Chapter 541 A ray of light shines in the dark sky
Hong Yang looked at Su Yao and wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, so she could only nod: "Yeah."
In fact, Su Yao was looking at her childhood self in Hong Yang.
She was also very timid at that time, but she knew that if she didn't work hard, no one would help her, and she had to work hard for what she wanted.
Until I met Shen Xia.
A ray of light finally shone into the gloomy sky.
It was her salvation. She had always thought that Shen Xia was timid and needed her protection. Later, she realized that Shen Xia didn't need her protection. She just wanted to be friends with her and make herself feel that she was worthy of friendship.
So when faced with someone who is similar to her, people will always feel a little sympathy.
Next, Su Yao selected four more people, two maids and two servants.
But later, some people followed Hongying's example, but Su Yao chose according to her own taste.
So not everyone can be like Hongyang.
After all, the first person to try something new is the most important.
Shen Xia only remembered it after Su Yao had chosen the person.
There must be no shortage of people in her yard, because the second brother, the third brother, the fourth brother and the fifth brother all have a servant.
She also has two maids, so she is definitely not short of people.
On the contrary it is quite lively.
There is no shortage of people in Song's mother's yard, and everyone around her was brought from her hometown.
Shen Xia looked at Fan Zifu next to him. He used to be called the housekeeper, but now in the capital, his status was not suitable for him to move around in different households.
So he is not suitable to be a butler.
Then the factory was far away, and it was not suitable to work as an accountant in the factory.
Finally, Shen Xiajue decided that he was the most suitable person to be the accountant in the mansion.
Shen Xia looked at Fan Zifu and said, "Mr. Fan, you will be the accountant of the mansion from now on. What do you think?"
In fact, Fan Zifu sometimes also gives guidance to Xiaotian and Xiaowu in their studies, so he is half a master in any case.
In fact, you can also ask him not to do any work and still pay him every month.
But we've been together for several years.
So Shen Xia has some understanding of Fan Zifu's character.
It would be most appropriate for him to be the accountant of the mansion. Granny Mo could chat with Mother Song from time to time to relieve her boredom.
Fan Zifu nodded after listening to Shen Xia's arrangement: "According to the princess's arrangement, am I the only accountant? Do you want to arrange another cashier?"
Shen Xia smiled and said, "There's not much money to pay at home, so I won't need it. Besides, don't I know Mr. Fan's character?"
When Fan Zifu saw that the princess said this, it meant that she completely trusted him.
"can."
"Well, you get ten taels of silver a month, and mother-in-law gets five taels of silver." Shen Xia talked about the treatment of the two.
No one mentioned Fan Yu, because Fan Yu did not work. He accompanied Xiaotian and the others in their studies, so all the expenses were paid by the government, so of course he did not receive any salary.
The combined wages of the two people amounted to one hundred and eighty taels a year, which was considered a well-off family even in the capital.
At that time, those at the fifth rank only earned 190 taels a year, and those below the fifth rank could not reach 180 taels.
A first-rank official only earns one thousand taels a year, while a junior-rank official earns nine hundred taels.
Therefore, the wages in Shen Xia Mansion can be said to be quite high.
Seeing that his wife still wanted to be paid, Fan Zifu quickly refused and said, "My Lady, ten taels is enough for me. I don't do any work, so there is no need to pay me."
Shen Xia smiled and said, "The things that Granny Mo taught my mother, I'm afraid it's hard to learn even if you spend money, so how can you say that you didn't do anything!"
Besides, although Granny Mo has been away from the capital for several years, there are still new people coming into each family.
In fact, as for the elderly, Grandma Mo is probably familiar with the relationships with each family, so she is still useful to Mother Song.
When Fan Zifu heard the princess say this, she stopped talking.
The two have been together for several years, Shen Xia understands Fan Zifu, and of course Fan Zifu also understands Shen Xia.
He usually speaks and acts gently, but he is a man of his word.
"Thank you very much."
"You deserve it."
Fan Zifu was very satisfied when he heard Shen Xia's recognition of him.
Although the current status is not high.
But the host respected them very much and would not humiliate them. The family lived happily together and felt that they lived a more comfortable life than before.
That’s enough, just watching Yuer grow up.
Don't worry about anything else.
He had been in the court for many years. When he first saw Xiaotian, he felt that he looked familiar and was very similar to the current emperor.
Now Yuer and Xiaotian study together.
The relationship is pretty good, but who knows what the future holds!
If his guess is true...
He doesn't have to worry about Yuer's future at all.
Shen Xia looked at Fan Yu next to him and said, "I was planning to take you to the Expo Academy this morning, but it got delayed. We can't go today. Let's talk about it tomorrow morning."
Fan Yu nodded: "Is it up to you, Princess?"
Shen Xia chuckled: "Why? I used to call you sister in my hometown, but now I feel awkward when I come to Beijing."
Fan Yu hesitated for a moment, thinking about what his grandfather taught him yesterday.
When you don’t know how to respond.
At this time, Granny Mo smiled and said, "Since the princess said so, Yu'er should just call me sister!"
What else does Fan Zifu want to say?
But after taking one look at Grandma Mo, she stopped talking.
Seeing that his grandfather didn't say anything, Fan Yu said, "Thank you, sister."
"Ah."
Shen Xia and Su Yao returned to the main hall.
Looking at Xiaotian, I suddenly felt that Xiaotian lives alone, and there might be too few people in the yard.
Shen Xia's eyes fell gently on Xiaotian, and she asked softly, "Xiaotian, how many people are there in your yard now?"
Xiaotian's face was filled with a bright smile, and he answered crisply: "Sister, there are already four people in my yard, that's enough."
Shen Xia nodded slightly to show that he understood, but he was secretly wondering in his heart whether only four people were a little too few.
So she said, "Xiaotian, how about we add two more people? This way we may have more manpower."
Xiaotian shook his head firmly and responded, "Sister, there's really no need. If there are more people, it will be a bit troublesome."
Hearing Xiaotian's firm refusal, Shen Xia no longer forced him.
Then, she turned to look at Ming Ye beside her and said, "It's up to you to arrange what happens next."
Ming Ye nodded and responded, "Okay, Princess, don't worry, I will handle it properly."
Afterwards, Ming Ye led those people away in an orderly manner.
After everyone left, Shen Xia suddenly slapped his forehead, as if he had remembered something important, and hurriedly asked Song's mother: "By the way, where are Xin'er and the others?"
Song's mother smiled and explained, "They went back to the manor early in the morning. They originally said they wanted to say goodbye to you before leaving, but who knew you hadn't gotten up yet."
Shen Xia couldn't help but frowned slightly, with a hint of regret: "Oh, why did you leave so soon? You didn't stay a few more days to accompany Mom..."
