Chapter 2605: Test

Upon hearing this, Feng Jius mouth twitched. What on earth was going on with this family?

Xie Yan smiled when he saw this: Well, I think the people Little Jiu has picked are not bad, let him pick the rest! He looked at the twelve people next to him and said to Feng Jiu: There are twelve here, so pick eight more to make up twenty people.

As soon as he had spoken, he told the steward to change another batch of slaves. However in addition to young men and women, there were also old men in this batch of slaves. Therefore, there was a real mixture of slaves in this batch, and some of those slaves also had higher cultivation bases.

Feng Jiu sighed softly. She knew that the beautiful woman was probably trying to test her, or perhaps see what kind of person she was. Although she could pretend to be stunned and pick randomly, she didnt do so.

Since she was going to be staying in their house for a while, she knew that it was useless to hide her clumsiness all the time. Whats more, her throat would be fine a few days later and she would have to speak! She couldnt possibly pretend to be dumb and say nothing all the time.

Therefore, after the steward changed the batch of people, she walked past them and looked at them one by one. Four women and four men were finally selected from fifty people.

Two of the four women were around sixteen or seventeen years old, and their appearance seemed proper. She had picked them for the beautiful woman. The other two were in their thirties and forties. She had inquired earlier and these two were going to be the cooks in the kitchen.

As for the other four men, one was about the same age as Xie Yutang and going to be his servant boy. The other two were around fifteen or sixteen years old and would be errand boys. The last person was a young man.

The strength of this person was not the highest amongst those people, but between his eyebrows exuded integrity. She was going to use this person as a steward for them, and she felt that this person had the ability.

After the final selection, she wrote all the arrangements down on paper for the beautiful woman to see. Since she wanted to test her ability, naturally, she had to show it. Besides, the ability to employ people was easy for her.

When the couple saw Feng Jius arrangements, their hearts moved slightly. The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, and finally, the beautiful woman said: Well, we will take these!

Go to the carriage to wait for me and I will take care of the rest. Xie Yan smiled. After he had spoken to them, he told the steward to bring those people forward and handle the handover.

Mother, are the people Little Jiu picked all very good? Xie s.h.i.+si asked, holding her arm. Even Xie Yutang at the side p.r.i.c.ked up his ears and listened.

Feng Jiu sat outside the carriage and smiled when she heard their words.

In the carriage, the beautiful woman smiled softly: Yes, Little Jius judgement is very good, everyone she picked is suitable.

Why dont I see that he has good judgement? Xie Yutang snorted softly, but he agreed in his heart. When those girls looked at him seductively, he wanted to punch their eyes till they swelled up. Luckily those people hadnt been picked.

The beautiful woman smiled and didnt say much, she just said: We will go to the clothing store later and get some clothes made for everyone in the house.

Upon hearing this, Xie Yutang nodded in agreement: Mother, we should do that. Look at how old Little Jius clothes are, and he doesnt have any new clothes to replace them. If he follows me in the future, others might even mistake him for a beggar thats appeared out of nowhere!
