    Ten pretty girls lined up and stood humbly in the yard with their heads lowered. You could tell they had been trained.

    Huaxi asked Hongliu to follow. He first met with Mrs. Wang and then symbolically walked back and forth twice in front of the ten people, then stood back and looked at her again.

    The people next to him were the usual ones in the house. They knew the rules and kept standing aside without saying much. They only boasted about being a good seller after reading Huaxi: "This time the old lady has spoken, the young ones have been chosen by those who are innocent and of good fortune."  Steady and honest.¡±

    Hua Xi nodded, smiled and said to Mrs. Wang: "Mom has been with the old lady for the longest time, and her eyesight is worse than others. I am young, have shallow eyelids, and am not good at seeing people. They all look pretty good, so why not borrow my mother's help?" These sharp eyes will help Huaxi take a look, which one is better to choose?"

    Mother Wang did not expect that Huaxi would directly hand over the selection of candidates to her. She gave Huaxi a meaningful look, lowered her head and said, "Since the girl said so, I will help the girl take a look."

    Hua Xi thanked her: "Thank you very much, Mom. You all raised your heads so that Mom could see clearly."

    Selection of candidates is just like an interview. There are always people who can perform well and people who have stage fright. Being able to perform does not mean that they are down-to-earth and willing to work. Those who have stage fright do not mean that they have no talent.  Huaxi just turned around twice. Although she didn't speak, she was always alert and would always reveal some thoughts through her eyes and movements.

    Mother Wang expressed her gratitude and thought about it in her heart.  Although Chuntao was not chosen by her, she was sent to Qixia Garden, so this time she was very cautious in selecting people for Huaxi. She looked over and over, picked four or five and asked a few questions, and finally chose two of them.  He looks average and looks honest and reliable.

    Hua Xi thanked her, and Mrs. Wang led the rest of the people away.

    The two remaining little maids knelt on the ground and kowtowed to their new master.

    "What's your name? How old are you? Who else is there in the family?" Hua Xi looked at them and saw that they were both twelve or thirteen years old and asked casually.

    "I'm thirteen this year. I'm from Huazhou. My parents and younger brother are here. Because my family was poor and I had to support my younger brother, I sold her to people and moved to the capital. I didn't give her a name when I was at home. People in the village called me Nuyu Daya." The one on the left  The round-faced man spoke first.  The little girl has slightly dark skin, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and sharp features. She looks like a cheerful child.

    "And you?"

    "This slave escaped from Muzhou. Her parents are dead and there is no one left in the family. My father went to private school for two years and named her Juanzi. I heard from people that if this slave enters the house and follows the master, the master will give her a new name.  . This slave please give me a name from the girl."

    The one on the right has an oval face, eyebrows and single eyelids. He doesn¡¯t look very impressive, but he is also cute and naive.  Huaxi heard that her words and actions were more disciplined than Daya's, so she thought she must be a smart person, so she secretly kept it in mind.

    "Now it's autumn again. From now on, Daya will be called Fangju, and Juanzi will be called Muxi."

    Fangju and Muxi thanked them.

    Hua Xi raised his hand to let the two of them get up, then turned to tell Hongliu: "Hongliu, you are the old man in the house and you are very careful in your work. I will leave Fangju and Muxi to you first. The Hou Mansion is no different from other houses, and the most important rules are there. You are here with me."  If you do something wrong in this courtyard, I can forgive you as long as there are extenuating circumstances, but if you make another mistake outside the courtyard, I can't protect you. You two follow Sister Hongliu and learn the rules carefully, and you will naturally not make mistakes. Do you remember it?"

    "It's easy for me, slave." They both said in unison.

    Hongliu, who was standing by the side, thought of Chuntao, couldn't help but shuddered, and bowed, "I obey, my servant."

    "Okay, Hongliu, please take them down to resettle them. There is no need to do any work today. Let's get familiar with the people first." Huaxi rewarded the two of them with a sachet each and asked Hongliu to take them down.

    Now that there are two more people in the house, Liu's mother is still in charge of the monthly money, and the rest of the general affairs Huaxi are handed over to the manager Hongliu. Chunying is responsible for food and tea, Cuiming is responsible for clothing and jewelry, Dingxiang is responsible for the incense room and spices, and the four  She received the monthly salary of a second-class maid, while Fangju and Muxi were new arrivals. According to the example of third-class maids, Hongliu temporarily asked them to take charge of some chores such as washing and sweeping.

    Although there are not two first-class maids and four third-class maids as per the rules for the girls in the mansion, there are still two sturdy women and two little maids at their disposal in the garden.  This is better for Huaxi, who is not used to being around too many people.

    It was August 15th in a blink of an eye. Due to the sympathy of the Queen Mother and the King of Thailand, Xiao Wu, who was originally going to be carried into the palace in late July, was allowed to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at home and enter the palace again on the 16th.  Xiao Wu posted a message and invited his close friends to get together on the 14th.

    The old lady called five girls for questioning, and Dao Xiaowu sent a message asking all the girls from Mu Mansion to go, including Hua Xi.

    Mu Yunlin didn¡¯t bother to go, so naturally she wouldn¡¯t agree.  Yunxin has no say, since the last trouble in Huaxi Garden, she has been living in seclusion, and this time Yunlin is the only one who follows her.  Yun Ning wanted to go but saw that none of the girls at home wanted to go. She muttered whether it would be rude not to go to any of them.  Yunyi thought carefully. It was inconvenient to go out during the filial piety period, so she prepared a make-up gift and sent it to others. All the etiquette was required.

    As an outsider in Huaxi, it was not her turn to interrupt at this time, so she must have followed the crowd, so she sat aside absent-mindedly and pretended to be transparent.

    "Just follow what the fourth girl says. We are both keeping filial piety and inheriting the title. There are a lot of things in the house. If you don't go, you won't go. Just prepare more gifts for makeup. The Xiao family won't blame you. You guys  The little sisters also went back to think about it and prepared the things in the past two days. I will send someone to deliver them on the 14th."

    After Mrs. Xiao finished explaining, she sent Huaxi and the other five away.

    As soon as she left the hospital, Mu Yunlin glared at Hua Xi and said in a strange tone: "Sister, you are the best at making incense, and you are in love with Xiao Wu. I wonder what kind of rare incense you are going to make this time? Don't do it like last time.  They were used to offer treasures in exchange for glory."

    Huaxi was too lazy to talk to Yunlin and replied with a smile: "We have to prepare gifts in two days. How could Huaxi have time to make incense? She was thinking of choosing some embroidery to add to Sister Xiao Wu's makeup. Besides, Sister Xiao Wu was going to marry into the prince's palace.  , there are no good things or rare fragrances, how can Huaxi¡¯s poor skills catch the eyes of others.¡±

    "You learned the lesson this time. You know what I'm doing."

    Yunlin glanced at Huaxi, tossed her sleeves and left.  Yunxin followed.  Yun Ning was in a bad mood and left, leaving Hua Xi and Yunyi alone.

    "Don't take it personally, Yun Lin has that temper and it's not directed at you." Yun Yi comforted.

    "It's because I can't eat the grapes and say the grapes are sour, and I'm jealous of Xiao Wu, so I don't even see people climbing high branches."

    Huaxi smiled nonchalantly, "Fourth sister is too worried. Huaxi doesn't care."

    Yunyi nodded, changed the topic and asked Huaxi: "How did you read the book last time?"

    Hua Xi nodded, "The book is good, I'm just reading it."

    Yun Yi was overjoyed, "That's fine, just don't forget to promise third brother."
