Chapter 327
Mrs. Li felt sorry for Qian, and frowned, "I'm not in a hurry right now, the family has enough staff."

Jiang smiled, "I thought, the older ones are more expensive, why not buy two little maids first, the ones in their teens, one is cheap, and the other can be taken with you slowly to learn how to heal. Master and servant have been together for a long time, and the relationship is deeper."

Mrs. Li was in a dilemma, so she talked to Mrs. Jiang, and said, "Seeing that Shan Qingkang and his son are going to school, the tuition fee will cost dozens of taels. When the children go to school, books and pens and ink must be prepared. He also asked Ah Lin to look at how many acres of land he bought, and I have 50 taels here, and all the family members before the summer harvest are in it."

Jiang smiled, "Don't worry, mother, I will arrange the purchase."

Mrs. Li didn't say much, and said, "Then you put this money first, and I will give you the money after Xia Harvest."

Jiang smiled, "It's all for the family, so let me pay the money. It's just that when buying someone, I have to ask my mother to help me."

When Mrs. Li heard that her daughter-in-law paid the money, she immediately responded with a smile, "Success!" This daughter-in-law is really more and more in line with her old man's wishes. Even if the money is generous, she will dump many people for several streets. .

"Mr. Jiang discussed with Mrs. Li again, "I plan to buy a [-]th-five-year-old maid, who can work directly. After all, Brother Jian is growing up, and Baozi takes care of two children by himself, and sometimes he has to help out. There are always times when I can't take care of her work, so I want to buy someone to help her share some.For Mei'er's side, I think it's enough to buy two little maids, who are about the same age as her. When she gets married in the future, there must be two maids to accompany her as a dowry. "

Mrs. Li thought that the girl might be the official wife's life in the future, and it would be decent to have a few more close-fitting maids by her side, so she nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, you can choose a few good ones carefully."

Li Meier was listening on the sidelines, and couldn't help but said at this moment, "Why don't you buy a servant for Brother Shanqing, now that Ding Yi has to help with the printing shop, I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it by himself at home."

Li Meier was still thinking that Brother Shanqing was different from his younger brother. From now on, this family would belong to his younger brother. Whether he could buy someone or not, he would not be short of people.Brother Shanqing is different, when he grows older, if he wants to set up his own family, he must have some loyal servants.

Mrs. Jiang had already made up her mind, and said, "Ms. Shanqing has thought about it, so she will buy a teenager who knows something and knows how to serve others. Let Shanqing take care of it for two years, and it will be of some use."

Li Meier nodded reassuringly when she heard Jiang's arrangement.

Early the next morning, the matchmaker brought a row of girls, big and small.

Brother Kang is so old, and this is the first time he has seen a buyer. He was very curious and followed him to see. Jiang Shi sent him, "Go to the backyard and call your sister over."

Brother Kang went there, Mrs. Jiang asked Mrs. Zhang to sit in the yard, and smiled, "Sister-in-law Zhang, wait a minute, you know, I bought it for my girls to serve, so I have to ask them to take a look at it." It’s good to see.” There are not many opportunities like this for the Li family, Jiang naturally wanted to let the children gain a lot of knowledge.

When Li Meier came out after changing her clothes, Mrs. Zhang looked at her, her eyes lit up, and she praised, "I've heard that your girl is an outstanding girl, she really lives up to her reputation."

Li Meier saw that Grandma Zhang looked about forty years old, combed her shiny braided hair, inserted three liang of golden hairpins, and her clothes were also cut from silk, so she knew that Grandma Zhang's life as a human trafficker was very good, so she called out with a smile, "Zhang Hello ma'am."

Grandmother Zhang smiled and said, "Okay, big girl is fine too." She then asked Li Meier how old she was and what she liked to do on weekdays.

Seeing Li Meier's appearance as a little beauty at such a young age, Mrs. Zhang secretly sighed, wondering that Mrs. Wang praised the daughter of the Li family so much, she is really a very good talent.

Grandmother Zhang smiled and flattered Mrs. Li again, "I dare not say it elsewhere. In our state capital, I am considered a knowledgeable person. Auntie is really extraordinary, and she is so outstanding in taking care of her daughter."

Mrs. Li felt good, and pretended to be modest in her mouth, "What are you picking out, it's just a girl from a small family."

Everyone talked for a while, and then Mrs. Zhang called the row of girls, big and small, to come and pick them for the Li family.

These girls are all thin and thin, with coarse cloth clothes on their bodies, their faces and hands and feet are clean, and their hair is neatly combed. Except for two eyebrows and eyes that are a little watery, they all have ordinary looks that are neither good-looking nor ugly. .

Brother Kang is still impatient, and his sister hasn't picked anyone yet, so he couldn't help but ask, "Sister, which one do you think is better?"

Li Meier actually felt that they were all the same. After all, these maids were not like Baozi. She had a filter from her previous life, so she was chosen without much effort, but she didn't know the basics of these maids.Then I asked carefully, "Can you cook at home? Do you know needlework?"

Grandmother Zhang laughed first, "Oh, my eldest girls, they are not Miss Qianjin, who can't cook, and how can they sew and mend?"

Li Meier smiled, "Don't worry, ma'am, listen to them." A person's temperament can always be seen from the words.

These girls look at me and I look at you. The fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl who is the leader said in a gentle way, "I learned cooking from my mother at home, and I can even do some sewing and clothes. It's just that the embroidery is ordinary."

The second girl's eyebrows are not as good as the first one's, but she has a bright temper. She said, "When I'm at home, I cook and clean the house. I haven't learned embroidery. I can sew simple clothes."

The third one is slightly younger than the first two, about twelve or thirteen years old, although young, but with the best eyebrows and eyes among the girls, she said softly, "I can make pastries and embroider."

The fourth one is even younger, about eight or nine years old, timid, blushing before speaking, staring at the ground, with a trembling voice, "Light the fire, cook, wash clothes, threat pigweed, hello!" pigs, sheep, mend clothes, button buttons, mend socks, take care of children."

The fifth girl had a dark complexion and said, "I'm not very good at cooking and sewing, and I'm always farming when I'm at home."

The sixth girl said, "I can cook, mend clothes, grow vegetables, and raise silkworms."

Even if Mrs. Zhang was in the human trafficking business, she couldn't always have a lot of children on hand. The Li family planned to buy three maids, one big, two young, and three maids, so Mrs. Zhang brought six of them to choose from for her family.

After listening to these six girls, Li Meier thought for a while, and then said, "Let me take a look." What a person does for a living can be seen mostly from his hands.

After Li Meier asked and read it again, she already had some ideas in her mind.
