"Alright, Ling Niang, hurry back and pack up your and Eighth Brother's things. The carriages and horses are limited. I see that He Niang has packed up a lot here, so I will let people come in and pull them over first."
Madam Lu Sanni drank half a cup of tea and then got down to business.
"Go and ask Cuizhi. Once the things are packed, she will follow. Leave one or two of the companions in the courtyard to support you, and take the others with them."
Lu Fenghe told Liu Ye'er, the second-class girl serving tea beside him.
Qin Ling'er said everything she wanted to say, "I'll go back and clean up first. When I finish cleaning up, we'll go there first."
Cuizhi and Liu Yeer came in together to reply.
"The daily belongings of the girl and the young master have been packed, but I would like to ask the girl to tell me that my two wet nurses, Mrs. Zhang, are the children of the county prince's family. I'm afraid it is not appropriate to follow us. Although there are still
The Shao family, but the Shao family is a living contract signed from outside, but my sister is closer to the Zhang family."
Lu Fenghe was still very impressed with the two wet nurses. The Zhang family was very good. However, the Shen family gave birth to the children. Privately, she didn't want to be involved with the Shen family at all. She and the two children had nothing to do. As for the
Servant, it’s better not to get involved.
"Just take Shao with you. Zhang should give her a month's money and let her go home tomorrow."
"Yes, but she also takes the Shaw family's daughter with her, I'm afraid..."
"Both goat's milk and cow's milk are fine. Her daughter is four months old. To make up for it, it would be better if we can directly buy goat milk that produces milk."
Cuizhi agreed one by one, "I will go and make arrangements first, then follow you directly to the new house and won't come in."
Lu Fenghe nodded, "Go ahead."
Cuizhi went out, and Liu Yeer hesitated.
"But do you have something to say?"
"Mother...Mother, that's not right, girl...girl, I want to ask for mercy from the girl, please take me with you."
Liu Ye'er was second-class. Lu Fenghe remembered that she was one of the first ones to buy five years ago. Although she was sold, Lu Fenghe didn't like death contracts. She usually signed twenty-year contracts for younger children.
.
"You are from Gyeonggi, and I want to go back to Piling."
Liu Ye'er knelt down and said, "Please have mercy on me, girl. I am willing to sign a death contract and go to Piling with you."
"My father and brother don't want me anymore?"
Liu Ye'er shook her head, "No, my mother left in the second year after I entered the government. My mother was gone for more than two months, and my little sister, who was in her early five years, was sold. Now she has no whereabouts. Now she has a stepmother at home.
, I heard that I have a younger brother. I can’t go back to a home like that.”
"You can also work as an errand in the mansion safely." Lu Fenghe said.
Liu Ye'er still shook her head, "I want to follow you, but I'm already learning how to manage accounts from Sister Lufu."
After saying this, Liu Ye'er kowtowed twice more, "I beg you, girl, for mercy."
Lu Fenghe sighed. She always felt that her life was difficult, but in this world, there were countless people who had it harder than her. At least she still had a way back, and she had the Piling Lu family behind her.
As for the person in front of her, she was sold into the house by her brother. When she was asked to sign a twenty-year living contract, her brother was not happy and asked several times if she could sign a death contract. The death contract would give more money.
Liu Ye'er was already eight or nine years old at the time, but she looked about the same size as a six or seven-year-old child. They went to many places, including the lantern house by the river. Liu Ye'er's appearance was just ordinary, and she couldn't sell for the price.
If we let the Duke's Mansion go again, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Liu Ye'er to sell it.
In the end, Liu Ye'er's brother took the money from Liu Ye'er's prostitution and left happily, without even looking back at the skinny sister behind him.
Lu Fenghe knew the details of everyone in the yard.
"Don't think about it clearly. Although your body deed is in my hands, you can still be regarded as a servant of the county prince's palace. If you follow me, you will go back to your neighborhood."
Liu Yeer wants to kowtow again.
"Stop knocking and get up. Don't kneel down if you haven't made a mistake."
Liu Ye'er still replied, "I have thought about it. I will follow you wherever the girl goes."
Lu Fenghe nodded, "Then just follow."
Liu Ye'er burst into tears with gratitude, "Thank you, miss. I will repay you like a cow or a horse."
"Working hard is the reward."
After Lu Fenghe finished speaking, he then told her, "You also go out and ask other people who have signed the living contract. You have to make a decision within three days. If you follow me, you will have to leave the capital. You can also stay in the house as an errand."
, if you want to redeem yourself, then...there are still a few years left on the deed, so just a few months of monthly silver."
The amount of money required to redeem one's body is very low. Normally, if one signs a living deed, there is no chance to redeem one's body. If one wants to redeem one's body, it will be a sky-high price of money.
In the yard, in addition to little girls like Xiang Liuye'er who have signed contracts for twenty years, there are also some ladies who have been working on needlework and stoves for five or ten years. They are all skilled in crafts. Although the monthly salary is high,
But the monthly figures of May and October are not as high as the sky full of redemption money.
"When you've made your decision, tell Qing Ling and then call Lu Fu in."
Not long after Liu Ye'er went out, there was a commotion outside, and Lu Fu came in later.
Lu Fenghe handed the dried ink on the paper to Lu Fu, "Within three days, the above matters will be completed."
Lu Fu took it and looked at it carefully, "On top of this, the girl's dowry is a bit slow to arrange, and then there are the prince's medicine."
"The rest is easy to say. Unlike Zhuangzi, the horse farm has a fixed production season every year. The horse farm only sends a book every three months, and only after the end of the year will the account books and money be sent together. Now it is recorded once in early April, and it is better to get it directly.
"
"The crown prince's private property is sent in a booklet once a month, and it is recorded at the end of April. There are also outputs from the palace. In April, I give the matching cards to the second lady to check them carefully, and then I can hand them over directly."
The four people around Lu Fenghe each took care of their own affairs. Cuizhi took care of the daily lives of Lu Fenghe and Brother Lao. Lu Fu took care of the books and account books. Qing Ling took care of the clothes and dowries of several people. As for Bi He, she mainly went out to the outside world.
.
Lu Fenghe thought it would take a day or two for Lu Fu to tidy up and freshen up, but he didn't expect that he could use it directly.
"Lvfu, what will I do if I leave you?" Lu Fenghe felt that she was a good housekeeper, but in fact it was the people around her who had outstanding abilities.
Lu Fu folded the paper and put it away, "Anyway, I will serve the girl for the rest of my life and will never leave her."
"There are no additions or omissions in this booklet?"
Lufu said with certainty: "No, I thought that there would be a lot of things after the birth of my sister in May, so I sorted out all the books in April. Only the books of the girl and my sister in May were added or deleted, and the other books were not needed.
move."
"Then take them all, I'll take a quick look at them, and then you can hand them over to various places."
"yes."
Lu Fu has always been very organized in her work. She quickly brought in four or five boxes and showed them to Lu Fenghe one by one.
"This is the booklet of the racecourse. This one is the prince's private property. The booklet is a bit small. Just look at the general booklet at the top. The largest one belongs to the public school. At the end of April, the kitchen and purchase booklets were handed over to the second lady.
, This box is the body deed for the birth of the family in the house, and this box is the body deed for the living deed in our courtyard."
