The sturdy farmer's wife: the prince's favorite concubine

Chapter 198
When Shen heard this, she was a little embarrassed. Although she had been doing business for a long time, she really didn't have much experience when it came to picking and buying people, so she stood aside with a blushing face.

"Xiang'er, why don't you choose two for mother, mother doesn't know which one to choose."

When the matchmaker heard this, before Yang Yuanxiang could speak, she pulled a 13-year-old girl to introduce her.

"Ma'am, you are pregnant now. My suggestion to you is to choose those girls who know how to needle and thread and have quick hands and feet. This girl and the one behind are from rich families before. They can do rough work and fine work. That's fine too."

Yang Yuanxiang glanced at the two girls, seeing that Mrs. Shen had no idea, she just stood aside with a blushing face, and said.

"Which house did you work as a girl? Why did you come out again?"

The girl standing in front glanced at Yang Yuanxiang, then hurriedly lowered her head.

"We used to be maids in a Yuanwai's family named Zhou. Later, the old lady left. We didn't need so many people in the family. We rough maids were sold out. We have several sisters here. Miss, you have pity Pity us, we can do things and be obedient, I just ask you to give us something to eat."

When Yang Yuanxiang heard this, he glanced at the girl.

"What else do you do besides sewing?"

The girl glanced at the matchmaker, then turned to look at Yang Yuanxiang.

"I can do everything. I used to be a rough envoy girl, doing laundry, cooking, making beds, making beds, sewing, and doing everything."

The corner of Yang Yuanxiang's mouth turned up.

"Since you can do anything, why is the Zhou family willing to let you out? Who do you think I am? Come and trick me casually? If you want to enter my house, just tell the truth, or you'd better leave."

The girl was taken aback, she obviously didn't expect Yang Yuanxiang to be such a shrewd person, she knelt down when her legs gave way.

"Miss, you have pity on me, let me tell the truth, I will tell you the truth."

Yang Yuanxiang nodded in satisfaction.

"Then tell the truth, if you want to tell half a lie, I don't want you."

When the girl heard this, she quickly kowtowed a few times.

"I said, I said, I was originally a girl in Zhou Yuanwai's house, and I was dedicated to serving the old lady. Although I'm not a rough girl, I'm not a first-class girl in the house either.

One day, the first-class girls in the room were not there, so I brought tea in, but when I saw Yuanwai Zhou was about to kill the old lady, I overturned the teacup and ran out.

Later the old lady died, and Zhou Yuanwai was afraid that people would know that he killed the old lady, and he didn't know who saw it, so he kicked out us girls who had served the old lady. I was implicated, miss, please do me a favor, buy our sisters, I will repay you for the rest of my life.

Miss, you can just buy us, we don't want to be sold separately into the ravine to be married to others, please help us. "

The girl kowtowed as she spoke, and with a few bang bang bangs, her forehead was broken, and the ground was covered with blood. Yang Yuanxiang pulled her up as soon as she saw it, and turned to look at the matchmaker.

"Old mother, how many girls from the Zhou family do you have over there? How is their character? If they are passable, bring them over. These experienced girls are better than the newly bought ones. My mother is pregnant, so I can't go to train people again. , look at how many people it is, send them all over."

When the toothmaid heard this, she felt a little troubled.

"Oh, miss, you have a good heart, but you know, I sell people batch by batch. The few people you pick are all people with upper-middle qualifications in each batch of me. You pick them all for me. Let’s go, I’ll leave some crooked melons and split dates to sell.”

Yang Yuanxiang rolled his eyelids and rolled his eyes.

"I don't care how you sell them. I want these girls. If the maximum number is not enough, I will pick a few more. If you don't sell them, my family will not want any of them. You can find another house to buy them.

But as far as I know, in these ten miles and eight villages, like my house, you can buy more than a dozen girls at a time, and you can't find a second one. "

When the toothmaid heard this, she was in a difficult situation, but she thought that it was a big deal, so she let it go for nothing, and she felt pain again, so she could only grit her teeth.

"Succeed..., then I will bring someone over for you in the afternoon, and hand over everything including the deed of prostitution to the young lady."

Yang Yuanxiang nodded when he heard it.

In the afternoon, the matchmaker also brought the people over on time. Yang Yuanxiang looked at the newly bought people and stood in the courtyard to count the number of people.

Looking at the twelve maids and twelve servants standing below, Yang Yuanxiang nodded in satisfaction.

"Listen well, from now on you will all be members of my Yang family. When you enter my house, you must abide by the rules of my house. The first thing is that you are not allowed to steal. If anyone steals from the house, I will send it to you once I catch it." You are an official, secondly, you are not allowed to be obedient and vicious, do one thing in front of the master, and do one thing behind the back, and third, serve the master with all your heart, who dares to slack off, pay attention to your skin, do you understand?"

The twenty or so people nodded and answered yes in a neat and loud manner, and Yang Yuanxiang smiled with satisfaction.

"Then I'll allocate places for everyone, go find what you should do, and stop wandering around at home with nothing to do, you know?"

The people below all answered, Yang Yuanxiang nodded and assigned the people contentedly.

In Shen's and Yang Guangzhong's house, Yang Yuanxiang arranged for three maids, two delicate maids, to serve in the house, and one rough maid to serve in the yard. They both lived in the small courtyard with Shen and his wife.

Yang Guangzhong also arranged for two young servants to follow Yang Guangzhong to look around the business during the day, from running errands to serving tea and water, they failed to fall behind, so these two young servants were the most clever two.

Then there are Yang Yuanxiang and Yang Yuanqiu's house. There are three girls here, one for Yang Yuanqiu, who is in charge of all her affairs. There are two beside Yang Yuanxiang, one is in charge of daily life, and the other is in charge of assisting Yang Yuanxiang's business. This girl was specially selected by Yang Yuanxiang. Yes, she can do accounts, write, and do needlework. She is a very clever girl.

As for the girl who begged Yang Yuanxiang to save her at the beginning, she is now in charge of Yang Yuanxiang's daily life.

There are also Taohua and Shen Zhimin, Yang Yuanxiang also asked them to pick one, and there are four girls left, two of them went into the kitchen, one was in charge of all the cleaning, and the other stayed in Shen's house for the time being, waiting for his younger brother. After Yang Yuanche was born, he was responsible for taking care of Yang Yuanche.

There are also twelve young servants, two follow Yang Guangzhong, two are in charge of Shen's travel, two follow Yang Yuanxiang and Yang Yuanqiu respectively, two enter the kitchen, and the remaining four are temporarily guarding the door at home. hospital.

After arranging everyone, Yang Yuanxiang took the two girls around him back to his room, ready to talk about the rules.
