260 Chapter 2 I can't make out ([-])
Ruoxi had no choice but to take it, Madam Hou sat down to drink tea and signaled her to go and pick it.She glanced at the list first and made them all raise their heads, looked over carefully, and immediately crossed a few people.

As the saying goes, faces are born from the heart, and it is natural to have a straight face and a fleshy face.Standing in the middle was a yellow and thin little girl with a childish look on her face.When Ruoxi's eyes rested on her, she nervously clutched the corner of her clothes, her eyes flickered in panic, obviously a little cowardly.

"What's your name?" She went over and asked with a soft smile, probably frightening the timid girl.

"I... Numaid... It's Douhua." The little girl raised her head, and then lowered her head when she saw Ruoxi busy.

"Douhua? The name is so strange, what's the origin?" Ruoxi continued to ask.

She heard Ruoxi's gentle voice and kind attitude, without any domineering posture, her nervous heart gradually settled down.

"When Nubi's mother was pregnant with Numai, she liked to eat bean curd the most, so she gave Numai such a nickname." She was a little more courageous, and she stopped stuttering when she spoke.

Ruoxi laughed when she heard this, "Then what's your name?"

"Your servant has no name!" Her expression suddenly dimmed, she lowered her head and whispered back: "I am a posthumous child, my mother died shortly after giving birth to my servant, and I haven't had time to get a name."

Alas, since I was a child, I have no parents, so it's no wonder that I was sold into the Hou's mansion by a child.Ruoxi couldn't help but sighed in her heart for a while, and paid more attention to this Douhua.

She asked a few more little girls, and she couldn't take the ones who didn't match the words at the beginning, and couldn't take the ones who were too flattering and flattering in their words.After sifting and sifting in this way, there are still five or six people who can be used, Ruoxi focuses on these five or six people.

There was one girl among them that Ruoxi had to pay attention to, because she hadn't said a word from the beginning to the end, so it was easy to be overlooked, but she was born among these five or six people.It's really not easy to be so low-key and not overlooked. It seems that she has her own uniqueness.

After screening around, Ruoxi can probably name them all.She walked up to the girl and looked up the name according to the list.

"The maidservant's name is Water Lily, and the second in the third line is the maidservant's name." The girl said.

After hearing this, Ruoxi raised her head and glanced at her, then asked, "Hey, can you read?"

"Back to the second grandma, the servant's father was a teacher, so the servant can read some words. Only because of the plague in the hometown, few people in the village died, so the servant wandered to the capital." She replied respectfully. There was no sign of coyness at all.

"How old are you?" Ruoxi looked her up and down a few times, and saw that there was a hole in her tattered clothes and shoes, but her head, face and fingernails were very clean.

"Back to Second Mistress, I have twelve maidservants." She is an older girl among this group of girls. She has also read "Hundred Surnames" and "Thousand Characters", so she knows a little bit of characters and speaks in an orderly manner.

Ruoxi looked at her and nodded secretly, thinking that she was a good seedling, and she could be used in time.

Madam Hou, who was beside her, had been quietly watching Ruoxi pick out the girls, seeing that all the girls she picked out had their heads raised, she couldn't help but secretly nodded.Originally, Mrs. Hou was worried that Ruoxi could not choose well, and planned to give her some advice when necessary, but now it seems that there is no need.

"Ma'am, Linfengju still lacks a little girl. I'm really confused, so please ask my wife to help me choose a good one." Ruoxi picked out three, and deliberately left one for Mrs. Hou to choose.

Mrs. Hou naturally liked it, so she chose one for her.Ruoxi brought the four maids back to Linfengju, and handed them over to Lue to teach them, let them get familiar with the environment of Linfengju and the rules of the Hou Mansion first.

Yi Jun came back from the palace, he heard that Ruoxi came back to pay his respects without even changing his clothes.But it's been more than 20 days, Ruoxi feels that he has grown a lot taller and thinner.

"Is it because the food cooked by the cook is not to your liking? Or is it because you are too tired from homework in the palace?" She asked with a slight frown.

Yi Jun replied with a smile: "Everything is fine, but I miss my parents and sister."

"I heard your father talk about your riding and shooting. He said that arrows and arrows can hit hearts. He was very proud to mention it!" Ruoxi smiled lightly, his face full of kindness.

Yi Jun's eyes lit up when he heard his father's praise, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.But this excitement was replaced by calmness in an instant, and he didn't even ask any more questions.This kid is too boring and awkward, just like his father!Seeing this, Ruoxi thought in her heart, but she didn't know who would be his nemesis in the future, who would make him let go of all his pretense and wanton crying and laughing.

"You've been tired in the palace all day, go down and take a shower, change clothes and rest." Ruoxi drove him back to the room.

After a while Yixuan came back, Ruoxi told him about picking girls.

After hearing this, he said: "Since grandma has entrusted them with the power of life and death, let Lue teach them well, let them know who is the only master! Don't be so soft-hearted, lest they eat inside and outside."

Ruoxi smiled without saying a word, and ordered the girl to prepare dinner, and asked Fei Hong and Yi Jun to come over for dinner.

Yixuan went in to wash up, and when he came out, he saw Ruoxi's specialty dishes on the table, he frowned and said, "You're still weak, why are you cooking yourself?"

"I didn't do much, I just kept my mouth shut." The cook in this small kitchen saw Ruoxi's dishes, and secretly learned a few of them. Although the taste was not as authentic as Ruoxi's cooking, it was still delicious.Ruoxi personally made two more dishes, which Feihong and Yijun liked to eat.

The two children came forward and back, and they sat down when they saw them.Seeing the dishes on the table, Fei Hong yelled, "It smells so delicious! The food in the mansion is delicious, or the mother's cooking is superb!"

"Little glutton!" Ruoxi smiled and picked up her favorite dish, and picked up chopsticks for Yijun.

But Yixuan put a piece of fish in Ruoxi's rice bowl, and said with a smile: "Don't patronize them, eat more." After that, he peeled a shrimp with his own hands and handed it over.

Not to mention girls and women, even Feihong and Yijun are not surprised by such a scene.At first, Ruoxi felt embarrassed in front of the children, but now she is used to it.

Watching her eat all the vegetables she had picked up, Yixuan took another big chopsticks.In his opinion, Ruoxi wasn't plump at all, and now she's getting thinner.At night, when I put my arms around her slender waist, I didn't dare to bend it too hard, for fear that it would be broken by her.

After eating and having a cup of tea, the children went back to their rooms to rest.Ruoxi smiled and said: "Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming on August [-]th, I have prepared some gifts to give away, do you see if there are any left? Are these gifts still available?"

"Last time during the Dragon Boat Festival, you took care of it very well, and everything will be done as usual, why bother yourself with such a small matter?" Yixuan hugged Ruoxi in his arms, and sniffed vigorously against her neck.The faint body fragrance on Ruoxi's body smelled particularly good, and his mouth began to become restless.
