After dinner, Chen Afu, Mrs. Song, Mrs. Huang, and Aunt Mu washed the children's faces and sent them to bed. Chu Hanyan, Yang Qian, and Luo Mei slept in Chen Afu's bed, Dabao, Yang Chao, and Luo Mingcheng slept in Alu's bed, Dahu and Daya slept on the bed in Chen Ming's room upstairs.
In the late afternoon, while the children were sleeping, Madam Luo brought a few people to Lu Garden.
She said these were the servants Master Chu had selected for Chen Afu from the senator's mansion and handed over the indenture contracts to Chen Afu.
Looking at these six people, old, middle-aged and young, Chen Afu had a headache. She wondered why her household needed so many servants and lamented that Mr. Chu really didn't understand the hardship of ordinary people.
