With a decent smile, Bai Yunxi sat in an armchair on the porch, looked at the people standing in the yard, then turned to look at the two wives, "Go ahead and choose. If you like it, just keep it."
They have a large family, so prepare them early. When the family members arrive, some people will use them.
Zhang Yishan smiled gently at Mrs. Du, "Sister-in-law, let's go together."
"Hey~,"
Du Shi smiled gratefully. She knew that the fifth younger brother and sister were good and knew how to take care of her.
The two of them walked around the crowd, picked out four girls aged thirteen or fourteen, and returned.
Bai Yunxi looked at the people they had picked, but didn't say anything. She looked at the people standing again. They said eyes are the windows to the soul. When it comes to looking at people, she felt she was pretty good.
When Yalang saw this posture, he immediately waved his hand at the person with a wink,
"Listen up, four of you, stand forward in a row and let Bai Yiren take care of you. Whether you can be selected depends on your own luck."
As soon as these words came out, the people automatically changed their arrangement. They formed a group of four and stood in a regular manner with their heads slightly lowered. No one dared to speak randomly.
Bai Yunxi looked at them and admired in his heart. The management rules of the dental shop were really good and there was no noise.
"I dare not lie to the master. My granddaughter and I were sold out by the previous master's family. As servants, now that we have been sold, the grudges against the former master's family have been wiped out. It would be a big mistake to mention the situation of the previous master's family again.
Taboo. But this old slave can swear to God that our grandparents and grandson have never behaved disrespectfully towards the former master’s family. Please master, please be aware of this."
Bai Yunxi saw her daughter-in-law agree and turned to look at the mother-in-law she had just chosen.
"Come forward."
That kind of momentum from the inside out is no less than that of my mother.
Next, these people greeted Bai Yunxi in groups, and then raised their heads to let Bai Yunxi look at them. Their eyes were indifferent and resigned. They had long been accustomed to being picked as if they were goods.
I didn't expect that my usually amiable mother-in-law would have such a sharp side. Today she was really smart.
If a servant is successful, the master will generally be reluctant to let him go, unless the master encounters some force majeure and has no choice but to sell the slave. Of course, there are also servants who made mistakes and angered the master and were sold.
In this regard, Baiyunxi could do nothing but lament that the feudal dynasty had distinct classes and the lives of those at the bottom were worthless.
If it weren't for the fear that she would be unable to control the situation due to her young age, there would be no need for her to take action herself.
Seeing that her mother-in-law had made her choice, Zhang Yishan immediately ordered Mother Zhang to take Ya Lang to settle the bill and bring back the deeds of sale of these people.
Baiyunxi raised his eyebrows as he listened.
"Grandparents and grandsons? Do we choose your granddaughter today?"
Looking at the grandfather and grandson, Bai Yunxi waved his hand,
"Get up, and after you have learned the rules from Mother Zhang, come directly to me."
"The old slave greets his master and thanks him for taking him in."
Listening to her daughter-in-law's thoughts, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips,
"What's wrong? Are you scared by your mother?"
Seeing her mother-in-law's teasing eyes, Zhang Yishan came back to her senses and smiled, "Ginkgo, take the person down quickly and place her there."
Without waiting for the mother-in-law to answer, a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old came out of the crowd and knelt down with the mother-in-law.
"My slave, please pay your respects to your master."
After listening to her mother-in-law's suggestion, Zhang Yishan did not refuse and nodded directly in agreement. Currently, in the entire mansion, only Mother Zhang is good at etiquette and rules. She is also the mother who was specially trained by her mother to be in charge.
She was shocked by her mother-in-law's eyes just now.
The chosen one stood aside, and before the host could speak, Yalang immediately stepped forward with a wink and waved to the remaining people. The unsuccessful person then retreated to a corner and stood still, also silent.
"I see that you have good manners and manners, and you are not young at all. Why did you end up in the dental industry?"
"Take the people to the side hospital and let them boil water to clean themselves, and then ask the doctor to come and check their pulse." These people stay in the dental clinic all day long, so they should make early plans in case they contract an illness or have any hidden illness.
After reading from beginning to end, Baiyunxi picked out ten more people, five men and five women, one of whom was a woman in her forties.
"Thank you for your love, Master. I will definitely do my best."
Sure enough, some things cannot be avoided.
As Bai Yunxi spoke, he glanced lightly at the people standing next to him. There was an undeniable fierceness in his eyes, which made the new servants unconsciously straighten their bodies and feel worried.
After finishing the training, Bai Yunxi turned around and saw his two daughters-in-law looking at him blankly, especially Zhang Yishan, with some confusion in their eyes.
Thinking of his usual appearance, Bai Yunxi slightly curved the corners of his lips.
Hearing Bai Yunxi's question, the old lady tightened her skin, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to her, and showed a wry smile on her lips.
Listening to his daughter-in-law's inquiry, Bai Yunxi waved his hand,
"You kid, didn't Mom leave the housekeeper's affairs to you? Why are you still asking me? Since you asked, I'd like to say one more thing. Mother Zhang around you seems to have good rules and etiquette.
Leave these people to her. Let Mama Zhang teach you the rules, and it won't be too late to do things again."
"Of course, if you behave yourself and do your job well, you will be rewarded accordingly. In a word, when working in the Bai family, rewards and punishments are clear."
Bai Yunxi looked at the grandfather and grandson and thought, they really got it together.
"My family is simple and doesn't have so many chores. The only thing I want is for the family to be safe and happy. Since we have a master-servant relationship, I will also say something ugly. Anyone who has an impure mind has exceeded his status and done something he shouldn't have done.
, selling is the lightest punishment."
The grandfather and grandson kneeling below heard Bai Yunxi's words and immediately kowtowed and promised,
"Old slave/servant, I will definitely obey my master's orders and abide by my duty."
When she was the only one left in the yard, Zhang Yishan turned to look at her mother-in-law, "I wonder what mother-in-law is going to do with these people?"
When the old woman saw her master calling her, she was stunned for a moment. She quickly lowered her head and walked forward, bowed and saluted.
Bai Yunxi looked at her words and deeds and listened to her calm tone, and knew that this was no ordinary mother-in-law.
The family has managed to settle down, but some servants cannot cause chaos in the house. Some things still need to be done.
Looking at her mother-in-law's teasing eyes, Zhang Yishan blushed, looked at her sister-in-law who had not yet come to her senses, and chuckled,
"My mother was so majestic just now. My sister-in-law and I were both frightened by you, let alone those people. With my mother in charge, our family will be safe and sound."
Her mother had long told her that for the people below, the intimidation that should be intimidated, the kindness that should be shown, and the art of controlling people are not just as simple as saying scary words with a straight face, they can make people really fearful of talents.
It's a real skill.
Master the art of controlling people, appoint people based on their talents, and be a master with peace of mind, and those who are appointed will also feel grateful.
