Chapter 898: Entering

Cao Mansion, Wutong Garden, East Chamber.

Tian was sitting by the kang, Niu Niu and Tianhui were sitting on the stool next to her, and all three looked at Chu Yu.

"Sister-in-law Tian, ​​the two brothers are getting older. A few days ago, the master told the matter of calling the children to branch the hospital. There must be someone waiting around here. While the person is entering today, my sister-in-law will also choose a few little girls and train them for a few years. It will be just right in the future." Chu Yu said with a smile.

When Tian heard this, he hurriedly said, "What the wife said is."

Although there is no shortage of people serving her in the yard, Zuo Cheng lives and Zuo Cheng has maids and old mothers serving her, except for Xiao Walnut and daughter, they all have children from the Cao family.

After all, they are not from the Cao family. When the children grow up, they always have to set up a new branch. At that time, it is difficult for the Cao family to have children, so they naturally have to train some people first.

The property left by the Ning family was reviewed several times a few years ago, and now Cao Yong has placed it in the name of Zuo Zhui and Zuo Cheng.

Because they were still young and had a few years before they had married and had children, Cao Yong was not in a hurry to buy a property for them. However, Cao Yong had already prepared the money for their brothers to buy a house.

As his adopted father, he always has to do something for his two children.

Tianhui and Niu Niu were a little curious, and Niu Niu asked, "Sister-in-law, how old is the little girl? Is it as big as Niu Niu?"

Chu Yu smiled and replied, "This time I mainly joined the little girl, they are all the same as you."

Niu Niu's eyes lit up after hearing this.

She was kept by Sister Lianqiu, and there were maids from Rongyuan. The staff in Rongyuan were all counted, including six maids, two second-class, four third-class, and the youngest ones were a few years older than Niu Niu.

Seeing this, Chu Yu couldn't help but regret that he was too late to enter.

Because Rongyuan is considered a guesthouse and has different status in the mansion, Chu Yu is not good at interfering in the internal affairs there. Lianqiu and Xiqiu sisters have limited knowledge and hold all the money in their hands and praise Niu Niu for her dowry, but they can't imagine how to train the little maid.

Niu Niu will always get married. Could she let her get married alone?

"Look at it carefully, pick eight out in a while." Chu Yu said to Niu Niu.

"Are you giving me all eight? More people than my mother and aunt?" Niu Niu was a little puzzled and looked at Chu Yu and said.

Not only Niu Niu was surprised, but even Tian was surprised when he heard the "eight".

Then I thought that Niu Niu was eleven years old this year, and in three or four years he would be the age of getting married. I also understood Chu Yu’s intention.

Before the Cao family's aunts left the house, they were all four big maids and four little maids around them.

Although Niu Niu's identity is not as good as them, she can choose more people, but spend more money, go in, add more, and then slowly look at her character.

"You pick eight first, train them for half a month, then pick two to send them to your mother and aunt, then pick two to send them to the old lady and me, and leave four to yourself. Is it good to be Niu Niu who helps me train people with us?" Chu Yu thought for a moment and replied.

That said, it is because the houses in Rongyuan are limited, and the eight little girls are too crowded and there are not so many errands. In addition, Niu Niu is still a child, and I don’t know if she can handle a good person.

In this way, if the few around Niu Niu are not right, they will give her the four around her before Niu Niu leaves the house, and there is no need to pick people temporarily.

She knew that in her husband's heart, she treated Mr. Zhuang like her father and Nuoniu, the young junior sister, like her own sister, so she was willing to plan for her.

Niu Niu has no legitimate father and mother, no relatives in the capital, and two half-sisters, who can't count on living far away, and it's also a pity for life.

"Okay, okay, sister-in-law, that's it. Niu Niu designated to teach them how to understand the rules and serve people well." Niu Niu smiled.

Everyone was talking lively, and Tianhui was watching, showing a little curiosity.

Seeing this, Tian was a little strange. She thought that since Chu Yu brought Niu Niu and Tianhui with her, then there was also a matter of Tianhui to choose someone.

Unexpectedly, I only told her and Niu Niu that nothing happened to Tianhui.

After thinking about it, Tianhui was only eight years old after all, and she was not very sensible. How could she manage people?

But she didn't know that Chu Yu was also planning to ask her daughter to choose people, but not to choose outsiders, but to have children at home.

When the eldest and second aunts of the Cao family were married, the dowry were maids who were serving as young servants and gave birth to children. Even if there were concubines, they would not dare to make a fuss. For example, Cao Jia's four personal maids became the housekeeper's wife and the arms of the head of the housekeeper.

The only one is the third aunt of the Cao family. When they went north, the eldest maids around them pointed at people, and there were only a few little maids. Later, they bought four dowries from outside, causing a lot of trouble, which made people worry-free.

As a lesson from the past, how could Chu Yu arrange a little maid outside for his daughter?

Today, the main thing is to prepare for the boys and Niu Niu in the mansion.

At this moment, Le Chun came in and reported, "Madam, Cao Fang's family is here with people..."

The eight maids who Chu Yu married in his early years were successively married. Now the maids in Wutongyuan are ranked by the word "le", spring, summer, autumn, winter, green, red, blue, and purple.

Le Chun, Le Xia was the first of all maids. Le Xia brought Le Qing and went to Rehe Villa in April. Le Chun replaced Xiyun and Xicai's position in his early years and became Chu Yu's left and right hand.

Chu Yu nodded and said, "Call her to bring people in."

When I was a little younger, I saw Cao Fang's family coming in. Later, I followed two rows of girls, both of whom were pleasing to my younger brothers and sisters. They were wearing clean blue gowns and braids. The younger ones were seven or eight years old, and the older ones were twelve or three.

After entering the house, these little girls stood in two rows in a proper manner, with their eyebrows down and their eyes looked very well-behaved.

Seeing this, Chu Yu nodded secretly in his heart.

It seems that human teeth have taught the rules and have been cleaned up easily.

People who do business in this kind of house know that wealthy families attach the most importance to rules and love cleanliness.

"Madam, Ma Ma knew that the wife was going to come in, so she brought forty little girls over. There were twenty people here, and twenty more were waiting in the yard." Cao Fang's bowed.

Chu Yu nodded, and then Tian chose first. How could Tian choose the boss? He refused. Niu Niu was also crystal-hearted and said that he wanted to choose the last one.

Seeing this, Chu Yu had to raise his head and signal Lechun to come forward.

"Who has done good needlework? Take a step forward." Le Chun had already received Chu Yu's explanation and asked.

This poor girl has been a girl from a young age. Half of Le Chun’s little girls took a step forward when she asked Le Chun.

Le Chun stepped forward and asked them to reach out. When they saw thin calluses on their index finger, they nodded; if there were none, or if there were thick calluses, they asked them to retreat.

The remaining six people, Chu Yu nodded to Le Chun, and Le Chun called them out of the line and stood aside.

Then Le Chun asked who could cook, who could read, who had taken care of the children at home, and he picked out six more people.

Twelve people, I have chosen enough of them.

Chu Yu said to Le Chun: "Take it to Mama Liu to learn needlework."

Le Chun leaned over and led the twelve little girls down. Chu Yu asked the Cao Yuan family to bring all the little girls outside in and ask the Tian family to pick people.

Tian thought that she was different from the Cao family and could not be as rich as this. The Cao family chose maids and could not choose a good color.

She looked at those who could be called immediately by twelve or three years old. She also learned to Chu Yu and asked who knows needlework and thread, who knows cooking skills, and picks out four of them, looking strong and capable.

When Cao Fang's family was beside him, he saw his wife and Grandma Tian picking people so much, so he couldn't help but raise his arms and rub his eyes.

Is it because I am blurred and can’t tell the difference between beauty and ugliness?

Why are the little girls she had just looked at just now, all of them were left?

Although Chu Yu asked Tian to pick a few more, Tian only chose four.

She thought that when she really moved out, she would be enough to sell two servants and a few little girls. After all, it would be hard for them to change into their own people in Cao's mansion.

In addition, she felt sorry for the monthly money. After all, this girl bought it from her mother and son, so it was hard to ask the Cao Mansion to make a monthly payment.

Seeing that she insisted, Chu Yu stopped persuading each other and looked at Niu Niu with a smile.

There were twenty-eight little girls left, standing in three rows.

Niu Niu got up, pulled Tianhui and two girls, and the two little girls bit their ears several times.

Then, the two of them walked forward hand in hand, started from the first little girl in the first row, and asked one by one.

"What do you love to do?"

“What do you like to eat?”

When these little girls answered tremblingly, Tianhui picked up her glasses, raised her head, and looked at her with great pleasure.

Chu Yu and Tian looked at each other, and they didn't laugh out loud.

The little girl's answers are all kinds of things, from the girl's red needlework, to the mountain to collecting herbs, to fishing and shrimping, everything that children know is almost the same.

When a little girl said she liked to eat "rock sugar bird's nest", Chu Yu took a few more glances.

This thing is not something that ordinary people can eat. Looking at this little girl, she is indeed a little pretty. She is very quiet at such a young age.

Niu Niu took Tianhui twice and ordered a few people out. These were big and small, beautiful, and ordinary.

Chu Yu looked at it and was a little confused, wondering why Niu Niu picked them.

There were two left, and Niu Niu looked at these people again from the beginning, picked two more, and gathered eight with the previous one.

The little girl who loves to eat "rock sugar bird's nest" is no longer among them.

The Cao Fang family took the remaining little girls down, and she had to go to the front yard to hand over the body contracts of the twenty-four little girls to Ma Ma.

Chu Yu also asked Niu Niu to send the eight people to Rongyuan first, and then asked Niu Niu and Tianhui, saying, "It's eating and playing again. Do you two aunts and nephews specifically choose that naughty girl so that you can play with you?"

Tianhui just laughed, and Niu Niu pouted, "My sister-in-law is wronged. Asking for what she likes to do is learned from her sister-in-law. Half of them have to be filial to all elders, and they can't pick some lazy girls out. Asking for what she likes to eat is because she heard from her mother and aunt that the food in our mansion is good and never treats the servants harshly. When the servants eat well, they are grateful for the kindness of the master's family. After they enter the mansion, they are maids; before entering the mansion, they have all their identities. If they think that the maid's food is not as good as before, they will not think about our family's good."

Chu Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he had such experiences at such a young age.

This is more like a girl from the Cao family than the fourth sister and Wuer in the East Mansion.

"Then why did Tianhui look at each other?" Tian asked in confusion.

In a word, everyone looked at Tianhui.
