Chapter 1671 Give water to drink
Murong smiled and said: "Auntie, now you are the wife of the official family, the eldest brother is still a general, and I am also a villager. If there are not many people in the family to serve, it will make people laugh."
"Although I have always asked the women in the village to come and help, but now everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, and they are busy with their own affairs every day. Although they may be willing, it is still not good to bother them, so as not to get tired and get sick."
"I didn't buy people before because I couldn't find a suitable person. Now that I have this opportunity, it's naturally the time to buy."
Since Liu Jianian married into their family, her two dowries took the initiative to do a lot of work in his family. Sometimes they even helped to wash the clothes of Xiao Si and Xiao Liu.
Even if Liu Jianian and Songyue Changyue didn't mind, it made her feel very sorry.
Their family obviously has the ability to support their descendants, but they have always ordered the dowry maids who are married to their daughter-in-law, and it will make people laugh when it is spread out.
It's time for her to add more staff to the family. Anyway, there are still vacant rooms in the east and west courtyards, and they can live there.
Xiao Manan thought about it carefully, and felt that what her daughter said was right, so that Songyue and Changyue would be more relaxed. They have been serving their family with their daughter-in-law's dowry maids. It's really not good to say it.
At this moment, someone suddenly looked at Murong and said, "Miss, can you give me some water to drink, I haven't had a drink for a whole day."
Another girl around thirteen years old also said: "Miss, I want to drink too."
When others saw that someone took the lead, they also spoke up.
"Miss, please give your servant a little too."
"The servant girl hasn't had a drink for a long time, please let me have a drink too."
"Miss, slaves too."
"Minions too."
…
Murong Lingran asked Tong Wenwen to go down to prepare, and asked, "Didn't the people at Yaxing give you water to drink?"
The person who first spoke said: "No, they say that the water is very precious, they don't have enough to drink, and they say they won't give us water unless we are thirsty to death."
Murong Lingran asked again: "Is there a shortage of water in Yaxing now? Don't you guys in Yaxing have your own well?"
"It's lacking, very lacking, there are wells, but the water level is not high, so the people from Yaxing are so reluctant to give it to us."
At this time, Tong Wenwen also brought the water over. When those people saw the teapot, their eyes were straight.
But in order not to let them break the bowls impulsively, Tong Wenwen filled them one by one, and then let them come over in turn.
After everyone drank a bowl of water, they still felt that it was not enough, so Tong Wenwen added it to them one by one.
Murong Zhe watched each of them gobble up drinking water, frowned and said, "Is the water shortage in the city to such an extent?"
Murong Lingran heard the words seriously and said: "Dad, don't worry, under the feet of the emperor, His Majesty will not let the capital be in chaos. On my way back, a minister started water supply at the entrance of the mansion, although it is not as good as the rain before. time, but certainly enough for them to survive."
Murong Zhe looked at Liu Jianian, "Jianian, I remember that there was a well in your grandfather's house, and there were more than one well. I wonder if he sent a message to you to report safety?"
Liu Jianian said: "Dad, don't worry, my grandfather did send someone to send me a letter yesterday, saying that everything in the house is normal, and there is water in the well. I also responded to His Majesty's order some time ago and saved a lot of water."
