The uncle's house in Zhongxian County is very big. It used to be the house of a criminal minister. It was later taken back by the Ministry of Internal Affairs after it was raided. It was renovated after the emperor gave it to him. Tian Minyan also re-planned it after the house was given to him last year.
Everywhere is brand new.
Because the old man and the Jiang family also came, Tian Minyan arranged for them to live in Songbai Hall. Naturally, Tian Huairen and Luo family lived in the main courtyard. There were five main rooms in the main courtyard, as well as east and west wing rooms.
, Xiao Yaya is still young, so naturally she lives in the main courtyard with Luo Shi and others.
Tian Minrui is thirteen years old. In a wealthy family, she should have lived alone and moved to the front yard. Although Luo was reluctant to part with it, Tian Minyan said that since she came to Kyoto, she should abide by this rule to avoid being criticized by others.
My reputation is not good either. You know, those censors who have nothing to do but have enough to eat will accuse you of extravagance and waste even if you have too much food to eat.
Therefore, Tian Minrui was arranged to live in the front courtyard, Juluo Garden, which is the courtyard closest to the main courtyard. Xiaowu also said that he had grown into a young man and deserved a separate courtyard, so he chose Cuizhuxuan next to Juluo Garden.
As for Tian Minyan herself, as a boudoir girl, she lived in the inner house. She had already chosen a quiet courtyard, named it Xiaoyao Xiaozhu, and decorated it with her own hands. It was a two-story pavilion.
It was already dusk when the people were moving, and the sky was already getting dark. The food was cooked in the big kitchen, and everyone ate and settled in their own places without mentioning anything.
After breakfast the next morning, Tian Minyan asked all the servants of Zhong County's uncle's house to come to the main courtyard to recognize and have their portraits taken.
Because the master didn't arrive, the servants he bought were few, only about thirty men and women. When Tian Minyan and the others didn't arrive, the second steward of Prince Xian's Mansion, Deputy General Manager Zhang, was helping to take care of them. Now that the master is here, the staff
Plans will definitely have to be rearranged.
She also invited the old man and the others. Not to mention the length of time the old man and the others have lived here, she should also let them know that living in Kyoto may seem wealthy, but raising people is also a huge expense. Don't always say that they are living a good life.
How to be comfortable and relaxed.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the servants arrived and stood in the spacious courtyard of the main courtyard. The serious master was not seen, but only two girls sitting at the side were seen. The servants looked at each other in confusion. This is the county master.
They knew about the maid in front of them, but how could they be singing this song now?
They vaguely knew the identity of their master in the past. The population of Zhongxian County Bofu was simple, and there were only a few serious masters. It was not like other wealthy families who had a lot of concubines and concubines. They just didn't know what position they would be assigned to.
Up.
After a while, Tian Minyan came out. She first ordered the gatekeeper, Lao Jiang, and let them out after recognizing them, so that the huge Zhongxian County Mansion could not even find a gatekeeper. Then she asked the servants to go to Baimei.
Jixiangna re-registers the population information, who is a family member of whom, what are their specialties, and if they have worked as an errand for other people before, what position they held.
There were only about thirty servants, and the registration of information was completed quickly. Tian Minyan quickly took the roster in her hand, scanned it around, and first ordered two girls to come out and changed their names to Magpie and Magpie to serve the old man.
They provided for their daily living, and also appointed a young man named Dafu to serve the old man.
Next, there are those who tidy up the garden, the gatekeeper, the caretaker, the one who washes the water, the one who does needlework, the one who pours night scent... The kitchen is still managed by the former Jiang family and now by a woman named Xiao, and there are
Three fire girls.
Tian Minyan called down one by one to arrange errands. The servants were shocked when they heard this, but they were relieved. No wonder they asked what their specialties were when they registered just now. It turned out that they were used for this. All these arrangements were made by themselves.
Those who are good at it will not always be used in that position, and there will basically be more than two people in each position.
It took more than an hour to arrange everything one by one. Everyone in the courtyard has been assigned people. Following Luo Shi is Aunt Rong. They are new here. Whether it is visiting or doing household chores, Luo Shi needs someone to help her.
, Grandma Rong is the most suitable candidate, and can also help suppress those with small thoughts.
You can't become fat with one bite. If you don't understand, you can only learn slowly. How to be the mistress of such a big family? It's not just about cooking for the family, washing clothes and raising children. Housework is very important, and all the mistresses should be
If you don't do anything wrong, others will look down upon you and thus look down upon the education of your children.
Therefore, Tian Minyan placed Aunt Rong next to Luo Shi, not expecting Luo Shi to be able to do everything, but she also didn't expect Luo Shi to be dumbfounded and not understand anything.
As for the male master, especially the people around the two young masters, Tian Minyan was more cautious, and almost did not check the net worth clearly. The servants selected were smart and intelligent, and the girls who served daily life were older, honest and steady.
Being a maid or something like that.
As for Tian Minyan's own yard, it is inevitable that the eldest maid will be lucky and wishful. There are also two second-class maids, a third-class maid and a rough servant. Grandma Gu is also following her in the yard to take care of daily life.
Lin Xiaoquan is still the chief housekeeper, and Lin Xiao's family is arranged to be the steward of the inner house, which has to make other servants jealous. It is good to follow Uncle Zhongxian from the beginning, and the position of the whole family is a good position, then
The Jiang family's kitchen is full of oil and water. This also shows the attitude of Tian Minyan and others. As long as they are sincere to their master, the master will not forget his roots and will not treat them badly.
"When you serve as an errand in Zhong County Uncle's Mansion, no matter who you have served in the past or what great merits you have, this County King will not care about you. Now that you have come to Zhong County County Bo Mansion, you must abide by the rules of Zhong County County Bo Mansion. This County Lord requires you to
What is more important than obedience is sincerity. Anyone who cheats, cheats, or is ungrateful to the Lord will be directly beaten to death or his whole family will be sold." Tian Minyan looked at the servants with cold eyes and said coldly: "Of course, if you become a bad person, Zhong
The county uncle’s office will not treat you badly, you should do your job well, the master will not see it, but will he hear it?"
"A slave must be loyal and have no second thoughts. He will not dare to betray his master and be ungrateful."
"Well, very good!" Tian Minyan nodded, and then said to Bai Mei: "Bai Mei, please tell the rules of the job in public."
"Yes."
The servants looked at each other again, what are the rules of the job?
Tian Minyan was sitting on a chair drinking tea. This code was written down by her before. It is based on the workplace code of modern enterprises. If it is implemented, I believe it will be more efficient.
When the subordinates heard the rules one by one, their minds went straight. It’s no wonder that almost every position has more than two people. It turns out that this is the function, mutual supervision, and whoever makes a mistake will be held accountable. But after hearing that everyone
They were all so happy that they could take two days off every month.
Nowadays, people have always had a long lunch break. If you have something to do, the master will be gracious and will allow you to take leave, but even if it is not allowed, there is nothing to say. There is no such thing as a good thing to take a rest. It is still two days a month.
"Miss, do you get a monthly salary for this break?" a servant asked cautiously.
"This is paid leave, of course it is available." Tian Minyan put down the tea lid and said quietly.
Now, the crowd of servants really started talking about it. They have rest and monthly money, which is a great thing.
"Don't be too happy. Anyone who violates this code will be punished according to the rules of the code. Whoever runs an errand will be held accountable." Tian Minyan said in a sharp voice: "If you think it is harsh, you can do it now.
Come forward, there is no shortage of servants in the Zhongxian County House."
"Miss, I must be a good servant." Someone immediately expressed their loyalty.
"Slave too."
"Same goes for slaves."
Just kidding, people are not fooled wherever they are. The population of Zhongxian County Bofu is simple. No matter how many things there are, there are so many things to do. Moreover, the welfare is so good, who is willing to leave?
After everything was arranged, Tian Minyan sent people away to go about their errands. Mrs. Xiao from the kitchen came forward with a shy chubby face and said: "Miss, the ingredients for today's breakfast have been used up, but at noon
And the ingredients for the evening will be cut off."
"What you need to buy is the pair of cards. Go to the accountant and collect the money. The Jiang family has known our taste before. You can discuss it and don't buy something you won't use. By the way, we will make a rotten braised pork for lunch.
The old man loves this." Tian Minyan ordered calmly.
"Yes, Miss."
Immediately afterwards, the person in charge of the warehouse came forward and asked Tian Minyan for advice on which items should be registered and stored in the warehouse, and which items should be displayed.
Tian Minyan thought for a while, then walked around with Ji Xiang, and asked Aunt Rong to follow her. After all, if there were any taboos on some of the ornaments, Aunt Rong who came from the palace would know better.
There are actually not many things that need to be put into the warehouse and recorded. These items were all sent by the gentry and wealthy people after the Tian family settled down. Some are expensive and some are practical. Considering that the family has a small population, it will not be available for a while.
When hosting a banquet or something, let me bring out the practical ones.
After coming out of the warehouse, the person from the sewing room came to ask about the spring clothes for the servants and the masters. Tian Minyan suddenly felt a headache.
After walking around like this, they returned to Ronghua Residence in the main courtyard. Luo Shi had just dismissed the two stewards and saw his daughter coming in, as if he had seen a savior.
"There are too many things to do. We are only a few people and we just changed places to live. So that's all there is to it?" Luo Shi said with a wry smile, holding his forehead.
"Mom, this is just the beginning. You must not be used to it. Once you get on the right track, you will be able to handle the general affairs easily." Tian Minyan poured her a cup of tea. Seeing that there was no one else in the room, she couldn't help but ask: "Where are dad and the others?"
?”
"They went to the front yard, and Rui Ge also wanted to decorate the study room." Luo Shi took the tea from her hand and said, "I am just a housewife, and even if I deal with these things, I still have something to do. I'm afraid your father won't do it."
He is used to being busy, and just now I saw that he felt uncomfortable sitting down."
Tian Minyan also thought of this and said, "Mom, if dad can't be idle, it's time for dad to take over the family business."
After all, she is a woman. When she came to Kyoto, she always wanted to show off her affairs. Tian Huairen was not old enough to have grandchildren, so it was time for her to learn to deal with business matters. Moreover, she would always get married in two years.
This family must rely on Tian Huairen and others to support it.
