The next morning, Li Shao and Zhao Ye got up and opened the door to see that the yard had been swept clean and things were arranged in order.
Even the edge of the well could be seen to have been wiped. Sun Liu was brushing the donkey when Shen Qing came over with a basin and said, "Master, Master Husband, thank you for your kindness in saving this servant."
Seeing that he still looked a little haggard, but his complexion was normal, Zhao Ye hurriedly said, "Why are you up so early? If you are so sick, why don't you rest in the house for a while?"
"Thank you for your concern, Master. Thanks to you two, the medicine you gave me is very effective. I am now well and can serve you."
"Now let me help you wash up. An Ge is in the kitchen and you will be able to eat soon." As he said this, he was about to carry the basin into the house.
Zhao Ye hurriedly shouted, "Put the basin there, I can do it myself, no need for anyone to help me wash my face." Oh my god, do I need someone to help me wash my face? He was not used to it.
Seeing that Zhao Ye really didn't like it, Shen Qing put down the basin, stood aside, and said respectfully: "I was afraid of disturbing the master and the master's husband, so I used the things in the kitchen to make some food without asking the two masters. Please don't blame me, master and the master's husband."
"I'm not blaming you. You get up early, clean the house and cook. You've worked hard. And don't call me the househusband. It makes me uncomfortable." Zhao Ye said, scratching his head.
Hearing him say this, Shen Qing didn't know how to answer.
At this time, Li Shao said, "Listen to your husband, let's go and have dinner first. We can talk about these things after dinner."
He put his arm around Zhao Ye and went to the dining room. After they sat down, the three of them hurriedly served the food, including millet porridge, steamed buns, meat patties, scrambled eggs, a dish of pickled cabbage, and a dish of pickles, and then they stepped aside.
Shen Qing said, "I don't know what the master and the master's husband like to eat. Are there any taboos? Please try it and see if it suits your taste. If there is anything wrong, I will change it."
Zhao Ye looked at the table. Although it was just some ordinary breakfast, it smelled much better than what she cooked. She said, "My husband and I are not picky eaters. These dishes smell delicious. You have been busy all morning. Come sit down and eat."
Sun Liu had a big appetite and had been hungry for a long time. When he heard the master had spoken, he wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Shen An.
He said respectfully: "We are servants, how can we eat with our masters? Wait until the masters finish eating, and then we will go to the kitchen to eat."
Sun Liu was originally a bit stupid. He was a farmer in the countryside before his hometown suffered a disaster. Later, he sold himself as a slave and did manual labor. He basically had no direct contact with his master.
But he knew that Shen An came from a wealthy family and knew a lot. When Shen An stopped him like this, Sun Liu was so scared that he dared not move, for fear of angering Li Shao and Zhao Ye and being sold back again.
He had a big appetite. Before, he was only given one meal a day in the human market, and it was always slop. It was only yesterday when he was bought back by the owner that he had his first full meal and slept in a warm and comfortable bed. He didn't want to go back.
He wanted to beg for mercy but he was too tongue-tied to utter a word for a long time.
Li Shao saw this and although he felt that there was no need to make a big deal out of it, he really didn't want them to eat with him and Ye Ge'er and disturb their world of two.
Then she said, "Don't be nervous, there's no such big rule. You don't have to stand by when my husband and I eat. There are plenty of tables at home, and the kitchen is spacious. You can put a dining table and a few stools in the kitchen, and you three can eat there from now on."
"Go now. There's no need to cook two meals. You can eat whatever we eat. If there's not enough food, just make more until you're full. It's better not to buy you food and then leave you hungry."
Seeing that Li Shao was speaking from the heart, Shen An said with gratitude: "Thank you, Master, thank you, Master and Husband. If you have anything, please call us anytime."
The other two also thanked him repeatedly, and then the three of them went to the kitchen to eat.
Seeing the people leave, Zhao Ye finally let out a sigh of relief and said to Li Shao: "My husband, why do I feel so tired when I have someone to serve me? What's more, they still talk about master and servant, and they don't even want to eat with us."
Seeing his embarrassing look, Li Shao couldn't help but laugh. "After dinner, we'll tell them the names and other rules. But Brother Ye, since we spent money to buy them, they are our servants. It's their duty to work and serve you."
"But, maybe I'm not used to it. I've never been served before." Zhao Ye couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was not the one who enjoyed life. If his mother or sister-in-law had enjoyed it long ago, he would really be a loser.
Li Shao touched his head and said gently, "You will get used to it slowly. Just treat them as our hired workers. We won't treat them harshly, but you don't have to be too polite to them. After all, you are indeed their master."
Zhao Ye thought for a moment and said, "Husband, I know what to do."
Li Shao looked at him and wondered whether he had figured it out or not, so he didn't take it to heart. He thought that Ye Ge'er would get used to it eventually.
"Okay, let's eat quickly, or it will get cold."
After dinner, Sun Liu, Shen An and Shen Qing stood in the main hall waiting for Li Shao and Zhao Ye to give them their first lecture.
Looking at the three people standing below, Li Shao cleared his throat and said, "You don't need to be too nervous. My husband and I don't like to beat or scold people. As long as you work hard and do your job honestly, we will naturally not treat you unfairly."
"Also, from now on, you are not allowed to talk about master or call yourself a servant. Just call me boss or Brother Ye, husband. Do you understand?"
"Slave, no, I understand, Master, husband."
"Understood, Boss, Husband."
"Understood, Boss, Husband."
Seeing that they had changed their words, she continued, "There are only my husband and I in this family. From now on, you must listen to my husband. If I find anyone disrespecting me, you will be sent back to the human city."
"I will keep the master's words in mind and will never neglect my husband."
"Yes, yes, I dare not."
"I will definitely serve my husband well."
Seeing how they were learning, Li Shao nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, all three of you tell me about your origins, how you were sold to the Human City, and what you did before. Let's start with you."
Li Shao pointed at Shen Qing who was standing on the far left. Shen Qing immediately said, "To my master and husband, I used to be a servant to the lady of a wealthy family in Linhe County, Lancang Province. I am good at sewing and cooking."
"As for how to get to the city..."
At this time, Li Shao saw Shen An next to him clenching his fists tightly, with veins bulging on his forehead. He was trying his best to control his emotions.
Shen Qing gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and said, "I was sold into the Shen family when I was young, and my name was given to me after I entered the Shen family. I have been serving the Madam all the time. Until one day, the Madam sent me to deliver something to the Second Young Master's wife's room. On the way back, I happened to meet the Second Young Master. He saw that there was no one around, so he wanted to bully me."
"I didn't want to do it, but when I saw I couldn't escape, I pulled out my hairpin and scratched my face in desperation." At this point he could no longer control his tears, but he didn't dare to cry in front of his master, so he just tried his best to hold back.
