Chapter 426: Choosing a Servant
It's just that he was a few months older than Tai Ge'er now.
But he felt that he was not as "smart" as Tai Ge'er at that time, so he was a slow bird and had to fly first, so Tai Ge'er naturally couldn't be delayed.
In the garden, those who practiced practiced, and those who played had fun.
In Qiwu Courtyard, Du Jingyi waited for the news that his uncle's mother had sent him.
"Zheng's mother-in-law will be here soon. I heard before that she has several suitable ones in her hands that are ready to be sent to other families. Take a look. If you think it's suitable, then we will stay."
"Is it suitable?"
"What's suitable or not? It didn't specify which family it was going to be sent to. What's there to be afraid of? Among all the mother-in-laws in Jinling City, she has the largest business, and the servants she trained are well-behaved and generous, so you can rest assured."
Hearing what his aunt said, Du Jingyi didn't think much about it. He chatted and laughed with his aunt while drinking tea, waiting for the mother-in-law to arrive.
The maids she had met in the general's mansion before were all doing business with the nobles in Sui'an City, so they were naturally respectable people. But today, the maids used by the noble families in Jinling City were even more polite than those in Sui'an City.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person.
Tai Ge'er pointed his finger, and Du Jingyi spoke eloquently.
The one who spoke was a younger girl, and her voice was still a little immature, but her temperament was steady.
"I heard that the lady wanted to find a servant for the young master, so I picked a few good ones to come over. Take a look. If you think they are suitable, keep them and train them. If you think they are suitable, you can go back and pick some bad ones to send over."
Du Jingyi's words were beyond Tai Ge'er's heart.
Ji Haole took a quick look and didn't like the seventh one on the right and the first one on the left, so he asked.
"Thank you for your concern, Du Jingyi."
"Where are those two from?"
Those two places have always been rich, especially when there are natural disasters and floods, there is no situation of selling children everywhere, so when Tai Geer heard that, he didn't ask any more questions.
"Raise your heads and show them to Madam Gu."
Rui Jiang knew that he should answer yes.
The two younger ones looked about 14 years old, and the other seven looked about 7 or 8 years old.
They have to serve others at such an old age, which is really forced by life.
"Madam, the eldest one is called Rui Jiang."
No matter which family they are from, they will say that you, Du Jingyi, are good at training. Will the business be endless?
"Okay, let's just stay outside the mansion and see. If it's suitable, there are many servants and maids of the master and the elder sister outside the house. We will trouble Ji Haole."
The eight people raised their heads when they heard it, their eyes slightly avoided, but their bodies stood straight.
Ji Hao next to him didn't understand what the outsiders meant, so he smiled foolishly and said.
If we follow Du Jingyi's teachings, we should naturally listen to the master's words, but now the madam's words have made me feel a little uneasy.
After hearing that, Ji Haole smiled even more.
"Ji Hao listens to Madam, but Madam, if you meet someone lower than Songshan, should you raise your head to look at him?"
"Take them slowly, thank Madam Gu for the reward."
When Ji Haole saw Ji Haole's inquiry, he immediately handed over the booklet with the seven people's information. Below it was vaguely recorded, when was it bought, who introduced it, the contract signed when it was bought, whether there were any relatives at home, where it was, how many years it had been studied, what it knew, etc.
What you valued was Ruijiang's maturity and steadiness. If he was trained to be a bad person, he would be a capable manager around Ji Haole in the near future. As for Songshan, he seems to be a smart person, so he can't play with Zheng Yapo.
If they are all rough sweeping and chores, they will naturally make money, but if they are Madam's elder sister, the close people around the master, this is very special. Our words and deeds are not your living signboard.
"The shorter ones are from Quzhou, and the shorter ones are from Lingzhou."
"When they leave the mansion, it is Zheng who will serve them. I only have a two-year-old child now, and the wet nurse and maids are taking care of a small part of my daily life. But you think that after a while, you should have no other thoughts about men and women, so it is more appropriate for the seven of them to take care of you personally."
Tai Ge'er replied, and then he saw you bow a little, and then he took two steps forward and waved to the inside, and asked the eight servants who followed you to stand side by side.
Hearing that, Tai Ge'er smiled and said with a narrow smile.
Du Jingyi wants to do long-term business, so although he is tolerant but harsh to those children, he will also cheat on the money rewarded by the master.
"Thank you, Madam Gu, for the reward."
"Madam, you are too kind. Ruijiang is just a servant. How dare he treat Daduye as his brother? Ruijiang dares."
And Songshan is naturally the shorter one. When he speaks, he is a little smart and not smart.
"What are their names?"
"Especially Ruijiang. He will have to take care of Zheng's daily life. It is inevitable that he will be less careless. You see, it is written on the outside of his book that he has no brothers or sisters at home, so he treats Zheng as his own brother."
Mrs. Zheng laughed so happily that Du Jingyi felt relieved when she saw her.
"Madam has a bad eye. Other adults dare not say anything, but Ruijiang is the most stable one outside. Don't look at me as I am only four years old now. Even if I am more than ten years old, I am afraid that I am not as stable as I am. Most of the time, there is no one watching over me. Madam can be a little more at ease these days."
"The eldest Songshan."
Shuxiu smiled and sent Du Jingyi out of the yard. In the main room, Tai Ge'er was talking seriously with Ruijiang and Songshan.
"Please trouble Du Jingyi to take the children to run a trip. Use the money to buy us food."
Ji Haole saw it clearly and settled down.
Ji Hao was a little flattered by Tai Ge'er's words.
But his face was handsome and he was well dressed. It was obvious that he had been taught by a bad teacher.
People in your line of business are all masters of business, but they are not the same. First of all, the first level is not to see which family you enter, and the seventh level is not to see what kind of work you do.
"I was just born with a worse fate than him, but it means that he can only be a man with a high head for the rest of his life, look at himself, and don't look down on others, don't you understand?"
After receiving the silver money for the indenture, he also took a reward.
