There are two stewards in the Governor's Palace, one is a local hired here, and the other is brought from the capital by Jia Liang.

Xing Shuang called the housekeeper to question, and after asking for a while, he handed over the right to be the steward to the local butler, and the one brought by the capital sent another errand.

When Zhen Yinglian asked, Xing Shuang replied to her like this.

"The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, although the old man is the governor of Liangguang and the largest official position in this area, but this local talent knows the habits of the local people best. The people we brought are certainly easy to use, but they don't understand the language and habits, how can they take care of things for us? ”

Zhen Yinglian nodded, silently taking her wife's words to heart.

Because the maids brought can't be too many, it turns out that none of the sweeping maids at home have been brought over, only four big maids have been brought here, so when they get here, they have to buy people again, Zhen Yinglian is worried about what to do.

Since his wife said that it would be much more convenient to use the locals, she simply called her son in for questioning, and was surprised to learn that there were very few people who sold their bodies here, and most of them were living deeds.

The man said to Zhen Yinglian in half-baked official dialect: "Tell grandma to see the joke, although we are poor here, the girls are not unable to help with the housework, so this sale of daughters is still rare." Most people's daughters will come out to help subsidize the family since they were young.

"Grandma, don't look at their young age, but they are very capable and handy, grandma must not dislike them. Besides, this living deed also has the benefits of living deed, and it requires less wages. Grandma really wants to buy the death deed, I will look for it again, and I will always find it. ”

Zhen Yinglian hurriedly smiled: "I didn't say that I had to die, it's just that this place is different from ours, so I just asked a few words in vain." ”

Then she told her to bring them up and see them.

These dozen or so little girls looked a little dark and thin, with high cheekbones, and red cheeks, as if they had been formed by the sun all year round.

The little girls couldn't speak official language, Zhen Yinglian could only call her son to translate and ask a few questions, nothing more than who was in the family, where they lived, and what they would do.

After the questioning, she personally selected twelve people to come out, and said to her son: "You send these twelve people to the wife's courtyard first, let her choose first." She has chosen, you will send it to the big grandmother's yard, and the remaining four people will bring it back. ”

The girl hurriedly took the people away, and the remaining little girls stayed in the courtyard and looked at Zhen Yinglian curiously. Zhen Yinglian saw that they were pitiful and thin, so she hurriedly asked someone to bring some fruits to eat with them.

Xing Shuang saw that there were so many people who sent it, and when he heard that he was the first to pick for himself, he said in his heart that this Yinglian child had learned the caution of his first entry into Jiafu.

In fact, the people in their own family can't be so polite, it doesn't matter who chooses first, the left is just some rough maids, and they don't need to know too much about the habits of their wives and grandmothers.

But with the kindness of her daughter-in-law, she didn't want to pour cold water, so she chose the oldest of the four grades first.

After the servant left with the people, Xing Shuang called the four people in for questioning, and found that none of them could speak official language.

"When you get here, you have to learn the official language." Xing Shuang smiled kindly: "Although you are all living deeds, you should abide by the rules wherever you go on an errand." ”

A few little girls could understand, but they couldn't say it well, and when they heard that Mrs. was so kind, they were also relieved, and hurriedly replied in localization: "Mrs. taught me a lesson." ”

Xing Xuan smiled again and said, "Not only do you have to learn official dialect, but you also have to teach a few sisters to say a few words about yours." Everyone helps each other and communicates without a problem. ”

A few little girls agreed again, and Xing Shuang asked the names one by one.

It's just that Cantonese sounds a little difficult to understand, Xing Shuang listened to it for a long time before she understood that one of them should be called Ah Ling, the other should be called Aya, and the remaining two, she couldn't hear it.

"It's a problem if you don't understand it." Xing Shuang couldn't help but smile at Jin Chuan and said, "I don't care, you just call it up, and you can't belch and shout." ”

Jin Chuan also smiled: "Their names are simple, and they will gradually understand it in the future, and they will always know it." It's just strange, why are they all Azi, are they all a family? ”

When Xing Shuang heard this, she couldn't help but burst out laughing, and rubbed her intestines for a while, then pointed at Jin Chuan and smiled: "What I don't know, this is their habit of speaking, you will know it in the future." ”

Jin Chuan didn't believe it at first, but after a few days, he really got acquainted with a few little girls, and the official words of a few little girls gradually improved a lot.

"It's also fun, it's just a two-word name, how do you call it?" Jin Chuan smiled and asked Aya, "Is it possible, my name is Ah Chuan?" But my sister's name is Yu Chuan, and she is also Ah Chuan. ”

Aya grinned: "My sister's name is Ah Jin, and my sister's name is Ah Yu." ”

Jin Chuan hurriedly said: "It's not proper, this gold is cheesy, jade is elegant, why does her name sound better than mine." ”

Aya Guan's words were not very fluent, thinking that Jin Chuan was really angry because of her name, and she didn't know how to comfort her, so she hurriedly changed the topic and said: "The day before yesterday, my wife said that I wanted to eat shrimp dumplings, and I went back and asked my grandma, saying that there was no such thing, I'm afraid that my wife remembered wrong." ”

Hearing this, Jin Chuan asked again: "Really not?" Where did the lady hear that? ”

Aya shook her head and said, "I'm afraid that the outsiders have spread to the capital, and the transmission is wrong halfway." ”

Jin Chuan thought for a while and said: "When my wife came, she said that this shrimp dumpling was rumored to be extremely delicious, and she kept saying that she wanted to taste it when she came to Guangzhou. Wouldn't it be disappointing to know that there was no such thing this time? ”

Aya blinked her eyes and thought for a while, "Then why don't we make shrimp dumplings and give them to my wife?" ”

Jin Chuan smiled: "Isn't that bullying?" ”

Aya replied smartly: "Why did you deceive you?" What my wife wants to eat is the shrimp dumplings in Guangzhou, I am from Guangzhou, and the shrimp dumplings I make are not the shrimp dumplings in Guangzhou? ”

Jin Chuan was amused by this little girl, so she really took Aya to the big kitchen, asked for noodles and shrimp, and was worried again.

"My wife only said that the shrimp dumplings were delicious, but she didn't say how to make them."

Aya thought for a while and said, "Make a few more, my sister will taste it first, and then send it to my wife if it is delicious." ”

The two maids tossed in the kitchen all morning, and at noon, Jin Chuan was about to vomit when he ate "shrimp dumplings".

It was easy to pick out the best shrimp dumplings and give them to my wife, but my wife took a look at them and asked, "What is this?" ”

Jin Chuan held the plate and smiled: "This is shrimp dumplings." ”

Xing Shuang was happy: "Are you joking, I heard that the skin of the shrimp dumplings is crystal clear, and you can still see the pink of the whole shrimp inside from the outside, what are you calling shrimp dumplings?" ”
