3 hearts

The male servant was originally from the suburbs of Nanjing. He was also a middle-aged farmer. He planted more than ten acres of good land. He was diligent and knew a lot of ways to make money. He sold duck eggs, pickles and other things, and his life was good. However, there were unexpected situations in the world and people had good fortune. In the 45th year of Wanli, he was fled by floods due to local floods. The family was unlucky and robbed all their property by robbers. [In fact, the local wealthy family ordered their family to pretend to be robbers and seize land, otherwise they would not have hurt people] When they fell to the road and waited for death, the young Mr. Zhang came back to sell goods in Nanjing. He couldn't bear it and took more than ten victims as slaves. He was lucky to be selected and has been slaves in the Zhang family since then.

After arriving at the Zhang family, he became Zhang Shan, and his wife was called Zhang Qing. Because she was not a child from her family and had no skill in serving others, Jiangnan's side job was completely unsuccessful in Shandong. The couple had to work as a miscellaneous person in the outer courtyard of Zhang's house. They only changed to the guard Zhang Tianhong as the retreating house less than half a month ago. Of course, they should be called Liu Shan now.

As for his age, he is actually only in his early forties. Modern people can say with shamelessness that they are boys. He can't figure out exactly how old they are. Liu Baiyu couldn't help but be amazed. It's not surprising that he didn't know many farmers in the old days who didn't know their exact age.

"It's better to guard the house here than to be a servant in the mansion? At least it's very decent."

What's the use of being decent? I'm just a slave! Is there any decent thing to say? Liu Shan smiled bitterly and said, "When I say that, I'm not going to live here, I'm not going to be careless and no one cares about it. I'm not going to be decent, but I'm just having a hard time making a living."

It turned out that he and his wife worked in the mansion. Although each person's monthly money was only two cents of silver, they didn't spend money on their meals. They were all in the public housing expenses. Not only were they not hungry, but they could also make a living with their children. After changing to work here, they were nominally half a manager. His monthly money increased to five cents, but because they started their own family, they all spent their own money on their own, and their children couldn't make a living. It was a time when the thirteenth and fourteenth children could eat again, and the family was 7 cents of silver. It was really a bit difficult.

Liu Baiyu asked curiously: "Why, the child has no wages, aren't they considered the eldest brother? The eldest brother is good?"

"Master Zhang is naturally a good person, but many of them are rules. Master Zhang has to follow the rules. These are all conventions. It is also my own life. The children have never been a bad boy." Liu Shan shook his head repeatedly, "If you don't work as a servant, you don't send money to the mansion, you rely on me to support me." He sighed again, "I originally wanted the girl to go to the inner house to work as a businessman, and at least she could earn her usual money. The girl was not good and could not take on it. It was not enough to hold the housekeeper's wife. Ten taels of silver were not enough. How could my family save so much money!"

**It has a long history and is omnipresent. Liu Baiyu sighed. Even being a girl had to spend money. However, it is not surprising that Wu'er, in order to be a business in the Yihongyuan, a public institution in "Dream of Red Mansions", was not inferior to the promotion of the Liu family.

"Now that you are working as a job here, are you willing?" Liu Baiyu asked in a slowed down.

Liu Shan looked at the second master who was wearing Ming Dynasty clothes in a bad state and violated his parents' body and hair, and responded honestly: "The young people are servants, so there is no place to be willing or not. They are men, but they are men's orders."

Liu Baiyu nodded and ordered him to lead the way. He first checked the entire house. The house was small and exquisite. Every time he entered a yard, it was a bright and dark pattern. The first was a living room and study room, the second was a building, which was a living place, and the third was a kitchen, a firewood house, a mule and horse shed, and a self-produced well. Although the house was not new, it was built very carefully, and it was built in blue bricks, which was very solid. Considering that this house was in a hidden valley, there were secret passages and Mr. Wang’s house.

The connection should be used to avoid disasters in emergencies. The furniture and furnishings in the room look very simple, but the daily necessities are indeed well prepared. There are also many piles of rice, bacon, dried fish, and firewood, rice, oil and salt from the high house. Liu Shan handed the gifts and asked the men to check it out. Liu Baiyu felt that the things in this time and space were not very good, so he didn't care much. Liu Shan, who couldn't resist proving his innocence, was almost crying, so he had to take the note and check it out there.

The account books of this era are extremely simple. They checked them soon after. When they returned to the hall, Liu Shan sent the house account again. Liu Baiyu, who was a little annoyed just now, didn't look at it much. After looking at it, he could roughly match it, so he accepted it directly and was finished.

It was not that Liu Baiyu didn't expect to reward these things directly, but he suddenly thought of a problem.

On this gift list, rice is 40 stones, and the rice price at the lowest point in the late Apocalypse is 40 taels of silver.

It is equivalent to the four-year salary of Liu Shan and his wife. Now he will be 40 taels at a time. How much is the reward in the future?

He met him for the first time, and he had no credit or hard work. He would give so many things at once, what would he think? Maybe he would be frightened directly.

Although it is naturally the best to pull him over as a personal servant in the future, the method is a problem. This management is not enough to spend money, or the management of spending money is only suitable for small companies that exist in the short term. If you want to expand such a broad model, it will definitely not work.

Liu Baiyu felt that it was only a small favor at the beginning, and gradually made him feel our benefits. Over time, he naturally looked at himself. Liu Shan was a sad person with a dull expression and a disheveled look. He was not a shrewd and capable person. He was afraid of not being able to do big things, and he was also reliable in doing small things and was easy to control. He still had to give some small favors to such people, but they had to be arranged..."

As he was talking, the wife of the Liu family respectfully came to ask for instructions on how to arrange dinner. Liu Baiyu looked at the watch and found that the miscellaneous things were the most wasted. Before he knew it, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

"I won't need supper for now, and I'll ask your whole family to come."

At the command of Liu Baiyu, all the family came. The wife of the Gao family looked like a young woman in her 30s who had put on makeup and painted her makeup. She was black and thin, and she looked down without saying anything. She looked like a person who was not good at speaking. Looking at her children, the boy looked average and had a small and small appearance, and her eyes had not lost her agility. Although her parents were serious, she was always secretly looking at Liu Baiyu's novel clothes. The girl was a little different from this family. Her skin was much whiter than her family, her eyes were big, her nose was small and upright, her figure was taller than the boy, and she had no foot binding. She looked like Michelle Yeung from the Girls' Generation, with slender body and long legs. Liu Baiyu's eyes were probably more than 1.7 meters tall, and she couldn't help but feel excited. She asked softly:

"What's the name?"

The girl didn't expect to ask her first, and looked at Liu Baiyu in surprise, but couldn't speak for a moment.

"You are asking you, be smart!" Liu Shan reminded, and then bowed to smooth things over. "The girl has never seen the world. Besides, every girl's family is not famous..." Although she felt that Liu Baiyu's eyes were not normal, Liu Shan didn't think of anything else. After all, according to the standards of this time and space, her daughter is ugly, and she dare not think about the matter of a maid who is connected to the house.

"I...well...I'm called Zhang...I should be named Zhang, the second master's surname, I should be named Liu Dazhuang!"

I xxoo! Liu Baiyu almost sprayed out the tea in his mouth, and then there was a word embarrassing on his face, which looked like he was holding back his smile. Liu Dazhuang simply called Gao Dazhuang, this name is really extraordinary. The beauty called this name, it is really... But after saying this, Liu Baiyu thought about it carefully, and the height of this girl stands out among the slaves of the Wang family was a bit worthy of her name...

The Liu Shan family looked at the new owner in amazement, unable to think of anything funny about this name. Do the girls in their own family grow tall?

But he is the master, so naturally he can't make a mistake. Liu Shan had to smile and said, "It makes the men laugh... I am a countryman, a girl, and I have never named him seriously..."

"So, if that's the case, just call it Michelle Lau. It's very similar to a beautiful woman I wanted to marry home when I was young, but her name is Michelle Yang." Liu Baiyu laughed, "That's right, don't have a name, just choose this."
