Chapter 018: Wrapped around the old slave
Wei Pozi brought a total of twenty little girls and stood on the ground with her head down.
"Raise your heads and show Miss Shen!"
"Are you literate?" Shen Tianshu asked.
"Yes, yes!" Mrs. Wei quickly brought out two humanes, "This twelve-year-old knows a few words and can keep accounts." This thirteen-year-old, originally had a good family condition, and studied with the female gentleman for a few years, not only can he read and write, but also read books to relieve your boredom. ”
After she finished speaking, she turned around and pulled out a tall girl from the end and said: "This is even more powerful, the original family opened a medical hall, and then her father killed someone, the shop was smashed, and the family couldn't afford to pay for smashing pots and selling iron, so she was sold, this is a top good talent, if it weren't for the girl in the house to pick a maid, I wouldn't be willing to bring her to ordinary people!" ”
Mingyu pouted when she heard this: "You don't bluff our girl, she has to be fifteen or sixteen at her age, you can't sell it in your hands, right?" ”
Although Mingyu guessed most of the time, Wei Pozi has been a person in Yongzhou Mansion for most of her life, and she will be stunned by a few words.
"My Wei Pozi has been a human being in Yongzhou Mansion for so many years, and I still want reputation and face, where do I dare to do things that fool people!
"This girl is tall, just fifteen this year, I said she is a talent, but by no means fooling the big girl, she can not only distinguish medicinal materials, but also make medicinal food, with a variety of beauty prescriptions, as well as what kind of bathing and cleansing pills, foot soaking medicine bags, she can do them all, much more useful than ordinary maids!"
Shen Tianshu checked the three of them for a few words, and was more satisfied with the latter two, and motioned for Mingyu to go over and take a closer look.
Mingyu usually looks like a child in front of Shen Tianshu, but now in front of these little girls, she instantly has the momentum of a big girl.
She interrogated the two of them about their origins, family situation, physical condition, and even smallpox chickenpox, and took the opportunity to observe the nails of the two, behind the ears and other places, and saw that the two of them had a clear eye for answers, and they were also very neat, so she nodded with satisfaction.
Shen Tianshu said: "Leave these two, pick a good needlework, and leave two more rough girls." ”
The five maids were soon picked out.
Shen Tianshu raised his eyes and said, "There is Mama Lao Guo." ”
Mama Guo reluctantly pulled out a smile and said: "Mrs. Wei will go to the account room with me to pay the money, the old slave will ask someone to come to the house to tailor these girls, and the big girl can rest assured!" ”
Seeing that Shen Tianshu nodded to express satisfaction, Mama Guo didn't want to stay longer for a moment, and immediately led people out.
Shen Tianshu looked at the five maids kneeling in a row.
The oldest one is slender and tall, with a melon seed face, high eyebrows, slightly raised eyes, and a thin jaw.
When she saw Shen Tianshu looking at her, she couldn't help but whisper: "My father was wronged, he didn't treat the dead!" It's those people who rely on their power to be unreasonable......"
Mingyu reprimanded: "The master hasn't spoken yet, do you have the right to speak?" How does Wei Pozi teach people? Before the people went far, quickly called her back and led the people away! ”
"The slave knows that it is wrong, it is the slave and the maid who don't understand the rules, so I beg the girl and Sister Mingyu to forgive this time."
The other party was so frightened that she immediately knelt down to plead guilty, the reason why she didn't dare to say this until Wei Pozi left was because she was afraid of being beaten.
Mingyu was right before, at her age, it is indeed older to sell to other people's houses as maids, and most people like to be ten to twelve years old, buy it back to be a good teacher, let the old women take it for two years, and at the age of thirteen or fourteen, they just enter the house to serve the master.
If it weren't for the fact that she had some medicinal powder for soaking her feet, which relieved Wei Pozi's leg pain, and felt that her skills were quite useful, maybe she could sell them for a good price, and she would have been a concubine for the old man.
If she is returned at this time, then Mrs. Wei will definitely not keep her anymore.
Shen Tianshu stopped Mingyu, who wanted to say anything more, with his eyes, and said, "Let's stay and see it first, if it's not good, then sell it." ”
She can't help it now, she really has no one to use.
And the rules can be taught slowly, reading and literacy or something, but it can't be taught in a few days, especially this girl also knows some medical and pharmacology, if it's really a good material, teaching it can save her a lot of worry.
She rushed down again and said, "Your name is Minghui, I have a recipe here, and there are medicinal herbs in the small kitchen behind, you go and boil a bowl of medicine according to the recipe." ”
"Thank you, girl, the slave must do a good job." Minghui took the prescription with both hands and went down in response.
With such a play, the rest of the people hung their heads lower, and even their kneeling postures became more regular.
Another literate little girl has a white and tender face, round face and round eyes, and is very likable.
"Your name is Mingyan, and you will follow Mingyu to learn to do things in the future."
The maids sent by Mrs. Wei have all been roughly adjusted and taught by her, and the rules on the big face are still understood.
As soon as Mingyan heard this, she knew that it was Shen Tianshu who raised herself and followed Mingyu to learn, which was equivalent to being a personal maid for her master, and her big round eyes smiled into a slit.
"Slave, thank you, girl."
After Mingyan kowtowed to Shen Tianshu, she got up and saluted Mingyu again: "Sister Mingyu has something to tell me, if there is anything wrong, I hope my sister will teach me." ”
It's going to happen.
Shen Tianshu pointed to the female red maid and said: "You just call it Ming Xiu, there is no work in the house recently, you embroider a handkerchief and come to me to see!" ”
The remaining two little girls are both twelve years old, one is called Rui'er and the other is called Mi'er, and they are handed over to Mingyu to manage.
They all stay outside to be rough maids first, and when they are older and things are done, they will find an opportunity to go up into the house.
After sending Mrs. Wei away here, Mama Guo couldn't help but muttered to Xu's when she went back: "Madam, the eldest girl doesn't know what's going on lately, it's like a different person, her eyes swept over, and the old slave felt trembling, could it be a ghost in the wilderness?" ”
"What are you talking about!" Xu Shi was excited by her, but soon said with a happy face, "The bowl of medicine in the morning is really effective, I went to see Yihao just now, he said that he didn't feel anything after treatment before, but this time he took the medicine but it was a little hot!" ”
Mama Guo immediately said: "Oh, this is a good thing!" It seems that the eldest girl didn't bluff us, this prescription was really prescribed by Imperial Doctor Liu. ”
"Isn't it!" Xu folded his hands, "Amitabha, God bless, Yihao can get better quickly." ”
Hearing this, Mama Guo's eyes rolled a few times, and she leaned over to Xu's side and whispered: "Madam, choose a maid today, the eldest girl has left a girl who used to open a pharmacy at home and knows a little about medicinal herbs, you say, will she leave the matter of boiling medicine to her?" ”
"What's wrong with finding a maid to boil medicine, could it be that the previous medicine will be made by herself? It's not Mingyu's ...... yet" Xu didn't react at first, but then comprehended the meaning of Mama Guo's words, and slapped the table suddenly, "Yes, Mingyu's girl is stubborn, it doesn't mean that everyone will be loyal to her." I'll leave this matter to you, if I can get a prescription, I'll release your grandson. ”
As soon as she heard the release, Mama Guo's eyes lit up, and she said continuously: "Don't worry, madam, this matter is on the old slave." ”
