When the old mother saw the master's family praising her, she couldn't stop smiling, as long as the master's family was satisfied, then the more money she would earn. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Pick a few clever ones and take a look. Xinglan instructed her, and then sat down on the stool that Xin Wei had brought out, this was a confidant, and it was not something that could be done by pointing fingers casually.

Since it is to choose henchmen, of course, you have to choose it slowly and carefully. Xinglan's reputation has already spread in Shangjin, and when the old mother came today, she heard that it was the eldest lady in the Gongsun Mansion who picked the girl, and her curiosity was also full.

The old mother also heard that this Miss Gongsun has been living abroad since she was a child, and when she saw it today, it was not as rumored by the outside world.

After knowing Xinglan's requirements, she picked a few dignified and beautiful maids from the crowd, and then led people to stand in front of Xinglan, and said with a smile, "Miss, take a look, are there any eyes to see." ”

Xinglan sat on the stool and swept towards the people in front of him one by one, her appearance was not particularly outstanding, nor was she particularly eye-catching, and she thought in her heart that this old mother was shrewd.

In the past, Wen Niang said that around the young lady of a large family, the maid's appearance is mediocre, and when the young lady marries into her aunt's house, she will not rob the young lady of her favor. But it can't be too ugly, after all, sometimes the young lady is not happy, and she is afraid that other concubines will steal the limelight, so she will send the personal maid to the aunt's bed, one is that the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the other is that her own maid is easy to control, if the maid is too ugly, not to mention that the aunt can't look at it, but it will attract the disgust of the uncle, then it is a bit more than worth the loss.

"Which of you can read?" Xinglan asked, those who can read and write can do things, and communication will not be so difficult, and it can save a lot of brains, so such people are Xinglan's first choice.

Many Gu Liang came out to be maids for others because of their poor families, and there are very few who can afford to read and write, and there are not a dozen or so people in a row, only three of them stand up.

"Tell me what you all know, what do you know?" Xinglan asked again.

The one standing on the far left was the first to speak, "Miss Hui, the slave only knows some simple words. The slave's mother used to be an embroidery girl, but then her eyes were not good, so she passed the craft to the slave maid, and the slave and maid were not boasting, and no one else was present with the embroiderer. When Gu Liang talked about embroidery, the light in his eyes was different, and he seemed to be really confident.

"Can you show me your close-fitting Juanpa?" I don't know if it's really as good as she said, Xinglan can also embroider, but Wen Niang has always felt that she is not good enough.

Ah Song took the silk handkerchief in Na Gu Liang's hand, took it and handed it to Xinglan, Xinglan took it and only glanced at it, and felt that Na Gu Liang was not exaggerating, one corner of the handkerchief was embroidered with a few dancing butterflies on both sides, and one side was embroidered with a budding flower, whether it was a flower or a butterfly, it was embroidered vividly. Xinglan nodded and was very satisfied, this craft is not bad.

Xinglan didn't say whether to leave her or not, the old mother glanced at the Gu Liang in the middle, and the girl stepped forward and said, "Miss Hui, when the slave was young, I learned some three-character scriptures with the gentleman of the private school, and I can write a few words, and the slave is the best at accepting shoe soles, and I can make a pair of mille-feuille soles in one night." ”

Xinglan didn't say whether she wanted to keep her, the girl curled her mouth slightly, and stood back in the crowd, it seems that this young lady of the Gongsun family is not easy to serve.

The last Gu Liang lowered her head, her hands were unnaturally stirring the corners of her clothes, looking a little nervous, she knelt down towards Xinglan without saying anything, "Miss, my father used to be a private school teacher in our village, so he also knew some words, and he could write a few words." After speaking, he didn't speak, and he didn't even say anything more.

Seeing her like this, Xinglan felt a little strange in her heart, and knelt down at this good moment, thinking that she was going to say something, but she didn't say anything, "Since your father is a private school teacher, his family background is not too bad, why did he come out to be a slave and a maid?" is where Xinglan is puzzled, she is not a pampered young lady, and her previous life let her know what a teaching gentleman's home will be like.

Xinglan didn't ask, but Gu Liang knelt on the ground and shed tears vigorously when she asked, without saying a word.

When the old mother saw such a scene, her smiling face was a little unbearable, she thought she was a woman who taught Mr. Teacher, her upbringing must be much better than others, and the price could be raised.

She stepped forward and smiled at Xinglan and said, "Miss, don't be angry, this girl has only been here for two days and doesn't know the rules, I thought it was a good upbringing, then I know that such ignorance has made the eldest lady unhappy, so I will take people down, and ensure that there will never be such a thing in the future, don't blame the eldest lady for her great anger." ”

As soon as Gu Liang heard the old mother's words, she knew that she was doing something bad, so she kowtowed to Xinglan and said, "Miss, Miss, it's all my fault, please accept me! I really need this errand, my father is dying, just wait for the money I sold to save my life, Miss, you can do well." Na Gu Liang kowtowed as he spoke, and the force of the knock was so strong that it turned red after two strokes.

Xinglan was a little depressed, was she so terrible? Was she so difficult to speak? She was already soft-hearted, and she couldn't bear to cry this time. "Okay! Don't knock it down, if you keep knocking it, you should break the phase. As soon as the old mother heard this, she didn't expect her to have some means.

"And you can stay with you. Xinglan pointed to the Gu Liang who spoke at the beginning, "Ah Song, you take your mother down to pay the money, Xin Wei brought the two of them in." ”

Inside, the two knelt in front of Xinglan, and Xinglan asked carefully, "Tell me what are your names?"

"The slave's original name was Tian Erniu, and she is thirteen years old this year. If the name is not good, please ask the eldest lady to give a new name, and if there is anything in the future, the eldest lady just commands, and the slave must do her best. "The embroidery Gu Liang's mouth will say.

Xinglan thought about it, and saw that she had a powerful mouth and a round face, which was also pleasing, "Or call it Millennium." ”

"Miss Xie, the slave maid, gave her name. The millennium thanked Xinglan with a head of thanks.

"The slave's name is Rieman, and the beautiful man is fourteen years old this year. Riemann had just cried, tears still hanging on his eyelashes, and if you look closely, she is not bad, but it is also right to use the word Miaoman.

"Then I'll call you Manman! Your father gave you a good name. Seeing the way she cried just now, thinking that her father was always in her heart, Xinglan thought.
