Liu Residence

At first Liu Tián Qǔ was a bit undecided, but finally, Liu Tián Qǔ decided to tell them of the Dark Blossom dual potion. So very briefly told them of the peddler and the Dark Blossom dual potion.

Eyes wide Housekeeper Gao exclaimed in shock, "Heavens! Something like this exists!"

"That's exactly what I thought as well. Then I bought one. Later on, when I heal from taking it, I will be building my body into a muscular build. This will help me greatly. This will partially solve my situation of bathing around my maids. Also, when I take off my shirt, the maids will not see anything that will give me away." Liu Tián Qǔ said then changed the subject quickly Butler Zhou began blushing.

"Also, Auntie, I am expecting a large delivery of body strengthen potion from the Phionex Medical shop. For the coming month, I will be building my body up to take the potion. See if you find someone who knows how to cook traditional medicine well and know a bit about herbs." Liu Tián Qǔ requested

"Actually, I bought a young lady today named Hòu Dao. She refused to tell me her surname for the record. She said her name is only Hòu Dao and since her family discarded her. She, in turn, discarded them. She was raised in a small village near the Asledan borders. Hòu Dao claims to be well versed in herbal knowledge, although she cannot be considered a doctor. She claimed to have assisted the doctor in her village. What do you think?"

"Good, send her to me in a day or two. I will test her knowledge and if it is good. She will be allowed to brew my medicine, and I will also send her to assist the doctor that I will be bringing in soon."

"We will have a house doctor? This is great!" Housekeeper Gao exclaimed in excitement.

"I am working on it. It may take a little time yet." Liu Tián Qǔ said she refilled everyone's cup of tea.

Taking a sip of tea, Liu Tián Qǔ said, "I am also expecting a special delivery from the peddler. I will be home all day tomorrow when he comes to deliver the package have someone let me know. I wish to speak with him about something." Liu Tián Qǔ said with a slightly distracted look on her face.

"No problem, Young Master." I will be sure to send someone to inform you when he arrives tomorrow.

Liu Tián Qǔ looked over to Zhou Yù and said, "Zhou Yù for one hour a day I will teach you and your assistants how to speak using your hands. It's called sign language. It will make things much easier for you. It will also allow you to assert your authority better." Liu Tián Qǔ said with a gentle smile, shocking poor Zhou Yù.

Little Zhou Yù sat there, speechless her jaws almost touching the tabletop with a half-eaten orange in her hand.

"Sign language that meaning she would be able to speak using her hands?" Butler Zhou asked in astonishment. He then said, "I want to learn too."

"Me too," Housekeeper Gao said with suspiciously wet eyes. Making her light brown eyes glow beautifully.

"Then I would teach everyone at night when everyone has finished their duties. Which reminds me, auntie, I understand you weren't able to find any suitable girls to be under Yù'er?"

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

"No, I wasn't able to find anyone suitable. There were a few girls for sale. However, their personalities were lacking." Housekeeper Gao said as she shook her head.

"Good job. I don't need girls here that would bully Yù'er or give her a hard time. I won't have it. For now, don't worry about finding any other girls. I found one assistant for Yǔ'er so far. There is a young boy name Sōng Shǔ who came with his sister. You should have already met them."

"Yes, he said you bought his slave contract so he can take care of your horse. So I placed him and his sister in one of the small courtyards near the stables." Housekeeper Gao said

" Yes, I saw, although young. He is particularly talented with horses. When his sister gets well, she will be Yù'er's first assist. Earlier this evening, when I first arrived, I stopped by the stables to hand my horse over to Sōng Shǔ. I took the opportunity to meet his sister. She seemed to be a perfect candidate to assist Yù'er. She appeared to be an obedient, quiet girl who loves her brother dearly. I will also have her attend the class. It is important that she have the ability to communicate with Yù'er."

"This is good. This is very good." Butler Zhou said.

"I want to take this opportunity to inform everyone now. In the future, this household will become a very busy household. Auntie Gao, you grew in the palace. You understand the negative side that will come with serving a master who has a deep connection with people of high power. Take care to train Zhou Yù well. She must know how to deal with the backlash and the vultures that with flock to our banner." Liu Tián Qǔ said with a serious tone of voice.

"I also want to make it clear. Do not under any circumstances accept gifts sent for me from anyone other than the Wang's unless I say otherwise. I don't care who they maybe. I don't entertain official. If they come, turn them away, do not even allow them to step one foot over the threshold of my residence. The only people to be granted entry at any time is the people of the Wang Royal Manor." Liu Tián Qǔ said, painting a deep contrasting picture. The young thirteen-year-old girl dressed as a boy speaking so firmly with such authority. It painted a picture deep into the hearts of the couple and Young Yù'er.

"We understand Young Master," said Housekeeper Gao

"We will be sure to carry out your orders," said Butler Zhou.

Zhou Yù nodded in understanding.

"Shortly, we will have house guards that will guard the entrance and take care of that. However, until that time, that burden will probably fall on your shoulders, which brings me to say. Once the commander takes his post, beware that the barracks will be his territory. If he needs you for anything, I'm sure he will inform you."

"I understand," said Housekeeper Gao.

"I also want both of you to be on the lookout for an assistant that you can train that can help you run the residence. It will become busier later on, and I don't want neither of you to exhaust yourselves."

"I understand, thank you, Young Master." Said Housekeeper Gao, "I am already considering one person. However, I need to observe her more before making any decisions. Today is the first day after all."

"Young Master, for your kindness." Said Butler Zhou

"Does anyone have any questions they would like to ask?" Liu Tián Qǔ asked?

The couple looked at each other, then turned back to Liu Tián Qǔ and told her no.

"There are still a few more things to discuss. The first thing is your pay. Whatever you were getting paid at your last housekeeping or butler jobs double it. As for Zhou Yù Auntie, you decide her pay. There is also a monthly hidden bonus for each of you. I will allow each of you two gold per person in personal expenditure each month. It is to be documented in the ledger under personal expenditures." After the couple and the young girl bowed in thanks, Liu Tián Qǔ continued on to say.

"Although just about everyone we have now are slaves, I still would like to give them the incentive to work well. Auntie and Uncle, I will leave it to you to discuss a fair wage for everyone. Oh, I forgot to ask. Did you bring everyone's slave contracts over?" Liu Tián Qǔ asked.

The talks went on for about another hour before the couple departed, and the young maid retired to an attached room for servants in Liu Tián Qǔ chambers. Leaving Liu Tián Qǔ quietly sitting at the table, enjoying the ambiance of the moon. Unaware of the changes she brought about that never happened in the lifetime of the original body owner.
