When Yao Muwan arrived in the courtyard, she was able to understand Chen's expression when she wanted to speak and stopped.

"I've seen the princess, the villain is the princess, these are the people brought by the villain."

"I've seen the princess Niangniang, the old woman is called Mrs. Zhang, these are the people brought by the old woman."

"Villain Zhao Lao Er ······"

There were a total of five people standing in this courtyard, and each of them brought more than 20 people to Yao Muwan to choose, fortunately, this courtyard is large, otherwise, I am afraid that even so many people will not be able to stand.

Just looking at these people, Yao Muwan felt a little headache, and rubbed her forehead helplessly, she first asked people to move a chair for herself, the Chen family and Yao Changxuan, and planned to sit and choose slowly.

Yao Muwan thought that the whole afternoon of today would be spent on this, but it was okay, Jin Yungui couldn't do anything during this time, and she also felt a little bored.

"That's it, there are so many of you, I can't see them one by one, so let's stand separately first, eight to twelve years old here, thirteen to sixteen years old here, seventeen to twenty-two years old here, and the rest over there."

Soon, Yao Muwan classified those people according to their age, and after listening to her words, those people quickly stood in the corresponding position according to their age.

Seeing such a situation, Yao Muwan nodded secretly, not to mention anything else, just to say that the rules of these people are still very good.

But among so many people, there was another one, and it was a lonely little girl, with a round face and some baby fat, and she stood there like that, with a little panic on her face.

Yao Muwan quickly noticed her, and when she looked at her, she obviously felt the uneasiness in her eyes.

"What's wrong with you, why don't you stand up?"

The little girl looked thin, which did not match her face, and her skin was sallow, and she looked malnourished.

In this way, Yao Muwan is a little unsure of her age, and can only see that she should not be more than ten years old.

"I, I, the slave doesn't know how old I am!"

When the little girl saw Yao Muwan talking to herself, she was still very nervous when she opened her mouth to answer, and she stammered a little when she spoke.

"You don't know how old you are?"

After listening to the little girl's words, Yao Muwan was also a little strange, it stands to reason that such a little girl, as long as she doesn't have some problems with her IQ, how can she not know how old she is.

"I, the slave maid has no parents since she was a child, and she has followed Mrs. Wang since she can remember, so I don't know how old I am."

It turned out to be an orphan, Yao Muwan understood, she didn't know the reason for her age, and she had some pity in her heart, and looking at her clear speech, she had already made a decision in her heart.

"What's your name?"

Yao Muwan asked gently, and gradually the little girl slowly eliminated her nervousness.

"The slave is called Xiaohua."

"You stand there first."

Yao Muwan nodded, and then pointed to the group of people who were eight and ten years old, and asked her to go there and stand there first, and then see what else was going on.

After listening to Yao Muwan's words, Xiaohua stood there very respectfully, at this time she already wanted to stay in her heart, she felt that the good-looking person in front of her must be very kind.

Yao Muwan looked at these people standing separately, there were more people between the ages of ten and twenty, some men and some women, and the older ones were probably around thirty-five to forty-five years old.

These people are all the cooks that Yao Muwan plans to invite, as well as the rough mother-in-law, and there are also a few women in their twenties, with bulging chests, and at a glance, they know that they are women who have just given birth.

Yao Muwan knew that these must have been the nurses brought over by Jin Yungui and brought over by Jin Yungui, so she inadvertently took a large number of them.

"Well, then, according to your age, the literate will stand on the left, and the illiterate will stand on the right."

Since there are so many people, Yao Muwan still wants to choose some who can read, after all, such people are more convenient to use, and sometimes they can learn some things quickly.

Especially the scholars selected for Yao Yuntao and Yao Xue, they should be even more literate.

In this way, there are fewer people standing on the left, after all, how can they be sold to be subordinates, how can they learn to read and write.

The rest is okay, but among those in their thirties and forties, there are very few people who can read and write, only one or two.

To Yao Muwan's surprise, the little girl named Xiaohua just now was actually literate.

In fact, Yao Muwan didn't know that Mrs. Wang originally saw that Xiaohua's foundation was good, and she planned to sell her to the Qinglou, in order to be able to sell her at a good price, so she also invited someone to hand over some words.

It's just that this time she got such an opportunity, Mrs. Wang brought Xiaohua over with her, thinking that if she could be favored by a big family, she might be able to sell it for a better price.

"This literacy or non-literacy is not the only criterion, so do not be proud of those who stand on the left, and do not be disappointed if you stand on the right."

Seeing that those who were standing on the right, those illiterate people had disappointed expressions on their faces, and Yao Muwan came to say something like this again.

Although she really wants to choose to know all the words, if the number is not enough, she can also relax the conditions, after all, as long as she is willing to learn, it is not difficult to know words.

Yao Muwan didn't expect her subordinates to take the top exam or anything, it would be very good to be able to understand some words basically.

After listening to Yao Muwan's words, those standing on the right also showed a hint of hope on their faces, and they all hoped to be selected by her, after this short period of getting along, they all felt that she was a good master.

And those who were standing on the left felt that they had some advantages before, but now after listening to Yao Muwan's words, they were all nervous.

"In this way, you can introduce yourself to each person, what is your name, how old is this year, where you live, and who are the other people in the family."

Yao Muwan thought about it, although she chose someone, she couldn't really be so casual, such a short self-introduction, although she couldn't recognize a person, she could still see something.

In this way, start with the older ones first, so that the younger ones can also see and listen to what they want to say.
