When Ya Po saw that Ye Jintang had chosen Qiu'er who was a bit dazed, she couldn't help but speak.
"Girl, don't look at it anymore. There are so many beautiful girls, how can you choose the most mediocre one?"
"What I want is a little girl to serve by my side, not a noble girl who has no fingers to touch the beauty of love."
As he said this, Ye Jintang glanced at several other pretty girls. They were probably all noble girls who were taken care of at home. If there had not been a sudden change in the family, they would not have become slaves.
Such a girl will most likely not accept her fate, let alone serve others.
She, Ye Jintang, didn't have the patience to train them, so she chose Qiu'er, who looked like a little maid before.
She was a slave before, but now she has just changed her master, and there will be no trouble around her.
"Tuesday, your name sounds weird, I'll change your name."
"Everything is done according to the master's instructions."
Tuesday was not old but knew a lot. He stepped forward to salute Ye Jintang in a polite manner.
"Well, then you can call me Zhou Cong from now on."
"Thank you, Master, for the name."
"Qiu'er should change her name to Forsythia."
"Thank you, Master, for the name."
Forsythia also stepped forward and bowed politely.
After choosing the maid and the servant, Ye Jintang originally wanted to choose the steward and the cook.
At this moment, Zhou Cong took two steps forward and suddenly knelt down to Ye Jintang.
"Master, I have a favor to ask of you."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"The younger one also has a younger brother. I also ask the master to buy him as well. The younger one will definitely repay the master's kindness by working as a cow and a horse."
"Your biological brother?"
"no."
"Your former master?"
Zhou Cong nodded.
Ye Jintang raised his eyebrows slightly. Zhou Cong was not very old, but he was a protector.
"Master, I understand who is my real master, but my younger brother is not a talkative one. I am afraid that my younger brother will be disliked if he goes to another family."
"You do trust me."
Ye Jintang is so funny. Could it be that she has the word "good person" written on her face?
"How old is your brother?"
"11. Although he is young, his skills are very good. He can still look after the master's house and nursery without any problem."
"oh?"
Ye Jintang became interested in how capable an 11-year-old boy could be, and could even help her take care of her home and nursing home.
So she asked Ya Po to call Zhou Cong's younger brother Zhou Feng.
I saw that Zhou Feng was a little thin, with a baby face, red lips and white teeth, very cute.
"Come and show me two moves, and I'll see how good you are."
Zhou Feng didn't say anything or salute. He picked up a curved tree branch from the ground and gave Ye Jintang a very handsome sword show.
Even if Ye Jintang is an outsider, he can tell at a glance that Zhou Feng's swordsmanship is very powerful and he should have practiced it since childhood.
"Yes, then I will leave you as my guard."
"But I also want to change the name."
Zhou Feng's little face was tense, and he didn't say whether it was okay or not.
Ye Jintang was silent for a moment.
"Just call him Zhou Wuwei. I don't care what your previous status was. From today on, you are Zhou Wuwei and my guard."
"Um."
Zhou Wuwei responded quietly.
He was young and always had a stern face. The more Ye Jintang looked at him, the more he felt that Zhou Wuwei was very funny.
Although he is very scared at his young age, he still pretends to be calm. He is really a stubborn little boy.
When choosing a manager, Ye Jintang had a little bit of fun.
It was also at this time that she knew that a major case of embezzlement of military pay had occurred in the capital.
There were five officials whose homes were ransacked, including a general named Zhou.
In the end, Ye Jintang chose a childless Nanny Liu to help her manage the house.
She used to be the second steward of the front court in the house of a fourth-rank official in the capital. She was born unable to have children. She was married when she was young and suffered a lot. Later, she was abandoned. She just settled down to be a small steward and no longer thought about it. others.
Although Aunt Liu doesn't have much power, she is well-informed, and there is nothing about the back house outside that she doesn't know.
The cook chosen was a young woman. Her ancestor had served as an imperial cook and her cooking skills were very good. She used to work in the small kitchen of a favored concubine.
Seeing that Ye Jintang had left so many people behind, Ya Po smiled so hard that she couldn't see the eyes and said a lot of flattery.
"Girl, the total is 60 taels of silver."
Yapo brought several people's deeds of sale and a list.
It says that Forsythia is the cheapest, only 6 taels of silver, and Chef Wei is the most expensive, 15 taels of silver.
Ye Jintang sighed in his heart, he really had a skill, and no matter what situation he ended up in, he would be able to make a living.
Back at Jade Alley, Ye Jintang felt like she was going to be exhausted all morning.
"Aunt Wei, it's going to be noon soon, so you can show me your cooking skills."
"Yes, slave, I'm going to make lunch right now."
Ye Jintang had a casual snack and went back to the house to rest.
As for the people she bought back today, they were all handed over to Grandma Liu for placement. She also took a look at Grandma Liu's abilities.
If it's good, she'll stay. If things don't work, she doesn't want to stay around and cause trouble for herself.
Ye Jintang was used to being in a high position, so when she purchased her entourage, there was no pressure at all and all aspects were arranged properly.
After going back to the house and taking a nap, Luzhu came over to wake up Ye Jintang.
"Girl, lunch is ready."
"Um."
After taking a nap, a lot of fatigue dissipated from my body.
Ye Jintang murmured in his heart that her small body was too weak and she was exhausted from doing such a small thing.
When I return to Danyanghou Mansion in the future, I will have to lie down from exhaustion in the face of the intrigues in that mansion.
No, she has to train her body and bones in the future, she can't always be soft and weak.
Four dishes and one soup were placed in the small flower hall. Ye Jintang took a quick look and was very satisfied.
Each of the four dishes was delicious, delicious, and the bowl of soup was black-bone chicken soup with no oil at all.
Ye Jintang sat down and tasted a little of each dish. It tasted very good.
As expected, anyone who can work as a cook in a wealthy family has very good skills.
After lunch, Forsythia and Lvzhu cleaned up the dishes together, while Zhou Cong and Zhou Wuwei chopped firewood together in the yard.
Aunt Liu took the account book and took the two escorts to count the items in the warehouse and record them one by one.
Seeing the busy scene in the small courtyard, Ye Jintang was very comfortable leaning on the Arhat bed and eating cut watermelon.
This is the life she wants. So what if she is an orphan? As long as she has the skills and money, she will still live a comfortable life.
After the things in the yard were settled, Ye Jintang didn't dare to just lie down. She still had a bunch of family property to deal with.
In the afternoon, she had to go to a few shops to see how to make a move. She would also go to Zhuangzi tomorrow to have a look.
Thinking of this, Ye Jintang suddenly felt a headache.
She struggled for so many years in her previous life and finally managed to survive and start her wanton retirement life. But when she came here, she had to start from scratch again. She really didn't know what to complain about.
Ye Jintang, who was leaning on the Arhat bed and sighing, suddenly remembered the human skin mask he bought, so he took it out to see if it worked.
Follow the instructions given by escort Song and carefully apply it to your face.
I saw a half-grown boy in the bronze mirror looking at him slightly coldly.
Ye Jintang was surprised. She reached out and touched her cheek. There was nothing strange at all, just like her own skin.
"It's really magical. From now on, I will have another identity. Your name will be Zhou Qinglin."
However, there was no need to bring a human skin mask with him when he was going to his shop in the afternoon. Ye Jintang quickly took off the human skin mask again.
