C12 Why Are You Still Here?
Su Yuexin curled her lips and did not dare to retort. She only glanced at Su Yueru, who was sitting next to the old lady. It was all because of this woman that she was scolded by the old ancestor.
Soon, Su Qi and Lin Xuemei arrived. The two of them did not look very energetic. They bowed to the old lady and retreated to the side.
"Why are you so listless? Did you not rest well? "
Lin Xuemei thought about the dirty words in the room and opened her mouth. Su Qi pinched her waist and choked on her words.
"Maybe she just changed her place and is not used to sleeping. It will be fine in a few days."
The old lady snorted and looked at Su Yueru.
"Your courtyard is really small. It's not convenient to squeeze in it."
After saying that, she looked at Mrs. Tian and said.
"You are the matriarch. How could you not know how to arrange a place for the guests?"
Mrs. Tian was filled with grievances. She arranged for someone to live in the Welcoming Garden, but the other party was unwilling to live there. She had to move. What could she do?
"It's my fault. I will arrange for a bigger courtyard for Xuemei and her mother."
In her heart, she cursed the couple for their troubles.
Lin Xuemei was eager to move away. As long as she did not live in Su Yueru's "Returning to Home", she could live anywhere.
The old lady nodded and looked at Bi Qiu.
"Everyone is here. Ask Granny Gu to bring them in."
Bi Qiu replied and left. Very quickly, she brought a person in. It was Gu Ya, dressed in a dark green embroidered robe, accompanied by a blue cloth horse. There was a mole on her face, which was located at the corner of her eyes.
"Old servant greets the Old Madam, and all the other madams and young ladies."
"Gu Ya, there's no need to be so polite. The people of our Su Mansion have always been chosen by you. Today, I will choose a few smart Maidservants for the young ladies."
"Old Madam, Su Mansion is our big employer. If there are good ones, they will naturally be sent to you first. This is a coincidence. You sent someone to pass the message, and this old servant immediately picked out some smart Maidservants."
As she spoke, she clapped her hands, and a neat group of maidservants walked in. They were all dressed in pink dresses and had double bunches. Their dressing was exactly the same.
The Gu Ya was still boasting that these girls were all refined.
Old Lady Su patted Su Yueru's hand and said.
"Choose two that you like."
Su Yueru nodded slightly and said.
"Aunt is an elder, let Aunt choose first."
Su Qi immediately straightened her body and did not refuse. She went up and picked two maidservants that she thought were pleasing to the eye. After asking for their names, she led the maidservants to the side.
"Then these two. Thank you, mother."
Old Lady Su nodded slightly. She felt that her granddaughter was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye.
"Let's go down and pick."
Su Yueru smiled and nodded. She looked at Lin Xuemei, who was hoping that she would push her to pick first.
She walked over. In fact, when Su Qi was picking people, she had already taken a fancy to two girls. They looked pretty good. One of them was calm, with her head lowered, not revealing her true colors. The other one looked a little uneasy. She kept looking at Su Yueru with her big eyes. When she bumped into Su Yueru's eyes, she did not seem afraid. Instead, she blinked her eyes and smiled shyly before lowering her head again.
"What are your names?"
"According to the eldest miss, this servant is called 'Ru Ge'."
"This servant is called 'Ru Hua'."
"Ru Ge, Ru Hua, they seem to fit well together. Then the two of you will be selected."
The two Maidservant quickly knelt down and thanked her. They followed Su Yueru to the side of the old lady and stood behind her.
They knew how to behave.
Lin Xuemei could not hold it in anymore. She was afraid that the maidservant she had taken a fancy to would be snatched away by someone else.
"Grandmother, it's my turn, right?"
Before Old Lady Su could say anything, Lin Xuemei had already walked in front of the Maidservant. She looked around and walked a few rounds, picking out five or six of them. It seemed like she was going to continue picking.
The old lady's face was obviously gloomy, especially Mrs. Tian's. Her face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Before her own family could pick, this little girl had already picked up the first one. She did not have any courtesy at all.
Although these maidservants were not worth much, they still had to pay the Su Mansion.
Su Qi coughed, wanting to remind his daughter to pay attention.
But Lin Xuemei did not know anything at all. She picked eight maidservants in a row, and her face was filled with dissatisfaction.
"These maidservants are not good enough. They are much worse than when I was in the Marquis Mansion."
As soon as Lin Xuemei said that, it was obvious that she had angered everyone in the room.
The old lady's eyelids twitched. Mrs. Tian's face was gloomy, and she snorted from her nose, not saying a word.
Su Yuelan frowned unnoticeably, but her eyebrows were filled with disdain. Su Yuexin was the most uncontrollable.
"Then go back to your Little Marquis Mansion. Why are you still here?"
"Xin Er, don't talk nonsense."
Mrs. Tian pretended to be displeased and scolded.
"How can you speak like that? Grandmother didn't chase us away, so what right do you have to chase us away?"
"Xuemei!"
Oh my god, she didn't have the slightest sense of belonging to someone else.
Lin Xuemei was glared at by her mother, and she shut her mouth and did not say a word.
"Grandmother, I've picked them."
She did not ask if she could pick the maidservants, and directly brought them to Su Qi's side as if they were all right.
The old woman subconsciously glanced at the old lady. Although it was good for her to pick more people, this young lady was a bit too insensible.
Although the old lady was pulling her face, she did not refuse. She just snorted and said to Mrs. Tian and the other two daughters of the Su family.
"Look, if the yard is not enough, then you can choose two to go back."
Mrs. Tian laughed and agreed, but she was cursing in her heart. It was not like she was the one who had to fork out the money! She was just standing there and talking!
"The people in Yuelan's house are enough, so we won't choose anymore."
Su Yuelan said in a proper manner. She looked at the old lady and nodded. Today, she had already been stolen by Su Yueru. Normally, the old lady doted on her the most, but today, she let Su Yueru take everything.
Su Yuexin was unhappy, so she pointed to two Maidservant and chose them.
Mrs. Tian did not add more people to the house. She picked more than a dozen people and let Gu Ya Granny take the remaining people to the accounting office to settle the bill and then left.
After the people were chosen, Gu Ya Granny also left. Su Qi and Lin Xuemei led the Maidservant and left first.
Su Yuexin could not sit still any longer, so she quickly left.
Su Yueru accompanied the old lady and talked for a while. The old lady waved her hand and said that she was tired, so she told Su Yuelan to leave first.
Only Mrs. Tian stayed behind.
Mrs. Tian reckoned that the old ancestor had something to say to her.
The old lady leaned against the chrysanthemum cushion with her eyes half-closed. It was a long time before she opened her mouth and said.
