Chapter XXVII
The news that Miss Nine Mo Yunyi would select a close maid spread after Jiang Cifu was imprisoned, and caused a great shock among the servants of the Mo family.
Originally, there were many people aiming at the position of Miss Nine's personal maid, but Jiang Cifu was imprisoned, and the Mo family has been controlled by Aunt Zhou for more than ten years, although Aunt Zhou is a concubine and Mrs. Jiang is a stepwife, once Mrs. Jiang's mother's family is convicted, it is difficult to say whether Mrs. Jiang can keep her position, Aunt Zhou is the only sister-in-law who raised Master Mo - the third young master Mo Junyong.
The third young master, the heir of the Mo family, was very cold to Miss Nine.
In this way, the servants and maids are more likely to adopt a wait-and-see attitude, and try to shirk as much as they can.
Besides, Miss Nine's requirements are very strange, only among the maids who can read and count, no matter how many words they know, they can't be illiterate in a big word.
After Mo Xinlan heard about it, she took the initiative to look for Ah Jiu, and after entering the door, she didn't shirk with her, and said sincerely: "If Sister Jiu can trust me, I will send you Lan Mei and Qiushui." When my mother brings back the servants that Jiangnan Nine Sister is used to, Nine Sister will return them to me. ”
Lan Mei, Qiushui looks good, has a beautiful figure, is slightly older than Ah Jiu and is two years older, and at first glance, these two people are white and graceful, and they vaguely reveal a little aura.
It can be seen that Mo Xinlan has carefully trained them.
Although the blue rose autumn water was well hidden, Ah Jiu still saw a trace of reluctance in their lowered faces.
"They have read hundreds of family names, thousand-character texts, can count arithmetic, and signed a death contract, Qiushui's Lao Tzu Niang is also on an errand in the house, Lan Mei bought it from Renyazi, but it has been eight years since she entered the house, she recognized a godmother, and now her godmother is in charge of purchasing."
Mo Xinlan introduced their origins in detail, and they are what Ah Jiu can use now.
Ah Jiu said with a smile: "Thank you Second Sister, gentlemen don't take advantage of others, they have always served Second Sister, you can't lack them by your side, not to mention that they are more willing to serve Second Sister, just for their loyalty, I can't force them." ”
Seeing Mo Xinlan open her mouth, Ah Jiu preemptively said: "I finally got the matter of choosing a maid from my mother's hands, you sent two well-trained ones, it saved my effort, I have less experience, I can't always rely on the second sister, I want to be a ** maid by myself." ”
"There are few charcoal in the snow." Mo Xinlan smiled faintly and took the initiative to hold Ah Jiu's wrist, "Aren't you afraid of choosing a few speculative ones?" ”
"But those who have the courage to speculate are mostly smart people, and it is precisely because of their intelligence that they can see the situation more clearly, and I choose to be smart and clever, and I am not afraid that they are smart, because ...... I'm smarter than them! Able to control their ambitions, follow me to have meat to eat. ”
Mo Xinlan's fingers trembled slightly, avoiding Mo Yunyi's confident light, and that familiar and unfamiliar feeling came to her heart again, obviously the ninth sister shouldn't be talented at this time, who changed her?
Jiang's?
Mo Yunyi didn't seem to notice that Mo Xinlan, who was stunned, and the selected maids were already concentrated outside the door: "With the second sister helping me check the gates, I am more confident." ”
Pushing open the door, Mo Yuyi stood under the cloister, there were only a dozen maids of different ages in the courtyard to apply, the eldest was sixteen or seventeen years old, and the youngest was only eight or nine years old.
"Qiushui, you do me a favor."
Ah Jiu took out a palm-sized bag and handed it to Qiushui, "There are more than a dozen notes in it, let each of them touch one." ”
"Yes, Miss Nine."
Qiushui and the others had never seen a young lady who used Jin Niang to choose a personal maid, and they couldn't help but be more curious.
Soon everyone touched a note from the bag, and Ah Jiu pointed to the table and chair placed aside, "There is pen and ink on it, answer the questions on the note, one by one, although your questions are different, the difficulty is the same." ”
The maidservants glanced at each other, and several of them who did not know how to read and intended to pass the test opened the note, and were completely stunned.
Ah Jiu urged with a smile: "Don't be shy, don't you even have the courage to be the first to write the answer?" The first person to give me the note, there is an added bonus. ”
Out of the handmaiden came a fifteen or sixteen-year-old man, clear and delicate, but with a pair of charming eyes, and the clothes of the servants could not hide her own style.
She took a pen and wrote a few words, turned around and respectfully handed the note to Ah Jiu, "Slave and maid to meet the master." ”
Is there still such a character hidden in the Mo Mansion?
Ah Jiu stared at her for a long time, "What's your name?" ”
"Lingshan." She replied calmly.
Ah Jiu didn't even look at the answer, and tore up the note casually, "I still lack a maidservant, you help me choose." ”
Ling Shan didn't shirk it, standing beside Ah Jiu, her momentum was very different when she looked at the maid under the steps again, "The third in the second column, Ling Yun, is you." ”
As her voice landed, Lingyun walked out of the queue, her appearance and temperament were not as good as Lingshan, she was firmly in the middle and upper among the servants, between her eyebrows she was more honest than Lingshan, and she looked more stable, one or two years younger than Lingshan.
"Why did you choose her?"
"The slave maid entered the mansion with Lingyun, she is most familiar with her, and the others, the slave and maid don't know much about it, and they don't dare to make trouble for Miss Nine."
Ah Jiu looked at the two of them carefully, and said with a smile: "The rest of the people dispersed, Ling Shan, Ling Yun will be my close maid from today on." ”
"Ninth sister."
Mo Xinlan came out of the house and quietly dragged Ah Jiu, "They just entered the mansion, it's not very suitable, especially Ling Shan, who is enchanting and charming, and really doesn't seem to be a maid." ”
"If she had the ambition to be an aunt, she wouldn't be stupid enough to come to me."
Whether it is Mo Guanjie or Mo Junyong, they are all Confucian disciples, full of sage books, and follow the rules of etiquette and counting, even if they accept the room to serve, they don't have the face to hit their daughter or stepsister.
"I got a pot of good tea and asked my second sister to drink it."
Ah Jiu grabbed Mo Xinlan's arm, dragged her to the house, and casually ordered: "Lingshan Lingyun will move over after packing up her things, and you will live in the West Wing." ”
"Yes, Miss Nine."
The two bowed and exited the courtyard gate.
Seeing that there was no one around, Lingyun asked in a low voice, "It's too easy." ”
"The young lady who can win the favor of adults, is she an ordinary person?" Ling Shan smacked the broken hair around her ears, and suddenly looked like a bewitching lily, pure and charming, and the fragrance implied charm, "It's going to be fun to follow Miss Nine, it's more fun than playing with that stinky man." ”
"Ling Shan, the Lord just asked you to protect Miss Nine closely, don't ...... it"
Even if she is a woman, Lingyun can't bear Lingshan's charm, "She is different from us, she is a serious and noble lady." ”
Ling Shan's charming eyes narrowed, "The women who serve the masters in the workshop are either Qinggui ladies or meritorious nobles, how many men come and go in the workshop every day?" The largest brothel village in the capital is the Jiaofang Division. ”
Seeing Ling Yun's worried gaze, Ling Shan smiled lightly, "Don't worry, I won't betray my lord, and I will naturally protect Miss Nine closely." ”
"Lingshan ......"
"Except for adults, men are all wolf-hearted beasts!"
In addition to protecting Ah Jiu's safety, the most important thing for her is to let Miss Jiu recognize the man clearly, so that she will not be deceived by a cheap man who has a false appearance.
"Miss Nine is so good, no wonder the adults are worried." Lingyun said in a low voice: "What do you say about Miss Nine?" ”
"I don't know if adults have affection for Miss Nine, but I know that the only person who can make adults uncalm, irrational, and out of control is Miss Nine, otherwise we wouldn't serve by her side."
"Actually, the adults don't want Ling Shan to ...... you anymore Then perform the task. ”
Ling Yun held Ling Shan's hand and said softly, "Follow Miss Nine, my lord hopes that you can get back to your former self." ”
Ling Shan's pretty face changed, and she smiled stupidly, "I used to be buried in a mass grave a long time ago." ”
*****
The tea was fragrant, Mo Xinlan was absent-minded, and when she caught a glimpse of Ah Jiuxing's beautiful tea-making technique, she was a little envious, "Tea is good tea, where did the ninth sister get it from?" ”
This pot of tea is not even seen in the grandfather's Fuguo Mansion.
"Uncle Lu gave it to my father."
Ah Jiu closed his eyes and tasted tea slowly, and took a deep sip of tea, "It is worthy of tribute tea, and it is only ten catties a year." ”
"Commander Lu?"
"When the second sister meets him in the future, she can also call him Uncle Lu."
“…… I don't dare. ”
Mo Xinlan had a deep grudge against Lu Tianyang, and couldn't help complaining: "Father doesn't know his murderous reputation in the capital? How do you have a relationship with his peers? Didn't get a bad reputation. ”
Although Mo Guanjie told Mo Xinlan that Lu Tianyang is extremely qualified, Mo Xinlan didn't take it to heart at all, the court eagle dog is just a dog, how arrogant and arrogant he is now, how unlucky he will be in the future.
"My father will be closer to him in prison."
Ah Jiu didn't force Mo Xinlan either, and Jiang told her to land away from her uncle several times...... Ah Jiu thinks that he is by no means as simple as the steel blade in the hands of Emperor Shenwu, "If you get along less in the future, the relationship will fade away." ”
"Miss Nine."
"What?"
Mother Qian, who was serving Jiang's side, walked in, and saw that the second lady was obviously stunned, and she didn't dare to speak, "It's not important." ”
Mother Qian motioned with her eyes to return to Miss Nine alone.
Mo Xinlan got up and said, "Ninth sister has time to go and sit in my house." ”
Ah Jiu stopped Mo Xinlan and faced Qian's mother with a smile, "Is it a gift from my mother who is ready to visit Cheng Guogong?" ”
Chengguo Gong Lu family?
Mo Xinlan's heart trembled, is he the prince of the country?
"Miss Nine knows?" Mother Qian bowed her head in disdain, "The slave maid is here to inform you that you are going out with your wife, but I didn't expect the second lady to be ...... too."
"Just because the second sister is here, you rushed over, and when you entered the door, you looked like you wanted to speak and stopped, for fear that the second sister didn't misunderstand my mother, right?"
"Slaves don't dare."
"Mingming Niang told me that the second sister also went with me, why didn't you mention it?"
“…… Treat unjustly. ”
"Shut up!"
Ah Jiu put the teacup on the table, "Divide me and my second sister, do you dare to call it wronged?" Lingshan, you send this old Diao slave to the housekeeper to beat her for twenty boards, so that she can have a long memory, and by the way, let the group of young people in the house understand that Madame treats me and my second sister equally. ”
Ling Shan hid her surprise and responded.
Mo Xinlan said: "Ninth sister went to thank the county lord of Zhaohua, I shouldn't have followed." ”
"I'm the younger sister of the second sister, shouldn't the second sister go and thank my sister's lifesaver?"
Ah Jiu sighed meaningfully: "Some villains just can't see our sisters well, if someone is dry to the second sister in the future, you can just talk to me, if you talk about it, there will be fewer misunderstandings." ”
Mo Xinlan had to appreciate it, and secretly admired the ninth sister's mind and acted neatly.
