Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Lady's Chosen Servant
After eating lunch, Ah Wei thanked Wang Li.
Wang Li saw that she was full of food and drink, and she still didn't leave, so she couldn't help but smile and asked, "What else is the matter with the girl?"
Ah Wei arched her hand and said: "I heard that the servant has arrived, and he is being investigated at the general's place, but I don't know if the investigation is over? ”
Wang Li laughed loudly: "The girl is really interesting, even the servants have to be selected in person, is it because you can't trust Master Xu's arrangement?"
Ah Wei secretly scolded Wang Lifox, and immediately bowed his hand to Xu Fu to apologize: "It's not that I don't believe in Master Xu's arrangement, it's just that I have some special requirements for servants, lest I annoy Master Xu." I have nothing to do now, it's better to choose it in person, and it will be just a matter of using it in the future, and if it doesn't go well, I don't have to complain about Master Xu in the future. ”
Xu Fu choked when he heard this, and he couldn't be angry in front of Wang Li, so he could only laugh and say: "The girl is far-reaching, cautious, and can only follow your heart." ”
Wang Li listened and said: "This is very good, those servants are still outside, let's go over and take a look, and see what special requirements the girl has for choosing a servant." ”
Wang Yuan agreed when he heard it.
Of course, this is also in line with Xu Fu's wishes, after all, Ah Wei and others are the objects of his special attention, and he has chosen the servant candidates for them early in the morning, in order to become his eyes and ears in the future, but he doesn't want Ah Wei to propose to choose his own servants in front of Wang Li. He was also curious about who would be chosen, and whether Ah Wei would choose the person he had already bought.
Of course, the servants had received news from the soldiers, and they had heard that a girl with a special status was going to come and pick the servants herself. So one by one, they became more and more energetic, striving to be selected, after all, the person who can be selected first is the most noble on the ship. Being able to serve such a master will undoubtedly give them a lot of knowledge.
When Ah Wei stood in front of them dressed in white, they were a little sluggish. The aristocrats of the Zhou period were still blue, and the nobles of the Qin period were still black, and although the material looked really good, it was too rude to dress like this to come out to meet people! White clothes are difficult to wash, and this girl doesn't have any special hobbies, so she likes white clothes? That's really hard to serve, and it takes a lot of effort just to wash the laundry.
Because she is a girl, the manservant's side naturally has nothing to do with herself, and she looks like she is watching a play, thinking to herself, I don't know who is unfortunate and will be chosen by her. The maid's side was no longer excited and happy just now, and the scene was a little cold.
Ah Wei didn't care about the faces of those servants, turned around and asked Xu Fu: "Master Xu, I don't know how the number of servants on the ship is arranged?"
Xu Fu listened and replied directly: "Generally, there is a standing servant in each room, and the rest of the people who fetch water and deliver soup are assigned to the ship. ”
"Then I'll have to choose only one maid?"
"Strictly speaking. Xu Fu replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
So Ah Wei turned around and said to the maid, "There are four people in the boat and one room, and I live alone, so that as my servant only needs to serve me, so if there is anyone who is willing to be my maid, please step forward." ”
When the maids heard this, they looked at each other for a while. She lives alone in a room, and I'm afraid that there is no one else for this treatment. Since there is only one person to serve, it is not a matter of more pulp washing. Immediately, most of the maids stepped forward, only a very small part, knowing that this person's noble status was only afraid that it would not be easy to serve, so they were afraid and did not step forward.
Seeing that a group of people stood up, Ah Wei said with a smile: "Very good, I thank you for your attention." After that, the maid who really rushed forward bowed, then got up, and changed the conversation, "But I still have very high requirements for my maids, so that in addition to waiting, people with skills such as cooking, female workers, and medicine can take another step." ”
The maids looked at each other, and they had never heard of waiting, and they had to know the skills of a family. These servants are also the daughters of poor families who have been temporarily recruited and trained in the past year, and they are really few people who know how to do it with the skills that Ah Wei said, but this time, only eight people stood up.
Ah Wei nodded when she saw it, and praised: "Yes, the eight of you deserve to be the best existence in this group of maids." ”
The eight maids listened to the little girl's praise, some blushing shyly, some with impermanence, and some with a slight joy.
Xu Fu was also very satisfied, and four of the eight people were his eyeliner.
It is difficult for a poor girl to have a skill. It is simply impossible to have a skill, but still be reduced to being called on the ship.
It was Ah Wei who immediately concluded that these eight people must be other people's eyeliner, maybe there is Xu Fu's eyeliner, or maybe Zhao Zheng is afraid that Xu Fu will get the medicine of immortality, so he refuses to report it and inserts the eyeliner. It's just that neither horizontal nor vertical is what she wants. She walked directly past the eight people, walked to the large number of maids behind them, and asked, "Which of you is a lonely, please take two steps forward." ”
The eight people in front looked at each other. Wang Li, Xu Fu and others also looked at each other when they saw this, and they didn't know which one Ah Wei was playing.
Born in troubled times, it is not easy to survive, let alone a poor girl. It was a small fraction of the large number of people who quickly took two steps forward and overtook the eight.
Ah Wei walked up to the eight people and said, "Okay, you can go back." My maid doesn't need to be that good. ”
The eight looked at each other, then gritted their teeth and retreated inwardly slanderously.
Ah Wei walked up to the small group of people and said sincerely: "I am also a lonely person, and I am still keeping filial piety. Therefore, being my maid will inevitably follow me to suffer and become a vegetarian. After that, he glanced meaningfully at the eight people who had just retreated, and continued, "I don't choose the eight of them, it's not that they're bad, it's that they're so good, I don't want to see them suffer with me, they deserve a better master." So I decided to choose one of you to be my maid-in-waiting, and if so, please go one step further. ”
The eight people who returned looked a little relieved, and they accompanied her to eat vegetarian every day? And some of these small groups were shaken. They were recruited because they were lonely and poor, because they heard that the ship could be fed and clothed, and this master seemed to be good, but he followed a vegetarian diet every day, which was too much. It was because most people had stage fright, and in the end, only two people stood up.
Ah Wei walked up to the two and asked, "None of them are willing to stand up, why are you willing?"
One of the girls said timidly: "Back to the girl, in fact, I am also keeping filial piety, so following the girl, I can just keep filial piety for my father and mother, and I will not commit the taboo of the master." After that, he knelt down and kowtowed to Ah Wei, "Please accept me, girl." ”
Ah Wei called her up, and then asked the other person: "She is guarding filial piety, what about you?"
The girl looked a little inward-looking, but said generously: "I'm gambling, the gambling girl is just a temptation, and she will not be willing to let her maid suffer." ”
