Chapter 688
Concubine Ning looked at Jiang Zhimian's shining, expectant eyes, and couldn't help laughing.

He reached out to poke her forehead, "Are you afraid of hard work, so you want to find someone to help you share it?"

"Zhimian, why don't you learn by yourself, I heard that many concubines will rely on their own ability to settle accounts and housekeepers, and then step by step become the masters of the house, and then kick the original mistress from her position. "Fu Xiner said very worriedly.

Princess Ning was very surprised, "Where did you hear that?"

"It's just the book outside. There's a lot written about the concubine's transformation into the mistress of the house!" Fu Xiner replied without any concealment.

"The books outside? The novels in the market? How do you read those." Princess Ning was even more surprised.

Fu Xiner was very excited, "Those good-looking ones are much more interesting than the Book of Songs. It was only after reading those that I realized how boring I used to be. I thought that as long as I was a talented woman, I would be able to live in peace."

Now it seems that in life, one still needs to have some skills and a city.

Concubine Ning originally wanted to persuade Fu Xin'er not to watch those anymore, lest others find out, and when the time comes, it will be said that she, the most talented girl in the capital, will gain a false reputation.

But think about it again, Fu Xiner is too simple, it doesn't matter if you look at these things.

After all, after getting married in the future, you will definitely encounter these things. At that time, you will have no means, but you will really become the poor former headed mother in the book.

Covering her mouth and coughing lightly, she warned, "Just look at it, don't talk about it everywhere, if people know about it, it should be said that you, a talented girl, have lost your reputation."

"I know Princess Ning, be careful goddaughter." Fu Xiner stuck out her tongue and said.

The topic returned to Jiang Zhimian.

Jiang Zhimian said, "Of course I won't be lazy, but the old housekeeper of King Ning's Mansion must know a lot of tricks about checking and managing accounts. I want to find someone to learn. After I learn it, I will return to Pingnan County and help me manage my world. Church and beauty salon."

"What's so difficult about this? You want to marry Mo Han. You originally wanted to bring two dowry maids with you, but you don't have any by your side. In the afternoon, I will find two clean ones for you. Follow along. In the future, you will let me marry you." They do whatever they want."

"Where are you going to look for it?"

Fu Xiner quickly answered, "On the southernmost street in Beijing, there are many poor people who are poor enough to be slaves. They can get a lot of money by signing a three-year-five-year contract."

Jiang Zhimian nodded.

That's about the same as the modern labor market, but with long-term contracts.

"I also want to go and see, okay? Anyway, I'm going to choose a dowry maid, so I have to choose someone who is close to my eyes, right?" Jiang Zhimian asked.

Princess Ning smiled and agreed, "Okay."

That afternoon, she took Jiang Zhimian to that street.

As soon as they walked in, those people with pats on their chests or holding signs in their hands rushed up in a swarm.

If it wasn't for the servants blocking him, it would have been posted directly on Jiang Zhimian.

"Miss Madam, choose me, I can work, I can do everything!"

"I am strong, and I can do rough and heavy work."

"Buy me, I'm cheap and eat less!"

……

Hearing these people's self-introductions, Jiang Zhimian was not too satisfied.

Concubine Ning also didn't think much of her.

"If you go further in, it will be better. You can choose maids and so on inside." Princess Ning introduced.

Sure enough, beyond this group of noisy people, there are some girls sitting on both sides of the street in a decent manner, with the price written on the sign.

After picking and choosing for a while, Jiang Zhimian chose a girl named Xiaotao.

And Concubine Ning also took a fancy to one, called Tangxin.

When the two girls got together, their appearances were still marked, but when they stood in front of Jiang Zhimian, they were instantly overshadowed.

Princess Ning is very satisfied with this appearance.

If the servant girl is more beautiful than the master, it's a bit of a reversal of priorities, and this is just right.

And Jiang Zhimian picked the two of them because of their thin fingers and calluses from needlework.

Such hands are very careful in making things, and if they go back to Jianghutang in the future to make cosmetics or something, it will not be a disservice.

"Princess Ning, have we chosen these two?" Jiang Zhimian asked.

Concubine Ning waved her hand, "Wait a minute, there is another thing."

Under Jiang Zhimian's suspicious eyes, Princess Ning looked at Xiaotao and Tangxin with a serious face, "You are both fourteen this year, if you follow the master, you will have to wait until your early twenties to get married, can you afford to wait?" ?”

Xiaotao and Tangxin took a step forward, "If you go back to the master, we are both from the same hometown and we are married. It is also possible to marry after we are in our early twenties."

"That's fine, let's go." Princess Ning nodded in satisfaction.

……

Late at night, Jiang Zhimian sat at the table in a daze.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew up, and a crisp breath came in through the half-opened window.

Jiang Zhimian didn't even lift his eyelids, and said directly to the door, "Why are you here? It's late at night. Didn't you say it's better to see each other less before getting married?"

Chi Mohan entered the room in response, and put a carved red sandalwood food box on the table.

Zhan's black eyes fell on Jiang Zhimian's cheek, "It's because you don't come here, but it's not like you don't let me come."

"The less you come, the better not to come," Jiang Zhimian pouted, and the next second his attention was diverted by the food box, "What's delicious inside?"

"Gao Guifei said that you like the cakes in her palace, so let me bring you some back." Chi Mohan said, and opened the food box.

All kinds of pastries are piled up into hills, which looks very appetizing.

But Jiang Zhimian picked and picked, and only chose the smallest piece, holding it in his hand and looking around, "That was to deceive the Queen Mother, in fact, the pastries in the palace are not very delicious, and sometimes they are not as good as the snacks on the street. Woolen cloth."

It's like going to a big hotel to eat Boston lobster. It doesn't necessarily have the same pleasure as stepping on the trash can at a food stall to kill three catties of crayfish.

"Concubine Ning took you to choose a dowry maid today?" Chi Mohan changed the subject again.

Jiang Zhimian nodded, "Yes, I chose two, named Xiaotao and Tangxin, both of whom know how to do needlework. If you agree with me, they will definitely help me a lot in the future."

After a pause, her eyes were a little puzzled, "But Concubine Ning chose them after asking about their marriage, why? Can't she be a maid after getting married?"

"Well, but I don't think Princess Ning asked because of this." Chi Mohan replied.

"Why is that?" Jiang Zhimian asked again.

Chi Mohan looked at her like a torch, "It's because I'm afraid that someone will separate your husband, so I put an end to it."

Oh, it turned out that I was afraid of marrying a maid to change my concubine~
Jiang Zhimian waved his hand directly, "Don't worry, I'm not afraid at all."
