Chapter 24 Picking a maid (900 points)

Li kept Chen Muqing and Shen Yuerong for breakfast. After dinner, because Chen Muqing had to learn how to manage the family from Li, he personally sent Chen Yuerong out.

Standing at the door, Chen Yuerong said and said, "Don't forget the afternoon agreement."

Chen Muqing responded with a smile, watched Chen Yuerong leave before turning back to the room.

When she returned to the house, Li looked a little cold, and asked Chen Muqing to stand in front of the parquet bed to see how she handled the housework.

After a while, Chen Muqing couldn't bear it anymore.

She kept changing the center of gravity left and right.

Mother Wang saw it and took advantage of the time to reply and said, "How can I let the girl stand like this! Let me move Zhang Jinsha to the girl!"

Li smiled and said, "If you can do this in front of your mother-in-law in the future, you will be able to do this without rules."

Mother Wang smiled and said, "Isn't this in front of you? This woman became a married woman and became someone else's wife. Someone else had a hard life! If you don't feel sorry for your mother, who else can feel sorry for her!"

Only then did Li snort gently.

Seeing the opportunity, Orange Xiang hurriedly brought a little squid with black lacquer and brocade face to Chen Muqing.

Chen Muqing felt guilty and dared not sit down. He smiled and said, "It's time for me to learn to set rules... just stand now!"

Li sighed and said angrily: "Sit! This rule is not something you can learn in one day."

Chen Muqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and sat down.

After everything was almost done, Mother Wang smiled and wanted to step down, but Li called her: "You ask someone to bring a message to Mrs. Zhang and let her come to her house."

Mrs. Zhang is an official.

Chen Muqing was slightly stunned and said, "Does our family lack people?"

Li covered his mouth and smiled: "Do you want to leave the few in your house until the time when people are old and old!"

Chen Muqing smiled embarrassedly.

Yes, it’s time for Luo Mei and the others to get married... They left, but they couldn’t be empty around them, so they naturally needed new people to replace them.

Although I knew that the banquet that all the world would end, I felt a little sad when I heard Li say this.

A daughter’s marriage is like a second reincarnation, whether it is good or bad, that is for most of her life... I don’t know how Li would arrange their marriage?

*******

The next day, Mrs. Zhang indeed brought someone.

Mother Wang first picked up the ear room next to the second door, and then asked Mother Li to lead him to the kitchen, boiled a large pot of hot water with honeysuckle, chamomile, mint, etc., and asked them to take a bath and wash their faces. Then he changed them with clean coarse cloth clothes he had prepared on weekdays. Then he went to Chaoxitang's hall to wait for Li to see.

Li asked Chen Muqing to take charge: "You can see if there is any suitable one. If you look at it, then bring it to me."

Chen Muqing took a breath of cold air.

This is the second time she has encountered a maid at home. The first time was seven years ago, when she bought Luomei.

She was still young at that time and met her when she came to pay tribute to Li.

At that time, she felt chills on her back. She thought to herself: Fortunately, she is lucky... If she travels through time and becomes Luo Mei or Yingfen, then she will lower her eyebrows and look at others, and be humble and respectful in her actions, maybe she will be herself!

So to the maids in the room, she not only respects her like a friend, but also has a compassionate heart. She always helps them as much as possible and always gives them as convenient as possible.

This time, she was asked to buy a maid... She felt that she was just a yellow Shiren and was very nervous.

Why do you decide other people's lives? Or, will someone encounter misfortune because of your own choices... This feeling of carrying heavy burdens for other people's lives is so uncomfortable!

Mother Wang saw Chen Muqing's hesitation, and thought she had not experienced such a thing, so she was a little nervous, so she smiled and said, "Or, let my aunt accompany her to see her. Speaking of which, since Xianglian, the eldest maid in Aunt's house, got married this spring, she still lacked one person to serve her."

Aunt Chen hurriedly smiled and said, "Today I am choosing a maid for the girl, how can I put the cart before the horse? I have few people there and nothing to do. Just have Xianghe serving him in front of me."

"Yeah!" Li looked very satisfied with her Aunt Chen's answer and said with a smile: "I was negligent about this matter... Mu Qing, just go and have a look with Jie Hong."

Chen Muqing sighed and went to the main hall with Aunt Chen.

Aunt Chen asked Chen Muqing to sit on the Arhat bed.

It was originally the Li family's special seat, so Chen Muqing naturally refused and sat on the first Grand Master chair on the right under the Arhat bed.

When Aunt Chen saw this, she sat on the last Grand Master's chair.

The little maid passed the message, and Mother Li and Mrs. Zhang brought in with fourteen, five girls aged between seven and eight and twelve.

They all had a dish-like face, wearing a coarse blue cloth shirt that they had just changed into, and their wet hair was simply tied with a red rope and hung behind their heads, with a smell of Chinese medicine. They had a nervous expression and stood in the main room with fear, letting Chen Muqing choose.

Aunt Chen smiled and looked at Chen Muqing, meaning she wanted to make an idea.

Some of these little girls have been eliminated first, and the rest are all flexible and smart. Chen Muqing also thinks it's good to look at the left and right, but it's really hard to make a decision.

When Aunt Chen saw this, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Speaking of this, when I was at home, I also picked maids. At that time, the mother in charge told me that the first thing is to be healthy, sick and painless, and to be able to do things. The second thing is to be obedient. Whatever you sell people to do is to serve people. If you don't listen to others, what else should you do? This third thing is to be less talkative. Serve in front of your master, you are both a family and a family member, and talk about long-term mistakes all day long. No matter how virtuous the master is, he is also taken with the wind and the rain, like a shrew in the market. The fourth thing is to do things with care. The master asks you to bring you a cup of tea, and you will bring one cup, whether it is hot or cold, or whether the master likes to drink Longjing or Maojian, it is useless..."

With just these few words, the girls standing in the room began to become frightened and trepidated. The smile that Mrs. Zhang had been hanging on her face showed a bit of embarrassment.

Their emotions quickly affected the atmosphere in the room, and there was a faint sense of anxiety in the air.

Aunt Chen's eyes flashed, and soon stopped the topic and smiled, "Oh, I'm also a parrot. Girl, don't listen to my nonsense."

Chen Muqing smiled slightly: "My aunt is too modest. What you said is really unreasonable!"

An uneasy flashed across Aunt Chen's face. As if she wanted to hide her loss of composure just now, her mouth was wide and she smiled exaggeratedly: "Miss always polite me!"

Chen Mu Qing smiled faintly and said to the children in the room: "You have heard just now that the Shen family has great rules. When you get here, you have to be very energetic. If you are willing to stay, go forward and take a step forward. If you don't want to stay, please ask Zhang's mother to find another family. This outfit is a thought from the Shen family for you."

As soon as she finished speaking, a teenage girl walked out without hesitation. The others looked at her and followed four people out. The rest, look at me, and I look at you, and two more walked out hesitantly.

Chen Muqing made a decision and said, "Just these are just a few. Take them in and show them to your wife."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang suddenly pushed out a little girl who was standing there without moving: "Girl, there is one more here."

Chen Muqing looked at it.

I saw that the little girl was only seven or eight years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, thick bones, oily and dark skin, and a very rural temperament.

She was pushed out by Mrs. Zhang and didn't say anything. She looked straight at Chen Muqing with big black eyes, revealing a bit of childishness.

"Xiuzhi, hurry up, call me girl!" Mrs. Zhang hurriedly ordered her.

She stood there straight, without saying a word.

"Girl, she is a relative of me. Her parents are gone, and no one can afford to support her." Zhang Pozi's face was very embarrassed. "The mansion has always been generous to others, and I beg the girl to take her away, so I don't have any money, just give her some food."

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Muqing.

Chen Muqing smiled and said, "Xiuzhi, right? As long as she wants, let's go to see the wife with these people!"

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly pulled Xiuzhi to thank him, but Xiuzhi stood there without moving for a moment. Instead, she asked: "Girl, do whatever you ask me to do. I don't know what tea you like to drink!" She heard Aunt Chen's words very well.

Everyone in the room was happy.

Li, who had been listening to the movement, said, "Bring her in, I'll take a look!"

As if after hearing Lunyin’s words, Mrs. Zhang took Xiuzhi into the Western Ji room.

With such an episode, the atmosphere became much easier.

Several little girls followed Mom Wang into the house and must have stood in front of Li.

Li asked Chengxiang to take the orange cake for Xiuzhi to eat: "How old are you? Where are the people?"

"Thank you, mother-in-law!" Xiuzhi didn't recognize her and took the orange cake: "I am seven years old this year and I am from Yanzhou."

Mrs. Zhang heard this and said, "Call me, Madam!"

Li just smiled: "Mother-in-law can scream too!"

Seeing that Li likes Xiuzhi very much, Mrs. Zhang felt relieved and stayed by her side.

Li smiled and said, "Are you willing to stay in our house?"

Mrs. Zhang was happy when she heard this, but Xiuzhi said, "Can you give me food? Can you give me clothes?"

Everyone laughed so hard.

Li said: "Of course we have food and clothes."

"Then I do."

Li looked at Xiuzhi who was eating orange cakes in front of her and said to Mrs. Zhang: "The name Xiuzhi is not nice. It's called Puyu!"

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she was overjoyed and was about to say something. Xiuzhi was already smiling: "Mother-in-law, I like this name."

"Oh!" Li smiled, "Why?"

The people in the room listened to Xiuzhi's answer in silence.

"The branches and leaves in our village are not beautiful, they are all beautiful."

Everyone was amused again.

Li smiled even more and leaned back and pointed at Xiuzhi and said to Mrs. Zhang: "Although this girl doesn't want to sell herself, I still pay eight taels of silver... The eight taels of silver were given to her and used as private money. How about you?"
