Chapter 135
Lu Xinlian gritted her teeth and gave Mo Li a hard look, and quickly explained to Mo Changhai: "Master, of course there is money in the house.

It's just that Mo Li and Yunmei are both grown up, don't I have to buy dowry for them?Although there will be dowry gifts at that time, the dowry must be prepared in advance, and it should not be too shabby.

In addition, Yuanchang will marry a wife in a few years, and he has to prepare a dowry for him.So be more frugal at ordinary times, and it will look good when the time comes. "

Mo Changhai's complexion got better now: "Ma'am, I'm overwhelmed, the old man has only been without salary for five months, not all the time.

Mo Li was raised in the old house since she was a child, and the rumors outside are already quite unfavorable to the Mo family. If she is treated harshly in life, the outside world does not know what it will be like.

If Mo Mansion's reputation is not good, Yunmei and Yuanchang's marriage will definitely be affected in the future. "

Lu Xinlian was very unwilling to match Mo Li with a servant, a country girl, why should she be treated the same as Yunmei?
But she was also afraid that Mo Changhai would find out that she used money from the mansion to subsidize her natal family's affairs privately, so she said embarrassingly: "Master, I also want to assign more servants to Mo Li, but everyone in the mansion is busy now, how can I do it?" Idlers?

Now pointing to Mo Li's maid, it's still hard to find out.

Master, Mo Li lives in a small yard and doesn't have much work to do, and she is used to living on her own, so she doesn't need so many servants. "

Mo Changhai lowered his face: "It's not that it's unnecessary, it's that if it spreads, it will hurt the face of the Mo family. It really is a woman, don't just feel sorry for the little money and only see the petty profits in front of you." , take a long-term view.

If there are not enough servants, I will buy a few more. "

After he said that, Lu Xinlian could only respond: "Yes!"

Mo Changhai frowned and waved his hands: "Mo Li, you have to remember that you can only speak good things about the Mo family when you are outside, and the so-called family ugliness should not be publicized.

The old man is not teaching you to lie, but you can choose not to say some things.

You back off. "

"Yes." Mo Li blessed her body and left.

Back in her small courtyard, she pushed away the maid's bracelet and called a carrier pigeon...

The next day, Lu Xinlian went to buy maids from the toothmaid, she picked from left to right, but it took so long to choose someone, even the toothmaid was annoyed: "Madam Mo, these girls are all good, what else do you want to choose?"

Lu Xinlian smacked her lips: "Could it be cheaper? It's [-]% more expensive than when I bought it last time."

"Mrs. Mo, don't even think about it. The last time you bought it was five years ago. Now that everything is going up in price, no matter how cheap it is, do you want us to drink the northwest wind?"

Lu Xinlian said: "It's cheaper, I'll buy three girls."

Seeing her stingy look, the toothmaid thought of the rumors outside that Mo's house didn't even have the money to look at Feng Han, and said impatiently: "Mrs. Mo, you can't get a penny cheap, I've already given you the lowest price.

If you really want to spend less money, I suggest you don't buy maids, just hire a few girls, maybe you can save some money. "

Lu Xinlian's face was a bit ugly: "It's not about money, it's because I don't think these girls are worth the price."

The toothmaid's tone was not very good: "then you go to another place to look around, maybe there are people in other places that you can catch your eye."

There were so many people here, it was not easy for Lu Xinlian to argue with her, so she lost her status as an official, so she turned around and left.

Just a few steps away, two girls in coarse clothes grabbed her arms from left to right and plopped down on their knees.

One of them raised his head, with a handsome face, tears in his eyes, and a pitiful expression: "Madam, are you going to buy a maid, can you see me and my sister?"

Lu Xinlian looked at the two of them. Although the clothes were a little worn out, their faces and hands were clean. From the looks of their faces, they looked like innocent girls who hadn't been involved deeply. Both of them had weeds stuck in their heads.

"Madam," another girl raised her head, her face was full of tears, but she couldn't hide the delicate look between her brows, she cried, "Madam, please take me and my sister in!
Both of our parents died, so we had to come to the capital to join our uncle.But yesterday I managed to reach the capital, only to learn that my uncle had already died of illness.

We can endure all hardships and do any kind of work. We just ask my wife to take us two sisters in and give us food! "

Lu Xinlian's mind became active, she rolled her eyes and said, "How much money do you want?"

"Ma'am, all we want is a place to eat, sleep, and shelter from the wind and rain. We don't need money."

"No money?" Lu Xinlian was overjoyed, but also a little hesitant, is there such a good thing in the world?If such a good thing really happened, it wouldn't be such a coincidence that it happened to happen to her.

"Ma'am," one of them secretly observed Lu Xinlian's expression, seeing her suspicious expression, sobbed, "Although we don't want money, we have a condition.

Although my sister and I were born in poverty, we did not want to sell ourselves.After waiting for two years, I still want to... find someone to marry and live a good life.

Someone asked the price yesterday, but they all refused when we told us that we would not sell ourselves and that we would not work for a long time.

At first glance, the madam has the heart of a bodhisattva. My sister and I have not eaten for a day and a night. I beg the madam to take us in and give us a stutter. "

Lu Xinlian was overjoyed, it would be better if she didn't need money, and it would be better if she worked soon.Then Mo Li will always get married, and the two servant girls can follow Mo Li or leave directly, as long as they don't stay in the mansion.

She "reluctantly" said: "Well, you are also poor people, just follow me."

*
When Mo Li returned home from the official academy at noon, Lu Xinlian led the two girls to her yard.

The two maids had already changed into maid costumes in the mansion, and their hair was combed into double buns. Although they were dressed as maids, they did not have the servility of maids in terms of appearance or temperament.

Lu Xinlian didn't doubt it. After all, these two girls had never been maids before, and they were also children cared for by their elders before their parents died.As for whether they can really endure hardship, whether they are really well-behaved, these are not important.

She wished that the two of them would cause trouble for Mo Li.

"Mo Li, these are the newly bought two maids, Suxiang and Sushuang, your yard is small, three maids are enough to take care of and serve you.

Go out and talk less nonsense in the future! "

The two servant girls saluted: "My servant Suxiang (Sushuang) has met the eldest lady!"

Mo Li just glanced casually: "It's just in time, go and help me wash my clothes."

"Yes!"

When Lu Xinlian saw that the two girls had just arrived, Mo Li assigned them to work, and she was even happier.Su Xiang and Su Shuang have never served anyone before, so they may not be able to bear this tone in their hearts, but I hope they don't let her down.

Lu Xinlian left, and Mo Li ordered Xiao Zhuan to get the food.

As soon as Xiao Bracelet left, the three of them looked at each other and immediately entered the room with a smile.

Su Xiang looked at the furnishings in the room, curled her lips: "Master, is this kind of place for you to live in Mo Mansion?"

Su Shuang said with a smile: "It's not that you don't know, the master never picks where to live, only picks what to eat.

Master, as soon as we received your message, we were waiting at the toothmaid's place.Without the master, Suxiang and I seem to have lost our backbone. "
