reborn princess

Chapter 555
It's not that she can't handle those calculations, but that she simply doesn't have the energy to deal with them.

So, after thinking about it, she came up with the idea of ​​asking Xuan Chen to come up with a "beauty trick", so as to see who among these girls is a gentleman?Who can't resist temptation?
"Ms. Zhou has worked hard! Just because of Mrs. Zhou's face, I have to choose a few to keep today, so as not to let Mrs. Zhou go for nothing." Shen Weilan smiled at her and greeted her A few words. "Who else is there in Mrs. Zhou's family?"

Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: "Thanks to Miss, my wife and I have both children and my parents-in-law are still alive."

"So, Madam is really a lucky person." Shen Weilan pointed to a chair below and said. "Auntie, please sit down. My family has a large population, and there are many people who use it. I will have to trouble my aunt in the future."

"Miss Xie gave me a seat..." Mrs. Zhou was a very courteous person, and hurriedly thanked Shen Weilan, then turned sideways and carefully sat on the chair halfway.

Ke'er turned around and went into the kitchen room inside. Although Shen Weilan gave all the girls to others, but because the family was short of manpower, Dushino was still helping to boil the water in the kitchen room, and they could come back after everyone practiced. Take a medicinal bath, just wait for someone to be found today, and then replace Dushino, so that she can serve Brother Zhuoer with peace of mind.

Seeing the hot water on the stove, Ke'er brewed three cups with Lao Jun's eyebrows, and put a cup for each of Xuan Chen, Shen Weilan and Zhou Shi.

Shen Weilan greeted: "Ms. Zhou, try my tea. This tea is 'Laojunmei'. It was sent from the south by the eldest son's family."

Mrs. Zhou was flattered and said: "Then I really have to taste it. In our place, we drink tea bricks. How can we afford such precious tea? Just smelling the fragrance will almost take my soul away."

Shen Weilan laughed cooperatively, "Ma'am is really good at telling jokes, I think tea bricks are better, and horse milk tea made with tea bricks is said to be the most nourishing."

Xuan Chen heard Shen Weilan chattering with Zhou Shi, and was amused in his heart. Holding the cup lid in his hand, he slowly used the cup lid to shake the slender and blooming tea stalks on the clear green tea soup.

Shen Weilan chatted with Mrs. Zhou for a while, then looked at the little girls who were already standing impatiently, and asked, "Are there any literate among you?"

These little girls look at me and I look at you. After a long time, a little girl with a yellow face and muscular body tremblingly raised her hand and said in a voice like a mosquito: "I... I know a few words. .”

"You stand here first!" Shen Weilan didn't say whether to keep her or not, but just pointed to her left hand.

The little girl hurriedly stood up, she had very regular facial features, a small face the size of a palm, and a pair of big eyes like black grapes, but long-term malnutrition made her very thin.

Shen Weilan looked at her attire, and saw that although her clothes were ragged, the stitches were neat, and the starch was very clean, and her hair was neatly combed, not as unkempt as some little girls, so she liked it in her heart.

But she didn't put all her attention on this little girl. She didn't just pick one girl today. Today, she had to pick twenty or thirty people in total.

There is no one around her now, so there are four vacancies, her mother has two vacancies, Zhuo Geer has three vacancies, that is, nine vacancies.

In addition, there is Song Jiacong by his side, and there is no shortage of people.

It's just the maids around everyone, the more people in the family, the more work, the manpower in the kitchen must also increase, and the manpower for laundry must also increase.

Then she asked: "Is there anyone who knows a certain skill, like sewing or cooking?"

A few more little girls raised their hands.

Shen Weilan raised her eyes and glanced at them, then pointed to her right hand, "You stand here, and the others come over one by one, let me see their hands."

Those little girls came up one by one and showed her their hands.

Shen Weilan sees who has clean and tidy hands but still has calluses on them, so she keeps them, because only those who work every day have calluses on their hands, and such people are more industrious in comparison.

As for the kind of person whose family is poor but whose small hands are kept white and tender, Shen Weilan doesn't think it's suitable for this family.

Suddenly, Xuan Chen's hand trembled, and the tea cup in his hand fell off the kang table, and it just hit his side. He frowned and stood up, reaching out to brush off the tea leaves on his body.

At this moment, a pretty little girl rushed out from the crowd, holding a light pink cotton handkerchief in her hand, knelt down at Xuan Chen's feet, and raised her hand to wipe the tea stains on Xuan Chen's body , and asked softly: "Master, are you okay? Is it burnt? If it's burnt, it's better to take some scald ointment and wipe it off to be serious."

Xuan Chen curled the corners of his mouth with a ferocious expression, lowered his head and glanced at her and said, "You are sensible, among these people, you are the only one who cares about you."

The little girl lowered her head with a reddish face, "Your maidservant...the servant girl has overstepped the bounds. The servant girl is just a natural reaction. When she sees someone hurt, she can't help but want to care..."

As she spoke, she shyly walked quickly back to stand among the crowd.

Xuan Chen smiled slightly, gestured to take off his clothes, and muttered loudly: "It's really annoying, I spilled tea all over my body, I'd better change clothes."

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw two little girls who were close to him rushing over, "Master, let this servant help you change your clothes."

Ke'er scolded with a cold face: "Mr. Zhou, where did you get all these people? Why do you post them when you see men? Are there any rules? They think our family is a brothel?"

Shen Weilan suppressed the smile in her heart, and let Ke'er get mad.

Immediately, Mrs. Zhou was so scolded that she couldn't get off the stage, and she was embarrassed to sit any longer, so she jumped up and trotted to Xuan Chen's side, one in each hand, holding the two little girls who came over by their ears and threw them aside. She cursed loudly: "You little whores, you were short of men in your previous life, and you are so self-deprecating, even if you think you are a bitch, the son of the world is not the client! How can you allow you to be so vicious? Thieves practiced?"

Ke'er heard her scolding vulgarly, and said: "Okay, Mrs. Zhou, if you want to discipline them, you should go home and discipline them. Our house is not the place for you to discipline them. We dare not want these people. Your old man should take them back."

At this moment, Shen Weilan reached out and pointed at a few little girls, "Keep these few, and take the rest away."

Feeling ashamed today, Mrs. Zhou was so angry that she beat the little girls who were not left behind by Shen Weilan a few times.

Shen Weilan said to Ke'er: "Ke'er, go back and bring a set of clothes for the son, and let the son change."

Originally it would be most convenient for Xuan Chen to go back to the house to change clothes, but now that there are snowflakes outside, she is afraid that if he is wet by the cold wind, it will be bad if he gets sick.

Ke'er nodded in agreement, then turned around and went out to help Xuan Chen get the clothes.

After a while, the Zhou family brought in another group of people, Shen Weilan still carefully selected, first asked if anyone was literate, then asked if anyone had a skill, and finally looked at their hands. During this process, Xuan Chen still sat Sell ​​"hue" there and see if anyone will take the bait for fun.

After five rounds of screening, Shen Weilan only selected 24 people.

Among these 24 people, 20 are young maidservants, four are daughter-in-laws in their [-]s, and two are older wives.

In addition to these 24 people, she also selected ten young juniors, one is to help Uncle Zhong run errands and clean up, and the other is to do some rough work.

She distributed all these people to each room, and the little maid who claimed to be literate stayed with her and became the big maid.

This maid's surname is Jin, and her name is Jin Xue'er, which is a pleasant name, but because the daughter of General Bailixiao of Zhenbei is named Bailixue, Shen Weilan always calls her Xue'er, which is somewhat the same name.

In such a big family's family, it is taboo for a servant to have the same name as the master, so Shen Weilan changed her name to Shihui.

Shihui is 15 years old this year. When Shen Weilan asked her, she bluntly said that she had a master's house before, and she was originally serving the young master. The new wife came in and couldn't accommodate her, so she sold her.

She asked Ke'er to find out the origins of these servants with Mrs. Zhou, she didn't want to leave any hidden dangers around her.

Following her four maids, she sent them all to the south room of the East Wing. This time, Xuan Chen had no choice but to stay in this yard anymore. He hated him so much that his teeth itch, but there was nothing he could do.

Fortunately, except for bathing, sleeping, and going to the toilet every day, he was almost inseparable from Shen Weilan, so he moved back to the yard next door very peacefully.

Shen Weilan asked Shihui to write a roster, set a monthly fee for each person, and then handed over the roster together with these people's contracts of sale to Sui Youran.

Sui Youran looked over the roster carefully, and couldn't help but said worriedly: "Lan'er, these people, each of these people have a lot of money just for the monthly allowance, right?"

"Mother, don't worry, I still have the money." Shen Weilan roughly settled an account for her mother. "The food on the village is enough to eat, and several shops will send money regularly. In the future, the accounts will be transferred to the company. Don't be stupid and use your private money to fill in. I know you I'm impatient with keeping accounts, so I'm looking for an accountant. When the time comes, there will be an accountant in the inner courtyard and an accountant in the outer courtyard. If you need anything, just ask them for it. All the rules will be the same as when we were in the prime minister's mansion. stand up."

Sui Youran laughed, and stretched out her hand to hold her daughter in her arms, "It is said that my daughter is mother's little padded jacket, which is true, what would I do without my Lan'er?"
