The spring sun is shining, it is really a rare good weather, the autumn word stretched lazily, moved a low stool with a book, and sat under the shade of the tree to bask in the sun.

Qinglan and Ping'er moved a small table next to her, made a pot of tea, and let her get it at hand, while they took some needlework and embroidered on the side.

The three masters and servants talked and laughed, and the scene was very harmonious.

When Pearl came in with someone, she saw such a scene.

Seeing the pearl, Qiu Ci was a little surprised.

"Third Miss." Pearl bowed slightly, "This is the maid sent today, the old lady asked the third lady to see which ones are suitable." ”

She was followed by a dozen little girls, all of whom looked around curiously, and when they saw Qiu Ci looking at them, they lowered their heads and looked at their toes in a little panic.

Qinglan hurriedly put down the embroidery work in her hand and greeted her, "Why bother Sister Pearl to send someone over, let someone say, I brought people in the past." ”

Pearl is the most eye-catching big girl in front of the old lady, even Aunt Liu has to avoid three points when she sees her, and let her do this, which is really a bit overkill.

Pearl smiled slightly, "I'm also idle, thinking about moving around more." As she spoke, she saw Qiu Ci's eyes looking at her, and nodded kindly at Qiu Ci.

Qinglan also smiled, "The weather is really good today, it's good to walk around more." ”

Pearl nodded secretly in her heart, Qinglan, this maid is indeed sensible, although she is young, she is calm, not like an ordinary little girl.

At this time, Qiu Ci had already walked over, she bent her knees slightly, and sincerely thanked the pearl, "Thank you." ”

She didn't just mean that when she said thank you.

Before in Zhaoxian Pavilion, Pearl spoke for her and made her improve her food; Yan'er's matter, if it weren't for Pearl talking to the old lady, the Liu family would not have been able to do it so smoothly; And now, Pearl personally brought the maid to let her choose, which affirmed her status and let everyone in the house see clearly the importance that the old lady attaches to her.

If an ordinary mother-in-law brings someone over, it is not difficult to imagine the attitude of the people in the house towards Qiu Ci, but this person is a pearl, so it will be different.

Qiu Ci is not a person who doesn't know what to do, and if others treat her well, she naturally has to remember.

In her previous life, she received too little warmth, and the people around her approached others with various purposes, and in the killer organization, it was even more cold and terrifying, not to mention the slightest warmth.

Pearl was taken aback, and hurriedly helped Qiu Ci, "Third Miss, Third Miss, you are really a bad servant, the slave can't afford your thanks." ”

Qiu Ci's movements are actually very light, she is not as tall as Pearl, and she and Pearl are staggered, so it is difficult for others to see her movements.

But Pearl saw it and understood it.

It seems that the third lady knows it clearly in her heart.

Qiu Ci stood up, a hint of firmness appeared in her eyes as bright as stars, and she smiled at the pearl, "You can afford it." ”

She was not a person of her time, and she was not accustomed to saluting people, but Pearl was the first person she sincerely wanted to thank, and just bending her knees was nothing to her.

Pearl looked at Qiu Ci, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes.

This complicated look couldn't hide the autumn words that had been paying attention to her.

But Pearl soon recovered, smiling gracefully.

"Third Miss, these little girls were all sent by the mother-in-law today, you can pick and choose." She said.

Qiu Ci's eyes swept over the bodies of the dozen or so little girls.

The little girls all lowered their heads and looked at their toes, and some of them were bold enough to glance at Qiu Ci quietly, and then hurriedly lowered their heads.

Qiu Ci glanced around, and there was a plan in his heart.

She asked Pearl, "How many maids can I keep here?" ”

"The third lady can keep two first-class maids, four second-class maids, and six third-class maids." Pearl said, and when she was done, she added, "This is the case of the courtyards of the Hou Mansion now. ”

Qiu Ci couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

In other words, He Qiuxue and He Qiutong's yards are distributed according to this sub-example, and these numbers do not include the girls who do chores.

But there are only two maids in Ding Xie Pavilion.

It's still a concubine, she really has no status.

Fortunately, Qiu Ci didn't need so many people to serve her at all, these people, she just wanted to pick three or two more.

She looked at the row of little girls standing in front of her, and suddenly pointed to the tallest and largest tree in the yard and said, "Whoever of you climbs high, I will leave him." ”

The largest tree in the Ding Xie Pavilion is a ginkgo, this ginkgo has been planted for I don't know how many years, the body of the tree is the size of three people hugging, the upper body is divided into several branches, extending thick branches in all directions.

At first glance, the branches and foliage of the ginkgo tree soar into the sky.

Qiu Ci was very fond of this ginkgo, and she often flew up to the branches of the tree at night, and looked at this dynasty that she was not familiar with again and again.

Pearl was surprised, "Let them climb the tree?" ”

She had never heard of a young lady choosing a maid based on climbing trees.

Qinglan and Ping'er didn't know what their master's idea was, so they glanced at each other uncertainly.

Qiu Ci said with a smile, "I want some nimble maids, if they can climb high, they must be dexterous enough." ”

Pearl nodded, reluctantly accepting her explanation, thinking about how to talk to the old lady later.

The little girls saw Qiu Ci speak, and looked at each other at first.

Before they came, they had undergone some training, and they had the most basic common sense on how to talk to the master, how to walk, how to behave well, etc., but the master asked them to climb trees?

Is this what everyone looks like?

You don't think that's what you said?

Although the girls didn't know what Qiu Zi thought, they still gritted their teeth and climbed the ginkgo.

The highest climbed was a girl with five big and three thick, she climbed to the top of the ginkgo tree, and waved her hands desperately on it happily, "Miss, Miss, I climb the highest, I climb the highest!" ”

She was so happy, before she came, she said that she was too stout, and the ordinary ladies looked down on her, and it was normal for her to be eliminated and go back, so she was very sad for a while.

I didn't expect this young lady to be different and let them climb trees!

Her favorite thing to do since she was a kid was climbing trees!

Seeing that she had climbed so high, she excitedly shook the ginkgo tree so loudly that some of the leaves fell down one after another.

There were a few half-crawling girls at the bottom who turned pale with fright, "Don't shake it anymore!" ”

Qiu Ci looked at the girl who climbed high, and was very satisfied.

This girl is a martial arts material, and she needs such a person by her side.

"Come down." Qiu Ji smiled and nodded at her.

The girl rolled down with a "snort" and looked at Qiu Ci with a smile.
