In the evening, Zhao Wuniang and Qing Xing'er made two tables. Zhao Wuniang wanted to show her master her ability, so she worked hard and cooked all her specialties.
The banquet was placed in the dining room, and there were two tables, one for Shen Wan, Qi Yan, Zian, and Hui'er, and one for the servants.
Shen Wan and the others were seated at a small round table, and the servants were seated at a large round table. The large round table could seat twelve people.
Before the banquet started, the servants stood up and toasted Shen Wan with a glass of wine.
Zhao Wuniang was a good talker. She held up her wine glass and said on behalf of everyone: "Madam, let's give you a drink. If you can be bought by Madam, you will be our husband and wife as servants in the Shen family. We will definitely do our part in the future and not let Madam worry about it."
Miss Hui'er told them yesterday that their monthly payment is two taels of silver, and during the holidays, they will also be given a holiday allowance of two taels of silver. She also said that Madam is the most kind-hearted and benevolent, as long as they do things well. , I will definitely not treat them badly.
They were lucky to have met such a good host.
In the past, when I worked in other people's homes, the most respectable maid in front of the master and his wife only got one tael of silver a month! The monthly payment of two taels of silver to the servants was not limited to the division of labor. In this Jiangzhou City, that But it's the only one.
Shen Wan also held the tea cup and said: "It is our fate to be your master and servant.
Once you enter the door of Shen's house, you will become the Shen family from now on. As long as you protect this home, I will also protect you like a family member."
How can there be a master in this world who treats his servants as his own family! After hearing Shen Wan's words, Zhao Wuniang and others felt a little excited and moved.
They all said in unison: "We will definitely not be able to protect the Shen family."
After saying that, he drank all the wine in the cup, and Shen Wan also drank the tea in the cup.
Everyone moved their chopsticks, and Zhao Wuniang's craftsmanship was indeed good, much better than Qiu Ju's.
Especially her braised fish, it was so delicious that even Xiao An ate a lot. Of course, Shen Wan chose the meat without spines on the belly of the fish and fed it to him.
The feast lasted for half an hour before it was over, and the master and servant enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
At night, Shen Wan put Xiao An to sleep, but she was not sleepy at all.
She put on her cloak and walked into the courtyard with her black hair loose. The full moon was bright in the sky, and a feeling of loss arose spontaneously.
Now that she has a family and a son, she can live her life the way she likes. What else can she feel regretful about?
She opened the courtyard door and walked out. The moon was very bright, and she could see the path under her feet without lighting a lantern.
She walked to the back garden. In this cold winter month, only wintersweet trees were still blooming in the garden, exuding a refreshing fragrance.
The wintersweet grew in the corner. She walked over, took a deep breath, and wanted to break off the wintersweet and put it in the house.
She had just broken off a wintersweet when a black shadow jumped down from the wall, scaring her and saying "Ah".
Yun Luochuan couldn't sleep at night, so he stood by the wall with his cloak on and admired the moon. Suddenly he heard a woman's frightened scream coming from the other side of the wall.
"Is there someone living next door?"
He lives on the other side of the courtyard wall, in the house next door.
Hearing the screams, Yun Luochuan feared that the neighbor next door had been robbed, so he hurriedly asked loudly: "Girl, are you okay?"
Shen Wan covered her chest and looked at the little wild cat meowing at her with innocent eyes on the ground, and was shocked.
Suddenly, I heard a gentle male voice coming from next door. I exhaled a breath and replied loudly: "I'm fine, I was just frightened by a wild cat."
Yun Luochuan was relieved and said with a smile: "That's good, I thought the girl's house was robbed!"
After saying that, he frowned again, feeling that the voice of the woman next door sounded very familiar.
