The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

The next morning, the sun shone through the window into the room, and Su Lun woke up slowly as usual at the call of his biological clock. He stretched his body, then slowly got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and walked out.

After walking out of the room, Su Lun was surprised to find that everyone else had already gotten up and was busy with their own things. Butler Su was waiting in the front hall early, as if waiting for him to wake up.

Seeing Su Lun appear, Steward Su immediately stepped forward and said with a smile on his face, "Sir, you are finally awake! Did you sleep well last night? This old servant has been waiting for you here for a long time. Please wait a moment, I will ask someone to fetch you some water to wash up."

"Butler Su, I can do these little things myself, so I won't bother you." Su Lun quickly waved his hand to refuse.

"Your Excellency is wrong. I just learned yesterday that you are still injured and need to rest well. Let the servants do this trivial matter. Please wait for a moment." After Butler Su said this in a firm attitude, he turned around and left to prepare toiletries for Su Lun.

Watching Butler Su's back as he walked away, Su Lun couldn't help but feel helpless and amused. He thought to himself that his injuries were not serious, but being taken care of in such a meticulous manner made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Not long after, Su Lun finished washing up. At this time, Aunt Xu brought up the steaming hot breakfast, which included a few big fragrant buns, a bowl of thick white porridge, and a plate of delicious pickles.

"Sir, time is tight today and we don't have time to prepare a proper meal. Please make do with what you have. In the future, if you have any favorite dishes or flavors, you can tell me at any time and we will prepare them carefully." Aunt Xu said with a smile on her face.

"Thank you, Madam Xu. Actually, I'm not picky about food. Have you all had your meal? If not, why not join me and enjoy it." Su Lun invited enthusiastically.

"Sir, as a servant, how can you eat at the same table with your master? Yesterday's situation was indeed special. You should be more careful in the future." Butler Su at the side interrupted at the right time.

Su Lun couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. After all, in this era, the feudal hierarchy had already been deeply rooted in people's hearts. He also knew that he couldn't force others to change this concept, so he just smiled and didn't say anything more.

Housekeeper Su noticed that Su Lun seemed to be in a bad mood, and hurriedly said in panic: "My lord, I am very sorry. I was rash in my words just now. Please don't blame me. It's just that there is a difference in status between master and servant. If others see us, I am afraid they will accuse us of being restless and uneducated..."

"Butler Su is absolutely right. I grew up in the countryside and know very little about some rules and etiquette. In the future I will have to rely on Butler Su for more advice and guidance." Su Lun smiled and expressed his humility in accepting.

Seeing that Su Lun didn't look angry, Butler Su felt relieved. "Your Excellency is too kind."

After Su Lun quickly finished his breakfast, he thought of the problem he had thought about last night and turned to look at Butler Su: "Butler Su, let's go to the study together! I have something to discuss with you."

Entering the study, Su Lun closed the door, walked to the desk and sat down, and motioned for Butler Su to sit opposite. After Butler Su sat down, Su Lun told him about the plan to buy clothes and asked him what he thought about it.

After listening to Su Lun's story, Steward Su frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then replied: "Sir, usually, servants in large families will get one or two new sets of clothes every quarter. Do you want to follow this practice?"

Su Lun nodded and said, "Then let's give each person two sets, and make a few more sets as backup. I wonder if we can ask a tailor to come to our house and take measurements for everyone."

"Your Excellency is absolutely right. I will arrange this matter later." Butler Su responded respectfully.

Then, Butler Su seemed to remember something and continued to ask, "Sir, do you need to buy a few more sets of clothes for yourself?"

Su Lun waved his hand and smiled, "You, the housekeeper, will decide these small matters!" After that, he took out five hundred taels of silver from the drawer and handed it to the housekeeper Su: "You can use this money. If the mansion needs to purchase other items, you can buy them yourself. If the money is not enough, you can come to me to withdraw it at any time."

Steward Su looked at Su Lun, his eyes revealing a hint of hesitation and doubt, and said softly: "My lord, I have a small suggestion in my mind, but I don't know if it is appropriate and whether I should report it to you."

Su Lun smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying, "Butler, you can speak freely. There is no need to be so reserved."

Hearing this, Steward Su breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly said, "Sir, in my opinion, our mansion is now busy with many affairs and a large population, so it is inevitable that there will be some omissions. Therefore, I think it is best to hire a professional accountant. In this way, the account management can be more standardized and safe. Moreover, I heard that you own hundreds of acres of fertile land, some of which are already planted with corn. When it comes to harvest, if there is someone who is responsible for registering the tenants' grain delivery and properly storing it in the warehouse, it will definitely make the whole process smoother and more efficient."

"Well, that's true. Let's do as you suggest! So, do you have any suitable recommendations for the accountant?" Su Lun nodded in agreement.

Steward Su was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "I suddenly thought of someone who might be able to do this job. His name is Yin Cheng, and he was originally the accountant at General Qingyuan's mansion. Unfortunately, after the general passed away, most of the servants in the mansion scattered. However, I happened to meet him a few days ago, and it seems that he has not found a new employer yet..."

"Well, no problem, then I'll leave it to you. If you don't have enough manpower, you can recruit some more people to help. Oh, by the way, my brother will probably be here in a few days, so I'll have to trouble you to choose a spacious courtyard and clean and tidy it up in advance. In addition, you should prepare a few more sets of clothes. My eldest brother injured his leg some time ago, so it would be best to hire a careful and thoughtful personal attendant to take care of his daily life. Well... or why not just hire one more person, so that in case there are guests visiting, someone can be responsible for pouring tea, serving water and other reception matters..." Speaking of Su Zheng, Su Lun's eyes revealed some anticipation.

At this time, Su Hao on the side interrupted nervously and said, "Sir, my son Su Zhe has also studied for a few years. If you don't mind, can you give him a chance to stay by your side and serve you? If you think he doesn't perform well, you can arrange for him to do some heavy chores."

In fact, Su Hao had no choice but to make such a request. Because his wife's health has always been poor, she needs to spend a lot of money every month to buy medicinal herbs for treatment. The monthly salary paid by the Su Mansion is already quite generous for their family. If his son can find a job in the Su Mansion, it can at least subsidize some of the household expenses...

"Okay, just ask your son to come over directly." Su Lun waved his hand generously and readily agreed to Su Hao's request. He looked at the housekeeper Su in front of him, who exuded an air of integrity, and thought: the children taught by such an upright person must be outstanding.

"Thank you, sir. If you have no other instructions, I will take my leave. I need to properly arrange the kitchen affairs before I can deal with other matters." Su Hao thanked him gratefully. Su Lun trusted and valued him so much, and he would work harder to repay this kindness.

"Please go and do your work. Sorry for the trouble." After Butler Su bowed respectfully, he slowly left the study.

Su Lun sat alone in the study, rubbing his temples, and could not help but feel a headache coming. He only hoped that his elder brother would come soon so that he could share some of these complicated and trivial matters with him. These trivial matters were really too exhausting, and he really didn't want to pay any attention to them...

Just as Su Lun was lost in thought, Qingfeng's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Master Su, are you in there? A distinguished guest has arrived."
