Uncle Yun and Aunt Zhu Liu bargained, but Chen Xi didn't want to participate. All she cared about was these dozens of girls who were pale and thin, and didn't even have the most basic replacement clothes. They were determined to wait for her to be out.

The dentist is called introducing a poor daughter to a maid or concubine in a wealthy family, but in fact, it has formed a model of population buying and raising. However, the dentist in the capital is more eager for quick success and instant benefits. He does not have the patience of raising thin horses in Jiangnan. He basically transfers in a short time, and the longest stays in his hands will not exceed one year, mainly due to cost issues.

These days, there are no fertilizers, no hybrid rice, and even sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn have just been introduced. It is not easy to support a person. Everyone in this world is just to survive. Only high-ranking officials and nobles will pursue spiritual needs. Ordinary people are just working hard to have two meals and one night a day.

When Chen Xi slept until the beginning of the morning, he found that he was in a dark space and his lonely emotions spread in his heart.

Chen Xi stood up and lit the candlesticks, looked at the yard outside, wondering if Yun Bo has left at this moment, but I thought that he would have to buy so many maids in the afternoon and have to be properly placed.

Although the Shen Mansion is very large, the yard is mostly the master's room after entering the front and back. The maids are left with the side rooms in the side courtyard, because no one has lived in it for a long time and need to be cleaned.

Chen Xi originally wanted to leave the house with a lantern, but after thinking about it, he reached out to put out the candlelight, walked out of the door in the dark, and came to the study room in front through the yard and corridor.

Looking out of the study, the front yard was lighted, indicating that someone was waiting for Chen Xi to come out through the living room and the main hall and smelling a good smell of food.

Chen Xi touched her stomach and was hungry.

In the room connected to the dining room on the other side of the main hall, fourteen girls who had seen Chen Xi before, and two childish little girls who came out of nowhere were kneeling on the ground, with a small square table or stool in front of them with bowls and chopsticks on it.

Uncle Yun's daughter-in-law was serving rice to a girl. When the girls turned their heads and saw Chen Xi coming, they quickly put down the bowl in their hands and kowtowed to Chen Xi together.

Chen Xi waved his hand and asked the woman: "Where is Bo Yun?"

The woman quickly saluted Chen Xi and said, "If you say goodbye, my father-in-law will go back to the house. I am worried that there will be no one to take care of the yard in the evening, so I will leave the concubine here to prepare meals for these girls. This is already the second pot!"

Chen Xi looked at the huge rice bowl and immediately understood.

It is very difficult to eat sixteen hungry people at one time. These new girls don’t know how to eat vegetables, and they just eat with their rice bowls... When people are short of food and clothing, only rice that can fill their stomachs and coarse cloth that keeps the cold, can be coated.

Chen Xi originally wanted the woman to bring him the dish plate that had never been moved in front of the girls, but after thinking about it, he would just forget it. He snatched things to eat with the girl. This master is too useless!

"Continue to eat! Keep eating!"

Chen Xi waved his hand helplessly and sat down on the rattan chair in the middle of the room. The sixteen girls did nothing and looked at Chen Xi in unison, waiting for the new owner to explain to them.

But what does Chen Xi need to explain?

"Why are you watching me? Eat yours! Wait for a full meal..."

Chen Xi raised his head at the woman and ordered: "There are some old clothes in the big box in the backyard. I will find them to change them later. One and two of them will be cleaned up and cleaned them. At night, let them move into the side room in the side yard."

Then, Chen Xi stood up and said to all the girls who looked at him: "You can choose the room yourself, remember to clean it. There are cotton wool and bedding in each room. There are no people at home, so you should know how to take care of yourself. If you help clean the yard on weekdays, I will choose three or five people from you to stay. As for the others, I will send you... to help you!"

Chen Xi thought about it and now he has a business with dog skin plaster in his hand. Perhaps the production scale can be appropriately expanded so as to absorb and digest these girls.

In short, you can't put so many women at home, otherwise it would be too unreasonable. It wouldn't be realistic to send them away. Even women like Yun Liu and Xier who have "skills" cannot survive, let alone these ignorant girls who are unlearned and unsightly.

In short, I will find some work for them to support myself first. Being a maid can manage enough rice and wearing it can keep warm. This is already the treatment of a family of Jishan.

As for how much value they can create, it is not included in Shen Xi's consideration for the time being.

The woman put down the rice spoon, walked to Chenxi, and reported respectfully: "Master, the clothes in the big box in the backyard and the concubine have cleaned them up, are all the clothes of the wife and the little master..."

Chen Xi said: "It's just some old clothes, nothing is tight. Those better clothes have been brought to Guangdong. Just take them to change them and see how many pieces are there first. But look at the two of them, who are thin and thin, they should be able to wear them. Let Uncle Yun find someone to buy some, and each one will get them... two clothes, don't need too many, just change them."

"By the way, I'm hungry, are you ready to eat?"

"By the master, your meals are always hot in the pot in the kitchen! My concubine's sister-in-law is now taking care of her in the kitchen!" said the woman.

Chen Xi thought to himself that the Yun family is really mobilizing. Not only does a woman come, but the second one comes. But it’s no wonder that the sixteen girls who have just arrived in the family are the masters. They don’t know anything and need others to serve them. They all look like hungry babies, which makes Chen Xi look overwhelmed.

If he looks handsome, he can be so beautiful, but now he is clearly a yellow-skinned and thin-skinned person. No matter how he looks... it makes Chen Xi feel like he has a decreased appetite.

Chen Xi had no choice but to wave his hand: "Go and arrange the food to the study. How to place these girls? Leave them to you..."

Chen Xi didn't want to involve too much of this kind of bad things. Since he had just woken up and was not sleepy at night, he would go to the study to hide in the quiet place first.

Soon, Uncle Yun's other daughter-in-law brought the food to Chen Xi. The cooking skills were average, and Chen Xi was just hungry. It tasted better than the food made by the woman before, but it was not delicious.

After Chen Xi finished eating, he wrote and painted at his desk, which was basically a deduction of the situation in the Northwest War. Many of them were judged by Chen Xi and could not be used as the guideline for the actions of the Tatars and the Ming army.

When Chen Xi left the study room and was about to go back to his yard, the lights in the yard in front were still on, and the "gurgling" sound of water came from the side courtyard. It should be that the maids were washing themselves as Chen Xi had asked before.

...

...

The next morning, Chen Xi woke up from his sleep... It was not that he woke up by himself, but that he was urging him to death, because there was a "bang" knock at the door of the courtyard.

Chen Xi was sleepy when he saw the sun, but was so noisy that he couldn't sleep. When he got up and put on his clothes, he left the house and opened the yard gate. He saw a few girls standing at the gate, either wearing the clothes of Xie Yuner and other women, or wearing yesterday's clothes, like an air bag, without saying a word, staring at Chen Xi blankly.

"What's the big morning?" Chen Xi asked dissatisfiedly.

A pair of sisters-in-law who stayed in the mansion yesterday came from the kitchen. When they saw Chen Xi, the eldest lady stepped forward and said, "Master, the girl is ignorant and she is chopping wood in the woodshed, and her voice is louder."

"firewood?"

Chen Xi said angrily: "I don't know, I thought I was demolishing the house! Is there not enough firewood in the early morning?"

There were many people in the yard, all of whom were unruly girls. Chen Xi suddenly felt that one head was two big. At this moment, he thought of the importance of Xie Yuner and even Zhou.

With these two women at home, no matter how disobedient the maids are, they will definitely be obedient. Although he will come out and yell, the maids will be trembling with fear, he is a "civilized person" and will never use family law to punish them.

The younger woman said, "Master..."

"What master, I'm almost a servant. My aunts, I'm not going to suffer when I buy you back. If anyone makes a noise for no reason, it will make a noise that will make me sleep, I will take her to feed the fish!"

After Chen Xi finished speaking angrily, he turned around and closed the yard door, and returned to the room and lay on the **. He thought he could fall asleep with a pillow, but he was so angry that he was completely sleepy.

Since he couldn't sleep, Chen Xi had to come out of the room and leave the yard again. From then on, no matter where he went, the new girls hid from him, because these girls didn't know that the "pulling to feed the fish" in the owner's mouth was just saying it to scare people, thinking that it would really cost the life if it made the owner unhappy.

Chen Xi came to the front yard and sat down, holding his forehead and sighing.

Uncle Yun hurried in from outside and informed Chen Xi of the specific details of buying a maid yesterday, as well as the contract for buying a maid and the evidence for the government.

After all, Uncle Yun is the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion. He was treated preferentially when he went to Daxing County Government to handle documents in the morning, but it was completed in just one hour.

Chen Xi said: "Uncle Yun, you have no choice but to do things before, but you have been looking for these maids this time. Originally, fourteen were not counted, and two more were added. How to place so many girls? Is there so many people in the mansion? "

"What the master said is that the old slave is not good at doing things well, please punish me." Uncle Yun felt a little aggrieved. It was obvious that Uncle Yun was cheated by Aunt Zhu Liu in this matter.

But when I think about it carefully, Chen Xi felt that he really couldn't blame Uncle Yun. The main reason was that he was full of sympathy and kept all these girls. As a result, Uncle Yun bargained with Aunt Zhu Liu and received the discount of "buy 14 and get two free". Uncle Yun thought about how girls could say it as money, so he took it away.

Chen Xi said: "Uncle Yun, I am also wrong with this matter. Let us learn from the lessons in the future. First, place them in the back yard, stay away from me, and let them take turns every day, three to four maids at a time. Whoever is diligent and has the strength to do things will stay. As for other people, send them to the pharmaceutical factory and plaster shop, or wait for your lady to come back and let her deal with it!"

Chenxi was still talking, and there was another noise from the front yard. It turned out that the craftsmen and carriage brothers who repaired the Shen Mansion came to work. These people did not expect that there were so many women in the Shen Mansion. They were going to enter the gate, but now they saw these girls and didn't dare to come in.

“It’s not bad.”

Chen Xi suddenly curled his lips and said to himself, "It is still beneficial to buy a 15- or 16-year-old girl movie. Those who cannot be maids in the house can marry and have a support for each other with these brothers in the carriage and horse gang."

Nowadays, it is difficult to marry a daughter and a wife. There are too many red tapes, and both sides cannot afford the dowry and dowry. Chen Xi simply regarded it as a "benefit" for the brothers in the carriage and horses to settle down and build a career, so that they can do their own work with their hearts in the future.
