Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Li Yu indeed prefers Fang Erya's family the most.

This family of three all look like honest people, so it's easy for her to take care of them.

Mammy said, "I also think this family is good, but Madam Li, have you ever thought about what you want them to do after you bring them home?"

Li Yu thought for a moment and said, "Fang Erya and her mother can clean the house, wash clothes and cook on weekdays. Erya's father can be the doorman and do some work that is not convenient for women to do."

Madam nodded: "Mrs. Li's thinking is quite clear. Their family can indeed do these things, but I think Mrs. Li missed something very important."

Li Yu: "Mammy, please speak."

The nanny said: "They are too soft-hearted. Look at Erya's father. He looks strong, but he was bullied by his parents and brothers.

If Madam Li really bought them, she could only put them to work in the courtyard, or to do some trivial things outside. As for those important things that require talking to outsiders, it would be difficult to arrange them according to their temperament. "

I indeed overlooked this point.

Li Yu said: "Mammy is right to remind you."

The nanny was very satisfied with Li Yu's attitude and continued, "But I also think that Madam Li can buy the three of them home. They are a family and the indentures are all in your hands. Even for the sake of their family, they will be more cautious than ordinary people.

But in order to make things easier, Madam Li has to buy another one that can hold up."

Li Yu thanked the maid, "Mammy, you are right. Regarding the person who is holding the matter, do you have a choice?"

Mammy pointed to the person standing in the corner: "I think this one is fine."

Li Yu looked in the direction of her finger.

She was a thin woman, who was considered tall among women. Her surname was Mu and she called herself Madam Mu.

Mrs. Mu’s self-introduction just now was: her husband died last year, and her in-laws thought she was unlucky, and seeing that her parents didn’t care about her, they sold her.

Li Yu remembered that when Madam Mu spoke, her eyes were clear and her tone was calm, as if she was telling someone else's story.

"I think this lady is good." The nanny said, "She is open-minded, speaks logically, and is brave. I wonder if Madam Li noticed that when we came here just now, most people were trembling with fear when they heard the title of the princess, but this lady quickly calmed down."

Based on the nanny's advice, Li Yu decided on Fang Erya's family and Madam Mu.

Among these people, Fang Erya’s father used to be a good worker at home and could serve as a bodyguard.

Li Yu originally planned to buy two guards, but she didn't like the remaining men, so she just left it that way for now.

Because Princess Jianing was there, the human trafficker didn't ask for much, just 47 taels of silver for four people.

Li Yu handed over the silver and took their deeds, and these people became his own.

This man was not too harsh, and although the clothes they wore had patches on them, they were still clean.

After Li Yu sent Princess Jianing away, he took a few people home.

Halfway through the journey, she saw a clothing store on the side of the road, so she stopped the carriage and asked them to follow her in.

Fang Erya and her family of three felt very embarrassed. They opened and closed their mouths several times but could not utter a word.

Madam Mu spoke up, "Boss, are you going to buy some clothes?"

Li Yu nodded: "Everyone will follow me in the future. I am not the kind of person who likes to treat others harshly, so everyone, please follow me in and buy some clothes. Of course, you don't have to worry, I will pay for the clothes."

Madam Mu didn't seem to expect this, and after a pause she said, "Thank you, Master."

Fang Erya and her family also expressed their gratitude.

Li Yu bought four sets of clothes for each of the four people, two sets for summer, one set of coarse cotton and one set of fine cotton, and two sets for autumn, also a combination of coarse cotton and fine cotton.

After making the selection, she asked a few people to put away the clothes and follow her to buy a quilt.

It is summer now and the weather is not cold. Li Yu chose three pairs of thin quilts and three pairs of thick quilts. The thick quilts are for lying on, and the thin quilts are for covering.

Then she went to buy a wooden basin and other small items.

At home, Lu Xuan saw Li Yu coming back and helped her pull the carriage to the cross courtyard.

Li Yu introduced Lu Xuan to them and took them to see the room.

There are still five empty rooms in the house, all next to the gate. The one on the right side of the gate is where the gatekeeper lives, and the four rooms on the left side can be lived in by all of them.

Considering the situation of Fang Erya's family, Li Yu gave them two rooms, one for Fang Erya and one for Fang's mother and father. However, considering that there was no gatehouse at home, Fang's mother and father lived in the gatehouse first.

After hearing what Madam Mu said, Li Yu asked her if she would like to live next to Fang Erya.

"I'm fine with anything." Madam Mu said, "I'll do whatever the boss arranges."

Li Yu nodded, then asked a few people to pack up their things first and then come to find her.

"Don't worry, pack up and then go out. I will arrange work for you then."

Several people agreed heavily.

Li Yu returned to the room to drink tea.

After seeing her figure disappear behind the hanging flower door, the four of them went back to their room with their belongings to pack up.

The most excited ones were Fang Erya's family.

The family had been worried that the house would be bought by different people, but not only did they not separate, the new owner turned out to be a very nice person.

The employer bought them this cotton cloth clothes without blinking an eye. They had never worn them at home before. When they were at home, they always wore the worst linen cloth, and wore the same clothes year after year, with patches on top of patches. They also lived in the worst room in the house, which leaked rain in the summer and drafty in the winter.

Touching the clothes and the soft quilt, looking at the clean and sturdy house, Fang's mother's eyes were instantly wet, "Er Ya's father, the boss is good to us, we have to work hard for the boss in the future."

Father Fang nodded heavily.

In another room, Madam Mu sat on the edge of the bed, stroking the quilt.

In her county, she was known as an unlucky person, disliked by her husband's family and unloved by her own family, and her heart grew cold and hard over time.

But now someone treats her like this. No matter what life will be like in the future, at this moment, she feels the warmth in her heart that she has not felt for a long time.

A tear rolled down from the corner of her eye. Madam Mu wiped her face and got up to make the bed.

Before Li Yu finished her cup of tea, four people rushed into the yard.

After they stood up, Li Yu started talking about their work.

Since there was not much work to do at home, Fang's mother and Mu Niangzi were responsible for sweeping the floor, washing clothes and cooking. In addition to doing these, Mu Niangzi was also responsible for entertaining guests and delivering mail.

Fang Erya will not work at home, and will follow Han Xiaomei to the store to help.

As for Fang's father, after two days he followed Lu Xuan to familiarize himself with the route to the palace. He would be responsible for escorting Han Zheng to court and would also serve as a doorman.

In addition, they should take time out every day to exercise, and it would be best if they could learn a few martial arts.

After saying the last sentence, Li Yu asked, "Do you have any opinions?"

Several people shook their heads.

Li Yu: "Then let's settle it this way. You can go back first, take a break today, and start working tomorrow."

Han Zheng was suddenly called by a scholar from the Hanlin Academy to have lunch together.
