Chapitre 417: Chapter 413: Catching the Groom Under the List_1

Yingbao was making some mental calculations:

She would have to hire two more people for the kitchen, and two maids for her mother's room. Plus, she needed one housekeeper who would take care of domestic affairs, and a shrewd butler for outside matters.

Two coachmen ought to be hired, and her younger brother should have two more boys to assist him as well as a master.

With all that considered, she needed to hire more than ten servants. Not only did she have to pay them monthly, but she also had to provide their clothes for all four seasons, daily necessities, and three meals a day. That was the basic condition.

Suddenly, Yingbao felt that the money she had saved was not enough.

She tapped her forehead in frustration.

Right, her second cousin also needed to hire a couple of boys. Those boys needed to be young so they could grow up serving their master and would not betray him.

"Miss, the dishes are all ready. Shall we start the feast now?" the cook, Mrs. Liu, asked with a smile.
