Jun's sister-in-law, Xia Xiaodong, remembered that she had agreed before to let her go there together and pick some new people to handle.
The New Year is a sad time for many people.
All accounts and debts must be settled before the end of the year.
There are many who have to sell their children, daughters or even their own at this time.
Many families have a lot of people coming and going to socialize during the Chinese New Year, and they need more manpower.
Therefore, this is the spring of human teeth, the peak season for buying and selling people.
Like the Lu family, of course they don't have to add more talents to make it work, but an experienced wife like Sister-in-law Jun will not let go of such a good opportunity.
When Xia Xiaodong arrived, he was still shocked by the scene.
There are too many people here.
The courtyard was lined up in rows and columns, filled with people.
At a rough estimate, there were more than two hundred people.
These are just the candidates for the maids and wives of the inner court.
These people had obviously prepared carefully.
Their clothes, old or new, were all clean and neatly washed and neatly dressed.
Some even had silver hairpins on them.
They didn't look like people who had to sell themselves.
However, after meeting people like Huang Er, Xia Xiaodong had a more intuitive impression of the servants.
Even those little people in the Lu family who couldn't stand up on the stage can still use chicken feathers as arrows to show their power outside, so there are many people who are willing to give up their freedom and become slaves.
Generally speaking, aristocratic families have relatively high requirements for their slaves, because if the slaves do bad things outside, the final debt may be implicated in the master's head, and he will be accused of indulging the slaves to commit crimes, and sometimes they may even injure their muscles.
Move your bones and cause big trouble.
Therefore, there are some evil servants, but not too many.
Of course, because of the great power, most things that come and go in small ways will not cause much trouble in the end.
For example, the Lu family, who are relatives, have to take care of the queen's face, and naturally have more restraints on their servants.
The person who can do the Lu family's business is naturally an experienced top nanny.
She is a middle-aged woman in her forties, with a tight bun on her head and two shining gold hairpins.
Going up there feels energetic and neat.
Seeing Xia Xiaodong come in, Sister-in-law Jun quickly waved her over and said with a smile: "Good sister, come quickly.
I didn't expect that there are more people this year than in previous years.
It's time to pick carefully."
Then she pointed to the woman and said: "This is Mrs.
Yan, her family is a dental shop in Viking."
The so-called "Lingtie Yaxing" refers to official teeth.
Not only is the business of buying and selling people legal and compliant, but there are also people who are often sold by officials.
Those who were standing waiting came one by one to be selected following Mrs.
Yan's instructions.
There are rules for selecting people.
Every group that comes over will kneel down and kowtow in unison.
After standing up, they will perform a daily blessing ceremony and say hello one by one.
This is to show the general manners, etiquette and voice, and then they will Stand up straight, raise your head and hold your chest up, letting you look and touch.
Xia Xiaodong took a look and found that the batches were divided completely according to their uses.
The first few batches that came over all had plain heads and straight faces, nothing particularly outstanding, but they all knew a few words and could settle accounts.
This is of course a matter of looking at the dishes and catering to Sister-in-law Jun's needs first.
Sure enough, Xia Xiaodong didn't want any of them.
After asking a few questions, Sister-in-law Jun picked three.
The next batch of people who came over were all more beautiful than the other, and each had their own characteristics.

They were probably all candidates for marriage and cannon fodder for house fights.
Mrs.
Yan pulled the one with the head over.
The girl was caught off guard and staggered.
She was immediately glared at by Mrs.
Yan's sharp eyes.
She was so frightened that she immediately stood up straight and did not dare to move. .
These people must have been taught not to speak unless asked.
The girl's eyes were filled with water, and her face was pink with sadness.
Although she didn't speak, she looked like she was still eager to talk.
At first glance, she was a person with a story.
"This is the sixth lady of Su Zhizhou's family in Lu'er Prefecture."
Mrs.
Yan introduced: "Her father was convicted of embezzlement last month and was gone.
The recovery of the stolen goods was not enough, so the family members sold them together.
She was born well, and she could read and write.
Reciting two lines of poetry, I thought that it might be useful for a family like yours.
After all, I was once an official lady.
It would be better for me to be a legitimate daughter than to be sold to a land of romance and ruin my reputation. ” Mrs.
Yan spoke quickly and crisply, finishing a long sentence in one breath.
He only pushed the former Miss Su Liu forward to take a look.
Sister-in-law Jun glanced at it, then turned to ask Xia Xiaodong: "Some people like to use girls like this as dowries, do you want me, sister?"
One of the important purposes of a dowry maid is to marry the uncle.
It would be easy for someone so beautiful and talented to fall in my uncle's eyes.
And Su Liu, an orphan girl with almost no one at home, can figure it out if she has some tricks.
Xia Xiaodong shook his head.
What she wants is something that can work and be useful, so if a pretty young lady comes, that won't be a problem for her.
Sister-in-law Jun was a little surprised when she saw her shaking her head.
Just as she was about to look at someone else, she saw Lu Yunfang coming over with a maid on his back.
Before my sister-in-law got married, her status in the family was still very important, at least she could apply eye drops in front of her mother-in-law.
Sister-in-law Jun quickly called Lu Yunfang.
Although it was obvious that he was coming, calling him was also a welcome.
"Mom asked me to come over and pick two people."
Lu Yunfang explained in a thin voice, then nodded to Xia Xiaodong and said, "Hello, sister Xiaodong."
Quite gentle and polite.
There is no way to tell that the reason why Xia Xiaodong is sitting here picking people today is because she made trouble before and poached people from Mo Xiangyuan.
"Hello, sister Yunfang."
Although Xia Xiaodong was in a bad mood, after walking around for a while, he felt a lot better.
He did everything right, and the corners of his mouth were almost open.
It’s eight teeth.
A few people exchanged pleasantries, and Mrs.
Yan on the side also greeted Lu Yunfang, and immediately introduced the former Miss Su Liu again with sharp eyes and tongue.
One of the basic skills of being a Yapo is to know the internal conditions of each major house.
So Mrs.
Yan knew that Lu Yunfang was getting married soon.

Although she didn't say it explicitly when she came this time, she was probably going to pick a maid as a dowry.
A girl's dowry maid not only has a higher chance of being promoted to a bride-in-law, but she is also more respectable than the other maids.
Unless the relationship between husband and wife is extremely bad, the uncle's family will always treat the dowry person for the sake of the girl's face.
Better, so dowry work has always been a popular position.
Lu Yunfang was obviously moved by Mrs.
Yan.
She looked at Miss Su Liu again and again, and almost opened her mouth to check her teeth.
She looked at Miss Su Liu, whose cheeks turned red because of the humiliation, and looked like she felt pity for her.
"Sister-in-law and sister Xiaodong don't want it."
Lu Yunfang did not directly ask for it, but still gave in humbly.
"There are already six people in your brother's house."
Sister-in-law Jun said with a smile: "I don't care if there are more people, I'm just afraid that your brother's body won't be able to bear it."
Lu Yunfang blushed unconsciously and turned to look at Xia Xiaodong.
"I don't need it either."
Xia Xiaodong smiled and said, "Sister, just pick whatever you want
