Chapter 110 Worrying about the happiness of employees
After seeing off Chen Bo and the others, Wei Changtian went back to the house and looked at the map of Shuzhou for a while, and then went to check on Achun's cultivation progress.
Liang Qin has arrived and brought news that Liang Zhen will take her to meet another prince in the afternoon.
Unlike the princes in ancient times who would rebel at any time, the prince of Daning, although of prominent status and with excellent living conditions, was actually very miserable.
Not only did he have no power or fiefdom, he was not even allowed to enter the capital. He could only live out his retirement in different parts of the country, and after his death he could not be buried in the imperial tomb.
It was clearly a decoration made by the emperor of the time to show off his "magnanimity".
Ning Yongnian originally had fourteen brothers, but half of them died in the fight for the throne, leaving only seven.
Later, he successfully ascended the throne. Two of his brothers were dissatisfied and attempted a rebellion, but they also failed and reunited with their father ahead of time.
So now there are four princes in Daning, and the one in Shuzhou is titled "Shun", which means Prince Shun.
Although he didn't have much power, whether it was just to make himself known or to pay a visit, since Liang Zhen wanted to take him to meet him, he must have had some considerations, and Wei Changtian certainly wouldn't have any objection.
"My dad will come to pick you up when you leave this afternoon. I'm going back now."
In the courtyard, Liang Qin was obviously still angry about what happened yesterday. She said she wanted to go back, but her body did not move, and she looked like she was "seeking comfort."
Wei Changtian estimated that if he said "You go back" at this time, the woman would definitely be even angrier, so he had no choice but to persuade her to stay:
"Stay for lunch. Liu Shi was wrong yesterday. I've already criticized her."
“…”
Liang Qin couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth, and the grievances that had accumulated overnight instantly dissipated most of it: "Then, then is my room cleaned up?"
"It's ready. Let Yuan'er take you to have a look."
"Really? Then I'll go first!"
Liang Qin clapped her hands happily, then happily pulled Yuan'er to go see her house.
In her opinion, this is not an ordinary house, but proof that she has a place in Brother Changtian's heart.
Looking at the two girls disappearing in the backyard, Wei Changtian felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Are women these days so easy to please?
But that's not necessarily the case. If you were to run into someone like Lin Daiyu, it would also be a headache.
Even Jia Baoyu is still in love with her, but in the end, it all depends on appearance...
A beautiful woman’s acting is cute, while an ugly woman’s acting is weird.
The past and the present are the same! Wei Changtian suddenly began to have wild thoughts again, until a servant suddenly ran over.
"Sir, Li, who lives next door to us, wants to see you, and she brought her son with her."
"Lee?"
Wei Changtian was stunned.
Isn't this the widow? What is she doing here? "Please let her in."
Nodding, Wei Changtian thought for a moment and then suddenly shouted to the side: "Zhang San!"
…
There is no need to rush to find a wife for Zhang San. After all, it depends on whether Mrs. Li is willing.
Of course, if Zhang San doesn’t want to be a father, then that won’t happen.
But from the current point of view, apart from being married and having a child, Li is pretty good in other aspects.
"...Sir, I will definitely discipline my son properly in the future. Please forgive him this time."
A quarter of an hour later, Li had explained the purpose of her visit in a humble manner, and finally she took her son to bow to Wei Changtian together.
Wei Changtian really didn't expect that she would come to apologize for such a small matter, and he was quite emotional for a moment.
"Mrs. Li, you don't have to be like this. I don't take this little thing to heart."
"Actually, I am impolite. I have just moved into this house and have not come to visit you... So, if you need any help in the future, just come to me and I will definitely help you if I can."
"Thank you, sir."
Li bowed again, then somewhat embarrassedly took out a small ingot of silver from her sleeve and gently placed it on the table.
"Please accept these five taels of silver, sir."
She had originally planned to bring a basket of eggs to apologize, but after seeing Chen Bo and others' attitude towards Wei Changtian, she felt it was too embarrassing, so she gritted her teeth and took out an ingot of silver.
There is not much savings left in the family, and five taels is the limit.
Although Wei Changtian didn't know Li's financial situation, he certainly wouldn't accept just five taels of "compensation".
"Madam Li, I just said that I don't take this matter to heart, so why would I ask for your money?"
"If you don't accept me, I won't be able to feel at ease." Li shook her head, a little stubborn.
"Hahaha, ma'am, you're worrying too much."
Wei Changtian smiled and said, "If you really want to be at ease, I have a suggestion...Excuse me, Madam, do you have any income on a daily basis?"
"This... is just that I sew some clothes for the cloth shop occasionally, and there is no stable income." Li answered with her head down.
"Then let's do this."
Wei Changtian smiled and glanced at Zhang San who was standing beside him, and said to Li:
"To be honest with you, Madam, I just arrived in Shuzhou the day before yesterday, and I haven't had time to find some reliable people to take care of my family affairs yet."
"Everything else is fine, except that I, a guard, still need someone to take care of my daily life."
"If Madam is willing, why don't you take some time every day to come here and help him wash clothes, clean the room, etc. I will give you five taels of silver every month."
"But I won't give you any in the first month. Just consider it as I have received your five taels. What do you think?"
“…”
Hearing this, Zhang San felt strange.
However, due to his excellent "professional ethics", he never said a word and just stood there motionless.
Li on the opposite side was somewhat moved and conflicted at this time.
She knew very well that Wei Changtian felt sorry for them, an orphan and a widow, and deliberately helped her in this way.
Five taels a month, this price can hire ten good maids.
Although I used to be the one being served, I always feel a little psychologically disappointed when I have to serve others now.
But it’s her fault that the man in the family died early.
Women are weak by nature, but they become strong when they become mothers.
Looking at her confused son, Li quickly abandoned all other thoughts and bent her knees to kneel.
However, Wei Changtian did not let her kneel. He flashed and almost instantly supported Li's arm, while lowering his voice and saying:
"Madam, you are not a servant, you don't have to kneel."
"Besides, your son is watching."
“…”
Li was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, she trembled with gratitude and said:
"Thank you, thank you, Master..."
"You don't have to thank me. You help me with the work and I give you money. It's fair."
Wei Changtian smiled and let go of his hand: "You still don't know your wife's name?"
"My lord, my name is Su Yue."
Li Suyue...
Wei Changtian nodded and asked, "What's your son's name?"
"My son's surname is Wang and his name is Ran..."
After hesitating for a moment, Li Suyue took the initiative to add: "Ran'er had an illness when he was young and burned his throat."
"Alas, it's a pity that he is still so young."
Wei Changtian sighed softly: "Has he ever studied or practiced martial arts?"
Li Suyue replied softly, "I studied for half a year, but because I couldn't speak, the teacher said it was useless to study, so I stopped studying."
"If you practice martial arts..."
Just like the reaction of the office workers in his previous life when they heard "salary has been paid", as soon as Li said the word "practice martial arts", the little boy's big eyes lit up instantly.
