Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 195: When the family is a guest, Pei Yan shows up (1)
Hongying was ashamed and annoyed, she knew that Ji Chonglian was joking, but she still couldn't help feeling sour, who wants to bring two beautiful maids with her when she gets married, isn't this just making herself unhappy?

Seeing Hongying's distressed appearance, Ji Chonglian clapped her hands and laughed, turned around and walked towards the emerald pool, leaving a series of cheerful laughter in the corridor.

Ji's family was very lively these days, people coming and going, in order to arrange Ji Chongze's marriage, almost the whole family mobilized.

The heavy curtains for the hanging curtains, the bright red Shu brocade girdles for the tables and chairs, and even new dishes were purchased.

Ji Chonglian is sitting in the main hall where the affairs are being discussed at the moment. This is the place where the wedding ceremony will be held. She specially selected a pair of rich and honored screens from the storeroom with plum blossoms around the branches and double happiness welcoming the door, watching the two maids carefully arranging them. At the desk, he ordered to move slightly to the left, and then nodded in satisfaction.

When she turned around, a mother in charge came to report with a smile: "Fifth girl, Mrs. Huang has brought someone to wait in the garden, and is waiting for the girl to choose someone."

"Okay, mother Xu, come with me to have a look."

Ji Chonglian smiled and nodded to the mother in charge. This mother Xu was originally in charge of laundry and laundry. Before Cui's mother left, she was suppressed and had no power to fight back. Ji Chonglian saw that she was stable and not anxious. That's when she became the mother in charge of the inner courtyard.

Everything, big and small, was gathered by Mother Xu, and when it was handed over to her, it was much easier.

A really good leader is not doing everything personally and exhausting himself half to death, but choosing the right person to put in the right position, knowing people and doing them well, so that he can take care of the overall situation.

"How many people did Huang Pozi bring here this time?"

Ji Chonglian waved the round fan as she walked, and asked casually.

"There are about a dozen little girls who just got their hair cut, and there are about twenty girls left. The old servant saw that they were all cleaned up, so he dared to bring the girl to the girl."

Mother Xu bowed slightly, her attitude was very respectful.

She didn't dare to underestimate the girl in front of her, besides, she was convinced of Ji Chonglian's methods and abilities, so she was willing to obey him.

Back when the eldest wife was in charge of general affairs, Mother Cui relied on the loss of the eldest wife's house to cover the sky with only one hand. She was in charge of the affairs of the kitchen, but because she refused to join hands with Mother Cui, she was relegated to the washing room. She got through it, but it was Ji Chonglian who knew people with her eyes. Mother Xu was naturally grateful for this kindness.

"Come on, let's take a look."

Ji Chonglian turned her head and blinked at Biyuan. This girl also had an excited face, obviously full of enthusiasm for the master's selection of apprentices. As for how these little girls will be polished and trained in Biyuan's hands, it is not within the scope of her concern up.

This is a small garden that has just entered the second gate, and there are five rows of people standing neatly in the small yard.

Standing aside, Mrs. Huang was wearing a dark blue cotton dress, with a round bun meticulously combed, and a plain plum silver hairpin. When she met Ji Chonglian, she put her hands on her hips and saluted, "Hello, fifth girl!"

Ji Chonglian nodded lightly, and glanced at the field, all the girls stood respectfully with their heads bowed, presumably Mrs Huang had taught some rules in advance, but she was still a little dishonest and couldn't help but look around, before meeting her gaze Like a deer frightened, it suddenly drooped down.

Ji Chonglian's gaze sank, those restless and dishonest ones were naturally excluded.

Behind him, Bi Yuan had already cleverly brought a high-ranking chair over, put the apricot-yellow chair back on it, and ordered the little girl to serve tea, and then waited for Ji Chonglian to sit down.

Huang Pozi came forward with a smile, "Knowing the rules of the five girls' selection, the old lady has already made a selection in advance, and then I will ask the girls to have a look."

"Ah."

Ji Chonglian reached out to take the tea from Bi Yuan, took a sip between her lips, and then said: "Let them come forward one by one and report their family name."

"Yes."

Mrs. Huang responded, then turned around and gave orders in front of the group of girls. Amidst her yelling, the eight girls in the first row took a few steps forward and saluted Ji Chonglian in unison.

"Head up!"

Ji Chonglian put down the tea and looked up at these girls, but two of them caught her attention.

A pretty face, but a little pale, about twelve or thirteen years old, good-natured, well-educated, even if she is not a girl from a poor family, she is probably a girl from a big family.

The other one is about ten years old, with an oval face and thick lips, but a pair of eyes are watery, looking at Ji Chonglian blinking, revealing a sense of curiosity and nervousness.

Bi Yuan followed Ji Chonglian's gaze, and immediately nodded to the two girls knowingly.

The pretty woman said softly: "My servant, Caiwei, used to work as a servant in the Qizhi county mansion and served the second lady in the mansion."

"Qi Zhi County?"

Ji Chonglian's face darkened, it was Qi Zhan's mansion.

Bi Yuan glanced at Mrs. Huang, she immediately came forward knowingly, and whispered in Ji Chonglian's ear: "This Caiwei is stubborn, Mr. Qi wants to take her as a concubine, she would rather die than accept her as a concubine." She was beaten all over with wounds and her hair was sold out, and the wound on her back has not healed yet. Hearing the important person of Ji's family, she asked her life and death together. Check it out, girl."

Ji Chonglian nodded, "The name Caiwei conflicts with Miss Six, so let's change it to Caiqiu!"

The maid of the Qi family supposedly repulsed her somewhat, but Caiwei was betrayed because of her resistance to Qi Zhan, so the meaning is quite different.

Looking at it, he is indeed a pitiful person. If he is well-behaved and polite, it is not impossible to train him a little bit.

"Caiqiu thank you for the name!"

Caiqiu was so excited that her cheeks flushed, she saluted Ji Chonglian, and then stood to the other side in the direction of Biyuan's finger.

For a while, some were envious and some were jealous. After all, as the first girl to be picked by Ji Chonglian, everyone still had some expectations.

Another little girl is called Chunhua. It is said that there are too many children in the family and she is willing to sell herself to reduce the burden on the family and leave some money for her younger brothers and sisters.

Chunhua spoke smartly, especially her smile made people feel very warm, and Ji Chonglian also left her behind.

For the rest, Ji Chonglian chose four prudent and prudent ones in Mrs. Ji's room, one named Erya, one named Aniu, and the other two were even more tongue-tied, so Ji Chonglian changed their names and called them Make Zhiping and Zhihua, Zhiyu and Zhiqing.

He also chose girls who looked honest and ordinary for Ji Chongyu. These two girls knew a few words and some rules, so they could be taught slowly. Ji Chonglian renamed them Secretary and Painter. They are also getting older, and sometimes their mental strength is exhausted. The two girls just need to take care of the food and daily life with peace of mind, and don't worry about other things.
