Princess, she is playing again

Chapter 28 Bright Moon and Bright Jade
"Miss, these are just sent by Ren Yazi, and have nothing to do with the mansion. What Aunt Bai means is that according to the status of Miss, you can buy two first-class girls, four second-class girls, six Rough girl."

After Xu Butler finished speaking, he stood beside him calmly. He was only responsible for bringing people over, and he didn't care who Xu Zhaoning chose next.

Xu Zhaoning rested his chin on his hand, and looked at Butler Xu carefully, feeling inexplicably that what Butler Xu said was focused on the first sentence.

Although the man was brought by Steward Xu, he was ordered by Aunt Bai, so this is actually Aunt Bai continuing to show her kindness by picking on the girl. To put it bluntly, she just hopes to buy her over with such small things Xu Zhaoning.

interesting!
Although Aunt Bai was a little worried about her, she obviously didn't think highly of her, Xu Zhaoning.

Xu Zhaoning smiled brightly, so that it will be more fun later.So, without any psychological burden, she happily began to choose.

"What's your name?" Xu Zhaoning asked, pointing to one of the girls in blue clothes. Unlike the others, this girl was tall and straight, and she couldn't help but look at her standing like a pine.

"Mingyue," the girl in blue replied calmly, neither humble nor overbearing, with just the right amount of words.

Xu Zhaoning raised his brows slightly, and noticed with sharp eyes that Mingyue's hands vertically on both sides had a thin layer of calluses on the tiger's mouth, which is common to martial arts practitioners.

Since Aunt Bai asked Butler Xu to find someone's teeth, she said that she would not put people in her yard again.And the Mingyue in front of her is obviously a person with a history, if she doesn't have her own story, then it must be someone else's arrangement.

"You stay," said Xu Zhaoning, pointing at Mingyue, in the face of suspicious people.

Mingyue seemed a little surprised that she was picked as soon as she came, but the surprise in her eyes quickly disappeared, and then only said "yes", she stepped forward a few steps neatly, and walked to Xu Zhaoning's side, showing a protective posture.

This conditional action made Xu Zhaoning's guess more intense.But she restrained herself very quickly, and acquiesced to Mingyue's move.

Looking at the girls who were still standing again, Xu Zhaoning said lazily, "What are you guys doing?"

Seeing that Xu Zhaoning acquiesced to Mingyue standing beside her, the girls knew that one of the first-class girls' places had been taken, and each of them wanted to attract Xu Zhaoning's attention to take another first-class girl's place at the first moment.

One of them, a girl in a lake-green dress, expressed herself happily, "The servant girl can comb all kinds of hair buns that are popular in Beijing."

With her beginning, the following ones were not to be outdone, and they all said: "The servant will know the Su embroidery handed down from his ancestors", "The servant will make tea"...

No matter how long the high-pitched voices of the girls rang, Xu Zhaoning's ears were buzzing for a long time.

After finally calming down, Xu Zhaoning raised his head and saw that all the girls who had introduced themselves were staring at her with bright eyes.

And a girl at the end of the crowd lowered her head slightly, and struggled for a long time before she could squeeze out a few words, "The servant girl can cook, and all major cuisines can do it."

It's not like actively competing for favor, but more like selling yourself as a last resort.

Her eyes lit up, and she made a decision immediately: "It's you."

Patriarch Xu, who had a tricky tongue in his previous life, urgently needed someone to save his taste buds, and this girl appeared very timely.

Seeing the dull expression on the girl's face, Xu Zhaoning was in a good mood, and asked, "What's your name?"

"Miss, please give me a name." For the trafficked girl, giving a name by the new master also means acceptance.

"Well, since there is a bright moon, then your name is Mingyu." Xu Zhaoning announced after thinking for a while.

"Mingyu thank you for the name, master." Following Mingyue's example, Mingyu walked up through the crowd and stood on the other side of Xu Zhaoning.

Xu Zhaoning was very satisfied with her move.

"Housekeeper Xu, Mingyue and Mingyu are the first-class girls. As for the rest, you can make arrangements. I like peace and quiet, so the number of waiters should be reduced by half."

"Miss, have you figured it out?" Butler Xu was a little surprised, this young lady of the aristocratic family always pays attention to ostentation when she goes out, and the configurations he mentioned are also based on her status as the concubine of the Houfu.

But the eldest lady directly halved the number of people. Does she really not know the market situation in the capital, or is she trying to hide it?
"Why, but what's wrong?" Xu Zhaoning smiled slightly, and the way he looked at Butler Xu changed beautifully.

Butler Xu met her eyes, and then suddenly looked away, it was really strange, this eldest lady clearly had no superfluous meaning in her eyes, but it just made people feel intimidated, as if she was facing the old waiter himself.

"No, Shaoyuan is the courtyard of the eldest lady, and the eldest lady can do whatever she wants." Steward Xu lowered his head and said, cold sweat oozing from the corners of his forehead.

"I hope Steward Xu will remember this sentence! Shaoyuan is my territory, Xu Zhaoning. No matter who wants to get involved in Shaoyuan, I have a way to deal with him, understand?"

"Old slave understands!" Steward Xu was startled again. He had never experienced such a sense of coercion in front of Master Hou Xu Chengke. This young lady is really different. He had to tell Master Hou immediately.

Randomly appointing two second-class maids and four rough envoys for Xu Zhaoning, Steward Xu left in a hurry, as if someone was chasing him from behind.

"The names of the six of you remain the same, and you are not allowed to enter my yard at will without orders. The specific division of labor is subject to Mingyu's arrangement. I don't have any other requirements here, just stick to your duties.

Of course, if you want to do things under my nose, it is not impossible, as long as you can guarantee not to be caught by me, otherwise I will have a thousand ways to make your life worse than death. "

Seeing those six girls turn pale with fright, Xu Zhaoning chuckled and waved his hands casually, "Retire now, Mingyu, you go arrange them."

"Mingyue, follow me to the accounting room."

Even though he had 10 taels of silver in his pocket, Xu Zhaoning felt that the money in the palace of Zhongyonghou was not paid for nothing.

Leading Mingyue to the accountant graciously, and when he proposed to pay 3000 taels of silver, the accountant's eyes widened and he said tremblingly: "Miss, do you want to confirm with Aunt Bai first? "

"What do you mean by that? Could it be that my majestic and brave Miss Hou doesn't even have the right to pay 3000 taels of silver?"

Xu Zhaoning's face darkened, with displeasure written all over his face.

The accountant had a bitter face, a little at a loss.Withdrawing such a large amount of 3000 taels all at once, let alone Xu Zhaoning, an unfavored lady, even the marquis Xu Chengke would not dare to make such a big deal.

Xu Zhaoning waited a little impatiently, and his voice became colder again: "Obviously Aunt Bai said that I can just come to the accountant directly, but you are pushing back and forth like this now, maybe you don't want to work as an accountant."

"Don't dare, I'll give the young miss the bank note." The cashier was startled by Xu Zhaoning's coldness, and tremblingly handed out 3000 taels of bank note to Xu Zhaoning.

"That's right. After all, you are also Aunt Bai's relative. Now that Aunt Bai is in charge, your happy life is coming. If this offends me, I will accidentally expose the relationship between you and Aunt Bai... "

"Miss, please forgive me..."

The accountant's face turned pale all of a sudden, and all he could think about was how Xu Zhaoning knew about his relationship with Aunt Bai, obviously no one in the mansion knew about it.
