Chapter 321 Choosing a Maid

 On the second day after returning home, Daohua had breakfast in the old lady’s yard, and then went to the main courtyard with Yan Yihuan and the other three. When they went, the yard was already full of people.

Four chairs have been placed on the eaves of the porch at the door.

Daohua saw it and walked over directly.

Yan Yihuan and the others quickly followed. As they walked through the crowd, the three of them straightened their backs subconsciously and used all the rules that Master Shen had given them, making sure not to lose their status in front of the servants.

Daohua went straight to the chair in the middle. Yan Yihuan saw her and sat in the middle seat without much hesitation. Yan Yile and Yan Yishuang sat on both sides.

After the four of them sat down, Pingtong smiled and handed the roster to Daohua, and said loudly: "Madam said that it is up to the girls to choose the maid this time."

Hearing this, Yan Yihuan, Yan Yishuang, and Yan Yile all straightened their faces.

After moving to Ningmen Mansion, they knew that they wanted to have maids, and they also knew that these maids would follow them to their husband's house in the future, so they all paid great attention to it.

Pingtong saw the expressions of the three of them. Compared with these three, the eldest girl was a little more casual. She wanted to give a few reminders, but she remembered that Madam had said not to interfere with the girls picking out maids before, so she gave it to her. Swallowed it.

"Girl, if there is nothing else, I will leave now."

Daohua quickly looked through the roster, scanning almost every page. After hearing Pingtong's words, she nodded: "Go and do your work."

In just a moment, Daohua flipped through the roster and handed it to Yan Yihuan next to her.

Yan Yihuan didn't expect Daohua to hand her the roster so quickly, and said in surprise: "Sister, you finished reading it so quickly? Don't you want to read more?"

Daohua smiled: "There are too many names, and I can't remember them even after reading them." The main reason is that there are only rough information such as names, ages, and places of origin on the roster, so it is useless to read them.

Yan Yihuan didn't expect Daohua to say that, so she was silent for a moment: "Then sister will watch first. If eldest sister wants to see it, just tell her."

Daohua smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Looking at the large crowd of people below, Daohua made a visual inspection and found that there were at least fifty or sixty of them, all of whom were still young girls about ten to fifteen years old.

Daohua glanced at Guyu behind her.

Guyu immediately stepped forward, bent down and asked, "Girl, what's the matter?"

Daohua covered her face with a fan and asked in a low voice: "How many people did my mother buy this time? Does the family need so many people?"

Gu Yu whispered back: "Madam bought more than a hundred people this time, saying that she would fill all the vacancies in each courtyard at once. These maids in the courtyard were all selected through competitions, and those who were not qualified They were all sent away."

"It looks like there are a lot of people when they are gathered together, but when they are assigned to various courtyards, they are not conspicuous. The last time I hosted a banquet for Ningmen Mansion officials, the manpower was still slightly insufficient."

Daohua took a 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 ladies.

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

After knowing how many people to choose, Daohua had an idea in her mind. She glanced at Yan Yihuan who was still looking at the roster, thought about it, and said to Wang Maner, "Go, make a pot of tea for me and my three sisters, and get two."

Plate of dessert."

I'm afraid this selection won't end so soon.

Wang Maner said happily: "Yes." Then he trotted away.

......

Because they attached great importance to it, Yan Yihuan and the others took it seriously. Daohua had finished three or four cups of tea before they put down the roster.

"Have you finished reading?"

Yan Yihuan said apologetically: "I kept you waiting for a long time."

Daohua waved her hand: "It's okay, there's nothing else to do today anyway." Then she looked at Yan Yishuang and Yan Yile, "Then let's start choosing. Who comes first?"

Yan Yihuan glanced at Yan Yile who wanted to speak. Suddenly, Yan Yile, who wanted to choose someone first because of his young age, became speechless.

Daohua noticed the dispute between the two and ignored it, lowering her eyes to drink tea.

Yan Yishuang spoke: "The eldest sister is the eldest, so the eldest sister who deserves it will be chosen first."

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

You have become smarter!

If she had been like this, given her mother's temperament, she would not have troubled her, and as for her, she would not have cared about her.

Yan Yihuan also smiled and said: "What the third sister said is that the eldest sister should choose first."

Daohua glanced at the three of them: "Since the three sisters are polite, I won't be polite." After saying that, she stood up.

At this moment, some people have begun to shake because they have been standing for a while.

"You, you, you, get out of the queue."

Daohua kicked the shaking person out directly.

Don't blame her for being cruel. After all, she is the person chosen to do the job. If she doesn't have a good body, she won't be able to do the job well.

Daohua walked down, and her appearance was too gorgeous. As soon as she got close, she trembled and kicked out. After walking around, she returned to her seat.

"Let me tell you, my requirements for the maid are: first, sincerity; second, duty; third, strict mouth; fourth, abide by the rules; and finally, she must have a certain ability. If you can't do these things, you can take the initiative to withdraw.

Get out."

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion among the maids who were standing low.

They have been in the house for nearly two months. They have more or less understanding and contact with the other three girls. Only the eldest girl went to Zhuangzi and only came back yesterday. They know too little about them.

I know he is a great one.

Most powerful masters are difficult to maintain, and many people are worried about this.

But the eldest girl is the master's wife's direct daughter, and her future will definitely be better than following the other three girls.

Because of this, although many people were worried about the power of rice flowers, they still stood still.

Daohua saw the hesitation and struggle of some people in her eyes and smiled: "I gave you the opportunity to choose. You must cherish it. This may be the turning point that determines your future destiny."

"I know that many of you may feel that your future will be better if you stay with me. However, gains and efforts are corresponding. The higher the harvest, the greater the price paid."

"I have high requirements, and not everyone is suitable to stay with me. If you don't have the ability, but you still want to work in my yard, then you will only be sent away in the end."

"Choosing the one that suits you is the most important thing."

As these words were spoken, someone in the crowd couldn't help but stand up.

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

Looking at this scene, both Yan Yihuan and Yan Yi's expressions moved.

Yan Yihuan: It is indeed right to let the eldest sister choose first. If they are allowed to choose, they will not do this. Basically, they will choose what they like.

With this kind of choice, the quality of the maid depends entirely on luck.

Yan Yishuang: With just a few words, I kicked out some people who were not firm and wavering, and gained a good reputation. My eldest sister’s methods are really high.
