On the day of choosing a girl, Chunying got up early to freshen up, changed into a white cloth shirt and a bean green skirt, held her beard, tied it with a red head rope, and dressed up refreshingly and neatly.

She had already inquired about the second lady of the Hou Mansion who liked to dress up neatly and cleanly and speak smartly, thinking that she was not very bad, she should still have a chance. The taboo road mother of the Hou Mansion has also said it, and she has practiced etiquette and other things several times. Although kneeling down to someone is a depressing thing, as long as you don't care about it, it's actually nothing. The hotel where she interned had a Japanese-style restaurant, and no matter how famous the guests were, or how pomp and circumstance, didn't they have to eat on their knees when they got there? She treats them like cutlery.

After dressing up, she took a few photos of her mother's bronze realm, and estimated that there was no problem, before closing the mirror box and sighing secretly.

Actually, she doesn't really care if she can be selected. In the past, she was willing to enter the house because her family was not good and she wanted to help her family, but now that the family's economic situation has improved, she is still willing to go in, but she doesn't want to go against her parents' wishes.

In the past few months, sometimes in the middle of the night, she thought of her real parents, and she also looked forward to it, and when she woke up from sleep, she would return to that little room of her own, but when she woke up in the morning and saw the roof again, she realized that it was just a fantasy. She couldn't help but secretly cry twice, and then she was doubly good to her current parents, looking at them, as if she had seen the real parents.

Mother Lu babbled and told her to pay attention to: "The place to choose people is a courtyard, you go in, and you can stand wherever others tell you to stand, since someone tells you what to do, you are obedient." Keep your eyebrows low, don't look around, speak clearly and clearly when you reply, not too loud, not too quiet......"

"Got it, mother! You've said it a hundred and eighty times! Chunying smiled and made the two handkerchiefs she had recently embroidered into a small bag, took them with her, and asked, "Mother, did you really send something to Aunt Guan yesterday?" ”

"Of course." Mother Lu said, "I gave a load of white rice, half a pig, two purses and a pair of red gold bracelets." She has already agreed, as long as you pass the first level, she will naturally arrange it. Then he lowered his voice, "I specially confessed, if the second lady already has someone there, don't embarrass her, just send you to the eldest and youngest grandmother, I heard that there will be a little girl there." Seeing Chunying's surprised face, she blinked and smiled: "Your father doesn't know about this, don't say anything." ”

Chun Ying thought about it, understood her mother's intentions, and hugged her happily.

At this time, Lu Yougui pushed the door in a little anxious and came in: "Why don't you leave?" Hurry! We're ready to start firing! ”

Mother Lu jumped up when she heard this: "What?!" Has it already begun? Fast! Chun'er, let's go, remember not to be afraid, there is Aunt Xu today, and others dare not pretend to be ghosts. ”

Chunying hurriedly responded, carrying a small bag and hurriedly walking out the door.

As soon as I went out, I saw that Sister Feng Lian, who was a neighbor, also stepped out of the door. She was dressed up very brightly today, wearing a pink floral dress to add a bit of beauty, her hair was still wearing delicate silk flowers, and her face was also coated with grease powder, when she looked up and saw Chunying, she was stunned at first, and then she stood there curtly and didn't speak.

Chunying smiled at her and nodded: "Morning, you're going out too?" ”

"Ah...... It's ......" Sister Lian didn't know what to say, and lowered her head and dragged the corner of the sweat towel, a little twisted.

Chunying didn't have time to talk to her, so she walked directly towards the courtyard gate, and the window of the west wing of the main house in the north opened with a bang, startling her, it turned out to be Liu Xi'er.

Liu Xi'er's hair was still a little messy, she was wearing thin clothes, she seemed to have just gotten up, she ignored Chunying, only stared at Sister Lian with a pair of eyes, and asked: "You came to reconcile with me yesterday, and asked me to borrow clothes and fat powder, just for this?!" ”

Sister Lian bit her lip and didn't speak, Xi'er sneered: "Okay, okay, you can go into the mansion by yourself and enjoy the blessings, if you have something to do, you have to come to me again!" With that, he snapped the window shut again, and no more sound could be heard. Sister Lian's eyes were red and she whimpered in a low voice.

Chun Ying hesitated for a moment, but still turned to leave.

The place to choose the girl's little girl is in a courtyard not far from the back door of the Hou Mansion. It takes five or six minutes to walk from the back street to the back door. Chunying almost trotted there. When they arrived at the door, there were already thirty or forty people waiting, and more than a dozen of them were young people who should be selected, and their parents and elders kept telling them, and when they heard Chunying's footsteps, a few people looked up.

Chunying lowered her head slightly, trotted into the door, and the mother-in-law who was already waiting there scolded: "Why is it so late? Why don't you get in yet?! She shrank her head and entered the courtyard, and saw that there were already twenty or thirty little girls waiting in line, and several housekeepers' daughters-in-law in front of her were on the roster, and they had already clicked to the second row, and she quietly lined up in the last row, and after a while, Sister Feng Lian also arrived.

After the roll call and the roster, the housekeeper began to speak. Chun Ying recognized that the person who spoke the precept was Aunt Xu, who had seen it once, and among the few people next to her, there was also Aunt Guan, who had been secretly entrusted by Mother Lu, and when she saw that she looked over, she also made a look. She hurriedly lowered her head and behaved obediently according to the qualifications she had practiced at home.

After Mrs. Xu lectured, she began to ask questions one by one. Chunying listened to her questions mainly about her age, the names of her parents, and what she would do, and there was nothing difficult to answer, and she was a little relieved.

There are a lot of little girls who came today, and there are a few beautiful and working people in front of them, and they are also articulate in their speech, all of them are called by Aunt Xu to stand next to them, they should be selected, and their little faces are full of joy, and the mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law next to them are also secretly discussing which one will be sent to which master. Chun Ying heard Sister Lian's breathing gradually getting heavier next to her, and she seemed to be a little restless.

When the sun rose in the middle of the sky, it was finally Chunying's turn.

After asking three basic questions, Aunt Xu glanced at Chunying a few times and smiled slightly: "I seem to have seen this girl somewhere...... Strange and familiar. Chun Ying knew this, and her expression became more docile.

Aunt Guan on the side said with a smile: "I heard that this girl has good needlework, and she is also smart, I think the second lady will like it?" But another daughter-in-law interjected with a smile: "Aunt Guan, there are already a lot of girls in the second miss, besides, isn't this Lu Chun'er a well-known nerd?" She just said a few words, and you can see that she is clever? The two glanced at each other, and Chun Ying seemed to hear the sound of electric flashing, blinking, only staring at a small patch of moss on the ground in front of her, pretending not to hear anything.

Aunt Xu cleared her throat, and when she saw that the daughter-in-law and Aunt Guan had closed their mouths, she asked Chunying lightly: "Do you know how to do embroidery?" Did you bring any work? ”

"Yes." Chun Ying hurriedly opened the small bag with the belt and let her see the handkerchief she had embroidered. Aunt Xu rolled her eyes, was noncommittal, and returned it to her.

The daughter-in-law smiled at this time and said: "Aunt Xu, it just so happens that the needlework room also has to recruit people, if this child is ......" "She is too young to be a needlework room at her age!" Aunt Guan interrupted her, "There should be a few more people in the young lady's room." The daughter-in-law glanced at her with a smile: "Then why don't you send it to the third lady?" Second Miss in the house...... There are six of them...... There's only one over there......"

The two fired a few more eye knives at each other. Aunt Guan was probably too old to resist it, so she had to hold back her anger and change her words: "In my opinion, her needlework is not better than others, since the second lady already has someone there, it is better to send it to the eldest young grandmother, there is no one there at the eldest young grandmother!" ”

The daughter-in-law was stunned, thinking about it, it was nothing, but she was not convinced by Aunt Guan's meaning, so she said: "This must always ask the wife, the matter in the young master's house, we dare not make the decision on our own, we always have to speak to the wife, don't you say?" Guan-Da-Niang-" Aunt Guan immediately sank her face.

"That's it!" Aunt Xu stopped the two of them, looked at Chunying, and said, "Since this is the case, I will send it to the ......" Before the words fell, she was interrupted: "Yo-what is this doing?" Then there was a gust of fragrant wind blowing over, Chun Ying sneaked a glance out of the corner of her eyes, and saw that it was a woman in her twenties, dressed in fat pink and fragrant, wearing a water-red satin armor, quite a bit of posture. She was followed by a middle-aged woman in her thirties and forties, who was also dressed extraordinarily, but she was quite low-key, and she could see that she was a housekeeper. As soon as Aunt Xu saw her, she bowed her head slightly and saluted, and the other party returned the salute.

The woman wearing water red didn't seem to see it, and as soon as she came over, she pulled Aunt Guan and smiled: "Who is the aunt angry with?" Under the big sun, the more noisy the more angry, why is this so painful? ”

Aunt Guan crooked her mouth, broke away her hands, and said, "It's just that where should a little girl be sent, just say a few words to the Lu family, who quarreled with others?" ”

"But why do I think the two of you are so angry?" The woman chuckled and turned her head to look at Chunying, "Is this the little girl?" It's still beautiful, but why can't I see that she is worth arguing about? ”

Chunying secretly spit out, where is this for her? It's just for the sake of face. She finally understood, this Aunt Guan took the Cui family girl to see Mrs. last time, she must be Mrs.'s person, but today it seems that she sent several people into the second lady's room, probably someone can't get used to it, right?

Sure enough, the daughter-in-law of the Nalu family said with a smile: "I didn't talk about it, besides, this girl has a place to go, which is in the grandmother's house." ”

The woman's face changed, and she slowly smiled: "What's going on?" Isn't it the girl who chooses the ladies and the little girls of the young masters? When is there going to be someone in the eldest young master's house? Our second young master...... I've never heard of it, but I want to add people! ”

The Lu family still smiled: "Is there still a shortage of people in the second young master's house?" The eldest young grandmother has just entered the mansion and is about to be called, this girl has good needlework, so the two eldest ladies plan to send her to the eldest and young grandmother. ”

Aunt Xu frowned when she heard this, and sure enough, the woman lowered her face: "Our young master just said yesterday that we are going to add a needlework!" Few of the sisters in the house can do their jobs now! She glanced at Chunying, then turned around and smiled at the middle-aged woman: "Mother Wang, look...... Why don't you just call us this girl? ”

Chunying's eyes widened and she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at her.

Who did she recruit to provoke whom, why did this person find her? She is not interested in waiting for the legendary second young master who is very perverted!

But what made her little heart tremble and slowly mentioned it was that the middle-aged woman actually said to Aunt Xu: "Brother and sister, this girl ......"

(My poor little Chun'er, tears of sympathy for her...... Sorry for being late today. ）
