Chapter 27 Enlistment Maid

Yu Niang didn't insist anymore, and tasted a bite of the dish that Xu Mama put in the bowl, and it tasted good. It's not bad compared to the chefs outside.

Yu Niang felt that she had really found a treasure and ate it happily. After eating, Mama Xu went to bring warm water to rinse Yu Niang's mouth.

After eating, Yu Niang ate in the yard, and Mama Xu took the food down and went to the kitchen to eat by herself.

After Mama Xu finished eating, Yu Niang came to Mama Xu's room to take a look, and was relieved to find that she had bought all the mattresses and quilts.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Yu Niang planned to go back to the inn. Mama Xu lit the lantern and prepared to send Yu Niang back.

Yu Niang refused, she was full of martial arts, how could she let her send it, and then she would have to follow her back.

Seeing that Mama Xu insisted on sending it, Yu Niang had to show her martial arts to reassure her.

Mama Xu was startled when she saw Yu Niang jump on the roof.

I didn't see the master jump down again, and there was nothing, so I believed that the master knew martial arts, and I no longer asked to follow him to the inn.

After saying goodbye to Mama Xu with a lantern, he did not return to the inn, but went to South Street and came to the enemy's mansion.

Because the time was still early, the people in the house had not rested, and the jade lady who was lying on the tree heard someone asking the housekeeper about recruiting the maid, saying that the family asked him to ask about the relationship.

Hearing this news, Yu Niang's eyes lit up. How to find the other party's incriminating evidence, if you get mixed up in this mansion, and then find a way to inquire, maybe you will find some clues?

Thinking of a good idea, Yu Niang stopped guarding here and went back to the inn to sleep peacefully.

Early the next morning, Yu Niang came to Yang's house and said to Mama Xu: "Mama, I may not come over for some things these days, if the people in the line send someone over, you can help me arrange it first." As for the housekeeper?"

The housekeeper's affairs are not easy to arrange, but she can't let the family wait like this.

Yu Niang knows that a good housekeeper is very sought-after, and if she misses it like this, she will regret it.

After thinking for a while, Yu Niang said again: "If the housekeeper comes, you let him live in the house first, and then help me send a letter to the inn first."

When I have time to go back and see it, I'll find a way to come back and see it. When the time comes, it will be decided whether it will work or not. ”

"Slaves obey!"

Yu Niang gave Xu Mama another 500 taels of silver, and asked her to buy some things to be used at home, such as: cloth, cotton, embroidery thread and other things used at home.

If you are not in a hurry to ask for it later, you can wait for the housekeeper to come and buy it. Then look at Tim.

After everything was ordered, Mama Xu also left. Yu Niang hurriedly went back to the room to change into some old women's clothes, and went to the enemy's Liang Mansion to apply for the maid, but it was estimated that she would not be able to catch up if she was late.

By the time Yu Niang arrived at the Liang Mansion, there was already a long queue in front of the door.

Yu Niang hurriedly lined up to the end, waiting for the steward of the Liang Mansion to come out. There was also a queue of people behind the station, and by the time the Liang Mansion steward came out, the line had already reached the end of the street.

The people queuing up in front of the door, seeing that the steward came out, chatted with the people in front and behind, guessing how many people wanted to buy?

Yu Niang stood motionless, listening to the discussion of the people around her, and Yu Niang only looked up for a moment and then lowered her head to line up.

Yu Niang's martial arts skills are high, and her hearing is much better than ordinary people. She heard the steward in front of her say, "Cast out all these people who are close to each other." ”

The nurse who was holding a long stick behind him hurriedly stepped forward and responded, "Yes." ”

The formation that frightened those who had been speaking immediately stood up straight.

Then, I saw a few nursing homes with long sticks coming over and knocking out all those who looked average.

Naturally, some people are unwilling to be excluded. Then Yu Niang saw several people running to the steward, wanting to explain that she had not spoken.

But the steward didn't listen at all, and directly let people drag him out.

There are also organic spirits or people who have been here before, and they took out broken silver from their sleeves and quietly stuffed it into the hand of the guardian who was pulling him next to him.

The nurse naturally took it, stuffed the silver into his waist, and drove the person to the end of the line, and the person who gave the silver immediately lined up again.

The people next to him obviously saw it, but no one dared to speak again. Yu Niang also saw it, and when she saw the strange looks of the people around her, she knew that even the maid had her own competition.

When he was queuing up to choose someone, the steward sat at the table in front of the door, and let the girls who were queuing outside line up one by one to come to him.

The questions asked are also very simple, mainly asking: "What is your name, where is the person, is there anyone in the house, is there a dead deed or a living deed?"

Basically, that's all about it. Yu Niang was not interested after listening for a while. Standing in line with peace of mind, waiting.

Soon the line was in front of Yu Niang, and after the previous person left, Yu Niang walked to the table, pretending to be submissive and reporting the basic information to the steward.

As for the contract, Yu Niang signed it for half a year. This surprised the bookkeeper who was in charge of writing the contract for him.

Generally, those who sell themselves into the house as maids will sign the living deed for at least three years.

No matter how little it is, no one will sign it, the time is too short, and many owners basically don't pay the silver, and even have to post it upside down to the house for food, clothing, housing and other silver.

Besides, in such a short period of time, which master dares to use you, basically these people are doing miscellaneous work when they enter the house, and they have to do all the heavy work, and they have to paste silver upside down.

The steward, who was originally slow and careless, heard Yu Niang's voice, looked up at Yu Niang and said, "Well! ”

I thought: Finally, a decent one has come, and the lord will definitely reward me when he knows it.

The bookkeeper who wrote the contract next to him was so happy to see that the steward was so happy, and hurriedly handed him the written contract in his hand.

The steward didn't look at the contract carefully, so he took the contract to Yu Niang and said, "Girl, press your handprint!"

Seeing that the steward hadn't read the contract, the bookkeeper stepped forward and reminded the steward, "Lao Zhang, take a closer look at the contract?"

"Hmm!" (second voice) Steward Zhang looked at the account room with some confusion.

The bookkeeper didn't speak, but pointed to the contract in his hand and winked at him.

Steward Zhang opened the contract and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, he found something wrong. How is it only six months? How is this going to work?

So, he put away the contract and said to Yu Niang: "Girl, wait a minute, the amount of silver on this is wrong, and I will ask someone to write a new copy for you." ”

He turned his head and pretended to be angry at the account office and said, "What's the matter? The amount of silver can also be written incorrectly, can you still do this account office? Why don't you hurry up and rewrite it." ”

The bookkeeper understood, and immediately nodded and said, "Yes! ”

Yu Niang stood in front of the table, watching the two of them frowning there. Although I don't know the specific thing, there must be something boring. I was secretly vigilant.

After a while, the account room re-wrote a contract and handed it to Steward Zhang, and then took twenty taels of silver from the account room and put it on the table, and said to Yu Niang: "Girl, this is right." Press the handprint, and the twenty taels are yours. ”

Twenty-two or six months' living deed has so much silver?

Sure enough, when I picked up the contract and looked at it, I found that it was not a living deed at all, but a dead deed, which is why there was so much silver.

She said that this steward was so kind, it turned out to be like this.

Yu Niang was very angry, but in order to take revenge, she endured it and said to Steward Zhang: "Steward, this is a death contract, and what I want to sign is a living deed." ”

Yu Niang's words made Steward Zhang and the account room stunned, and Steward Zhang said in surprise: "Are you literate?"
