Chapter Twenty-Four: Shock
"Mrs. Li, is what my granddaughter said right?" The old lady glanced at her granddaughters, and looked at Mrs. Li who was standing on the side with a light smile.
Mrs. Li's eyes widened, with a surprised expression, and when she heard the old lady's inquiry, she slapped her face and smiled: "God, this eldest lady is too powerful, what she said is really accurate." Among this group of girls, the eldest girl and Sun Qian are the most honest and have no lack of hearts, and no one dares to bully them. This Sanniang is indeed a young lady who has committed an official, and there is nothing wrong with her at all. ā
Jia Xuan looked at Mingzhu, a sense of admiration and crisis rose in her heart, her head was more sober, it seemed that she still had a lot to learn, she was in her twenties and had a bright eye and heart from a little girl of four or five years old, and she almost picked a bane and went home.
It seems that she will have to be more cautious in her words and deeds in the future, the ancients are not as stupid as she thinks, but they frequently make mistakes.
"Well, Jiaxuan should also choose, don't choose the wrong one, your sister has given you a demonstration, I will punish you for choosing the wrong one." The old lady treats her granddaughters fairly, especially in terms of rewards and upbringing.
"Yes." Jia Xuan bowed slightly, took a deep breath and stepped forward.
She looked around the girls and asked, "If you serve me and I don't listen to persuasion, what should you do as maids?" Those who know raise their hands and say. ā
Everyone looked at each other, and then some of the bold ones raised their hands first and spoke, "I think we should find the wives first, or the nurse or the big girl in front of the wife, the ladies are expensive, what if something happens?" ā
"I think I should talk to my grandmother, I persuaded me first, I couldn't help but think of other ways to divert my attention, but I really can't tell my sisters or nurses."
There are three or five of them, but in fact, the answers are all the same, a bit of a drift.
Only one girl thought for a while and said: "If it were me, I would take a toy to play with the girl, or mention yƬ to play with my sisters, if it doesn't work, I will take Mama's rules and say things, and if the rules are not good, I will be punished, and it is estimated that the girl will be a little scared, if it still doesn't work, I will report to Mama." ā
"Well, what's your name? How do you know a mama who has a good manners? Jia Xuan is keenly aware that this girl is not the same as others.
"The slave maid used to be the girl of a big family, but she was also a slave, but the old lady was the little girl in the grandmother's house, because her granddaughter broke an antique from the previous dynasty and was afraid of being punished, so she pushed it on me and another girl, and the mother was very angry and sold us, so the slave and the maid used to be regarded as a servant, and the girl who was sold with me, we were beaten, and she didn't survive and died." The girl's face sank a little sadly.
Jia Xuan's heart was a little different, turned her head to look at Mingzhu, Mingzhu glanced at her, nodded slightly, and agreed, Jiaxuan looked very happy, showing a smile, this was chosen by herself, Mingzhu also said that it was good, that is, she admitted that her vision was okay.
"Then you stay, you still have that one to stay." What Jia Xuan values is all picked out by Mingzhu just now, and she looks very honest and responsible.
"Well, it's not bad. The rest of the eldest daughter-in-law, you are picking a few for Mingya and Jia Zhen to keep. The old lady nodded slightly.
"Yes. The daughter-in-law knows. Yongtai nodded respectfully.
Ming Ya and Jia Zhen are still a little more than three years old, so they will naturally choose with the help of their elders.
The girls were taken down to take a bath and comb their hair, because those who fled will inevitably have lice or something unclean, wash and shave their hair, and let the doctors in the house check the pulse one by one to see if there is any infectious disease or something, and make sure that there is no problem to stay, after signing the death deed, you have to follow the rules of the grandmother in the house, and you can come up to serve the ladies after at least three months.
"Sister, is the person I just chose good?" Jia Xuan ran over with a smile and leaned in front of Mingzhu.
"It's good to see how you use it, let's observe it first, this person is a good servant, it's inevitable that it's more slippery than other girls, you have to make the big girl a little stricter, if you can subdue her, it's also a help. Generally speaking, we don't choose such official slaves who are sold again, because the things in the house are too fine, and there will inevitably be disasters when the door is clear, so we choose more white girls to stay. Mingzhu carefully analyzed with her why she didn't want her.
"I see, don't we have old slaves in our family?" Jia Xuan was thoughtful, Mingzhu didn't say that she really didn't understand.
"Therefore, the general grace is released by the family, and the prevention is that the minions have accumulated in the house over the years, and they are getting bigger and bigger, and they are deceived and concealed." Mingzhu whispered.
"Granny Li, I'm bothering you this time, Yinzhu will go down and give a reward." The eldest lady smiled and socialized with Granny Li.
"Mrs. is polite, even if you have something to do, even if you send someone to only say to me, what kind of person I am hiding from you." Granny Li can be regarded as having a conscience and a bottom line.
It's the people who keep the official records, and they won't buy people to dirty places, and some poor families really have no way out, and most of them will go to her to sell their children, just hoping to let their children go to a clean place. Therefore, her reputation is still very good in Sili Baxiang.
"I know, our family has always been looking for you to buy people, and I haven't missed it. Silver beads, take two good materials for your mother-in-law to take back, your daughter is also older, it is also good to take it back to make clothes, put some of the snacks back, let the child have a sweet mouth. The eldest lady smiled and picked up the tea bowl.
"Mrs. Xie rewarded, then my wife will lick her face and accept it, you have no other orders for me to retire first." Granny Li was very discerning, and immediately bowed and retired.
"Sister, do you know a lot, are they all taught by the Queen Mother?" Jia Xuan felt that Mingzhu didn't look like a four-year-old child, it was too rebellious, and she made herself feel like she was in arrears of IQ.
"It's all the Queen Mother's Mama Li who often tells me something, and I just learn more and see more, my eyes are bright and my heart is bright, and I slowly understand, if I don't understand, I will ask Mama Li, and she will tell me very thoroughly." Mingzhu's big black eyes swirled around Jia Xuan, and she smiled kindly.
"Today's Jiaxuan is good, and the people you choose can also be, but you can't choose such a slave who has served people like this in the future, you are too young, and you can't handle such a slave in general, but it is easy to be handled by a slave." The eldest lady also has to teach Jiaxuan, she is her mother-in-law, and Jiaxuan's mother-in-law will be blamed if she has problems with her upbringing.
"Yes, my daughter remembered, and my daughter just thought she was smarter than everyone else, and she also thought she was quite pitiful. I saw that my sister nodded before I dared to ask for it, and if my sister shook her head, I wouldn't want it. After these few days of observation and temptation, Jia Xuan didn't dare to shake her wit, and she was really more favorable.
"Well, your sister is not all right, I also saw that girl, Mingzhu hopes that she can rely on you tightly and give you a boost, after all, he has no foundation in the house, and if he wants to live well, he has to be loyal to you, but you have to stand up, you can't all be as big as Peach, that is your incompetence as the master." The eldest lady took a sip of tea, and her eyes were majestic and clear.
Jia Xuan was startled, her heart was beating wildly, and she was glad that she didn't mess around, it seems that she was right to listen to Mingzhu's words, she must have done something wrong, otherwise the eldest lady would not be unable to tolerate herself, in the end, she is a girl and not a boy, there is no threat.
