Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 44 Fighting against each other (1)
Da Furen heard a little impatiently, "Okay, don't say any more."

A word stuck in Jin Hua's throat, she looked at the eldest lady in astonishment.

The eldest lady simply stood up and ordered a few servant girls casually.

"You, you, you, you, come out."

The few people who were pointed out stood up one by one, and they all looked ordinary, and they were not too clever.It seems that the eldest lady is preventing the opportunity for the eldest master to take concubines.

Qiu Mingyue shook her head secretly, if a man wants to cheat, he can't be prevented by all means.Unless it captures the man's heart.

"Each of you declare your own name."

"Slaves give spirits."

"Slaves hate softness."

"The slave girl has flowers."

"Slave, Youyun."

The eldest lady raised her eyebrows, "It's a pretty good name."

Several maidservants bowed their heads in respectful gestures, "Madam Xie for your compliments, servant girls are not very honored."

The eldest lady hummed lightly, and was quite satisfied with the few people.

Next, the second and third wives each chose the maids they were satisfied with, and then it was up to the ladies and gentlemen.

According to the rules, the old and young are naturally orderly, and there is a difference between superiority and inferiority.First of all, the big house, Qiu Mingyu is being grounded, so naturally Qiu Minglan started.

She stood up, and slowly glanced at the remaining girls standing.Then he looked at Qiu Mingyue and smiled slightly.

"Seniors are in order, Fifth Sister should choose first."

Qiu Mingyue raised her eyebrows, and the eldest lady's face darkened slightly.

"Minglan..."

Qiu Minglan turned her head and gave the eldest lady a look. The eldest lady was a little bit unwilling, but she still kept silent.

Qiu Mingyue looked at Qiu Minglan lightly, but she saw a smile on the corner of her mouth, looking at her with clear eyes, without any intention of calculating.The corner of her mouth twitched, and she said lightly: "Sixth sister is right, seniors and young are orderly. The Qiu family has a century-old family, and this rule cannot be broken." She turned to look at Aunt Shen beside her, "Auntie, you are an elder. Choose."

Shen was astonished, "Mingyue?"

Qiu Minglan's eyes darkened for a moment, the eldest lady was the most impatient, and immediately reprimanded her.

"What is she?"

Shen's face turned pale, she clenched the handkerchief in her hand, bit her lips and did not speak.Qiu Mingrui's face was filled with anger, but he held back.Qiu Mingyue looked as usual, but her eyes were a little cold.

"On March 21st, at three quarters past three o'clock, here in the vestibule of the Qiu Mansion. My mother gave tea to Aunt Shen, and my grandmother and grandparents promised Shen to be my father's good concubine. At that time, all the uncles and aunts waited to sit down and said to each other. Mother took pity on Mingyue Mingrui and my aunt came to the capital without anyone to take care of them, so I begged my grandmother to recruit a few servants for them to live and travel." Her eyes lightly shifted from the ashen face of the eldest lady, still calm.

"A few days ago, my maidservant and my mother's maidservant were rude in front of the maidservant and were fined to Huanyiyuan. Mother is sympathetic, so today's reason..."

"Since the old matriarch has spoken, Aunt Shen, what are you still doing sitting around? Why don't you pick your maid?" The eldest lady finished the sentence almost gnashing her teeth.Sharper than words, the eldest lady is not as good at talking as Qiu Mingyue.Then he vented his anger on Shen Shi, if it wasn't for the presence of the old matriarch and the second and third wives, she might have slammed the door and left.

Qiu Mingyue curled up a faint smile, but Shen was still a little panicked.Qiu Minglan can no longer be calm, she is a dignified daughter of the first wife, and she has to choose a servant girl after an aunt?Really humiliating her too.

"Auntie, let's go." Qiu Mingyue looked at Aunt Shen with a smile, her eyes full of encouragement.

Shen took a deep breath, stood up, saluted the old lady and the eldest lady, and then spoke unexpectedly.

"Mrs. Xie loves you, let sister Yu choose first."

The eldest lady was startled, and the old matriarch was also startled, and then his eyes softened a bit.Qiu Minglan's eyes were a little dark, and she tightly grasped the silk handkerchief in her hand.The smile on the corner of Qiu Mingyue's mouth widened, she understood what Aunt Shen was thinking.Aunt Yu has been with the old man for a long time, and she was given to the old man by the old lady, so the old lady would like it a little bit.Aunt Shen is now monopolizing the favor, and the Elder Master neglects Fangli in the courtyard.The old lady didn't say anything clearly, I'm afraid she felt uncomfortable.Now Shen's move not only showed her generosity and worry, but also secretly pulled Aunt Yu into the united front.In the future, I will have a helper when I stand up against the eldest lady.On the contrary, it made the eldest lady even more narrow-minded, which did not please the old lady.

While Qiu Mingyue was relieved, she couldn't help feeling sad, where did her mother go through such a thing before?But for the sake of himself and his younger brother, he had to compromise.

Aunt Yu was startled, and glanced at Mrs. Shen.Look at the old lady again.The old matriarch nodded slightly before she came out and picked four more satisfactory maids.

In turn, Qiu Mingyue chose eight servant girls.Two second-class maids, two third-class maids, and four fourth-class maids.They are called Xueqiao, Yarui, Miwen, Lenan, Nanhai, Lingyu, Guxue, and Zuiwen respectively.She herself was fine, but when her younger brother Qiu Mingrui made the selection, she paid special attention to it.Seeing that the few people he selected were more than handsome but not as delicate and more agile and calm women, he was slightly relieved.Fortunately, although my younger brother is young, under his own influence, he is also precocious and sensible.She absolutely couldn't let her younger brother choose some beautiful and beautiful women to be by her side, and young masters from famous families who had a little beauty beside them would be chosen as the housemates.She would never allow Qiu Mingrui to learn about people early on, be fascinated by beauty at a young age, and become a worthless playboy in the future.

Qiu Minglan is indeed smart.I chose two more beautiful ones, two handsome ones, and two more powerful ones.It fits her style.

Before leaving, Qiu Mingzhu walked up to her at the door, glanced at the eight maidservants with different appearances behind her, and smiled.

"My sister is really Lan Xinhui, I admire her very much."

Qiu Mingyue also smiled, and glanced at the four new maids following her. (Except for Qiu Mingyue, mother and son, all the masters in the house already have maids, so there is no need to choose more, so there are fewer others)
"My sister's thoughts are exquisite and clear, and my sister will ask for advice someday."

Qiu Mingzhu frowned, and held her hand kindly.

"My sister is honored to be able to come to Lianyuan. Although my sister is not rich, I still have a cup of thin tea."

Qiu Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, sister, don't find me annoying."

Qiu Mingzhu was about to say something, but she saw Qiu Minglan walking out.His face was calm, and he didn't see the gloomy air in the room just now.

"Fourth Sister, Fifth Sister." She stepped forward with a smile and called softly.A large group of servant girls followed behind to salute.

Qiu Mingyue's gaze was indifferent, while Qiu Mingzhu's eyelashes flickered when she looked back.

"Sister Six is ​​going back?"

Qiu Minglan said: "Third sister copied Buddhist scriptures last night, I'll go and bring her tranquilizing medicine soup."
