Chapter 161: Zhuangzi who left Xiaoyue
Jiang Yi was also happy to spend money on his daughter-in-law, and he took out the silver ticket from it and showed it to the shopkeeper.
"A total of two hundred and eighty taels of silver, just right." The shopkeeper counted the money with a smile.
The shopkeeper personally sent Gu Xia and his wife out of their teeth, followed by more than 20 people, and the scene could be said to be spectacular.
Jiang Xiaoyue came out for a long time before she reacted, her sister did things neatly, and when she was still stunned, these twenty people had already followed them home.
She stuffed the money bag into Gu Xia's hand, "Sister, you helped me pay two hundred and eighty taels of silver today." I have eighty taels here, and I owe two hundred denarii. I will keep this account, and in the future, Zhuangzi will sell grain for silver. I'll give it back to my sister a lot. Sister, don't say that you don't have to say such things.
Two hundred taels of silver is not a small amount for my sister, and I spent so much silver on my sister, and my heart was uneasy. As the saying goes, brothers have to settle accounts! ”
Gu Xia listened to Xiaoyue's words sincerely, and this girl insisted so much.
It seems that she doesn't want this silver, and this girl will not eat and sleep well.
Two hundred taels of silver is indeed not a small amount, and she never thought of giving it to the little girl.
After all, she still has a large family to raise, and she also has to live.
Gu Xia accepted Jiang Xiaoyue's money bag, "I will accept this silver bag, and Xiaoyue will pay back the rest of the silver slowly, my sister is not in a hurry." ”
Jiang Xiaoyue saw Gu Xia put down the silver bag, so she showed a relaxed smile.
When the group returned to Zhuangzi, the twenty new Zhuangzi people were divided into men and women and stood in two rows, with a very respectful attitude.
These people are waiting to buy them and come back to the Lord's house to arrange work for them.
"This ten-year-old girl Zhang Baozhu will be your master family in the future. Don't look at her as a child and bully her, she still has my sister behind her. In the future, you will all be a part of the Zhuangzi, and you must do your part well. Gu Xia's voice sounded in the Zhuangzi and fell into everyone's ears, causing a thousand waves for a while.
The people in the Zhuangzi thought that Gu Xia and his wife were their masters, but they never dreamed that the owner of this huge Zhuangzi would be a little girl.
After they gradually got used to the news, they all said, "I, Wang San, am the most conscientious, and I won't fool a little girl." I will do my best to be loyal to the Lord's house. ”
"We are all miserable people, and the Lord's family bought us back, which is to give us a place to stay, and we can still have something to eat. We are all grateful to repay the kindness. ”
……
Gu Xia heard everyone's conclusive statements, and his heart was slightly relieved, I hope these people can do what they say.
Gu Xia also planned to select a housekeeper and a bookkeeper from these twenty people.
"Have any of you twenty of you ever read and be literate enough to be a steward?"
When the twenty people heard this, they looked at each other, and this is a good thing, the housekeeper does not have to work hard, and they eat according to their skills.
It's a pity that most of them never went to school.
Just when Gu Xia thought that no one had ever read a book, a young man with a beautiful face stepped forward and said loudly, "I have read a book, so I can be a good housekeeper." ”
His family used to be a big family, and he also participated in the imperial examination, but unfortunately he fell off the list. Later, his father was calculated, gambled with others, lost all his net worth, and owed foreign debts.
Not to mention that the big house where his family lived was taken away, and he was also arrested and sold into a dental business.
Li Qingguang just thought about what happened to him, and he was a bitter tear, and he only hoped that his life in Zhuangzi would not be so bitter in the future.
Gu Xia saw that it was a young man and looked at him, this person was originally chosen by Jiang Yi. It can be seen that this person has a frank eye and is a bright and upright person. It is specified that he will not do something that is contrary to the yang and the yin.
"Okay, you will be the housekeeper in this Zhuangzi in the future." Gu Xia immediately agreed.
The crowd looked at him with envy.
"Do you have anyone who can settle accounts and fiddle with abacus?" Gu Xia asked the next question.
She had already thought about it, and if there was really no one who could settle accounts, she would find a clever person from it. Let Xianggong teach him to play with the abacus and learn to calculate accounts.
Fortunately, there are people in this group of people who can recline the tiger, hidden dragon, and there are really people who can settle accounts, not only one, but two of these twenty people raised their hands high.
Gu Xia was quite surprised, no wonder these twenty people sold at a high price, and they had some ability.
However, she only uses one bookkeeper, and now there are two people who have signed up.
"How do you choose?" Gu Xia looked at Jiang Yi for help.
"It's better to bring the abacus over, and the daughter-in-law will come up with the arithmetic problem, and see who of these two people can calculate quickly and call whoever is the bookkeeper." Jiang Yi immediately said it.
Gu Xia felt that this would be a good proposal, and even agreed to it.
Jiang Xiaoyue volunteered to get the abacus, and the two stepped forward to bring the abacus and prepare for war.
Gu Xia said the number plus the other number, and after counting one, two, three, he said the beginning.
The two alternate bookkeepers began to fiddle with the abacus in their hands. One of them, a middle-aged man in a blue linen shirt, was the first to calculate.
Gu Xia chose him to be the bookkeeper, and the bookkeeping work would be handed over to him in the future. In addition, he is also responsible for helping the housekeeper. Otherwise, just keeping accounts will not work.
In the end, Gu Xia did not forget to warn the newly appointed bookkeeper: "When you do things in Zhuangzi, you can not be clever, but you can't have bad intentions and have thoughts that you shouldn't have." Don't look at the young age of your owner, so you try to do tricks in the account book. If you tell me to find a problem with the ledger, report it to the official, and the consequences are not something you can afford. ”
"Don't worry, master, I will never have two hearts for the owner. I swear with my life that I will never do anything to the ledger. The middle-aged man solemnly promised that he was not a treacherous villain.
"Do a good job, I can't lose you." Gu Xia Enwei is in awe.
After the housekeeper and the bookkeeper in the Zhuangzi were selected, Gu Xia arranged work for everyone else. Half of them are responsible for taking care of the crops. The other half does the work in the village.
These people are industrious, and they are divided into the work, and they do not delay, but they all go to work. Zhuangzi suddenly became lively.
Jiang Xiaoyue took the housekeeper and the bookkeeper to familiarize themselves with the environment of Zhuangzi and told them about taking care of Zhuangzi.
Both of them respected this teenage girl very much, and did not despise her because she was a child.
Gu Xia was very satisfied with the performance of these people, she lived in the Zhuangzi for ten days in a row, and she taught everything that should be taught to Xiaoyue.
Xiaoyue is already able to take care of Zhuangzi, and there is a housekeeper to help him, and the housekeeper is only in his twenties, but he is very calm.
Gu Xia was very relieved of the housekeeper and asked him to take care of Xiaoyue more, and the housekeeper also kept answering.
"Sister, if you stay a few more days, I can't bear you." Jiang Xiaoyue hugged Gu Xia's body and didn't let go, and the little girl cried with snot and tears.
