After unlocking the material space, I raised my younger siblings in a farmhouse.

Tian Jinlan has three stars in cooking skills. Lin Chuyi's main purpose of this trip was to recruit a cook, and Tian Jinlan just met her selection criteria.

Tian Xiaoxi is average in all aspects. Her talents are one star in cooking, one star in flower arrangement, and one star in cleaning. But her diligence level is four stars. Moreover, she and Tian Jinlan are mother and daughter, so it would not be good to choose someone to separate the mother and daughter.

In the future, more and more people will live in that house, and the amount of food to be cooked every day will gradually increase, so let her help Tian Jinlan.

Lin Chuyi led them all the way out of the city and came to the newly purchased house. The previous owner of the house had just moved out not long ago, so the house was relatively clean.

Lin Chuyi had already arranged all the furniture needed for the house in advance, and all the bed sheets and quilt covers had been placed in place. Even the meat, eggs, vegetables, rice, flour, grain and oil in the kitchen had been arranged. Jin Manlou and the others could just move in with their bags.

Jin Manlou and the others followed Lin Chuyi into the house, unable to hide the surprise on their faces.

I originally thought that Lin Chuyi came from a humble family, but I didn't expect that he owned such a big house.

But why was it so quiet in here? Apart from the sound of them walking, there was no other movement.

The three of them looked at each other and followed Lin Chuyi anxiously. Tian Xiaoxi huddled beside her mother Tian Jinlan, holding onto her sleeve tightly.

Tian Jinlan was also a little scared, but she tried her best to stay calm in front of her daughter, reaching out and holding her daughter's hand to comfort her.

Lin Chuyi led them in through the main gate, around the screen door and into the outer courtyard.

There are two side rooms on the east and west sides of the outer courtyard, which are smaller than those in the inner courtyard.

On the street side are five south-facing rooms. The easternmost room is the main door, followed by the gatehouse, then the living room and study, and the westernmost room is the garage.

Go north and pass through the second gate to enter the inner courtyard. The main courtyard is the largest, which includes five main rooms with ear rooms, five east and west wing rooms, and the south side is separated from the outer courtyard by a wall, leaving only one gate for people to enter and exit.

Walking around the main house from the corridor is the third courtyard, which contains a total of eight back rooms.

The courtyard wall encloses the three courtyards, turning them into a square layout. This is the basic structure of the house.

Lin Chuyi bought this house not for himself to live in, but to use it as a training base, so the layout inside needs to be changed.

The living room, study and the kitchen on the south side of the east wing of the front yard remained unchanged, while most of the other rooms such as the gatehouse, wing rooms and back rooms were converted into multi-person rooms by Lin Chuyi.

All the ornamental flower beds and rockeries in the yard were removed and turned into a vegetable garden. The original ornamental pond was turned into a fish pond by Lin Chuyi, who invested a lot of space in it to store fish fry.

The large open space in the inner courtyard was converted by Lin Chuyi into a training ground. Dozens of weapons such as swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks and forks were arranged in order on the weapon racks, reflecting dazzling light under the sun.

Jin Manlou and the other two became even more frightened when they saw this situation, and their legs could not stop shaking as they moved forward.

Lin Chuyi took them into one of the main rooms.

The main house was in the best location and was large and spacious, making it perfect for use as a classroom. So Lin Chu only kept one room for himself and converted the others into classrooms.

So when Jin Manlou and his companions entered the room, they saw many square tables neatly arranged in the spacious main room, with a long table at the top. How come this layout looked like the layout of a college? The more they looked, the more confused they became.

Lin Chuyi came to the top seat and sat down, looking at the three people.

"The main room on the far east is my room. I will come here occasionally to stay for a few days. When I'm not here, don't go near my room."

"Yes." The three of them nodded in response.

"The other main rooms are similar in layout to this one. They are used for study. The other rooms are currently empty. You can pick one to live in. It's first come, first served."

The three of them looked at Lin Chuyi in shock. They had all worked in wealthy families before, so they naturally knew that wealthy families were very particular about rules.

The rooms in the east and west wings were for the masters to live in. Once they became slaves, they became lower class people. How could they live in the same house as the masters?

"What? Is there a problem?" The shock on their faces was so obvious that Lin Chuyi couldn't help but notice it.

"The villain dare not."

"The slaves dare not."

As they spoke, they knelt down before Lin Chuyi, with their heads touching the ground.

Lin Chuyi...

Although I know that the rules were strict in ancient times and I have seen many scenes of ancient people performing rituals on TV, watching it on TV and experiencing it in person are two different things.

Lin Chuyi didn’t know how other people felt when faced with such a situation, but she felt extremely embarrassed.

Lin Chuyi understood that the hierarchy under the feudal dynasty was deeply rooted in people's minds. She did not think she had the ability to change the current environment, but she still hoped to make some changes within her sphere of influence.

"Everyone, please stand up. I don't like others to kneel before me. From now on, you don't have to kneel before me. Let me introduce myself first. My last name is Lin, and you can just call me Miss."

The three of them stood up, bowed slightly towards Lin Chuyi, and said in unison: "Yes, young lady."

Lin Chuyi nodded in satisfaction, "This is a residence under my name. You will live here from now on. Jin Manlou will temporarily take over the position of housekeeper and be responsible for all affairs in the mansion. Tian Jinlan, you used to be a cook, so you can continue your old job. The kitchen will be handed over to you, and Tian Xiaojuan will be responsible for helping Tian Jinlan. Do you have any objections to this arrangement?"

"no comment."

"Only at the lady's command."

"Very good. In the next period of time, many people will come in. Butler Jin will be responsible for their food, clothing and other expenses. Just make sure they are well fed and warm. Record the expenses in a book and report to me at the end of each month. This is the first month's expenses. I will refund you for any excess or supplement you for any shortfall. Take this for now."

Lin Chuyi took out a hundred-liang bill and handed it to Jin Manlou.

Jin Manlou took it with trembling hands and spoke with gritted teeth.

"Thank you for your trust, young lady. Jin Man Lou will definitely live up to your expectations."

Jin Manlou said this, but in his heart he thought that the girl trusted him, and he should be grateful, but it was too easy to trust others. Although the indenture was in her hands, if he wanted to, wouldn't he be able to deceive the world by manipulating the prices? That is, she met him. If it was someone with bad intentions, wouldn't the girl lose a lot?

He and the girl have only known each other for one day. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for him to remind her now?

But if I don't remind her, what if the girl gets cheated? Oh! This is really worrying.

Lin Chuyi used mind reading to find out Jin Manlou's true thoughts and couldn't help but nod secretly.
