Chapter 42 New Population
The Chinese understood what Mrs. Zhao meant, but in front of Mrs. Zhao, he didn't say anything to An Lan, so he just blindly squeezed his eyebrows at An Lan. An Lan was even more confused at this time, she had no choice but to look at Mrs. Zhao, but her big eyes were full of confusion. Mrs. Zhao was shocked when she saw An Lan's appearance, this girl's eyes were really shining, not beautiful, Mrs. Zhao's eyes were full of amazement.
"Aunt Zhao, do you really have no subordinates here that I just mentioned?" An Lan looked at Mrs. Zhao and said.
As soon as An Lan said this, Mrs. Zhao came to her senses, and said with a confident smile on her face,
"It's not the old woman, I'm boasting・・・・・・ so! I have all kinds of subordinates here, and Miss An can choose with confidence. After Mrs. Zhao finished speaking, she patted her chest and promised, as if she was afraid that An Lan would not believe it.
An Lan resisted the urge to run away, this Mrs. Zhao is telling the truth too much, isn't it just a sentence that can be said clearly? Isn't it just that you're a good subordinate here? I have to say a lot of things as a foreshadowing, really. An Lan decided to buy more subordinates, so as not to suffer from the poison of Mrs. Zhao's words in the future, and made up her mind, An Lan slowly spoke,
"Aunt Zhao, since you have a good subordinate here, I decided to buy more, do you think there is any suitable recommendation?"
Mrs. Zhao was overjoyed when she heard An Lan's words, and she thought that she had moved this little girl with her three-inch tongue, and her heart was like eating honey, and she praised her subordinates even harder for how good they were, and the little girl listened to her Mrs. Zhao's words like yes.
Mrs. Zhao saw that the smile on An Lan's face was a little reluctant, and she realized that she seemed to have gone too far. There's no way, whoever said that the people he used to contact were the housekeepers of big families, and he was used to gossiping with them, and he couldn't change it for a while. Oh no, this is the little girl, how confused she is, I hope I can remedy it. Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao said to An Lan with a smile on her face and a kind tone: "Look at my old goods, seeing such a fairy-like person, I can't be idle, I really should fight." After saying that, he really greeted his face.
Xiao Xiang, who was standing quietly on the side, was stunned, what's wrong with this Mrs. Zhao, why does it seem to be a little different to this girl? But she really can't say what the difference is, if she doesn't find a way to let this girl accept herself, she really can't stand this Zhao Pozi. Phew! An old witch still asks us to call her Madame, and she doesn't look like herself, an old witch・・・・・・
An Lan was not surprised to see Mrs. Zhao like this, there was no way, she had seen this kind of thing on TV a lot, and she was no longer surprised.
The middle man was so surprised that he forgot what he wanted to say, and just looked at Mrs. Zhao with a dull look. I must have read this wrong, what's going on? This is definitely not Mrs. Zhao, definitely not.
An Lan saw that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and hurriedly said,
"Aunt Zhao, if you had called someone to take a look at what you said very well, I would have forgiven you generously!" An Lan waved her hand and said proudly.
"Yes, yes, Miss Ann is right." When Mrs. Zhao heard An Lan say this, she went down the steps that An Lan had built for her. She swept her eyes and saw Xiao Xiang in the corner, and immediately said to Xiao Xiang unceremoniously,
"Xiaoxiang, I didn't hear what Miss An said! Why don't you go and call them out and let Miss Ann choose. ”
An Lan looked at Mrs. Zhao as a matter of course, and then looked at Xiao Xiang's resignedness to answer Mrs. Zhao's words, and she didn't dare to make a sound, and her tears were about to flow out.
This is ancient times, not TV dramas, it's real ancient times, it's ancient times where you have to stay for the rest of your life, Xiaoxiang is just one of the children of thousands of poor families, imagine that if you hadn't crossed over by yourself, the Anjia sisters and brothers would have been gone for a long time!
・・・・・・
"Miss An, Miss An? What's wrong with you! Mrs. Zhao looked at An Lan and asked.
An Lan was startled when she saw that the room was full of well-behaved people standing. She still didn't show any surprise on her face, but replied lightly, "Oh! It's okay! I'm just thinking about how many people I need to add to my family, sorry, but I'm a little preoccupied for a while. ”
"That's it! It's a big deal to choose some people at home to take advantage of, Miss An thought slowly, don't worry! ”
An Lan couldn't laugh or cry when she heard Mrs. Zhao's tone, you said that this Aunt Zhao is really a living treasure, she is still so naughty when she is old, it really makes people not know what to say!
"I don't know much about picking people, Uncle Wang, you have to help choose one!" An Lan said to the person with a smile.
"No problem, wrap it up on me." The Chinese reassured An Lan.
"What are your names, in turn? What are you good at? And what kind of contract did you sign. The middle man said loudly to a group of people.
"The maid's name is Malt! I'm 13 years old and I'm good at needlework. It was a death deed. ”
・・・・・・
Every time the Chinese pick someone, they have to look at An Lan's expression, An Lan nodded before he said to stay, An Lan shook his head and he didn't pick, after a screening, An Lan finally picked 10 people, four maids, two little maids, a scholar, a concierge, and two cooks. An Lan looked at the person she had finally selected and nodded with satisfaction.
"Miss An, do you want to change their names now?" The Chinese man said to An Lan with a smile.
"I won't choose a name either, so I'd better wait for my brother to choose one for them!" An Lan replied with some embarrassment.
"Okay, that's it?" The man asked.
"Hmm!"
At this time, Xiaoxiang ran over and knelt down in front of An Lan, and begged An Lan in a low voice: "Miss An, you can buy me too!" I will definitely take care of you! ”
Before An Lan could speak, Mrs. Zhao rushed over and grabbed Xiaoxiang and said,
"Dead hooves, don't apologize to Miss An." After speaking, he looked at An Lan apologetically.
An Lan was really a little unbearable when she saw Xiao Xiang's appearance, she thought about it for a while and felt that there was no loss in accepting Xiao Xiang.
"Xiaoxiang, get up! I promise you! ”
Xiaoxiang was first incredulous, and then happy, and hurriedly kowtowed to An Lan to thank her. An Lan helped Xiaoxiang up and said with a smile: "Okay, everyone will be a family in the future." You go and pack up your things first, and then gather in the courtyard, and then we will go back to Anfu. ”
The 11 people hurriedly said yes, and then withdrew.
An Lan looked at Mrs. Zhao and said, "How much do these people cost?" ”
After thinking quickly in her heart, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly said,
"Not much, not more! 10 taels of silver per person. ”
The Chinese couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly said to Mrs. Zhao,
"Sister Zhao, you are really unkind! 7 taels of silver per person is about the same! ”
"Okay, for the sake of Miss An's first time taking care of the old woman's business, I only count 8 taels of silver per person."
Mrs. Zhao wanted to say something, but An Lan interrupted her and said, "Okay, it's 8 taels, deal!" After speaking, he took out 100 taels and gave it to Mrs. Zhao and said,
"The 88 taels of silver are yours, and the rest will be used as a hardship fee for the Chinese!"
Hearing An Lan say this, the Chinese looked at her gratefully.
