My Entire Family's Gone Haywire!

Chapter 642

642 There are indeed a lot of them

it took quite a long time to choose a maidservant.

seeing that madam li’s capable helpers had all come, third aunt gu simply asked them to choose a group for herself, and she would choose from them.

Big yellow and little green asked granny Huang to call in the people in batches. According to their age, eleven people would enter in each batch.

The first batch of people who came in were all girls between the ages of ten and thirteen.

Big yellow and little green were very experienced. They asked each of them where they came from, whether they had worked in other manors, and what kind of work they had done.

They didn’t just ask. As they answered, the two of them also carefully observed the servant girls ‘expressions, their clothes, and their hands.

Six people from the first batch stayed and stood aside.

the second to the seventh batches were all girls between the ages of fourteen to eighteen.

With the same standard, thirty-nine were left after the questions were asked.

Da Huang and Xiao Lu knew that the Gu family wanted to buy maids not only to serve others, but also to help the girls. Therefore, some of the conditions of being servants at home were more relaxed, and some of the other conditions were more.

The eighth and ninth batches were made up of people aged 19 to 30. All of them were already working in other people’s residences. They had been sold because they had offended someone or because the main family had committed a crime.

Big yellow and little green didn’t want any of the criminals who had offended them and were sold. Instead, they directly called out to the criminals and asked them about them in detail.

The middle-aged woman’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. When she saw Madam Li’s right-hand man, she knew that today’s matter would not be successful. These two were simply fiery eyes. The few whose tusks they couldn’t get rid of were still unable to get rid of them here.

Cai Xiaolian knew from old woman Huang’s expression that big yellow and little Lu were right. There were many ways to deal with the Yamen in the prefecture!

The last group consisted of women over thirty.

Da Huang and Xiao Lu picked a person who was in charge of third aunt’s meals. This person used to serve the Mistress of the main family during her pregnancy, but the main family was in trouble. Her husband and son died because they were involved, leaving her all alone. If third aunt treated her well, she might be able to help.

Da Huang and Xiao Lu gave third aunt a reminder after the selected people had left.

This Guo family’s scholar was not old, only in his early twenties. He had a high chance of passing the imperial examination or going further. If Madam Gu cultivated her own people well, in the future, whether it was in terms of getting along with her mother-in-law and aunts, or in terms of contact with the madams in the officialdom, they would be of help.

Third aunt Gu was a carefree person. After hearing big yellow and little Green’s words, she quickly thanked them and took out some silver for them.

The two of them didn’t accept it, saying that these were all things that Madam had instructed them to do, and that third aunt Gu could only give this gratitude to Madam li.

She thought that she would embroider an embroidery for Madam li when the time came. She was good at embroider work, and there was no fun in raising a baby anyway.

Out of the 110 people, big yellow and little green chose 60 of them. They paid the silver, wrote a receipt, and handed the Indenture to Cai Xiaolian. Then, granny Huang left with the people who were not chosen.

Out of the sixty, third aunt Gu chose five who were above nineteen years old. She herself was only twenty-four years old, and she did not want to be surrounded by young girls.

He would leave the rest to Cai Xiaolian. He would also let Cai Xiaolian handle the Indenture that he had given her when she went to the Yamen to re-establish her Indenture. Or, he could also leave it to Gu shouxin and his third uncle.

Gu shouxin and his third uncle were chatting in the room next door. When they heard no movement here, they came over and took the Indenture to the Yamen to re-process it.
