AWB Chapter 109 Sending a Maid
Chapter 109 Sending a Maid
"The old lady was worried about you having bought a new house and not having anyone to serve you. So she sent a servant to bring a few maids here for Miss Qin to use in the future."
"These maids have clean family backgrounds and have been trained in the mansion. If they are lucky enough to catch your eye, you can keep them. The maids have signed life contracts. If you don't like them, you can replace or sell them in the future."
"Besides, the matchmaker has brought some people to wait outside today. Please see if there are any vacancies in the mansion. You may also pick some to stay and use."
Butler Ren, with a smile on his face, brought the four maids to Qin Ruo and handed over their indentures.
"The old lady is very thoughtful. I think these maids are quite clever and I like them very much. Butler Ren, please tell the old lady thank you for me."
Qin Ruo did not shy away and took the indenture contract handed to her by Butler Ren.
The four maids who were sent here all looked to be around fourteen or fifteen years old, and had decent looks.
You can tell from his words and actions that he is a well-behaved person, and you can tell at first glance that he is someone who has been trained with great effort.
Now is the time when we are short of manpower, and this gift from Madam Xie really touched Qin Ruo's heart.
She was not worried that Madam Xie would place spies around her. Just as Butler Ren said, if the person was not convenient to use, she could just replace him.
Anyway, the selling contracts are in my hands, so I don't have to worry about them rebelling.
After Qin Ruo accepted the indentures of the maids, Butler Ren's smile became even more intense. He turned around and waved to the maids waiting on the side.
"Come forward, Miss Qin will be your new master from now on. You must be loyal and diligent and serve Miss Qin well. Do you understand?" Butler Ren spoke in a stern tone and took the opportunity to give them a warning.
The four maids immediately responded in unison, bowed to Qin Ruo, and said in a crisp voice: "Greetings, Master. Please give me a name."
Several maids had served in the Xie Mansion before, and they were a little nervous when they suddenly had a new master.
Although Qin Ruo had been to Xie's house before, these maids had seen Qin Ruo from afar, but they had never really met her and did not know what her personality was like.
At this moment, everyone lowered their heads and looked at their toes, not daring to look up at Qin Ruo.
"Everyone, get up. You heard what Butler Ren said just now. If you are willing to stay, you will be mine in the future. Although I am not rich, I can provide you with food and clothing. But I must make it clear in advance that life here is certainly not as good as the life in Xie's house, and it will be more difficult."
"Today, I will also give you a chance to choose. Those who are willing to stay can stand on the left. Those who don't want to stay can stand where they are and follow Butler Ren back to Xie's house later..."
Although Qin Ruo accepted their indentures, she couldn't avoid giving them a beating.
She didn't want to force them to stay, after all, a forced melon is not sweet.
She was afraid that these maids, who were used to the good life in the Xie family, would not be able to accept this huge psychological gap for a while, so as to prevent them from having other ideas in the future.
When Qin Ruo opened her mouth, several maids immediately panicked and knelt on the ground, scrambling to speak.
"I am willing to follow the master and accept his orders. Please don't chase me away."
They were all selected by Nanny Zhang herself, and Nanny Zhang also gave them a lesson before they came here.
The new master is a very capable person, and he will achieve great success in the future. But he is also a person who cannot tolerate any injustice.
As long as they serve the new master well, their future prospects will not be worse than that of the Xie Mansion.
Nanny Zhang was never a person who spoke without thinking. Although she was strict with them on weekdays, she was not harsh.
The reason for sending them to Qin Ruo this time was naturally to find a good way out for them in the future.
The maids were not stupid, so they would naturally not refuse Grandma Zhang's kindness.
"Please give us a name, master. From now on, we belong to your people. Our life and death, honor and disgrace all depend on your words." One of the maids, who was slightly older than the others, spoke again.
Qin Ruo didn't expect that these maids would react so strongly.
She just wanted to give them a chance to choose. If they really couldn't get along in the future, they could just part ways amicably. Unexpectedly, these maids were the first to get anxious.
As expected, he came from the Xie family, was well-trained and had a very upright manner.
Old Madam Xie was very thoughtful, and fearing that she might have any ideas, she even sent the indentures of these maids.
This is sincerity.
"Stand up first. Tell us how old you are and what you are good at." Qin Ruo had a smile in her eyes. She did not mention changing the name, but asked them to introduce themselves first.
"My lord, I am sixteen years old this year. I can read and read, and I can read account books. I used to serve in the old lady's courtyard." The first person to speak was a maid with a slender figure, willow-shaped eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and a dignified appearance.
She spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, appearing very steady.
"My lord, I am fifteen years old this year. I am good at needlework and washing. When I am in Xie's house, I will be mainly responsible for making clothes for my lord." Another maidservant in green clothes came out and spoke in a gentle voice. It was obvious that she had a good temper.
"My lord, I am fourteen years old this year. I know a little bit of martial arts and I am agile. In the past, I was mainly responsible for delivering messages to the mistress and the master in the Xie Mansion." The third maid looked young, with a round face that made her look very likable, and she spoke in a crisp voice.
"My lord, I am thirteen years old this year. I was previously responsible for the rough work of sweeping and cleaning in the Xie Mansion. My ancestor was a doctor, so I know a little bit of medicine." The last maidservant looked the youngest and spoke a little timidly.
Qin Ruo looked at the four maids and had already made up her mind.
These four maids each have their own specialties and were obviously carefully selected by Madam Xie.
In fact, it is more than just carefully selected, it is tailor-made for you.
"Very good, then you all stay. From now on you can be called Xundong, Yiqiu, Banxia, and Chuntao respectively."
Qin Ruo thought for a moment and gave them new names so that it would be convenient for them to call each other in the future.
When the master gives a new name, it means welcoming a new life and saying goodbye to the past.
"Thank you for the name, master." The four maids were overjoyed and expressed their gratitude immediately.
Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief and liked the name Qin Ruo gave him.
Qin Ruo briefly told them about her daily work and asked them to go into the house first and make their own beds.
Butler Ren then turned around and left, calling in the matchmaker who had been waiting outside.
There were more than a dozen people brought by the matchmaker, and Qin Ruo finally only picked two servants who looked honest and hardworking.
"Miss Qin, if there is no suitable person among this group of people, you can ask the matchmaker to bring another group." Butler Ren was a little surprised to see that Qin Ruo only kept two people.
"Thank you, Butler Ren. Everything depends on liking each other. There is no rush. We can add more people slowly in the future." Qin Ruo smiled and rejected Butler Ren.
There was a hint of disappointment in the matchmaker's eyes. She handed over the indentures of the two people politely and left with the rest of the people in an orderly manner.
Si Heng, who had been silent the whole time, looked a little annoyed.
Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to send a few people from the Dark Pavilion to Qin Ruo for her use.
Unexpectedly, my aunt took another step ahead of me.
