The next day, before dawn, a blue cloth carriage left the west corner gate of Rongguo Mansion and went straight to Zhuangzi outside the capital. Jia Min listened to the news from Dongmei, smiled mockingly and didn't pay much attention to it. She knew very well what Mother Jia was thinking, but her arrogant mother underestimated Miss Wang too much.

After coming back from Rongxi Hall, Jia Min called the original four second-class maids in. She was not impressed by these four maids, before they got married in the previous life, they couldn't get close to them, and after they got married, they all stayed in Rongguo Mansion and couldn't see each other. She looked at them carefully for a long time, and finally realized that these four were all given to her by the deceased Mrs. Jia, and they were bought for her to be playmates when she was three years old. That year, Jinling's hometown suffered a catastrophe, she returned to her hometown with Mrs. Jia to worship her ancestors, Mrs. Jia took pity on those homeless children after the disaster, and bought a lot, both men and women. Four of these girls were selected and put by her side with good eyes, and now these girls have grown up.

"Tell me your names in turn, how old you are this year, and who else is in your family." Jia Min retracted his gaze and fiddled with the tape on the jade pendant in his hand.

"Slave Xiaohong, seventeen this year, there is no one at home for a long time."

"Slave Xiaolu, fifteen this year, there is an elder brother at home, and now he is the master's groom."

"Slave Xiaolan, she is also fifteen years old this year, and there is no one in the family."

"The slave Xiaohuang is fourteen years old this year, and there is a grandmother at home who has not received any errands."

Dongmei stood beside Jia Min, bent down and whispered in Jia Min's ear: "This Xiao Huang's grandmother is not biological, Xiao Huang was picked up by her grandmother, and her grandmother looks like she has a background." ”

Jia Min looked at Xiao Huang more when he heard this, and saw that her description rules were the best among the four, and she must have been instructed by someone. Take a closer look, it seems that these four people have very good rules, much better than Dongmei and the four of them, obviously there are high-level people to guide them, when did she have such a person in this courtyard?

"I think you learned the rules well, who did you learn from?" Jia Min asked when he thought of it.

Xiao Hong, Xiao Green, and Xiao Lan all looked at Xiao Huang, "Miss Hui, I learned it from the slave's grandmother, the slave's grandmother used to come out of the palace's imperial dining room, and she specialized in medicinal food." ”

When Jia Min heard this, he was happy but his face did not change, "Where is your grandmother now?" ”

Xiao Huang replied: "I'm older, but my body is still strong, and now I live in the lower house in the back street, and I do some needlework every day to pass the time." ”

Jia Min thought that if he could get out of the palace of deceit, he must be a smart person with ability. And she adopted Xiao Huang, an orphan who has no father and mother, which shows that she is also kind-hearted. She suddenly desperately wanted to see this person, and there was a shortage of such people around her. So she quickly decided to reuse these four second-class maids and let them go to the Lin family with her. Jia Min said: "In the future, you will change your name to Hongmei, Green Calyx, Qingzhu and Yao Huang, and first receive a second-class example to study with Dongmei for a period of time, and then you will be promoted to a higher level and receive monthly money." ”

After speaking, Jia Min asked Dongmei to take Xiaohong and the three of them down to tell them to do things, leaving Xiaohuang alone.

"Yao Huang, I want to meet your grandmother, is that okay?"

"The slave maid went home and brought her grandmother to kowtow to the girl, thanking the girl for her grace and giving Yao Huang the opportunity to serve her master!"

"You're not very old, but you're a ghost. Go ahead, and remember to avoid some people. ”

"Slaves know what is important!" After speaking, Yao Huang left.

After Yao Huang left, Dongmei came in and replied, "Steward Lai brought Ya Po over, do you want to see the girl now?" ”

Jia Min stood up: "Go and take a look." As he spoke, Dongmei helped him to the front hall.

In the front hall, Lai Da led a clean and neat mother-in-law to stand there, this mother-in-law should be Ya Po. After Jia Min sat down, Lai Da and the mother-in-law saluted Jia Min, and Jia Min called up and gave up his seat. Neither of them sat down, Lai Dadao: "Third girl, this is Mrs. Zhang of Yaxing." ”

The mother-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to kowtow to Jia Min to say goodbye, and Jia Min said: "Dongmei, help my mother up!" ”

Dongmei stepped forward to help Mrs. Zhang, and returned to Jia Min to stand still.

"The housekeeper said that the girl wanted to choose a few clever people to be the maids to dowry, and the old woman brought some over for the girl to choose from, and the girl just rest assured, those bad ones will not be brought." Mrs. Zhang's face smiled like a chrysanthemum, and she was very curious about this only concubine of Rongguo Mansion, and when she looked up, my obedient, the old woman walked in the big family in this capital all day long, and she had never seen someone more prominent than Jia San. She couldn't take her eyes off that look, that bearing. Dongmei coughed lightly and reminded Mrs. Zhang of her unreasonableness, so that Mrs. Zhang woke up, and hurriedly bowed her head and confessed: "Please forgive the old woman for being unreasonable, the girl was born like a fairy, so that the old woman was stunned!" ”

Jia Min pursed his lips and chuckled: "It's okay, let's call everyone in, hurry up and pick someone, I still have something to do!" ”

Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to be verbose, so she withdrew and called a group of more than a dozen girls in. These girls are neatly dressed, their appearance is not the best or bad, and their actions are very regular.

Jia Min smiled and said to Mrs. Zhang: "These girls are good in terms of rules, it can be seen that Mrs. Zhang can train people." ”

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly smiled and bowed down and said, "I can't afford the girl's praise, and the old woman was carefully selected before she dared to bring the girl to her." ”

Jia Min smiled and nodded, didn't say anything more, but moved her eyes to the girls standing in two rows below. Jia Min saw a pair of twin sisters among them, with a delicate appearance and a slender figure, but their hands and feet were slightly larger than those of ordinary women, and their hands were both knollen, either they often did rough work or had martial arts, and in fact, these two sisters were indeed good at kung fu.

In the last life, Jia Min saw them in the Wang family, and heard that he went to Beijing with his father to find relatives to no avail, and his father was seriously ill and died, and the two sisters had to sell themselves to bury their father. The two are family heirlooms, and their father only has their sisters, and there is no one else in the family. The Wang family bought them at that time, and arranged for them to serve by Wang Ziteng's side, who was more careful than the little servant and could also be used as a guard. I really didn't expect that the two sisters really saved the prince many times.

In this life, she first let Dongmei find them, help them deal with their father's funeral, and then sent them to her side through human teeth.

Jia Min didn't think about it anymore, she asked the names and origins of the dozen girls one by one, drank two sips of tea, thought for a while, put down the tea bowl and said with a smile: "I look satisfied with all of them, but the pair of twin sisters look very interesting, so choose them!" ”

Mrs. Zhang had already been instructed by the boss of the tooth shop, so she didn't say anything more, but led the rest of the girls away.

After they left, Jia Min said to Lai Da, "You can take their deed of sale and give it to me later." ”

Lai said, "Yes, girl." The lord also ordered, and asked the girl to pick out the people who were going to marry, and send the deed of sale of these people to the girl, so that the girl could call. ”

Jia Min smiled and nodded, and let Lai Da go down first.

"Our lord really loves the girl, and he thinks about everything for the girl." Dongmei also said happily.

Jia Min's smile did not change, and said to the sisters standing next to him: "Your father is buried, is there anything else difficult?" ”

Hearing this, the two sisters knelt down in front of Jia Min, kowtowed three times first, and thanked Jia Min for his great kindness with tears. Jia Min took the head and personally helped them up.

"Which of you is the sister and which is the sister?"

The girl in the moon-white dress replied, "If you go back to the girl, the slave is the sister," and pointed to the girl in the blue dress next to her, and said, "This is the slave's sister." ”

"What's your name?" Jia Min asked again.

"Ask the girl to give her a name." The two bowed in unison.

Jia Min's eyes softened when he saw them like this, and he was glad that he had taken the lead and got such two affectionate, righteous, and loyal maids. She thought for a moment and said, "In the future, my sister will be called Mo Lan, and my sister will be called Wei Zi." The sisters hurriedly knelt down and thanked them: "Mo Lan and Wei Zi Xie give their names!" ”

Jia Min asked them to get up and explained: "You first follow Dongmei to learn some rules, and then familiarize yourself with the affairs of my courtyard, as for the example, you will get a second-class one." He turned his head and looked at Dongmei again: "You first find a change of clothes for them, wash and clean up, and arrange a place for them to live, you don't have to let them serve in the past two days, and it's not too late to come back when everything is familiar." ”
