nodded, "I asked when I bought breakfast, at the Duan family's grocery store diagonally across the street, I asked him for water and toilets, I don't know anything else, but I can ask." ”

Fan Ning saw that she was quite clever, and his heart was still quite satisfied, he saw that it was not early, so he got up and said: "I'm leaving, you clean up today, wash and dry what should be washed, take care of all the chores, go to eat by yourself at noon, and if I come back late in the evening, you can also eat by yourself." ”

"Little official, how much is my fixed price for dinner?"

Fan Ning frowned, "How much is the Zhu family?" ”

"The Zhu family has a cook, and they usually don't eat out, but my father goes out to do things, and he gives eighty wen a day, and the little housekeeper goes out to give one hundred wen, and I don't know the big housekeeper."

Fan Ning laughed, "You are also my little housekeeper, I will give it to you according to the rules of the little housekeeper, count you one hundred yuan, and you can arrange it yourself, but I want to tell you, don't lose yourself in terms of eating, otherwise you will have yellow skin and thin muscles, and the Zhu family will say that I am stingy." ”

Xiao Dong was moved in his heart, pinched the corner of his clothes and whispered, "I know." ”

After Fanning made arrangements, he left his residence and hurried to Guozijian.
