Jade color and fragrance

Chapter 22
Yan Yu had been talking for a day, and was about to go back to rest.

But I saw the second wife hovering at the gate of the Huaxu courtyard.Yan Yu stepped forward to pay respects: "Second sister-in-law, are you here to see me?"

Her second sister-in-law hardly goes out on weekdays and doesn't get involved in anything.

But she remembered that in her last life, she decided to become a concubine in Liuxian County Prince's Mansion, and no one in Duke Yan's Mansion persuaded her.Only the second wife, when she passed by her once, casually said: "Why do you need to be a concubine, a dignified girl from the Duke's mansion?" Maybe it was to avoid suspicion, and before she could reply, the second wife left in a hurry .

Now that I think about it, apart from Nanny Xian and the others, she has only received the second wife's concern for her.

"Sister, I'm here to take a look. You and Jili, have you found your secretary and supporter? Can you see if Yan Xuan is suitable?"

"Naturally suitable, Xuan'er might as well be my admirer, do you think that would be good?"

For the sake of Yan Xuan, the second wife wanted to make a gesture of friendship with her at the Jiji ceremony, so why didn't she help the second wife?

The second madam begged for help for the first time, and it was for her daughter, so she was a little embarrassed and left in a hurry without going to sit in the yard.

Shan Qing came back and replied: Steward Liu personally took her to the Yamen, and found out that the person who filed the imperial complaint was indeed the young master of the Zhou family.However, whether the person who went to Duke Yan's mansion that day was the owner Zhou Shaozhuang himself still needs to be verified.Because the person in charge of the case in the yamen happened to be away on official business, the housekeeper Liu will send someone over after checking it out tomorrow.

Now Yan Yu has three people available by her side, Nanny Xian, Shan Qing and Lan Yue.After all, Aunt Xian was getting old, and she had to go to many places when she went out to buy servants, fearing that she would be too tired, Yan Yu would not let her follow her.

However, Nurse Xian still reminded her thousands of times: "Girl, when you choose someone, you must first look at the person's eyes. Those who steal and play tricks have erratic and insincere eyes, so you must not want them. Besides, you If you buy so many servants at one time, you must not buy them in the same dental shop, lest those people have complicated relationships, and you will not be able to suppress them.”

Yan Yu said with a smile: "Don't worry, Aunt Xian, I will take care of it."

Of the four families Wu Guanshi knew, Yan Yu planned to buy ten people from each family.

Although Yan Yu has no parents to rely on, after all, the Duke's Mansion dare not treat her too harshly, and she can be considered to have grown up in rich clothes.The first time she saw so many poor adults and children selling themselves cheaply, she felt her heart was about to break.

However, her personal ability is limited. Although all these people are looking at her eagerly, she can't buy them all.

In terms of human teeth, it has always been that strong and healthy people are more likely to sell at a good price.Yan Yu needed a nursing home, and found out that there were a few men who were capable, and asked them to raise their heads according to Mammy's instructions, and she looked into their eyes one by one.He also asked Steward Wu to go to the inner courtyard to see if a few people were injured?
In this family, Yan Yu finally chose four healthy nursing homes, four eleven or twelve-year-old girls, and two elderly but healthy nuns.

The second family's teeth are not ideal, the people inside are old, weak, and sick, and few of them look suitable.

Yan Yu was about to leave here, but saw a young man kneel down with a plop.The young man straightened his back, but said anxiously: "Girl, please buy me and my brother. My brother fell ill a few days ago and has not been diagnosed and treated. He is about to die. Please do me a favor." , bought the two of us. In the future, I will be your cow and horse. Please!"

Shan Qing went to see it, and reported back: The young brother's elder brother is seriously ill, if he continues like this, his life may be in danger.

Yan Yu agreed to buy the two brothers, but the woman laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, and said: "Girl, you are really a Bodhisattva alive. In this way, his brother, the old woman decides, you can pay half the price."

At this moment, another thin woman knelt down, holding a three or four-year-old girl in her arms. "Girl, please, please buy me and my daughter too. I was sold by my gambling husband. My daughter is free, please buy me. I have There is embroidery work, and the girl is so small, I can save her rations, it is definitely worth it if you buy me."

The little girl didn't know that she was in misery. When she saw Yan Yu, she looked at her curiously with big eyes and called her sister.

Yan Yu also nodded and bought it.

Steward Wu paid the money, and Yan Yu ordered the old woman to send the seriously injured brother to the hospital, and also ordered Lanyue to take the younger brother with him, and be sure to ask the doctor to cure him.

In the third house, I bought a few more daughters-in-law and two boys aged seven or eight.

Before going to the fourth foreign firm, Shan Qing whispered in Yan Yu's ear, "Girl, you don't want to buy those old, weak, sick and disabled ones anymore, or the mother will miss you."

Yan Yu nodded in agreement, but after entering the dental clinic, she soon decided to buy a seriously injured man.It is said that this man has some kung fu, and he refused to obey the discipline, so the nurses of the dental clinic beat him seriously, and it seemed that he was on the verge of dying.

As usual, sent to the hospital.

Shan Qing looked at the sky speechlessly.

Fortunately, two good cooks, two gardeners, and several nurses were selected in this house.

This trip is considered to have completed the task.Yan Yu was so tired that she couldn't straighten her waist, and when night fell, she was about to return to the gate of Yan's mansion.

As soon as Yan Yu got off the carriage, Shan Qing reminded her, "Girl, look, isn't that His Highness Prince Gong?"

Yan Yu turned her head, and saw His Royal Highness Prince Gong riding on a tall horse not far away, she was about to walk over to salute, but Gu Xuanyue suddenly galloped on the horse and ran away!

Shan Qing felt ashamed for His Highness, and was speechless again.

Yan Yu was at a loss, not knowing what Gu Xuanyue was up to, so it wouldn't be a sudden emergency, right?
Seeing a few people coming back, Sister Xian hurriedly Zhang Luo Xishi.

"Girl, Manager Liu has sent someone here. Look, this is the portrait of the man who sued the imperial court. This servant has seen it, and it is the owner of Zhou Shaozhuang. And he is indeed very talented in business affairs, otherwise he would not He was hated by others, and his family was destroyed."

"Okay, Lanyue, you send someone to find Mr. Zhou and ask him to come see me tomorrow."

"Good."

Now that Mr. Zhou is here and all the servants have been bought, as long as they are used properly, Yan Yu will be able to make a name for himself in this family.

Yan Yu slept soundly that night.

On the second day, she didn't want to go out either, she just wanted to have a good rest.

Knowing that she will not go out today, Shan Qing practiced martial arts in the yard.

Now in the Huaxu courtyard, the four second-class maids are already working very diligently. Every day when they see Aunt Xian and Lanyue have work in hand, they rush to do it.

Under the eaves, Yan Yu reclined comfortably on the imperial concubine chair, taking the moon to relax, but she couldn't stay idle, she was practicing martial arts with Shan Qing in a decent manner, although it was a show, it was really interesting to watch.

Looking at it, some thoughts flashed in Yan Yu's mind.

Yan Yu couldn't stay idle either, thinking about the thoughts in her mind, she rushed to the study to write them down.
