Seeing that the housekeeper in the palace left like this, only a teenage servant was left to guard the door, and the maids and servants in this room didn't know what to do for a while.

Not only them, but the three of them were also confused. Xiao Nuan said in a low voice, "Look at it seriously." ”

Xiaocao listened to her sister's words the most, and immediately stared wide-eyed. Wang Quantong, who came back from the side door, also stood aside and looked out.

After a moment of silence, a woman who was a little older in the middle grade of the ten people asked in a low voice, "Let's ...... What should I do? ”

A round-faced woman came up with the idea first, "Why do you have to plant flowers or trees in the garden of the prince's house?" ”

There is also humanity, "Growing vegetables is not bad, Princess Sheng is from ......"

"Gardening? Comical! A sharp-faced girl in red interrupted her words and said with certainty, "Can the Shengwang Mansion be short of food?" Of course, if you want to plant flowers, you have to plant the most precious flowers in order to bring out the dignity of the prince and princess! ”

Xiao Nuan said in a low voice, "This person interrupts others at will, and his words are quite disrespectful and undesirable." ”

The four immediately nodded.

Anyone can say a few words on the topic of "what to plant on a piece of land". Gradually, everyone chattered.

Xiao Nuan commented while watching, "The one in purple clothes, when he speaks, he points at people with his fingers, such people like to engage in confrontation, and they are prone to tongue, which is not advisable." ”

"The one in blue, every time he says a word, he turns his eyes to the left, his scheming is quite heavy, and it is not advisable."

"The pothos skirt has not spoken, but is looking at the valuable furnishings in the room, and his eyes are greedy and undesirable."

"The one in the red dress, with open eyes, smooth face, and kind speech, needs to be further observed."

Xiao Nuan commented on the advantages and disadvantages of everyone in the main hall one by one, and everyone nodded again and again. After the people in the hall discussed, Wang Quantong also went back.

As soon as he entered the room and sat down, he asked a negotiable question, and the little girl in red with a sharp face rushed to answer, "Lord Housekeeper, let's discuss it, it is best to plant precious flowers and plants in the open space." At this time, chrysanthemums should be planted, and the slave family is planted with chrysanthemums, and any variety can be planted. ”

Wang Quantong didn't say anything, so he asked the little maid to take the group of people outside and put refreshments on the table for them to rest for a while. This process of rest is also under the attention of Xiao Nuan and others.

Then, a second group of people was called in, and Wang Quantong changed the question, still observing the same. It took less than an hour for more than 50 slaves to go through the three links of rhubarb flavoring, Xuantang deliberations, and side tea, and in the end only eleven people were left by Xiao Nuan.

Shuangcheng had no doubts about what was left, but the one she was most optimistic about was brushed off by the princess, "Princess, Shuangcheng has a doubt, isn't it worth talking about?" ”

Xiao Nuan nodded.

"The third batch of literate women who came in white, tall and thin, and white-faced, why didn't they stay? She has good rules, and after screening according to the method that the princess just said, there is nothing to find fault with. ”

Wang Quantong also nodded, "There should be one or two literate servant women in the backyard to take care of it, and the villain also thinks she is good." ”

The woman in white was in the year of Huaxin, and her husband had just died, because she failed to give birth to a son and a half daughter for her husband's family, so she was sold by her mother-in-law to pay off her debts. This person is indeed okay at first glance, but what Xiao Nuan doesn't want to keep is also her, "Auntie, this question is very good." Green Butterfly, you go out and ask her, let her think we want her, learn more about her, we're here to observe her. ”

Several people carefully observed for a while, and Hua Ange said first, "This woman is pale, her breathing is unsteady, and her body is weak and short of breath. ”

Xiao Nuan nodded.

Xiaocao whispered, "She looks awkward. ”

Xiao Nuan's eyes lit up slightly, "What's awkward?" ”

Xiaocao said conclusively, "Because my sister didn't keep her, she must have a problem, so Xiaocao thinks she is awkward!" ”

"Well, that makes sense." Xiao Nuan pursed her lips and smiled, pinching her sister's chubby face.

Shuangcheng said in a low voice, "Please teach the princess." ”

"This girl's family conditions are not bad, the family is backward and low-married, her husband died early, and her mother-in-law is ruthless, so she tastes all the bitterness. It is said that when such a person enters the palace, he should be grateful to Dade for doing things seriously, so as to seek food and clothing for the rest of his life. But you see, this woman is talking, and she has been bowing her head slightly and not looking at the eyes of the green butterfly, which seems to be respectful. But if you look closely, you can see that her face is stiff, her eyes are staring straight at Green Butterfly's shoes, and her sleeves move slightly when she speaks, indicating that the hands hidden in her sleeves are moving. ”

She bowed her head, it can be said that she understands the rules, or she can say that she has something in her heart that she doesn't want people to see. The corners of her mouth twitched and her fists clenched hard, indicating that this person's heart was extremely unsettled, you watch. ”

Xiao Nuan went out of the house to the courtyard and called, "Green butterfly." ”

Green Butterfly immediately turned around, "Green Butterfly is here, please ask the princess to command." ”

Hearing the identity of the person who came, the woman opposite the green butterfly looked up and glanced at Xiao Nuan hurriedly, and then hurriedly lowered her head. At this glance, the people who followed Xiao Nuan could see it clearly.

After the woman was taken down, Xiao Nuan asked, "What did you see?" ”

Xiaocao hurriedly replied, "She has something!" ”

Hua An said, "Xiaocao is right, there is no pain of losing her husband in this woman's eyes, and there is no panic and helplessness, it seems that she has made up her mind to do something." ”

Shuangcheng also nodded, "No matter what big things she decides to do, the mansion can't keep her." ”

Wang Quantong also nodded, it is indeed a trouble for such a person to stay.

Xiao Nuan continued, "We are recruiting people who sweep the door in the house, and their ability is the second, and their conduct is the first." If you have a good character, you can teach it slowly, and you can always teach; Those who have the ability but have a bad character will have more skills in our house, and sooner or later something will happen. ”

Shuangcheng nodded again and again, "What the princess said is very true, and Shuangcheng has benefited a lot. ”

Wang Quantong also admired it, "The next few batches of servants and Aunt Shuangcheng will be selected first according to the princess's method, and then brought to you after the selection, please take a look." ”

Xiao Nuan advised, "It's better to have a shortage than to overuse, and the shortage of manpower is made up by the guards." ”

Xuan San, who had not yet entered the gate of the Xuantang courtyard, heard that the princess was going to use his few guards to watch the courtyard to pull weeds, and complained in a low voice, "Third master, there is really no one under you." ”

The third master said, "In another half a month, I will make up a batch of guards for you." ”

Su Miao was caught, Qianniuwei will reshuffle the cards internally, and there are too many hands and feet to do between the old and the new. Xuan San grinned, "My subordinates want a hundred!" ”

Mu Kai almost fell, "You're not afraid to hold on?" ”

"Xuan has a big appetite, don't say a hundred, you can swallow three hundred!"

The third master didn't reply, "If you think you can ask for it, stay it." ”

Xuan San came up, "Third master, hey...... When his subordinates choose someone, ask the princess to help check it? ”

The third master said coldly, "What is the use of this king keeping you?" ”

Xuansan immediately wilted like a frosted eggplant.

Listening to the whispers in the courtyard, the third master's frozen face gradually warmed, and after Xiao Nuan came, the house also felt at home.

Seeing that the third master was back, Xiao Nuan walked a few steps to catch up, "Why did you come back so early today?" ”

"There's nothing going on in the cabinet." The third master naturally raised his head to help her straighten the golden hairpin. The two looked at each other, and the warmth flowed silently.

Hua Ange subconsciously glanced at Xiaocao, but saw that this little girl was laughing heartlessly.

Xiaocao stepped forward to greet her brother-in-law, "Brother-in-law, the day after tomorrow, Xiaocao wants to go to the fifth village to paint, is it done?" ”

The third master nodded, "I have explained to the people in the village, you can go over and play at any time, and you don't need to report in advance." ”

"Okay-" Xiaocao smiled sweetly, "Sister, brother-in-law, Xiaocao is home." ”

The third master said again, "I brought back two baskets of fresh fruits from the palace, you bring one basket back and give your mother-in-law a taste." ”

Xiao Nuan also said, "Tell my mother that I will go back tomorrow and we will harvest mung beans together." ”

"Okay—" Xiaocao responded sweetly, and shouted with her head up, "Rhubarb—go home—"
