Chapter 911 The Girl Who Knows Martial Arts
How many servants? There's no set rule; it depends on whether it's appropriate.
Before Shu Yu could answer, Ding Yuehua had already calculated it for her.
“Your family currently has two mule carts, but you’ll need to buy a horse-drawn carriage for your future travels. You’ll need at least three drivers, as the local magistrate’s reputation is important.”
Ding Yuehua lowered her voice, "There are also cooks and kitchen helpers. Even though your family is small, you'll need at least three. You'll need two maids by your side, and your grandmother, your parents, your sisters, and your brother will all need servants to take care of them. Then there are the cleaning ladies, the front and back gatekeepers, and the steward. Although I haven't been to your mansion, I know it's quite large, and just cleaning it will require quite a few people."
Shu Yu, “…” There aren’t enough fingers to go around.
She rubbed her temples and said softly, "Two drivers are enough, but we need three people to work in the kitchen."
Shu Yu doesn't like having too many people around her. Even when traveling, unless necessary, she prefers to drive herself. It's not only more comfortable, but it's also more convenient when she needs to do something private.
As for the others, having already been to the southwest, everyone except the old lady and the two children was able to drive themselves.
Therefore, two drivers are sufficient.
“My parents aren’t used to having someone serving them yet, and they feel uncomfortable with people always following them around. There’s no rush. We’ll see what happens when they get used to having servants at home. The old lady does need a maid to help take care of her. As for Sanya and Dahu, we won’t choose them if there aren’t any suitable ones. We do need a cleaning maid and a servant.”
Ding Yuehua was surprised. If you count them this way, there aren't that many people.
"Isn't that a bit too little?"
Shu Yu shook her head. "After all, we just bought people. It would be harder to manage if we had more. I'll be very busy later, and sometimes I won't be home, so I'll have to leave it to the old lady. It's fine if there are fewer people, but if there are too many, it's easy to get into chaos. If we encounter someone with bad character, they might even bully their master."
Ding Yuehua thought about the Lu family's background. The old lady of the Lu family came from a farming family, and some servants might look down on her or try to fool her.
Thinking of this, Ding Yuehua stopped trying to persuade her.
Just then, the broker came over and invited them to the backyard to check, saying that everyone had arrived.
This dental clinic was quite large. As soon as Shu Yu and her companion arrived at the backyard, they saw a lot of people standing there.
The broker smiled and said, "Mrs. Fan, what kind of servants do you need? I'll introduce some to you."
“It’s Ayu’s family who needs someone, you introduce them to her.”
The broker immediately shifted his gaze, quietly observing Shu Yu for a moment, quite certain that he had never seen this girl before.
However, given his close relationship with Mrs. Fan, his background must be quite extraordinary.
He immediately took two steps back and followed Shu Yu, "Miss, is there anyone you like?"
Shu Yu thought for a moment, "Do you have any girls here who know martial arts?"
This requirement is a bit high; Shu Yu wants to see if she can find it here.
She needs a maidservant with good physical fitness, preferably one who can protect herself.
After all, I'm out and about all day. If I were to follow a girl who gets out of breath after walking three steps, it wouldn't be convenient for me, but rather it would bring me trouble.
The man with the toothbrush paused for a moment, then looked somewhat embarrassed, "Well, I really don't have any."
Shu Yu felt a little disappointed and could only continue reading. But then she saw a girl in the corner looking at Ding Yuehua with a surprised expression.
