The emperor sent two little sisters over, which Shen Yi never expected.
It's not that he has little knowledge, but that in his concept, there is no concept of giving "people" away. In his subconscious, he feels that buying and selling people is a crime.
This can be seen from his behavior.
Mr. Shen is already rich now, not to mention very rich. He can spend one or two thousand taels of silver.
In this world, one or two thousand taels of assets are already considered a very well-off family, let alone one or two thousand taels of cash. You must know that in this era of lack of production means, even in Jiankang City, there are people Children and girls are sold, and a girl's doll of inferior quality can be bought for a lifetime with one or twenty taels of silver. A doll of better quality can be bought home for at most forty or fifty taels of silver.
But Shen Yi has not bought a maid so far.
Even though he lived alone, there were many inconveniences. No one could cook, wash, or boil hot water for him, which even affected his time to study. Shen Yi had no idea of buying a maid to take care of him.
Mainly because the main body of his soul, the soul from later generations, never thinks about this aspect.
And now, Eunuch Gao actually...
I sent him two little girls!
This made Shen feel weird. He looked up at Gao Ming, then at the two little girls. After coughing, he said, "You two... go out first... I have something to say with my father-in-law."
The two maids looked at Shen Yi, then looked at Gao Ming.
Eunuch Gao waved his hand nonchalantly: "From now on, you are members of the Shen family. Naturally, you must obey Mr. Shen's instructions. Just go down and wait."
The two little palace maids lowered their heads and went down.
After the two little girls left, Eunuch Gao looked at Shen Yi and smiled indifferently: "What? Judging from the look on the young master's face, it seems that he is not satisfied with the two palace maids? If the young master is not satisfied, our family will ask someone to replace them with two more. "
His expression was calm, as if he was not talking about two people, but two objects.
"There's not much else in the palace, except for the large population."
When Dachen had a complete territory and the capital was still in Yandu, it was extremely prosperous. The total number of people in the palace was nearly 100,000. Now, although only half of the country is left and the palace has been moved to Jiankang, but There are also 50,000 and nearly 60,000 palace people serving the emperor in the palace. Indeed, there is no shortage of people.
After Shen Yi hesitated for a moment, he then lowered his head and said, "Go back to my father-in-law. I am very satisfied. I would like to ask your father-in-law to report to Your Majesty on your behalf. Just say that Shen Yi thanks the Holy Grace."
With that said, Shen Yi stood up and immediately knelt down.
To be honest, he didn't really want these two palace ladies, for many reasons.
The main reason is that he is not used to being served, and the sudden arrival of two little girls will make him feel a little embarrassed.
Another reason is that maybe these two little girls were sent by others to keep an eye on him.
But it is a pity that Shen is not qualified to refuse the things that the emperor rewards.
At least not now.
The emperor was displeased. Not only did he say that his future was gone, but his people might also be gone.
Eunuch Gao stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a smile: "As long as the young master is satisfied, then our trip will be regarded as not in vain."
After he helped Shen Yi up, he started to walk outside.
"Our errands for this trip are over, and we're going back to the palace."
After saying this, Eunuch Gao looked back at Shen Yi and said indifferently: "When others asked where these two little maids came from, you just said that you went to the tooth shop to buy them yourself. Don't say that they were sent from the palace. .”
Eunuch Gao spoke calmly.
"Otherwise it won't be good for you."
Shen Yi quickly lowered his head, followed behind Eunuch Gao, and sent Eunuch Gao out.
After seeing off Eunuch Gao, Shen Yi did not enter the house immediately, but walked back and forth in front of his house several times.
Because it was the first time in his two lives that he had a "servant". For him, he needed to give himself some mental construction.
After a while, Shen Yi opened the door and walked in. The two little girls stood respectfully in the yard, waiting for his return.
After seeing Shen Yi walk in, the two little girls hurriedly stepped forward, made a blessing ceremony according to the etiquette in the palace, bowed their heads to Shen Yi and said, "Master."
Shen Qi scratched his head, then stretched out his hand and waved like the big shots he had seen: "No... no need to be polite."
After saying this, Shen Yi looked around in his yard.
The yard he rented was not very small, but it was definitely not very big either.
There are only five houses in total. Excluding the woodshed, kitchen and main hall for reception, there are only two rooms that can be lived in. Shen Yi walked towards the door of the empty house that no one lived in. After opening the door, a puff of dust came to his face. .
Because no one was living there, Shen Yi didn't clean it up.
Shen Qilang sighed, turned around and waved to the two little girls, and said, "Um...come here."
The two little girls ran over in a hurry, lowered their heads and called "Young Master".
Shen Yi pointed at this room and said with some embarrassment: "No one lives here, so no one has cleaned it. Some of it is not very clean, and there is no bed. So, you two clean up this room today. I will Go out and buy you a bed."
He looked at the two pretty little girls and asked, "Do you want one bed or two beds?"
The two little maids looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
Because they live in Datongpu in the palace.
There are dozens of people sleeping together.
Not only the maids like them, but also some low-level talents who have just entered the palace also live in collective dormitories, which is not much better than Tongpu.
Today, the two of them were singled out for rewards. They thought they were going to a wealthy family, but when they arrived, they found out that it was an ordinary house. When the two little girls were in the yard just now, they had already prepared sleeping wood. The room is ready.
Hearing Shen Yi's words, Qing'er, who was slightly older, swallowed, lowered his head and said, "Mr... Master, we don't need a bed, we spread some hay, and we can sleep on a mattress..."
Shen Yi frowned.
"Okay, don't talk anymore, it's settled. You clean up the house at home, and I'll go to Dongshi Street to see if there are any ready-made beds. I'll ask them to bring them here today."
As he said that, Shen Yi looked up at the sky. It was almost noon now. He took out a small money bag from his sleeve and held it in his hand. There were about fifty or sixty copper coins in it. He simply handed the money bag to him. An older girl.
"It's almost noon. You can buy some for yourself later. I'll take you out for a meal in the evening, um..."
He glanced at the two little girls and asked, "Can you two cook?"
The two maids nodded quickly.
"He can... he can do it. My father-in-law came to our place early this morning to select someone, and he specified that he must be able to do things..."
"That's good."
Shen Yi nodded with satisfaction: "Then starting from tomorrow, we will make a fire and cook."
After saying this, Shen Yi turned around and left, going to Dongshi Street to buy wooden beds and bedding for the two little girls.
After Shen Yi left, the two maids in the palace looked at each other. The younger Ping'er looked around cautiously and whispered: "Sister Qing'er, this Mr. Shen, why..."
"Why is it so different?"
Qing'er couldn't understand either, so she whispered: "Don't think about it so much now, let's clean up the room."
Of course, the two of them couldn't understand that Shen Yi didn't have much of a concept of "master and servant" in his heart.
In his opinion, the arrival of the two little girls was more like...
Sharing?
