Gu Chengyu also somewhat understood that a woman like this had either committed a crime or had known the secret affairs of the master's family, so she was given dumb medicine. If she was alone, it would be good to stay here, otherwise she would not know what to do in the future.
Where to wander.
Gu Chengyu took a detailed look at the mute mother-in-law and saw that her clothes were clean and her fingernails holding on to her apron were neatly trimmed. Yes! She is a tidy person. Since she has bought her, there will always be a place for her in the future.
This yard is rented, because it won't be long before he has to take the childbirth examination. If he passes it, he will go to the county or prefectural city to go to school, and so many people will have to make other arrangements. He came today to make arrangements.
.
"Mute Granny! This is the Young Master!" Yu Pengzi pointed at Gu Chengyu towards the mute Granny.
The mute old woman hurriedly knelt on the ground and gave a big salute to Gu Chengyu. Gu Chengyu was startled by her and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, while the mute old woman looked a little frightened.
"There's no need to give this big gift, get up quickly!" In fact, the mute old woman was a slave bought by Gu Chengyu, and the paralyzed Yu had already given him the deed to sell her body. But he didn't ask for details that time, he only knew that he bought a burner
The mother-in-law of rice.
Gu Chengyu could understand her thoughts, but he was also worried that his master would dislike her for being mute, so he was worried.
In fact, Gu Chengyu didn't dislike the mute mother-in-law. As long as she could do her job well, it didn't matter if she was mute. However, Paralytic Yu did not report this matter to him. Gu Chengyu narrowed his eyes. This was not a mute.
What a good habit!
The rule of kneeling and worshiping was only applicable to the families of officials in the Dayan Dynasty. It seems that the mute mother-in-law used to work in the families of officials, and ordinary families usually performed the Wanfu ceremony.
Just after he helped the mute mother-in-law up, Gu Chengyu heard the noise in the backyard.
"Sir! It's the end of get out of class. After half an hour of rest, they will practice martial arts." Yu Pengzi led Gu Chengyu into the inner courtyard.
Gu Chengyu had already planned a day's study content for these people, and hired a teacher in the courtyard. Of course, this teacher did not have much knowledge and was already old. Gu Chengyu only planned to make them literate, and there was no need for an imperial examination anyway.
After that, it was time to practice martial arts, for both men and women. In the afternoon, they learned the rules. The one who taught them was another woman, who was also bought. In the past, she was sold when she got into trouble with a wealthy family. On weekdays, she just had nothing to do.
Stay in your own room and don't come out.
"How do you learn the rules? What's the noise like?" As soon as Yu Banzi and Gu Chengyu entered the backyard, they saw two of these children running around chasing and fighting in the backyard, so they frowned and yelled loudly.
When he first rented this courtyard, the first rule the young master had was to prohibit making loud noises, because there were ordinary families living in the courtyard. If others knew that there were so many children living here, there would inevitably be excessive speculation and speculation.
Rumors.
"Ding Yi, call everyone to the yard, the young master is here." Paralympian Yu looked at Gu Chengyu's face and found that he was expressionless.
He was a little bit embarrassed in his heart. The more expressionless the young master was, the more unsure he felt. He was always in charge of people. He had been in charge for more than two years, but now they don't understand the rules. These guys
Little bastard, the master is not easy to fool.
The one called Ding Yi is a young boy, about eleven or twelve years old. It seems that he is the oldest among the children, because they are arranged according to age, from Ding One to Ding Twenty, and the surname of Ding is Gu Chengyu
Randomly.
Ding, who was fetching water to wash his hands, realized that it was Manager Yu who was here. When he heard Manager Yu shouting, Ding immediately stepped forward to reply, only to find that there was a boy younger than him standing next to Manager Yu.
"I've met Manager Yu! I've met Young Master!" Ding Yi stepped forward and saluted. He had met Gu Chengyu, but that was two years ago. During these two years, Gu Chengyu had never shown his face once. He had always been
Manager Yu is taking care of them.
When he was bought, he was already ten years old, and he was at a sensible age. Seeing that his master had bought so many boys and girls, he was still a little scared, thinking that his master had some special hobbies. But who would want to buy them?
It's a boy.
And in the past two years, they didn't have to do any errands. They didn't have to worry about food and clothing every day. They only had to learn to read and practice martial arts, but they couldn't go out. He was a little puzzled. He didn't know what the owner wanted to do. He just wanted to buy it for a wealthy family.
Servants wouldn't ask someone to teach them this, right?
They had been living in the courtyard of the village before, but more than a month ago, Manager Yu actually asked them to come to the town and stayed there for more than a month. Their daily life was no different from that in the village, except for the extra rules.
Now that the young master is here, he knows that it is time to use them.
"Well! There is no need to say anything else. Let's go and call everyone here." Some people just went directly into the house to rest, so the yard was not full of people. But now, the people still in the yard are timidly
He looked at Gu Chengyu with curiosity in his eyes.
This is normal. Some children are already a little unfamiliar with Gu Chengyu, whom they met more than two years ago. Moreover, they have just learned the rules and don't know how to come up and salute.
"Master! Manager Yu! Everyone has arrived."
Paralyzed Yu moved a chair and table to Gu Chengyu, and served him tea.
Gu Chengyu sat on an armchair, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and found that it was Biluochun. The tea soup was clear and soft, green and bright, but the tea buds in the bowl were larger. They should be tea leaves that were older than April this year.
Looking at the tea leaves in the bowl, Gu Chengyu remembered the wild camellias he found in Changling Mountain last year. At that time, he had collected two of the oldest-looking tea leaves in the space, broke off the branches, and made cuttings, but he forgot about it later.
, I didn’t even check it out. I’m afraid it’s grown now, right?
"Sir! This is this year's Biluochun. I'm not even willing to drink it." Yu Pazi looked at Gu Chengyu expectantly. He also heard that people from wealthy families like to drink Biluochun, so he went to the teahouse and spent half a month.
I weighed twenty taels of silver. This thing is so expensive!
Gu Chengyu suddenly remembered that because Yu Paralyzed had to go out for Gu Chengyu, he naturally needed to entertain guests, so the two taels of tea he bought should be for entertaining guests.
"This can be entered into the public accounts and deducted from the money I gave you, but the accounts must be done clearly." When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Gu Chengyu still understands that as long as it is not excessive, he can still accept it.
"Hey! That's not what I meant." Yu Pengzi was also a little embarrassed when Gu Chengyu saw through his little thoughts. But he didn't have much money per month. If he had no money to interact with others, wouldn't he be looked down upon by others if he was timid?
"Okay! Is everyone here?" Gu Chengyu looked at the neatly arranged group of children below, and saw that there were more girls among them, thirteen of them, and they were not very old. There were seven boys left, but there were
There were two who were over ten years old, and the others were about the same as him. There was nothing I could do about it. Girls in ancient times were worthless, and after all, there were more girls selling them.
Yu Paizi cleared his throat, "This is the young master. Why don't you be polite when you see him? Didn't I teach you yesterday?"
The children below suddenly saw this little kid who was about the same age as them, and they were all a little curious.
At this time, the woman who taught the rules had already stepped forward and led everyone to kneel down and worship Gu Chengyu. Gu Chengyu did not move this time. He was not old and it was difficult to convince people, so the rules had to be established at the beginning.
