So I play chess

Chapter 140
The prefect's aunt really caught the big families by surprise.

Generally speaking, it is strange to pick some people from various families to use by yourself, but it is not a serious matter.

They have plenty of people, and it is often more useful to put them in other people's houses than in their own.

Most of the people only thought that she was still young and had a perverse personality, she only cared about having fun and showing off, and didn't understand the pros and cons of it.

After that, I slowly picked them and sent them over to let her choose. It's just that the prefect's aunt got excited and acted immediately, which was too hasty.

Each family did not prepare in advance, so they could only rush to make some simple instructions, and hide the important people who cannot be let out, as well as things that cannot be seen by outsiders at will.

However, without further ado, she was the first to go to the Zheng family mansion, and wandered around as if she had no experience. She even went to some small courtyards in the surrounding area. Want to take a look.

It's just that after walking around Zheng's house for a long time, I met many people and asked many questions, but in the end I didn't take any of them home.

The prominent members of each family naturally accompanied her. Originally, they thought that the prefect's aunt was unnecessary, either because of her high vision, or because she came here fundamentally to show off her prestige.Unexpectedly, after leaving the Zheng family, everyone then went to the Wang family historian's house, and she actually picked people from these two families.

People are also picky.

A middle-aged man who used to be a tracker and is now doing manual labor in the outer courtyard was picked out from Wang's house.As for the Hua Ji who gained power today, after cleaning up, he is still a square character, but he is still young.But this middle-aged man's appearance really has nothing to recommend him. It is not difficult to find someone more pleasing to the eye among the refugees.

Everyone was beating their hearts, not knowing what she was thinking.

However, when we arrived at the historian's house later, the prefect's aunt picked out a young swordsman who came here not long ago and had just worked as a guard for a few days.

This young swordsman named Du Chong's skills are so-so, but his figure and posture are good.

Everyone has experienced things in the world, and they suddenly realized when they saw this. It turned out that the choice of such a person in the Wang family was probably a little concealment of her true thoughts by the young lady, so she couldn't be honest.

It's just deception, how can I hide it from everyone present, after all, I still want to be a handsome and upright person.

Everyone knew it in their hearts, and even Zheng Tong also pretended to be tacit.

It was just after sunset after visiting the three houses, and they had to go to Sun's house.The master of the Sun family has the most time among the four families. He took advantage of the time when the prefect's aunt was strolling around the first three houses, and ordered people to go back and make some arrangements. It has also become his own advantage.

Unexpectedly, when the prefect's aunt finished visiting the Shi's house, when Master Sun took the initiative to ask her to go to the mansion, the little lady actually said that she was tired after walking around for too long, and she would not go anywhere after that, and she would go back to the residence to rest went.

Master Sun didn't expect this to happen, so he invited him again but was still rejected in person.Letting the prefect's aunt hang out like this made him feel unhappy but he had nothing to do, so he had to disperse back to the house with everyone.

That's all for today's selection.

However, during the half day they were strolling around, Nanshi was not idle.

The intersection has been cleaned up long ago, and there is no trace of a banquet.Only the tattered "Raspberry Difficult to Shine" was left in the middle, and no one dared to move it.

According to this scene, many people who saw it on the spot and heard about it later spread the deeds of the prefect's aunt at noon.

Things naturally became more and more changed, but the news of Curie's recruitment of manpower also spread like wildfire.

There was nothing new that day, so the next morning, the prefect's aunt posted a message, inviting the members of Wang's family historians to have a banquet in Bushiju.The news was not covered up, and it naturally reached the ears of Zheng Tong and Master Sun.

But the lunch banquet was over, and the master of the Wang family historian didn't show any signs of trouble after returning.Those who have inquired only said that the prefect's aunt did not arrange to explain anything, it was just gossip.

But others would not believe it. Seeing that these two families are going to rely on the most powerful family in Tongcheng in the future because of some out-of-the-way population, they are somewhat jealous.

At this time, what the big clans were arguing about was nothing more than passing the public inspection. The behavior of the prefect's aunt made the Zheng family and grandson's family even more anxious.This afternoon, he hastily picked out many suitable candidates, and the masters personally led them to Bushijuzhong.

Of course, these two companies were not the only ones who went to the meeting. Yesterday, those who attended the meeting on Cross Street in Nanshi all brought their hands to pay a visit.Aunt Taishou met Zheng and Shi's family.The others were watched by Hua Ji, who gained power that day, Zhou Tong, the commander of the Tongcheng garrison, and an unknown man who looked like a guard.

However, some families were left behind more or less, not only the men, but even some maidservants who were brought in to make up for it.

Everyone has the enlightenment of yesterday, and those who can get out of others will naturally get out, but if they can't, since the prefect aunt wants to cover up, it's good if one of their own people can be selected to fill the number.

This day, she wandered around the house like a revolving lantern, and the people who were picked out could see that there was a real shortage of people in her mansion, or thought that even if she couldn't make a living in the house, It is also very good to be seen by the Tongcheng Army.

Therefore, the new master and the old master, the new servant and the old servant, are suitable for each other without delay.

However, the Zheng family historian and the prefect's aunt still didn't like any of them.The Zheng family is better, at least I have seen them one by one.For historians, this little lady didn't even look at her, she just said that it was getting late and she was tired, which made Master Sun lose face again.

These two masters are actually not satisfied with the people they brought this time.

Since he wanted to arrange manpower for Bushi Juli, he had to have people he could trust first, and it was nothing more than blood relatives' nephews who were the most effective.

But although their respective households are prosperous, they each have their own errands and arrangements, and they are definitely not willing to be put in a mere prefect's relative's house as a retainer or servant.

But if you choose from other houses, you feel that being in the clan will not benefit you in the long run, but will add more hidden dangers.

In this way, it should be safest to have children from the servants of the family at that time, but in a hurry, where can I find many good-looking and capable candidates who are loyal or forced to be loyal.

It doesn't matter if you don't get selected today, you will come again tomorrow.

After the two families go back, they plan not to mention it for the time being.Also thinking about it was the mother and son who lived in the Zheng family's six-room courtyard.

Since seeing the prefect's aunt yesterday, Zheng Bai hadn't slept all night. He went to the streets early this morning to inquire about news, and only came back in the evening.
