There are a total of seven concubines in the mansion, except for Liu Xiaoxiang and Fan Li, the other five Gu Man are not very familiar, because several of them are playing soy sauce in the Hou Mansion, and every time they come to the skewer field, filling the number of people, there is no big sense of existence.

Therefore, Gu Man and Ji Moyan had to observe one by one to see if it was a good seedling who could help Ji Moyan's housekeeper.

In the past, several concubines needed to go to the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion every morning to ask for peace, but since Gu Man came, they canceled this tiring greeting to Hou. And Ji Moyan was even more unaccustomed to it, and also canceled the daily greetings.

In the past, Cheng Mo couldn't love it, looking at the women in the courtyard who were brought into the house by Cheng Mo one after another, he was jealous in his heart, and he had to find trouble every day, either kneeling or being scolded, and the concubines were also miserable. Now there is no need to say good morning, they are naturally happy to relax.

Today, Gu Man and Ji Moyan took the initiative to invite several concubines to come for tea, and of course they also invited Fan Li. They can secretly guard against her, but they can't isolate her openly, after all, Fan Li hasn't done anything out of the ordinary now, or she hasn't found out in front of the door.

Fan Fence is different from Liu Xiaoxiang, Liu Xiaoxiang itself is relatively simple, so it is easy to be skepted by others, but Fan Fence is really scheming! Previously, Liu Xiaoxiang and Gu didn't deal with each other, and it was also this Fan fence who colluded next to Liu Xiaoxiang, which led to a discordant relationship between the two of them, making both of them not treated well by Cheng Mo. Fortunately, Liu Xiaoxiang still has some brains and means in Cheng Mo's body, so she is not disgusted by Cheng Mo like Gu anymore.

The concubines were all nervous, and on the way here, several people were guessing what the two ladies were doing when they suddenly called them here, but they couldn't guess anything.

In recent days, everyone has been drinking well water and not interfering with river water, and I really can't think of why.

Among the group, only Liu Xiaoxiang is more calm and calm, since the last time Gu Man and Ji Moyan helped Liu Xiaoxiang solve her father's problem, Liu Xiaoxiang has special respect for them, especially Gu Man.

In the past, Liu Xiaoxiang had to take two mouthfuls when she passed by Gu Man's yard, but now she came to chat with Gu Man every day to relieve her boredom, as if the two had been friends for many years, at first, Gu Man was really a little uncomfortable.

Fan Li originally wanted to have a good relationship with Ji Moyan, but no matter how she showed her affection, Ji Moyan always seemed to be faint, so after a few days, she no longer had a hot face against her cold ass, but she was very depressed and angry in her heart.

After the concubines came, they were all quiet like quails, bowing their heads and not daring to speak, and the whole atmosphere was very serious and depressing.

And Gu Man did this on purpose, in order to see who among these individuals could do things.

If you call them here suddenly, if you are a coward, you will definitely be very nervous, and if so, you will definitely not be able to take the responsibility of managing this big Hou Mansion.

Gu Man picked up the teacup, wiped the floating tea leaves with the tea lid, and took a sip gently, but the rest of his eyes were staring at everyone's every move.

The two concubines at the end, one wearing red and the other wearing green, the two of them pressed their heads low, Gu Man couldn't even see the appearance of the two clearly, only knew that one of them was called Hongying and the other was called Luwu. Both of them were brought back by Cheng Mo when they sold themselves to bury their fathers. I saw that one of her clenched her fists, and the other wrung her handkerchief, and she was about to tremble nervously.

Hey, these two are too timid, pass!

Then there were the two in front of Hongying and Luwu, these two people looked relatively calm, one stared blankly and didn't know what to think, and the other frowned, a little impatient.

One of the two is called Lily, that is, the one with dull eyes, her appearance is the most outstanding among the concubines, it is said that she was taken by the bully, and she wanted to snatch it back to be a concubine, and she also beat her father lame, and then happened to be seen by Cheng Mo, and beat the bully away, her father was grateful to Cheng Mo for saving his life, and he was afraid that his daughter would be bullied again, so he insisted on being a concubine or maid for Cheng Mo, and then Cheng Mo brought someone back.

It's a poor person, you can think about it.

The other is called Jin Lian, who is said to be a thief who stole money from Cheng Mo one day and was arrested by Cheng Mo. Knowing that Cheng Mo was a big official, he told Cheng Mo that he was actually abducted by traffickers since he was a child, and they still had a lot of abducted children there, and later helped Cheng Mo seize the traffickers' den, Cheng Mo asked her what reward she wanted, and she said she would follow Cheng Mo.

Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, good is great! Stealing is not what she wants, and she can consider it.

Gu Man opened his mouth and asked, "Have you two ever read?" Or do you know some words? ”

Both shook their heads!

…… pass

And then there's the fence......... Direct pass.

Then Liu Xiaoxiang and a girl named Qiu Shi were left.

Qiu Shi's age was the oldest among the people present, twenty years old. It is said that her ancestors had been big officials, but the descendants were not good, and her generation became more and more desolate.

The family wanted to be as beautiful as their ancestors, but they didn't study hard to gain fame, but they wanted to climb a high branch, so they sent their best woman to Cheng Mo. Qiu Shi's parents died early, she was raised by her uncle, and she had a docile personality, even if she knew that she was being used as a bargaining chip by her family to give it to others as concubines, she never resisted, and the only time she worked hard for herself was when Cheng Mo wanted to reject her, she begged Cheng Mo to accept her, so that she could no longer be bullied by her uncle and aunt.

There's no other choice, try these two.

After Gu Man and the concubines exchanged a few words, they pretended to be tired and let them go back. Several concubines are puzzled one by one, that's all? Just chatting?

After they all left, Gu Man sent someone to quietly call Liu Xiaoxiang and Qiu Shi over.

Ask the two of them, "Have you two ever read?" Can you write? ”

Both of them nodded, and Gu Man and Ji Moyan were overjoyed.

Gu Man asked, "I called the two of you here today because I want the two of you to be a staff officer. ”

The two were puzzled, when did the two ladies also use their two concubines to serve as advisers?

Gu Man said: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, the house has recently spent a lot of silver on things, every Mid-Autumn Festival in previous years, the house has to give people a reward of silver, but this year the silver in the house is really beyond our means, so the little lady and I are ready to cancel the Mid-Autumn Festival rules for rewarding silver, what do you think?" ”

Gu Man looked at the two, only to see Qiu Shi smiling slightly at Gu Man, and said: "Madame is also thinking about the house, and the subordinates should naturally understand Madame's difficulties, and the concubine thinks it is feasible." ”

Gu Man's brows furrowed slightly, "What if Mrs. Ben said that even your bounty was canceled?" ”

Qiu Shi still had a flattering smile on his face, "Everything is up to the eldest lady." ”

Gu Man pursed her lips and looked at Liu Xiaoxiang, but saw that Liu Xiaoxiang's face had already wrinkled into a bun, as if she was struggling with something.

"Liu Xiaoxiang, what do you think?"
