"Maid?" Meng Zhinian thought for a while and asked, "How much money will be given in a month?"

How much monthly money does the maid in the family receive every month? Zou Chengji frowned. He really didn't know this. He was a little marquis, so how could he pay attention to such things?

"Ten taels of silver." Zou Chengji thought in his heart, ten taels of silver should be about the same.

"So little?" Meng Zhinian murmured in a low voice. The aunt gave Ling Xuan fifty taels of silver every month, which was too much different.

Li Yanxu was already surprised when he heard Zou Chengji say he wanted to give this girl ten taels a month. You should know that the monthly silver of ordinary maids will not exceed five taels, mostly about two taels. Even in a family like the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, there are very few people who can get ten taels of silver, and they are usually the most capable left and right-hand men around the masters. The maids who just entered the mansion will definitely not get ten taels of silver... He thought that it was probably because Mr. Zou didn't know much about the monthly money and silver from the family's subordinates, so he probably estimated the amount he had figured out.

But he didn't expect that it was Meng Zhinian's reaction. The girl was still thinking that the moonlight was 10 taels a month and was still too little. However, judging from her ignorant reaction to staying in the inn just now, she shouldn't be too ambitious, and she probably didn't know much about these things.

This made Li Yanxu even more curious about what this girl came from, and why did she seem to be a foreigner? She didn't know much about everything in the world.

At this time, Zou Chengji, who heard Meng Zhinian thinks that the ten taels of silver is also furious, "You still think that the ten taels are too small? The busy guy in the inn only costs one tael of silver a month. You have been working for ten months for a month, but you still think that the little one is too small?"

He didn't know how much the monthly money was for the maid in the family, but he had accidentally heard a inn before saying that their shopkeeper gave him one tael of silver a month. At that time, he felt that one tael of silver a month was too little. However, the guy thought it was okay and said that if he was happy to serve the guests, he could get some extra rewards. After working in a month, he would be enough to support himself. If he saved some money, he could save some money and no longer work as a friend in the future and wanted to do some small business.

So he felt that it was already a lot of money for her to give her ten taels a month, but she didn't expect that she would still think it was too little!

"Is that true?" Meng Zhinian looked at Li Yanxu beside her with a proof look. She believed him more than the man opposite her.

Li Yanxu nodded affirmatively at her, "It's true."

Meng Zhinian suddenly felt a little embarrassed on her face and said to Zou Chengji: "I'm so sorry, I don't know much about these..."

Her apology made Zou Chengji stunned. She clearly didn't like her, but she would still consider coming to her house to be a maid, and now she is even sorry to herself?

Somehow, when she said sorry, Zou Chengji felt a little embarrassed. In order to hide his inner embarrassment, he couldn't help but cough and pretended to be tough: "Then will you come to our mansion to be a maid? I'll tell you that I'll just show my kindness this time. After passing through this village, there will be no store."

"Okay, I'll do it." Meng Zhinian nodded decisively. What the maid knew was that she was doing something that Ling Xuan would usually do? She knew what she knew. She was responsible for food, accommodation, and money, which was quite cost-effective.

"Okay, then you can go with me. I don't think you have any place to stay. Today I will go to my house to work, so you can also have a place to sleep."

"Wait a moment."

Meng Zhinian turned around and looked at Li Yanxu beside him, "Mr. Li, I'll send you on the carriage first. It's raining very quickly." After all, this is someone's umbrella, and I feel embarrassed to let him get on the carriage in the rain.

"good."

After Li Yanxu and Zou Chengji said goodbye, they took the umbrella held by Meng Zhinian. The two walked side by side to the carriage not far away under the umbrella.

"Don't sign a contract for sale." The rain and fog outside the umbrella were heavy, and Li Yanxu spoke in the umbrella.

"Um?"

"Once you sign a contract for sale, you will become a slave, and it will be difficult to escape again. If the master doesn't let you go, you will never be able to leave for the rest of your life. It is best to do a short-term worker, so that you can leave at any time if you want to leave. Although the money given by the short-term worker is lower, it is fortunately free."

Meng Zhinian didn't expect that there would be such a difference in being a maid, so he hurriedly thanked Li Yanxu. This young man is such a good man. He not only borrowed his umbrella and cloak, but also gave him some advice. If he had the chance in the future, he would definitely repay his kindness.

Next to the carriage, Li Yanxu handed the umbrella in his hand back to Meng Zhinian, "Okay, go back. Although Mr. Zou is a little domineering person, he is not too bad. You can do things with peace of mind after you arrive at the Marquis' Mansion. Remember to talk less and do more."

"Well, I remember." Meng Zhinian nodded obediently.

Seeing Li Yanxu get on the carriage, Meng Zhinian walked back to Zou Chengji with an umbrella.

Li Yanxu looked at Meng Zhinian through the window of the carriage. This girl looked too ignorant of the world, so she couldn't help but mention her a few words, hoping that everything would go smoothly after she entered the Marquis' Mansion.

"What did you and Li Yanxu just now?" Zou Chengji frowned and looked at Meng Zhinian.

"So that young master is Li Yanxu?" Meng Zhinian couldn't help but recite the name silently in his heart.

"I'm asking you, what did you two say just now?" Did she hear the point in her words?

"I didn't say anything, I was just talking about returning his umbrella."

"Li Yanxu is too stingy. He just has an umbrella. So what if he doesn't pay it back?"

Meng Zhinian looked at him in confusion, "Of course you have to pay back what you borrowed." Isn't this natural?

Zou Chengji looked angry and couldn't understand her. He was just an umbrella. With Li Yanxu's wealth, he could afford 100,000 umbrellas. What can I pay back?

"Don't talk too much here, follow me! Otherwise, you will really sleep on the streets at night. What can this umbrella cover you at that time?"

...

"Young Master, are you back?" Seeing that his master came back, the maids hurriedly came forward, handing the towel and handing the cloak, the cloak and the tea-filled tea... After a busy trip, Zou Chengji finally sat down to drink tea with a refreshing look.

"Go and call Liu Mama over." Zou Chengji ordered.

"Yes." A maid immediately responded.

Of course, the maids were very curious about who the girl brought back by their son, but the master didn't speak, so where did they dare to ask the servants?

Not long after, Liu's mother, who was in charge, was led in.

"I've seen the young master."

Zou Chengji didn't talk nonsense to her and said directly: "You make arrangements. This girl will serve her in my room from now on. I will give her ten or two months of silver a month."

Before Liu's mother could look at Meng Zhinian, she was shocked when she heard Zou Chengji's words. Ten-day Month Silver? Her own moon silver was only twelve taels. In the entire house, except for himself and the Mama Qin around the Marquis, there was no more than ten taels of moon silver than ten taels. How could this girl get the ten-day Month Silver as soon as she came in?

"Young Master, may I ask... what you mean by 'serving'...? Are you going to accept this girl as a hukou?" If the young master wants to accept her as a hukou, she will be half a master. In this case, the monthly silver of ten taels a month is still OK.
