Tang Xufang was a kind-hearted person and did not dislike Wu Ziqiu and his wife at all. She kept busy cleaning them up before bringing them to Fang Qingshi.
In the main house at the back, there is a room used by Fang Qingshi to entertain guests and take care of accounts.
Wu Ziqiu timidly followed Tang Xufang through the door. Next to the window and against the west wall was a lattice cabinet with ancient shelves, on which were placed bottles and cans of different shapes. In front of the cabinet was a table with pens, ink and papers on it.
Inkstone and ledger, the young master was sitting on a chair, looking down at the ledger.
There are tables and chairs for entertaining guests on the north wall, and the same grid cabinets are also placed. The display is very simple.
"Master, I brought someone here." Tang Xufang said softly.
If there was no one else around, he would call him "Ah Shi" to get close to him, but now it was different. "Ah Shi" had to arrange the people around him, and Tang Xufang was very careful about how to address him.
Fang Qingshi raised his head and looked over. After changing into clean clothes, Wu Ziqiu didn't look so depressed. Although he was still skinny and frightened, he was a person who had suffered, so naturally he would not feel disgusted.
Wu Ziqiu came over and knelt on the ground: "Master, I know how to do everything. Just tell me what to do. I'll try it first."
"Don't worry, is there anyone else in your family?" Fang Qingshi asked.
Wu Ziqiu shook his head: "There are not many people left. We only live with Ah Tang. There is a brother and sister-in-law in Xiajia Village, Luwu County, but the brother said that the married daughter threw water and left the slaves to fend for themselves."
Fang Qingshi picked up the pen and wrote down Xiajia Village on the booklet. He must know the origins and relatives of the people he works under. This is something that cannot be careless.
Ask Tang Xufang to prepare some food for Wu Ziqiu, and arrange to have a rest in a nearby room. If you don't take good care of your body, you may suffer severe physical collapse, and the people who serve around you should show kindness when it's time.
Don't be stingy and don't be merciless when it's time to punish. Only in this way can you be united.
After a while, Fang Qingshi took Wu Ziqiu and his wife directly back to the mountain village.
When Wu Ziqiu saw the small courtyard of her master's house, she relaxed a lot. She was afraid that in a wealthy family with too many rules, her child would be too young and she would be hated by her master.
"Sister." Fang Qinghe trotted to the door. When he saw Wu Ziqiu brought by Fang Qingshi, he looked over helplessly: "Is this someone you picked up again?"
Fang Qingshi smiled, turned her head and said to Wu Ziqiu: "Ms. Wu, this is the second young lady you want to serve."
Wu Ziqiu quickly knelt down and said, "I have seen the second young lady."
"Ouch, get up quickly." Fang Qinghe was really frightened, shouting to call a slave, but someone actually knelt down in front of him, Fang Qinghe was even more panicked than Wu Ziqiu.
When Wu Ziqiu knelt down, Fang Qinghe saw the child on his back. The little girl stared at Fang Qinghe with her dark eyes, neither crying nor fussing.
"Get up. From now on, you will be a cook in the yard here, serving three meals a day for three people. I will make a room in the west wing for you to live in. If you need anything, tell the second lady." Fang Qing
Shi said.
There are two rooms in the east wing, one is for Wen Yan to live in, and the other is a fragrance room.
The main house also has two rooms. The east room is for Hua Erniang, the west room is for my sister's room, and the kitchen room in the west wing is not used. It is not difficult to clean up the firewood shed, and only needs to move in a bed.
If it weren't for the difficult times ahead, it would be no problem to open up the house from the yard at home, the space is large enough.
Wu Ziqiu got up, followed to the door of the woodshed, and started to clean up, fearing that his work would be in vain and his master would not like it.
She didn't expect her master to work together, but when she thought about it, it was true. The master's family was not a wealthy family, and they didn't have the coquettish tempers of those ladies and ladies. The more this happened, the more she had to do her job well.
Wen Yan also came to help. Ah Tang was placed in the firewood basket, and a small mat was spread in the firewood basket. He watched the adults working curiously.
After everything was settled, Wu Ziqiu went to the kitchen to prepare the food.
The two sisters Fang Qingshi came over to make incense with Wen Yan. In the evening, they had to sort out the herbs stored at home and transport them to Qingwa Village before the heavy rain. Also to be transported back was Hua Erniang’s beehives, but in July
August is the best time to collect honey, but we can’t do it now.
"Shall we go bring the second grandma back?" Fang Qinghe asked.
Fang Qingshi nodded: "Okay."
Just leave and take the old man back to live here, so Fang Qingshi doesn't have to worry about his little sister so much.
Hua Erniang has been in a good mood these past few days. She has been using plasters frequently and her legs and feet are much better than in previous years. Apart from looking forward to rain every day so that more flowers in the valley will bloom, she has no other worries.
.
Seeing the two sisters Fang Qingshi arriving, they smiled and said, "Are you two girls free?"
"Second Grandma, we are here to take you home." Fang Qingshu came over and sat next to Hua Erniang: "The eldest brother is not at home when he is out. There are only Qing He and Wen Yan who make perfume in the yard. You always come home and I will
I feel at ease."
Hua Erniang looked at Fang Qingshi: "Wen Yan is a young man?"
"Well." Fang Qingshi said seriously: "So I have to take you back early. I can't be at home every day."
Hua Erniang raised her hand and poked Fang Qingshi on the forehead: "You are a little talkative now. Second Mistress' age is not in vain. How can you put someone in front of Qinghe who you are not sure about?"
"Then why don't you go back and live there? Come here and visit every day. There is also a cook at home, so it is more comfortable than living here." Fang Qingshi said.
Hua Erniang did not refuse, mainly because she wanted to give the beehive to the children. After she went back, she would teach Qinghe the art of beekeeping, so she would have nothing to worry about. At this age, she could enjoy the blessing of having people around her.
God have mercy on myself.
Hua Erniang locked the cellar and gave the key to Fang Qinghe: "From now on, you will be in charge of this place. Your sister can't come back to work across the mountains and ridges. Let's go home."
"Okay." Fang Qinghe took it and put it in his purse, and patted it funnyly: "Don't worry, Second Grandma, it will be packed well."
The two sisters brought Hua Erniang back, and the east room had been prepared long ago.
Not long after arriving home, Mrs. Wu's meal was ready.
The wild vegetable porridge is thick and green, which is pleasing to the eye. Egg blossoms are floating in it, which makes people appetizing just by looking at it. There are stir-fried vegetables, stewed radish meat, cold tofu, and a pot of three-way noodle rolls.
Fang Qinghe raised his thumb and said, "Ms. Wu is so awesome. She can even prepare a table of rice. It seems that I will have to prepare more dishes in the future."
"No, you don't need to worry about it, Miss Second. I saw the fish cages. They have been fished by the river. There is a lot of food and drink in the vegetable garden, so I have time to dig wild vegetables." Lady Wu said quickly.
Hua Erniang looked at Mrs. Wu and then at Fang Qingshi, and she was puzzled. Where did she find this girl? If nothing else, she was good at first glance.
Fang Qingshi asked with a smile: "Second Grandma, how are you? Are you happy?"
