Ji Ning hired a carriage as his chariot in the capital, and it was Lin Yi who drove the car, that is, Lin Er, the know-it-all in the capital.

Lin Yi is very familiar with the terrain of the capital, not only familiar, but also has connections, it can be said that he can take care of Ji Ning in all aspects of the capital, and Lin Yi is not the kind of greedy person, as long as Ji Ning gives him a little bit of silver, he will be very happy.

"Lin Er, are there any maidservants in the capital who can be bought and sold?" Ji Ning was lying in the carriage, and in front of him was a rain spirit leaning on his arms, this rain spirit was cold and tired, and he could only rely on Ji Ning to keep warm.

Lin Yidao: "How many maids does Master Ji want to buy in the capital?" ”

"It's not a few, one is enough, it's not necessarily to buy a maid, find someone to take care of it, you always need someone to take care of it on weekdays, if you can hire someone to come over, it will only take less than half a year, and you can do it after the next year's test!"

Ji Ning will not stay in the capital for too long, and by the end of the next year's meeting, Ji Ning will basically be able to determine the future direction.

If he can be admitted to the Jinshi, he will continue to stay in the capital, but at that time he has a higher status and status, and he will not continue to live in this small courtyard, and he needs to move out. If he fails to pass the Jinshi exam, he needs to go back to Jinling City, and it is also troublesome to bring an extra maid by his side, and the maid is generally a northerner, and he is not very willing to follow him to the south.

"Master Ji, do you think this will work? The villain has a sister by her side, smart and lovely, and she has some ability to do things on weekdays, so it is better to let her come to your side to help, and you can give her a little silver...... If Master Ji still feels that the manpower is not enough, then let the cheap one also pass, anyway, she has nothing to do at home every day......"

Ji Ning couldn't help frowning, is this Lin Yi big-hearted or what, he actually wants his wife and sister to be his "maids"?

"Inconvenient, right?" Ji Ning said.

"Nothing was inconvenient. Master Ji's personality, the villain has seen it in the past two days, it is a first-class good, and he has always said that he wants to do something to help the family, but I am afraid that she will come out and walk around as a woman, and it will provoke the words of others, so it is better to let her go to Master Ji's side with her sister to help cook and clean, and the villain can also follow Master Ji to do more things in the future, isn't it ......" Lin Yi looked very enthusiastic, as if he had complete trust in Ji Ning.

Only then did Ji Ning know why Lin Yi was so keen on this matter, because Lin Yi wanted to win him over, and Lin Yi wanted to stay by his side to do things, so he would rather let his wife and sister come to work under him at the same time, which was equivalent to satisfying Ji Ning from the perspective of life first.

Even his mother-in-law and sister were by Ji Ning's side, and Ji Ning seemed to have no reason to refuse Lin Yi to come to him to do things.

"Let's look back, I can let your sister come tomorrow, but...... Under the melon field and plums, others won't say much, right? Ji Ning asked.

"Who dares to chew the root of the tongue casually? Besides, the little sister is also a yellow flower girl, the villain once wanted to find a good family for the little sister to marry, but unfortunately she was born in a small family, and the villain could not prepare a lot of dowry for her, so that she could not find a suitable person at all, if Ji Gongzi was not stingy, he would accept this girl, and in the future, she would be a slave and a maid by the side of Master Ji, which was also her creation......"

Ji Ning couldn't believe his ears, this is still a competent big brother?

After knowing someone for less than three days, he wants to entrust his sister to be a slave, or is Lin Yi's sister very ugly to the point where she can't get married?

Ji Ning waved his hand and said: "Don't say that for the time being, if it's okay, come over tomorrow to do things, give six dollars of silver a month, if you have a good performance, I will give her another big red envelope next year, enough to make her feel that she hasn't done it in vain in the past few months!" ”

……

……

When he got home, Ji Ning had just entered the courtyard, and he could feel a cold breath, which made him very uncomfortable.

Ji Ning personally went inside and lit the candle, Lin Yi had already driven the carriage away, and Yu Ling was sitting on the kang looking very groggy, her body was still trembling.

"Looks like I'm the only one who started the fire!"

Ji Ning wanted to go over and make a fire, but unfortunately the firewood outside was not very dry, and he didn't light it for a long time, wasting a lot of grass. When Ji Ning was worried, there was a knock at the gate of the courtyard.

"Who?" Ji Ning asked.

"This is Master Ji's mansion?" Outside was a timid woman's voice.

Ji Ning's first reaction was, it can't be that something dirty is coming, right?

Lin Yi has always said that this yard is haunted, but it has been the second day since he moved in, and he has not seen what the so-called dirty things look like, and he even wants to go out to see what the ghost looks like.

But after careful analysis, it is more likely that it is Lin Yi's sister or wife, because after Lin Yi recommended his sister and wife before, he has been enthusiastically saying how his wife and sister are virtuous and capable, as if Wang Po is selling melons.

Ji Ning arrived in the courtyard and asked, "Who is outside?" ”

"Master Ji, the little girl was introduced by her brother to help with chores, and I want Master Ji to see if it is suitable!" The voice of the woman outside came from the woman.

Ji Ning opened the door at this time, he didn't carry a lantern himself, after opening the door, he saw a delicate girl standing at the door, because the black light was blind, he didn't see it very clearly, but he saw that the woman's height was not very high, but she looked a little petite and playful, standing there and looking very quiet.

"Come in and talk!" Ji Ning didn't doubt it much, after all, Lin Yi had said it before, and he also knew that Lin Yi didn't live very far, so he estimated that Lin Yi would tell his sister after he went back, and asked his sister to come over to help.

"Where's your brother?" Ji Ning asked.

"The elder brother said, the sky is already deep, it will be inconvenient for him to come to your old yard, let the little woman come and take care of it by herself, the matter of chopping wood and burning the fire, the little woman can complete it, and then wait for the kang to heat up, and then prepare the bathing water for Master Ji, and then leave. If Master Ji thinks that the little girl is still talking in the past, tomorrow the brother will come over and tell Master Ji that the little girl will be a slave by Master Ji's side! The woman followed behind Ji Ning and said timidly.

"Oh, what's the name?" Ji Ning asked casually.

Maybe it's a modern way of thinking, when Ji Ning sees someone, he always wants to know what to call the other party, even if he meets a woman.

But in this era, a woman's name is a very secret thing, usually only known to the family.

"Little Girl...... Mingjuan'er ......" the woman said.

When Ji Ning heard this name, he naturally felt a little cheesy, and what he thought to himself was that if this girl became a maid in my house in the future, he must change her name first, as long as it sounded better.
