Chapter 37: The Invitation of the Hou Mansion
The two pairs of twins looked at Qingqing and hesitated, one of them suddenly stepped forward and knelt on the ground to hug Qingqing's thigh, and cried, "Miss, you are a kind person, buy us, my sister and I will be very diligent, I will wash clothes and cook." ”
The other also reacted, holding Qingqing's legs and begging, Mrs. Ren also sighed, Qingqing asked a little helplessly, "How much do these two girls cost?" "One person has five taels, two tens, and I'm afraid that eight taels is also willing."
Mrs. Ren heard the loosening of Qingqing's words and hurriedly said, "Their stepmother has a new brother, and this year's year is not good, so they want to sell these two girls, but their father also has a conscience, and I scared them again, so it's so cheap." ”
"Sister Qingqing, let's raise two more people." Lin Yu looked at it for a while before he said with a smile, "But our family is not a big family, and the amount of food and drink is ordinary." ”
"Don't kowtow to the two young ladies yet." Mrs. Ren also breathed a sigh of relief, and saw the two girls kowtow to Lin Yu and Qingqing, and stood aside.
Qingqing picked the Yahuan, and the two whole stoves had already made the meal, Lin Yu tasted both servings, pointed to one and asked, "Who made this?" ”
A woman of about twenty-seven or eighteen years old stood up, she was dressed in a dark blue cotton coat and combed in a simple bun, although plain, but she looked quite neat. "It's made by the little one, the little Sun, and the deceased husband's surname is Zhang."
Lin Yu looked at her fingernails, they were trimmed very short and clean, and her finger joints were thick, she was indeed a person who did hard work. Qingqing also came down to take a look, asked her a few words, nodded and said, "It's just her, how much does it cost to sell her body silver." ”
I didn't want the woman to kneel, "The slave has a daughter, and I asked the young lady to buy it together, and the small one must not accept the separation of mother and daughter." ”
"Daughter?" Lin Yu looked at her, there was a little girl over there who had knelt down silently, the one who looked at the eight or nine-year-old little girl, thin, but her eyes were very bright. Because she had told Mrs. Ren before that as long as she could do work, Lin Yu had wondered how there was an eight- or nine-year-old girl, no wonder Mrs. Ren would bring such a young girl.
But looking at the other Quanzao with red nails, Lin Yu really didn't want to recruit that person, but Qingqing still had to help him make up his mind about this matter. Not to mention anything else, she doesn't know what kind of person should be worth silver. She doesn't mind giving love, but this is someone who wants to live together for a long time, so it's better to let Qingqing check it.
"How much money are you worth? What about your daughter's? Qingqing's face didn't change much and asked.
"Twelve taels of silver for the little one, and three taels for the youngest daughter are enough." Sun heard Qingqing speak, and hurriedly said.
"Okay, let's stay for now." Qingqing was relieved, "Just work hard in the future." But you also have to know that we are not a big family. ”
"Thank you, two young ladies, for your kindness." The Sun family also knew the rules of the way, and kowtowed.
By the afternoon, Qingqing had a total of eight people left, Sun and her daughter, the pair of very beautiful twins, a very beautiful girl who was good at needlework, and three girls who did rough work. The eight people spent a total of forty-two taels of silver, plus one tael of money for Ren Yapo, a total of forty-three taels.
In fact, Qingqing is not very satisfied with this staffing, among the eight people, Sun's daughter basically can't do anything, although the twins are actually twelve years old, but because of malnutrition, they look like they are more than ten years old and eleven years old. And you also need the porter, the carman, etc., it is best to buy another family, but look at Lin Yu's excellent appearance around him, and then look at the beautiful twins, they are not reliable people, Qingqing is really not at ease. Now the concierge has to arrange for those rough girls to take turns, and the coachman's words Qingqing remembered the girl ring next to the Hongluan girl she met before, and it seems that she can also find a female coachman?
However, no matter what, there is no need for Lin Yu to cook on the fire in a fox fur, and the snow in the garden is also swept away, and Qingqing breathes a sigh of relief. It is her specialty to train and select Yahuan, and it was for this reason that Mrs. Lin transferred her to Lin Yu's side to help Lin Yu gain a foothold outside. Qingqing gave a lesson to all the subordinates before starting to assign work. Sun is naturally a cook, and her daughter is still young, so she doesn't arrange errands, and follows the one named Pearl to learn some needlework. A few rough girls are responsible for sprinkling, sweeping, chopping wood, tidying up and other chores. Pearl is mainly responsible for Lin Yu's grooming and needlework, but the twins make Qingqing a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, he and Lin Yu stayed by their side, and first learned to do some chores and errands. After allocating errands, it is to allocate housing, and there are many empty houses, but it is easy to do, one room for two people, four rooms are enough.
"What's your name?" Lin Yu was quite bored at this time, and ran to the twins and asked. Lin Yu is not much older than the twins, and she left the two of them behind, the twins are not as afraid of her as they are of Qingqing, at this time the sister of the sisters replied with big eyes, "My name is Da Niu, and my sister's name is Er Niu." ”
What kind of name is this, Lin Yu couldn't help but vomit, but if she was reborn as the heroine of Tantianwen, it seems that she should have such a name, otherwise it would be something like a flower and a cuihua. Qingqing looked at the two little girls, smiled too, and walked over, "If you don't think it sounds good, change their names." ”
Lin Yu is an incompetent star, looking up at the sky where snow is still falling, and then at the garden, "My sister's name is Xuelan, and my sister's name is Xuemei, how about it?" ”
"It's better than a big girl and a second girl." Qingqing smiled, "Why don't you miss Xie Lu Xie soon?" ”
The two girls are not small, and they think they are very good, and they sincerely thank Lin Yu, and then follow Qingqing to see the house they live in the future. In the afternoon, the errand boy of the silk village sent the silk that had been set before. Qingqing also called the people in the ready-to-wear shop to order two winter clothes for each girl, both of which were dark blue cotton jackets, which were not very good-looking, but the materials were real. Lin Yu set two extra thicker bodies for himself, so as not to make a joke about wearing a fox fur to cook on a fire.
Lin Yu soon discovered that Qingqing was really a senior management talent, and her strength was that she could quickly find a suitable main line in a chaotic situation. Lin Yu found that he had nothing to do the next day, and on the fifth day, even the clumsiest girl could do things in an orderly manner, and Lin Yu didn't have to worry about it at all. At this time, Qingqing had already gone into the perfume room specially arranged for her to concoct her flowers and plants, and after Lin Yu looked at it for a day, he found that he seemed to be only interested in the finished spices, and was very uninterested in the process. As a result, the past few days have been boring, not to mention how boring.
Probably God also thought that Lin Yu was too boring, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he found something for Lin Yu to do. Lin Yu received an invitation, receiving an invitation is nothing, the problem is that this invitation is an invitation to the wedding of the infatuated Marquis Lu and Zhang Wan'er.
"Is that weird? It's raining all day, or are their heads broken? Lin Yu pinched the wedding invitation on a red background and gold, not to mention how weird it felt.
Lin Yu was puzzled, and Qingqing was also blown out of the perfume room by this invitation, and the two of them were puzzled around the invitation on the table.
"Aren't they afraid that I'll make a big deal about their wedding?" Lin Yu still couldn't help but say.
