When Shen Yu'an and his group arrived at the end of the village, the Shen family had just finished working on the thatched house.
Old Mrs. Shen, who was standing at the door and looking towards the village entrance, saw Shen Yu'an coming back and said in surprise: "Yu'an is back!"
Shen Yu'an smiled and ran to Old Lady Shen: "Grandma, I'm back."
Old Mrs. Shen looked at the people brought back by Shen Yu'an, and thought of the five young men who had come back with Sanlang at noon today.
"You must be exhausted today. Why did you think of buying someone?"
"We are busy at home, and everyone is tired all day long. I thought of buying a few cooks and some helpers to do some work, so you can relax a little."
Zhao came over and interrupted, "Oh, An'an is really smart. With these servants in our house, we will definitely be able to save a lot of trouble."
A group of people followed him in, including the nine newly bought servants.
After entering the yard, all the Shen family members stood on the steps, the four elderly people of the Shen family sat on stools, and the servants stood in a row in the yard.
Shen Yu'an first introduced Tian Qiu's family and Chen Quan and others to his family.
Then he looked at the five people who were bought to guard the house and do odd jobs and asked, "What are your names?"
Those people said all their names, and there were three people with names like Donkey Egg and Gou Egg, which not only sounded unpleasant but also messy.
Shen Yu'an changed their names, and from oldest to youngest they were called Shen Yi, Shen Er, Shen San, Shen Si and Shen Wu.
After saying that, he introduced everyone in each branch of the Shen family to the servants, so that they wouldn't even know the people in the main family.
"There are a lot of chores to do at home, so the five of you will mainly help with the work first. Tian Qiu and Chen Quan, you two will be responsible for the meals at home from now on. There is no shortage of food at home. If you run out of food, come to me to withdraw money and go to town to buy some."
"As for Huang Yuan, you should follow the young masters in the family first. They study on weekdays, and you can follow them and do things."
Shen Yu'an and his men walked around without calling Huang Ji's name. When Shen Yu'an stopped, Huang Ji asked, "What errand can you assign to me?"
Shen Yuan said: "Your injuries have not healed yet, and you still have a high fever. I'll give you a few days to rest. You can do anything after you recover."
"yes."
There were three temporary thatched huts outside. One was for Huang Ji's family of three, and the remaining two were shared by Chen Quan and six other people.
These people came without any gifts and brought nothing with them.
Shen Yu'an also just noticed that they were still wearing the same shabby clothes, so he planned to write down their sizes and then go to the town to buy uniform clothes tomorrow.
Now she asked Tian Qiu and Chen Quan to cook, and the others took the initiative to do anything they saw that was convenient without waiting for Shen Yu'an's instructions.
Song took the two of them to the kitchen in the backyard. There were three pots in the kitchen, and grains, vegetables and meat were basically neatly stacked in a closet not far from the kitchen.
When the two of them first arrived at the Shen family, they tried their best to cook, hoping to prove their abilities.
After dinner in the evening, everyone went back to their rooms holding their bloated stomachs.
Before Tian Qiu and Chen Quan left the kitchen, they cleaned the stove and the floor carefully before closing the door and leaving.
The five people also cleaned the yard thoroughly and put all the debris in the utility room or against the wall, which made everyone in the Shen family feel quite uncomfortable.
Before going to bed, Shen Yu'an gave them rulers and asked them to measure their own clothing sizes, and asked Shen Erlang to write them down.
Because Feixi had already gone to the camp on the mountain and Sanlang also returned to the Shen family at noon, Shen Yu'an did not let him go to the mountain again today.
The next day, Feixi came down the mountain again to find Chen Yu'an. His main purpose of going down the mountain was to deliver a letter.
Late last night, Fei Yanche's letter from the capital arrived.
Shen Yu'an handed Sanlang to Feixi, and then took the letter back to his room.
Feixi handed Shen Yu'an two bamboo tubes. The tubes were not big. Shen Yu'an opened them and took out a few pieces of letter paper.
The content in one of the bamboo tubes was Fei Yanche's response to Shen Yu'an's letter.
The letter told her to do whatever she wanted, but he did not ask why Shen Yu'an had the confidence to get so much food when the entire capital of Wei was short of food.
Shen Yu'an once wrote about grain in a letter, saying that she had a way to get grain and planned to open a Yimin Grain Store in the territory of Wei to adjust the grain price to a normal level.
What Chen Yu'an needed Fei Yanche to do was to be the open owner of the grain shop, and she only needed to hide in the back and provide food.
Fei Yanche said that he had sent someone over for Shen Yuan to command.
The letter in the other bamboo tube recorded Fei Yanche's recent experiences in Beijing.
His whole family has been reunited. Although they cannot leave Beijing, the whole family is together as a whole.
At the end of the letter, Fei Yanche also asked about everyone in the Shen family.
Although he was in Beijing, he had already found out the results of the college entrance examination that had just concluded not long ago.
Knowing that Sanlang had actually passed the exam and become a scholar, he mentioned in the letter that he should let Shen Yu'an hand Sanlang over to Feixi first, so that Sanlang could also know what happened on the mountain.
Shen Yu'an couldn't help but smile when he saw this. He had to say that the two of them were quite in sync with each other and their arrangements for Sanlang actually coincided with each other.
After lunch, Shen Yu'an called Shen Si, who was driving a car, to go to town with her.
When they arrived in town, Shen Yu'an took Shen Si straight to the clothing shop.
She took the measurements of Chen Quan and nine other people to the shopkeeper, and ordered two sets of summer clothes for each of them.
In order to make them easier to identify, Shen Yu'an bought them clothes of the same style.
The Shen family had no shortage of clothes, so Shen Yu'an did not buy any. She came to the town today to rent another small courtyard to store food.
When Fei Yanche's men arrived, Shen Yu'an could place the food in the small courtyard in advance, and then let his men go and fetch it.
She went to the same brokerage firm, and the broker was very impressed by this girl who had just spent several hundred taels of silver to buy a shop and a house yesterday.
Seeing Shen Yu'an coming again, the idle broker smiled and said, "Miss, what do you want to see today, a shop or a house?"
