Jia Lian took over the task of picking up Daiyu, and changed his laziness from the previous few days. After leaving Mengpozhai, he went to the front yard to select the people who would accompany him.

This world is no different than that of later generations. The probability of encountering dangers such as bandits on a long journey is relatively high.

Jia Lian was not stupid enough to ride alone for thousands of miles. Who would he ask to reason with if his head was cut off along the way?

Therefore, even if he has to rush, he must choose a few capable followers.

After doing this, he was ready to go to the accounting office to collect the necessary inventory fees. Hearing Jia Mu’s call, he turned back to Rongqing Hall.

"I have met my ancestors."

Discovering that apart from Jia Mu and a group of maids and servants, there was only Wang Xifeng in Rongqing Hall, Jia Lian knew that Jia Mu was probably the only one in Rongqing Hall. I have to act as a peacemaker between him and Wang Xifeng.

I shook my head in my heart, as expected, the meowing cat has sweets to eat.

Just after showing off, Jia Mu became concerned about his affairs. In the past few days, Rongqingtang had no intention of asking about him.

"Lian Er, I heard that you had a quarrel with your wife and moved to the outer study out of anger?"

Jia's mother is a qualified head of the family. She had previously reprimanded Jia Zheng. At that time, he was very dignified, but now he acts as a kind elder, and there is no disharmony at all.

"My grandson is guilty. Because of a trivial matter, my ancestors got involved."

Jia Mu waved her hand and said, "Is there anything you can do to get involved? Your wife can't do it either." You've all told me, she's just a little girl, how come the couple has become so inseparable?

Let's do this, for the sake of your wife serving me all year round. , I took care of this matter for her.

"You are missing one person in the room, I will compensate you for one more person, and then this matter will be over. Do you think you can make it happen?"

When Jia Mu said this, there was no room for Jia Lian to refuse.

But when he heard that Jia Mu wanted to compensate him alone, and looking at Wang Xifeng's gloomy face next to him, Jia Lian couldn't help but laugh again.

If this is the case, he actually won the first game with Feng Lazi. Wang Xifeng shot himself in the foot.

So he nodded and agreed to Jia Mu’s wishes.

When Jia Mu saw this, she didn’t hesitate. She smiled and waved to the side, and then she saw a bunch of maids squirming around, and three of them were pushed out by their companions.

They are all the maids in Jia Mu’s house who receive one or two months’ worth of money, and they are all beautiful and beautiful.

When you see this, you can’t help butNot to mention that Jia's mother is also a senior beauty control person. She especially likes good-looking people.

As long as the grandchildren in the family are good-looking, she will not be stingy with her love and rewards.

Among the three sisters, Yingchun and Tanchun, needless to say, are both granddaughters of this house. But the youngest Xichun, the real lady in Ningguo Mansion, was taken over by Jia Mu to raise her since she was a child because she lost her mother at a young age and was so cute...

Faced with her grandchildren like this , the same goes for the maid.

Her old man was very picky about maids, and since she had nothing to do after being raised, she was free to take care of the maids in the house. She kept the good ones, and sent the bad ones around, so that most of the best maids in the entire Rongguo Mansion were in Rongqing Hall.

And those who can choose to serve in front of me are even more outstanding.

It’s just that her status is so respected that even though many young and old men in the two houses covet these pretty girls, they don’t dare to do it and have no way of doing it.

I didn’t expect that today he would be lucky enough to receive a reward from Jia Mu, who still let him choose.

It seems that Jia Mu is not just trying to mediate the conflict between him and Wang Xifeng, but also has a deeper meaning, as a reward for his performance today.

Take a quick look at the three maids. They are all capable maids who usually serve Jia Mu. Their monthly income is one tael of silver. They are the highest-ranking maids in the Jia family. There are only about ten such maids in the entire Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Mu only has eight of them.

Perhaps Jia Mu was also worried that Wang Xifeng would do something evil again, so she made this arrangement. Wang Xifeng didn't dare to take care of anyone who grew up next to her, even if she was a maid!

But it’s a pity that she still didn’t want to let him choose the one she loved the most...

Jia Lian thought to himself and glanced at Jia Lian subconsciously. Behind her mother, she was giving Jia Mu a gentle glance at the mandarin duck on her shoulder.

"Ping, Xi, and Yuan" are the representative figures of the maids in Rongguo Mansion. Others have probably lost some.

Ping'er is in the hands of Wang Xifeng, and Xiren is also Jia Mu's maid. Now she has been placed by Jia Mu's side with Jia Baoyu. This mandarin duck has never been found, and Jia Mu herself Hold on tightly. This also shows that it is rare, even Jia Mu cherishes it very much.

"Haha, our ancestors gave you three such beautiful ones to choose from. Are you still not satisfied? Are you still eyeing the Yuanyang girl?"

Wang Xifeng has always been resentful. Staring at Jia Lian, although Jia Lian only glanced at Yuanyang, she was still keenly caught by her and immediately laughed out loud.

Everyone knows that Yuanyang is currently with Jia MuIt would be a good thing for Jia Mu, the most capable maid, to let Jia Mu know that Jia Lian coveted the mandarin duck, get angry and withdraw her reward.

Wang Xifeng's words also made the people around him burst into laughter. Half a cloud of clouds flew up on the face of the person involved, Yuanyang, but he quickly put it away and then glared at Wang Xifeng.

Others are afraid of this Mistress Lian, but she is not afraid. If they dare to make fun of her again, they will definitely spit on her.

Jia Mu also smiled, but her smile was not so kind.

There was no panic on Jia Lian's face. He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Miss Yuanyang is a first-class good girl in the house, but who doesn't know that she is also the beloved of our ancestors? Our ancestors He seems to love something, so how dare his grandson seize food from a tiger's mouth and move his mind.

The grandson thinks that if the ancestors really rewarded the grandson, the grandson does have a candidate, and he also has a choice. Please be generous, ancestor."

"Oh? You didn't like any of them, so who did you like?"

Jia Mu took a look at the ones she picked out The three of them were surprised again. Jia Lian had a good idea. In order to encourage Jia Lian's filial behavior today and to prevent another fire in Jia Lian's backyard, she took it seriously and took out the best maids she usually took care of.

"Haha, if our ancestors are willing, why not give Qingwen to our grandson." Jia Lian said with a smile.

"Who?" Jia Mu didn't understand for a moment, but she was still a servant girl and said with a smile: "Old lady, could it be that the second master Lian is talking about that little girl Qingwen? It was the girl Lai's mother gave to the old lady years ago. Yes, the old lady agreed upon seeing her, even named her herself, and then asked someone to take her down to learn the rules. She also said that she would be called to serve her in the future."

"I remembered."< br />
Jia Mu still had an impression, but she was curious: "Such a little girl, how did you know her?"

Jia Lian smiled and replied: "Last time I came here To say hello to my ancestors, I bumped into each other once on the verandah. I heard someone call her Qingwen, so I remembered it."

Jia Mu hummed twice and said to the people around her: "I I say that every good thing in my house, young and old, all of them want it. Don’t you believe it? Now you can see that even the little girl in my hand, who is still learning the rules, is someone who is trying to steal it. Go, not to mention other good things?"

All the servants and women laughed: "Our ancestors are also good at treating people. If a girl comes from somewhere else, I'm afraid Second Master Lian won't look down on her either."

"What else does he dislike..."

Jia Mu glanced at Jia Lian sideways and snorted inexplicably, which made Jia Lian feel like a light on his back.

Didn’t show anything more, anyway, he took the initiative to fight for it, and there was nothing he could do if Jia Mu didn't give it to him.

I think Qingwen was still young at this time and had not been given Jia Baoyu by Jia Mu, so she should not be reluctant to part with it.

Sure enough, although Jia Mu was a little dissatisfied when she remembered Jia Lian's past, she still did not change her original intention and asked someone to call him.

And the three first-class maids, who knew they had been eliminated, consciously stood back obediently.

It’s neither too disappointing nor too happy.

It’s a good thing to be the aunt in Mr. Lian’s house. After all, Mr. Lian is not only a serious master of the family, but also a handsome and handsome person...

The bad thing is that Second Master Lian's behavior... is really not very admirable.

Not to mention, there is Mistress Lian in his room who is watching covetously! Who can live peacefully with people like Mistress Lian staring at her every day?

I haven’t seen the two people who lived in Mr. Lian’s house before. They were also good girls in the house. Mistress Lian had only been in the house for a short time, but they all “died badly”.

Not long after, Qingwen was brought in under the guidance of the young daughter-in-law.

Xu arrived in a hurry. She was only wearing a light red light plaid thin coat, an apricot long-sleeved shirt underneath, and a light-colored tie around her waist. A white sarong with purple patterns.

Although she was not as brightly dressed as the other maids, she raised her head and allowed everyone in the hall to see her face clearly, and they couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts: What a beautiful girl!

Bai Shengsheng has a delicate little face with melon seeds, a thin mouth that is naturally rosy, and above her small nose are thin eyebrows and beautiful eyes, as well as a few light bangs and A braid of hair hanging down from the ear. Although she is young, she is already a complete beauty.

When Wang Xifeng saw her, a cold light shot out of her eyes, staring at her closely.

At this moment, Qingwen didn't know why she was called here in such a hurry. She just stepped forward and greeted Jia Mu in a polite manner.

Jia Mu pulled her in front of her eyes, touched her little face and looked at her carefully, and sighed: "If I hadn't agreed to you before, I really wouldn't be able to part with such a good girl. "

All the ladies also laughed: "If this girl hadn't been born so well, I'm afraid that Mr. Lian wouldn't have chosen the three eldest girls in the old lady's house. Where is she."

"Humph, he is quite cunning. Trading a big girl for a little girl seems like a loss on the surface, but just by looking at the girl's appearance, you can tell that he has been planning for an unknown amount of time. , he finally got a chance today!"

JiaAfter her mother finished speaking, she didn’t care about other people’s reactions. She just pulled Qingwen and asked, “How old are you?”

Qingwen blushed slightly and replied, “Old lady, you’re already eleven. ”

In fact, this was not the first time Jia Mu asked her age, but at this moment she could not bear to criticize the old lady for being forgetful.

Her eyes couldn't help but glance towards Jia Lian.

No wonder the nanny who just called her here is mysterious. It turns out that the old lady wants to give her away...

"It's only eleven, so...listen The mothers said that you are not only good-looking, but also very good at needlework. Those big maids can't compare with you? But is it true?"

Qingwen smiled, although she didn't dare to show off, but Everyone can see his confidence.

Jia Mu sighed again: "It's a pity that such a good girl was given to Lian Er."

Jia Lian chatted, knowing that Jia Mu was still prejudiced against him, because she laughed Said: "If my ancestor is really reluctant to let go, it's better to stay with him. My grandson just said that. There is no need for my ancestor to bear the pain and give up. Anyway, no one here dares to say that you are going back on your word..."

"Bah, you don't have to be clever in front of me. Since I told you, he will be yours from now on, but..."

Jia Mu looked at Wang Xifeng He glanced at it and said: "This girl has just entered the house not long ago and is not very old. I will keep it for you first and teach you two the rules. I will return it to you when you come back from Yangzhou this time.

But I have agreed that if you go to pick up your sister Lin this time, if you don’t do the job well or your sister is wronged on the way, it won’t be so easy to take this person back.”

No matter how good she looks, she is just a little girl, so Jia Mu is not reluctant to part with her.

If Jia Lian chose one of the three given to her, she would have nothing to say. But Jia Lian had a goal for a long time, which gave her the feeling that her things were being missed by her children and grandchildren. She felt a little unhappy and didn't want Jia Lian to have his way so happily.

Of course, the reason she said is also true. She really wants to help Jia Lian train and train people. By the way, she also wants Qingwen to stay by her side to gain more experience, so that she can live happily by Wang Xifeng's side in the future. some.

Jia Lian is happy to see Jia Mu’s decision come to fruition.

He was also worried just now that it would be inconvenient to take Qingwen away during this trip. If Qingwen was handed over to Wang Xifeng at this time, he was really worried that Wang Xifeng was using evil tricks.

Jia Mu’s decision just solved his worry.

As for the possibility of Jia Mu not returning the money...

I would like to think that Jia Mu, as a first-class Rongguo concubine, would be so respectful.Expensive people can't do anything to get rich by breaking their promises.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Qingwen, and found that the other party was also peeking at him. When their eyes met, she immediately ran away.

Jia Lian couldn't help but smile. He was also the first among the twelve golden hairpins in the Red Mansion. He was also the most beautiful maid in the Red Mansion. He had snatched it from Jia Baoyu.

This wave is really an unexpected surprise.
