    "Why do you still have children here? Could it be that this child is also?"

    Luo Chunxi, who is only six years old, stands out among the women.  Although there are several other little girls, they are also underage.

    But those girls are at least five or six years older than Luo Chunxi.

    Therefore, the little girl Luo Chunxi stands out.

    In addition, people in this era are short of food and often do not have enough to eat or clothing to keep warm.  So little girl Luo Chunxi looked as pitiful as a small bean sprout.

    The yellow and bifurcated hair is messy. Although the mother combed it into two small tangles, it still looks so messy.  Coupled with the sallow look on his face caused by malnutrition, as well as his thin arms and legs, people feel pity from the bottom of their hearts at the first sight.

    At this time, Luo Chunxi felt that many eyes were turned towards him.  For a moment, the little girl looked very frightened and uneasy. She had never had such an experience before.

    Especially when walking over, the little girl Luo Chunxi secretly looked at these Chinese genetic girls.  From these genetic girls, the little girl Luo Chunxi felt something unprecedented.

    This feeling brought a lot of pressure to her.

    ?Perhaps, this is the aura of a rich lady from a wealthy family.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT I was a young lady from a wealthy family, she didn¡¯t even need to say a word when I stood there, she looked different from someone like me.

    "Small is a bit smaller, but this child studies very hard and is very smart. Don't forget, there is no such thing as child labor in this era, and if you hire her, you will be giving her a life.  Make a living. Maybe it can change her destiny in the future. "

    As the male imperial youth who introduced housekeeping, he didn¡¯t say much.

    I just told the genetic girls who came here to let them understand what era it is now.

    Yes, this was the early seventeenth century, but there was no such thing as child labor.

    In the world of this era.  In many countries, many children like Luo Chunxi have started to do things.

    Whether in the East or the West, there are many such things.

    Moreover, in another time and space, even in modern society, the use of child labor still occurs in some areas and cannot be eliminated.

    Not to mention in such an era.

    And what the young housekeeping introducer said was right.  Hiring Luo Chunxi did give her a chance to change her destiny.

    If she does well and is smart and diligent, she will learn a lot from these Chinese female employers.

    It is always much better than working as a maid for a wealthy family in Ming Dynasty.

    If Luo Chunxi is not selected for employment, then she can only stay with her father.

    By then, her life will be completely fixed.

    Farming.  Take care of the housework, and then find someone to marry when you grow up.

    So, what future does she have?

    "You are right. Many things in this era are unfair to women. Now that we have encountered it, we cannot turn a blind eye and ignore it. Although the little girl is younger, it does not matter much. As long as we hire  Then she can make money based on her own ability, which can be regarded as an extra capital for her independence in the future. "

    At this time, a girl wearing an imperial military uniform, who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old and had shawl-long hair, spoke up and agreed with the young genetic man's words.

    "I hired her."

    This girl immediately decided to hire Luo Chunxi.

    "Oh, if you want to hire Luo Chunxi, you must also hire her mother. This is a small request of the two of them. Do you have any objections? If not, I will draft an employment contract here.  ."

    The young man has no objection to this.  Anyway, after the employer hires you, it¡¯s up to the employer how to use it.

    "Anyway, these genetic girls in the empire are not bad, and they will not abuse these employed people.

    So, there is nothing to worry about.

    In short, compared to those wealthy families in the Ming Dynasty.  The genetic girls here in the empire are very easy to get along with.

    " Moreover, there are not so many doorways and troubles here, and there will be no troubles like house fights.

    ¡°Okay!, no problem!¡±

    ?Perhaps because she was working in the army, this girl with a delicate little face that looked like a porcelain doll was so happy that even Luo Chunxi¡¯s mother hired her.

    For this girl, it¡¯s just a matter of money.

    She is a mid- to high-level civilian officer in the military, and she earns a month¡¯s salary plus a lot of subsidies.  At the same time, she also has several shops and a farm covering an area of ??3,000 acres in Jinshan City, so supporting two servants is a piece of cake.

    It can be said that she is a real little rich woman.

    "Okay, I'll start drafting the contract right now. Please wait a moment."

    Two people were successfully hired, and the young man was very happy.

    After all, this is open.

    After this time, as time goes by, these employed Ming women will definitely become a role model.

    By then, after the second batch of immigrants arrives, these people can serve as examples.

    Luo Chunxi and her mother still haven¡¯t come to their senses at this time.

    This is it?

    This is too simple.

    The host hasn¡¯t asked about their situation yet, so it¡¯s settled like this.

    Isn¡¯t it a bit sloppy?

    No matter what, the matter is settled now.

    The contract has been drafted over there, and it seems that it cannot be changed.

    ¡°Besides, it¡¯s a good thing that people are now willing to hire the two of them, so they won¡¯t be separated.

    Judging from the conversation between the man and the woman just now, this lady is a good talker.

    So, if you do things next to her, I guess as long as you don't do anything wrong, there won't be any trouble.

    "Quick. Quick, meet the lady."

    At this time, the young officer, who looked like a porcelain doll, walked towards them.

    When Luo Chunxi¡¯s mother saw it, she immediately pulled Luo Chunxi away.  He immediately knelt on the ground and started kowtow.

    In the Ming Dynasty, when servants saw their masters, they had to give a big courtesy.

    ¡°In the future, don¡¯t kneel down and kowtow all the time. There¡¯s not that much etiquette involved in doing things around me.¡±

    ¡°Obviously, the young officer is very unaccustomed to this.

    "Miss, this must not be abolished, otherwise it will be a mess. The little woman must not dare."

    Unthinkable.  Out of kindness, I fed the dog.

    Luo Chunxi¡¯s mother lowered her head and said something that suddenly choked the young officer.  She swallowed what she wanted to say next.

    "Come on, come on, the contract worker has written it. Both of you have a look at it. If there are no problems, just sign and fingerprint it."

    at this time.  The young man who had drafted the contract came over and interrupted the somewhat awkward atmosphere.

    The contract is in triplicate. After it is signed, one copy will be kept by Luo Chunxi¡¯s family, one copy will be kept by the young officer, and one copy will be kept by the young man in charge of housekeeping.

    It can be said that this contract is not ambiguous at all.

    The contract was drafted in calligraphy.  And it¡¯s still traditional Chinese.

    This is also to make it easier for immigrants like Ming Dynasty to understand, so they chose calligraphy and traditional Chinese characters.

    After all, they can¡¯t understand simplified Chinese characters.

    Unfortunately, Luo Chunxi and her mother cannot understand even the traditional Chinese characters written with a brush.  Women in this era are not like modern women in another time and space. They are completely illiterate.

    Especially for women at the bottom of the class, that is even more impossible.

    Fortunately, this problem is easy to solve. There are several literate scholars among this group of immigrants. These scholars were selected, and a person came to explain the contents of the contract to these women.

    The content of this contract is very simple.  It contains nothing more than the work and responsibilities that the employed person will be responsible for after employment, as well as their related rights and interests.

    At the same time, the contract also states the employer¡¯s rights and interests, as well as the salary to be paid to the employee.

    In short.  This contract is nothing compared to the maid employment documents in the Ming Dynasty.

    Even the scholar¡¯s ??eyes widened in disbelief after reading it.

    You should know that in the Ming Dynasty, girls from good families were hired as maids, although there was a written guarantee.  But basically, working as a maid for a wealthy family is no different than signing a contract of prostitution.

    It can be said that life and death are up to others.

    That¡¯s a lifetime of being a cow or a horse.??Éú.

    But looking back at the Song Dynasty¡¯s document (contract), it¡¯s not that dark at all.

    It even states that the employee can be given two days of rest per month.

    Damn it, there is such a good thing.

    The good things are far from over.

    For those maids in the Ming Dynasty, it was very good to have a few coins per month. After all, their food and drink belonged to the master's family.

    The best thing is that all year round, you only have a few feet of floral fabrics to make clothes.

    Those who can obtain these can only do so by following a master who is not evil.

    But this document (contract) clearly stated that the little girl Luo Xiniang could get three taels (three pieces of imperial dragon gold) per month for a month, and all she needed to do was to follow the young officer and give her  Just doing something as simple as running errands to spread the word.

    And it is obvious that as a personal maid, this is to be cultivated as a direct line.

    As for Luo Chunxi¡¯s mother, Luo Liu, all she needs to do is clean up the housework and keep the house in order.

    Such a job is too simple.

    And just like that, Luo Liu's monthly silver quota was clearly written in black and white, and he could get five taels of silver a month.

    My dear!

    This is just great luck.

    The scholar looked at Luo Chunxi and Luo Liu with something wrong in his eyes. He was filled with naked envy and hatred.

    And Luo Liu and the little Luo Chunxi are also in a state of petrification at this moment.

    Thinking about it, the two of them were also shocked by some of the information in this contract.

    You know, according to Luo Liu's original idea, it would be great for the two of them to earn five or six pieces of silver a month.

    Who would have thought that I could get eight taels of silver this month?

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    This is not a dream!

    At this time, with the beginning of girl officers, the other genetic girls who hired housekeepers also began to choose.

    "Come back to your senses, come back to your senses, and if there's no problem, put your fingerprints on it. If you are here, you have to go back with me. I asked for leave today." The young officer raised her hand to kiss the petrified mother-in-law.  He shook it, and then said to them in a dumbfounded way.
