good wife

Chapter 4

Su Jing smiled hurriedly: "No, no. The younger sister is born with a beautiful face."

Jing Yi gave her a white look, and said with a light smile, "Okay, don't make fun of my sister. I'm only seven years old this year, how can I match up with the words beautiful and beautiful?"

After finishing speaking, the two sisters couldn't help chuckling.

As soon as Su Jingwei left, the butler brought a 40-year-old woman over.This is the tooth that Su Wei ordered someone to find.

Su Wei came to accompany her whenever she was free after Jingyi was injured. Seeing that there was only one nanny in her yard, a big maid and a ten-year-old girl serving her closely, she couldn't help feeling dissatisfied with Bai's .Therefore, he ordered the housekeeper to let Yazi bring the people directly, and Jingyi personally selected them.

Today, this human tooth was chosen by Jing Yi.The housekeeper ordered them all to wait in the yard, he went in and reported, and then invited Jingyi to choose.

Jingyi saw that the old woman led more than a dozen little girls and they were all standing in the porch, waiting for her to choose, but she understood in her heart that choosing a girl seems simple, but in fact it is choosing a confidant for herself, how could Mrs. Bai let such a thing go? Good chance?
Jingyi glanced at the girls below, and she knew it in her heart.She made the girls stand in a row.She began to look carefully at the first one. There were eighteen girls in total. It took Jingyi a lot of time to walk down this trip.

It is early summer, and a lot of flowers and plants have been planted in the yard, attracting a lot of butterflies to dance.

Jingyi smiled and glanced at the flying butterflies, she took a step forward, and those butterflies flew towards this side one after another, one landed on Jingyi's left shoulder, and the others landed on On the heads of the girls below, some fell on the flowers not far away.

Jingyi whispered a few words to Nanny He beside her, and Nanny He nodded and said to the little girls below: "Counting from left to right, the third, sixth, seventh, tenth, No. No. 12, No. 13, No. 15. You all take a step back."

The people below looked at each other in dismay, but they didn't dare to delay. They counted their positions, and those who were pointed took a step back.

In this way, there are still eleven people left.Jingyi walked down the corridor, walked around the 11 people, asked them to stretch out their hands, looked at each of them, and removed three more people.

There are only eight people left.After Jingyi ordered He Nanny to do some research, she picked out four of them to stay.The housekeeper took the rest of the group out again.The woman took a look at Jingyi, and handed over the deed of selling herself for the four of them to Nanny He.The woman's eyes were full of puzzlement, as if hesitating to speak.

Jingyi smiled at her, didn't speak, and took the four of them back to the house.

After Jingyi sat down, the four of them knelt down and kowtowed.Jingyi said softly: "Don't be afraid, all of you raise your heads and tell me your names and family backgrounds, and what do you know? I can also let people watch and arrange your errands."

The four agreed, and then told each other their names and backgrounds.Jingyi nodded frequently, and Nanny He on the side had already written it down and put it away.

Mother He said: "No matter what you were called before and what you did, now that you have entered the Hou Mansion, you are the people of the Hou Mansion. Your contract of sale is now in the hands of the young lady. In the future, you must remember the rules of the Hou Mansion , don't smear Miss's face!"

The four of them kowtowed again and said, "Your maidservant will remember the teachings of the nanny! Please give me your name!"

Jingyi smiled and named the four people respectively: Liu Tao, Liu Mei, Liu He, and Liu Ju.The four of them thanked them for their kindness, and they all withdrew.

Haitang asked: "Miss, why did you get rid of those people in the first place?"

"That's because they used face powder and hair oil that ordinary people can't afford. Didn't you see those butterflies landed on their heads and were reluctant to leave?" Jingyi didn't tell the truth, but used a cover.

Xing'er didn't understand: "But what does this have to do with it?"

Haitang scolded with a smile: "It's really stupid! This means that they were given benefits by others, don't you understand?"

These words are already very straightforward, Xing'er understood immediately.He just looked at Jingyi with admiration.

Nanny He nodded in agreement and said, "Miss, these four are clumsy when they first arrive, so why not start with the third-class girls first, and if they do well, they will be promoted slowly."

Jingyi smiled and said: "Just follow what Mammy wants. Mammy, what shall we eat today?"

Mother He hurriedly said: "Miss, forgot? Early this morning, Master Hou sent someone to tell Miss to go to the Flower Hall for dinner."

Only then did Jingyi remember this.After her father left here that day, two cooks were transferred from the big kitchen, and a small kitchen was opened in her yard, dedicated to her daily life.These days, Jingyi always eats meals in her own yard, never having meals with her grandparents.

Jingyi looked at the sky, and freshened up.He didn't wear any headgear on his head, just a collar around his neck.Then she ordered Xing'er to find out a light yellow dress for herself to change into.The master and servant walked slowly towards the flower hall in the main courtyard.

As soon as the master and servant entered the main courtyard, they heard a burst of laughter, which was the laughter of the old lady and Mrs. Bai.Jingyi stood and looked towards the flower hall, a small sparrow was flying towards her and landed on Jingyi's left shoulder.

Jingyi asked softly: "Little Sparrow, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've gained weight again. Do you know what they are laughing at?"

The little sparrow started chirping non-stop again, as if answering Jingyi's question.Mammy He and the others looked at it in a daze: Could it be that this little sparrow can understand people's words?

Jingyi waited for the little sparrow to stop singing, then put it on a branch beside it, and the master and servant entered the flower hall.

Except for the father and eldest brother, everyone else was there.Jingyi bowed to her grandparents and stood aside.

Mrs. Bai was originally sitting at the bottom of the old lady, when she saw Jingyi coming in, she hurriedly got up and saluted Jingyi.Jingyi returned a half-respect.

Su Jingwei also stood up and bowed to her.

In this grand mansion, the concubine has always been the most important.A concubine's room can never surpass the main room, not only that, but a concubine's room is not allowed to be on the stage in an ordinary family, and the concubine's room is not allowed to participate in any festive activities or banquets at home.

This Mrs. Bai was able to have meals with the elders at home, which showed that she was favored by the elders, mainly the old lady.

Bai's eyes flashed brightly: "Yiyi's complexion looks good, presumably she has already recovered, right? I haven't seen you come to pay your respects to grandparents these days. I thought you were still in poor health, so I didn't dare to go to your yard rashly." , for fear of disturbing you."

This Bai family's words are actually unruly. It stands to reason that she should call herself the second young lady, a concubine, and she is not qualified to directly call the first lady and young master by their names.It's just that the old lady is her own aunt, so she dares to be so presumptuous!
