Qian Fengping sat in the main seat, looking at the girls one by one with scrutiny.

Some were afraid and dodged, while others saluted with openness. She coughed and said, "Anmei, you choose first."

There's no way, she has never done this before, one should not be so arrogant.

It would be better to let Anmei screen them first and then she can choose.

"Yes, Second Madam." Anmei came out from behind Fang Nanzhi, bowed, and then looked at the girls.

"Put your hands out," she said coldly.

The little girls followed suit, and Anmei walked past them one by one.

Those who were sent to be maids in wealthy families had their hands cleaned thoroughly so there wouldn't be any dust under their nails.

But some things can still be seen, such as cocoons.

After reading it, she nodded slightly: "What do you know?"

The little girls looked at each other, and finally the maid who broke the master's vase spoke first.

"My lady, I can embroider and comb hair."

"I, your servant, can read and read account books. I used to help my master manage the account books." Another maid who was implicated in the exile of her master's family lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.

An Mei looked more closely.

As she manages the account books for her master, she is definitely a trusted maid.

Why is my trusted maid being so timid?

Moreover, even if the master's family is in trouble, he will not let go of such a trusted maid easily.

Either follow the exile, or...

"Oh?"

Anmei frowned.

The broker stepped forward tactfully and said, "Young lady, this girl used to be from the Chen family in Yiyang Prefecture. She's from the same clan as the Chen family, within three generations, but they're not close. She was implicated and exiled."

"This girl was very loyal. She initially followed her master into exile, but later suffered some hardships along the way. Before her master died, he asked someone to find a way to sell her back, saving her from exile..."

The dentist's hint was obvious.

What kind of suffering did women endure during their exile? Besides starvation and beatings, they were also... humiliated.

After being sent to the pawnshop, it was transported like goods several times and eventually ended up in the capital.

This is also the reason why the maid's personality has changed now.

"But don't worry, the backgrounds of those who leave our pawn shop are all clear, and there will be no subsequent trouble."

The dentist quickly added.

Anmei nodded.

Fang Nanzhi thought about it. Prime Minister Chen? She seemed to have read in a book that not long after the current emperor ascended the throne, the treacherous Prime Minister Chen Zijun was executed for treason and his entire family was exiled.

"I know a little bit about cooking, especially making some snacks."

"I can make a fire..."

"I, I can, I can curse!" A little girl held it in for a long time, her face flushed red.

She was born in a farming family. Her mother died early and her father married a stepmother. Her stepmother beat her every day and disliked her because she ate more and worked less.

Her father didn't care about her and she couldn't beat her stepmother, so she just learned to curse from the aunts in the village. Before long, she became very good at talking.

When her stepmother hit her, she cursed back, and then was beaten even harder, but her stepmother was also very angry.

Later, her stepmother became pregnant and said she was carrying a little brother, and that there would be one more mouth to feed at home. Her father said he couldn't afford to support so many people, so he sold her.

In fact, she can also farm, clean the yard, and wash clothes. But these two things don't seem to be very useful for a wealthy family?

"Come on, let me curse you!"

Fang Tong became interested.

Fang Nanzhi also turned to look at her.

The girl was stunned. Who was she scolding for no reason? But she was not stupid. She knew that her chance to show off had come.

His eyes swept across the yard and fell on the broker.

"You have a pointed face, crooked lips and slanted eyes, like a monkey with its brain stuck in a door. Did your parents have a difficult birth? They probably forgot to cut your umbilical cord. You can't live without your mother at this age."

"hiss!"

Dirty enough! Vicious enough!

The dentist's face turned green. He was just waiting. Haha, when he got back, if he didn't whip this girl, he would be considered a coward!

After the girl finished scolding, she lowered her head arrogantly and cowardly. It was not without reason that she chose the toothman.

This guy always bullies them, assigns them all kinds of work, but doesn't give them enough to eat.

Once she ate half an extra steamed bun and was locked up and beaten for two days.

"I think this is a good idea, my girl. Now that you've arrived in the capital, you're also a daughter of an official family. You can't just roll up your sleeves and scold or hit people. You need a mouth and hands substitute."

"As for the hand replacement, Anmei is fine, as for the mouth replacement, hehe."

Fang Tong felt that with these two maids around, his daughter would definitely not be bullied.

Butler Yao listened quietly.

Who wouldn't choose a maid who is neatly dressed, smart, and capable? She should be able to give her master some advice occasionally.

But the second master of his family wanted to be the tiger's accomplice. The young lady was the tiger, the maid was the accomplice, and then they were going to run rampant in the capital?

Butler Yao shook his head, shaking off the rebellious thoughts in his mind.

"Well, that's good." Qian Fengping also nodded.

Finally, Anmei selected six people, who she saw were people who didn't have too many ulterior motives and had some useful abilities.

All that’s left is for Qian Fengping to choose. At this time, she just needs to choose the one she likes.

Qian Fengping thought about it and realized that the only ones in the family who needed a personal maid were her and Zhizhi.

Just pick three people.

She chose someone who could do embroidery, someone who was timid but good at accounting, and someone who could curse.

The first two were there to help her, and the one at the back was there to protect her.

"Greetings, Madam, Master, and Miss!" The three of them saluted in unison.

If the broker sees this and knows about it, then all the scolding today will be in vain.

After the maids are selected, they become servants.

Fang Yin just needs to find a servant to take care of his trivial matters, lead his horse and hold the whip. As for the rest, Bai Wu and the others are there.

Find an honest and obedient one and a smart and obedient one for Fang Tong.

Well, that’s right, the main thing is to be obedient.

Fang Tong has enough ideas, and it would be great if someone could cooperate with him.

Qin Yan needed a servant and a guard by his side.

The servant boy needs to be able to read and write, and be calm, while the guard needs to be good at martial arts.

But in the end, they only found suitable servants and guards...which are also scarce talents in the pawnshop.

Qian Fengping didn't even pick out the guards in the mansion.

None of them could withstand Anmei's ten or so moves. Alas, this is not easy to deal with. Let it go for now. It is better to have nothing than to have something less than what is needed.

However, the agent promised that if there are retired veterans in the agency or escorts who sell themselves, he will notify your family immediately.

A total of eight people were selected.

Qian Fengping picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The eight people were a little nervous.

"Now that you have entered our Fang family, you should forget everything that happened before and give you a new name."

This is both a reminder and a threat.

For example, the deep relationship between a maid and her former master is quite touching in the eyes of passers-by.

But if you become your own maid, and are in Cao's camp but your heart is with Han, that would be disgusting.

Of course, Qian Fengping didn't ask them to completely forget the past. They could reminisce about it occasionally and treat it as an old friend, but they should know clearly who they should be loyal to now.

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.

Qian Fengping was quite satisfied and looked at her daughter.

As for naming, leave it to someone who reads a lot.

Fang Nanzhi thought for a moment: "Jade beads, jade rings, jade bracelets."

"Always safe, always noble, always blessed, always happy."

"Vulgar!" Fang Tong commented.

Then he was glared at by his wife and changed his words: "Vulgar and elegant, hehe."
