There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 321

[Chapter 321, Choosing a Maid]

On the second day after choosing a maidservant to return to the mansion, Dao Hua had breakfast in the old lady’s yard, and came to the main courtyard with Yan Yihuan and the other three. When she went, the courtyard was already full of people.

On the porch eaves at the entrance, four chairs have been placed.

Seeing Daohua, she walked over directly.

The three of Yan Yihuan hurriedly followed, and when passing through the crowd, the three subconsciously straightened their backs, and used all the rules Master Shen taught them, making sure not to lose their status in front of the servants.

Daohua went straight to the chair in the middle, and Yan Yihuan sat in the middle seat without much hesitation, while Yan Yile and Yan Yishuang sat on either side.

After the four sat down, Pingtong smiled and handed the roster to Daohua, and said loudly: “Madam said, the selection of maids this time is entirely up to the girls themselves.”

Hearing this, Yan Yihuan, Yan Yishuang, Yan Yile and the three of them straightened their faces.

After moving to Ningmen Mansion, they knew that they wanted to add maids, and they also knew that these maids would follow them to their in-laws’ house in the future, so they all attached great importance to it.

Ping Tong saw the expressions of the three of them. Compared with these three, the eldest girl was a bit casual, and wanted to remind her a few words, but she thought that Madam had said before that she should not interfere with the girls’ selection of maids, so she gave the words to swallowed.

“Miss, if there is nothing else, then the servant will leave.”

Dao Hua quickly flipped through the roster, almost scanning every page, and nodded when she heard Ping Tong’s words: “You Go and do your work.” After a

while, Daohua flipped through the roster and handed it to Yan Yihuan beside her.

Yan Yihuan didn’t expect Daohua to hand her the roster so soon, and she was surprised: “Big sister, you finished reading it so soon? Don’t you want to read more?”

Daohua smiled: “There are too many names, I read it. I can’t remember.” The main reason is that there are only rough information such as name, age, and place of origin on the roster, so it’s useless to read it.

Yan Yihuan didn’t expect Daohua to say that, so she was silent for a while: “The younger sister will watch it first, and if the older sister wants to watch it, she can tell her.”

Daohua smiled and nodded: “Okay.”

Looking at the dark sky below A large group of people, Daohua visually inspected, there are at least fifty or sixty people, and each of them is a little girl between ten and fifteen years old.

Daohua glanced at Gu Yu behind her.

Gu Yu immediately stepped forward, bent down and asked, “Girl, what’s the matter?”

Daohua covered her face with a round fan and asked in a low voice, “How many people did my mother buy this time? Can the family use so many people? ”

Gu Yu replied in a low voice: “Madam bought more than a hundred people this time, and said that she wanted to make up for the lack of people in each courtyard. All of them have been sent away.”

“It looks like a lot of people gathered together, but they are not conspicuous when they are assigned to various courts. Last time the master hosted a banquet for the officials of Ningmen Mansion, there was still a little shortage of manpower.”

Dao Hua spit He took a deep breath, and then began to silently calculate how many people she would choose today.

There is still one short of the four big maids, none of the four second-class maids, two short of the four sweeping maids, and two short of the four rough envoys.

Therefore, she still has to choose 7 maids and two women today.

After knowing how many people to choose, Daohua had an idea in mind, glanced at Yan Yihuan who was still looking at the roster, thought for a while, and said to Wang Maner, “Go, make a pot of tea for me and the three younger sisters, and take two Dessert plate.”

I’m afraid this selection will not end so soon.

Wang Man’er blessed his body: “Yes.” Then he trotted away.

Because of the importance, the three of Yan Yihuan took it very seriously. Daohua had finished drinking three or four cups of tea before they put down the roster.

“Finished?”

Yan Yihuan said apologetically, “I kept Big Sister waiting for so long.”

Daohua waved her hand: “No problem, I have nothing else to do today anyway.” She looked at Yan Yishuang and Yan Yile, “Then let’s start choosing, who will come first?”

Yan Yihuan took a look and wanted to speak Yan Yile, who wanted to choose a candidate based on her young age, immediately pouted and fell silent.

Daohua saw the dispute between the two of them, but ignored it, and drank tea with her eyes downcast.

Yan Yishuang said: “Big sister, the head of the house, the big sister should choose first.”

Daohua glanced at Yan Yishuang, who had a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes. When she came back this time, she found that this person was much more low-key than before.

It’s getting smarter!

If she was like this all the time, she would not embarrass her with her mother’s temperament, and as for her, she would not be bothered.

Yan Yihuan also smiled and said: “What the third sister said is that the elder sister should choose first.”

Daohua glanced at the three of them: “Since the three younger sisters are courteous, then I will not be polite.” After speaking, she stood up body.

At this moment, because of standing for a while, some people’s bodies have already started to shake.

“You, you, you, come out.”

Daohua kicked the shaking man out.

Don’t blame her for being ruthless, after all, she is the one chosen to do the job, and if she doesn’t have a good body, she won’t be able to do the job well.

Daohua walked down, kicked out the woman who was too gorgeous and trembling when she got close, and returned to the seat after walking around.

“Let me tell you, my requirements for maids are: first, sincerity; second, duty; third, be strict with your mouth; fourth, obey the rules; finally, you must have a certain ability. If you can’t do these things, you will take the initiative to withdraw.” Get out.”

As soon as these words came out, the servant girls who were standing low were in commotion.

They have been in the mansion for nearly two months, and they have more or less understanding and contact with the other three girls. The eldest girl came back yesterday because she went to Zhuangzi. They knew too little about him, they only knew that he was a formidable one.

Most powerful masters are difficult to serve, and many people are a little worried about this.

But the eldest girl is the master’s wife’s direct daughter, and following her must have a better future than following the other three girls.

Because of this, although many people were worried about Daohua’s strength, they still stood still.

Daohua saw the hesitation and struggle of some people, and smiled: “I gave you the opportunity to choose, you should cherish it, this may be a turning point that will determine your future destiny.”

“I know, maybe Many of you feel in your heart that if you stay with me, your future will be better. However, the harvest and the sacrifice correspond, and the higher the harvest, the greater the price.”

“My requirements are high, not every day Everyone is suitable to stay with me. You have no ability, but you want to join me in my yard, so in the end, you will only be sent away.”

“The most important thing is to choose the one that suits you.”

Following these few words As soon as the words were spoken, someone in the crowd couldn’t help standing up.

Someone took the lead, and some came out one after another.

Seeing this scene, both Yan Yihuan and Yan Yi’s expressions moved.

Yan Yihuan: It is true that the big sisters are the first to choose. If they are allowed to choose, they will not know these things. Basically, they will choose based on what they like.

Such a choice, whether the maid is good or bad, depends entirely on luck.

Yan Yishuang: With just a few words, some people who are not firm-willed and swinging left and right have been kicked out, and they have also gained a good reputation. The big sister’s methods are really high enough.

In the end, including those who were picked out before, there were less than thirty people left.
