Literate and even able to settle accounts, such talents are rare!

Jin Niang's back straightened a little, and she looked at this woman with more cautious eyes.

There is no doubt that this Qin Clan's ability is far beyond her expectations, and it really surprises her. She really didn't expect that such a grandmother would still be the chief steward of the inner house, and she was still in charge of the inner house of the former Wanzhi Mansion, helping the lady in charge to handle the accounts, and also managing the treasury...... Then this must be the henchman next to the lady of the house.

Confidant......

Thinking of this, Jin Niang couldn't help frowning.

If she likes everything about this Qin family, only the word "confidant" makes her feel a little drummed.

She doesn't know what Mrs. Wan of Wanzhifu is, but since Mrs. Li said that Wanzhifu was exiled and her family property was confiscated, then this is a criminal official.

The confidant next to the wife of the prisoner...... I don't know if the Qin clan knows some secrets of the Wan Zhifu, and whether they will be implicated because of these secrets in the future.

Jin Niang was cranky, so she fell silent.

The Qin family also had a delicate heart, she guessed what Jin Niang was thinking about, and after consideration, she said, "The slave maid only served by the old master's side earlier, and because of her withdrawn temperament, she only counted the accounts in a separate room most of the time, and had limited contact with outsiders. ”

Jin Niang nodded when she heard this.

In fact, even if the Qin family didn't say these words later, she decided to buy her.

It's really hard to find a woman with such a background and ability. What's more, she has good rules, and she was on an errand in the official eunuch's house earlier, so she should know a little bit about some of the old news of the eunuch's house.

And Xu Erlang wants to take the imperial examination, according to his ability and talent, Jin Niang has no doubt that he will get ahead one day. Since sooner or later she will become an official wife, it is necessary to have a grandmother by her side who is well versed in the routines of family interaction.

As for the identity of Qin's "confidant", it can only be diluted at the moment. As for the future, if her old master is likely to overturn the case, and her heart is not here, she will not be allowed to go back. If she knew any secrets, they would be implicated...... When you think about it, this is really very unlikely. A henchman around the lady in charge is not the confidant of Wanzhifu, even if she knows some secrets, at most she is a private person in the back house, or the illegal deeds done by that lady, far from the point where she can harm them.

With an idea in her heart, Jin Niang nodded and said to Mrs. Li, "This one will be left." ”

Mrs. Li was overjoyed, "Congratulations to Mrs. for getting a job." ”

Qin Shi reacted, and his tense body seemed to relax suddenly. The corners of her lips curled, and she said "Thank you, ma'am", and was about to stand aside.

Jin Niang spoke up in time to stop her, "You go and pick some maids and wives to come out, and you will be on an errand in the house like you in the future." ”

The Qin clan didn't seem to expect that this young lady valued her so much. actually handed over the matter of buying the maid directly to her. However, this may also be that Madame is testing her, she should behave better, Qin Shi responded respectfully, "Yes." ”

Jin Niang nodded, "Let Qinghe tell you that you have to add people there." ”

Qing He walked over and muttered to the Qin family.

Needlework and thread, on the stove, carriage and horse, and the porter's office, this must be added, and there are a few little masters around, and there are also several spare ......

Qing He and the Qin family explained, and the Qin family nodded frequently, thinking about it.

Jin Niang also wanted to see how the grandmother around the eunuch was doing, so she also stayed to watch.

Her performance made the Qin family more sure that Madame was indeed testing her.

Qin's first asked the maids and women to stand according to the designated position, "Those who know how to needle and thread stand here, those who know how to read and hyphenate here, those who have good skills on the stove come here, those under the age of eight come here, and those who are young and strong stand here......"

Divided the people into several teams, and the Qin family asked them one by one, including where they were from, where they had been on errands, who they had served, how many years of needlework/cooking they had learned, and what was their foundation? Check whether they are dressed cleanly, whether there is a peculiar smell on their bodies, whether their teeth are white, whether there are calluses on their palms, etc......

After a series of inquiries and checks, the vast majority of people were excluded, and in the end, less than forty were selected. And among these forty people, there are a few stout women who do not know how to work, do not know how to cook, do not know how to read, and only have brute strength, which is used to guard the inner door, or act as rough women.

And the pair of twin girls that Jin Niang took a fancy to earlier were also selected. They are exactly eight years old, and after a good training, Jinniang is ready to let them go to Changle to serve.

After a busy period of survival, an hour passed unconsciously, Jin Niang was a little tired, so she instructed Qingmiao to let her take everyone to settle down, and let the Qin family teach everyone the rules from tomorrow, and she took Qinghe back to Cuibai Garden.

When Jinniang got up from her lunch break, she heard a chattering voice outside, like a fluttering voice.

She said, "Pian Pian is here? ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Pianpian rushed in, pulling Jinniang's arm and shaking it excitedly, "Sister-in-law, I heard that you bought a lot of people this morning, and a pair of eight-year-old twin babies, are you going to call me in the future?" ”

"...... this, no, she is ready to let those two serve Changle.

However, it doesn't hurt to let them follow Xu Pianpian. Xu Pianpian is also seven years old, because Xu's mother is obsessed with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is not interested in social interactions, Pianpian has never been out much, so naturally she has no good friends. It's good to train the twins and send them to be a playmate for Pianpin.

As for Changle, it's okay to pick two more and send them over.

Thinking of this, Jin Niang said, "If they meet your eyes, they will be sent to you to serve at that time." ”

"Great, sister-in-law, you're so good." Pian Piao said, "Sister-in-law, can I have a few more people?" There's no one in the house to play with me, so I want a few more girls to play with me. Is it okay, can it be sister-in-law? ”

Jin Niang made a profound appearance, and after thinking about it, "It's not impossible, but it's ......"

"But what, sister-in-law?"

"But we must keep a good sense of proportion, and we cannot distinguish between master and servant. Also, as you get older, there are some things you have to learn. If you promise your sister-in-law that you will learn what your grandmother teaches you in the future, your sister-in-law will agree to find you a few more little maids to play with. ”

Pian Pian thought that Jin Niang asked Mama to teach her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she hated these the most! When she was a child, her mother taught her every day, but later she realized that she had no talent, so she gave up. Although she has now escaped from her mother's clutches, she still trembles a little when she thinks of the fear of being dominated by black and white dots and guzheng and guqin in those days.

She almost choked up and said, "I don't want to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I don't like it." The third brother said that those things should not be eaten or drunk, it is useless to learn, and I don't need to learn at all. Sister-in-law, you are a bad person, I will ignore you. After speaking, without waiting for Jinniang to explain, she covered her cheeks and ran out crying.

Jin Niang was a little crying and laughing, thinking about Mother Xu, who was addicted to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but gave birth to several children who did not inherit her talent, and she was also a little embarrassed.

But now is not the time to think about these things, you have to hurry up and explain it to Pianpian.

Jin Niang had a headache, and the little girl cried when she said she cried, and she ran when she said she would run, which also made her defenseless.

If she cried all the way back to the room, then she didn't know about her sister-in-law's bullying and crying?

She just got married and practiced as a sister-in-law, which made people hear that her reputation was not complete.

What's more, she was really worried that Xu Mu or Xu Erlang would come to question her after hearing about it, so it would be embarrassing.
