Chapter 16 Buying a Maid
In Quanzhou City, in Li Hao's rented residence.
The old housekeeper Ding Fu hurriedly walked towards the main hall of the middle courtyard.
Li Hao was sitting in the main hall, holding a bowl of frozen lotus seed candy in his hand and drinking it slowly. The weather was too hot, so he had opened the refrigerator and drank some frozen drinks from time to time to relieve the heat.
Although he brought two sets of home solar power generation systems, the power was still sufficient, but it was not enough to enjoy air conditioning in the Northern Song Dynasty. The rooms here are too big, and the gaps in the doors and windows are too big, plus the roof citrons and walls
There are too many gaps between them, and no amount of air-conditioning is enough to escape. A refrigerator would be great, but air conditioning is out of the question for the time being.
Ding Fu walked into the hall and reported to Li Haohui: "Master, the renovation of the photo studio is in progress and it is estimated that it will be completed in seven or eight days. In addition, according to your instructions, Master, four maids have been selected for you."
"Four? Didn't I say just buy two maids?"
"The old slave has prepared two more for you to choose from, young master. You choose two of them and send the other two back. These four people were trained by Jin Yutang at a high price and received strict training since childhood. They are all literate in writing and are proficient in Chinese chess and chess.
They are good at calligraphy and painting, good at singing, dancing, and singing, and know etiquette and rules. They were bought and raised by Jin Yutang from childhood, and specially sold to wealthy families as maids or concubines. They are all of perfect beauty."
"Tell them to come in and take a look." Li Hao has officially reached an agreement with the Liang family. In a few days, he will formally sign a contract and officially buy the Liang family's land and residence in Quanzhou. The conditions have been agreed upon by both parties, and a down payment of 20,000 yuan has been made.
, the remaining balance was to be paid within two years, and due to the short payment time, we got the Liang family to reduce the price by another thousand guan.
Qingrewan Liang's House, no, it should be called Qingrewan Li's House now. The garden of Li's House is too big, and Li Hao doesn't let servants enter the garden. After all, too many people will affect the practice of the Force, so if the servants are in a hurry,
, Li Hao may not be able to hear him even if he screams outside.
Li Haocai planned to buy two personal maids and let them live in the garden so that they could send messages. Moreover, the place he lived in was too big, so someone had to take care of it. Of course, although Li Hao came from a poor family, he was also a normal person.
He's not a saint, but who wouldn't want to enjoy the warmth of a beautiful maid's bed if he has the conditions?
Brother has also begun to degenerate. It is all caused by the poisonous social environment. In the Northern Song Dynasty, buying a maid was legal, reasonable, and reasonable. Isn’t this tempting and depraved? Brother is a promising young man in the 21st century, and he cannot resist it.
This kind of temptation. What an evil feudal society!
Under the leadership of the servant, the four girls had filed into the hall.
Beauties, all four of them are top-notch beauties. Although they are slightly inferior to Mo Shiyun, who has brought disaster to the country and the people, they are also rare beauties. Perhaps in terms of appearance alone, they are different from Mo Shiyun.
It just lacks a unique temperament than Mo Shiyun.
It's a pity that they are a little younger and their bodies have not fully grown yet.
This is due to the different concepts between Li Hao and the people of the Northern Song Dynasty. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the age of sixteen was considered the best age for a woman to get married. If she was not married after the age of eighteen, her parents would be very anxious.
She was considered to be an old girl who could not get married. In the words of the overworld, people in the Song Dynasty believed that anyone over twenty years old was a leftover girl.
From the perspective of the Northern Song Dynasty, these girls were at the most suitable age, but Li Hao felt that they were too young.
These girls looked at Li Hao expectantly, all hoping to be chosen. They had been trained as maids since childhood and had already accepted their fate. The only difference was which master bought them. Many of the sisters they trained together were
Bought by an older man. In comparison, Li Hao seems to be a good owner.
Li Hao felt a headache, but these four girls were all beautiful. It was not easy to choose two from them. He sighed: "Old Ding, Old Ding, you are helping me lose my family."
"Ah?" Ding Fu said, "The old slave is scared and doesn't understand what the young master means."
"You brought these four beautiful ones back, how do you want me to choose? Buy all four."
"This... is all due to poor consideration by this old slave." Ding Fu was speechless for a moment.
Li Hao waved his hand and said: "Forget it, forget it, what are you afraid of when you lose your family? Can you afford to lose my family property?"
"That's it, that's it. With this old slave's perspective, if he wants to make ten thousand guan, he has to rack his brains, and he can't think of how to spend this huge wealth, but the young master can make 10,000 guan without any effort.
, I want to help the young master procrastinate his family, but his ethics are far from enough."
"Well, Old Ding, your flattery skills have improved a lot."
"That's because I have been following the young master for a long time, and my mind is a little more flexible than before."
Li Hao asked the four maids to introduce themselves. The youngest of the four maids was only fourteen years old, and the oldest had just turned sixteen.
After hearing this, Li Hao said: "Your names were given by Jin Yutang. They are in the nature of a stage name. They are too glamorous. After entering my Li Mansion, it is not appropriate to use your old names. Well... let's do it this way. There are just four of you.
They are named after the four gentlemen among the flowers: plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. To make it simple, in order of age, they are called Xiaomei, Xiaolan, Xiaozhu and Xiaoju."
After a pause, Li Hao said again: "Go back to Jinyu Hall to clean up and move here in the afternoon. Old Ding, arrange a carriage to pick them up and send some long-term workers to help them move their things."
Ding Fu has arranged for manpower to pick them up and drop them off, and there are many long-term workers in the Li Mansion to handle such small tasks.
Li Hao watched them leave and sighed: "Jin Yutang trains all these beauties? They are really discerning and willing to spend money."
Ding Fu said with a smile: "It's impossible for all of them to have maids like this. These four are the best in Jin Yutang. The reputation of the Exotic Treasures Pavilion has already spread throughout Quanzhou. When Jin Yutang heard that the young master wanted to buy a maid, he would naturally
Give me the best and most expensive one."
"Oh? It seems that in their eyes I am a fool and have too much money."
Ding Fu smiled and said: "Everyone knows that he has a lot of money, but who would think that the young master is stupid? Those who think this way are the real fools."
After hesitating for a moment, Ding Fu said with a slightly solemn expression: "Young Master, I have a distant relative who came back from Bianliang. He was a famous criminal master in Bianliang before. He heard about the young master's situation, and he told me that the young master had just returned from Bianliang.
When you return from overseas, your foundation is not stable, but you suddenly amass a huge amount of wealth, it is easy... this... you have to be careful of officials."
Li Hao was drinking a drink. When he heard this, he suddenly stopped and held the cup without moving. His originally smiling face became serious. He had indeed been too high-profile since coming to the Northern Song Dynasty. Who in Quanzhou didn't know that he was rich?
As soon as the boss of Jinyutang heard that he wanted to buy a maid, he immediately sent the best one.
This is not a society ruled by law like the main world. The officials here have various privileges, including county magistrates who destroy families and magistrates who exterminate families. This is no joke.
The meaning of Mr. Xing's words was very clear. Other wealthy people were closely connected with officials and had common interests. However, he had just come to Quanzhou and had not won over officials or made friends with powerful people. He did not have enough power to protect his property.
, this is "unstable foundation".
The reason is simple: a three-year-old kid holding ten guan of money in his hands can easily be robbed on the street; if a strong and powerful man has ten guan of money, no one dares to make a mistake. Of course, if that child
If you only have ten cents in your hand, no one will think twice about it. Wealth must have corresponding power to protect it. If you have huge wealth without corresponding power, you will be a dish in the eyes of others, and others will always think about how to eat you.
.
Li Hao's way of thinking is that of the main world. In the legal society of the main world, this is not a problem. At least no one will come to rob him. But in the world of the Northern Song Dynasty, where the government is supreme, and under the general environment of the county magistrate,
You will be at great risk to yourself.
Li Hao put down the cup, stood up and patted Ding Fu on the shoulder: "Old Ding, thanks for your reminder, I will add this to the year-end bonus. By the way, where is that master working now? I want to treat him to a meal, thank you
His tips.”
Having been in the Northern Song Dynasty for a while, Li Hao felt that the most lacking thing here was talent. If he could recruit Master Xing Ming, it would be helpful to his development in the Northern Song Dynasty. It would be worth it to hire such a person several times the salary, but he didn't have it anyway.
Short of money.
Ding Fu didn't expect that Li Hao would personally invite the master to dinner. He replied: "He just came back from Bianliang and went back to his hometown in the countryside. He will not return to Quanzhou in a few days. He is now thinking about a certain job in Quanzhou. He is older.
I don’t want to leave my hometown anymore.”
"Great, as soon as he returns to Quanzhou, you can use my invitation to invite him. Remember: it must be formal and grand." Li Hao said solemnly.
Ding Fu quickly agreed. He knew that Li Hao had been recruiting talents and had been cooperating with Cui Ji Ya for a long time to find elites. Whether they were accountants, shopkeepers, or store clerks, as long as they were truly talented, Li Hao would recruit them with high salaries. Even if there were no positions for the time being,
Recruiting came in first. Ding Fu didn't understand this kind of "talent reserve" and thought it was a waste.
