"I remember that your maids were all wearing silk clothes. Who is this?"
When he came to pay the money as agreed, Lin Mo saw a timid little girl standing behind Lu Su, about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing burlap clothes.
"I hired you on the way here. After all, it's a second-in-command. How can I do it without a servant?"
After Lu Su handed the money to Lin Mo, he pointed to the girl behind him and explained, "It's quite cheap, with a monthly salary of three hundred yuan."
"My slave Zhao'er, I have met the young master."
The girl's burlap clothes didn't fit that well, and her hair was a little messy. She was probably a refugee from the three counties.
She looks pretty good, with a fair face, a tall nose, and a rosy mouth. She looks good on her face and is very eye-catching.
"Can you cook?"
Zhao'er nodded quickly.
Lin Mo glanced at her first, then looked around the yard. He really needed a maid, and then took out three pieces of money from his arms and gave it to her.
"Go buy some decent clothes, and buy some meat to prepare. By the way, on the way back, we will pass by Yaopinzhai to buy some osmanthus cakes and almond cakes."
Zhao'er looked at Lin Mo timidly, not daring to reach out.
"This is not a monthly salary, it's just support for the family."
After hearing what he said, Zhao'er nodded Nunuo, "Thank you, Master."
"Let's go to Dongcheng."
After grabbing Lu Su, the two went out and walked towards Dongcheng.
On both sides of the streets in Dongcheng, there are many burly men standing, some of whom are shirtless as if to deliberately highlight their strength.
The distribution of shops in Pengcheng is planned. In Nancheng there are some jewelry, rouge, gouache and daily necessities;
Beicheng is home to various fruit, vegetable, rice and millet shops; West City is home to many wine shops and romantic places;
Dongcheng is a place where some strong men gather. If the chamber of commerce hires bodyguards to protect them, or if a powerful family wants to hire guards or even government soldiers, they will come here.
After entering a shop, the shopkeeper enthusiastically offered two cups of tea, "Master Lu is here. Let's drink tea first. The roster will be sent to you shortly."
The Lu family's prestige is not as good as that of the Chen family, but when a businessman meets him, he still has to hug him and call him daddy.
After taking two sips of tea, the shopkeeper brought a stack of bamboo slips and said, "Master Lu, look at it slowly and open your mouth when you choose it."
"Let's take a look together." Lu Su picked up a bundle of bamboo slips and gave them to Lin Mo.
Above is a list of personal information, including name, household registration, age, weight, height, weapons proficiency, whether they are willing to be a soldier, and their monthly salary.
In these troubled times, everything can be clearly marked with a price.
After all, he was looking for a nursing home, so Lin Mo was still very serious. Lu Su also handed over bamboo slips from time to time and pointed at the information on it to comment.
After a while, Lin Mo was stunned by the appearance of a name.
Xu Sheng, a native of Langye Ju County, is 19 years old. He is good at using the iron chain sword and earns a monthly salary of two swords.
Anyone who invades the territory of Wu will be attacked and defeated if he is prosperous?
seriously!
This guy is a fierce man. He doesn't have many famous scenes, but he has been fighting in battles with less to win more for almost half his life. He fought against Huang Zu, Gang Cao's army, and Chong Shu army. He was one of the twelve tiger ministers of Jiang Biao.
But... isn't Xu Sheng a fierce general from Jiangdong? He is from Langya, and he went to Pengcheng to work as a bodyguard for the hospital.
I don’t know if it’s just the same name.
"What's wrong Yunwen?" Lu Su put down the bamboo slips and looked at Lin Mo.
"You don't have to choose, it's him!"
After looking at the name Lin Mo pointed at, Lu Su asked the shopkeeper to pick him up.
After a moment, an eight-foot-long, dark-skinned but extremely strong man walked in.
He looked like a wall, with no expression on his face. He just asked coldly: "Which young master is asking for protection?"
"He is the Young Master of the Lin Family." Lu Su took the initiative to create a Young Master of the Lin Family, which sounded quite domineering.
With her figure and the intimidating power she brings to people wherever she goes, she is quite qualified to be a bodyguard in a nursing home.
After simply stating his request and paying the agency fee, Lin Mo took Xu Sheng back.
"Why did the Langya people come to Pengcheng to work as nursing homes?"
"Something happened."
"With your figure, there should be many people willing to join the army or serve as a soldier. Why do you think of becoming a nursing home?"
"Save up money and go to Wu County to join your uncle."
"How long are you going to do this?"
"have no idea."
The dialogue between the two was very dry. Xu Sheng was boring and didn't like to talk.
When she returned to the house, Zhao'er had already put on a new suit of silk clothes and freshened up deliberately. She looked bright and charming, which made Lin Mo feel a little dazed.
"Young Master is back. The pastries are on the table. The meal will be ready soon."
It was convenient to have a maid. After Lin Mo went in, he grabbed a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he picked up another piece and waved it towards Xu Sheng, who shook his head dully.
When he came out again, Lin Mo stuffed a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake directly into Xu Sheng's hand, "There's no need to be formal, just treat it as your own home. Sit and eat when it's time."
Xu Sheng couldn't help but look at the young employer, a little surprised.
"The meal is ready, sir."
Like magic, Zhao'er brought three or four dishes from the kitchen, a bowl of rice, and then stood aside obediently.
"Why is it just a bowl?" Lin Mo asked in confusion.
"Didn't the young master say that you are the only one in the family?" Zhao'er blinked her big watery eyes.
"You don't want to eat?"
Then he nuzzled at Xu Sheng and said, "And him."
"How can a maid sit at the same table as the master of the house?" Zhao'er clicked her tongue as if she had heard a fantasy.
"You can't even protect the hospital." Xu Sheng added.
Lin Mo drooped his head. In this era, people like to use so-called etiquette to define superiority and inferiority, and justifiably divide people into three, six or nine levels.
But Lin Mo couldn't fully accept this. He went to the kitchen and got two bowls, placed them on the table, and pulled Xu Sheng to sit down.
"Zhao'er also wants me to take action?" Lin Mo asked.
"Sir..."
After meeting Lin Mo's questioning gaze, she sat down timidly.
Lin Mo ate happily, while Xu Sheng's eating was consistent with his character. He was dull and dry, looking at his children like a chicken pecking at rice, not daring to raise his head.
This kind of master and servant sitting at the dinner table is naturally very absurd in this era, but it can dispel a bit of the desertedness of the Lin family courtyard.
Eating, like life, requires a partner.
"We will all eat together from now on. You guys should get used to it."
After putting down the dishes, Lin Mo habitually came to the lazy chair under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and dazed.
Occasionally, I would think about how he could approach Cao Cao more quickly and offer advice when his father-in-law returned to Wen County.
Or imagine what the young lady from the Zhang family looks like.
"I don't know if the photo has ever been so beautiful."
Zhao'er's figure is not tall, and she is only A, but her face is really good-looking, pure and cute.
Maybe it's still young and hasn't grown yet.
...
Outside Xiaopei City, there is the main tent of the central army in Lu Bu's military camp.
A group of civil and military personnel were lined up on the left and right. Lu Bu, who was in command, looked at the terrain around Xiaopei on the sand table without saying a word.
The atmosphere in the tent was very dull, everyone was silent, the generals were holding back their energy to beat Liu Bei, and were very agitated; Chen Gong was angry that Lu Bu was becoming more and more biased towards Chen Deng, and was considering whether he should plan for the future; probably, only Chen Deng I was a little more excited.
According to the distance calculation, Cao Jun should arrive within a day or two.
He originally just wanted to persuade Lu Bu to attack Xiaopei. After driving Liu Bei away, Xuzhou would be isolated and helpless. When Cao Cao's army pressed on, the Chen family was willing to dedicate the city and perform meritorious services.
But things are different now. If there is a battle between Lu and Liu, and Cao Jun takes advantage of the situation and takes over Xuzhou, then he, Chen Deng, will be the first hero.
The status of the Chen family in Xuzhou will be further improved, and the governor of the state cannot be appointed. The court has explicitly prohibited local people from holding these positions.
But the position of prefect is okay, as long as it is not in Pengcheng.
If Liao becomes the eunuch, the Chen family members will all enter various key positions.
Just as Chen Deng was looking forward to the future, a burly man wearing armor ran in.
"Marquis Wen!"
"Chun Nan, you are finally back!"
Lu Bu breathed a long sigh of relief, his eyes full of hope, looked at Wei Yue and asked, "How is the situation?"
"Exactly as expected by Marquis Wen, we have found them!"
"good!"
Lu Bu excitedly punched Shuai An with a fist, his eyes filled with murderous intent, excitement and excitement, "We've already waited for them!"
