Just when Dalong and Liu Xuan were chatting, Qiu Ju and Dongmei arrived, and the two of them saluted Liu Xuanfu: "Miss." ”

Liu Xuan waved her hand and said to the two: "The people brought by Ya Po are here, you two can watch and pick." ”

Qiu Ju and Dongmei answered yes, and then looked left and right at the people brought by Yapo. The two of them have a tacit understanding and a very clear division of labor, Qiu Ju looks at the maid, and Dongmei looks at the mother-in-law.

The two of them looked at the maids one by one, and then Qiu Ju walked up to a maid: "Raise your head." ”

The maid raised her head when she heard the sound, Liu Xuan glanced at it quietly, and secretly admired Qiu Ju's ability to recognize people, this maid's appearance did not have any eye-catching, people looked at neither too clever nor honest, her fingers were slightly thick, it can be seen that she often does some work, a maid who is not wooden has been working for a long time, which can only show that this person is not scheming and is a duty.

Qiu Ju looked at the maid and asked, "What is your name and why are you here on an errand?" ”

The maid lowered her head and said: "The slave maid's name is Qingya, she was originally the maid of Qian Hanlin's second son, and after the second son got married, the master mother also brought many maids and servants, and there were more maids in the courtyard and the slave maid was sent out of the house." ”

It is common for the housemother to send the maids beside her husband after she gets married, Qiu Ju nodded and didn't ask again, turned around and walked towards another maid, and after asking three maids one after another, she saluted Liu Xuan: "Miss thinks these people can get into?" ”

The people selected by Qiu Ju are all honest but not wooden, Liu Xuan has been very relieved of Qiu Ju's ability since she saw Qingya. He nodded immediately: "You are in charge." ”

Qiu Ju thanked Liu Xuan, turned to those people, and said, "The four people I asked just now stayed." Others can be withdrawn. ”

The four selected people stayed, and the maids who were not selected showed disappointment. They saw that Liu Xuan actually let the maid be the main candidate, and they knew that Liu Xuan was a good person, and they all looked forward to staying in their hearts, but now the disappointment of losing the election couldn't help but be revealed.

The maids who were not selected withdrew from the courtyard and waited outside the courtyard, Dongmei stepped forward to provoke her mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law she picked looked at them all in good health, although they were strong but they were also honest, and there was no horizontal or flattering person, after asking Liu Xuan's opinion. Dongmei picked four mothers-in-law and stayed.

Liu Xuan took out a silver ticket from her sleeve and handed it to Qiu Ju, asking her to send Ya Po.

Her money is in the bag that Qian Tong brought her, she understands that Qian Tong was suddenly taken away, he will definitely bring his bag, he was so anxious to see Qian Tong before, one is not seen for a long time, and the second is for this bag.

When she didn't want Deng Yu to pay the monthly money of those little servants for her, she had already made a plan. It's just that she also understands that she won't give the money for this house. If she gave it to herself, she would really be stretched, not to mention that she still wanted to do something, but she couldn't do it without money.

Anyway, she owes Deng Yu a habit, and besides, he is her backing. Since it is the backing, she and him are not polite.

Qiu Ju sent Ya Po out of the house, and Dalong also left.

Qiu Ju handed over the deed of sale of the newly bought maid to Liu Xuan, and then took the rest of the silver and handed it to her.

Liu Xuan only accepted the deed of sale but did not accept the money, but took out a silver ticket of one thousand taels from his sleeve and handed it to Qiu Ju: "I also see your skills." Don't say it's my small house, it's the mansion of a big family, and it's more than enough for you to take charge of the middle feed. And they shall be given to the two of you for the expenses of the house, and if they are not enough, they will come to me and ask for it." ”

Qiu Ju and Dong Mei originally saw that Liu Xuan didn't like trivial matters in the house. Only then did he take the initiative to ask Ying to help take care of it, but he never thought that Liu Xuan would believe in them so much, and directly handed over the feed, and the two of them saluted Liu Xuan gratefully: "My sisters will definitely live up to Miss's trust." ”

Liu Xuan nodded and accepted the allegiance of the two, and asked the two to summon the servants in the house together, and she wanted to give a lecture.

Not long after, Qiu Ju and Dongmei called all the servants in the house, together with the maid and woman they bought today, to the courtyard, and Qian Tong was also called together, and was standing behind Liu Xuan with Qiu Ju and Dongmei.

Liu Xuan sat on the stool in the courtyard, looked at the people standing on the ground and coughed lightly: "You are all old people who have worked as errands in Beppu, you should already know what to do and what not to do, and I am the only master in the house, and I have no other rules in this house, just do your duty." ”

After listening to Liu Xuan's words, all the servants responded in unison, Liu Xuan nodded and called Qian Tong to step forward: "This is the housekeeper in the house, surnamed Qian Mingtong, although I don't care about the affairs of the inner court, but the number of courtesies you should have must not be less." ”

Qian Tong was grateful, this was Liu Xuan standing up for him.

Everyone saluted Qian Tong and said in unison: "I've seen Qian Steward." ”

Qian Tong summoned everyone to get up and said loudly: "I am working for the young lady like all of you, although I don't care much about the affairs of the inner court, but if someone misbehaves and reaches my ears, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

Everyone hurriedly responded, and Liu Xuan called Qiu Ju and Dong Mei to come forward and say to everyone: "These two people are my personal maids Qiu Ju and Dong Mei, and the affairs of the inner house will be taken care of by the two of them for the time being, if you don't understand anything, or if you have any disputes, just ask her and the two to solve them." ”

After Liu Xuan and the others saw Qiu Ju and Dongmei, they called Qiu Ju to take the roster in the house and handed it to Qiu Ju and Dongmei in front of everyone, which was regarded as officially handing over the middle feed in the house to the two.

Since then, she has been properly settled in the capital.

She had just arrived in the capital and had a lot of things to procure, so she said that the clothes of the maids and servants in the house also had to be purchased, and now it was almost winter, and her own winter clothes had not yet been purchased, but these were not in a hurry, and it was not too late to come and think about it after everything in the house was in order.

Qiu Ju and Dong Mei just took over the middle feed in the house, there are many things that need to be taken care of, such as everyone's monthly share, arranging errands, etc., the two of them hurriedly brought the errand to the backyard of the account office, Liu Xuan watched from the sidelines and gave the two of them some tips from time to time, she is not bad at managing the inner house and the feed, but she just doesn't like it, although Qiu Ju and Dongmei are capable, some details are still a little insufficient.

Qiu Ju and Dongmei got Liu Xuan's guidance, and they dealt with things much faster, and the two of them were very busy, so they handed over the task of serving Liu Xuan to Qingya, Qingya was an honest one, poured a cup of tea for the three of them, and then stood aside and stared at the initiator.

Liu Xuan looked at Qingya's actions in her eyes, and secretly thought in her heart that Qingya was such a character, no wonder the housemother sent her away when she entered the room, she said that if she heard well, she was decent and honest, and if she didn't listen to it, she would stay out of the matter and eat, this Qingya had never been the head of any mansion, it was just an errand for her.

Liu Xuan can't talk about whether she likes or dislikes such green sprouts, she just entered the mansion today, and she needs to be observed for two days.

Liu Xuan looked at Qiu Ju and Dongmei discussing the monthly rules of the maids and servants, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious, she also had ten thousand taels of silver on her, and she had to think of a way to make a living.

Thinking like this, she asked Qingya to summon Qian Tong, and when Qian Tong entered the house, Liu Xuan said: "You go and ask Xiao Gong, if you are free tomorrow, I want to visit." ”

Qian Tong was overjoyed: "Miss, but you have a consideration in mind?" ”

Liu Xuan nodded: "Although I have some ideas, I still need to meet Xiao Gong before making a decision." ”

Qian Tong nodded yes, and then went out to look for Xiao Gong, and after about an hour, Qian Tong came back and said: "Xiao Gong said that he will come to see Miss tomorrow." ”

Liu Xuan shook her head: "No, Xiao Gong is older than me, how can I let him come to the door in person, I should be the younger generation to visit, not to mention that we have a request for Xiao Gong, and I will visit when I am affectionate and reasonable." ”

Qian Tong naturally understood this truth, and he said to Liu Xuan: "I also said the same thing to Xiao Gong, but he insisted on visiting Miss in person." ”

Liu Xuan had no choice but to nod when she heard this: "Well, since Gong Xiao insists that I will greet him in front of the mansion tomorrow." ”

On the second day, Xiao Gong came as promised, and heard that Xiao Gong was about to arrive at the door, Liu Xuan hurriedly took Qiu Ju, Dongmei and Qian Tong to greet outside the mansion, Xiao Gong obviously didn't expect Liu Xuan to value him so much, and greeted him outside the mansion.

Liu Xuan looked at the thin old man who flashed in front of him and was slightly stunned, and when he saw him saluting, he reacted and hurriedly blessed himself: "Presumably you are Xiao Gong, Xuan should have come to visit, but I was really ashamed to bother Xiao Gong to come." ”

Xiao Gong hurriedly helped Liu Xuan, saw Liu Xuan get up and looked at her carefully, and then said: "After hearing the name of Miss Liu two months ago, the old man has been looking forward to seeing the girl, and now he finally sees it. ”

When Xiao Gong looked at Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan was also looking at him, with a thin appearance with a small goatee, his eyes were obviously shrewd, and he was followed by a servant holding a wooden box in his hand, I heard that Xiao Gong knew about himself two months ago, presumably Li Che mentioned it when he returned to Beijing, but I don't know what this Xiao Gong is looking forward to when he comes.

Liu Xuan smiled and led Xiao Gong to the house: "It is really a blessing for Xuan to be able to see Xiao Gong, Xuan has many things to do in the capital and hopes that Xiao Gong will mention something, and Xiao Gong will also ask him to speak inside." ”

Xiao Gong said: "Don't dare to be." While following Liu Xuan into the house.

Liu Xuan led Xiao Gong into the front hall of the house, arranged for Xiao Gong to sit down, and sat down at the head of Xiao Gong, Dongmei served tea to Xiao Gong and Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan smiled and said to Xiao Gong: "Xuan's housekeeper Qian Tong, these days have bothered Xiao Gong." ”

Qian Tong stepped forward at this time and bowed to Xiao Gong.

Xiao Gong touched the mustache of the three sheep and squinted his eyes with a smile: "The girl is serious, this Qian Tong is a clever and talented person for business, and the old man only takes it with him to watch, and what he learns is his own ability." (To be continued......)
