Chapter 152 Arranging Servants

Chapter 152 Arranging Servants
Not long after, Qingying led more than seventy people into the yard. They all washed and changed into the ready-made clothes that Shen Xiangwan had bought for them when he came back. Perhaps it was because they had found a spiritual home, or perhaps they felt the kindness of the host, they were no longer as timid as before, and they looked much more energetic.

The main hall certainly couldn't accommodate so many people, so they all stayed in the yard. Shen Xiangwan and Wei Chengyi looked at each other, and the couple stood up at the same time. Without their instructions, the guards quickly placed chairs under the eaves outside the main hall.

"Meet the old lady, Second Master, Madam, Third Master, Miss, and Young Master."

Before this, Qingying had briefly introduced the situation at home. After they sat down, everyone knelt down and kowtowed to them.

"Get up."

Waving his hand to signal them to stand up, Shen Xiangwan glanced at them one by one, pointed at the boys and girls between fifteen and twenty years old and said, "I have other arrangements for these people. Qingying, take them to the house on the left. If there are not enough rooms, they can squeeze in first, and we will allocate more when the new house is built."

"Yes, ma'am."

Bowing respectfully, Qingying turned to the crowd and said, "Follow me."

"Yes."

The fifty people did not dare to act rashly. They bowed to them before following Qingying and leaving. The originally crowded courtyard became empty again in an instant.

"Zhou Wushuang."

"The servant is here."

Zhou Wushuang, who was named, took a step forward, knelt down and saluted respectfully.

"From now on, you will be responsible for serving the old lady. Do whatever she asks you to do."

Shen Xiangwan said calmly, nodding in the direction of Zhao Yuping.

"Yes."

Looking up at them, Zhou Wushuang walked up to Zhao Yuping.

"Wanwan, this..."

Zhao Yuping wanted to say that since they were already farmers, it seemed inappropriate to have someone serve her specially, but Shen Xiangwan smiled and said, "Mom, I have bought her back, you can just use her. She used to be the wife of an official, so she should be able to help you a lot."

What Shen Xiangwan didn't say was that although she was now the mistress of the Wei family, she was not very interested in managing the house. If she had that time, she might as well go back to the space and study more poisons. Therefore, she had to trouble her mother-in-law for the trivial matters at home.

"Ah."

She has said this, what else can she say?
In short, this can be regarded as the filial piety of the daughter-in-law. Zhao Yuping smiled and shook her head, and could only agree helplessly.

"Shuiyu."

As his eyes moved, Shen Xiangwan's gaze fixed on Wu Shuiyu again.

"lady."

Wu Shuiyu did not dare to delay and hurriedly stood up and bowed.

"You will follow the young lady from now on."

"sister in law."

Before Wu Shuiyu agreed, Wei Ling'er was the first to exclaim, her face and eyes full of disapproval. She didn't want to be a young lady who had everything done for her anymore. She wanted to learn martial arts with her sister-in-law. Even if she couldn't be their right-hand man in the future, at least she couldn't be a hindrance like she did when she was exiled. If there were maids following her around, she was afraid that she would not be able to resist being lazy.

"Okay, I know what you want to do. Don't worry, I will never change what I promised you."

Seeing this, Shen Xiangwan smiled and comforted her, saying that Wei Ling'er was only thirteen years old and still a child. Rather than asking Shuiyu to serve her, it would be better to say that she found a companion for her so that she could have someone to talk to in her spare time and relieve stress appropriately.

"But···"

"No buts, Ling'er, she's yours now."

"Okay okay."

Wei Ling'er wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Xiangwan. Faced with her strong attitude, she could only agree obediently.

"I am Wu Shuiyu, your servant. I am here to pay my respects to the young lady. May the young lady be well!" Wu Shuiyu was also a smart woman. Upon seeing this, she quickly walked up to Wei Ling'er and bowed.

"No need to be polite."

Waving her hands, Wei Ling'er looked at her sister-in-law with some resentment. Seeing that she ignored her, she couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Dongzi, come here."

After taking care of Wei Linger, Shen Xiangwan held the little cub in his arms and waved to Wu Shuidong, who was leaning against his parents, with a very kind attitude.

"Go."

Wu Shuidong did not go over immediately, but looked up at his parents. Wu Youfu and his wife pushed him encouragingly.

"lady."

With his parents' approval, Wu Shuidong walked step by step to Shen Xiangwan.

"Aunt, who is he?"

The little cub leaning against Shen Xiangwan looked at him curiously. Although he was only three years old, his body was almost the same as Wu Shuidong, and he was even fatter. The two looked like they were the same size.

"His name is Dongzi, let him play with you from now on, okay?"

Holding him with one hand, Shen Xiangwan leaned over and pointed at Wu Shuidong and said.

"it is good."

The little cub was very happy and agreed very readily, and gave Wu Shuidong a big smile.

"Our An Ge is so well behaved!"

Rubbing his head lovingly, Shen Xiangwan turned to Wu Shuidong and said, "Dongzi, his name is Wei Yun'an. He is the young master of this family. He is three years old this year. Your task is to play with him."

"it is good."

Children from poor families have to grow up early. Although Wu Shuidong was only five years old, he probably understood what she meant.

Seeing their daughter following the young lady of the family and their youngest son becoming the playmate of the young master, and perhaps even having the chance to learn to read and write in the future, Wu Youfu and his wife couldn't help but well up in tears. They really met a good family.

"By the way, do you two need someone to serve you?"

Looking at Wu Shuisheng, Shen Xiangwan turned around and asked the Wei Chengyi brothers.

"No, my guards are enough."

Wei Chengyi refused without a second thought. What they were going to do was very dangerous. So far, he didn't trust anyone except his family and guards. Moreover, Wu Shuisheng was just an ordinary person with no martial arts skills, so he was not suitable to follow him.

"Neither do I."

Seeing this, Wei Chenghe hurriedly expressed his opinion: "Second sister-in-law, I just want to learn martial arts as quickly as possible. If someone follows me, I will be restricted."

"Ah."

Nodding, Shen Xiangwan looked at Wu Youfu and the other two again: "We have two acres of wasteland at home. I plan to tidy it up and plant something. Wu Youfu, you and Shuisheng will be in charge of the farm work. As for Wu Lixiu, you will be responsible for taking care of the two children."

"Yes, ma'am."

Hearing this, the family of three knelt down and kowtowed to them at the same time. Two acres of land was not a problem for two strong laborers, and taking care of the children was even easier. They were all very grateful for Shen Xiangwan's arrangement.

"From now on, the four of you will be responsible for cooking. As for how many people you have to cook for every day, someone will tell you when the time comes."

Waving her hand, Shen Xiangwan turned to the cooks. She planned to clear out a room in the adjacent house and convert it into a dining hall with a kitchen. In the future, the guards and servants could eat there.
