Chapter 0023: Enwei Rules
After finishing the work at hand, Zhu Chengjun stretched his waist and turned his head to look out the window, the sky was already covered with red glow.
Unconsciously after another busy day, Zhu Chengjun sighed in his heart: I didn't have a chance to enjoy the work from 9 to 5 plus two days off in my previous life, but now I have traveled back to ancient times and become busier, which makes people reasonable.
Out of the Changxing ticket number, Zhu Chengjun saw that Xu Xiao had already sat on the wheel and waited for a long time.
There is a special car to pick you up when you go home, you are escorted by bodyguards when you go out, and there are beauties waiting at home......
In the previous life, even if you struggle for a hundred lifetimes, this kind of life belongs to the existence that can only be seen and imagined from afar.
Although the current situation is not peaceful, compared with the social environment in his previous life, which was so involuted that it made people desperate, Zhu Chengjun enjoyed the present more in his heart. Of course, this kind of satisfaction and enjoyment is not only limited to the satisfaction of material things and worldly vanity, but also comes from the relaxation of the spirit, and the pursuit of ideals is no longer difficult to achieve.
The newly purchased mansion has been renovated and has gradually become more and more intense.
Zhu Chengjun glanced up at the main gate with lanterns with the words 'Zhu Zhai' hanging high, and secretly clenched his fists, if he wanted to keep this hard-won family business in the troubled times, it was not easy.
Putting away his chaotic thoughts, Zhu Chengjun glanced at Xu Xiao and asked, "How are the manpower in the house allocated?" ”
Xu Xiao replied: "The nurse, the handyman, and the maid are almost enough, and the two positions of the most critical housekeeper and the bookkeeper have not yet found a suitable candidate, and the little brother is ashamed." Xu Xiao immediately lowered his head and blamed himself.
The housekeeper is responsible for the daily affairs inside and outside the house, and the bookkeeper manages the expenses of a large family. If these two positions were not loyal servants who had served a family for several generations, or retinues who had followed their masters since childhood, no large family would be at ease in handing over the important affairs of the family to an unfamiliar person.
In this era, it is not so easy to find a satisfactory housekeeper and accounting room, and as this 'family' grows day by day, Zhu Chengjun feels more and more that there are too few people available in his hands.
Zhu Chengjun saw that Xu Xiao was hesitant, and immediately straightened his face and reprimanded softly: "If you have something, just say it, don't hold it back." ”
Xu Xiao didn't vomit or be unhappy, and boldly proposed: "What is lacking in the house is not only the housekeeper and the bookkeeper, but the most lacking is the hostess in charge, and it is time for the eldest brother to take his sister-in-law to the county seat." ”
"Did the servants who bought it chew their tongues in private?" Zhu Chengjun quickly discovered the root of the problem, although he didn't have anything to do with the servants, but it was not good to have a few decent rules. It is said that the bowl of people is popular, and the money of people is managed. Zhu Chengjun immediately instructed Xu Xiao: "You immediately gather all the servants and miscellaneous servants you bought back for me, and I want to make rules today!" ”
Zhu Chengjun flicked his sleeves vigorously and walked to the backyard with a gloomy face.
When I first came to the backyard, I happened to see Lan'er and Yu'er staring at each other angrily, and no one refused to weaken in momentum.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Chengjun shook his head and said in his heart: Everyone is from an ordinary background, why bother here.
When she saw Zhu Chengjun walk into the backyard, her pretty face instantly thawed like a glacier, and she walked over with a smile and held Zhu Chengjun's arm affectionately, and in a blink of an eye, she raised her eyebrows at Lan'er, her eyes were full of provocation.
Zhu Chengjun noticed the relationship of the two beauties, and only complained that he was too busy, which caused the house to be restless.
The two beauties are vindictive, and Zhu Chengjun is not so narcissistic that they are jealous for themselves.
Zhu Chengjun sat on the stone table in the courtyard, raised his hand to signal the two beauties to sit down, and said, "It just so happens that you are all here, so I can save myself from talking to you one by one." ”
Zhu Chengjun poured tea gently and obediently, and did not forget to squeeze her eyes.
Seeing that Zhu Chengjun was not interested in paying attention to the grievances between them, the two beauties settled down.
Zhu Chengjun took the tea handed over by Yu'er, took a sip, and then said: "I think you have also seen that there are no rules at all in the huge house, and I am busy with outside affairs all day long, so I want to ask the two of you to help take care of one or two." ”
The so-called improper name is not good, Lan'er and Yu'er don't know what their current identity is in this big mansion, and they both chose to remain silent in the face of Zhu Chengjun's words. There was a slight hint of grief between her eyebrows, and she hoped that Zhu Chengjun could give her a proper identity, instead of being embarrassed by being a concubine or a concubine like now.
Zhu Chengjun saw that the two beauties turned their faces away and took their words as if they were all in the air, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they were cold, and the huge courtyard was instantly shrouded in an embarrassing atmosphere.
At this time, Xu Xiao hurriedly ran in and reported: "Big brother, everyone is assembled." ”
"Let them all wait, if someone doesn't want to wait, it's simple, send them directly to the dental store." At this moment, Zhu Chengjun's tone was unprecedentedly cold.
Xu Xiao knew that his eldest brother had said that he wanted to make rules, which was absolutely serious, and when he saw that Zhu Chengjun had something to talk to these two embarrassing women, he immediately took the order: "I understand, let's go down." ”
Zhu Chengjun glanced at the two beauties on the left and right, and said puzzledly: "You don't want to?" ”
Lan'er, Yu'er shook her head slightly.
Seeing that the second daughter shook her head and didn't speak, Zhu Chengjun was stunned and said, "If you have any requirements, you might as well say it directly." ”
She held back her words, and when she was about to say them, she swallowed them back.
Lan'er frowned at her good-looking eyebrows, and said leisurely: "In what capacity do we take care of the housework for you?" ”
In this era, there are only three books and six appointments, and the wife who is marrying the Ming media can be entrusted with the middle feed, and even if the concubine is favored, it is impossible to support the family. Lan'er and Yu'er both know their origins, and they can't be wives.
Zhu Chengjun knew some of the rules of feudal etiquette, smiled awkwardly, and then patted his head and said: "What is the big deal with my Dao, it turns out that the two of you are worried about this matter." ”
Hearing Zhu Chengjun say this, Lan'er and Yu'er couldn't help but secretly prick up their ears to listen, and their hearts were thumping in anticipation of the next words. These words are very important to them, and whether they can gain a firm foothold in this mansion in the future depends on Zhu Chengjun's words.
Zhu Chengjun saw that the two beauties were not curious at all and asked, and then said: "I hired two girls as the housekeeper and bookkeeper of this house, so it is justified." ”
Lan'er and Lu'er couldn't help but be disappointed when they saw that Zhu Chengjun had this idea in their hearts.
The second daughter knows that she has no relatives in the four seas, and there is nowhere to go, and it is rare to meet such a man with affection, righteousness and a solid family in the vast sea of people, if she can entrust him with her life, she will have to rely on him for the rest of her life.
Lan'er and Yu'er didn't dare to expect that they could immediately get Zhu Chengjun's approval and walked into the door of Zhu's house justifiably, so they invariably chose to retreat to the second, as long as they could meet day and night, they were not afraid that they would not be able to have feelings for men and women.
Lan'er quickly said: "Then Sister Yu'er and me, who is the housekeeper and who is the bookkeeper." ”
Yu'er found out that she was being preempted again, and glanced at Lan'er hatefully.
Zhu Chengjun saw that the two beauties were competing again, suddenly felt a big head, gritted his teeth and thought for a while, and said: "Lan'er is the housekeeper, responsible for the people and things in the front yard, and Yu'er is the bookkeeper, who is responsible for everything for the ladies in the back house, including the salary payment and assessment of all the personnel in the house." ”
Lan'er weighed it in her heart, and soon found that the title of housekeeper was not as important as that of Mr. Bookkeeper.
Yu'er secretly rejoiced, and said in her heart: If it's a woman, it's my care? I've got the last word for whoever gets the money!
Zhu Chengjun saw that the second daughter had a sad face and a sad face, and the other was overjoyed, and said in his heart: How can a bowl of water be served flat.
Afraid that it would change later, Zhu Chengjun immediately made a decision: "It's so decided." ”
After the steward and the money manager were settled, the rest of the things were easy to do, and Zhu Chengjun immediately led the second daughter to the compound.
"Big brother." Xu Xiao saw Zhu Chengjun and the three of them coming together.
Zhu Chengjun glanced at his head drooping, glanced at Xu Xiao, and asked, "How many people want to leave?" ”
Xu Xiao leaned in and whispered, "There is no one, but ...... There seems to be resentment in my heart. ”
Resentful? Zhu Chengjun became angry instantly, for you to eat, drink, dress and live behind your back to play with the rights and wrongs of the master's house, typical of picking up the bowl to eat, putting down the chopsticks and scolding the mother. If you don't set rules and talk about Fang Yuan, you won't know the master's temper if you beat it at the right time.
"Bring up their deeds of sale." Zhu Chengjun shouted loudly.
When they heard the words 'deed of sale', all the people who had been drooping their heads and had no spirit came to their senses, and they all knew that from the moment they sold themselves into slavery, their fate was completely in the hands of their masters.
Zhu Chengjun pointed to a thick stack of deeds of sale, glanced at everyone, and said, "I don't need to say more, you also know what this is, just with this piece of paper, I can kill you and seize power." But this son is kind-hearted and doesn't want to coerce you with your deed of sale. ”
The deed of sale is divided into a living deed and a death deed, and the living deed can be redeemed at any time as long as there is money, once the deed of death is signed, what kind of life you live next is all in the mind of the master, and the personality has almost nothing to do with you.
Zhu Chengjun was also very annoyed by these dead contract slaves, and when they fell into this role, they dared to talk about the rights and wrongs of their masters behind their backs.
Zhu Cheng glanced at everyone's faces, and then said: "Even if you sign a death contract, my son is very willing to treat you as a human being, but your performance disappoints me too much." From today on, you will all learn the rules honestly for my son, and learn how to be my Zhu family's descendant. Although the rules of this son are strict, they will also give you a chance to redeem your free body. ”
When everyone heard that they could regain their freedom, their faces couldn't help but look hopeful.
In this era, even in the Qingming period, the master's family casually executed a dead deed slave, and there was no need to bear the slightest responsibility. Zhu Chengjun knows what kind of family he wants, raising a group of dirty servants who are perfunctory and perfunctory in everything they do is simply a waste of food. Even if the laws of this era will not judge him, in the spirit of humanitarianism in modern society, Zhu Chengjun will not casually disregard human life.
"What Zhu Gongzi said is true? Can we really redeem it with work? ”
Zhu Chengjun waited for a long time and finally waited for someone who dared to speak, and said, "Of course, count." Then the conversation changed, and it was a little cold in an instant: "A group of people who will only smear my son, I am not rare to keep you!" But my son's money can't be spent in vain, and you must pay off the principal with interest before you can leave. ”
Speaking of which, if there are still people who are not interested, Zhu Chengjun will unceremoniously twist people to the tooth line even if they fold the book.
Zhu Chengjun believes that after this combination of grace and power, it will not be difficult for them to work hard if they want to abide by the rules well.
