When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she looked at the girl named Hongya, and after listening to Mrs. Pan's words, Huo Ran raised her head and looked stunned, where is there anything you don't understand?

I'm afraid that this girl named Hongya has moved her mind.

At that moment, she snorted coldly, and turned her head to look at the other girls.

Hongya's face showed a hint of anxiety, but she was glared at by Mrs. Pan, and hurriedly lowered her head.

Here, at Wang Yongzhu's suggestion, Lixia stepped forward and motioned for everyone present to stretch out their hands and carefully see if everyone's fingernails were trimmed and whether there was any mud in the nails.

And let everyone take a step forward, take two steps, and turn around.

These are all things that Lixia has seen and experienced in the Guogong Mansion, she is not a child of the Guogong Mansion, but bought it from outside.

Before she entered the house, she was trained for half a year at Yapo's house, and her fingernails and hair must be extremely clean, and there should be no lice.

You have to speak softly, your steps must be light, and you have to be assessed several times before you are eligible to be sent to the Guogong Mansion for another round of selection.

Regardless of whether there are lice on the body, the hair must be cut short first, and then wrapped in the medicine that kills lice, and covered with a hot cloth for a day and a night, before being thrown into a wooden basin together, and then the rough mother-in-law supervised them to wash themselves clean with hot water, and they were eager to shed a layer of skin.

You can't ask for any of your clothes and wraps before you enter the house, and you have to throw them all into the fire and burn them.

After entering the Guogong Mansion, he had to train for half a year before he could be qualified to be an errand boy.

Start with the little girl who runs errands and cleans at the bottom.

Some of the doorways in this have been experienced by Lixia, so he is naturally clear.

She also knew that although she and Wang Yongzhu were loyal to the Guogong Mansion, they were not really trusted by Mrs. Shizi now.

Lixia also knows that he is halfway, and he is a person from the Guogong Mansion, as long as he has no two hearts, is honest, and only serves his wife loyally, after all, his wife will not treat him badly.

Therefore, when she heard Wang Yongzhu say that she would hand over the task of selecting girls to herself, she knew that the opportunity had come.

At the moment, he used everything he saw in the Guogong Mansion at the beginning.

Acting like this, others don't say it, Pan Pozi saw it in her eyes, and her eyes suddenly changed.

She has also seen some of the world, not to mention the local women who need to be called by the local heads, even the people selected by the successive county magistrates' mansions were also sent by her.

The wives of the previous county lords' families, who are also said to be scholars, or ladies from the Gaomen family, said that the rules were extremely strict.

When choosing people, there are no such doorways and exquisiteness?

She once heard the Ya Po who brought her into this industry say that in the provincial capital and the capital, those wealthy families only have one set of rules for selecting people from outside, which is extremely harsh.

Not only do you have to look at your hair, teeth, skin, and even your fingernails.

She just thought that the man was exaggerating and telling jokes, but now it seems that there is really such a thing?

At the moment, it is more respectful to behave in a more respectful manner.

Lixia looked around, had a slight idea in his heart, and asked everyone one by one what they would do.

When it was the turn of the red girl, a touch of contempt flashed in Lixia's eyes, such a girl with different thoughts, in the Guogong Mansion, which year did she not see ten or eight?

If I was lucky, I met the master in front of him, and when I got into my eyes, I gave it to the person below.

If they were unlucky, before they reached their master, they were treated half-dead by a few aunts and people who were jealous of them, and when they reached their age, they were thrown out to be a horseman and a little girl, and after three or two years of hard work, they were so haggard that they were not in the shape of Chéng Rén.

So he just took it and passed the red girl and asked a little girl beside her.

A trace of resentment flashed in Hongya's eyes, and when Lixia asked all the people, she pointed out a few people and asked them to take two steps forward to stand still, and then walked in front of Wang Yongzhu to report: "Madam, these people look honest and responsible, but they can stay." ”

Wang Yongzhu was about to nod.

The red girl was in a hurry, and she didn't know where she got the courage, so she only pounced in front of Wang Yongzhu, "Madam, madam, you can do well, leave me!" I can do anything! I can work, I don't eat much! I don't want monthly money, as long as I can stay and give me food! ”

While kowtowing desperately.

Pan Pozi's face changed color in fright, and while flying over, trying to pull the red girl up, she desperately twisted the flesh on the red girl's waist in a place where no one could see, and threatened in a low voice: "You are going to die!" Dare to do this in front of Madame? Don't hurry up and make amends to Madame! Go back with the old lady immediately - see how the old lady cleans you up! ”

The red girl became more and more open-minded, crying out in pain and begging: "Madam, help me!" If you don't leave me, I'll go back with Yapo, I'm afraid I'll lose my life! Madam, you are a bodhisattva in heaven who saves the suffering, so be merciful and leave me! In the future, I will make cattle and horses for my wife and repay my wife's kindness for the rest of my life! ”

Over there, Mrs. Pan listened to Hongya's words more and more differently, almost distracted, and couldn't care about anything else, while trying to cover Hongya's mouth, she dragged her.

When I was in a hurry, I heard a voice: "What's the matter?" ”

Song Chongjin again?

Hasn't he gone out early and returned late every day these days? Why are you back in the second half of the day today?

Wang Yongzhu stepped forward to greet him suspiciously: "Why did you come back so early today?" ”

The rest of the people, except for Mrs. Zhang, were busy coming forward to bow and bow.

Song Chongjin seemed to be in a good mood, and when he saw Wang Yongzhu, his face couldn't help but soften, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly: "Everything is going well at the racecourse today, I'm—"

Before the words were finished, it was too late to say it, because Mrs. Pan knelt down and pressed the hand of the red girl and let go.

The red girl struggled and threw herself in front of Song Chongjin, and shouted mournfully: "My lord, my lord, help me-"

As he spoke, he raised his head, revealing his forehead that was bruised and bleeding from kowtowing, which was extremely pitiful.

As soon as he said this sentence, his eyes rolled and he passed out.

The courtyard was suddenly quiet and terrible, and all the people did not dare to come out, and they all lowered their heads.

After a while, I heard Song Chongjin ask: "Where did this ugly monster come from?" Did you touch the porcelain in front of the official? ”

Wang Yongzhu......

The people present......

Seeing that no one answered, Song Chongjin raised his voice: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Wang Yongzhu glanced at him and shook off Song Chongjin's hand: "What can it be?" You don't have a point in mind? ”

Song Chongjin hurriedly took two steps forward, grabbed Wang Yongzhu's hand, glanced at the audience, and landed on Lixia: "You say-"

Lixia gritted her teeth, stepped forward hard, and told the ins and outs, of course, when she said it out of her mouth, Hongya had bad intentions and ulterior motives.

After hearing this, Song Chongjin immediately sneered, and said casually: "You can't do such a trivial matter, either you come to assassinate or touch porcelain!" How do you do things? Scared the lady and the old lady, get out of here and get the board! ”

For a while, Yao Da and Gu Yu all knelt down together.

Song Chongjin snorted coldly and pointed at the fainting red girl and said: "Since this tooth woman said that this girl can clean the house and pour the night pot, it just so happens that there is a lack of a rough girl on the horse farm, so let her send it there." You don't have to do anything else, just clean the house and pour the night pot for those grooms! ”

Yao Da listened, held back his laughter, and said happily: "Yes!" My lord. The small ones will do it, and when the deed is bought, they will be sent to the horse farm! ”

Mrs. Pan was stupid and didn't react for a while.

But the red girl who had fainted, when she heard this, she didn't take a breath, and she really fainted.

Song Chongjin came back, and Wang Yongzhu helped Mrs. Zhang into the house left and right, and the rest of the things were naturally finished.

Mrs. Pan followed Yao Da in a daze, and took the people who were not picked to the front yard.

paid the money with one hand, handed over the deed with the other, and then took the person back with a deep foot and a shallow foot.

As for the few girls who were picked by Lixia, they didn't dare to come out, so they were taken to the group room, and after a while, hot water was delivered, as well as medicine to kill fleas and lice, and they were used together.

He also let Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Ding star, take a bristle brush, and brush their fingernails clean, so that they can change into clean clothes.

These girls didn't dare to resist, so they did it honestly, changed into a new thick cotton jacket, and ate a hot meal, with meat and steamed buns, just feeling like they were in a dream.

However, Song Chongjin helped Mrs. Zhang into the house, and without waiting for Wang Yongzhu to speak, he said first: "It can't go on like this, Ming'er has to ask Yao Da to find a little Zhuangzi." ”

Mrs. Zhang and Wang Yongzhu looked at Song Chongjin puzzled.

Song Chongjin explained: "I said that everything went smoothly in the racecourse today, and there were people knocking on the side to let me come back, and my feelings were waiting for me!" ”

"And look, these people are all they do! If you can't make this one today, you can't guarantee that someone will pounce on it in the future! Keeping that word is pretty much the same! What do you want to make me a cow, a horse, a slave, and a maid for a lifetime! I'm going to do it for them! ”

"Aren't you going to be a cow or a horse? Buy a Zhuangzi, pounce on one, and send one to be a Zhuangzi, and let them be cows and horses to reclaim the fields! It also saves us money to buy livestock! ”

"If there are too many, when the military rations are transferred next year, these people will be sent to the back to pull the grain!"
