Chapter 1741: Chapter 1741: All Must Be Reused (1)
Out of everyone in the estate, besides those brought by Gu Qingheng himself, there were forty additional servants, fifteen male and twenty-five female.
Gu Di handed all the Selling Covenants over to Yang Ruxin.
Yang Ruxin looked at the stack of Selling Covenants in her hand and sighed inwardly. How many people does one need to serve them? But there was no choice—the situation here was such that without people at hand, doing things would definitely be inconvenient. So, she followed the local customs.
These people were all assigned tasks previously. However, there was only one master in the entire General’s Residence, and usually, the Shadow Guards would attend to him personally. Thus, the servants didn’t have much to do and were quite relaxed.
Now the female owner needed to select maids to attend to her personally and to work in Hengxin Pavilion. Everyone knew this was an opportunity. Serving the master closely was a great honor, and if one was lucky, they might have a good future ahead.
Among the maids, some even thought since the General was so handsome, and considering their own good looks, perhaps they could become an Aunt or something in the future.
Therefore, everyone took this selection very seriously.
It took four hours for Yang Ruxin to see each of the forty servants individually, and by then, it was already dark.
"Let everyone disperse, we’ll continue tomorrow." Yang Ruxin glanced at the notes recorded by Du Yunpeng and Du Juan, then waved her hand, "I need to sleep for a while. Don’t call me for dinner." She was indeed very tired, but fortunately, her spirits were much stronger than before. Otherwise, she might not have been able to last these four hours.
Du Yunpeng got up and went out, while Du Juan assisted Yang Ruxin upstairs.
That sleep was very deep, and when she opened her eyes again, it was bright daylight. No one was beside her, but there were traces showing that someone had been lying there.
Apparently, Gu Qingheng had come back to sleep last night, but he had already left again.
She stretched, then sat up, feeling refreshed. There was no fatigue that a good night’s sleep couldn’t solve.
Du Juan heard the movement and brought in warm water: "When the General returned, Miss... no, Madam was still asleep, and when the General left, Madam was still not awake, so the General said not to disturb her..." Entering Beijing, the terms of address had to change.
Yang Ruxin nodded, washed up, and went downstairs to find Gu Di had already had the meals prepared and laid out.
The dishes looked exquisite, and the taste and texture were quite good, aligning with her taste preferences.
After eating, Yang Ruxin called Gu Di over and handed him the record from the previous day: "These are the details on everyone."
Gu Di glanced at the paper listing everyone’s names, slightly astonished. After all this time, although he and the General knew these people were actually eyes for some individuals from the court, they hadn’t figured everything out yet. But in just a moment, the Madam had understood everyone’s details.
"This Lou Family member will be the Manager for this courtyard... wait, people in Beijing refer to this position as nanny, so let Madam Lou be the Manager, Lun Yi and Hong Yi will stay with me, and any other needed personnel will be assigned by Madam Lou."
Gu Di frowned, "Madam, these two maids..." Lun Yi and Hong Yi were precisely the two who got slapped yesterday, and they were placed by different masters.
"One is from the Virtuous Concubine, and the other is from the Virtuous Concubine too, I certainly cannot disregard the goodwill from two noble ladies, can I?" Yang Ruxin smiled, "Madam Lou is the Emperor’s person, so I cannot refuse to use her. Therefore, they must be utilized well."
