Chapter 15 Selection

After sending off her aunt, all the little girls in Huilan's room seemed to be relieved.

Huilan Wan'er, Aunt Hardwork did a wicked person for her. With her current three-inch figure, the demonstration is just funny.

Shaking his head, Huilan asked everyone to go and get busy, leaving only Wang's mother to speak.

"Aunt She ......" has been here for so long, Mother Wang can be said to be the closest person to Huilan, and Huilan doesn't want her to have a pimple in her heart because of her aunt's words.

Before Huilan could finish speaking, Mother Wang raised her hand to stop her. With a happy face, "Mrs. Gu is dedicated to the girl, and the old slave is only happy for the girl." ”

Huilan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded again and again, and said solemnly: "Yes, my aunt is good to me, I remember it in my heart." Uncle Li and my mother were left to me by my father, and I am wholeheartedly for me, and you are also my family. ”

Mother Wang was so excited that she didn't dare to say anything, and Huilan also had a rare flow of true feelings*** Mother and daughter said a lot of thoughtful words. Since then, the two have become more acquainted.

The two of them were crying and laughing, and it was easy to come to an end, and Qingguo Liuya hurriedly brought water and tea to let them wash their faces and replenish their water.

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Wang's mother said something serious, "The girl has ten people around her to serve now, but she definitely can't take them all." How many to bring, who to take, it is up to the girl to make her own decision. Mom, I'm going to make your favorite osmanthus cake for the girl. ”

After saying that, he got up and hurried away.

Whelan couldn't cry or laugh, why didn't the people around her like to help her get ideas. Is she so confident in a little girl?

"Why is Mom walking so fast like a wolf is driving her?" Whelan wrinkled her nose at the green fruit willow bud and complained with a smile.

It's about her mother, Liu Ya can't speak, so she only covers her mouth and laughs.

Qingguo replied with a smile: "Mother feels sorry for the girl, and she is in a hurry to make food for the girl!" ”

Able to speak, Huilan gave Qingguo a thumbs up in her heart, and echoed with a smile, "Well, I'm really hungry, I'm thinking about delicious food, or my mother feels sorry for me!" ”

The three girls laughed.

After lunch, Huilan took a reassuring lunch break.

Mother Wang was busy with more than a dozen maids, although the things to be brought in the warehouse before had not been unpacked and had no need to be tossed.

But her clothes, shoes and socks, her daily favorite things and gifts for everyone in the house also have to be packed.

She doesn't have to worry about these things, she fully enjoys the treatment of a noble lady in feudal society, and she has everything at most. It's a shame and inevitable sinking, Whelan covered his face.

Whelan pretended to sit at the desk in the east room, holding a lamb in his hand and listening to Qingguo's popularization of common sense.

"The rules of the house, the girl divides the yard at the age of eight, and learns to manage her own yard and communicate with people. The girls are raised by the old lady on weekdays, and the yard is next to Fushouju. At that time, there were two housekeepers and two nurturing mothers in each courtyard, two first-class, four second-class, four third-class, and eight rough envoys, a total of eighteen girls and four rough mothers-in-law. "It can be seen that Qingguo is good at math, and he doesn't need to pull his fingers, just say everything clearly.

Whelan marveled at the waste of manpower, and at the same time sighed that the aristocracy was full of style.

At the age of eight, when she was still in elementary school, she had more than 20 subordinates and conceivable more private money than she had saved in her original life. Sure enough, the so-called aristocratic temperament is piled up with mountains of gold and silver.

Whelan shook her head, took the pen and waited for her to continue. Her little family is only five years old, and the conditions for the yard are not enough.

"Until the age of eight, the girl lived with her mother. There is a nurse, four nurturing mothers, two second-class, four, third-class, and four rough envoys, a total of ten girls. After Qingguo finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment before answering, "Although according to the rules, girls who are less than eight years old don't need to wait for a girl." But the four girls in the house, except for the youngest four girls, each has an old lady or a first-class girl given by the Duchess by her side. ”

Whelan nodded, burying his head in ghost drawing talismans (drawing Arabic numerals with a brush, in Qingguo's eyes, they are almost ghost talismans).

She originally didn't want to take Wang's mother, just because she didn't want to separate her husband and wife. When you enter the house, you can't go home every day.

Wang's mother resolutely disagreed, and in the end, Whelan still lost to her tears.

Hearing this, the girls in the house will not need the nurse to serve when they are eight years old.

Mother Wang only had to accompany her for three years to come back and reunite with Uncle Li, and the guilt in Huilan's heart was reduced a lot.

Qingguo is already first-class, and after being with her for so long, her aunt will definitely put her in her room to be first-class.

Liu Ya will be a second-class, and then choose four girls, two third-class and two rough ones.

She brought half of the people from the house, and the house gave another half of the people.

The strong dragon is on par with the ground snake, she should be able to sit firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, Huilan thought to herself.

"Then bring pearls, jade, white jade and amber, how does Sister Qingguo feel?" Whelan insisted on listening and knowing.

"The girls are all good, and these sisters are all sensible and steady." Qingguo is cautious and points to the end.

Whelan nodded, indeed, these girls are not so lively and active compared to the other five girls.

Pearl is nine years old and is the daughter of Steward Zhou and Liu's mother. The other three are all eight years old, Bai Yu is the youngest daughter of the only two housekeepers in the family, and the other two are ordinary servants in the family.

It's not that Whelan doesn't like lively and active little girls, it's just that she is under the fence after all, so it's better to keep a low profile.

For former social terrorists, if they can not attract attention, they do not want to attract attention.

When she started naming the girls, Whelan really remembered the gold bars, silver dollars, dollars, and pounds....... It seems that real money is more in the hearts of poor ghosts!

Forget it, let's converge! Then pearl jade white jade soup, amber coral glass cup. There are many girls who are not afraid, there are more jewelry, and the name is enough.

Whelan made up her mind, put down the pen, and crumpled the paper she had just scribbled into a paper ball, "You quietly took it to the kitchen and threw it into the stove to burn it, Mother Wang saw it and said that I was messing around." ”

Where would Mother Wang say about her, Whelan just didn't want to be seen what she wrote, even if no one could understand it, she didn't want to be seen.

Qingguo smiled and agreed, stuffed the paper ball in his sleeve and went out.

Whelan stretched out her arms and leaned on the table lamenting that she was also a college graduate, and she was almost illiterate here. She has to start at least ten years of study, and Whelan wants to cry.

Although the little girl Whelan had been enlightened by her father for almost a year, you can't expect Whelan to be able to write and read now. What's more, now I can use a brush to write traditional Chinese characters and read vertical books......

Alas, forget it, just like in modern times, you can't hide from the nine-year compulsory education, and you can't hide from the fate of entering the academy here.

Whelan sighed while resigning her fate, and sure enough, attaching importance to learning is a tradition inherited by the Chinese nation!

After dinner in the evening, Huilan called all ten girls to announce her decision, and Wang's mother was naturally present.

Seeing that some of the girls were happy and some were depressed, Huilan immediately comforted, "Don't be discouraged if you don't go, you girls are still young, and when I divide the yard at the age of eight, I will definitely add people." You take good care of the house at home, learn needlework and cooking, and I will not forget you. I'm not at home, and you don't have much to do, but you're more leisurely than them. If you live far away at home, you will be asked to send a car by the housekeeper to take turns to go back to see your family every month. You are all obedient, talk hard and study hard. ”

Of the five unsuccessful girls, the eldest was only 10 years old. was deceived by Whelan and turned his anger into joy, and he obediently responded.

"Sango, you are the biggest here, and you will be the second-class girl, and you will take a few of them. Don't forget to clean and ventilate my house, I may go home for a few days at any time! Whelan pointed to the biggest summer flower and entrusted him with a heavy task.

Coral joy descended from the sky, feeling a great responsibility, and the thief with a serious face responded loudly, eager to make a military order. The other four little girls looked at her in awe.

Whelan gave them a few more words of encouragement, and then sent them back to rest.

looked at the remaining girls, including Qingguo, who were all respectful and solemn.

Whelan felt the need to put the ugly words up front. "For the time being, I chose you to go to the Guogong Mansion with me, and if you are reluctant to have your family, just say it, don't go and cry with me again."

There was silence in the room, and Whelan nodded, "Since they are all willing to follow me, I have a few words here that you should keep in mind." The Zhenguo Mansion is a first-class family of magnates, rich and unparalleled, and has strict rules. I hope you remember who you are, don't get carried away, and don't get into trouble with me. You girls and I are just a guest of the host, and I have no power to lend you. ”

These words were so serious that everyone knelt down from Wang's mother down, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

Secretly letting out a sigh, Whelan continued with an unfathomable smile (self-thought), "Get up, don't be afraid, don't fall into the reputation of the Li family." After all, I didn't come to fight the autumn breeze, but I was ordered to be fostered in the Zhenguo Mansion. As long as you are faithful and do your errands, if something happens, I will still be able to keep you. Knocked two sentences.

Huilan's words changed, "Okay, that's what I said, the century-old family of the Zhenguo Mansion, as long as the rules are good, then there is no need to worry about anything." Girl, I'm a troublemaker, let's just live our lives behind closed doors. When you go there, in addition to the monthly money from the government, I will send you another one. After all, we are all members of the Li family, so it should be regarded as hard work for you to serve me. It's good for you to keep this sentence in your heart, and if it gets out, you have to say that I'm biased. ”

A slap and a red date, the girls relaxed.

"Alright, it's not too early, let's go back and pack up our salutes." Whelan waved.

Waiting for only Mother Wang's Qingguo Willow Buds to be left in the room, Huilan couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Does Mom think I look like my aunt is learning?" ”

Qingguo and Liu Ya both covered their mouths and smiled, and Wang's mother smiled with relief, and even praised her for growing up.

Huilan proudly coquettishly in Wang's mother's arms, "I'm most afraid of trouble, and it's better to warn me in advance than who will cause trouble in the future." Mom, don't laugh at me, where did I do something insufficient, you quietly told me, I changed well, and then I can get better and better. ”

Wang's mother praised her again and again, and coaxed Huilan to wash her face and soak her feet, and finally put her to sleep.

After placing her and telling Liu Ya to be on duty at night, Wang's mother went back.
