Chapter 31

Settled in Liqiao

Although Su Gu had never set rules for the servants in his house, he was not completely ignorant of it.

After all, he was born in a scholar's family in the county town. The mistress of his family was originally from a wealthy family and was in charge of the entire backyard. The more than ten servants and maids under her were all submissive to her.

When he was young, he envied his mistress for having maids to serve her, so that she didn't have to cook and wash clothes in the cold winter. Unfortunately, it was too cold in winter to practice physical training and swordsmanship. In order to keep warm, they could only stay on the small bed, covered with all the bedding and wearing several layers of clothes. Aunt Rou told him interesting stories from the martial arts world, anecdotes of old friends she hadn't seen for a long time, and occasionally talked about ways to manage the household.

But whenever the topic of managing a household came up, Aunt Rou would sigh that she had grown up wandering around the world and was not good at household affairs. Also, because of her status as an aunt, she had no access to household affairs and did not even have the chance to learn.

She was not sighing for herself, but she felt sorry for her little Gu'er, who had no proper mother to teach him how to manage household chores and deal with interpersonal relationships. In the future, even if he got married and lived in his husband's family, he wouldn't be able to manage the household properly and would be disliked by his husband's family. In that case, little Gu'er would be the one who suffered.

Although Su Gu didn't say anything, he knew in his heart what his aunt was worried about. In his spare time, besides reading books, he would also think about how his mistress managed the Su family. Over the past ten years, he had learned a lot from what he had seen and heard.

Although the servants were bought by them, they still had to be paid a monthly salary, and a set of rules were required for their food, clothing and other expenses. Su Gu sat at the desk and thought for an hour, and finally wrote something that was almost done and gave it to Gu Yuan.

"Look, sir," Su Gu explained, "I plan to let Mu Tou be the manager, and he will be in charge of four boys. The older one will be the assistant. The monthly salary will be 30 cents. Although it is less than the people in the county town, this is just the beginning. I will increase it after I understand their temperament."

"For food and clothing, we mainly use brown rice and gray flour, and every month we add five catties of white flour, five catties of white rice, and ten catties of meat. We make two sets of clothes for each season, and the colors and embroidery patterns must be the same. In addition, bedding and washbasins are bought by the family, and they are replaced every three years."

A piece of paper was filled with dense writing, so detailed that even the time for taking a break was specified.

Gu Yuan looked at this management code which was as detailed as any he had ever seen, and his admiration for Xiao Fulang increased. He was never stingy in expressing his emotions, so he immediately pulled him back and rested his head in Xiao Fulang's arms, rubbing his head:

"My Agu is really awesome, the most awesome husband I have ever seen. From now on, all housekeeping matters will be handed over to Agu. I will be a small cricket, relying on Agu to support me. Come and rub against my husband~"
