Chapter 214: Chatting with the Villagers
After a while of selection, Yun Xi kept five housekeepers, one for each of the female members of the family, and two etiquette maids.
There were also ten stewards, nine personal servants, one for each male member of the family, and the remaining steward served as an assistant to Cao, the chief steward.
Another child of six or seven years old was chosen to be Yun Shuai's study companion.
Mu Qingyuan has a study partner, so Yun Xi wanted to arrange study partners for Yun Yi and Yun Shuai as well.
As for Yun Yi's study partner, she thought that Liu Ji, the youngest son of Lady Liu, was a good choice.
When Liu San and Liu Niangzi heard that Yun Xi said that she wanted to choose their son to be Yun Yi's study companion, they hurriedly pulled Liu Ji to kowtow to Yun Xi and Xi.
Liu Ji also promised that he would accompany Young Master Yun Yi to study hard in the future.
Yunxi and Xi were very satisfied. Liu Ji was smart, and Liu San's family was honest. Yunxi didn't mind promoting them.
After selecting these people, they also selected another twenty or so servants and maids to do the rough work, as both the martial arts hall and the school needed people to clean.
Let Ying Tianchen take the rest back.
Ying Tianchen gave her Nanny Lin, who had served her twice in the palace. Yun Xi also thought that Nanny Lin was good, so she kept her.
In addition, he was given two personal maids. These two maids were about 16 or 17 years old, one was a doctor and the other was a martial artist. They were both very capable.
Yun Xi thought that she had a lot of things to do in the future, and she didn't need a maid to serve her, but it would be nice to have two more capable helpers, so she gladly accepted it.
Ying Tianchen gave her the indentures of everyone, and she threw them into the space.
After Ying Tianchen left, Yun Xi asked Madam Liu to arrange accommodation for the servants according to her instructions and familiarize them with their respective tasks.
Yun Xi was busy all the time and didn't have any free time until the evening.
Lu Peixiu had been watching Yun Xi arrange all the household affairs in an orderly manner. She had already realized that the head of the Yun family was actually an unmarried girl like her. It seemed that Xi and Li did not understand these housekeeping matters.
In her heart, she couldn't help but admire Yun Xi for being capable. If it were her today, she wouldn't be able to guarantee...
Forget it, just tell the truth.
Not to mention that I can't guarantee that I can do better than her, I definitely can't arrange it. She was overwhelmed just watching from the side.
Thinking of what her mother said, that she would teach her how to manage the household after she came of age, fortunately, there was still half a year until her coming of age, so she could still take some time off.
After half a year, the worst that could happen is that I would just stay in the Yun family and not go back.
Yes, just do it.
Although working in the Yun family requires work, it is easier than being a housekeeper.
The key is that you can eat delicious food every meal here and practice martial arts in the morning.
This seems better than staying at home.
The more Lu Peixiu thought about it, the happier she became.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?"
Yun Xi stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes. Lu Peixiu was so absorbed in her thoughts that she was startled by Yun Xi's sudden action. She exclaimed, "Ah, what are you doing?"
Yun Xi sneered, "I wanted to ask you why, but you didn't respond after I called you several times."
"Oh, I was just a little lost in thought."
"Okay, follow me to the field."
Yun Xi said this and went out first, heading towards the field.
Lu Peixiu hurriedly followed, feeling very excited.
She had been in the village for a day and had wanted to go out for a walk. But Yun Xi had been busy all day, so she had to follow him and had no time to spare.
It’s great to be able to go out with him now.
Looking around, there are quite a few people in the village.
"Uncle Zhuzi, are you back from the fields?"
"Yes, I went to the greenhouse to pull weeds. The vegetables grow fast and well, and the grass is also growing wildly. Look at this grass, it's so tender and fresh, I'll pick some to feed your cows."
The Yun family was the only one in the village that had cows, and they would borrow them when they plowed the land. Everyone regarded the cows as treasures, and naturally sent the grass they pulled to the Yun family to feed the cows.
After a few more pleasantries, Yunxiu continued walking forward. Lu Peixiu hurriedly followed.
As he walked, he looked back at Uncle Zhuzi who was carrying two baskets of green grass.
I don’t understand how Yun Xi can talk to such a typical farmer.
After walking a few steps, they met another young man.
Yun Xi greeted with a smile, "Brother Yun Fei, where are you going?"
Yun Fei was the eldest grandson of the Yun clan leader, only one year older than Yun Qi, and would soon reach the age of twenty. Since he had read a few books and knew a few words, and was also a family member, he was arranged to work with Yun Qi and manage two workshops.
He smiled and responded, "I'll go find your eldest brother and tell him about the workshop."
As he was talking, he saw Lu Peixiu behind Yunxi and realized that she was a strange woman. He lowered his head and didn't dare to glance at her.
Lu Peixiu looked at him curiously. He looked average, not as good as the eldest brother of the Yun family, let alone the second brother of the Yun family.
Yun Xi nodded, "My elder brother is at home, you can go."
After walking a few steps, I met another woman.
This time, before Yun Xi could speak first, the other party waved from a distance and said loudly, "Xi girl, come out for a walk."
Yun Xi also shouted at the top of her voice, "Yes, Aunt Bao, where are you taking Brother Bao Pi?"
Both of them were wearing new clothes and were walking back from outside the village.
Aunt Bao said, "Well, isn't Pi Ge'er old enough? Now that our family conditions are gradually improving, I want to arrange a marriage for him."
"Any clues?" Yun Xi asked.
"Yes, the matchmaker helped introduce a girl from the next village. I went to see her with Pi Ge'er today."
"How's it going?"
"The girl is 16 years old, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, big breasts and a big butt. She looks like a good childbearer. I like her looks."
"So this is done?"
Aunt Bao lowered her eyes, shook her head and sighed, "Oh, no."
"What?"
Aunt Bao was stunned. The voice was not Yun Xi's.
When she looked up, she saw a head popping out from behind Yun Xi, staring at her curiously.
