Chapter 109: Selecting Domestic Servants

Situ Ce thought in a mess... Seeing the official slaves staggering into his house in a bunch of stumbled into his house, then followed him in. Zhong Bingzhi also followed him in and came to the front hall. The guarded Jinyiwei had ordered all the official slaves to kneel on the ground, crawl, and not cry. Some people couldn't help crying, and the whip whipped on their bodies, screaming with a scream. The rest of them did not dare to cry anymore.

Linglong brought two chairs and placed them on the platform in the front hall courtyard. Zhong Bingzhi smiled and said, "Please sit in real person!"

Situ Ce sat down and said, "You can sit down too."

"Okay!" Zhong Bingzhi lifted up the chair and placed it under the platform before sitting down.

"What are you doing when you sit down?" Situ Ceqi said.

"Today, you can choose a slave, I'll just sit down."

Situ Ce was too lazy to talk to him more. He looked at the seventy or eighty women and several children who were kneeling down below. After thinking about it, he asked Zhong Bingzhi: "You said just now that I couldn't pick it, so I sent it to the border?"

"yes."

"Do you go there to do tricks? Do you serve hard labor?"

Zhong Bing smiled and said, "They have no blessings. They go to the border to act as camp prostitutes. Young soldiers and older ones, they can help the laborers. As for the children, they will sell their teeth."

When they heard this, the women who fell to the ground were crying frequently. Although the Jinyiwei next to him whipped her whip, they still couldn't help it. When they thought of suffering, they could not help but wait for the front. How could these women still hold back and cry? Apart from crying, what other ways could they change their destiny?

Listening to the sound of the whip, Situ Ce scolded: "Stop hitting, step back aside!"

The Jinyiwei quickly withdrew the whip and retreated aside. He let the woman in the field cry.

However, the women stopped crying, but they had already thought it through. The young man in front of them had to find ways to make the other party feel good about him so that he could stay. So, they secretly mopped their tears, gathered their hair, tidied their ribbons around their waists, and tidied their dresses, making themselves look dignified and beautiful as much as possible. And those old women thought about what skills they had, such as cooking skills, housework, etc., that could make the young man believe that they were useful.

Situ Ce saw them busy cleaning up, and guessed their intentions. He suddenly became the one who decided the fate of these women and children, which made Situ Ce feel at a loss. After thinking about it, he said to Zhong Bingzhi: "Can I stay all these women?"

Zhong Bingzhi looked at Situ Ce in shock: "This..."

All the people who fell on the knees in the field were surprised and happy, looking up at him.

Linglong, who was behind Situ Ce, bent down and whispered: "Master, we can't live in such a person." Situ Ce said angrily: "If you can't live, you can buy a house to expand!"

"yes……"

Linglong had never seen Situ Ce get angry, and turned away with red face, tears flowing in her eyes.

Zhong Bingzhi laughed dryly and said, "It's not that I don't agree with it. It's just that this is the imperial edict. All the women's relatives are circumvented to the border. To be honest, these people have a lot of knowledge. They are only because they are officials and are at ease, so they leave some for the real person. The number of people chosen by the real person is. Hehe, I have to buy the escort official from the human teeth, and I can only pay the job when I get to the ground. If I keep them all, it's not impossible. But once I lose, I find out that it's a big deal. How can I be a crime of violating the imperial edict?"

Situ Ce's heart skipped a beat. This means that if he kept everything, not talking about the violation of the order, Zhong Bingzhi would also buy the same number of women from the hands of the human teeth and send them to the border to become a prostitute. In fact, he did not rescue anyone, but rescued this group and threw another boy into the sea of ​​suffering.

What's the point of doing that?

Thinking of this, Situ Ce was indifferent and said, "Then forget it, I don't want any of them!"

Zhong Bingzhi was very embarrassed and thought Situ Ce was angry. He hurriedly got up and walked to him, saying, "Real person, it's impossible to keep all of this. This is too risky. Otherwise, you can choose first, and it doesn't matter if you choose more. Hu Zhi is discussing with the escort official, but it's just a little more money to seal it."

Situ Ce said: "What I left behind is that you have to buy the offset from the human teeth. Isn't that safeguarding this side and harming that side?! What's the use!"

Zhong Bingzhi then realized that the reason why Situ Ce didn't want was this, and he couldn't help but laugh: "Real people are really kind-hearted. But hehe, if you worry about them, it's useless. Every year, officials in the country are punished, so many officials and family members are beaten to be prostitutes, and so many people have so many women in their hands. How many people can save them? Besides, even if I don't buy them and send them, these women are mostly sold to brothels. They just changed places, and there is no difference."

Situ Ce was stunned for a moment, knowing that he was telling the truth, and sighed deeply. It was a huge joke to change the entire society with his own strength.

He turned his head to Linglong behind him and said, "Come here!"

Linglong walked to him with red eyes. Situ Ce looked at him, smiled, and reached out to hold her hand: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have raped you just now."

When he comforted, Linglong felt even more aggrieved, and tears fell down. But the corner of his mouth smiled! The master scolded me, that's what he deserved."

"No! I won't say it anymore. In this way, please help me choose some people we need at home. I don't know how to choose."

Seeing that Situ Ce trusted him so much, Linglong was immediately happy again. He nodded quickly, stood up and walked down the platform, cleared his throat, and said, "The master asked me to choose. Now listen to me, all the servants and the original officials and their relatives are separated. The servants are here and the officials are there!"

So, all the people who fell to their knees got up and divided into two groups, with more servants than the officials.

Linglong said: "If you know how to cook, come out! The craftsmanship must be good!"

There were more than a dozen people coming out at once, including men and women, most of them from servants, and only two officials came out, both of them were young women, who looked like tingles, and they might be two sisters, with tears on their faces, and they looked at her pitifully.

Linglong looked back at Situ Ce, and Situ Ce smiled and signaled her to decide for herself.

Linglong walked to the two women: "What are you two's names?"

"Rain Butterfly." "Swift."

"Are you sisters?"

"Um……"

"You all know how to cook?"

"Well..." The two women nodded together.

"Okay, but there is only one cook in our house, so there is only one of you two. I will test you, so stay.

I’ll give you a chicken now, how many dishes can you make?”

The two female relatives thought about it, and the older ones said fifteen, and the younger ones said thirteen.

Linglong said again: "Then tell me how to cook your best dish, just say it directly. Two people are not allowed to repeat it."

The two women looked at each other, and the big one signaled the little one to say first, and the little one said crispy and crispy way to cook a dish, which was very fluent and without any hesitation.

It’s the big one’s turn to say it, but the big one is a bit slow.

Linglong pointed at Xiao and said, "You stay and be the chef of our inner house."

The little woman cried with joy, turned to look at the older woman, saw her sad face, and called out "Sister!" and threw herself into her arms, and the two cried together.

Linglong walked to the servants and asked them the same way of cooking their best dishes.

Finally, an old fu and a fat male chef were selected. The man was asked to be responsible for the kitchen of the front hall, and the old fu was responsible for the kitchen of Liu'er, Ningxinyuan, and the backyard.

At this time, Yuyan, the sister of the two sisters, suddenly knelt down and cried, "Master, girl, let my sister stay. Her cooking skills are actually better than me. She deliberately gave in to me, please!"

The sister was so panicked that she was lost. She hurried over and pulled her sister, while whispering: "My sister is good at cooking, please keep her."

Linglong turned around and looked at Situ Ce.

Situ Ce sighed and said, "Sisters' affection is deep, and I can't bear to separate. Since both of them have good cooking skills, please stay. One stays in Ningxinyuan to cook for Liu'er and the others. Leave that old fu in the front hall, there are many servants, and the other person may not be able to get busy."

"Yes!" Linglong bowed and agreed, "Grateful, you two are left behind. My sister is responsible for the kitchen in the inner house, and my sister is responsible for the kitchen in Ningxinyuan, the backyard."

The two sisters cried with joy, and rushed over quickly, knelt down in front of Situ Ce to thank him. Situ Ce hurriedly told them to get up quickly.

Linglong walked to the officials and said, "Those who know the account room come out!"

Everyone looked at a middle-aged woman together. A white-haired old fu pointed at the woman and said to Situ Ce and Linglong: "She turns out to be the accountant in the inner house of our mansion, and she is the old eldest daughter. The account book is very clear and there has never been any problem. Please rest assured by the master and the girl!"

Linglong said: "There will be accounts in the house, will the accounts in the shops and land rent?"

"I haven't taken care of it. My second uncle was in charge of the accounts of the shops and land rent in my house." After saying that, he looked at the male servant.

An old man with white bearded bowed and hurriedly stepped out of the line, nodded, and tears couldn't help but flow. He raised his sleeve and wiped it, trying his best to smile.

Linglong walked to the old man and said, "I'll give you three shops, namely jewelry stores, fur stores, and ready-to-wear stores. How should you manage it? Do you know how much the land price is now? Do you know how to rent it? Do you need to collect rent? Let's listen."

The old man answered fluently, and said with great sermon, nodded, and said, "Okay, stay!"

The old man was surprised and kowtowed quickly. He looked up and said, "Our big grandma, no, can she stay?"

Linglong said: "We only need a account room to manage the outside accounts. We will take care of the inner house by ourselves. If the master marrys him in the future, we will naturally take care of our grandma."

The old man was so sad that he kowtowed: "Then let her stay, she will also manage the accounts of the shops and tenant."

"Not appropriate!" Linglong said, "It is more appropriate for men to manage external accounts, but how can a woman be so generous to pay debts?"

The old man just kowtowed, and the woman over there said sadly: "Uncle Second, you should stay here. You are poor in your body and can't bear the hardship when you go to the border.,
