Chapter 12 Black Girl
Chapter 12 Black Girl
As she spoke, Shen Ruyi walked past the remaining people one by one.
Because he was dressed like a little black boy, those who looked around, had wandering eyes, were too active, were aloof, and looked down on others were directly eliminated.
Eliminate those with long nails or those whose nails do not look very clean.
Eliminate the dirty areas around your neck and behind your ears.
Throw away clothes and shoes that are too dirty.
Eliminate those who look uncomfortable.
In the end, there were only 25 people left, standing in a row.
"Start from the left, each of you introduce yourself. How old are you? What are you good at? What are your specialties? It doesn't matter what they are. Also, tell me why you are here."
The first person to reply was a dark-skinned, relatively stout girl with a look of pure stupidity in her eyes. She replied nonchalantly,
"My name is Hei Niu. I fled here from the north. There is no one at home, so I am the only one left. My previous employer thought I ate too much and said he couldn't afford to support me, so he sent me here.
Boss, please take me in. I am strong and I work fast. Really, I can do any job. Please buy me. If it doesn’t work out, I can eat less in the future.”
Shen Ruyi looked at her, "How strong are you?"
Seeing that there was something going on, Hei Nuo walked towards the fat lady standing in the middle.
He directly carried the person like a princess, and shook her in his arms for a few times, and walked forward a few steps while holding her. He smiled at Shen Ruyi and said, "You see, I am really strong. Please buy me. I can eat less in the future, as long as I don't starve to death."
Shen Ruyi smiled. This girl is a lively character and a talent. Seeing how relaxed she was when hugging someone, it was clear that her limits were far more than what she showed.
Isn't this the kind of warrior I'm looking for? With proper training, he will definitely be a powerful weapon.
He nodded and said, "Okay, you stay and you can put the person down."
When Hei Nuo heard that she could stay, she was so happy that she threw the nanny into the air again, and after shaking her a few times, she put her down quietly, thinking she was doing it lightly.
While brushing off the non-existent dust on the nanny's body, he apologized to her, "Don't blame me, auntie. I'm so sorry, so sorry!"
With a chuckle, I don't know where the laughter started.
It was like a switch was turned on and everyone burst into laughter.
The originally serious selection process became different, and even the air around them became soft.
To be more precise, this is also a moment that determines the fate of each other, which is very important for both the master and the servant.
The nanny being held was also a character, tall and slightly plump, with her hair combed meticulously, and her face showing no sadness or joy. Her weight was estimated to be around 140.150 to kilograms.
Shen Ruyi had carefully observed this nanny before. From the moment she was picked up, a look of panic flashed across her eyes, and then her eyes were dead silent.
Standing straight, this is a nanny who has undergone rigorous training and has a story to tell.
Shen Ruyi said to the nanny, "Since you have the opportunity to stand in front, you can be the first to introduce yourself."
The nanny replied: "Master, my surname is Lu, I am 43 years old this year, I used to work in the palace, but I was released by the government because of my age.
After leaving the palace, she was taken in by her nephew from her mother's side to be taken care of in her old age. Now her nephew and his wife thought that she was an eyesore and redundant, so she sold herself.
This old slave can read, sew well, and is the best at cooking."
This is a person who failed to keep his private money and was abandoned after his nephew emptied his pockets and squeezed out his hard-earned money because the nephew felt that he had no other use.
Let alone your nephew, even if it is your own son, when you become no longer valuable, you may be despised and abandoned.
This is human nature, it's so cruel!
"If one day, your nephews and nieces suddenly came to you and cried, saying that they missed you, how helpless they were in the past, and how difficult their lives are now, what would you do?"
"I have used all my savings to buy them land and property. I have done my duty to the ancestors of the Lu family. From now on, I will be alone, without any family or relatives."
No wonder, there was a dead silence in her eyes. It would be best if she could see clearly and understand it herself.
Shen Ruyi is afraid of trouble, and is even more afraid of dealing with people who can't figure things out.
She didn't want a day in the future when she, as the master, would have to give chicken soup to her confused subordinates, teach them how to identify people, teach them how to distinguish between good and bad, and clean up their messes for them.
How humble and tired she must be then.
I can't tell whether it is a disease or an incurable disease.
Firmly say no to those who are unclear.
Shen Ruyi replied, "Okay, you stay, and leave. Next one!"
This time, the one who stood out was a beautiful lady with outstanding temperament and clear eyes.
She bowed to Shen Ruyi and said, "My lord, I am Jasmine, 16 years old. I used to work for the second young lady of the Changning Marquis's mansion. Later, the male master took a fancy to me and wanted to take me as a concubine. I didn't want to, so I begged the mistress to let me go. I can read, do accounting, and sew well."
Her former mistress was not happy with her being a concubine, so she probably just let her go.
But then again, which woman would be happy to give a woman to her man?
Shen Ruyi asked, "Do you have any requests or expectations for the master?"
This is an employee with his own ideas, so we need to ask him clearly.
This kind of employee can be very useful if used well, but can easily backfire if used poorly.
"Sir, I don't want to be someone's concubine. I either want to be the principal wife or stay single for life." Jasmine was silent for a few breaths and said firmly.
Wow, this idea is quite fresh and explosive in this era!
Shen Ruyi looked her straight in the eye. "As long as you can promise to be loyal to me forever, I will promise you that if you want to marry, you are free to marry with a dowry. If you don't want to marry, I will take care of you until the end of your life."
There was silence for a moment. This promise was heavy enough.
The people standing there completely suppressed the contempt buried in their hearts.
I used to think that such a young child might not be able to take charge of his own family.
Now it seems that it is not simple.
Jasmine knelt down directly: "Greetings, Master!"
Shen Ruyi nodded, "Well, okay, step back, next one."
The next girl had a rough, sallow face and calluses on her hands. She was not just malnourished, her clothes were covered in pudding, but they were clean.
When this person stepped out, Wang Yaren specifically explained that this girl's father had died and her mother had remarried, so she lived with her uncle's family. The son of that family wanted to get married, but they didn't have enough money, so she was sold.
She used to do farm work every day and is quite strong, no worse than an adult man. The key is that she is very honest and obedient. She is not too old and can be trained. She doesn't have high requirements and is satisfied as long as she has enough to eat.
The little girl said timidly, "My name is Daya, I'm 14 years old, I can farm, fetch water, chop wood, cook, and feed chickens and ducks, I can do all that, but there's no one at home."
Shen Ruyi asked directly, "If you meet your uncle's family or your mother again, who will you listen to? Your uncle, your mother, or me?"
