This girl came over, bowed to Shui Ruolan, and then bowed her head politely without saying a word. She looked like a big girl next to everyone, and made people nod her head at her!
"What's your name?" Shui Ruolan asked softly after looking at it.
"Liu Xue."
"How old are you this year?"
"Thirteen!"
"Do you miss home?"
"Think!" The question and answer were very natural, even with the grievance of a girl whose family was ignorant. She was sold by her own family, and there were a few children who were not aggrieved.
Qin Wanru's eyes slowly fell and fell on her hands. Her hands were always sleeved in her clothes. These clothes should have been issued by Mrs. Ya. All the girls in the courtyard wore such clothes, including Liu Xue. , but the clothes were a little too short. When she moved just now, a section of her wrist was exposed, with some old and new scars on it.
But in the blink of an eye, the sleeves were covered again, making it impossible to see at all.
"Then..." Shui Ruolan was extremely satisfied with Liu Xue. She thought it would be great for this girl to be a personal maid beside Qin Wanru. She was about to speak and settle down when she suddenly heard voices coming from the entrance of the courtyard and raised her head. When he took a look, he saw Qin Yuru coming with several maids and wives, and his face darkened involuntarily.
Qin Yuru's face was covered with a piece of gauze to cover the scars on her face and prevent dust from getting into the scars. Leaving only a pair of eyes outside, she hugged her tightly with her right hand and carefully held her right hand with her left hand.
After coming in, he bent slightly towards Shui Ruolan and said, "Aunt Shui, I'm not in good health and I can't do the courtesy. I hope Aunt Shui will forgive me."
"Yuru, you don't have to be polite. Is this injury... okay?" Shui Ruolan's eyes fell on Qin Yuru's injured right hand, looked at it, and asked gently.
"Not very good." Qin Yuru lowered her head and said bitterly.
"It's okay. Let the servants take care of themselves. There won't be any scars." Shui Ruolan comforted her in a low voice.
"Thank you Aunt Shui." Qin Yuru said politely, turning to look at Qin Wanru, "As if my sister is picking people here, how about I borrow some light and pick a few maids? There is nothing going on in the past, and I don't think I have enough manpower. "Sir, I injured my hand recently, and I realized that there are a few people in the yard, so I can't use it."
"Sister, it's your choice!" Qin Wanru smiled slightly and said calmly.
Qin Yuru's attitude today is really good. Not only is she very kind to herself, but she also looks like she has no grudge against him. So many things have happened, and the two of them can't go back to the past. Qin Yuru's appearance seems to be something else. She was drawing, but she didn't know what she was drawing.
"Second sister, have you chosen someone here?" Qin Yuru rolled her eyes around and said with a smile.
"We haven't chosen anyone yet, big sister, let's choose first!" Qin Wanru shook her head.
"What about this girl?" Qin Yuru's eyes glanced at the crowd for a few times, then suddenly fell on Liu Xue, looking at her with interest.
Shui Ruolan frowned. She didn't like Qin Yuru's domineering behavior, but her current status had no right to criticize her.
"This girl didn't have a choice, so why did the eldest sister fall in love with her?" Qin Wanru glanced at Liu Xue with a half-smile, then turned her big smiling eyes to Qin Yuru, "If the eldest sister really takes a fancy to this girl, In fact, it’s not non-negotiable!”
"Didn't the second sister say that she hasn't chosen yet? Why do we still need to discuss it?" Qin Yuru said with a hint of dissatisfaction. In the past, if she had to choose a maid, Qin Yuru would usually choose it first. As long as she chooses the remaining ones, Qin Yuru can Just like choosing, this is almost a rule in the house, even Mrs. Ya knows it.
Hearing what she said, Mrs. Ya hurriedly walked forward with a smile on her face and said: "If the eldest lady likes it, the eldest lady will take it. There will be no negotiation. The second lady on the left and right has not started to formally select the person!"
The backyard of the General's Mansion is Mrs. Di's business. Now everyone outside knows that the eldest lady is Mrs. Di's biological daughter. Of course, Mrs. Ya has to fawn on her.
"I've taken a fancy to him, but I haven't officially selected the person. This person can still be taken away by my eldest sister, is that what you mean?" Qin Wanru looked at Mrs. Ya with a half-smile and asked.
Mrs. Ya's heart skipped a beat when she asked this question. She immediately thought of what happened in Jiangzhou recently and hurriedly waved her hand, "That's not what I mean. I mean that since the second young lady hasn't taken a fancy to her yet, the eldest lady has already taken a fancy to her. The eldest lady can choose first."
The eldest lady's reputation is not very good recently. It is said that she can't even leave the house, but the second lady's reputation is very good, and it is said that she is getting more and more favored by the general. If this really offends the second lady, it will be The gain outweighs the loss.
"What do you mean, elder sister?" Qin Wanru asked.
"Of course I mean what the second sister wants. Since the second sister has chosen someone, it would be pointless for me to choose another person. I will pick two more people. Does the second sister have any objections?" Qin Yuru said in a nice way, and actually Having given up on Liu Xue, her eyes fell on the crowd.
Shui Ruolan's expression became better, and she looked at Qin Yuru with some hesitation. Di is so vicious, is Qin Yuru really not that bad? After all, he is still young. Even if he was ruined by Di's teaching before, he is not hopeless!
"Sister, you are so polite. Just choose whoever you like!" Qin Wanru said gracefully.
Qin Yuru's eyes flashed with joy, and she seemed very happy. She walked into the crowd and looked left and right, and after a while she selected four maids.
These four maids all look very smart. They can be said to be the smartest ones among the people brought by Mrs. Ya this time. And these four maids have been standing at the front of the crowd just now, all looking pretty and pretty. , looks very pleasant, with smart eyes but a sensible expression.
After these few people were picked out like this, the remaining people seemed to be on a lower level.
"Second sister, is it okay if I choose these few people?" Qin Yuru looked like she was letting Qin Wanru make up her mind, as if she would let people out as long as Qin Wanru said no.
"Eldest sister has taken a fancy to it, that's all!" Qin Wanru said nonchalantly, "Aunt Yu, go down and help me choose a few maids."
Aunt Yu nodded and walked over. She looked carefully. No one in the yard took the young lady seriously before. Although it was Madam who instigated it from behind, it was also the reason why she didn't choose a good person. The person who chose the person was Aunt Fang, when she chooses people this time, she can't just pick people who are willing to take advantage of others.
The girls that Aunt Yu picked this time were all the kind of girls who looked well-behaved. Although they were not as clever as those few, they generally looked respectful to their master. Aunt Yu picked ten at once. There were a lot of people missing in the yard, so she had to pick a few more to get around.
"Second sister, can you give me this girl? I think it's pretty good." Qin Yuru suddenly pointed at a girl chosen by Grandma Yu and said, "I'll trade this girl next to me for yours, okay?"
She pointed to a girl next to her and said, this is the most outstanding-looking of the four people Qin Yuru just picked. At this time, she stood quietly next to Qin Yuru, as if she didn't know that she was about to change her master.
"Yuru!" Shui Ruolan couldn't stand it anymore. It was originally Qin Wanru's job to pick people in the yard today, but Qin Yuru stepped in and picked out all the good ones first. It was too much to actually want to come back to Qin Wanru to replace him.
"Yes, Aunt Shui, I was wrong!" Qin Yuru immediately woke up, lowered her head hurriedly, and then looked at Qin Yuru with a face of humility: "Second sister, it's not the eldest sister. When I saw this girl, I suddenly felt that she looked like A man was in a daze for a moment, which made the second sister laugh."
Qin Wanru's eyes followed Qin Yuru's, and also fell on this girl, a very ordinary looking girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old. At this time, she was standing beside Aunt Yu. He lowered his head slightly, but he could still see her beautiful outline. She looked familiar, indeed very familiar.
Something suddenly flashed through her mind. She pressed her hand on the side rails of the chair. If it weren't for her strong self-control, Qin Wanru would have almost jumped up. She knew this girl.
In the last life, this girl was Qin Yuru's side, and she was one of the few girls around Qin Yuru who was kind to Qin Wanru.
I once secretly conveyed some news to myself to avoid Qin Yuru's limelight, but these were all things in the previous life.
Very good, Qin Yuru's people were brought to him in such a grand manner.
A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, she wanted this person!
"Who did Big Sister remember? Why didn't I recognize it?" Qin Yuru smiled slightly, relaxed her hands, and looked at the girl.
"An old friend, the second sister may not know her." Qin Yuru smiled and said, with a bit of darkness in her expression. She was here to disrupt the situation today. Her purpose was not the maid in front of her, but when she saw the maid in front of her, When she saw it, her heart suddenly started beating wildly. This face looked familiar to her, and it was true.
But for a moment, she couldn't remember where she had seen this face. She felt a little uneasy, so she wanted to keep him by her side. This so-called old friend was of course an excuse!
"Now that elder sister has chosen someone, let's go back and have a good rest first!" Qin Wanru smiled calmly and refused with cold eyes.
The words were polite, but the meaning behind them was already very rude. However, what Qin Yuru did today was not honest. It was clearly Qin Wanru who wanted to pick people, so she picked a few good ones first. I also know when it’s time to stop when I’m done.
Anyway, I can’t remember who this girl is for a while, so it shouldn’t be anything important. Let’s talk to my mother when I get back and talk about other things! Anyway, that’s not her purpose here today!
He laughed and said, "Aunt Shui, I'll go back first. If Aunt Shui is free, come over and talk."
Shui Ruolan nodded.
Qin Yuru smiled warmly at Qin Wanru again, and walked out with the four newly picked maids. After walking a few steps, she suddenly looked back at Liu Xue, and said in a low voice as if she had just discovered it: " This girl looks really good!”
It seemed that Qin Yuru liked Liu Xue very much, but now that Qin Wanru had taken a fancy to her, she couldn't grab her openly and could only turn around and leave helplessly.
After turning around, Qin Yuru's face showed a bit of pride!
The mother's intention was to send this girl to Qin Wanru's hands, pick out all the good ones, and show that she valued this one, but because Qin Wanru liked it first, she was embarrassed to pick it out.
With these conditions, Qin Wanru will definitely take people into her yard!
These words were neither high nor low. Qin Wanru listened attentively...
