Chapter 892 Those Who Wish to Stay, Must Prove Themselves
of them.”"Don't bother, just wait a moment for me," Zongyu smiled.He climbed onto the edge of the pond and soon gathered a pile of firewood beside it to light a fire."Throw the fish to me."Fang Jinxi...Wang Tianyue became more and more excited, his companion named Ajiu pulled the people beside him out to stand with him.
"I believe Brother Wang Tian wouldn't lie to me."
They walked up to Fang Jinshu and bowed to her, then stood on her left.
Many people were moved by Wang Tian's words and began to walk towards Fang Jinshui in twos and threes.
There were about thirty people standing here, and in a short while almost all of them came over.
Only four or five people were left, each of them so anxious they were about to cry. With a thump, one fell to their knees.
"Madam, we were all houseborn children of wealthy families before. We have never stepped foot in a farm or worked the land. We truly don't know how to do farm work."
But besides farm work, we can do all the other jobs.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, only a slave would plant flowers. It should be about the same as planting vegetables, right"
“I'm good at embroidery! I can do any needlework.”
When the little girl opened her mouth, Fang Jinshi paid extra attention. She could embroider That was great! Taking her back would be perfect for helping her grandmother with the embroidery, so she wouldn't have to struggle with everyone's clothes all by herself.
She said not to let her do it herself, now the family is not short of money to buy ready-made clothes, but the mother-in-law wouldn't listen and wouldn't allow her to tinker with needles and thread so she had nothing to do.
"Come here."
That little girl paused for a moment, then happily jumped up and ran to the left line.
Others looked at me, I looked at them, all anxious.
"My lady, while we servants are not skilled in farm work, running errands and doing odd jobs is no problem at all. Moreover, we servants can read."
"How many characters do you know"
During the Great Xi dynasty, there weren't many families who could afford to let their children go to school and learn to read. Most common people were illiterate.
It's still very necessary to buy a few literate servants to go back, who can help Chang He.
"Alright, come here all of you."
The Tooth Fairy's jaw dropped. He led in over thirty people, all of them
"My Lady, are you truly going to buy up so many people in one go"
Fan Jinshu nodded.
Those people were overjoyed, and the tooth-tapping official looked back at King Jing, his face showing embarrassment.
In the teeth-pulling line, strong and capable laborers, especially those who can read, are valuable. With so many people, how much silver should he charge this madam
She was brought here by the prince himself, and the two of them seem to get along quite well.
The steward looked at the King for a long time, but Jing Wang pretended not to see him, lowering his head to sip his tea, relaxed and at ease.
Fang Jinxiu, unaware that the Yaxing manager was already thinking about pricing, suddenly changed the subject and addressed these people.
"Alright, now it's my turn to choose you."
Everyone immediately stopped laughing and was stunned.
"Madam, what do you mean by this"
Fang Jinshui said softly, “Business isn’t about one side doing all the work, is it You have the power to choose whether or not to work with me, and I naturally have the power to choose who I work with.”
"Just now, all the literate and embroidery-skilled individuals stood behind my maidservant."
A few people who were called out ran happily behind Xiao Yue, this must be what it means to be chosen by the mistress, right
Little Yue also nodded to them, confirming their thoughts.
The other twenty or so people weren't as optimistic, their faces etched with anxiety.
"The people who come to Jinxiu Mountain Villa are here to work. I hate the kind of person who eats with a bowl in one hand and looks at the pot in the other, gossips, and betrays their master."
"So to truly become a part of Jinxiu Mountain Villa, you'll still need a trial period."
Trial period Everyone looked confused again. Most of the words this man was saying were unfamiliar to them.
"Madam, does this trial period mean we're going to be working for a while first to see if it's a good fit"
Fang Jinshi nodded and glanced at the person who spoke.
It turns out the young man called Ajiu who came was called by Wang Tian.
"Yes, if you can't do your work properly or try to cheat and cause trouble in the manor, I will send you back."
Those who want to stay have to prove themselves.
Hearing this, everyone became nervous. They had forgotten one thing: their master, who held their contracts of sale, had the right to sell them back to the slave market. However, Fang Jinshu's previous depiction of life was so dreamy and beautiful that they had been completely swayed.
Life that ordinary people couldn't even dream of, with free medical care provided, the master giving them housing, food and drink year-round, along with new clothes, and monthly silver. There are also designated days off every month.
This sounds like something out of a myth.
Even palace maids and eunuchs who worked for the emperor didn't receive this kind of treatment.Tiger Brother broke his arm, Grandpa wouldn't even pay for his medical treatment. In the end, he stopped feeding us and wanted our whole family to fend for ourselves.""Now that Tiger Brother's arm is...
