So in an instant, several women did whatever they had to do.

Yuan Xi took a few women to sit in the pavilion, and Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao sat on the side, Zhen Tuo asked, "Husband, how long will this construction take?" ”

Yuan Xi pondered and said: "There is no time to understand your words, their words are estimated to be half a month at most, they are all small projects, and they can be completed easily." ”

"That's good," Zhen Tuo nodded, and asked again, "Then when are we going to choose the maid?" ”

Xu Anmo originally wanted to choose the maids in the house, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, although there were many maids in the house, there were no idle, and everyone had something to do. Besides, they are used to doing the work in the house, and now it is a little inappropriate to let them practice martial arts.

"Well, how about we go buy some maids?" Yuan Xi suggested.

"Buying a maid?" Zhen Tuo really hasn't bought it, these are all done by the people in the house, and she doesn't know the specific process.

He asked, "How do you buy it?" If only I could choose, some are suitable for martial arts, and it is more convenient to buy them. ”

Yuan Xi was amused in his heart, and said in his heart that your three-legged cat kung fu is really on the line, but their martial arts are still good to beat ruffians and hooligans.

"That's it, I'll ask Zou Jia later, if it's convenient for her, we'll let her take us to have a look."

"Okay," Zhen Tuo immediately jumped up, hugged his arm and said, "Let's go now, the backyard is so big, I can't wait to train, and when Xiuyan Paradise is done in the future, it will be more convenient to train."

There was nothing to do, so Yuan Xi said, "Then let's go and have a look." ”

"Third sister, hurry up. We'll go pick a maid in a moment. Zhen Tuo greeted Zhen Dao.

After talking to the other women, Diao Xiu'er and the others were not interested in these, so they didn't pester them and followed Yuan Xi and his party.

walked to the inner courtyard and asked people to find Zou Jia, Zou Jia didn't say a word, and was ready to take Yuan Xi and others out of the house to buy maids.

Now that Yuan Xi is going out, except for a few guards secretly following, there is no need for anyone to follow him on the surface, after all, this is Jixian County, which is very safe, and he doesn't like others to follow him messily, he doesn't like it very much.

Driving the carriage, Yuan Xi and his party soon came to a place called the Etiquette Workshop.

After getting out of the carriage, Yuan Xi looked at the place in front of him and couldn't help but wonder: "What kind of place is this?" How I don't know. ”

Zou Jiajiao said with a smile: "This is the place where the female dependents of their mansions are concentrated after the officials and wealthy families who committed the crime were raided, and it was established by Cai Junguo. ”

Yuan Xi was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Old Man Cai to establish such a place, but some officials and wealthy families who committed crimes, if something happened, if their female dependents were not properly arranged, it would indeed be very miserable, and Cai Yong did this, which can be regarded as a merit.

Zou Jia continued to explain while taking Yuan Xi and Zhen Tuo sisters inside: "Sister Wen Ji explained to me about this, originally all the relatives in Gongsun Zhan's Mansion were imprisoned here, and I heard that it was arranged by my father," Saying this, Zou Jia paused, turned around and looked at Yuan Xi softly.

Yuan Xi waited for her to glance, then touched his nose again and did not speak.

"Later, after my father went back, he never said how to deal with them, Cai Junguo saw this, and built a ceremonial workshop here, and the scale has expanded to not only the inner family of the Gongsun family, in his meaning, if any big official wants a maid in the future, he can buy it from here, which can not only make money for us, but also solve the problems of these women, and at the same time let them have a good home."

"That's right," Yuan Xi nodded, and he understood, "Have we ever bought maids from here?" ”

"Yes," Zou Jia said: "The person in charge here is my subordinate in our house, and the girls here are all well disciplined, and then when we need maids in our house, we can directly choose from them, and if others want to, they can only choose the rest of the ones with average appearance and appearance, and the good ones will always stay." ”

"Why is that? We pick the rest, and others can't choose either? Yuan Xi asked suspiciously.

"Nature." Zou Jia said disapprerovingly: "There are few people in our house now, and we don't need so many maids, and the ones we choose are all first-class women, which doesn't mean that other things are bad." In the future, when the demand is large, the rest can go directly to the house. ”

Seeing his stunned eyes, Zou Jia covered her lips and said with a smile: "Husband doesn't know, these women are very popular, even those very ugly women, there are people to rob them, after all, their identities are there, and now Youzhou is enlightened and has a good atmosphere, where are there so many criminals, there are still very few women with good looks." ”

Yuan Xi naturally has to increase the population in the mansion in the future, and he also needs a lot of maids, but he is now a little less subordinate in the mansion. Think about the grand occasion when Mi Zhu married Liu Bei at the beginning, and 10,000 servants, you can imagine it.

There were more than a dozen guards guarding outside the gate, and when they saw Zou Jia and others coming, they hurriedly opened the door, got out of the way, and welcomed them in.

Soon the person in charge inside also received the news and walked out of it.

"Aunt Wu," Zou Jia stepped forward to the woman in her thirties with a meaty face, "This time I came to choose the maid again, no, this time my husband came with his sisters, you have to select the best trained woman for us to choose." ”

Aunt Wu didn't expect Yuan Xi to come over, and she suddenly panicked in her heart, and hurriedly said, "Naturally, naturally." Those girls who are still good-looking have always kept them. ”

Glancing at Yuan Xi timidly, Aunt Wu said in a low voice: "The big housekeeper, but you also know that Youzhou has developed very well recently under the governance of the lord, and there are few people who commit crimes. ”

Zou Jia shook her head and comforted her: "Don't think about anything, this time it's not about appearance, it's about picking good bones and good figure, you can call out everything you can look like, and let my sister choose." ”

Although Aunt Wu was a little puzzled, she still nodded. The first to go inside.

"Husband, sister," Zou Jia turned back to a few people, "Let's continue to go inside, there will be a big courtyard for a while, everyone will line up, let us choose." ”

Yuan Xihe, who was quite excited, nodded, and walked inside arm in arm.

However, Zhen Dao in the back was not in a very good mood.

Yuan Xi noticed her expression, couldn't help but pause two steps slightly, and asked, "Little Daogu, why are you unhappy?" ”
