Chapter 817 Mother-in-Law's Majesty
Bai Yunxi sat in the armchair under the porch with a proper smile, looking at the people standing in the yard, and turned to look at the two wives, "You go and pick, and keep the ones you like.
They have a large family, so they should prepare the people early, and when the people at home come, there will be people to use,
Zhang Yishan smiled gently at Mrs. Du, "Sister-in-law, let's go together."
"Hey~,"
Mrs. Du smiled gratefully, she knew that the fifth brother's wife was a good person and knew how to take care of her.
The two walked around the people, picked out four girls aged thirteen or fourteen, and then came back.
Bai Yunxi looked at the people they picked, but didn't say anything. She looked at the people standing again. It is said that eyes are the windows to the soul. In this regard, she thinks she is okay.
When the tooth groom saw this, he immediately waved his hand at everyone with a look,
"Listen carefully, four people stand in front of each other in a row, let Bai Yi take a look, whether you can be selected depends on your own luck. "
As soon as these words came out, those people automatically changed their arrangement, standing in groups of four, with their heads slightly lowered, and no one dared to speak carelessly.
Bai Yunxi looked at them and admired them in his heart. The management rules of the pawnshop were really good, without any noise.
Next, these people saluted and greeted Bai Yunxi in groups, and then raised their heads for Bai Yunxi to watch. Their eyes were indifferent and resigned, and they had long been accustomed to being picked like goods.
In this regard, Bai Yunxi could do nothing except sigh that the feudal dynasty had clear classes and the lives of the lower classes were worthless.
From the beginning to the end, Bai Yunxi picked out ten more people, five men and five women, one of whom was a woman in her forties.
The selected people stood aside, and before the host family could speak, the broker immediately stepped forward with a look of tact and waved to the remaining people. The unsuccessful people retreated to the corner and stood still, and there was also silence.
Zhang Yishan saw that her mother-in-law had made her selection, and immediately told Zhang Mama to take the broker to settle the bill and bring back the indentures of these people.
When only her own people were left in the yard, Zhang Yishan turned to look at her mother-in-law, "I wonder how mother is going to arrange these people?"
Listening to her daughter-in-law's question, Bai Yunxi waved her hand,
"You kid, didn't mother give you the housekeeper's affairs? Why do you still ask me? Since you asked, mother will say one more thing. Zhang Mama, who is beside you, seems to have good etiquette and manners. Hand these people over to her. Let Zhang Mama teach them the rules well, and it won't be too late to come out and work. "
Listening to her mother-in-law's proposal, Zhang Yishan did not refuse and nodded in agreement. At present, in the whole mansion, only Zhang Mama is good at etiquette and rules, and she is also the head mother specially trained by her mother.
Bai Yunxi saw her daughter-in-law agreed, turned her head and looked at the woman she had just chosen,
"Come forward.
The woman was stunned when she saw the master calling her, and hurriedly lowered her head and walked forward quickly, bowing and saluting,
"The old slave greets the master and thanks the master for taking her in."
Bai Yunxi looked at her words and deeds and listened to her calm tone, and knew that this was not an ordinary woman.
"I see that you have good etiquette and are not young anymore. Why did you fall into the pawnshop?"
If the servant is capable, the master will generally be reluctant to let him go, unless the master encounters some force majeure and has no choice but to sell the slaves. Of course, there are also servants who make mistakes and anger the master and are sold.
Hearing Bai Yunxi's question, the old woman's face tightened, and she knelt on the ground, kowtowed to her, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
As expected, some things can't be avoided.
"I dare not deceive the master. My granddaughter and I were sold out by the previous master's family. As a servant, since we have been sold, the grudges with the previous master's family are written off. It is a taboo to mention the situation of the previous master's family again. But I swear to heaven that we, the grandparents and grandchildren, have never disrespected the previous master's family. Please be clear about it."
Bai Yunxi listened and raised his eyebrows,
"Grandparents and grandchildren? Is your granddaughter one of the people we chose today?"
Before the old woman answered, a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old came out of the crowd and knelt down with the old woman,
"This servant pays respects to the master."
Bai Yunxi looked at the grandparents and grandchildren. Well, they really got together.
"My family is simple, without so many trivial matters. The only thing I hope is that the family is safe and happy. Since we have a master-servant relationship, I will also speak out the ugly words in advance. Anyone with impure thoughts, who exceeds the status and does something that should not be done, will be sold as the lightest punishment."
Bai Yunxi said, and glanced at the crowd standing next to him. There was an unquestionable sharpness in his eyes, which made the new servant unconsciously straighten his body and feel uneasy.
"Of course, if you behave yourself and do your job well, you will get the rewards you deserve. In a word, when you work in the Bai family, rewards and punishments are clear."
The two grandparents and grandchildren who were kneeling below heard Bai Yunxi's words and immediately kowtowed and promised,
"I will obey the master's orders and fulfill my duties."
Looking at the grandparents and grandchildren, Bai Yunxi waved his hand,
"Get up, and come to me directly after you have learned the rules from Mother Zhang."
"Thank you for your love, I will do my best."
After the lecture, Bai Yunxi turned around and saw the two daughters-in-law staring at him blankly, especially Zhang Yishan, who was worried and confused.
Thinking about his usual image, Bai Yunxi slightly curved the corners of his lips.
"Take them to the side yard and let them boil water and wash themselves, and then ask the doctor to come and take their pulses." These people stay in the dental clinic all day, in case they get sick or have any hidden diseases, it's better to plan early.
Seeing her mother-in-law's teasing eyes, Zhang Yishan came back to her senses and smiled coquettishly, "Ginkgo, take the person down quickly and place her there."
She was shocked by her mother-in-law's eyes just now.
That kind of momentum from the inside out is no less than that of her mother.
I didn't expect that my usually amiable mother-in-law would have such a fierce side. Today she was really smart.
Listening to her daughter-in-law's thoughts, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.
"What's the matter? Are you scared by your mother?"
If it weren't for the fear that she would be unable to control the situation due to her young age, there would be no need for her to take action herself.
The family is barely settled, but some servants can't cause chaos in the house. Some things still need to be done.
Looking at her mother-in-law's teasing eyes, Zhang Yishan blushed, looked at her sister-in-law who had not yet come to her senses, and chuckled,
"My mother was so majestic just now. My sister-in-law and I were both frightened by you, not to mention those people. With my mother in charge, our family will be safe and sound."
Her mother had long told her that for the people below, the intimidation that should be intimidated, the kindness that should be shown, and the art of controlling people are not just as simple as saying scary words with a straight face, they can make people really fearful of talents. That's a real skill.
Master the art of controlling people and appoint people based on their talents. Being a master will save you worries, and those who are appointed will also be grateful.
Today her eyes were opened.
