"Now that you have left Bibo Pavilion, do you have any plans or things you want to do in the future?"
Jiang Sui didn't say any more nonsense and went straight to the point.
What are your plans?
Shui Yuntian felt a bit of a headache when she heard this question. She was just redeemed yesterday and was still in a state of not being able to react. She had no time to think of any plans.
Besides, her indenture contract is still in Xiao Hechuan's hands, so he has the final say on what to do in the future.
"Mr. Xiao redeemed me, and my indenture is with him. Naturally, I will do whatever he tells me to do. But please rest assured, Madam, I will not covet people or things that do not belong to me."
She was also eager to express her attitude. Perhaps she misunderstood. She felt that Jiang Sui was trying to warn her. Was she afraid that her status would be affected?
Jiang Sui knew she had misunderstood and explained with a smile:
"You misunderstood. What I actually wanted to say is that if you haven't figured out what you want to do in the future, why don't you come to work for me? I'm planning to open a restaurant and I'm still short of a female manager. Can you read? Can you do abacus?"
The housekeeper, is she?
Shui Yuntian was a little surprised.
She was brought back to the Central Plains from outside the Great Wall by Shunyi Hou five years ago. She was trained there for the first three years and became proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She had no problem communicating in the Central Plains language and could read and write it.
As for abacus, she has never learned it, but she knows basic arithmetic.
"To answer your question, Madam, I can read. As long as the characters are not too complicated, I can write them. As for abacus, I don't know how to do it. I only know simple arithmetic, which I am afraid is not enough for the job."
“Just knowing how to read is enough, and you can learn the rest slowly. As long as you know arithmetic, there will be no problem. I didn’t know how to use an abacus originally, but I started learning it after I started my business.
If you are interested, and you still have time, I can ask a master to teach you. From now on, I will give you a monthly salary. You just need to do your job well, and then you can do whatever you want. No one will force you to do something you don’t like. How about it?”
When Shui Yuntian heard Jiang Sui say this, she felt a little moved. It sounded like she was respected.
If that's what she said, then she is interested.
"Madam, excuse me for asking, what does a housekeeper do?"
She knew that the manager of the brothel was the madam, and what the madam had to do every day was to manage the girls under her, attract customers, and take care of the Bibo Pavilion.
So what is the restaurant's housekeeper supposed to do?
Seeing her innocent look, Jiang Sui liked her even more.
"The female manager is very impressive. You are in charge of all the people working in the restaurant, excluding me, of course, because I am the boss. What you need to do is to manage the people working under you. Sometimes you will encounter customers who are finding fault or difficult to serve. What you need to do is to handle these problems. You need to do the daily accounting and communicate with the suppliers. You need to calculate every expenditure and income of the restaurant. In short, as long as you are interested, you can still learn since there are still about two months before the restaurant opens.
I believe that as long as you are willing to learn, these are not difficult things. Don't worry, I will not treat you badly in terms of monthly salary. The more money the restaurant makes, the more you will get. When you have saved money, you can buy a house and property for yourself, and live your own life in the future. No one will restrict your freedom, and you can go anywhere you want. As for your indenture, I promise that my husband and I will not use it as a threat to make you do something you don't want to do."
The more Shui Yuntian listened, the more he felt like he was dreaming, especially Jiang Sui's last few words, which were so heart-warming.
Saving money to live her own life without being restricted in her freedom and not being forced to do things she doesn't want to do, this is simply her lifelong dream.
So she quickly agreed:
"Madam, I am willing to learn, and I will definitely study hard and will not disappoint you."
There was an unprecedented light flashing in Shui Yuntian's eyes, a light that rekindled hope for the future.
Before this, she was confused, numb, and saw no hope for the future.
Now the appearance of Jiang Sui made her see the light. In her eyes, Jiang Sui was glowing all over.
"Well, I'll go give it to your teacher right away. Don't worry too much. If you want, you can come back to live with me, or continue to live in Feihua Tower."
Jiang Sui is committed to making friends with the big guys and building good relationships with them, since it will only benefit him and not harm him.
Of course, she also makes friends sincerely, not just for her own benefit.
If Shui Yuntian were to choose, she would definitely choose to go back with Jiang Sui. The sense of security that Feihua Tower gave her was not enough, far less than that brought by Jiang Sui.
And she will be her own boss in the future.
"Can I go back with you? Your family..."
What she meant was, if I followed her back, would my identity be questioned?
"No, you don't have to worry about that. Everyone in our family is easy to talk to and get along with."
She knew that she was not presentable enough and was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble for others.
But these are not things that Jiang Sui should worry about. The Xiao family will not interfere too much in the affairs of the young couple.
The matter was settled happily, and Shui Yuntian followed Jiang Sui and Xiao Hechuan back to the Xiao Mansion.
On the way, she told Jiang Sui that he could just call her Fang Miao from now on and not call her Shui Yuntian anymore, as that was the name given to her by Bi Bo Pavilion and she didn't want it to accompany her for the rest of her life.
Although she was a female slave outside the Great Wall, she had a name from the Central Plains, Fang Miao.
Jiang Sui planned to let Lanlan find an abacus teacher for Shui Yuntian. Lanlan knew many classmates who were very good at abacus in the girls' school.
If any of them were willing to teach, she would be willing to pay for it.
I thought that if I took Fang Miao back, the Xiao family would not ask too many questions, but it turned out that Xiao's mother misunderstood.
When she saw Fang Miao enter the house, she lowered her head and followed her son timidly. Her son turned back from time to time and whispered something to her. He also gave her something, which she put around her neck.
Jiang Sui walked in front, looking very anxious. In fact, she was in a hurry to find Lanlan.
But Xiao's mother, who was very dramatic, imagined a big drama in her mind at that time.
Could it be that the fourth brother had a woman outside without Sui Sui's knowledge, so he had to bring her back? When Sui Sui found out, he was furious, but had to accept it.
In addition, when the two came back last night, Sui Sui's expression was very strange. It was obvious that they had a quarrel. Could it be because of this woman?
She guessed half right. The quarrel last night was indeed because of Fang Miao, but the misunderstanding had been resolved. Now Fang Miao was invited back by Jiang Sui himself.
