"Lord, who are these people?"
Wei Shuyi saw a bunch of unfamiliar faces standing at the foot of the stairs, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and looked at Sheng Hong timidly.
Sheng Wei was still worried about how to place these people, so he responded casually: "Oh, these people are sent by my eldest cousin. When he heard that you were pregnant, he sent some capable people to serve in your courtyard."
"How does this work!"
Sheng Hong's casual words fell on Wei Shuyi's ears, but he only felt terrified.
If Sheng Hong sent three or five more people to take care of her because of her pregnancy, Wei Shu would accept it.
But now there are fifteen people!
There are only twenty or thirty messengers in Weiruixuan and Linqige. How can this small Qinyun Court be compared with those two places?
The eldest lady has a rough temperament and a sharp tongue. She can only complain a few words to make Wei Shuyi look down on her.
But don’t forget, there is also Miss Lin, a sweet-talking and sword-loving girl!
If this matter reaches Lin Xiaoniang's ears and makes Lin Xiaoniang feel jealous of Wei Shuyi, I am afraid that Qinyun Yuan will never have a peaceful life in the future.
Thinking of the child in her belly, Wei Shuyi gritted his teeth and knelt down to beg Sheng Hong to take his life back.
At this moment, I suddenly heard someone whispering softly in my ear: "Aunt, please relax, my nephew is here for everything."
Wei Shuyi was slightly startled when he heard this, stopped kneeling, and looked at Wei Chen behind him in surprise.
Wei Chen responded with a gentle smile, then took a few steps forward to Sheng Hong and asked, "Uncle, are all these servants here to serve my aunt?"
"Exactly."
Although Sheng Hong was quite upset at the moment, he always had an approachable smile on his face when talking to Wei Chen.
"Uncle is really thoughtful!"
Wei Chen deliberately ignored the fact that the person was sent by Sheng Wei and solemnly bowed to Sheng Hong.
"Your words are serious, my nephew, it's just a matter of duty." Sheng Hong smiled and waved his hand, seemingly to be modest, but he did not deny Wei Chen's praise for him, and kept his cousin's credit without hesitation. Most of the time.
Seeing the grateful look in Wei Chen's eyes when he looked at him, Sheng Hong couldn't help but feel a little proud. With a wave of his hand, he handed over all the deeds of the dozen servants to Wei Shuyi.
The future troubles will be left to be solved slowly later. The atmosphere has been heightened to this point. Sheng Hong just wants to complete his outfit in front of Wei Chen today.
After Wei Chen left Yangzhou a few days later, he would quietly transfer the staff of Qinyun Academy to other places. Even with Wei Shuyi's gentle temperament, she would not dare to tell anyone about it.
Wei Shuyi looked at the deed handed over by Sheng Hong and wanted to refuse, but thinking of Wei Chen's previous words, he finally accepted it.
Holding a thick stack of deeds, Wei Shuyi's hands couldn't help shaking. Seeing this, Xiao Minglan silently stretched out her chubby hand and held her mother's hand.
After Sheng Hong finished pretending to be in front of Wei Chen, he thought he had won Wei Chen's favor, so he patted his butt and left with satisfaction, leaving room for Wei Chen to talk alone with Wei Shuyi.
After Sheng Hong left, Wei Shuyi told Xiaodie to settle the new servant, while he led Wei Chen into the house.
At this time, there were no outsiders. Wei Shuyi, who had been holding it in for a long time, finally couldn't hold it in any longer. He pointed at the stack of deeds on the table and asked: "Why did the Sheng family's family suddenly show their kindness to me for no reason and send such a gift to me?" There are more people, Brother Chen, tell me, are you the one behind this?"
Wei Chen said seriously: "Yes, I asked Uncle Sheng to send it here."
"Brother Chen, you are confused!"
Wei Shuyi frowned and said sadly: "I know you have good intentions, but do you know that not only will you not be able to help me, it will also make my situation in the Sheng family even more difficult!"
"Aunt, don't worry."
Wei Chen explained patiently: "My nephew knows that my aunt had no favor from her master at home, and no support from her natal family outside. Her family and life were all in the hands of others. For the sake of her children, my aunt could only endure the humiliation and bear the burden and live a cautious life, for fear of causing Wei Ruixuan and Wei Ruixuan. Lin Qige’s hostility. But now it’s different.”
"Different, what's the difference?"
Wei Shu said in confusion.
"The fifteen people outside are all natives of Youyang who I asked Uncle Sheng to carefully select. They all have clean family backgrounds, are loyal and willing to work. I have also made arrangements for their families in Youyang, and there will never be any second thoughts."
Wei Chen looked at Wei Shuyi and said with a smile: "My nephew believes that with my aunt's intelligence and these loyal servants, I will be able to run Qinyun Court like an iron bucket, where a needle cannot be inserted and water cannot be poured." Enter."
Hearing that Wei Chen had worked so hard for him behind the scenes, Wei Shuyi felt a warm current welling up from his heart, refreshing his heart and mind.
However, despite being moved, Wei Shuyi could not let go of his doubts.
"The monthly money for the servants in the house is all distributed by the public servants. There is no way around it. Except for the longevity hall, which is a self-contained entity, no matter which house the servants are in, they will still be controlled by the housekeeper. Over time, people's hearts will inevitably change. !”
Wei Shuyi's worries were also very realistic. If the problem of salary payment was not solved, even if the servants were loyal when they entered Qinyun Court, they would be corrupted and won over sooner or later. No matter how many people there were, it would be useless.
"This is easy." Wei Chen wrote lightly: "Then on the basis of the monthly payment at home, we will give another payment to the people in the hospital, and it will be more generous than the ordinary monthly payment."
Wei Shuyi said helplessly: "Brother Chen, you are just standing and talking without pain in your back. Look at my courtyard. I can't even make a charcoal fire. How can I support so many people?"
"Aunt, what do you think this is?"
Wei Chen said with a smile and took out ten banknotes from his arms, each with a face value of one hundred taels printed on them.
"One thousand taels of silver notes?"
Wei Shuyi looked at it intently and took a breath of cold air.
Wei Chen pushed the silver note in front of Wei Shuyi and said softly: "With one thousand taels of silver, let alone fifteen or six servants in your courtyard, you can afford to support a dozen more." .”
Wei Shuyi looked at the banknotes in front of him with a complicated expression: "Did you earn all this money by running a wine shop with the Sheng family's family?"
"Yes, and this is just part of it. The family still has savings of ten thousand taels, and the dividends this year will only be more."
In order to convince Wei Shu, Wei Chen didn't hide anything from her: "Now the most important thing about our Wei family is money. In a few years, even the second wife of the entire Sheng family may not be able to match us in terms of financial resources."
"call……"
The information in Wei Chen's words was so shocking that Wei Shuyi took a long time to digest it before finally coming back to his senses, heaving a sigh of relief and saying with a wry smile: "Ruyi's letter said that the winery was making a fortune every day. I thought at the time She exaggerated, but now it seems that I am just sitting back and watching the sky."
