Black-bellied Xianggong: Cute wife is not easy to mess with

Chapter 75 Choosing a Maid

"I have a lot of things on hand, let's talk about it later. It's you, take Qingwan to our house to see more, clean it up, and don't make the nobleman dissatisfied." Mu Changguang thought about Tian Sanniang He still had a strong body, but he really couldn't arouse any interest. He frowned and left after finishing speaking.

Kang shi sighed, and was about to ask Xiao Cui'er to call Mu Qingwan, but saw that she was already standing at the door, and hurriedly beckoned her in.Mu Qingwan went to sit next to Mrs. Kang, and said, "Mother, I want to go to the countryside."

"What are you going to do in the country?" Kang was a little surprised, "Your father just left a message telling us to hurry up and clean up the other courtyard. At these times, it's important to receive the nobles. We'd better wait until the matter is over before going to the country."

It seems that there is really no reason to go to the countryside, more important than receiving nobles, but the news of the Kang family's marriage proposal must be let Shi Tianci know, otherwise, who will use the hand to disturb the matter?Mu Qingwan became distressed.

At this time, the Kang family had already started talking on their own: "The Bai family was in a panic for a while since the Zhuangzi burned down last time. Fortunately, they have a lot of Zhuangzi, and they quickly cleaned up another one. The magistrate of Liang County has already approved it." " Then he asked her: "Do you want to go see it again? Their Mrs. Xiao has already been invited."

Still going to see Zhuangzi of the Bai family?Forget it, the psychological shadow from last time was really too great, she is not a fairy, she doesn't have that courage, Mu Qingwan shook her head without hesitation.

Kang obviously didn't want to go either, and he didn't have any different opinions. He just said, "It's a pity that your father doesn't allow us to speak out about this matter, otherwise it would be great to invite your aunt to help. Don't think your aunt's house is simple. In fact, she is the best at tidying up the house."

She has never been in contact with her natal family, but suddenly she regrets that she cannot invite Mrs. He to help decorate the other courtyard?Mu Qingwan glanced at Kang's, but didn't make a sound.

Mrs. Kang was obviously also a little uncomfortable, she was silent for a while, and changed the subject: "I was thinking, Tian Sanniang has no one to serve her, which is really inconvenient, and it happens that you and Qinglian have few people to serve her, why don't you take advantage of today Find and pick a few proper maids, what do you think?"

The Kang family had already said about the selection of maids, Mu Qingwan had no objection and nodded.The Kang family asked people to invite Ren Yazi, and also asked Xiao Cui'er to inform Mu Qinglian.

After a while, before Ren Yazi arrived, Mu Qinglian came first, followed by Aunt Luo who looked unhappy.As soon as Aunt Luo stepped into the threshold, she started to get angry: "Oh, the third girl really knows how to be in charge of the house, a hired concubine, and she plans to buy a maid for her. Although our family's money is now in the hands of the third girl But I still advise you to save money, after all, it is not easy for the master to make money."

It has been several days since Tian Sanniang came to Mu's house, but Mu Changguang spent at least half of his time resting in Aunt Luo's room. I went to the East Corner Courtyard, so Aunt Luo regained her vigor and spirit at home, wishing she could be stronger than before.

Kang was afraid that Mu Qingwan and Aunt Luo would quarrel and make people laugh later, so she hurriedly said: "It is my idea to buy a maid for Tian Sanniang, I will pay for it."

To buy a maid for a concubine's room, and the mistress pays for it herself?Why?The Kang Corporation is still too weak!Mu Qingwan gently tugged on Kang's skirt, motioning her to keep silent, and then said to Aunt Luo: "It's just assigned to her, not taken away by her, what's the matter? Aunt Luo is a Mu Si official The concubine's room is too stingy, aren't you afraid of spreading the word and being called petty?"

Aunt Luo wholeheartedly wanted to squeeze out the Kang family, and the person who was the wife of her own was most afraid of being called petty, so she had no choice but to hold back her full of acid words.

Mu Qingwan looked at her groaning appearance, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, she just wanted to pass the news to Shi Tianci's ears, who would be the same?Maybe Aunt Luo, or Mu Qinglian, would work better...

Thinking of this, she suddenly stopped worrying, and asked Aunt Luo and Mu Qinglian with a smile: "I miss the old lady these days, and I want to go back to my hometown to see her old man, but I have no choice but to do something that my father told me , can't get away, I don't know if any of you are free, go to the countryside for me to have a look?"

Just to ridicule her for being petty, but then turn around and want her to run errands?How can there be such a good thing!She won't help!While thinking about it, Aunt Luo signaled Mu Qinglian with her eyes not to agree.But Mu Qinglian didn't even look at her, so she nodded to Mu Qingwan and said, "Third Sister really wanted to go with me, and I was going back to the countryside to see the old lady, why don't I leave tomorrow , bring your heart to you."

Is this my dear niece?How do you turn your elbows outward?Aunt Luo was in a hurry and yanked Mu Qinglian's clothes from behind.But Mu Qinglian frowned and avoided—there were a lot of things in Mu's family these days, and she was about to go to the countryside to report the news to Shi Tianci, so Mu Qingwan begged her to kill two birds with one stone, why didn't she agree? ?

Mu Qingwan saw the small actions of their aunt and nephew, and smiled secretly. If she guessed correctly, the reason why Mu Qinglian readily agreed to go to the countryside was the same as hers, and she could finally put her heart back a little bit. I'm in the stomach, I just hope that Shi Tianci's methods are clever and don't let her down.

When Ren Yazi arrived, he led dozens of young maidservants, all of whom were fourteen or fifteen years old, in a long line, filed into the hall, and stood in a row in front of Kang.

Mu Qingwan took a closer look, and found that these little girls were all good-looking, and most of all, they had regular facial features and delicate appearance, and there were two or three of them who had the appearance of sinking fish and wild goose. If they stayed for a few more years, they must be great beauties.It seems that Ren Yazi is very clear about Kang's intentions, and he always brings in girls who are suitable to be housekeepers.

Mu Qinglian's eyes lingered on the most beautiful girls for a while, and turned to the most ordinary girls for a while, her expression was very complicated.She is not good-looking, and I know it well. According to this situation, I should choose two beautiful maids to help win over my husband's heart in the future, but if the maids are too beautiful, wouldn't they compare her to a serious lady go down?So, she was hesitant.

Aunt Luo looked at the girls from the beginning to the end, commented critically, then stood by with her arms folded and looked at Tian Sanniang who had just arrived.

Kang asked Ren Yazi a few words, and then said to Mu Qingwan and Mu Qinglian: "You pick first, two each, and let Tian Sanniang pick the rest."

Mu Qingwan was not willing to ask for a roommate, so she naturally chose someone with an ordinary appearance, a sharp mind, and a righteous outlook. She had a rough idea in her heart and started to ask questions.First eliminate three people who are too beautiful; then eliminate two people who are unwilling to sign a death contract, and one person who is not a good worker; finally, there are five people left. Eat watermelon', how do you answer?"

Faced with such a question, one of them immediately took the opportunity and stayed away; one of them replied: "My servant does not eat, thank you for your concern"; the other replied: "My servant, thank you for your reward"; , Miss, do you want to eat, I will cut it for you"; the last person replied: "Thank you for the reward, I will go and cut some for the girl."

Mu Qingwan had heard their answers, and left the latter two behind. The world is dangerous, and the house is hard work. She needs two helpers who can hear the undertones by her side.

Kang looked at the two girls, and couldn't help frowning. This is the person who will be brought to her in-law's house in the future. How can her appearance be just good-looking?You have to pick a beautiful one anyway, right?She hinted to Mu Qingwan several times to change to another one, but Mu Qingwan always acted as if she hadn't seen it. In front of so many people, she couldn't say it clearly, so she had to let it go.

Next it was Mu Qinglian's turn. She looked at the two that Mu Qingwan had picked out, and decided to go against her. She chose the two most beautiful girls. Of course, they were both dead.

In the end it was Tian Sanniang's turn. Without waiting for Kang to speak, she took the initiative to say: "I will leave after giving birth, and the maid will be ordered by the wife in the end, so it is up to the wife to choose, as long as the wife is satisfied."

Kang motioned for her to come forward, and said, "That's up to you, don't you? Take a look, just pick whichever fits your eyes."

Although Tian Sanniang was born with a rough look, she was not mean-spirited. After a few excuses, she picked the one with the most ordinary appearance, even more ordinary than the two Mu Qingwan picked.The purpose of her coming to Mu's house was to give birth to a child. At such a critical moment, she couldn't get a beautiful little maid to come in and be spoiled by Mu Changguang.

All three were chosen, and Kang looked at the two that Mu Qingwan had chosen, and sighed for a while, seeing that Mu Qingwan had no intention of changing them, so she gave up, negotiated a good price with Ren Yazi, and paid the money , and asked someone to send her out with the girls who were not selected.

Mu Qingwan was quite satisfied with her new maids. They had round faces and the other had long faces. She named the one with round faces Lingxiu and the one with long faces Lingxin.Well, although she is a novelist, she has always been incompetent in choosing names. These two names are enough to make her cry. Fortunately, Lingxiu and Lingxin are not well educated, and they are just such two not so good names. , has made them excited.

Mu Qinglian personally picked the beautiful maids, but she didn't seem to like them very much, so she casually named them Little Comb and Little Mirror. Mu Qingwan looked at their gorgeous looks, and said these two names again, how did she really pronounce them? What a violation.

The maid Tian Sanniang chose was named Qiqiao because she was born on the seventh day of July.It has to be said that the highest level of naming here is none other than the Kang Corporation.

After choosing the name, Kang looked at the beautiful comb and mirror, Lingxiu and Lingxin who couldn't be found in the crowd, and couldn't help sighing again.Mu Qingwan couldn't stand her resentful eyes, so she hurriedly took two new maids and slipped back to the West Chamber.
