Chapter 570: The Su Clan Picks People
Su met Liu San in the flower hall.
"Mrs. Qin, I have already brought people, a total of ten, all of them were selected according to your requirements." Liu San stood in the hall with a small notebook, and spoke respectfully to the Su family on the seat, with that attitude, as if he was a housekeeper of the Qin family.
Of course, this is not what Liu San wants, this is the habit of the Liu family, a habit that has been passed down. Although the Liu family is rich now, in terms of status, they are still extremely low. As the saying goes, "the car and boat shop has a tooth, and there should be a killing if you are not guilty" People's impression of Yayu has always been very bad, thinking that they have a rotten tongue, eat two with one mouth, eat by mouth, and are mercenary, so the status of Yayu is very low, and even serious businessmen can't compare, and they are subordinate to the people in the ninth rate.
The Liu family is developed, but they have developed by helping others to make profits, and in the eyes of those who have status and status, their Liu family is just a few stinky and coaxing bad money, which is worse than the nouveau riche. In fact, the Liu family is also bitter in their hearts! Although the Liu family has been doing their duties for generations, they are all honest people who keep their duties, and they have never done those hurtful things such as abduction and deception! Their Liu family also has no way, for the sake of livelihood, they can't continue this despised business, if they can all be admitted to a show talent and change their courts, who is willing to do this?
"Do you want to go over and have a look?" At this time, Liu San is completely different from his previous appearance in the tooth line, when he was in the tooth line, Liu San felt that he was the master, and the little cubs downstairs had to call him "master", didn't he? But when doing business, especially in the mansion, he is like a grandson, a real grandson.
Su Shi nodded, and said to the nurse beside him, Yan said, "Follow me to have a look." ”
The two hurriedly said yes and followed Su Shi to the courtyard.
In the courtyard stood a row of girls of different heights, shortness, fatness and thinness. They are all around 10 years old.
"Madam Qin, you see, these girls are all selected according to your wishes, and the oldest of them is twelve years old. The youngest is ten years old, and they have all been trained by their upbringing mothers. Understand the rules, know the numbers, and you can use it when you buy it. Liu San said with a smile, it's not that he boasts, in Taizhou, in the line of being a tooth and looking at people, he Liu Laosan recognizes the second. No one dares to admit that they are first.
"This is Mrs. Qin, she is the most kind, she will choose two people among you to stay, who will get this opportunity. It depends on your creation. Why don't you hurry up and say hello to Mrs. Qin? Liu San is the most observant, he said that the Su family is kind, not just empty words, wanting to put a high hat on the master's family, but he can really see that the Su family is a person who has no opinions and is soft-hearted. That's why I say that.
"I've seen Mrs. Qin."
Ten girls saluted one after another, and their movements were quite neat, which made people feel comfortable to watch.
Su Shi stood on the steps under the corridor and slowly looked at the ten girls in turn.
The ten girls were all different in height, short, fat and thin, and they stood like pines. With a straight back, hands at the sides, and a slight head hanging, it is neither excessively inferior nor frivolous, which looks good.
Su Shi actually has no bottom in her heart, looking at people and picking people, she can't ask herself at all. She came from a down-and-out family, although she had studied for a few days and knew a few words, but she didn't know anything about how to manage a family and how to choose the right person.
Of course, it's no wonder that she, the Su family is still young, her mother left, her sister-in-law Song is a muddy person, and she won't teach her this eye-catching sister-in-law any way to run the house at all, after the Su family gets married, she is a concubine, and she is not qualified to be in charge of the family at all, that is, when the Fang aunt and nephew fell, she was in charge of the family during that time, and it was also the Yan family who helped to reluctantly handle the things in the house one by one. If this family is not handed over to the Lin family, she is afraid that she will be tired and exhausted. So for the selection of people, Su really has no confidence.
She had already realized this, so yesterday she instructed the Yan family to leave the errand of selecting people to her. However, Su didn't fully trust Yan, she felt that Yan was her daughter's person, and she might be instructed by her daughter to do something, so she told Yan that she wanted her to pick out half of these people, and she herself would choose two more people, so that it would be foolproof. At the same time, the Su family also asked the nurse to keep an eye on the Yan family, not letting her leave the garden for a step, and not allowing outsiders to contact her, for fear that Yan's daughter Xueqing, or someone in Qin Daixin's garden would send a letter to the Yan family.
It can be said that Qin Daixin's sending Ailian to Chunhui Garden completely stimulated the Su family and turned her into an extreme mother, and the Su family's overprotective Qin Ziying and rejection of Qin Daixin's attitude also caused a rift in the relationship between her daughter, which had always been close.
Yan didn't think it was surprising, originally, most of the things that picked people were to let the housekeeper's mother take a look, and if the people were selected, the master would be allowed to appear and choose a few pleasing ones among these people who had already been picked, this is the rule! But then she found out that things don't seem to be so simple, why does the nurse always pull herself to ask some innocuous things, she wasn't like this before, how can she stumble and talk to herself, and even go to the thatched house together?
Who is Yan? She is not only a hot and yellow person, but she has also seen the wind and waves in the mansion, and after a little thought, she understands the intention of the nurse, which is nothing more than looking at herself. She saw through the nurse's intentions, but she didn't debunk it, but catered to it everywhere, the nurse saved a lot of work, and the person was a lot easier, but she didn't know what Yan's real thoughts were.
Yan's thought was very simple, if the third lady wanted to find herself, it was not something they could stop at all, and this little trick of the nurse was not worth mentioning in front of herself.
Sure enough, Reiko sneaked in at night and explained something to her.
Yan Shi looked at the girls in front of him quietly, his gaze lingered on the two figures for a moment, and then moved away quietly.
At this time, Su Shi's faint voice sounded, "Mother Yan, you come and pick someone." ”
Yan hurriedly said yes and walked towards the ten people.
She stood still in front of the first, slightly short girl, and was speechless for a long time.
Liu Sanbian was used to seeing this scene, so he had no other thoughts except for being a little curious about the housekeeper mother of the Qin Mansion.
On the contrary, the Su family and the nurse were secretly anxious on the side, what the hell is this Yan family doing, why is it so rubbing.
Probably that girl thinks this way, too. She only felt that there was a person standing in front of her, but this person was only standing in front of her, and she didn't ask anything. If you don't say anything, is there something wrong with you?
The girl was a little flustered. Hurriedly raised his head, with a slight panicked look in his eyes.
Yan didn't even look at her, and came to the second girl.
The first girl lowered her head in frustration, how could she forget that without the inquiry of the master's family, even if the sky fell, she would have to bow her head.
The second girl didn't make that mistake.
Yan waited for a long time. Seeing that she still maintained her original posture without moving, she couldn't help but nod secretly, and said immediately: "Raise your head." ”
The girl raised her head, revealing a small, round face. The facial features are mediocre and there is nothing brilliant about it, but it is not annoying either.
The Yan family knew that the Su family was going to send it to Qin Ziying, and the person couldn't be too good, but it couldn't be too bad. This girl's round little face is very pleasing, and it won't be annoying, which is quite in line with the standard.
"Open your mouth ......"
The girl's mouth opened.
Yan didn't feel the smell in her mouth, and saw two rows of clean and neat teeth, and was very satisfied.
"Reach out."
The girl held out a pair of hands. Yan Shi looked at it and frowned.
This child's hands are small and black, and the fingers are very short, and they will not grow long in the future.
Yan shook his head and secretly said that it was a pity before coming to the third girl......
After such a strict and meticulous investigation, four people finally got the approval of the Yan family.
"Madam, the slave maid thinks these four people are suitable to stay." After Yan said this, he stepped aside.
Su's gaze fell on the four girls who had already come out of the ranks.
When the Yan family was choosing people, she watched silently from the sidelines, but she also saw a little bit of the doorway. For example, the girl who was the first to lose the election, she was too impatient, and raised her head without waiting for the master to speak, such a girl bought back, it was easy to make her own assertions, and there were a few who were not selected, some had a bad face, and some had a bad tone, anyway, they all had such and such unpleasant problems.
The four ...... in front of you
Su Shi pointed to the tallest girl among the four and asked, "Third shopkeeper, why is this girl so tall, her age can't be scribbled, right?" "Su means that he is afraid that this girl will hide her age.
Liu San heard this, and hurriedly said: "No, Liu Ji's reputation is the first, and he will never do such a thing." He took out a pamphlet in his hand and looked at it, and said, "This girl was born taller than ordinary children, and everyone in her family is tall, and she is indeed only eleven years old." ”
Eleven years old?
Su Shi thinks she is taller than Xiuying, but Xiuying is fifteen!
"You come forward."
The tall girl stepped forward and blessed slightly, "I've seen Madame." ”
Su Shi nodded secretly, thinking that her etiquette was good, "Raise your head." ”
The girl raised her head, revealing a childish little face.
Su Shi looked at her, only to see that she was born with a full forehead, clear eyes, and seemed to be very blessed, this child is also very safe, and not ugly, just not amazing enough, she is also very clean, although the clothes are old, but the pulp is very clean and smooth, and there is a faint fragrance of grass and trees on it, presumably it is used to wash the clothes with plant ash!
"What's your name, can you read?" The person who waits for Qin Zi to win, can't he not read a single big character, right? You always need to know a few words.
The girl hurriedly said: "Mrs. Hui, the slave maid is called Dengzhi, and I know a few words." ”
Ascending the branches? The meaning of this name is good, but the children of poor families are generally called Xiu'er, Duo, even if it is good, how can she have such an elegant name?
Liu San saw Su's thoughts, and hurriedly said: "Madam, this child's father is a scholar, and he has also been a showman, and his family is originally well-off, but he was defeated because of some things." ”
Su felt that this Dengzhi's life was not good, and he was a little unhappy, and then he thought about it again, whose life is good and will be sold as a slave? Immediately, I was relieved.
"Oh, what's going on." This obviously aroused Su's interest.
"This child has a brother, he was abducted by a kidnapper when he was three years old, the whole family in order to find the child, is to scatter the family wealth, the poor child did not come back, the Xiucai was also dragged out of the sick, the year before last, the child's mother remarried regardless of it, but the poor child had no choice, so he had to sell himself to bury his father."
When Su Shi heard this, she only felt very sympathetic, she had also lost her child, and she knew what it was like, but her life was good, and her son came back, not to mention, she was still angry.
Su Shi didn't ask any more, and immediately said: "Let's stay on this branch, the magpie will stay on the branch, which is also a good sign." ”
Liu San hurriedly said, "Don't thank you Madame?" ”
Dengzhi hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, madam." ”
Su Shi nodded, "Get up, you are also a miserable person." ”
Dengzhi got up at this time, and stood aside in a proper manner, and when Su Shi saw it, he was even more satisfied.
The remaining three......
Su simply called the three of them to come closer and ordered them to raise their heads.
The three girls hurriedly raised their heads.
The first one was clean-looking, although it was a little delicate, but it was beautiful in the east, but the slightly raised corners of his eyes reminded Su of the Wang family and Miss Qin Si, and he didn't like it at the moment, so he looked away.
The second girl had some yellow hair, not to mention short, and was very thin, and when I asked, I found out that she was the oldest of them, all twelve years old, and she looked malnourished. Liu Ji Yaxing doesn't give people food, how can he starve people like this? and Yan's, how did she choose such a person, and she chose such a person.
Yan Shi seemed to understand what Su Shi meant, and hurriedly said: "Madam, this child is not in good health, she can be relieved by raising her, she is literate, and she is good at embroidery, and the most important thing is that the eight characters are very good." ”
Su Shi looked at Yan's family, obviously not believing her statement, eight characters are good? Su scoffed, thinking that you still understand this? She thought for a while and asked Liu Sandao, "What is this girl's name?" ”
Liu San flipped through the booklet in his hand and hurriedly said, "It's called Chen Xiaomei." ”
Surname Chen?
Su frowned, she remembered that Yan's husband's family was also surnamed Chen, and it wouldn't be ......
"Alright, just her!"
Su Shi pointed to the last girl with her head down and a little skinny, and said, "It's her." ”
ps:
Ask for a ticket......
