"It's because we didn't teach the girl well. We told her carefully when we came here. We know that the eldest lady is kind and easy to serve. We sent the girl in because of our relationship. I didn't expect the child to serve the master like this."
"Fortunately, I didn't make a big mistake. I promised my mother that I wouldn't punish her, but I was going to give the dowry money, but now it's gone. I don't need you to take him back."
"For the sake of your hard work, I will give you one last chance."
"Thank you, Young Mistress, just give your orders."
When a girl is a big girl, she has a lot of money, and the family counts on this income to support their families. They all come from hard backgrounds. Without this income, it will affect the whole family.
"Your man used to be the second steward in the capital, right?"
Li Yusui pointed to one of the women.
"Returning to the young lady, my man used to work as the second manager in the shop Zhuangzi on the Baihe side of Tongzhou, the capital. It has been more than ten years, and I can also run errands."
"The young master is in charge of the embankment. There are many chores in front of me. Can your man and the boy in the family help?"
Li Yu glanced at it and asked.
"Yes, I have done it before, and I can do it with a little snack. Just watch me do it."
The mother-in-law immediately responded.
"The young master has been doing errands on the river embankment for the past few days. He is a bit busy. If he is willing to do it, he can go to the young master. If I do well, I will continue to use it. If I don't do well, there will be no second time. I will stay at home."
The meaning of this is very clear. I can be used to continue to lift up, but not to be pulled down. I have a dowry to manage things, which is much easier to use than you.
"Thank you for your kindness, master."
The mother-in-law knocked her head purple.
"I have a Zhuangzi who needs an errand boy. He needs to be smart and mainly do some chores. Is there anyone who can do it?"
Hitting is hitting, and lifting is also necessary. These are the old people of the Gu family. They are more loyal than outsiders, but they are also smooth, and they are easy to use when they are used well.
"My boy is capable."
A woman with sharp eyes and hands quickly raised her head and raised her hands.
"The second boy of my family has worked in the Zhuangzi in the outer courtyard before, and also worked as a clerk in the shop. It has been seven or eight years, and he is capable."
"Okay, I'll give you a chance to go find me as a dowry steward Qi, and tell him it's my order, Xiuying, and I'll send her a note to find someone later."
"yes."
"Okay, the rest go back first, I will think of you when I have a chance."
"yes."
The others complained that they didn't take the chance, and the more they thought about it, the more angry they became. Looking at their daughter, they couldn't beat each other, and when Li Yu left, they stood up and turned around and slapped her again, even beating and scolding her. I went home with my hair down, and it was a good fight when I went back.
The two women who got the chance breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and whispered to the other old women.
"It's easy to serve in the future, cheer up, this master is not easy to fool."
"That's right, you guys have the chance, what are we going to do, my man still needs to take medicine, chewing it for a month is enough, you **** girl... I must beat her to death when I go back."
The mother-in-law gritted her teeth and hated it to death.
"At any rate, Madam is benevolent and gave some money back."
"Yes, Madam is a kind-hearted person, she doesn't like to make trouble, she is easy to serve, and it is really easy to live."
"These few don't cherish, go back and find someone to marry."
The women cursed and went home, closed the door when they went back, and beat the girl up again. The screams of crying could be heard clearly across the yard, and they couldn't get out of bed for several days.
Immediately find someone to marry the girl. If the female college is not selected, it is useless to keep it. If you don’t share the burden for the family, marry early, and exchange some dowry to help the family.
Li Yu easily dealt with several women, and severely punished several girls.
"Master, aren't you short of people, why haven't you arranged everything?"
Xiuying didn't quite understand, the master was short of manpower.
"I can't make it up all at once. I have to let them know who is the master and who is the master. If you make a mistake, you have to pay a price. If I don't punish, it doesn't mean I am willing. It is because of the reputation of the Gu family and the current difficulties."
"If it's all made up, it's not a punishment, it's a reward. I made a mistake and I made up all the vacancies in my family. How can there be such a good thing? I told them that I could have given them all the benefits, but your girl did something wrong. , it’s gone.”
"Oh, this is called killing chickens and monkeys, and it will also make them respect you more, so that they can be used in the future."
"Yes, hitting the board alone is not enough. These old people can use it. After all, they are old servants of the Gu family. They are loyal to the Gu family and will not go outside to betray the Gu family. However, there is a certain way to use them. They must be obedient. If you feed too much in one breath, getting on the pole is not a business."
Li Yu shook his head, the first step was to subdue the elders of the Gu family, they knew too much about the Gu family, and their subordinates were capable, but they were disobedient, they didn't take Gu Lei's mother and son seriously, and had to wait and see.
This is not something a loyal slave should think about. It is still too big, but it is better to use outsiders at hand than to use them. Outsiders have more thoughts and take longer. It is better to subdue them and use them instead of worrying.
Gu Lei's tiredness is caused by the slaves who work for foreign workers, don't work hard, don't worry about it and don't give advice.
What Li Yu has to do is to raise Gu Lei's head first, so that the Gu family's servants will follow him to do things seriously, so that the Gu family mansion can run smoothly, and Gu Lei doesn't have to worry about the trivial work outside.
The matter of Gu Lin’s servants is just an introduction. By the way, we will screen these old servants and pick out the ones that can be used. First, get rid of the thorns, and then others will be able to act upon hearing the news.
The people here are disobedient, and Gu Lei doesn't know what's going on with the people in the clan. He is naturally passive, busy in front and back, and often capsizes without knowing what is going on. A loyal and useful servant can be of great help.
Li Yu entered the main hall, and Grandpa Gu glanced at her, "Those slaves have taken care of it?"
"Almost, after the bait is cast, we will see if anyone comes to me."
Li Yu smiled.
"Well, those few are good players, men and sons are capable, but Leizi didn't understand, arrogant, I don't bother to mention him, let him understand after a little bit of trouble."
Master and servant are mutual achievement and mutual support. Dealing with people is not easy.
"Don't worry, I have reserved all the vacancies, just waiting for someone to take the bait."
Grandpa Gu smiled all over his face, his eyes were gentle and loving, "Good boy, I've worked hard for you, let Wan'er help you, I've thought about it carefully, if it doesn't work, let Wan'er marry, I hurt her a lot, and I can't bear her to marry If you are wronged, just stay home."
"Okay, listen to you, even if you want to marry, you have to find a good one, so take your time."
After having dinner with the old man at noon, Li Yu went back to the house to rest. In the afternoon, when there was nothing else to do, he went to the mother-in-law's yard and sent the girl he had chosen to explain a few words.
Nurse Yan not only selected three maids, but also two women, one in the kitchen, and the other strictly in charge of the yard.
There are only three girls, and one is missing, so I won’t make up for it for the time being. Whoever has the ability to climb up depends on personal ability.
