Chapter 53: Choosing a Maid (2)

The first place from the left is a sturdy girl with spots on her face and not beautiful, but she is dressed neatly and freshly, and she looks like a quick person. She glanced up at the young lady, and saw that the young lady's face was soft and her eyes were encouraging, so she dared to speak.

“…… My name is Liu Xiaocui, I am originally from Dengzhou, and I am thirteen years old this year. The family is my father and sister-in-law. My father and brother are both stonemasons. In three months, there was a plague in my village, my father and mother died, and my brother and sister-in-law ...... I sold my ......."

Ye Mengmeng nodded and sighed secretly. It turned out to be sold by a ruthless brother.

Although the second girl was born thin, she had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and her eyes also revealed a sense of intelligence, which looked quite different.

"The little woman's surname is Zhang, her name is Yundie, she is fourteen years old this year, and she followed her father and mother from Yunzhou to the capital half a year ago. Who knows, relatives moved and disappeared, and my father and mother fell ill and died. The slave and maid had no money on them, and they had no choice but to sell themselves to bury their father and mother......" Zhang Yundie bit her lip, her eyes red.

Ye Mengmeng nodded, looked at her, and saw that although she was dressed simply, she was generous and her temperament was very different from that of ordinary girls, so she asked, "What did your family do before?" ”

"Miss Hui, when the slave maid was in her hometown, there were two silk shops at home."

"Shop?" Ye Mengmeng's eyes lit up. "So you're literate?"

Zhang Yundie blushed and nodded.

"Literate, plan to plate, do accounts, slaves and maids will know a little."

Ye Mengmeng nodded, knowing in her heart, and motioned for the others to continue.

The fate of the next few girls is about the same as Liu Xiaohua, some have been sold by their families since they were children, and some of them have sold themselves when their families are in trouble. There are also two girls who are born to the family in the house.

Wen asked her daughter quietly: "These girls look cool, or are they all in your room?" ”

"All in my room?" Ye Mengmeng couldn't help but laugh. "Mother, it's useless to have too many people, but it's naughty, I'll just pick two." After speaking, he pointed to Zhang Yundie and Liu Xiaocui.

"You two stay, and the others can leave."

Zhang Yundie and Liu Xiaocui glanced at each other, both surprised and a little puzzled.

In terms of appearance and eloquence, the two of them are not outstanding, who knew that they were picked by the young lady......

The other girls retreated disappointed. Wen couldn't help but ask: "Daughter, how can two girls be enough?" Why don't you give Qiu Ping and Su Xiang to you? ”

Qiu Ping and Su Xiang are the two girls.

Ye Mengmeng shook her head and said, "No, mother, two girls are enough." ”

The girl in the house is not at ease, who knows if she was bought?

She raised her eyes and looked at the girl she had chosen, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Mother, you see, Liu Xiaocui is strong, Zhang Yundie is delicate, the two of them are just one and the other, an excellent match, haha!"

"......," Wen sighed, "whatever you want." Mother go to the yard for a walk, you can lecture yourself. ”

Since this daughter came back, she has become too assertive, and she won't listen to her father and mother at all.

Ye Mengmeng nodded, and after her mother left, she called the two girls and said, "You two have to change their names too." Zhang Yundie is called Yundie, Xiaocui is younger than Yundie, so he simply follows the word 'cloud' and calls Yuncui. ”

Yundie Yuncui was also well-behaved, and responded: "Yes." ”

Ye Mengmeng said again: "Now, since you two are with me, it is a fate." Follow Miss Ben, do your job well, do your part, Miss will never treat you badly. ”

The two girls glanced at each other and said in unison, "Wake up." ”

After planning at home for a few days, early in the morning of the fourth day, Ye Mengmeng took Ye Chengxuan to set off to inspect Taohuazhuang.

Ye Chengxuan has been very busy with several shops recently, and he didn't want to go, but he just thought about it, the location of Taohuazhuang is relatively remote, and Mengmeng is not at ease to go alone, so he has to put down the shop and follow his sister to Taohuazhuang.

In order to facilitate travel, Ye Mengmeng added a new carriage a few days ago, so this time the brother and sister don't need to take the same carriage when they go out, and they can also bring their personal girls to walk with the little girl.

Ye Chengxuan and his little servant Ah Fu sat in an old carriage.

And Ye Mengmeng took the two new big girls to the new carriage.

The two maids, Yun Die and Yun Cui, had just followed their master, and they went out to run errands on the second day, so they were naturally very excited.

It's just that Yuncui has a lively and straightforward personality, and she is the most close to her master, and she has been chatting with the young lady in the carriage, and she has never been quiet.

But Yun Die has a quiet temperament, and she speaks softly, and she can only catch a sentence when she is half loud.

Ye Mengmeng looked at the two girls and was very satisfied.

Yun Cui muttered for a while, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Miss, where are we going?" ”

Ye Mengmeng "poofed" and smiled: "It's been so long since you came out, did you remember to ask where to go?" ”

"Hehe, you didn't tell me, how do I know?"

Yuncui was born in a peasant family, with a lively and straightforward personality, and he has only been in the house for a few days, and he went directly to work without any training, so he is naturally not very familiar with the etiquette in the big family.

Yuncui is different, she has a quiet personality, and her family is relatively solid before she sells herself, and she used to have a girl herself, so she is naturally more sensitive to the rules, and she frowned and said: "I don't want you in front of Miss, didn't I just tell you last night?" Why can't you remember? ”

Yun Cui stuck out her tongue.

"It's not a big deal." Ye Mengmeng smiled. "When the three of us are in one place, the rules can be relaxed a little, and we don't have to be so particular."

Yun Cui turned her head to look at Yun Die, and said with a smug smile: "Look, Miss herself said that we ...... of us."

Yun Die gave her a blank look.

However, Ye Mengmeng immediately added: "...... It's just that when outsiders are present, the etiquette that should be observed still has to be observed, you know? ”

"Got it, Miss!"

Ye Mengmeng nodded, turned her head to Yun Die and said, "Yun Die, you know a lot about this, teach her well when you are free." ”

"Yes, Miss!"

Ye Mengmeng sighed and said: "I'm a person with a more open-minded temperament, paying attention to big things, not being confused, and not caring about small things. Be casual in front of me, informal, and it's not a big problem. I'm afraid that 9 when outsiders are present, let outsiders see it, go out and chew the root of the tongue, saying that our Hou Mansion has no rules and regulations, and even the girl can't discipline well, then it will affect the reputation of the Hou Ye and his wife, which is not good. Got it? ”

Before the two girls sold themselves, they heard others say that the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion was rough and irritable, and she would kill the girls if she didn't agree with her, and they were very afraid. Now it seems that the rumors are indeed rumors, and they cannot be taken seriously at all. They are really lucky to meet such an easy-going and easy-to-get along master!!

Thinking like this, Yun Die Yuncui's face became solemn, and she responded: "Yes, miss, the slave remembers." ”
