pastoral wife

Chapter 118
Jin thought about it, and finally pointed to a little girl with the most ordinary appearance and the most honest look. After all, the maid who served by her side would inevitably have contact with Ji Wei. It's not that Jin didn't trust Ji Wei, but A woman who is too eye-catching is inevitably a temptation.

It is also the same reason, so Chunhua's appearance is always outstanding, and she is "dishonest" when she looks at her, and she is often left behind. Unless she goes to a brothel, she will become a man's sweet pastry.

Mrs. Liang chose a little girl who looked clever and capable. She was old, but she liked to have a clever and lovable child like Jiang Chu by her side.

Jiang Chu nodded, and then asked Mrs. Zhang: "Is there anyone who is more capable here? I, a slave girl who buys a big family, must have someone to help manage it."

It stands to reason that the affairs of the servant girls belong to the inner house, and the hostess naturally takes care of them in most households, but Jiang Chu doesn't have such leisure time, she can't be busy with business affairs, and the Jin family is big. The key is that she has no experience in this field, so she is afraid that she won't be able to discipline her, let alone Mrs. Liang, who is soft-faced, old, and has no dignity at all. Don't let this low-level person step on her head Not bad.

So it is better to have a housekeeper.

Mrs. Zhang immediately said: "Coincidentally! I just got a new one recently."

As he spoke, he hooked his hands at a middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man quickly stood up flattered, and bowed to Jiang Chu: "I've seen Mrs. Ji."

Jiang Chu took a look at him and asked, "Which family did you belong to?"

"Returning to Madam, the young ones used to belong to the Ling family in Xuancheng. They were originally in charge of the Ling family. Later, the Ling family got into big trouble and the family was ruined. That's why the young ones were sold everywhere. Met Madam Ji."

The manager's speech is quite measured, and his character is not obvious for the time being, but he must be a person with a brain in his actions.

The mother-in-law Zhang immediately followed and said, "Mrs. Ji, don't underestimate this person. The Ling family used to be not a small family. It was weaving in Zizhou. If you can be a manager in such a family, then what?" Have you ever seen a big scene? Hundreds of servants have been in charge, so few servants, he can take care of it at all!"

"Weaving in Zizhou?" Jiang Chu was slightly surprised, this is still a high-ranking official.

Out of curiosity, he asked one more question: "What kind of trouble did you get into? Can such a big official be defeated?"

Mrs. Zhang lowered her voice and said, "Hey, nine times out of ten, there is something involved with the previous court."

Jiang Chu instantly understood that no matter how big an official is, the emperor's wrath cannot be avoided.

Jiang Chu didn't think much about it, just nodded: "I think this person is not bad, so let's stay."

The middle-aged man quickly knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude to Dade: "Thank you Madam for your kindness! Little Sun Tongfeng thanked Madam for your kindness!"

Those of them who are in the hands of the matchmaker are actually looking forward to being bought away as soon as possible in their hearts, otherwise they will be beaten and scolded every day if they stay in the hands of the matchmaker. Where does the toothmaid make money?Especially when you meet a host with a kind face, it is simply lucky to be bought.

"Get up."

Jiang Chu looked at these people again, she felt that it should be enough, her small house is not big, and they are not very particular people, just enough people is enough.

but······
Jiang Chu raised his eyes and glanced at a person.

It happened to bump into Chunhua's head that suddenly raised her head, her eyes that had turned red at some point were still trying not to shed tears, she was clearly trembling with fear, her originally cold and proud face now seemed to be begging.

Mrs. Zhang said that she could not be sold this time, so she would be sent directly to the kiln.

Jiang Chu raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at her and said, "Do you want me to buy you?"

Chunhua trembled all over, bit her lip and lowered her head, of course she thought, she listened to Jiang Chu's nominations one by one, she didn't know how much she envied those lucky ones who were selected, at this moment, she didn't know how much she hated her own This face, if she was born ordinary, how good would it be, how good would it be if she was born ugly?

Just when she was about to despair at the end, she asked her, do you want me to buy you?
With condescending kindness.As if she already knew that her fate was in her hands, at this time she could choose to let her destroy or survive with just a casual word.

She didn't know what emotions surged up in her heart, resistance, humiliation, and... gratitude.

"Idiot, don't say anything!" Mrs. Zhang raised her hand and was about to hit her.

Jiang Chu stopped her, and said to Chunhua, "Do you want to?"

Chunhua bit her lip hard, and finally said weakly: "I want to."

A smile curled up on the corner of Jiang Chu's lips: "Then stay."

Mrs. Zhang was ecstatic, and finally threw out this hot potato, otherwise she would have to lose money!
"Hey, that's a good relationship. Let me look at it a little bit. There are five girls, two boys, and one manager. The girls and boys are all 20 taels, and the manager will be more expensive." Son, 30 taels!"

Liang's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, it cost more than 100 taels of silver!

Jiang Chu readily took out the bank note, gave the money, and delivered the goods.

Jin looked a little worried, pulled Jiang Chu and lowered her voice, and said, "I'm afraid you didn't pick the right one, this one called Chunhua looks too picky, and she is still arrogant, I don't know what will happen in the future." Will I be a maid or a master when I buy it back?"

Jiang Chu smiled lightly and said, "No matter how arrogant you are, don't you just bow your head?"

Jin was taken aback, remembering the last sentence Jiang Chu asked, and looked at Chunhua standing there with red eyes, as if half of the arrogance on her body had gone.

During the time when Jiang Chu was hanging out with her, fear had forced those arrogance to wear away bit by bit.

Jiang Chu said with a smile: "I fell in love with this girl at first sight, and I wanted to deliberately grind her temper so that I could pick her at the end. You think she is too outstanding, but I think that such an outstanding person will not be able to win in the future." That’s what makes great things happen.”

It's just that she is too arrogant, and I'm afraid she won't be able to discipline her, so it's good to use this opportunity to sharpen her spirit.

Jin still didn't understand, so she could only give her a light glance: "I'm doing this for your own good, how reliable is it to put such a person by Ji Yao's side! You don't need to be too reassured about everything."

Jiang Chu smiled and patted her hand: "I know, don't worry, I will remember."

But Jiang Chu didn't take these too seriously. She knew that Ji Yao was not an ordinary farmer, and his future would definitely not be simple and ordinary. Jiang Chu could guess how many temptations there were along the way. What I can do is to give him the greatest trust, and he will naturally give her the greatest sense of security in return. This is the most basic tacit understanding between them.
