Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu’s mouth twitched. What on earth was going on with this family?
Xie Yan smiled when he saw this: “Well, I think the people Little Jiu has picked are not bad, let him pick the rest!” He looked at the twelve people next to him and said to Feng Jiu: “There are twelve here, so pick eight more to make up twenty people.”
As soon as he had spoken, he told the steward to change another batch of slaves. However in addition to young n and won, there were also old n in this batch of slaves. Therefore, there was a real mixture of slaves in this batch, and so of those slaves also had higher cultivation bases.
Feng Jiu sighed softly. She knew that the beautiful woman was probably trying to test her, or perhaps see what kind of person she was. Although she could pretend to be stunned and pick randomly, she didn’t do so.
Since she was going to be staying in their house for a while, she knew that it was useless to hide her clumsiness all the ti. What’s more, her throat would be fine a few days later and she would have to speak! She couldn’t possibly pretend to be dumb and say nothing all the ti.
Therefore, after the steward changed the batch of people, she walked past them and looked at them one by one. Four won and four n were finally selected from fifty people.
Two of the four won were around sixteen or seventeen years old, and their appearance seed proper. She had picked them for the beautiful woman. The other two were in their thirties and forties. She had inquired earlier and these two were going to be the cooks in the kitchen.
As for the other four n, one was about the sa age as Xie Yutang and going to be his servant boy. The other two were around fifteen or sixteen years old and would be errand boys. The last person was a young man.
The strength of this person was not the highest amongst those people, but between his eyebrows exuded integrity. She was going to use this person as a steward for them, and she felt that this person had the ability.
After the final selection, she wrote all the arrangents down on paper for the beautiful woman to see. Since she wanted to test her ability, naturally, she had to show it. Besides, the ability to employ people was easy for her.
When the couple saw Feng Jiu’s arrangents, their hearts moved slightly. The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, and finally, the beautiful woman said: “Well, we will take these!”
“Go to the carriage to wait for and I will take care of the rest.” Xie Yan smiled. After he had spoken to them, he told the steward to bring those people forward and handle the handover.
“Mother, are the people Little Jiu picked all very good?” Xie Shisi asked, holding her arm. Even Xie Yutang at the side pricked up his ears and listened.
Feng Jiu sat outside the carriage and smiled when she heard their words.
In the carriage, the beautiful woman smiled softly: “Yes, Little Jiu’s judgent is very good, everyone she picked is suitable.”
“Why don’t I see that he has good judgent?” Xie Yutang snorted softly, but he agreed in his heart. When those girls looked at him seductively, he wanted to punch their eyes till they swelled up. Luckily those people hadn’t been picked.
The beautiful woman smiled and didn’t say much, she just said: “We will go to the clothing store later and get so clothes made for everyone in the house.”
Upon hearing this, Xie Yutang nodded in agreent: “Mother, we should do that. Look at how old Little Jiu’s clothes are, and he doesn’t have any new clothes to replace them. If he follows in the future, others might even mistake him for a beggar that’s appeared out of nowhere!”
