Chapter 71 teaches
Qin nodded with a smile, and was a little more patient with Lin Yue. This child can still be taught. It's a pity that he is a good seedling. It must be different to teach him earlier.
Ren Yazi came in, bringing with him a dozen maids of various sizes and several middle-aged women.
Li Yu and Lin Yue sat together, not in a hurry to say anything.
"Greetings to the eldest lady, these girls are still doing their duty today, and those women can also use them."
Ren Yazi saluted and laughed along with him.
"Yu'er, you pick first."
The Qin family really took care of Lin Yue. She probably wouldn't pick someone. She was afraid of making a fool of herself and hurt the child's self-esteem. Let her own girl pick first, and you can do whatever you want.
"If you know how to embroider and think you are good at it, take a step forward."
Li Yu stood up and began to pick, walked back and forth to observe the girl and wife.
Many girls have stood up. Female celebrities are a must for girls. Farm girls may not be worse than Miss Qianjin. People rely on this skill to make money and supplement their families.
Li Yu nodded.
"Those who can read can write their own names, and those who can read the Three-Character Classic stand out."
Li Yu raised the bar again.
Now there are only three or five girls left, and many girls can't read at all.
"Those who have other specialties stand up, those who have worked as maids in other people's homes stand up..."
Lin Yue observed carefully, kept Li Yu's request in mind, and slowly figured out the way to do it.
This time there are three more girls and two more women.
Li Yu stepped forward and asked the two women, "What do you all know? Tell me, and the others will also talk about it."
"The old slave can cook, and he can meet people by making noodles, and he can make pickles and so on."
"The old slave knows how to make dim sum. It has always been on the face case. I used to work in a shop."
"The old slave knows how to do farming. She used to be the woman in charge of the family. Later, she was repaid by the master's family after the war. But my relatives are gone, and there is only one girl left. The one in the red dress is my daughter. My mother and I want to be together again." Together."
The woman even pointed to the girl standing in the front.
"So you are a mother and daughter, and the rest of the family also suffered?"
Li Yu glanced at the girl. The girl in the red dress lowered her head and her eye circles were all red.
"Back to the girl, the man and son died when we ran away, and we were the only ones left. I used to be the woman in charge of the inner courtyard and the farm. If you need me, I beg you to keep us. You can also I see, the girl is getting older, I can't protect the child as an old woman, if you despise me for being vulgar, please keep the girl, at least let the clean live..."
The mother-in-law fell to her knees with a puff, and cried bitterly on the ground.
Li Yu's claws are numb. She is not afraid of being tough, but afraid of being betrayed.
"What is it that makes you cry."
Ren Yazi glanced at Qin, and quickly scolded Qin when he saw nothing.
"Get up and talk, don't cry, the world is in chaos now, it's not your family that's suffering, it's up to my elders to decide whether to keep you or not."
Lin Yue knew that Li Yu's shortcoming was soft-heartedness, so she immediately stood up and spoke out.
"Yes, it's the old slave's fault."
Lin Yue asked again, "You know how to farm in Zhuangzi."
"I used to manage it with men. I also worked as a kitchen steward in the inner courtyard. Later, my master transferred us husband and wife to manage the farm because of lack of manpower. My daughter has always been the second-class maid in front of the mistress."
The mother-in-law bowed her head and answered.
Lin Yue leaned over to snuggle up to Qin Shi, and whispered something in her ear.
"Do you want a wife?"
"Auntie, my aunt said that she would give me property so that I can learn to take care of it. I thought I should have someone of my own, and it's not good to have people who take care of the family."
Lin Yue also became clearer.
"That's right, don't worry."
Qin patted her hand, and Lin Yue saluted before sitting back.
"My child has begged for your mercy. If you want to stay, it's fine. You have a death contract. The girl must learn the rules. You mother and daughter may not work together. You must learn etiquette and abide by the rules in the future."
"Yes, the slave is willing, as long as we mother and daughter stay, I am willing to do anything, I can do dirty work."
This made Lin Yue feel pity.
"Okay, you two stand aside."
Li Yu waved his hand.
The mother-in-law got up happily, and pulled her daughter to stand aside.
Mother and daughter had obvious expressions of joy and rejoicing on their faces.
"Extend your hand and let me see."
Li Yu made a sound.
All the girls stretched out their hands. This is to see whether the hands are rough and whether they have nails. The hands can see many things.
The hands of a bitter child are rough, and it is impossible for a working hand to have thin skin and tender flesh.
Lin Yue figured it out as soon as she turned her head. She saw a girl with fingernails, and her hands were relatively delicate. It didn't look like working hands.
Li Yu quickly ordered a few girls to stand up.
"That's all, the two wives are also staying."
"yes."
"Go to the account and settle the money."
Qin smiled and nodded, the people Yu'er chose were very good.
"Take it down to wash, and learn the rules for a month first."
"yes."
The nanny led the people down, not just buying them for use, because people outside have lice, they have to take a shower and wash their hair first to learn the rules, and after they have learned it, they first do the work of sweeping and observing, and then they can step into the yard step by step. I can get close to the girl.
"Yu'er, why didn't you want that delicate hand just now?"
"Do you think she is similar to that mother and daughter?"
Li Yu smiled at her.
"I guess it's pampered, it should be serving people well, it doesn't look like a hand that works hard."
"You guessed it right, but you were far away just now, and she still has a scent on her body, which smells like powder. I don't like her, and her eyes are very arrogant. I choose the girl to serve, not the aunt. Who is the master?"
Li Yu raised his jaw, very stubborn.
"Oh, so there are so many ways."
Before, Li Yu could understand the intention of picking people, but he was a little doubtful about the last one, and now he understands it.
"The unyielding slaves were dismissed as soon as possible, so it doesn't take much effort."
Li Yu waved his hand.
"The slave bullies the master, and the slave is the master of the master."
Lin Yue added a sentence, because she wanted to understand.
"That's right, they're all mixed up to the point of being bought and sold. Where's the arrogance? If you miss an innocent family, you can only go to a brothel."
Qin sneered.
Why did you keep the mother and daughter, the heart of being a mother, even though she is a slave, she also hopes that her daughter will live a clean life, if she misses this opportunity, I don’t know where Ren Yazi will sell them.
"That old woman is very shrewd."
Lin Yue nodded slightly and everything went smoothly.
"Isn't it true, do you really want that woman?"
"My aunt told me to learn how to be a housekeeper. I thought that I must have someone in front of me, so I fell in love with that woman."
Lin Yue said it generously.
"The idea is right, people still need to learn the rules, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold back, let my aunt help you adjust it for a while."
"Thank you, auntie, that's what I mean too. I would like to ask you to teach the younger generation."
Lin Yue blushed and pleaded.
"I'll do it even if you don't tell me. How about it? It's not appropriate for someone to give it to you. I'm afraid you will be cheated. When your aunt left, she asked me to teach you. You just put your heart into it."
"Yes, Aunt Xie loves me."
Lin Yue's confidant changed her words.
