Chapter 14 Choosing a maid in the house

When I arrived at the hospital, I found that several sisters had already arrived at the place, and after seeing us, I asked my mother for peace. I subconsciously looked at the second sister, only to see that she has suffered a lot these days, and her chin is thin and pointy, alas, poor people must have something to hate. When they saw me, their blank eyes glared at me fiercely. I still don't know what to say, but the previous forbearance is gone, as if it is a broken jar.

E-Niang didn't look at her, the third aunt was invited to the small Buddha Hall since the last time, maybe she will stay there for the rest of her life, there is only the third sister today, E-Niang doesn't bother to speak, if there is such a thing, you have to smile and greet each other, so she directly said to the people's teeth: "Introduce yourself one by one, whose surname is who, what will you do when you are old, you can read and write, and say them one by one."

I only heard: "The slave maid is called Hongri, seven years old this year, and the slave and maid who can do needlework are called He Yue, eleven years old this year, because of the defeat of the family, but the slave and maid who know how to read and write, Yinghong, who is seven years old this year, knows a few words." I saw that the second sister's eyes lit up when she heard that He Yue's introduction. I don't know what moth I want to get.

After all the introductions, E-Niang walked to the maids and pointed out a few unwanted, I noticed that these few were either flashing when they spoke, or they were too timid, and I admired E-Niang even more in my heart.

E-Niang said to the second sister: "Your E-Niang is not here, it's not good for me, who is a nest, to ignore you, you should choose first, and then I will bully you when the time comes." After saying the unceremonious words, the second sister's face was red and white, and she held back her hatred and said, "Thank you Wok." He mercilessly selected the two most outstanding candidates, and that He Yue was really selected.

I saw that the third sister glared at her, and I thought that the third sister also took a fancy to that He Yue. I just shook my head, then He Yue obviously used to be a daughter of a good family, and her heart was naturally high, such a maid has such a high temperament and appearance, it is also possible to be said to be the master, the second sister is about to get married, wouldn't it be a disaster for herself to keep such a girl. Later, this girl was indeed the same, not to mention climbing the bed, and adding a blockage for a while, but this is all a later story.

I looked forward and chose four girls, each of whom will have different things, and looked at Eniang, Eniang smiled and was very satisfied. The choice of maids is also particular, most of the maids will do some needlework, there are not many who can cook, and there are very few literate ones, the maids are too beautiful to compete with the master, and the general master does not want such a maid, but the choice is too ugly The master is not good-looking when he goes out, but he falls into a narrow-minded name. And the few I chose are not good for long-term nutrition, but they are also beautiful, and they have their own swings, and they are only seven or eight years old, and they will not be bad when they grow up. If you can't read or write, you can always do nothing, but you can still learn it at a young age.

After I choose it, the third sister and the fourth sister will choose, the third sister is dissatisfied because of the identity and dare not say, pick and choose this is not good, that is worse, for a while the younger girl was scared to cry. The fourth sister is about the same age as me, so I begged Eniang to help her choose, the fourth sister has a pink face like a little Lori, and there is a small dimple when she laughs, and she is cute in an instant. E-Niang also said lovingly: "Zhi'er girl, E-Niang will help you choose a good person, and you have to name it yourself." The fourth sister was so embarrassed, E-Niang said with a smile: "You Ama has found a female master, and you will start to study at the master's place in two days" Saying that, she touched the hair of the two of us again: "This hair has not been cut for a long time by Yao'er, and now the eldest girl can't twist this hair, Ming'er, you two will go with me to buy some headdresses, and it is time to dress up."

He said to the third sister again: "Ming'er, you are also together, choose some you like and use them as the dowry given to you by your mother."

When my sister married into the palace, she didn't say that she had red makeup, and there were several boxes of gold and silver jewelry that Eniang had saved over the years, not to mention the palace. Although the old lady said that the eldest sister was raised in order to curb the mother, the old lady of her granddaughter was also really in love, and the dowry left to the eldest sister was incomparable to the granddaughters under us. So come to the eyes of others. Eniang's words also blocked the mouths of others, how many ladies can make a dowry for the daughter of the concubine, most of them are in the house, and I want to ask your own aunt to go, who made you not climb out of your wife's belly.

Looking at the selected few maids, there are organic and calm, most of them are still children, knowing that the smile on their faces after being selected can't be hidden, I gave Ke'er a look, Ke'er will say: "Since you are all chosen by the master, the master will not treat you badly, but if you are found that little hoof, tricky and lazy, ungrateful, don't care about my welcome, let the tooth woman take it away and sell, don't blame the master for not being emotional." The words frightened the maids' faces white.

I smiled and said, "If you do your job honestly and don't do that hurtful thing, I won't treat you badly, girl, where are there still some people, and tell me one by one."

"The slave is an orphan and there is no one at home", "The slave and the maid have no one at home, and they have been trained to be maids since they can remember", "The slave and maid are from Beijing, and there are mothers, younger brothers and fathers at home.

"Oh, how old is your brother," I asked.

"My brother is four years old this year, and my mother does needlework on weekdays and sells it to support the family, if it is not enough to save my father, these silver taels are not enough, so the slave thinks that I can save my father by being a maid" The maid said pitifully.

"In this case, Ke'er, you tell me about this, isn't there a lack of embroidery in a shop at home, since this sister came to our house, it is better to take care of one or two" After I finished speaking, I saw this maid hurriedly kneeling and crying with joy: "Thank you girl, thank you girl, slave maid is a cow and a horse to repay the girl's kindness."

I smiled and said, "You don't have to thank me, you can't be my maid now, and you can't open the pot at home, isn't this my heart cold, I will be on an errand in the future, and you will be called Shiyun in the future."

"From now on, you will learn the rules with Sister Kerr, give full play to your strengths, and figure out whether you are suitable for cooking or needlework or something else," I advised.

Later, the names of the other three maids were poets, poems, paintings, poems, and cigarettes. In the days to come, Shiyun's father became a steward after his condition improved, and Shiyun was also an indispensable help for me. But now it starts from a second-class maid, and it is trained by Ke'er.

Then I said to Ke'er: "Let's see which of the second-class maids are suitable, transfer a few, I remember that there is a person named Tsing Yi in the small kitchen, who has good cooking skills, transfer her over." Although Ke'er is good, she can't let her grow bigger, in case she has any thoughts that she shouldn't have, isn't it my sin, and Eniang's mention is not unreasonable.
