Chapter Twenty-Six: Picking People
Hui Lan sat down under her aunt as she said, and prepared to pick someone with interest.
I think that the selection of people in the family was discussed by the housekeeper and the mothers, focusing on strengthening the connection between her, the little master, and the servants everywhere. In other aspects, such as Hui Lan's preferences and interests, they did not take too much into account.
Mrs. Li didn't take a few sips of a cup of tea, and Zhou's mother entered the house. Behind her was a string of seven or eight-year-old girls, each with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and walking in a regular manner.
The main hall is not small, and twelve little girls stop in the center of the hall. Arrange a 3x4 rectangular square, with an arm's length from the front, back, left and right.
Mother Zhou stood opposite Huilan and stared at the little girls and saluted. Just pointed to and introduced their names and surnames one by one with Huilan, what big girl, second girl, golden flower, silver flower and other names abound.
It's really fresh and simple, full of local flavor.
"I don't dare to fool people who buy cash, they are all born in the family, and they have been trained for many months. When the cousin girl is selected, the rest will fill in the gaps everywhere. Mother Zhou is very good at talking, and the smile on Mrs. Li's face is obviously more real.
Hui Lan secretly praised in her heart, the right-hand man mother in the mansion is different. Although Mother Wang and Mother Liu are also good, they are still younger than this Mother Zhou.
Huilan looked at these children one by one, and they were all about to go to work when they were still in elementary school. Unfortunately, it is not illegal to exploit child labour here.
According to the law of diffusion and diffusion that Hui Lan heard superficially, Daqin was still relatively lenient with slaves. Although the management is strict, there are very few slaves for life except for officials and servants. The passage of slavery is also relatively mature and wide, and after a few years of hard work, it is no different from that of good people.
Compared to those harsh times, this place is already very good.
Hui Lan shook her head secretly, she is a small shrimp, where is she qualified to judge. She can't change others, and she can only restrain herself. Not to say that it is not assimilated, but at least it is necessary to retain the bottom line.
Hui Lan took a sip of water, dissipated the meaningless distractions in her heart, and secretly thought about how to choose.
"Hui'er, your people, you can pick your own." Mrs. Lee smiled and encouraged her.
Hui Lan nodded, "Okay, I still lack two third-class and two rough little girls over there." I don't have any experience, so I'll pick and choose. If you don't pick it well, my aunt shouldn't laugh at me. ”
"Don't worry, your uncle's mother ordered her to be trained, and it's not far off. Mother Zhou is the most shrewd and capable, how can she send something bad, you can pick it. Mrs. Li smiled and shook her head.
Hui Lan looked at her with a sly smile flashing in her eyes, and she opened her mouth to dislike it, but she couldn't see that others said it badly, you two really love and kill each other.
Zhou's mother is also humble and doesn't dare to be straight.
Hui Lan pointed to a few little girls who she looked more comfortable just now and asked them to come forward.
There were five in total, about the same size, and they stood in a row in front of Hui Lan with small broken steps.
"Let's talk about it, how old are you, what will it be, where are the family members?" Hui Lan smiled at the interview questions.
The answer is not too much, eight years old, nine years old. Most of them know a little needlework, only one fat girl said she could burn fire, and a darker girl said she could play a slingshot.
Hui Lan deliberately stared at the little girl who could play a slingshot and burn a fire. The two little girls are still relatively prominent.
One is a little taller than everyone else, and his parents are the little stewards of Zhuangzi.
One is a little lower and fatter than everyone else, her mother is a cook, and her father is no longer there.
Hui Lan was satisfied, and she had the opportunity to exercise. The thin and tall man looks like he is used to running in the countryside, he can play a slingshot, and his estimated physical strength is also good. You can focus on training, and being half a female escort will not improve the safety factor by a star and a half.
As for the fat girl, looking at her physique, it is estimated that she loves to eat. The most important thing is that her mother is a cook. What a temptation it is for a person who drools over food pictures and videos all day long, and saves a few grams of recipes!
If there is anything you want to eat in the future, if you don't have it here, you can find an acquaintance to think about it privately. It's much easier than telling the kitchen to be low-key and trouble-free, even if she pays for it herself. She is low-key and trouble-free, and she is not allowed to be too high-profile.
With a fat girl, it's all alive.
Huilan looked at the fat girl with shiny eyes, as if she was looking at a table full of Hans, and her saliva almost fell on the spot.
Fortunately, she still had a little bit of concentration, and immediately glanced at the other girls.
She asked the remaining four one by one, looked at the past and patrolled three times, and she really couldn't choose.
She called people out and asked again and again, but she was not selected, isn't this equivalent to taking the public entrance examination for the second round of interviews, and several people are divided equally. In the end, because the stroke of the surname was dethroned, this is a bit of a pitfall.
Huilan rolled her eyes, thinking about whether to ask her aunt to help take her in. In the end, she gave up, forget it, she can't be a bad heart, and she can't let others pay for her bad heart.
It's not a hot stove here, it's not necessarily good to enter, and there must be other good places to go if you don't enter. After all, these little girls' families are not marginal people, so she still shouldn't be smart.
Hui Lan smiled and nodded, "Mom is really the most appropriate, I look at these girls well, I actually pick my eyes." Forget it, don't delay Zhou's mother on an errand, that's all. ”
She ordered the two girls and the two eldest.
Huilan glanced at Wang's mother, and Wang's mother understood, and immediately stepped forward and handed a vegetarian bag to Zhou's mother. "Mother Zhou has worked hard, take it to tea."
Zhou's mother thanked the reward with a busy smile, and said a string of auspicious words.
Huilan listened with a smile, and saw Qingguo come in with a tray of copper coins, and immediately said to the eight girls who were not selected, "It's hard for you to run away, and we are also fated, one person will be rewarded with a hundred yuan to buy candy to eat!" ”
The little girls were originally a little depressed and lost, but now they all laughed and thanked them scatteredly.
Then he was taken out by Yang's mother and Yuguan, and the four selected were also taken back to the side courtyard by Qingguo to settle down.
Mother Zhou was about to retire, so Hui Lan left her behind, "Mother Zhou, take a step slowly, I want to go to the aunt's hospital to greet her, I don't know when she is free?" ”
Zhou's mother smiled even more happily, "No wonder Mrs. keeps praising the girl for being well-behaved and sensible, she has filial piety at such a young age." Madame's daily council is about to arrive, and after a half-hour break, it is time to have lunch with the two girls who have gone from school and Rokuro-kun. Mrs. has a habit of taking a lunch break, and about Mo Shen Chu to clean up, Shen Zheng is going to be a director again. ”
Hui Lan nodded while listening, the eldest lady's schedule is quite regular, and she is indeed quite busy. "I'm tired of Mother Zhou, if you have something to do, get busy first."
Zhou's mother estimated that she was really busy, so she said a few kind words and retreated.
