When I came to the gate, I saw that the gate had also been washed and patched with red paint, so that the whole door face was renewed.

Yu Niang nodded with satisfaction, and then walked into the courtyard, the trees in it had been replanted, the martial arts training ground had been renovated, and all the rooms had been repaired.

The garden has not been altered much, and the road has not been resurfaced. The room where my parents had lived was also empty, and there were incense cases and futons in it.

Yu Niang asked someone to re-engrave the tablets for the ancestors in the family and put them inside, and put the tablets of her father and mother and eldest brother on it.

Seeing that the foreman basically restored the house to the way it was eight years ago, he even asked someone to help him do things like making tablets.

Yu Niang was very satisfied with the foreman, and handed him the one hundred taels of silver that she had promised him before.

The foreman happily thanked Yu Niang and said that he could find him if he had anything to do in the future. Yu Niang also agreed.

After the foreman left, Yu Niang went to the well to fetch water, carefully wiped each tablet, and then put it according to the generation.

When he rubbed his father's new Yang Zhongyi and his mother Yang Liu's tears, he couldn't stop flowing down anymore, holding the tablets of the three of them and crying, and only after crying did he continue to wipe up. The tablets of the three people were placed at the bottom.

I wiped all the places in the room back and forth. The bowing futon was also re-aligned. By the time all this was done, it was already noon.

Yu Niang left Yang's house and ate some noodles on the way, so she went to the house to choose the next person she wanted.

When the Chinese people in the line saw Yu Niang coming, they happily greeted him and said, "Childe, the person you want has been prepared for you, so let them come up and choose for you." ”

"Let them come!" said Yu Niang, following his guidance to the table and sitting down.

In a few moments, twenty or thirty people entered the house, men and women, old and young.

Most of them were yellow, hungry and thin, but they were in good spirits, and they all looked at Yu Niang expectantly, with two exceptions.

Yu Niang looked at the two people carefully, one was a woman in her thirties, and the other was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, both of whom were thinner than the others.

Moreover, there was despair in her eyes, and the woman's face was gradually showing a dead air. It seems that the woman is in trouble and has more suicidal tendencies.

So, Yu Niang pointed at the two and said, "What's the matter with these two people? This is the person you introduced to Ben Gongzi?"

"Liu Gongzi is angry! The Chinese heard Yu Niang's dissatisfaction, and stepped forward to explain to Yu Niang with some nervousness.

"These two mothers and sons, who fled from the famine, came out together as a family, and later the man died of illness on the road, spending a lot of silver.

She came to the capital with her two sons, and the family of three was planning to go to the capital to find a temporary job to do it so that they could exchange some copper plates.

Unexpectedly, the youngest son was sick again, and the only money in his hand was spent, and the family had to sell themselves to see a doctor.

The little one had been raised with decoction before, but the boss didn't agree to feed him the decoction again, saying that it was too expensive to spend money, so it was better to let him die like this, and save some medicine costs.

The younger one wanted to help them, to see if they could be favored by some kind-hearted master, and gave them some money to go to the doctor first, so he brought them in.

If Childe doesn't agree, the little one will let people take them down. ”

After listening to his introduction, Yu Niang also felt some sympathy for them in her heart. But now I'm going to solve my own problems in advance, and then see if I can ask for their family.

Yu Niang first asked these men and women to stand in a row, and those who were literate and had special skills could step forward.

Standing in front accounted for a small part, and there was a girl who looked like a peugeot looking at Yu Niang with a red face, showing great excitement.

Although everyone else secretly looked at Yu Niang, most of them had respectful and fearful expressions, which were very different from her. Let Yu Niang look very unhappy, and she has been eliminated in her heart.

Yu Niang chose a few literate people from these people, and also chose female workers and cooks, and she had to stay even more if she could keep accounts.

There are also waiters and scholars for the second brother, and two who can drive the carriage are also selected, and there is one janitor, and another one who can take care of flowers and plants.

Seeing that there was no housekeeper here, I asked the Chinese to quickly find someone for her. As soon as these people enter the house, someone must manage them, otherwise they will be messed up.

Yu Niang had a brief chat with these selected people to find out what they did and what their specialties were.

On the kitchen side, an old chef who used to work as a pastry chef in the imperial dining room of the palace was appointed as the head manager.

The Chinese quietly told Yu Niang that this cook was not bought from the shop, but she came to sell herself.

It turned out to be a snack for the ladies of the palace. It's a pity that she won't stammer, she was made a scapegoat, and a leader in the imperial dining room who had a good relationship with her found someone to take care of her and sent her out of the palace to save her life.

And her family outside is dead, she herself has been serving people all her life, and she is not used to living outside alone. I want to find a master who is pleasing to the eye.

Now, she is willing to follow Yu Niang back without objection, which shows that she is also quite satisfied with Yu Niang, the new master.

Yu Niang is also very satisfied with this cook, seeing that her eyes are straight, and her words and deeds are also very regular. It's not a loss to come out of the palace.

Originally, I didn't plan to take someone back, but when I saw this cook, Yu Niang changed her mind. I'm going to take her back first, at least so that I can eat delicious snacks.

The rest of the men let him take care of it for a few days, and gave him another twenty taels of silver to ask for a doctor for the poor boy, lest his mother commit suicide in despair.

When the time comes, when the housekeeper is in place, they will be sent to the house together.

This cook's surname is Xu, and Yu Niang calls her Mama Xu. I have been in the palace for more than ten years and have never been married. In addition to making dim sum, I will also make some home-cooked food.

Yu Niang took her to the street and bought a lot of ingredients for cooking and snacks, and sent them back to Yang's house.

When she returned home, Yu Niang asked her to familiarize herself with the environment, picked a larger room for her in the inner courtyard, and took her to the kitchen to see if there was anything missing.

Mama Xu didn't say a word except for the beginning of the sentence: "Respectfully the master!" This made Yu Niang a little unaccustomed.

All these years, except for one person who was trapped under the cliff, no one spoke.

The rest of the time there is really not a time like now, when there are people around, but no one is talking.

Forget it, Mama Xu's silent personality is probably related to the environment of the palace.

Yu Niang gave the silver, and she didn't care. I went back to my room to practice first.

The room was the same one she lived in when she was a child, the largest in the inner courtyard, and the furniture inside was rebuilt.

Since the first day of coming in, there was nothing in the room except furniture.

Yu Niang plans to continue to stay in the inn for the next few days, and wait for the people in the bank to send people over before moving in, and then add in what is needed.

In the evening, Yu Niang came out of the house and found that Mama Xu had already prepared dinner and put it in the pot to warm. When she saw Yu Niang come out, she said, "The master has eaten." ”

"Mama, let's eat together! You stay at the inn with me in the evening, and there is nothing in the house now. Besides, I don't feel at ease if you live alone. Yu Niang beckoned Mama Xu to sit down and eat together.

Mama Xu disagreed, saying, "The master can't eat with the slave and maid, it's not in accordance with the rules." After speaking, he began to use chopsticks to give Yu Niang cloth vegetables.
