They arrived at noon and were almost fully rested after sleeping for two hours. They had some snacks to fill their stomachs first.

Several people couldn't wait to see the house, so Wang Yu took them around the house. As soon as they entered, they saw where the servants lived. In addition to the back house and the kitchen, there was a south study on the left through the moon gate that could be used for meeting guests. Opposite the south study was the door leading to the garden.

It was autumn, and the garden was covered with green grass and colorful flowers, full of vitality. Cheng Chen had only heard from her husband that there was a garden in the house, but she didn't expect it to be so beautiful.

The stone brick path winds its way around, and there's a rockery pond with some goldfish in it. Walking further, you'll see a large green meadow with a ginkgo tree planted there, which will surely look even better when its leaves turn yellow.

Wang Yu pointed to the empty space next to him and said, "I'll have someone build a swing here later so you and Dabao can play."

Although Cheng Chen was very happy to hear this, she wondered why her husband put her and Dabao together. He was not a child anymore. Then she glared at Wang Yu. Wang Yu just thought that her husband was really cute.

The garden is not big, but after being tidied up, it is exquisite everywhere. The whole family likes this garden very much.

The second courtyard is where Wang Yu, Cheng Chen and his family live. The courtyard is relatively large. In addition to the corridor, there are flowers and trees planted on both sides of the stone road in the middle. In the front is the main house and two ear rooms, and there are side rooms on both sides. There is also a door leading to the third courtyard next to the right ear room.

The third courtyard is where the king's father and mother live. After entering, there is the main house, the side rooms on both sides, and the wing rooms on the right. There is a moon gate on the left that leads to the garden. There are also two lattice windows on both sides of the wall, through which you can see the view of the garden.

The Queen Mother admired the beautiful house while looking at it. Then she heard Wang Yu say that the house was bought for eight hundred taels of silver. The Queen Mother smacked her lips in amazement at how expensive it was. However, it must be really nice.

Dabao really likes the garden. He was so engrossed in the fish in the pond that he couldn't even spread his legs. Wang Yu had previously taught Dabao about the fish swimming in the water on the deck. The child had a good memory and remembered it after a few attempts. He pointed to the pond and said, "There are fish here."

Wang Yu squatted down and pointed at the pond and said, "Yes, it's a goldfish. Do you like it, Dabao?"

"like."

Knowing that he liked the fish in the pond so much, I let him play by the pond for half a day, and then took him for a walk in the garden. On the grass at the back, he ran back and forth with his short legs, not feeling tired, looking here and there.

Afterwards, the family went to find Song Boyan and went out to have dinner with him. Everyone was tired today, so they didn’t cook at home.

The two families found a restaurant in the nearby market and had dinner. After dinner, they went home to wash up and rest.

When Wang Yu got up the next day, he asked someone to go out and buy some breakfast. Before, Wang Yu did not hire anyone in the kitchen, and only bought three servants to take care of the house. This was definitely not enough, and he needed to buy a few more kitchen staff and people to take care of Dabao.

I had already discussed it with Cheng Chen last night. Originally, Cheng Chen said that he could take good care of Dabao, and Wang Yu didn't want him to work too hard. Dabao is getting more and more naughty as he grows up. Asking someone to look after him can also allow Cheng Chen to take a break. Besides, Wang Yu also plans to open a garment shop in Beijing, so Cheng Chen will be busy then.

Wang Yu and Cheng Chen went to the pawnshop together to look for people. The pawnshop directly picked out about twenty people for them to choose from. They chose a woman named Yu who was about forty years old and was said to be able to cook southern dishes. She also looked neat and capable. They also picked an assistant for her. After all, there were about ten or twenty people in the family, and she would definitely not be able to cook by herself.

A child of about ten years old was chosen to look after Dabao, but the child had a five-year-old brother. The reason why Wang Yu chose them was that, first, they were young and could play with Dabao, and second, seeing these two children, lonely, helpless, thin and small, looking at him with eager eyes, he really couldn't bear it.

So Wang Yu chose another woman to take care of their daily life and cleaning. Wang Yu and Cheng Chen did not need anyone to serve them, so Wang's father and mother chose a maid and a servant. Now that they have the conditions, it would be better to hire two people to serve them, and they should enjoy their lives.

After the people finished looking at it, they asked Zheng Shu to send it back first. Wang Yu and Cheng Chen prepared to go shopping and buy some things. They first went to the carpenter to customize a swing set, and then went to buy bedding, clothes and other things for the servants in the house.

After the two of them bought the things and returned home, Wang Yu called everyone up. There were currently eleven servants in the house. After explaining the rules to them, he let them go. Yu Saozi and Zheng Shu in the kitchen received three taels of monthly salary. Zheng Shu had been with Wang Yu for so many years and his monthly salary should be increased. The woman who took care of Dabao received two taels of monthly salary.

The monthly salary for the kitchen helper was one tael of silver. The three servants and the two people assigned to the backyard received one tael of silver. A clever servant was assigned to be the doorman. The other two children were named Huo Yi and Huo Rui. Huo Yi also received one tael of silver per month. Huo Rui was only five years old and needed someone to take care of him, so he had no monthly salary.

Afterwards, all the bought things were distributed to them. The two people who served the king's father and mother were placed in the side rooms of the third courtyard, the two brothers Huo Yi and the woman who took care of them were arranged to live in the side rooms of the east and west wing rooms of the second courtyard, and the others lived in the back room of the first entrance.

The two children were very grateful to Wang Yu for buying them. Huo Yi pulled his younger brother to kneel and kowtow to Wang Yu. Since their parents left, they were sold to a pawnshop. They were not well fed or clothed, and would be beaten if they tried to escape. When his younger brother was sick, they had no money to see a doctor, and he had to beg the manager to buy medicine for his younger brother.

Wang Yu pulled them up, feeling sorry for the little kids, and said, "Just stay here. I don't need you to do anything. Just stay with Dabao."

After hearing this, the two of them said okay and left. They washed up and changed into new clothes. Looking at the clean and tidy house, although it was just an ear room, it was much better than where they had lived before. Before his mother left, she asked him to take good care of his younger brother and go to live with his uncle. However, he didn't expect that his aunt was a vicious person. She conspired with others to sell them to human traffickers and then took them to the capital.
