www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!

The small courtyard behind Youning Hall was very lively early in the morning.

A dozen little maids wearing blue dresses and hairdos stood in a row in an orderly manner.

In front of them was a stewardess in her forties, wearing a rust-colored dark-patterned double-breasted jacket, with a bun on her head, and a plump, round face with thin lips pursed tightly. , looking a little unsmiling.

The little maids did not dare to look directly at the stewardess, and all of them lowered their eyebrows.

The steward walked from one end to the other, looked at the little maids, and said with some satisfaction: "This time there are more than twenty girls, and only fifteen of you are left to be taught. ”

The steward continued: "The master will come to pick people later, so be smart. Where you can go depends on your own luck."

The little maids only agreed, with faces showing anxiety, expectation, nervousness, and confusion.

The palace would add new slaves in March and April every year. They usually selected people from among the children born in the family. If there were not enough people, they would buy some from outside. They came to the house a month ago, and were trained by Aunt Ge, who was responsible for training the maids, for a month. A few unqualified ones were eliminated, and now they are the only ones left.

Just waiting for the master to choose a queen today, their future fate is destined. If they are lucky, they can serve the master; if they are not lucky, they can only go to the garden to sweep, or go to the washing room or sewing room. , kitchen, etc.

At this moment, a maid in a blue dress ran over quickly, walked up to Grandma Ge, and said, "Grandma Ge, the Crown Princess and the eldest lady are almost at Youning Hall."

One sentence made the atmosphere in the courtyard freeze. The little maids clenched their fists secretly. The next step was the moment that decided their fate.

After Granny Ge glanced at the little maids with a sharp look, she took them to the Youning Hall ahead.

At the door of the hall, Grandma Ge first asked a maid who was guarding under the eaves to go in and report to Nangong Yue, and then she respectfully led the little maids in.

"I have met the Crown Princess, young lady." Mother Ge hurriedly bowed to Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei.

The little maids knelt down a foot behind her. These maids were only seven or eight years old, no more than ten years old at most. They were still of an unstable age. Several little maids were sizing them up secretly. Two masters.

Xiao Fei seemed to be aware of it and looked towards the little maids kneeling on the ground. Several little girls who had been peeking nervously lowered their eyes immediately. Xiao Fei frowned slightly and glanced at them quickly.

Mother Ge reported tactfully: "Prince Princess, this time we have selected fifteen little girls, please take a look." After saying that, she respectfully presented a list and handed it to Baihui's hands.

As soon as she finished speaking, the little maid who was guarding the door came in and said, "His Royal Concubine, Miss Platycodon is here."

Platycodon is the eldest maid in Zhennan Wang's study, and the dozen or so little maids kneeling on the ground also know it. After hearing this, they all secretly speculated: Could it be that the prince also wants to select a maid?

Thinking of this, the eyes of several little maids shone brightly, and they moved slightly unconsciously.

Quie'er and Huamei on the side have been observing the expressions and behaviors of the little maids. They took everything in their eyes and secretly exchanged a look, knowing what they were doing.

After a while, Platycodon grandiflorum, wearing a pink-blue willow branch pattern jacket, came. After curtsying and saluting, he said respectfully: "Prince Concubine, the prince ordered his servant to come over and deliver the message. The prince said that Aunt Mei is pregnant now." She is pregnant and needs more manpower in the yard, so she also asked the imperial concubine to pick out two maids for Aunt Mei to send."

Nangong Yue held up the tea cup and sipped the hot tea, hiding the subtle changes in her expression with the tea cup. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, showing a trace of interest.

Since it was the order of King Zhennan, it was not against the rules to call two more maids, so Nangong Yue nodded slightly.

She put down the tea cup in her hand, pointed to the little maids on the right, and ordered: "The four of you follow the platycodon girl and let your father take a look." Nangong Yue smiled faintly and said, Emphasize the volume of certain two words in a pointed way.

The four little maids responded with sincerity and fear, thinking blankly: I don’t know if this would be a blessing or a curse if it caught Aunt Mei’s eyes...

Jiejie is also a smart person. With a flash of his eyes, he respectfully thanked Nangong Yue, and then took the little maids to King Zhennan's outer study.

For Nangong Yue, this was just a trivial matter, and she put it down in an instant, leaving no trace of the wind.

Baihui handed back the list that Aunt Ge gave her just now and said, "Aunt Ge, please circle the names of the four maids just now."

Nanny Ge responded, walked to the side of the case, took the pen handed by a maid in green, circled four names, then presented the list again, and asked for instructions: "Prince Concubine, each of you The hospital needs to hire more people, how do you think this should be allocated?"

Nangong Yue glanced at the list hastily and said thoughtfully: "The eldest maids around the eldest, third and fourth maidens are almost reaching their age. This time, we will choose a few younger maids for them. It’s better than being a substitute for two years.”

The maids who serve closely to the girl's family must firstly be carefully trained, and secondly, observe the parallelism and behavior. If they are not prepared in advance, when the eldest maid is about to get married, she will inevitably be in a hurry.

Moreover, the girls in the palace are quite old. Most of the maids selected for them this time will be married with them, so they need to be trained even more.

Baihui responded and asked the maids to stand up and divide into two groups. One side was for those seven or eight years old, and the other side was for those over nine years old.

After hearing what Nangong Yue said just now, Xiao Fei showed a thoughtful expression on her face and couldn't help but look at Taoyao and Baizhou behind her. Taoyao is the same age as herself and still has a few years left, but Bai Zhou is almost seventeen years old, and she should think about Bai Zhou. Xiao Fei lowered her eyes and thought.

Nangong Yue saw Xiao Fei lowering her eyes and thinking, and suggested: "Sister Fei, come and see which ones you like?"

Xiao Fei was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in agreement solemnly.

My sister-in-law said that after she gets married in the future, even if she doesn't get married, she will still take care of her own yard.

Selecting servants is the first step in managing the inner court.

Xiao Fei carefully looked at the seven or eight-year-old little maids, looking from the far right to the left. She remembered that the one on the far right turned her eyes around as soon as she entered the hall, and secretly glanced around. She was too temperamental. Too frivolous.

The second one behaved well, keeping her eyes straight, and her hands...

Xiao Fei's eyes paused for a moment on the **** of the little girl's right hand, and the thimble was worn out. This girl seemed to be good at needlework.

The third one is handsome and elegant, but has delicate hands...

The fourth...

Xiao Fei always does things in a leisurely and unhurried manner, even when picking out maids. In the blink of an eye, a cup of tea passed by.

Seeing that Xiao Fei remained silent, Grandma Ge felt a little nervous. The Crown Princess always followed the rules and had clear rewards and punishments. Once you figured out the Crown Princess's temperament, it was not difficult to get her way. But the big girl is different. She often plays her cards unconventionally, leaving people confused and unable to figure out what to do. All they can do is respect and avoid them.

At this time, Xiao Fei finally raised her hand and nodded at two of the little maids.

Grandma Ge secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This most difficult stage was finally over. However, the eldest girl's vision was indeed a bit strange. Grandma Ge couldn't help but take another look at the two maids Xiao Fei had chosen. One of them was a child of a royal family and knew everything about it. It was said that she was good at needlework, while the other was dark and black. Fatty, named Hei Niu, was purchased from outside this time. If this girl hadn't been strong and knew the rules, Grandma Ge would have brushed her off long ago.

Originally, Granny Ge planned that after the masters selected the maids, the black girl would work in the warehouse as a cleaning maid, and she could also help move heavy objects. She didn't expect that she would be noticed by the older girl.

The big girl is really not a stickler for logic!

Nanny Ge was feeling sad in her heart, but Nangong Yue had a smile in her eyes, a little relieved.

Even if you can’t find the most suitable person to serve in a girl’s yard, you have to choose an honest one. If you choose someone with a frivolous mind, if you don’t do it well, you will cause trouble. Master's reputation...

Judging from today, Sister Fei is ready to start her apprenticeship. The two maids she picked seem to be honest. One is good at needlework, and the other can learn some skills and become a female guard. When Sister Fei gets married in the future, , I don’t have to worry about her anymore.

The Youning Hall was busy all morning before it returned to peace, and the little maids also had their own places to go.

In the next two days, the servants in the palace made a lot of noise due to the influx of fresh blood. But for the masters, the days were still the same as before, and only a few days passed. The spring hunting is still a bit exciting.

In the morning two days later, after Nangong Yue finished handling the trivial matters, she suddenly became excited when she looked at the two pots of peonies in the room.

I asked the maid to take the painting tools and go to the pavilion in the backyard.

From the angle of the pavilion, you can just see the window of the small study. The pot of "red and white" is on the flower table by the window. The flowers and branches leaning out of the window tremble slightly in the breeze, and are bright and beautiful. There is a hint of half-covering one's face while holding a pipa.

Nangong Yue curled her lips and smiled, her eyes shining like gems with a moving light.

This angle is not bad. If A Yi is leaning against the window and reading a book, wouldn’t it mean that a person is more delicate than a flower?

Thinking about it, Nangong Yue’s smile deepened.

Huamei and Ying'er, who were waiting on the side, secretly exchanged a look. They felt that the princess's eyes were a bit strange. How come it was a bit like the **** in the drama seeing a peerless beauty? Are they thinking too much?

At this time, Nangong Yue said with a smile: "Lay out the paper, wait for the pen and ink, I want to draw."

She painted the peonies first, and then called Ayi to pose next time.

Thinking about it, Nangong Yue started painting with enthusiasm, tracing, outlining, filling in, boneless, splashing ink...

After burning the incense, she painted a "red and white flower" and added some branches and leaves freely. A burst of shouts mixed with hurried steps came from afar: "Your Majesty, Concubine! Crown Princess..."

Thrush and Ying'er followed the sound and saw Magpie in a blue dress running over in a hurry, panting.

Seeing Baihui frowning and looking at him, Queer remembered his manners, stuck out his tongue in confusion, and became respectful and decent in his behavior.

Nangong Yue simply put away her pen and looked at the delicate peony in her pen with satisfaction.

Quie'er adjusted her breathing, walked quickly outside the pavilion, knelt down and said: "Prince Concubine, something happened over there with Aunt Mei, I saw Hong just now..."

This news caused silence in the pavilion.

Nangong Yue put the paintbrush in her hand into the brush washer. The ink fainted from the tip of the pen, and the originally clear water immediately turned turbid.

After fussing over trivial matters, Aunt Mei finally made her second move.

Interesting.

Quie'er continued: "Two days ago, the prince picked two of the four little maids to give to Aunt Mei. One of them had a sweet mouth and cleverness that made Aunt Mei like it, so he gave her a name. Mingzhu. Aunt Mei said that Mingzhu looked like her sister. She fell in love with her as soon as she saw her. She immediately promoted Mingzhu to the position of second-class maid. She also let her serve in the house and gave her clothes and jewelry. Originally, Mingzhu was In the past few days, people have been saying that Mingzhu has a good life. But early this morning, Aunt Mei drank the anti-fetal medicine presented by Mingzhu, and suddenly she fell ill, collapsed with abdominal pain, and saw blood... ...Aunt Mei has already sent someone to call a good doctor."

Nangong Yue raised the corners of her lips with a half-smile, so it can be said that these are the only methods used in the inner courtyard to calculate and scheme.
