Chapter 263 Pumping
"It's because we didn't teach the girl well, and we told it carefully when we came, we know that the eldest lady is kind and easy to serve, and it was we who sent the girl in because we left, but I didn't expect the child to serve the master like this."
"Fortunately, there was no big mistake, and I promised my mother not to punish me, but the money I was going to give to the dowry is now gone. I don't need you to bring people back. ”
"For your sake, I give you one last chance."
"Thank you, young grandmother, for your orders."
The girl is a big girl, this money is a lot, and the family all points to this income to support the family, all of them are from a hard background, and without this income, it will have an impact on the whole family.
"Your man used to be the second steward in the capital, right?"
Li Yu casually pointed to one of the mothers-in-law.
"Back to the young grandmother, my man used to work as a second manager in the shop Zhuangzi on the Baihe side of Tongzhou in the capital, and he has been in charge for more than ten years, and my eldest son can also run errands."
"The eldest young master is in charge of the river embankment, and there are a lot of chores in front of him, can your man and the boy in the family help out?"
Li Yu glanced at it and asked.
"Yes, I've done it before, and I can do it with a little dim sum, just see how I do it."
The mother-in-law immediately responded.
"In the past few days, the eldest young master has been doing things on the river embankment, and he is a little busy, so if he is willing to do it, he will go to the eldest young master, and I will continue to use it if I do a good job, and if I don't do it well, I will not go back twice, and I will stay at home."
The meaning is very clear, I can continue to lift up, I can't use to pull down, I have my own dowry steward, which is much better than you.
"Thank you for your kindness."
The mother-in-law knocked her head purple.
"I have a Zhuangzi who lacks an errand boy, he must be clever, mainly do some chores, is there any capable?"
Hit is beaten, lift and lift, these are the old people of the Gu family, more loyal than outsiders, but they are also slippery, and they are easy to use well.
"My kid is capable."
A mother-in-law quickly raised her head and raised her hand.
"The second boy of my family has worked in the Zhuangzi in the outer courtyard before, and he has also worked as a guy in the shop, and he has been able to do it for seven or eight years."
"Okay, I'll give you a chance, go to me to marry Qi in charge, and tell him that it's my order, Xiuying, and I'll give her a note to find someone later."
"Yes."
"Okay, the rest will go back first, I'll think about you when I have a chance."
"Yes."
Others strangled themselves for not taking advantage of the opportunity, the more they thought about it, the more angry they became, looking at their daughter, they were angry, and as soon as Li Yu left, they stood up and turned their heads and gave their daughter another mouthful, and even dragged their hair home with a scolding, and it was a good beating when they went back.
The two mothers-in-law who got the opportunity breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at each other, and whispered to a few other old women.
"In the future, I will serve you well, cheer up, this lord is not easy to fool."
"That's right, you have a chance, what can we do, my master still needs to take medicine, and it will take a lot of chewing in a month, this dead girl...... I'm going to have to kill her when I go back. ”
"It's time to beat them, what a good person the eldest lady is, she is good to serve, she can't stand like this, she can't spare them when she goes back, and she doesn't think about her family at all."
The mother-in-law gritted her teeth and hated to death.
"Fortunately, the lady was kind and gave some money."
"Yes, Madame is a kind-hearted person, she doesn't like to find trouble, she is good at serving, she is really good at living."
"I don't cherish these few, I can go back and find someone to marry."
A few mothers-in-law scolded and went home, went back and closed the door, and each of them whipped the girl again, and the terrible cry could be heard clearly through the yard, and she couldn't get out of bed for a few days.
Immediately find someone to marry the girl, the girl is not in the middle, it is useless to keep it, do not share the burden for the family, marry early, and exchange some bride price to help the family.
Li Yu easily got a few mothers-in-law, and also punished a few girls severely.
"Master, aren't you short of people, why haven't they all been arranged?"
Xiuying doesn't quite understand that the master is quite short of manpower.
"I can't make it all up in one go, I have to let them know who is the master, who is in charge, there is a price to pay for mistakes, I don't punish it doesn't mean that I am willing in my heart, it is to consider the reputation of the Gu family and the current difficulties."
"If you make up for it, it's not a punishment, it's a reward, and if you make a mistake, I make up for all the shortcomings in my family, how can there be such a good thing, I told them, I could have given all the benefits, but your girl did something wrong, and the good is gone."
"Oh, it's called killing chickens and monkeys, and it also makes them respect you more, so you can use them in the future."
"Yes, it's not enough to just play the board, these old people can use it, in the end, they are the old servants of the Gu family, they are loyal to the Gu family, and they will not betray the Gu family outside, but they are also particular about how to use it, they have to be obedient, they can't be fed too much in one go, and getting on the pole is not a business."
Li Yu shook his head, the first step was to subdue the old man of the Gu family, they knew the Gu family too well, and they had the ability under their hands, but they were not obedient, they didn't take Gu Lei's mother and son seriously, and they had to wait and see.
This is not what a faithful slave should think, or the heart is big, but it is better to use outsiders at hand, outsiders have more thoughts, and it will take longer, so it is better to subdue them and use them to save worry.
Gu Lei is so tired because the slaves under him grind foreign workers, they don't work hard, and they don't worry about it and don't give some mention.
What Li Yu has to do is to raise Gu Lei's head first, and let the Gu family minions follow him to work seriously, so that the Gu family's mansion can turn smoothly, and Gu Lei doesn't have to worry about the small work outside.
The matter of Gu Lin's minions is just an introduction, by the way, screen these old minions, pick out those who can be used, and get rid of the thorns first, so that others can hear the wind and move.
The people below are not obedient, Gu Lei doesn't know what the people are doing, he is naturally passive, busy inside and out, and often capsizes without knowing what is going on, and there are loyal and easy-to-use servants who can be of great use.
Li Yu entered the main hall, and Grandpa Gu glanced at her, "Those minions have been done?" ”
"Almost, after getting bait, let's see if anyone takes the initiative to come to me."
Li Yu smiled.
"Well, those few are all good players, and men and sons are capable, but Leizi didn't understand it, arrogant, I didn't bother to mention him, let him suffer a little and understand."
Master and servant are mutually accomplished and mutually supportive, and there is no simple way to deal with people, not just giving money and playing a board can convince you.
"Don't worry, I've left all the vacancies, and I'll wait for someone to take the bait."
Grandpa Gu had a smile on his face, his eyes were gentle and loving, "Good boy, I've worked hard for you, let Wan'er help you, I thought about it carefully, if you can't let Wan'er get into trouble, I hurt her, I don't want her to marry out and be wronged, just stay at home." ”
"Okay, listen to you, even if you are rich, you have to find a good one, and you can open up slowly."
After eating with the old man at noon, Li Yucai went back to the house to rest, and in the afternoon, there was nothing to do, so he went to his mother-in-law's yard and sent the selected girl over to explain a few words.
Mama Yan not only chose three big girls, but also two mothers-in-law, one in the kitchen, and one in the yard strictly.
There are only three girls, and one is missing, so let's not make it up for the time being, who has the ability to climb up, depending on personal ability.
