Chapter 242 The sensible brothers
In the past, Vanilla was washing the clothes of a family. When they had time, they would clean the house where Xi Mingxiyun lived and help to make up the clothes and beds. Now, each of them has branches, and these tasks are done by the servants and maids in their own yards.
Xi Yun and Xi Ming were only one servant beside each other, and there was only one servant waiting inside and outside. Wherever he was busy, Xi Feng planned to add a servant to his two brothers and a servant. The woman watched him, the servant was not attentive enough to serve him, and could give some advice.
Xi Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "After the Dragon Boat Festival, Ah Niang and I go to Wujiaya Store. We will pick a few maids and servants for the family. The gardener also has to buy one, and the cook, and the maids have to buy... Alas, it seems that this time, our family has to add a lot of servants."
Otherwise, it's not enough to be used.
There are only nine servants in such a big house, two of her father and one of three siblings. Liu Ma mentioned the mother in charge of the inner courtyard, Xu and Ma Ma were in charge of the kitchen and vegetable fields, and the coachman Jiang Zhenfeng. There was no servant who was around her. Su Xin and the others would have to pay it back to Chu Li sooner or later, so before Su Xin and the others went back, she and her mother had to buy a batch of servants and come back to cultivate them, and then they could be used as a means of help.
The rules at home were established, and a few more servants were added to the family. In the future, they would do their own jobs, otherwise there would be a servant around them, and he would do all the work alone. When he was busy, the master would give some instructions, but there was no one around him to command.
Xi Ming bit his white lips and said, "Sister, I have A Meng alone to serve you, so you don't have to give me some extra money."
How much money will it cost to buy so many slaves?
The family owed a large amount of debt, which was already difficult enough. If you add more people, you would need money everywhere, and you would have to pay for food, clothing, and monthly money. His family only had two shops and some paddy fields, where could they support this family?
As the eldest son, he can save one or another for his family, and he cannot add more burden to his family.
Xi Feng patted Xi Ming on the shoulder and said, "Aming, don't worry about the life at home. With Dad and Sister, our family will be better and better every day, and there will be no money without money."
He also said, "In the future, people who don't have a big house and three aunts come to our house to take advantage of it. The income from our fields and shops is enough to use it for a year and there is still leftovers, so you don't have to worry about spending money."
Xi Ming still doesn't want to buy a servant.
A servant can earn more than ten taels of silver, enough for a month to eat at home.
Xiao Ayun looked at her sister, then looked at her brother, and said, "Brother doesn't want it, neither do I want it. Sister, I will work too. In the future, I will make the bed, fold the clothes by myself, and wipe the tables and chairs by myself... I can do it myself."
"Your time has been working, how can you practice calligraphy?" Xi Feng looked at the two sensible and stubborn brothers with a funny look, "Okay, this matter is decided like this. Your task is to study hard, don't think about anything. Everything in the family is my father, mother and sister."
He said again, "You forgot that we have taken the stake in the Chu family's sea boat, and we are afraid that there will be no money in the future."
Xi Feng whispered to remind the two little brothers.
Little Ayun's eyes suddenly shone, "Ah, I really forgot, sister, can that sea boat really make a lot of money?"
