Behind me is the earth

Chapter 20 020.Butler

After being quarantined as usual, everyone entered Qingcheng Town.

It is worth mentioning that, perhaps due to the cold weather in winter or the popular sentiment, the isolation time has been restored to one hour.

Erniu, who was wrapped in leather clothes, also woke up. After drinking some hot water, he regained his energy. Despite his weakness, he knelt down and acknowledged Ren Pingsheng as his master.

With the addition of three women and children, Ren Pingsheng's team expanded from six to nine.

After entering the city gate, Liu Shicheng and Ren Pingsheng said goodbye.

"Brother Shicheng also knows that we live in the same village. Come and sit down when you have time."

Ren Pingsheng raised his hand and said.

"That is, if anything happens to Brother Ren, just go to the escort agency and call me at any time. I will be there when you call."

When Liu Shicheng returned to the village this time, his father and sister both said good things about Ren Pingsheng, so that he had a good impression of Ren Pingsheng.

After parting, Ren Pingsheng and his party walked towards Ping'an Fang.

"There are so many people in Qingcheng Town."

Xiaowan followed Ren Pingsheng closely, looking at the bustling market.

Above the market, there are many shops and stalls selling various gadgets.

Although the existence of living corpses affects trade activities, it cannot completely block trade activities. After all, as long as there is profit, there will be no shortage of business activities, and the danger of living corpses has also made the escort agency's business very popular.

Especially after seven years, the era of large outbreaks of living corpses has long passed. Although they are often scattered now, and zombies occasionally appear, but usually caravans gather in groups and have bodyguards, there will not be a big outbreak. risks of.

Compared with living corpses, what affects commerce more is the ubiquitous and excessively exploitative local governments, which make it difficult for businessmen to move forward under layers of pressure.

However, although important towns like Qingcheng Town lack the prosperity of the past, economic activities will not disappear.

After staying in the village for a long time, when she came to such a lively place, the mature-looking Xiaowan couldn't help but feel excited, showing a bit of coquettishness.

When the group walked through the streets and alleys and arrived in front of the Minister's Mansion on Ping'anfang Street, Xiaowan looked at the majestic high-walled gate and felt even more excited.

"Liu Shu, go to Yazina and tell him to come over in the next two days to handle the transfer."

After opening the courtyard door and entering the Minister's Mansion, Ren Pingsheng said to Liu Shu.

"good."

Liu Shu nodded and hurried away.

Next, there is a vigorous cleaning!

The third courtyard is too big, with a total of 42 rooms, and it takes until night to clean it.

The yard was carefully swept, and the room was wiped with a rag! Especially Xiaowan, who was the most enthusiastic when holding the rag and banging!

Ren Pingsheng can be regarded as officially buying a house and settling down in this world, and he has completely taken root here.

Liu Qiang, the four of them, plus Er Niu, Ren Pingsheng arranged a reverse-seating room in the front yard for the five of them.

Xiaowan slept in the west wing, while Sun Qiaomei and Cui'er lived in the backyard.

Everyone had laid their bedding and felt relaxed.

"Liu Shu, when I came here I saw a restaurant in Ping'an Fang, so I went to order a table of wine and food to be delivered to celebrate our move tonight.

Brother Qiangzi, go call Shicheng and come have a drink together. "

Ren Pingsheng arranged for the two of them to go out.

That night, the north wind whistled outside the window, and the house was full of people. The rice wine was warmed on the fire. Everyone moved their chopsticks like flying. The dishes on the table were all gone, and the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves.

Even Sun Qiaomei and the three people who had just joined in gradually calmed down during this meal.

When it was almost ten o'clock, the yard became quiet.

"Xiaowan."

Ren Pingsheng has moved the outdoor power supply, electric mattress, etc. out of the transfer space.

Xiaowan walked to the west bedroom of the main house and helped Ren Pingsheng tidy up the bedding.

"Xiaowan, tomorrow, in addition to buying some stoves, charcoal fires, furniture, bedding, clothes, and books, I also need to buy some maids and rice cooks. You go back and think about it tonight."

Ren Pingsheng said while drinking tea.

"Well, this house is too big, and it needs a few maids to help clean it."

Xiaowan lowered her head slightly, curling her hands around the corners of her clothes.

"From now on, you will be the housekeeper of this house. When you have nothing to do, think more about how to manage this house well."

Ren Pingsheng looked at the little girl opposite.

"Do you really want me to be the butler?"

Xiaowan raised her head.

Ren Pingsheng nodded and said matter-of-factly: "Of course, you are the person I trust most in the world."

At this time, Xiaowan's heart was beating fast, and a look of shame appeared on her face, but more importantly, she was excited.

"When you become a housekeeper, you will have people under your command, and you will encounter more things. Remember what I told you, be calm in every big event.

When encountering something, you should observe more, learn more, and summarize more. You should have the discernment to know the passing of a deer by the sound of the leaves in the grass, the sensitivity to know the coming of a tiger in the wind, and the insight to know the autumn of the world with each leaf and color. "

Ren Pingsheng took the opportunity to preach to Xiaowan.

He spared no effort in the development of young girls. Whether it is physical nutrition or academic training, he is arming Xiaowan's body and mind with modern knowledge theories.

As a teenage girl, her views have not yet been fully formed and she accepts new knowledge very quickly. With her intelligence, she has a high chance of becoming his close assistant in the future.

"I see."

Xiaowan nodded.

"I'll give you this money. From now on, you, the housekeeper, will be responsible for buying clothes, shopping for groceries, buying food, coal and other chores in the house."

Ren Pingsheng handed a small bag of money to Xiaowan.

When Xiaowan returned to the spacious west wing with the money bag in her hand, she lay down on the big mahogany bed, turned on the warm electric mattress, and lay in the freshly made cotton quilt. She thought about the young master saying that the person she trusted the most was herself, and the corner of her mouth was filled with laughter. I couldn't help but feel better, feeling more secure.

She was so excited that she couldn't sleep. She lay on the bed and took out the silver in her purse to count. There was no scale, but she weighed about ten taels of silver.

The annual salary of an official in the county government is only twenty taels of silver. This is the first time in Xiaowan's life that she has so much money!

She was holding the money bag and thinking about how to choose the maids, helpers, and cooks tomorrow.

"First of all, the maids should choose those who are fourteen or fifteen years old. They are not much older than themselves and are easier to manage. Moreover, the maids of this age have greater strength and endurance and can do more work. They should also be more careful and can Serve the good young master.

The rice lady not only wants good craftsmanship, but also wants someone with a family and a house in the city, someone with a clean financial background, and an honest personality. She can also let Sun Qiaomei work in the kitchen with her, which will make people more reassured. "

"And the young master asked me to take care of the family's money in the future, and I have to keep good accounts of the income and expenditure. I remember that the young master had a book on accounting methods. I haven't had time to read it yet, but I have to take it and study it carefully tomorrow... ···”

I don’t know how long it took before a slight snoring sounded.

The big flame "pop-pop" jumped a few times at the head of the bed and then went out.

Only the dark room was left, with a few charming laughters ringing out from time to time, and it was unknown what Xiaowan was dreaming about in her dream.

The contract status has been changed, thank you for your support! (づ ̄3 ̄)づ╭~
