Li Xue looked at her parents.
My parents are old and can’t stand the hardship anymore.
I have already implicated them by being sold by the previous owner. If I make them run around with me again because of my fault, I will feel bad.
"Miss, I am just worried that I can't do what you asked me to do."
"Things haven't even started yet, how do you know you can't do it? Is it true that you can't do it, or is it because you don't even want to do it properly for me?"
There was a hint of coldness in Lin Jiuyue's eyes, which made Li Xue a little nervous.
Perhaps realizing that his eyes were a little unfriendly, Lin Jiuyue softened his gaze.
"We'll all be getting along together from now on. I don't have any high expectations for you. As long as you're honest and do your job diligently, that'll be all. I'm a very easy person to talk to, so there's no need to be too nervous."
Today is the first day since the people were bought back. Lin Jiuyue felt that she should not be too harsh, so as not to scare these people.
After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, she turned around and looked at the remaining three people.
The remaining three were all young men. Lin Jiuyue planned to put them in her shop, leaving Aunt Li alone at home.
Li Xue followed him, and as for Li Xue's father, he would be used as a housekeeper for the time being!
If he can do the job well, he will be the housekeeper in the future. If he is not capable, I will find someone else to do it.
"As you can see, I'm the only master in this family. I have a younger brother, but he's not at home right now."
"We're just a country family. I know some of you might dislike our country roots. If you have that thought, I urge you to give it up as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'll have to send you back to Yahang."
The six people who were bought trembled with fear when they heard Lin Jiuyue's words.
Every industry has its own rules.
For example, if servants were bought, used for two days, and then returned by the master, then the servants would not be able to be sold at a high price in the future.
Not being able to sell it at a high price is not a big deal; the real problem is not being able to sell it at all.
If the people in the Yahang area didn't have money to earn, they wouldn't be very happy. Going hungry and cold was common, and even being beaten was not uncommon in the Yahang area.
"Yes, my lady, I understand."
Lin Jiuyue saw that the six servants she had bought responded in unison after hearing her words, and she felt a little satisfied.
My money was not wasted.
"But you don't have to be too nervous. I'm easy to talk to. As long as you do your job well, I generally won't cause you any trouble."
"Oh, there's one more thing."
"That is, I don't like people kneeling down all the time. From now on, if you have anything to say, just stand and talk. You don't have to kneel."
"By the way, my family is just an ordinary country family. When there are no outsiders around, you don't have to call yourselves slaves or servants."
Rather than calling them servants, Lin Jiuyue would rather treat these people as his own 'long-term workers'.
But I also feel that farmhands are not as loyal and reliable as servants.
I want to open a shop, and I will need a lot of manpower in the future. If I hire all the people, it will definitely be unrealistic. So I thought of keeping up with the pace of the dynasty and buying a few servants.
"this……"
Uncle Li was a little hesitant.
I have been a servant for so many years and have never encountered such a situation.
I have seen people who don’t have to kneel down all the time, but I have never seen a servant not call himself a servant, or a maid not call herself a maid.
"Miss, this, this is probably against the rules, right?"
Lin Jiuyue glanced at Uncle Li.
"What's against the rules? You are my servants, and my words are the rules."
After hearing this, Uncle Li felt a little touched.
The lady looked a little cold, but after listening to what she said, I realized that she was a kind person.
"Yes, Miss, the servants all obey you."
As soon as Uncle Li finished speaking, Lin Jiuyue glared at him, frightening Uncle Li so much that he quickly changed his words.
"Yes, ma'am, I understand."
Seeing Uncle Li change his words, Lin Jiuyue nodded in satisfaction.
It’s not that I have to be different, but I’m really not used to people calling themselves slaves or servants in front of me every day.
What's more, there are those who kneel down at every turn. It is even harder for me to accept it.
Of course, when in front of outsiders, you still have to pretend when it is necessary.
"Well, it sounds much more comfortable to talk like this."
After scolding the servant for a few words, Lin Jiuyue asked the other three to go to the room specially prepared for them.
As for Uncle Li and Aunt Li, Lin Jiuyue arranged a separate room for the couple.
Li Xue was arranged to stay in a room alone by Lin Jiuyue.
"Miss, I, actually, there's no need to arrange a separate room for me, I..."
Lin Jiuyue waved her hand.
"It's okay. I've arranged everything for you. Just stay here with peace of mind."
When Aunt Li heard this, she wiped away her tears.
When she was young, she was sold to a wealthy family as a maid by her stepmother, and later she was betrothed to Li Fei, who was also a servant.
After they got married, they had a daughter, Li Xue.
Originally, everything was going in a good direction for my family, but who would have thought that everything would change after the previous master married the mistress.
"Aunt Li, why are you crying?"
Lin Jiuyue didn't know what she said wrong to make the woman in front of her so sad.
Aunt Li wiped the tears from her face and spoke.
"Master, you are so kind to our family. I, this old servant, don't know how to thank you enough."
Lin Jiuyue waved her hand.
"Don't be so polite. Just do more for me in the future. That will be your way of repaying me."
Except for Aunt Li and Lin Xue, the rest of them went back to their own places.
Lin Jiuyue gave them some quilts and other things, and they went to make the beds and pack their things.
Aunt Li nodded.
"Miss, you are so kind and have been so good to our family. It is all thanks to you that we are able to be together. We will always remember your kindness."
After Aunt Li finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something sad again.
Seeing this, Lin Jiuyue patted Aunt Li on the shoulder.
"Aunt Li, I don't know what happened to you in the past, but since you've come to my house, let the past be the past. Everything will be fine in the future."
Lin Jiuyue was still somewhat curious about what had happened to Aunt Li and her family. However, since it was someone else's private matter, she was too embarrassed to ask.
