Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space
Chapter 94 Xiao Family Guards
Early the next morning, Zhao Mingyuan and Fu Mingxuan brought a few people to the Xiao family. These were the house guards they had promised to find for Xiao Wan.
Upon seeing Xiao Wan, Zhao Mingyuan pointed at a few people and introduced them, "Wan'er, these are the guards I found for you. They used to work in your cousin's house, but they retired due to some hidden injuries. However, their skills are first-class."
Fu Mingxuan said with an uninhibited smile, "Wan'er, Mingyuan and I have put in a lot of effort for you. Let me tell you...what are we having for lunch?"
Xiao Wan shuddered when he called her "Wan'er" at first, but she was very touched in her heart. Then she heard him suddenly turn the topic to eating, and Xiao Wan felt that she couldn't switch her expression.
Seeing Xiao Wan's dumbfounded look, Fu Mingxuan smiled unkindly, and Zhao Mingyuan looked at the two of them helplessly.
The guards behind Zhao Mingyuan looked at Fu Mingxuan in surprise. Their master was not like this before. He looked more energetic and lively. It seemed that the emperor's exile did not make the second prince decadent.
This is a man who can do great things. The guards looked at their master with admiration. Although the master was hated by the emperor and then executed, and the guards were also neglected and sold, fortunately the master bought them in time, so that the whole family would not be separated and sold everywhere.
Although they no longer follow their master, there must be a reason why their master found this family for them.
Xiao Wan then called everyone in the family out to meet her, and Old Man Xiao, Mrs. Liu, Xiao Zhener, and Xiao Yuer all came out.
Looking at these people, they all felt very uneasy. Liu was also a little nervous and pulled Xiao Wan aside and asked, "Wan'er, is this our servant? How can this be allowed? We are just farmers, how can we afford to keep servants?"
Xiao Zhen'er also agreed with her mother's words. Xiao Wan smiled and said, "Mother, they are not ordinary servants. They are all skilled in martial arts. Our family is getting better and better now, and they will definitely attract envy. With them at home, at least we are safe and secure."
After hearing this, Liu was still frightened by the thought of what happened to Xiao Wan, and she couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
Fu Mingxuan pointed at Xiao Wan and said to the two guards and their families, "From now on, the Xiao family will be your new masters. You know what to do. Wan'er, this is Tian Shouzhong and his wife and children. This is Zhang Liang and his mother. Please arrange for their accommodation. This is their indenture."
Fu Mingxuan handed the indenture to Xiao Wan. Xiao Wan took it and several people immediately knelt down, calling them "Master, Madam, Miss". Xiao Wan and Xiao Zhen'er were so panicked that they hurriedly helped Zhang Liang's mother and the people from the Zhao family up.
Xiao Wan is a modern person after all. She can't accept others kneeling to her, especially such an old man. She can't stand it.
When Xiao Wan heard the title "Miss", the corners of her mouth twitched. She was not used to this name, but if she asked them to call her by her name, they would definitely not agree.
So he said to them, "We are a simple family. You can call me 'girl' instead of 'Miss'. We don't have much to do at home. Just do your work well and don't kneel down. We don't have that custom in our family."
"As for the monthly allowance, the two elder brothers will each receive three taels of silver, Aunt Zhang and Sister Tian will each receive one tael, and Shuang'er and Tian Qing will each receive five hundred coins. Do you think that's appropriate?"
The two families never thought that the monthly salary would be so high. They used to live in the prince's mansion and earned ten taels of silver a month.
But this is a farming family, and the Xiao family's monthly salary is not small. Several people wanted to kneel down to thank the master, but Liu and the others helped them up again, scolding them, "Don't kneel again, this is not allowed in our family."
A few people stood up, secretly thinking in their hearts that they must serve well in the future, even if they would settle down here in the future.
She saw that Hu Shouzhong's wife was a neat and clean woman, and they had a pair of children. The daughter was called Tian Shuang, who was older and eleven years old this year, and the younger son Tian Qing was eight years old this year, two years older than Xiao Zhengping.
Zhang Liang is eighteen years old this year. His mother is a kind-looking middle-aged woman, about forty years old, and seems to be in good health.
Xiao Wan understood what was going on and continued, "On weekdays, the two elder brothers will go out with my father and me to do errands. Sister Tian and Shuang'er will stay at home with my mother so that they can help. As for Aunt Zhang, you can help with any small things you find easy. You don't have to work too hard."
Xiao Wan thought that since Aunt Zhang was old, she would only need to do some mending work. Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhang bowed to Xiao Wan and said, "Miss, I am good at cooking. I can help you in the kitchen."
The host is kind, but Aunt Zhang is not the kind of person who can enjoy herself comfortably. She wants to be worthy of the host's kindness.
