Bai Shan and Bai Erlang didn't have girls around them, because they grew up in the village, they didn't even have personal servants like Changshou and Jiyu.
Because it's not necessary, who takes a boy with him when he goes to school and plays in the mud in the village
Daji beside Baishan just watched Baishan not let him get into danger, whether he climbed a tree to dig out bird eggs or fished in the water, as long as his life was not in danger, Daji didn't care.
And when I got home, except for dressing and eating, other things were also taken care of.
But whether in Qili Village, Yizhou City or the capital, the two of them are served by the same group of people, the guards who travel, and the servants who serve at home are familiar people, and Man Bao is the same.
After arriving in the capital, Mrs. Liu assigned two people to take care of Man Bao in order to allow them more time to do their own things.
In fact, they don't do much, they just give her hot water when she is in bed occasionally, but most of the time they sweep the yard, help her wash clothes, sew some things, or serve some snacks, the work is not many.
It has been two or three years, and everyone has been getting along like this. Both girls know that Miss Man is going to marry the young master in the future, and they have long regarded her as their master. Serve by your side, then accumulate qualifications to marry those who are served by the young master, and then be the aunt in charge...
But who would have thought that Miss Man suddenly brought back ten maidservants, not to mention very beautiful, who could dance and sing. Hearing from them, they shared hardships with their masters along the way.
The two girls felt pressured instantly, thinking that they might take their positions away.
After all, they are still servants of the Bai family in name, but these ten people were brought back by Miss Man from outside, so it may be more legitimate.
So in the past few days, the two of them have been rushing to work, extremely diligent.
In the past, after Manbao woke up, he went to the kitchen to fetch hot water to wash his face. Bai Shan and Bai Erlang are also used to doing this kind of thing by themselves. Everyone can wake up when they are queuing up in the kitchen. Gossip.
But Manbao hasn't gone to the kitchen to fetch water for four consecutive days, because every time she wakes up from the bed, the two girls are already waiting outside with water.
Xibing and the others didn't know the inside story, and thought that being a girl was all about doing these things, and they were afraid that they would be sold again if they didn't do well, so they have been actively expressing themselves recently.
Man Bao and the others didn't spend much time at home every day, so they didn't feel deeply, but Xiao Qian and the others were at home most of the time. When Man Bao and the others were not there, the girls became the object of competition.
They: ... are also very panicked.
Xiaoqian said: "Because there was no one at the porter on the day you came home, so your third brother was asked to open the door, and Mrs. Liu severely fined the porter afterwards. Your third brother was very embarrassed when he found out, thinking about it I made them tired."
Man Bao frowned, "What does it have to do with the third brother? Originally, there was only one person in the concierge, and they had their own shifts. Grandma Liu was angry because they didn't obey the rules."
"Your third brother thought that he let them go down to rest..."
Man Bao then smiled and said: "I see, I told my third brother later that if he is really sorry, then my sister-in-law will cook some meals for my third brother to deliver to them."
Little Qian nodded her forehead and said: "Is this what matters? What matters is the affairs in your house. How will the ten girls arrange it?"
Man Bao smiled and said, "What's the problem? I'll talk about it after I ask them."
Ten girls, their previous names were not their own, and they were all Gaochang names, which would take a long time to translate into Chinese, so on the way back, they asked Man Bao to change their names.
Because they were all sold since they were young, not only their parents and family members, but also their surnames were forgotten, so Man Bao and the others discussed and said: "You all followed us from Xizhou, and you are all from the Western Regions, so why don't you just take us?" One Western character, as for the latter characters, you can choose by yourself."
Man Bao also encouraged them at the time, "The name is half of what you choose. It is not only your good expectation for yourself, but also an expression of your favorite things. How wonderful."
If only she could name herself...
When Man Bao thought about it, he felt that he didn't have a better name.
So the ten people had different names at that time, and the ones who often took care of Manbao were Xibing and Xihua, and they were the ones who had the most fierce fight with the two girls these days.
After returning home, Man Bao found a time to call all ten people to his side, and asked them, "You have also arrived in the capital now, do you want to stay in the back house to serve, or do you want to go outside?"
The ten people were startled, and Xibing and Xihua's expressions changed even more in fright, and they knelt down with a plop, begging, "Master Zhou, please don't drive us away."
Man Bao quickly helped him up and said: "I don't mean to drive you away, you should know that you have followed us all the way, I have some business outside, such as my second niece, they will often go to the grassland, It is possible to go to the Western Regions in the future.”
"You can speak nonsense and know the customs. If you don't want to stay in the back house, you can also follow my second niece. You will never be short of wages." Man Bao said: "Besides, my family There is also a shop outside that specializes in making ointments, and I see that you also helped make medicines when you were in the Western Regions, as long as you are willing to learn, you should be able to make ointments in the shop."
"Of course, if you don't like both, you can stay in the back house," Man Bao smiled and said, "I'll take you to see Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng later, and let them arrange places for you again. Not very tiring."
The ten people were relieved now, looked at each other and asked hesitantly, "Which Master Zhou would you like us to choose?"
Man Bao burst out laughing, looked at them tenderly and said, "Seeing if you like it, you can even give it a try. No matter where you go, it will always be useful."
Even at home, they can always be arranged, so there is no need.
Only then did the ten people feel completely relieved, and after muttering quietly, four of them chose to make ointment, five of them chose to stay in the back house, and only one Xi Cong chose to follow Zhou Lijun.
She asked: "My lord, if I go to the Western Regions, will I be able to marry my beloved in the future?"
Man Bao nodded and said: "As long as the man you fancy is willing to marry you, I will give you the deed of life without taking any money."
Xi Cong breathed a sigh of relief, and said bluntly to Man Bao, "I want to marry Da Yu."
Man Bao almost choked on his own saliva, coughed several times before asking: "Why? Do you like him?"
Xi Cong said: "He is rich and powerful. As long as he is willing to marry me, I will follow him."
She said bluntly: "I don't think I will go hungry if I follow him."
Man Bao: ...you won't be hungry if you follow me.
