Chapter 173: A group of ornaments

Cen Xiyan looked at the girls introduced by Mrs. Liu, and sure enough, as she said, they all looked very smart, and they were all twelve to fourteen years old, not big or small, they worked just right, and they all looked good, but although they looked smart, they were not enchanting, and they would not steal the limelight from the master, and they stayed by their side for a year or two, which was just right to be a dowry maid.

Scold! Cen Xiyan glanced at Mother Feng, and couldn't help sneering in her heart, such a lovely girl, it looks like she was carefully selected and specially prepared for her......

"There are Lao Feng's mother and Mrs. Liu." Cen Xiyan said lightly, and stopped looking at these two women.

More than 40 people stood in half of the courtyard and stood in three rows, the two rows in front were girls, and the back row was a strong woman who was about forty years old.

"Alright, just a few of them." She really ordered it casually, but when she ordered people, she bypassed a few people specially introduced by Liu Niangzi, and also bypassed a few people who seemed to be particularly loyal and honest, and chose all of these people, who looked the most decent and had no characteristics.

The people who served around Miss Cen Fu were a nurse, two big maids, three second-class maids, four third-class maids, and four mothers-in-law, and the concubine had one less second-class maid than the concubine.

Cen Xiyan has no nurse, and the big girl has Jingshuang and Yingxue, so that there were originally two mother-in-law in Jinglan Pavilion, so she only picked six girls and two mothers-in-law, which can be regarded as occupying all the places in Jinglan Pavilion.

The speed at which she chose people was so fast that Mother Feng and Mrs. Liu didn't react for a while, and they were stunned.

"Mother Feng, Mrs. Liu, I have already chosen the people, just these few people, I stayed." Cen Xiyan repeated it again.

Mother Feng and Mrs. Liu finally came back to their senses.

Mother Feng looked at the girls and mother-in-law selected by Cen Xiyan, her brows frowned invisibly, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.

She heard that this sixth lady who had just returned home was a bit smart, and Mrs. Zhao seemed to have suffered a secret loss in her hands today, so it was not surprising that Cen Xiyan did not choose the girls introduced by Mrs. Liu, but she actually excluded the most honest and honest candidates! Is this Sixth Miss really smart and cautious to this point, or did she hear some rumors?

Mother Feng muttered in her heart, and Mrs. Liu's expression was also a little unnatural, she had a slightly stiff smile on her face, making a final effort, "Miss Six, don't you choose carefully?" The people who are serving around you must be hearty and choose well......"

"There's no need to choose, just a few, I think it's nice to hear." Cen Xiyan looked at Mrs. Liu and said. The voice is calm, but the tone is unmistakable.

When Cen Xiyan really looked at a person, his eyes were extremely penetrating, and Mrs. Liu was intimidated by her eyes, and she couldn't say anything before she finished speaking.

"Mother Feng, I'll choose these people, no problem, right?" Cen Xiyan looked at Mother Feng again and asked.

Mother Feng dared to say "there is a problem", and hurriedly smiled: "No problem, no problem, Miss Six thinks these people are good, then it must be good!" ”

"That's good." Cen Xiyan nodded, "Then the others, please take Mrs. Liu back, and trouble Mother Feng to take Mrs. Liu to the account room to pay the money." ”

Of course, Cen Xiyan is not short of money to buy a few people, but she is now the sixth lady of Cen Mansion, and the noble lady naturally has no reason to spend money to buy people herself, and Cen Mansion can't afford to lose that person, so Cen Xiyan will not be guilty of that kind of confusion.

"Okay, then the old slave will take Mrs. Liu to get the silver." When Mother Feng said this, she paused for a moment, and then said: "I also asked Miss Sixth to name these girls as soon as possible, rank them, and the old slave returned to Mrs. Zhao, and signed the deed and booklet for these subordinates." ”

"I know, I'll have someone send the name or something to Mrs. Zhao later." Cen Creek Rock Road.

Feng's mother and Mrs. Liu took the rest of the people away, Cen Xiyan sat on the main seat in the front hall on the first floor, and interrogated these newly bought girls, mother-in-law's age, place of origin, who else in the family and other information one by one, and chose a fourteen-year-old and a fifteen-year-old girl to be a second-class maid, the two of them are the oldest of the six girls, and the other four girls are only twelve or thirteen years old, and these little girls are all third-class maids.

As for the name, it is also trouble-free, according to Jingshuang's proposal, they all took the names of medicinal materials, the two second-class girls are called Chuanbei and Chuanwu, and the four third-class maids are called: Baiji, Angelica, Baiguo, and Baipaonia. As for the two mothers-in-law, they don't need to receive their names, they can be called directly by their surnames.

After choosing the name, Cen Xiyan glanced at a circle of several new subordinates, and said lightly: "My yard, there is not much work, and there are not so many rules, you just need to abide by the rules of Cen Mansion, only one thing to remember, without my call, don't casually enter the small building where I live, violators, don't stay in this courtyard, no example!" Remember? ”

"Yes, Miss, we remember!" Several girls and mothers-in-law said in unison.

Cen Xiyan pointed to Jingshuang and Yingxue again, and said to those people: "This is Jingshuang and Yingxue, the big girl by my side, you will be under their control in the future, and they will assign you any work." ”

"Yes, the slave knows." Several people replied in unison.

Cen Xiyan nodded, and then said to Yingxue: "Yingxue, you take them to the wing, arrange a place for them to live, and divide the affairs of this courtyard for them." ”

"Yes, Miss!" Yingxue agreed very happily, hehe, take care of people's business, she loves to do it! "Come with me." Yingxue took the eight people out with brisk steps.

Cen Xiyan said to Jingshuang on the side: "Jingshuang, you go and write the new names of these subordinates into the roster and send them to the Zhao family." "Jingshuang has a calm temperament, it is safer to go to Zhao's courtyard or send Jingshuang.

"Okay, I'll go." Jingshuang agreed, and turned to write the booklet.

Cen Xiyan rubbed her forehead, and sighed in her heart, she was only one person, where could she be served by so many people! But even if they don't need to, these people must stay, even if it's just for decoration!

Jinglan Pavilion is her private space in the Cen Mansion, and now that she lives in a bunch of strangers, it feels really bad, sure enough, she is not a name for this ancient noble lady, and it is annoying to be served by many people......
