Chapter 524: Pick 524 people

The young and nimble girls could still be considered, but the unmet demands of this unmarried spec were somewhat unnecessary, after all, other than the servants sold by large families who were already married, who else would be sold to such a place?

Mrs. Zhu thought deeply, but still hurried to make arrangements.

Soon, the small courtyard was full of people.

The families of those who could be sold were generally not well off, and naturally, they were all thin and sallow, dressed in tattered clothes.

However, although Mrs. Zhu was involved in the trade of human trafficking, none of the sold individuals bore scars; instead, their faces were lifelessly expressionless, filled with traces worn by life.

"This lady is from a good family. All of you must perform well. If you’re chosen to enter a big household as a maid, at least you will have enough to eat. Don’t look as though you’ve lost your parents. The lady is buying you to work, not to mourn..."

After Mrs. Zhu’s lecture, she came back and looked at Ye Jiu, "Miss, all the girls in our yard are here, and they all have been taught the rules. Please choose, Miss."

Ye Jiu turned to Su Ning, "Su Ning, would you like to choose?"

He had planned to arrange marriages for them, and since Su Ning was here, wouldn’t it be better to let him choose someone he liked?

Indeed, Su Ning didn’t hesitate and seriously began to choose.

However, after looking around, he found that the girls were almost all the same.

Each one was so lean and thin that they appeared not to weigh more than two taels, and he truly didn’t have the ability to pick out anything special.

Thus, with a flushed face, Su Ning returned behind Ye Jiu, "That... I’m really not knowledgeable about this, it would be better if the master chooses."

He wanted to find a wife, yet he had never really thought about what kind of wife he’d like.

It was better to let the master decide for him, whatever she arranged would be acceptable.

As for himself, he had barely even touched a woman in his life, let alone developed a discerning eye; he really didn’t possess such a thing.

Ye Jiu looked at Su Ning astonishingly.

This guy was quite picky, huh? Among so many girls, not one caught his eye.

Mrs. Zhu had a feeling, for some reason, that these people weren’t here to pick maids, but rather to pick wives!

Since Su Ning was reluctant to choose, Ye Jiu had to pick herself.

She had just given Su Ning the opportunity to pick a beautiful one, but since he didn’t seize it, the chance was gone.

Ye Jiu was looking for a servant who could work, not really choosing based on appearance.

Ye Jiu took a few steps forward and said sternly, "Show me your hands."

Those who were taught were different. As soon as Ye Jiu spoke, the people below stretched out their hands, their movements as synchronized and neat as an army, pleasing to the eye.

Ye Jiu walked through the middle of their standing positions, observing their hands and the cleanliness of their clothes, carefully making her selections one by one.

The reason she looked at their hands was to see how their nails were trimmed.

Coming from poor households, those who could keep their nails neatly trimmed and their bodies clean showed they were inherently tidy people, although there were also sloppy ones.

Like her second sister-in-law, Zhao, who couldn’t be called sloppy but was certainly lazy.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have assigned all the housework to the young Qingzhi while she herself idled every day.
