Chapter 39: Picking People

On June 18, when Mrs. Ya brought seven or eight girls over, Mrs. Mo went to the neighbor's house, so Zhu asked Mrs. Ya to bring everyone to her courtyard, and then asked Hongyu to call Mo Li and Mo Xue over.

"I know that my wife is going to pick a good maid for the girl, so I specially chose these sensible people to come over and show my wife today." After Ya Pozi asked the girls to stand up, she smiled and said to the Zhu family on the seat.

When Mo Li led Mo Xue into the hall of the Zhu family, she happened to see the row of girls standing in the center of the hall, ranging from seven or eight years old to sixteen or seventeen years old. I saw all of them dressed simply, most of them lowered their heads and drooped their faces, and only two small ones occasionally raised their eyes, looked around timidly, and then hurriedly lowered their eyes.

Mo Xue sat down next to Zhu, looked back and forth a few times curiously, and then turned her head and asked, "Are they the maids that my mother picked for me?" ”

Mo Li was looking at the children carefully, and suddenly heard Mo Xue's innocent words, the expression on his face couldn't help but relax, followed by a silent smile. It just so happened that one of the girls who looked at the girl who was about sixteen or seventeen raised her face, and when she saw Mo Li smiling, she was slightly stunned, until Mo Li looked at her, she lowered her face, and there was no panic on her face. Although it is just a movement of raising and lowering the eyes, it gives people a very decent feeling, which is not quite the same as an ordinary maid.

Mo Li also noticed the other party, so he took a look, and saw that the girl was wearing a green cloth skirt, the material had been washed white, and there were still patches in two places if you looked closely. However, the body is very clean, and the hair is neatly combed, but the skin is slightly dark, but the facial features are good, and the figure looks good. Among the girls brought by Ya Pozi today, there are four who have combed their hair, except for another one who has a whiter complexion and looks good, and this one looks more pleasing to the eye.

Zhu smiled and nodded Mo Xue's face: "Greedy, which is all for you, I will choose one of these for you, and I will follow you to serve you and play with you in the future." ”

"Play with me!" Mo Xue's eyes widened curiously, and then she immediately turned her head and looked at the girls one by one, thinking about who would be her playmate.

After a while, Mo Li turned his head to look at Zhu's family, and after Zhu swept around, he asked about the respective situations of the girls, and he had a rough idea in his heart, and then ordered a few individual questions that looked pleasing to the eye. Then she asked the two good-looking girls and a little girl who had just turned eight years old to come forward, but she was not in a hurry to ask, but looked carefully.

Mo Li watched silently from the side, and couldn't help but think of the past again. Back then, when the Zhu family was about to pick a maid for Mo Xue, but at that moment, Mo Liujin suddenly had an accident, so the matter was put on hold. Then she got married in a hurry, followed by Mo Liujin's death, and then the people in the family walked and scattered, in such a bleak situation, the Zhu family had no intention of picking another maid, and within a few years, the Zhu family also went with Mo Liujin. And Mo Xue has been following Mrs. Mo until she is about to get married, and Mrs. Mo will pick two good maids for her, but Mo Xue will be nearly fifteen years old.

Just as she was out of her mind, Mo Xue had already turned her head and asked the Zhu family: "Does my mother choose them?" ”

"Look, it doesn't fit your eyes." Zhu Shi was noncommittal, but said with a smile.

Mo Xue thought about it, then slid down from the chair, and then walked up to the eight-year-old girl first, and then opened her mouth to ask, "What's your name?" ”

"I, my name is Siniu." The little girl was born stocky, with a round face, and she was slightly taller than Mo Xue, so the two children stood together like this, and it was very pleasing to look at.

"Four girls." Mo Xue read it tenderly, thought about it, and then asked stupidly, "Siniu, are you willing to follow me in the future?" ”

"I, I do!" Si Niu hurriedly raised her face and nodded vigorously.

"Why?" Mo Xue blinked and looked at each other curiously, this was the first time she had chosen a maid for herself, and she really felt fresh.

Si Niu opened her mouth slightly, and looked at Mo Xue a little stupidly, and then came over for a while before she was stunned: "Because, because the girl is good, she is also good-looking." ”

I have to say such a compliment coldly, or a compliment from a child who is about the same age as myself, which is completely different from the feeling of hearing the praise of the elders in the past. Mo Xue seemed to be a little embarrassed suddenly, so she was happy, and then said to the fourth girl: "I, I'm not good-looking, my sister is good-looking." And as she spoke, she pulled Siniu's clothes and gestured to Mo Li.

The fourth girl followed her boldly and raised her face, glanced at Mo Li, and after looking at the girl in the red and dark flower gauze shirt on the seat, she froze for a while, until Mo Li looked at her, she hurriedly lowered her eyes, and then blushed and whispered to Mo Xue: "Like, like a fairy!" ”

"Mm-hmm, everybody says that!" Hearing her sister being praised, Mo Xue nodded stupidly and happily.

After Siniu glanced at Mo Xue, she whispered again: "Aunt, when the girl grows up, she will be so good-looking." ”

Mo Xue was stunned for a moment, then blinked and muttered quietly: "Really? ”

Si Niu nodded definitely, her round face still red. Ya Pozi originally wanted to scold the four girls not to talk nonsense, but after looking at the corners of Zhu's mouth that had been smiling, she didn't open her mouth in a funny way. Mo Li glanced back and forth at the little girl who was standing next to each other and muttering, only to feel that her little sister was lined with that silly girl, and she looked even more stupid, but she did have a little innocent smile on her face than before.

Mother is right, she should find a playmate for Mo Xue, she is ten years older than Mo Xue, and she has not been able to play together since she was a child, especially now she is not as good as she was back then. On the side of relatives, there are almost no children who are as old as Mo Xue and can get close. And these maids in the family, whether they are in the Zhu family's house or the old lady, are all old and sensible. This child is afraid that he has been lonely since he was a child.

After Zhu called Mo Xue back to his side, he asked the mother-in-law: "Are these children signing a living deed or a death deed?" ”

Seeing that the Zhu family intended to move, Ya Pozi stepped forward and replied with a smile: "Mrs. Hui, there are people who sign a living deed and a death deed, I don't know which one my wife has taken a fancy to?" ”

Zhu thought about it, and didn't say his intentions, but said, "Which ones are the ones who signed the death deed?" ”

This kind of business has been done for a long time, and Ya Pozi also understands that the buyer does not want her to take the opportunity to raise the price, but looking at today's trip, it should not be in vain, so she no longer has mushrooms, so she first pointed to the four girls and said: "The three called out by the wife are all signed death deeds, and the younger one is from a farmer's family, because the family wants to marry a daughter-in-law for her son, and there is no silver in her hand, so she ruthlessly asked me to find a good master's family." After Ya Pozi finished talking about the four girls, she pointed to the white-skinned girl and said, "This sister was sold as a last resort after the previous master's family was down, so she is no stranger to serving people, if Mrs. buys her, it will be her blessing and Mrs. Fu." After Ya Pozi laughed, she then pointed to the slightly dark-skinned girl and said briefly, "This sister's name is Mo'er, she was born in the Yongzhou Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, and she was sold to me by the master because she had committed some things before." ”

Yongzhou Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, suddenly hearing this name, Mo Li's heart moved. Back then, no, maybe now, with the relationship between Master Mo San, Han Sidao's friendship with the Yongzhou Weaving and Dyeing Bureau was not shallow.

"What did you do?" Without waiting for Zhu to speak, Mo Li asked.

Ya Pozi was still waiting for Zhu's words, and she didn't want the girl on the seat to speak first, so she was a little embarrassed for a while. It is said that in her line of work, this kind of offender generally does not hide from the buyer, but how to say things well, this is a tricky job.

"It was the wrong word, and the weavers in the weaving and dyeing bureau took the wrong job." When Ya Pozi was hesitating, she didn't want Mo'er to open her mouth by herself, and when she spoke, her face was still a little lonely.

"How long have you been working at the Yongzhou Weaving and Dyeing Bureau? What is the main difference? ”

"Back girl, I joined the weaving and dyeing bureau at the age of eight, and it has been nine years since I reached this year, and I have done almost everything, and I only managed some chores with the director three years ago."

Mo Li's mind was moved, but his face did not move, he just thought about it for a while, then turned his head and glanced at Zhu Shi and said, "Which one is my mother going to choose for Xue'er?" ”

Zhu asked Ya Pozi to take all the children out of the hall and wait in the courtyard first, and then asked Mo Xue: "Which one does Xue'er want?" ”

Mo Xue looked at the Zhu family, then at Mo Li, and thought for a while before saying, "Do I want four girls?" ”

Mo Li smiled and said to the Zhu family: "What does my mother think?" ”

"I'm a little younger, but since I'm from a farming family, I should be able to work, and my temperament looks solid and cheerful, so it should be good to let Hongyu teach some things well in the future." Zhu touched Mo Xue's head, and after finishing speaking, he glanced at Mo Li, "Lili just took a fancy to that girl?" She was referring to Mo'er.

Ya Pozi didn't come in outside, Mo Li glanced there, and then said in a low voice: "I was born in the Yongzhou Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, and I have been in it for so long, I am a rare talent, I may help our family's business in the future, mother, you will definitely buy this person later." ”

"Didn't you say that you came out because of a crime, this ......?"

"Maybe she was framed by someone, just now Ya Pozi was a little hesitant, but she said it so calmly, it can be seen that she is upright in her heart, and the relationship between Yongzhou Weaving and Dyeing Bureau and other fertile places must be extremely complicated." Mo Li pondered for a while, and then said, "Mother, you can call the tooth woman in and ask carefully, if there is really no problem, buy it together with the four girls." ”
