The "talent" event that attracted much attention from the whole family finally began. The girls walked to the old lady in groups in batches and looked at it one by one. This gave Xu Hao a feeling of time and space transformation, as if he was returning to modern times to watch beauty pageants, and as if he was watching the palace election in TV series.

However, the beauty's qualities are uneven, some are beautiful and some are ugly. It seems that the old lady has no high requirements for appearance, and she focuses on observing her posture when she is walking and standing.

Those who have slightly hunched body, hunchback, shaking and tilted walking, and their feet have serious horoscopes on the outside and inside, will be eliminated.

In addition, the appearance is really unsightly. If you are too tall or too short, your hair is dry and yellow, you are too thin or too fat, your voice is ugly, your speech is unclear, your speech is stuttering or your words are not fulfilled, and you will be eliminated.

What surprised Xu Hao and felt reasonable was that a few girls who spoke quickly and spoke accurately and had agile eyes were eliminated. In the words of his second sister Xu Cuitao, he was obviously a person who was active in his mind and liked to spread rumors.

Of course, there is also the charming appearance, the sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, and the extra plump girl is not attracted by the old lady's eyes. Soon, only seventeen or eighteen girls were left.

The eldest wife Wang suddenly became nervous because the old lady was staring at the one she was looking at. Liu, who was beside her, gave Xiao a wink and signaled that it was her.

When Mrs. Xiao looked carefully, she found that she had a graceful beauty with her eyebrows as beautiful as spring mountains and her eyes as autumn water. She was about fourteen or fifteen years old.

"What a handsome boy, who are you from?" asked the old lady.

The girl's nervous voice trembled and said, "I, my mother's surname is Zhao, and she is in charge of night patrol chores."

Mrs. Xu whispered: "Her mother is Widow Zhao, who is responsible for night patrols in the inner house. Her husband died on the battlefield with the eldest master. The eldest wife cared for them and took great care of them. Therefore, this child had never suffered any hardships since childhood."

"Yes." The old lady nodded slowly, looked at the girl deeply, and said softly: "Stretch out her hand to show her to the old man, don't be afraid."

"Yes." The girl took a deep breath, stretched out her arms tremblingly, and spread her delicate hands.

Xu Hao, who was sitting and watching the fun, could see clearly and said, "It turns out that he has never suffered any hardship."

Xu Cuitao sneered: "It's not just that I haven't suffered any hardships. Even I can't afford to offend me at any time. Like her romantic mother, she is not a good thing."

Xu Hao carefully savored the second sister's words and carefully observed the girl's beautiful face. Unfortunately, he did not have the ancient skills of observing people, so he could not tell the reason.

The girl was the first to get the Xiao family's plan. At this moment, she was wearing a half-new and old green dress. She was very nervous, and there was nothing special except that she couldn't hide her natural beauty.

But the old lady was old-fashioned and stared at the girl's reaction with bright eyes. She pondered for a while and shook her head gently.

Seeing this, Xu Cuitao praised: "I am worthy of being my grandmother, and her eyes are as bright as a torch."

There is article here! Xu Hao is not stupid either. He immediately thought of his elder brother Xu Wen lying on the wall, and thought to himself that this girl should have something interesting to Xu Wen, otherwise her second sister would not have said something that she could not afford to offend.

"This child looks outstanding, and her mother is so precious to her. She has delicate skin and tender flesh. Being a maid makes her feel aggrieved, forget it."

The old lady finished speaking slowly with regret and withdrew her gaze. Liu looked at Xiao with a smile, and smiled at her sister-in-law without a trace.

Mrs. Wang jumped out and said, "This child is the one I have grown up with since childhood, knows the roots and the most gentle and kind child, so stay."

The old lady thought for a while, nodded and smiled, "Since you have spoken, I happen to like this child, so stay with me in the future."

As soon as this said, Wang was stunned and was speechless, which made Liu almost laugh.

In the end, sixteen girls were left, all of whom had to stay in the old lady's yard for a few days. Xu Hao didn't know if Qiu Xiang and his sister had passed the test, so he said goodbye to the old lady and prepared to return to the yard with his mother.

Along the way, the autumn fragrance and winter snow were very excited, while the spring moon and summer rain seemed depressed, and the answer was self-evident.

Xu Qinglian comforted her as she walked: "After all, our family is not a big family in the capital, and we can't keep too many girls. In short, we have personal experiences, so we can't even see them."

Xu Hongye pulled his sister's warm hand with one small hand, shaking it around and laughing, and said, "Grandma is really, so many brothers and sisters have only left sixteen. According to the rules, she left four, and three wives and two more. How can we divide the remaining six?"

Xu Qinglian was stunned for a moment, then said happily: "Hongye is right. You two are patient and wait for a few days. Maybe there will be a turnaround in this matter."

Chunyue said in surprise: "Miss means there is a chance to elect a maid next time? I'm really grateful."

Xu Hao, who had not spoken, suddenly said, "There will be no turning point, you two should give up. When the mansion needs a maid, I will try to help and send your sisters over. Then we will see their luck."

Chunyue said anxiously: "Why? There is obviously not enough maids."

Xia Yu said depressedly: "I can't choose this place, let alone the rules in the mansion over there are more severe, alas!"

Xu Hao smiled and didn't respond. To be honest, he believed in the old lady's vision and experience very much, and did not want to put a few troubles in because of his temporary soft-heartedness.

Even Xiao, who was walking in the front, said unhappily: "This matter has ended here. Don't waste your time. When will it be your turn to talk too much?"

Chunyue and Xia Yu were both frightened and quickly lowered their heads obediently, not daring to say anything more. Xu Qinglian could only smile helplessly, while Hongye didn't care.

Back in the yard, Xiao signaled his son to follow him into the house. Xu Hongye was about to follow him, but his sister reached out and dragged him into the boudoir on the left side of the main room.

The maid did not come in, and the entire flower hall was empty. Xu Hao poured two cups of herbal tea himself and brought it to his mother.

Xiao watched his son's every move silently. After Xu Hao finished his work, he sat down before saying, "You said just now that there would be no turning point. Tell me what you think about this matter."

Xu Hao raised his head and poured a cup of cold tea into his stomach. Seeing this, Xiao hurriedly said, "Oh, drink it slowly, it will hurt the spleen and stomach carefully."

"It's okay." Xu Hao put down the empty teacup casually, raised his arms and acted to wipe his mouth. Xiao Shishen said, "Come here."

"Oh." Xu Hao put down his arms, stood up and walked to Xiao. He saw Xiao take out the snow-white scarf from his arms and gently wipe the water stains on the corners of his mouth. For a moment, Xu Hao felt that his mother in his previous life and the one in front of him seemed to overlap.

Dispelling the longing in my mind, Xu Hao said: "I have shocked so many people with my choice. How can the old lady be alone? I guess the people around the old lady will definitely send some girls in, picking and choosing, and the number of people will not be less than ten."

"My son has finally grown up." Xiao was relieved about his son's performance and raised his hand to point Xu Hao's forehead.

Xu Hao smiled and said, "My elder sister is about to get out of the box. This time, Hongye and I will leave one behind or just don't want it. At least add four more maids to my sister. After all, it's the eldest lady of our Xu family, so we can't be shabby."

"Yeah, do you feel sorry for your sister?" Xiao deliberately pretended to be angry and snorted coldly, "Look at what you said, your sister has been with Chunyue and Xia Yu since she was a child. Even in that wealthy family, a girl is just two close-knit maids, because the girl is small-minded and has many private affairs, and it is not good if she is close to her predecessors."

Xu Hao thought it was very reasonable. The so-called daughter-in-law has always given people a mysterious and mysterious feeling, but since she is a human being, she has to eat, drink, defecate, sleep, have diarrhea, fart, and have all kinds of embarrassing things. If there are too many personal maids, there will be gossip spreading.

This is like the leading cadres in later generations. Although there are many subordinates, they can truly trust them and stay with them all day long without shy away from everything. They are often the same as the secretary and the driver.
