Chapter 386 Jiang Family’s Servants
Old man Pan sat next to his grandson, holding the bowl and eating very slowly.
He heard everything these people said.
Old Man Pan suddenly felt fortunate that he had made this decision.
Before I die, I can still eat such a good meal.
The granddaughters and grandsons also have smiling faces.
So what if I were a slave?
He couldn't survive, but as long as he could fill his stomach, he would be willing to kneel on the ground and lick his master's shoes every day.
"You two can sleep in the same room with us tonight. The bed is big, just right for two people."
Anan took Pan Shitou and Old Man Pan to the first room on the right.
Qiu'er took Pan Erya to the first room on the left.
Lying on the bed, looking at the new beams.
The three generations felt as if they were dreaming and were a little dizzy.
Is it really such a good day?
The feeling of fullness in their stomachs confirmed their thoughts.
I feel sleepy.
The excitement of the three people gradually subsided.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn.
The maid was making breakfast in the kitchen.
The servants were doing their own job, some sweeping the floor, some feeding the chickens.
After the three generations of grandparents washed up, they went to help with their tact.
Wait until daybreak.
The carriage left home.
The maids and servants just started to eat breakfast.
"Pour the porridge into the bowl, each person gets an egg, and you can have any side dishes you want. There are also meat buns, and each person can eat no more than two. I don't want to eat meat buns today, so if any of you want to eat more, take my portion."
Xia'er held a bowl of porridge and spoke to others.
"Sister Xiaer, do you want to lose weight?" someone teased her.
"Yes, look, I've gained weight. I can't even wear the new clothes that my master made for me this year." Xia'er pinched her waist.
It's all meat when you pinch it.
This morning, she only planned to drink a bowl of porridge, eat an egg, and have some side dishes.
"Give it to me. I'll eat three meat buns today. I don't like porridge."
"Leave the rest to me. I love meat buns."
The two meat buns were quickly divided up.
When Old Man Pan and the other two saw this scene, they stood there in a daze.
"Grandpa, am I seeing things? I'm drinking rice porridge early in the morning, and I'm eating eggs and meat buns? That side dish seems to be salted meat sauce? Oh my God, am I in the fairyland?"
Pan Shitou sighed.
He thought that the best breakfast would be a bowl of brown rice porridge.
"Grandpa, if you had told me earlier that being a maid was so good, I should have come here when I was little." Pan Erya swallowed.
Watching eagerly.
"Nonsense, no other family can have such a good life. It's because our master is a kind-hearted person." Old Man Pan spoke for the Jiang family.
"What are you three doing in a daze? Come and eat." Qiu'er waved at them.
The three of them no longer stood there stupidly, and each of them took a bowl to get porridge from the basin.
Then he took another plate and put an egg and two meat buns on it.
Sit at the table and start eating breakfast.
After dinner, take a rest.
They were then taken by Qiu'er to familiarize themselves with the house.
"Our house has three entrances. You are standing now in the garden at the main gate. The masters like to play here on weekdays, and occasionally take care of the pond, flowers and plants, prune tree branches and sweep the ground. But you are not needed here. There are special people to take care of it. Go through the corridor and you will come to the first courtyard. The eldest master and his family live here.
The old lady and the old mistress also live here. The second courtyard is where the fourth master lives. Miss Fubao is the fourth master's daughter. Her room is on the right side of the second floor. If the lady calls you here, just go upstairs and stand outside the room. Don't go in. The third courtyard is where the second master lives. The young masters in the mansion are not often at home. They all live in the school..."
Qiu'er talked incessantly.
The three of them listened carefully.
"Sister Qiu'er, can I ask why the third master is not here?" Pan Erya blinked and asked curiously.
"We don't have a third master in our house, but I occasionally heard the master mention it. The third one is the old lady's daughter, the third aunt, who is married. It seems that she has a bad relationship with the master, so we never interact with her. We have never met her either. You just need to know it in your heart, and you must not mention the third aunt in front of the masters."
Qiu Er warned them.
"Thank you, Sister Qiu'er, for clearing up my doubts. I won't tell you."
Pan Erya nodded seriously.
"There's not much work to do at the mansion. You just need to sweep the floor, chop some firewood, and clean the stables and chicken coops in the morning. If you're too busy, you can help clean the corridor. The busiest time of the year is during the New Year. If you're too idle, you can think of ways to make something to kill time.
For example, I like to grow flowers. All the flowers in the backyard are grown by me. Also, you are not allowed to leave the house at will. If you leave the house without permission, you will be punished. You can rest one day every six days. On this day, you can go out of the house to play, go shopping, whatever you want. The master gives you two hundred yuan every month as wages. You can save what you want and spend what you want. "
Qiu'er continued speaking.
"Anyway, those who were bought into the mansion by the master have signed a death indenture, so don't even think about getting out of it. The master doesn't have to give us this money. He just wants us to go out and play when we have time to rest, so we don't have to feel cooped up. This is a favor, and you should keep it in mind."
"What? There's still money to be made? God, I only made four or five cents a day carrying grain bags, and I couldn't carry them every day. I didn't even make as much as I do now in a month."
Pan Erya's eyes almost popped out of her head in surprise.
"That's just the beginning. Every year when the seasons change from spring to summer, autumn to winter, the master will give us new clothes. The bedding in winter is also the thickest. It's not cold at all. The clothes are made of good material and are very comfortable to wear. They are not made of coarse linen at all.
I have been here for several years. There are more than ten sets of clothes in the closet. I can't wear them all. The clothes you are wearing are my old clothes. When the master buys you clothes, you don't have to return them to me. I will give them to you."
Qiu'er waved her hand generously.
Took them back to the backyard.
The three of them were so shocked by what she said that they couldn't recover for a long time.
"Grandpa, am I dead? Please pinch me." Pan Erya sat with her grandpa brother.
She asked with a dull look in her eyes.
"Silly child, we are going to start enjoying our lives." Old Man Pan pinched his granddaughter's face and laughed.
"However, the master treats us well, so we have to repay the master. If any of you dares to betray the master, I will be the first to not forgive him, understand? Also, you must be diligent on weekdays and don't be lazy."
Old man Pan gave a lecture.
They lowered their heads and listened attentively.
At this time, Jiang Fubao was wearing a newly made white Tai Chi suit and doing horse stance in the courtyard.
Xue Huan touched Xiao Hua's head, sat on the doorstep, held her chin with one hand, and stared blankly.
"Miss, what are you doing? Dancing?"
After looking for a long time, she asked a question.
