The Farmer’s Eldest Daughter Has a Spatial Pocket

Chapter 1398: Newly Bought Servants

Editor: Henyee Translations

It was already very late when Gu Yundong came out of Nanny Xia’s house. She bade farewell to Madam Ge and brought Tong Shuitao home.

Shao Qingyuan had already returned. Other than him and Shao Wen, there were six people standing at home. They were servants that Shao Qingyuan had bought from the brokerage today.

There were two older people. They were a couple with the surname Tian. Uncle Tian, Aunt Tian, and their son was called Tian Zhuang.

From now on, Uncle Tian would be the gatekeeper. Auntie Tian would help wash clothes and cook at home, and Tian Zhuang would help Shao Qingyuan.

The other three were all women. Two of them were about thirty years old, and one was about the same age as Tong Shuitao.

These three were prepared for the shop. One of the older women was surnamed Zhou, and the other was surnamed Chen. The young girl was called Zhuo Wenxiang. They looked honest and clean.

After Gu Yundong saw them, she left them to their work.

The six of them immediately went to work. They were quiet and diligent.

Gu Yundong then returned to his room with Shao Qingyuan and told him about Nanny Xia.

Shao Qingyuan said, "Nanny Xia didn’t reject me outright, which means that she’s actually curious. In less than two days, you can convince her."

"That’s what I thought."

Gu Yundong was actually not too worried about Nanny Xia. Instead, she was worried that it would be difficult to recruit people.

"Let’s not talk about anything else. It doesn’t seem easy to be literate."

Shao Qingyuan poured her a cup of hot tea. "Not necessarily. The capital is under the emperor. Compared to the Xuanhe Prefecture, there are more literate women."

That made sense, but Gu Yundong was still worried that no one would come to apply for the job tomorrow.

However, the next day, she still woke up early to freshen up. She picked up Nanny Xia in high spirits and went to the shop on Jinlan Street.

The few of them had just arrived outside the shop when they saw a lot of people surrounding the door.

Gu Yundong was shocked and hurried forward.

Only then did she realize that everyone was looking at the notice posted at the door. Some people were even surrounding Carpenter Pang and asking questions.

"Is what this notice says true? Is it really recruiting workers? But why female workers?"

"That’s right. What kind of business is this shop of yours? It can’t be some indecent place, right?"

Someone burst into laughter and said disdainfully, "You can’t do that kind of business on this street. Hahahaha."

Gu Yundong frowned fiercely. She heard Carpenter Pang’s anxious voice. "No, no, you’ve misunderstood. This shop is a serious business, and the customers are all women, so the boss recruits female workers."

"The customers are all women? Don’t joke. How can there be such a shop? Even the silver shop that sells gold and silver jewelry won’t stop men from entering, right?"

"I think the owner of this shop might be doing something shameful."

"The Ding family next door thought that this place hires embroiderers. They even said that they wanted their daughter to try it. I think it’s better to forget it. I’m worried about such a strange shop. Besides, the embroiderer should be in the job description if it’s desired. Who would write female workers? Don’t you think so?"

The corners of Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched. She turned around and saw Nanny Xia coming over and looking at him with a faint smile.

Gu Yundong broke out in a cold sweat. Just as she was about to speak, she saw a pretty girl walk over and say to the people around the door, "Sorry, can you make way? I want to go in."
