Chapter 12 Choosing a Maid

Two days later, the eldest wife, Mrs. Zhou, sent Gu Fuyun to tell everyone to go to the Peony Court.

The girls are all grown up and have their own yards, each yard has to arrange maids to let the girls manage by themselves, so as to practice their hands in being the masters and hosts in the future.

Gu Fuyun's previous maids have been dismissed a lot, this time she has to re-select the maids.

Gu Xiaoyun is going to get married, and she has to pick a few girls to dowry.

There is a maid beside Gu Youyun who has reached the age, and she will also be released to be a matchmaker.

After Gu Shuyun and Gu Qingyun's thirteenth birthday, each of them will have a yard, and they will need a lot of maids. The Zhou family then contacted Yazi, who has been cooperating with the Gu family for many years, and sent many maids. After two months of training, it was brought out for the three sisters to choose from.

Gu Xiaoyun was about to get married, so she only picked two fair-skinned, slender and delicate maidservants.

Although Gu Youyun is not engaged yet, the old lady and the Jin family are already looking for someone for her, and I believe there will be some prospects in the near future.

And Gu Youyun picked two ugly maids.

When it was Gu Fuyun's turn, he said to the five rows of maidservants: "Show off your best skills, you can do anything."

The maids looked at me and I looked at you, and then each told their true stories, most of them were female celebrities.

Gu Fuyun said: "All female celebrities are rotten on the street, and my Shuqing is an expert female celebrity. What other skills?"

The maids bowed their heads.

"Next group." Gu Fuyun said.

This group of servant girls went down dejectedly.

Another group of servant girls came over.

The five maids didn't speak, they just looked at Gu Fuyun nervously.

A servant girl said in a low voice: "A servant girl can only know how to be a girl."

It seems that the first step for a renzi to train a maid is to start with a female celebrity.

It's no wonder that the division of labor in ancient times was not as detailed as in modern times, and the productivity was backward. There were many mending jobs for a family, ranging from clothes and trousers to small clothes, handkerchiefs, purses and socks.The maid who will be a celebrity has always been the favorite of every big family.After all, there is a female celebrity who is familiar with it, but it saves a lot of expenses.

Gu Fuyun looked at the strong girl next to her, and asked her: "What about you? What are your specialties?"

The servant girl shrunk her body guiltily, and said in a low voice: "Servant, servant...does it count if the servant's strength counts?"

"Uh...forget it." Gu Fuyun's eyes lit up, and he asked her how strong she was.

The servant girl thought for a while and said, "I can easily lift a pumice stone."

Shuqing hurriedly said: "Girl, a piece of pumice stone weighs at least a hundred catties."

Gu Fuyun laughed: "Okay, it's you. Stand by my side."

The person beside him quickly said: "This girl really has eyesight. Although I am a bit stronger, my girl is really strong. Usually in my house, she is the one who carries water and pulls the mill, so she has great strength. In the future Following the girl will definitely save the girl a lot of trouble."

Zhou looked sideways and said with a smile: "Fifth girl, why did you choose this strong girl? Would you let her grind for you?"

Gu Fuyun smiled and said: "Take the strong servant girl out, if I am tired from walking, I can let her carry me on her back."

Gu Fuyun asked another maid: "What about you? What do you know?"

"My servant... before being sold, my servant has been selling poisonous snakes for money, and my servant is also good at shooting a slingshot. I don't know if that counts as an advantage?" The girl's voice was a little low.

The corners of Gu Fuyun's lips twitched: "It's indeed an advantage, okay, come over here."

The girl's eyebrows were flying with joy, and she quickly stood beside the strong maid.

Zhou stroked his forehead, but did not speak

Gu Fuyun picked two maids and felt that it was almost the same.

She doesn't like many people, there are already five people serving in the room, which is more than enough.

Gu Xiaoyun said: "Fifth sister, according to the rules, you should have to pick two more maids."

Gu Fuyun pointed to the strong maid and said: "This girl can eat five steamed buns for a meal, I think it should be more than enough for one person to do the work of two people." What's more, there is really no work in her yard. It is necessary to raise so many mouths.Although the maid doesn't have much monthly money, she still has to open her mouth to eat.

The strong servant girl immediately said: "No problem, it's on the servant girl."

Gu Xiaoyun didn't say anything more.

Next, Gu Shuyun and Gu Qingyun chose.The two sisters opened the courtyard separately, and the number of maids needed was relatively large. Each of them chose six maids.

The maidservants chosen by the two were stable and stable, like most of the noble girls, they didn't pick the ones who were pretty, and didn't pick the ones who were too shabby.

The corners of Gu Fuyun's lips twitched. Sure enough, as the daughter of a boudoir, she still has a set of general principles for picking maids. She resolutely doesn't pick one who is too beautiful, lest she overwhelm her limelight, and doesn't pick one who is too ugly, lest she be lowered. own taste.

The remaining maids all looked depressed, almost crying in disappointment.

Mrs. Zhou asked Gu Fuyun again: "Fifth girl, are you sure you don't want a maid?"

Gu Xiaoyun said: "Fifth sister, listen to my aunt and choose two more."

The sisters are all one big maid, and there are four big maids, but Gu Fuyun is missing two maids. If outsiders find out, they will think that Gu Fuyun has done something wrong.

Gu Fuyun had no choice but to keep picking.

Picked the fattest maid.

The fat maid was depressed when she saw that there were people wanting strong maids who were simple and edible, but she was not wanted, and she was shocked when she was picked by Gu Fuyun.

Ren Yazi was also stunned, afraid that Gu Fuyun was wrong, so he carefully asked for proof: "My lord, do you really want to pick this girl?"

Gu Fuyun said: "It's really rare to see such a fat maid, I want it."

Ren Yazi smiled happily, but soon she became a little suspicious again. Such a fat maid has been with her for several years and has not been sold. Why does this delicate lady want it again?
There are quite a lot of beasts in rich people's clothes. Who knows if this beautiful lady has bad habits?

Ren Yazi organized the words and said: "Although this maid is fat, she has good cooking skills. The girl chose her, and she is not considered to have buried her. This maid's father was once the imperial cook in the palace. He fell into disrepair because he offended a nobleman." It’s difficult, she was ransacked and sold. This maid fell into my hands, and her cooking skills are really good, but she also got a three-point inheritance from her father.”

Gu Fuyun's eyes lit up again: "Then it's even more important to ask for it." Although the food in the uncle's house is nutritious and healthy, the taste is just average.If there is a maid who is good at cooking, she can also enjoy her food.

Seeing that someone wanted her, and seeing her cooking skills, the fat servant girl burst into laughter and said happily, "I knew it, girls still have eyes."

The boy glared at her.

Gu Fuyun smiled, and didn't care about the fat maid's unruly interjection, his eyes scanned back and forth among the group of maids.

Picked the best-looking maid.

Not only people were puzzled, but Zhou and the others were also surprised.

"Fifth girl, why did you pick her?"

Gu Fuyun said with a smile: "It's not wrong to have such a good-looking maid by your side. The most important thing is that this girl is good at massage." Money is also not willing to hire a private masseuse every day.

Ancient labor is really worthless.

Don't be in vain.

Mrs. Zhou didn't say anything anymore, she thought that Gu Fuyun had taken a fancy to this maid's beauty, and she would be a roommate for the uncle from now on.

Gu Xiaoyun didn't say anything else, her thoughts were similar to Zhou's, and she gave Gu Fuyun a "sensible" look.

 Out of words

  Gu Fuyun: There are many things a strong maid can do.

  A maid who is beautiful and can pinch her shoulders and beat her back is a pleasure in the world. . . .
