Chapter 173 A group of decorations

Cen Xiyan looked at the girls introduced by Madam Liu. Sure enough, as she said, they all looked very smart, and they were all between twelve and fourteen years old. They were neither too big nor too young, and they were good at their jobs.

They all look good, but although they look smart, they are not enchanting, and they will not steal the spotlight from the master. Moreover, if they stay with you for a year or two, they are just right to be dowry maids.

Ha! Cen Xiyan glanced at Feng's mother and couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Such a lovely girl seemed to have been carefully selected and specially prepared for her...

"We have Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Liu." Cen Xiyan said lightly and no longer looked at these two women.

More than forty people stood in half of the yard, forming three rows. The two rows in front were all girls, and the row behind were all strong women in their forties. Cen Xiyan calmly walked around the three rows of people.

After walking around, I casually ordered six girls and two women.

"Okay, let's just have a few of them." She really took the order casually, but when ordering people, she bypassed a few people specially introduced by Mrs. Liu, and also bypassed a few people who seemed to be particularly loyal and honest, and chose all the people.

Among these people, he seems to be the most ordinary and has no special characteristics.

The people serving Miss Cen's family include a wet nurse for the legitimate daughter, two eldest maids, three second-class maids, four third-class maids, and four servant mothers. The concubine has one second-class maid less than the legitimate daughter.

There was no nanny in Cenxiyan, and the eldest girls were Jingshuang and Yingxue. Originally, there were two nuns in Jinglan Pavilion, so she only chose six maids and two nannies, which was regarded as the number of servants in Jinglan Pavilion.

All occupied.

The speed of her selection was so fast that Mother Feng and Madam Liu were stunned for a moment without being able to react.

"Mother Feng, Madam Liu, I have already chosen the people, these are the only ones I will keep." Cen Xiyan repeated it again.

Mother Feng and Lady Liu finally came to their senses.

Mother Feng looked at the girls and women Cen Xiyan had chosen, her brows furrowed invisibly, and a glimmer of light flashed through her eyes.

She heard that the sixth lady who had just returned home was a bit smart. Mrs. Zhao seemed to have suffered a secret loss at her hands today, so she was not surprised that Cen Xiyan did not choose those girls introduced by Mrs. Liu. However,

She actually eliminated the candidates who seemed to be the most honest and kind! Is this sixth lady really so smart and cautious, or has she heard some rumors?

Mother Feng murmured in her heart, and Madam Liu's expression was a little unnatural. She had a slightly stiff smile on her face and made a last-ditch effort, "Miss Sixth, won't you choose carefully? The people who are waiting around you are here."

, it must be satisfying and you must choose carefully..."

"No need to choose, just these few, I think they are agreeable." Cen Xiyan looked at Mrs. Liu and said. His voice was calm, but his tone was unquestionable.

When Cen Xiyan really looked at someone, her eyes were extremely penetrating. Madam Liu was so frightened by her eyes that she couldn't finish her words.

"Mother Feng, is it okay if I choose these people?" Cen Xiyan looked at Mother Feng again and asked.

Mother Feng didn't dare to say "there is a problem", she quickly smiled and said: "No problem, no problem, Miss Six thinks these people are good, then they must be good!"

"That's good." Cen Xiyan nodded, "As for the other people, Madam Liu, please take them back. I also need to trouble Mother Feng to take Madam Liu to the accountant to pay the money."

Of course, Cen Xiyan has enough money to buy a few servants. However, she is now the sixth young lady of the Cen family. Naturally, a noble girl has no reason to spend money to buy people by herself. The Cen family cannot afford to lose that person, so

, Cen Xiyan would not be that kind of confused.

"Okay, then I will take Madam Liu to get the money." Feng's mother said this, paused, and then said: "Please also ask Miss Six to name and rank these girls as soon as possible.

I'll go back to Mrs. Zhao and sign the deeds and books for these servants."

"I know that a little later, I will ask someone to send the name of the person to Mrs. Zhao." Cen Xiyan said.

Mother Feng and Madam Liu left with the remaining people. Cen Xiyan sat at the main seat in the front hall on the first floor and interrogated the newly bought girls one by one, their age, place of origin, and who else was in the family.

After waiting for some information, I chose a fourteen-year-old girl and a fifteen-year-old girl to be the second-class maids. They were the oldest of the six girls, and the other four girls were only twelve and thirteen years old.

, these little girls all became third-class maids.

As for the names, it was also easy. I followed Jingshuang's suggestion and took the names of the medicinal materials. The two second-class maids were named Chuanbei and Chuanwu, and the four third-class maids were named: Bletilla, Angelica dahurica, Ginkgo, and White Peony.

As for the two mothers-in-law, there is no need to receive names, they can just be called by their last names.

After the names were chosen, Cen Xiyan glanced around at the few new servants and said calmly: "In my yard, there are not many jobs, and there are not so many rules. You just need to abide by the rules of Cen Mansion. Only

One thing you need to remember is that without my call, don’t enter the small building where I live. If you violate this, don’t stay in this courtyard. No exception will be made! Do you remember?”

"Yes, miss, we have remembered it!" Several girls and women said in unison.

Cen Xiyan pointed to Jingshuang and Yingxue, and said to those people: "These are Jingshuang and Yingxue, the maids beside me. From now on, you will be under their charge. If there is any work, they will assign it to you."

"Yes, this slave knows." Several people replied in unison.

Cen Xiyan nodded, and then said to Yingxue: "Yingxue, take them to the wing, arrange a place for them, and share the work in the yard with them."

"Okay, miss!" Yingxue agreed happily. Hey, she loved to mind other people's business! "You all come with me." Yingxue led the eight people out with brisk steps.

Cen Xiyan said to Jingshuang on the side: "Jingshuang, go and write a list of the new names of these servants and send it to Zhao." Jingshuang has a calm temperament, so when going to Zhao's yard, he still sends Jingshuang.

More stable.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Jingshuang agreed and turned around to write the booklet.

Cen Xiyan rubbed his forehead and sighed inwardly, she was only one person, how could she need so many people to serve her! But even if they were not needed, these people must stay, even if they were just for decoration!

Jinglan Pavilion is her private space in the Cen Mansion. Now that she has a bunch of strangers living there, she feels really bad. Sure enough, she is not a noblewoman from this ancient family, and it is annoying to have to wait for so many people.
