Ya Po came in the afternoon and brought more than 30 maids and mothers-in-law.

The person was chosen by Mama Xu, and she chose to leave six maid rings and six mothers-in-law, which can be regarded as temporarily filling the manpower of Yaoshui Pavilion.

After sending Ya Po away, Mama Xu came in and reported: "Girl, the person has been selected, do you want to see it?" ”

"Bring it in!" Yu Xijiao put down the juanhua road in her hand.

This is the most popular juanhua in the capital now, Yu Xijiao looked at it and felt something, so she specially asked people to bring a few flowers in and take them down to see the craftsmanship.

Qingyue lifted the curtain, and the maids and mothers-in-law who were left behind came in one by one to pay respects.

Several mothers-in-law look quite capable, and two of the Yahuan are the best, and they feel very picky at a glance, but they are also regular in their descriptions.

stepped forward and saluted Yu Xijiao in a proper manner.

"What are these two called?" Yu Xijiao stretched out her hand and pointed to the two prominent maids.

"Girl, one is called Nian Chun, the other is called Nian Xia, if the girl thinks this name is not good, she can change it." Mama Xu said with a smile and stretched out her hand to point over one by one.

Nian Chun is the one who looks a little bigger, his expression looks steady, and he didn't look left and right after entering the door, Nian Xia looked lively, and secretly looked up after coming in, but then he immediately became disciplined, and he didn't dare to look left and right, obviously he was also ordered.

"This name is good, there is no need to change it, who came up with it?" Yu Xijiao said curiously, this name doesn't sound like an ordinary person can come up.

"Report to the girl, the name of the slave was given by Ya Po, and it is said that the girls like elegant names." Nian Chun's respectful report.

"And how many of them have the same good names?" Yu Xijiao smiled, she was talking about a few other maids.

"Girl, their names are different from the names of the slaves and maids, they are taken by Ya Po herself, called Xiu'er, Yu'er, Hua'er, and Cao'er." This time it was Nian Xia who answered, and after his eyes rolled around his bones, the corners of his lips hooked, looking a little disdainful.

This means that the two of them are different.

But looking at this color, it can be seen at a glance that the words and deeds were different from ordinary Yahuan before, and they were obviously specially taught.

The most outstanding of a batch of Yahuan is often sent as a first-class close-fitting Yahuan.

"You two are literate?" Yu Xijiao's gaze swept over the faces of the two people and asked with a smile.

"The slave and the maid are coarse and illustrated, when they were young...... also knew how to read, but later fell into the middle of the road. Nian Chun said softly.

The family is in the middle of the road, which means that the previous family background is not bad, and the daughter of the family can be literate, which shows that it is not an ordinary poor family.

"Two are sisters?" Yu Xijiao continued to ask.

"No, the slave didn't know Nianchun before, but she met later." Nian Xia hurriedly shook his hand.

Yu Xijiao smiled and shook her hand gently, Mama Xu understood, took the person out, and asked when she came in again: "Girl, these two girls are smart and clever when they look at them, and their manners are also generous, do you want to keep one as a big girl?" ”

Yu Xijiao now has only one big girl ring around Qingyu, and the rules of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion are actually two big girl rings, and there is still an available place around Yu Xijiao.

Yu Xijiao picked up the juanhua placed on the side, looked at it, and then removed a thread, and said casually: "Mama Xu thinks that if you keep one, who is the right person to keep?" ”

"The slave maid thinks that Nianchun is suitable, Nianchun looks more stable, whether it is speaking or doing things in an orderly manner, although Nianxia is good, but I always feel a little unstable, compared to Nianchun still feels not enough." Mama Xu frowned and thought about it for a while, the two Yahuan are actually good, but if you have to choose, naturally you chose Nianchun yesterday.

After speaking, Mama Xu asked again, "What does the girl think?" ”

Yu Xijiao stopped, pressed on the flower-core of Juanhua, and said, "Both of them are second-class girl rings first!" ”

"Girl?"

"It's not that the second-class girl ring can't be used, you can take them over these days, and you can also support anything, as for this kind of example, I have to keep it first, the first-class girl ring is a close-fitting big girl ring, if it's not credible, no matter how smart and clever it is, it's useless."

Yu Xijiao said slowly.

Loyalty is the most important thing, she wants to pick a loyal and useful ring, whether it is Nian Chun or Nian Xia, now I don't know how loyalty is, she naturally has to take a test, and she has another idea, she wants to pick a good one of the available Ya rings, it is best to have a little strength.

A powerful Yahuan may play a role that may be turned upside down at a critical time, just like in the follow-up of the lakeside distress that day, if it is a powerful Yahuan, he will not spend so much energy on the layout.

After thinking about it at this point, it is obviously not appropriate to read spring or summer.

"Girl......" Mama Xu looked a little hesitant.

Yu Xijiao raised her eyes and said, "What, there is still something?" ”

"Fang Cai Ya Po told the old slave that these two were raised according to the first-class girl ring, and said that these are the best ones, and I heard that the girl here is short of a first-class girl ring so she specially sent it, and there was a palace before that she also wanted a girl ring, but it was not a first-class girl ring, so Ya Po left these two." Mama Xu said.

Yu Xijiao sneered lightly: "This is two good prices?" ”

"The price is naturally higher than the others, and the slave maid thought that the girl really needed it, so she kept the person." Mama Xu rubbed her hands and said.

"Mama Xu, this is what you promised to Ya Po?" Qingyue was surprised when she heard this.

"Actually, I didn't agree, that is, when I said it, these two maids listened, and the old slave was afraid that they would have some ideas." Mama Xu said.

"It's okay, since you have entered our house, we have arranged it, and we have given Ya Po a lot of silver, and we have the final say on the rest, if the two of them really have any other ideas, it is even more impossible to be a personal maid." Yu Xijiao shook her hand disappreciatively and said, "Actually, I prefer to choose my own personal big girl ring." ”

"Girl!" Mama Xu and Qingyue glanced at each other.

"This matter is not in a hurry for the time being, use it first, Mama Xu also stared at the two of them more, although she was a second-class maid ring and did not enter the house to wait, but it was also very important." Yu Xijiao said.

The first-class maid ring enters the master's house to wait, and the second-class maid ring only enters the house to wait when the eldest girl ring is not there.

"The old slave understands, and the old slave is also reminding the girl." Mama Xu nodded again and again, relieved in her heart, she was afraid that these two girls would have ideas, and after the girl was frustrated here, she had two intentions, and she was afraid that there would be some accidents when the girl used them in the future.

The master of this house must be the lady, and the lady knows best what her own girl is like, and the people around them know best, and they need to be more careful.

Yu Lanyan's courtyard is very large, this is the best courtyard in the Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion, but now it is very deserted.

With Yu Lanyan's marriage, there are only a few rough mothers-in-law and maid rings left, when Yu Lanxuan was preparing the dowry, Yu Lanyan was also busy preparing here, and now she can go more, and the rest are not gone, this will also help in front, but now there is only Hongxi and a maid ring left.

Her name has actually gone to the Xinkang Mansion, and it is the person that Yu Lanyan needs to bring over, and it is also sneaky to stay here now.

When the sky darkened, a little girl hurriedly came over with a food basket, and as soon as she entered the yard, she called out: "Sister Hongxi, Sister Hongxi." ”

"Why are you here so late?" The door to the first room on the right opened, and Hongxi walked out, her face full of displeasure.

"Sister Hongxi, the kitchen is busy, and they are all preparing tomorrow's dishes." Xiao Yahuan wiped a handful of sweat and put down the food basket in her hand.

Tomorrow is the day of the great funeral, and there are many people who come, so the dishes must be prepared early.

Hongxi frowned, and didn't rush to carry the food basket: "Outside...... What's going on today? ”

"Yes...... Something. When Xiao Yahuan heard her ask, she suddenly thought of something, her voice trembled, and she looked back at the courtyard gate, and suddenly became frightened.

"What's the matter?" Hongxi hurriedly asked, she has been panicking for the past two days, especially after hearing about last night's incident, she is even more panicked today, the county gentleman's coffin is bleeding, what does that mean? It's fake, isn't it?

"I heard that today the eldest girl and the third girl from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion next door stepped forward to touch the coffin, and both of their fingers bleeded later, the kind that bleeds without a wound...... No...... I don't know if it's true. Xiao Yahuan stammered, she was not there at the time, and it was also hearsay.

But even if it's hearsay, it's going to be a panic.

"Again...... Bleeding? Hongxi's eyes straightened, her fingers spasmed, and she clasped tightly, "It's still big...... Girl? ”

"Right...... It is the eldest girl and the third girl of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. Xiao Yahuan looked left and right, and inexplicably felt that the courtyard was a little empty, and then leaned in front of Hongxi and said, "Sister Hongxi...... It is said that the county monarch has appeared, and when the county monarch was there, he was powerful, and now it is even more powerful...... It's hurt. ”

The more Xiao Yahuan thought about it, the more scared she became, her lips turned pale, she didn't dare to stay here anymore, there were too few people here, and the sky was dark, she was afraid!

Hurriedly threw down the food basket and hurried back, she had to go to the crowded kitchen to help, and she wouldn't be afraid when she got there.

Hongxi bit her lip and watched Xiao Yahuan leave in a panic, her face turned white, her eyes looked in the direction of the fire at that time, and she was also horrified.

After thinking about it, she knelt down in that direction, and there were words in her mouth: "County gentleman, the slave maid doesn't want to harm you, the slave maid just listened to the words of the third girl, if you want to find the third girl and the second lady, it was the third girl and the second lady who let the slave and maid do it, the county gentleman can rest assured, the slave and the maid will give you an offering every year in the future, if you ...... If you want revenge, take revenge on the third girl and the second lady...... Slaves...... The slave is just a maid, don't dare not listen! ”

As he spoke, he kowtowed a few times in that direction, and then raised his head, his expression was much more natural.

patting the dust on the corner of her skirt, Hongxi reached out to pick up the food basket, and suddenly heard a voice "flutter", like laughter, in her ears.

I looked up in a panic, but found that there was nothing around, and when I looked up, the yard was already half dark, and there seemed to be something shaking between the shadows, and the hairs on the vest stood up, and I screamed, tripped over the corner of my skirt, and sat down on my knees with a "plop......
