Chapter 426 Picking a Boy

 It's just that at that time, he was a few months older than Tagore now.

 But he felt that at that time, he was not as "smart" as Tiger, so he was the stupid bird who would fly first, so Tiger naturally couldn't delay.

 In the garden, practice and play.

In Qiwu Courtyard, Du Jingyi was waiting for the news from his uncle’s mother.

"Mr. Zheng will be here soon. I heard before that she has several suitable ones that she is ready to send to other homes. Take a look. If you think they are suitable, then we will stay."

"Does it fit?"

"Is there anything suitable or inappropriate? I haven't specified which house I want to send it to, so what are you afraid of? The old lady in Manjinling City has the largest business, and the servants she has trained are well-behaved and generous, so you can rest assured. "

Hearing what the eldest aunt said, Du Jingyi didn't think much about it. He drank tea and laughed with the eldest aunt, waiting for the arrival of the nanny.

In the past, the aunties she had come into contact with at the General's Mansion all dealt with the high-ranking officials in Sui'an City, so they were naturally respectable people. But today, when she saw the aunties used by the aristocratic families in Jinling City, they were better than those in Sui'an City. I'd like to be more polite.

As the saying goes, don’t hit someone with a smiling face.

The mother-in-law Zheng smiled so happily that Du Jingyi also felt comfortable looking at her.

"I heard that the madam is looking for a servant for the young master, so I picked a few good ones to come over. Take a look. If you think they are suitable, you can keep them and train them. If you feel they are not suitable, I can go back and try them again. Just choose some good ones and send them over.”

 “Mr. Zheng Ya took the trouble.”

Du Jingyi replied, and then he saw her bowing a little, taking two steps back and waving outside, and asked the six boys who had followed her to stand side by side.

There are two older ones, who look to be about seven or eight years old, and the other four, judging from their height, should be about five or six years old.

 But his face is pretty and he is well-groomed, and you can tell at a glance that he has been well-taught.

 “Everyone raise their heads and show Mrs. Gu.”

 The six people all raised their heads after hearing the words, their eyes slightly averted, but their bodies stood straight.

Du Jingyi looked at it carefully and found out that he was interested in the second one on the left and the first one on the right, and then asked.

 “Where are these two from?”

Du Jingyi pointed his hand, and Zheng Ao Po spoke eloquently.

“The taller one is from Quzhou, and the shorter one is from Lingzhou.”

These two places have never been rich, especially when there are natural disasters and floods, and there are cases of selling children and daughters everywhere, so when Du Jingyi heard this, he didn't ask any more questions.

 At such a young age, I have to serve others, and I am really forced by life.

 “What are their names?”

 “Hui Madam, the younger one’s name is Songshan.”

The one who spoke was a taller boy. His voice was still a little childish, but his temperament was calm.

 “Little Ruijiang.”

And Ruijiang is naturally the shorter one, but he is somewhat clever when he speaks, and does not look stupid. When Zheng Aopo saw Du Jingyi's inquiry, she immediately handed over the booklet with the information about the two of them. It clearly recorded when the purchase was made, who introduced it, and the contract signed when the purchase was made. , and what relatives there are at home, where they are, how many years they have studied, what they know, etc.

Du Jingyi took one look and made up his mind.

"Okay, just the two of them, let's stay in the house for a while. If it's suitable, the young master and the young lady's personal servants and maids will all cause trouble to Granny Zheng in the future."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng Ao smiled even more happily.

Although those in their profession are all business servants, the servants are also different. First of all, the first level depends on which family they enter, and secondly, the second level depends on what kind of work they do.

If they are just rough cleaners and the like, they will naturally not be able to make money, but if they are ladies, ladies, and people close to the master and master, that is extraordinary. Their words and deeds can be her living signs.

  No matter which family you come from, they will all say that she, Mrs. Zheng, knows how to train her. Wouldn’t there be an endless stream of business like this?

"Madam, you have good taste. Other villains don't dare to say much, but Songshan is the most stable one here. Even though he is only eight years old now, even those who are more than ten years old may not be as stable as him in things. With such a person watching over the young master, the madam will feel more at ease in the future."

　　　What Mrs. Zheng Ya said spoke to Du Jingyi's heart.

What she likes is Songshan's inherent maturity and poise. If he is well cultivated, he will be an effective manager around Tai brother in the future. As for Na Ruijiang, he seems to have a lively and clever temperament, so he can accompany Tai brother. Brother, it's a joke.

　　Received the deed of money, and then received a reward.

 “Please, Madam Zheng, please take the children for a trip. I can use the money to buy them something to eat.”

Zheng Aopo wants to do a long-term business, so although she treats these children strictly, she is not harsh, and the money rewarded by the master's family is not unreasonable.

"Hurry up and take it. Thank Mrs. Gu for the reward."

 “Thank you, Mrs. Gu, for the reward.”

Shuxiu smiled, and then sent Mrs. Zheng out of the yard. In the main room, Du Jingyi was talking seriously to Songshan and Ruijiang.

"When you enter the house, the person you have to serve is Brother Tai. He is only a little over two years old now. Most of his daily life is taken care of by wet nurses and maids. But I think that after some time, he should be a little bit more male and female. I have other thoughts, so it would be more appropriate for you two to take personal care of me."

"Especially Songshan, when the time comes, he will have to take care of Brother Tai's food and daily life, so he will inevitably have to be more careful. I saw it written in your booklet that you have younger brothers and sisters at home, so I will take care of Brother Tai. I just take care of you as my younger brother."

Du Jingyi’s words made Songshan a little flattered.

"Madam, you are serious. Songshan is just a slave. How dare you treat the young master as your younger brother? Songshan doesn't dare."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi smiled, and then said with relief.

"He was just born with a better fate than you, but it doesn't mean that you can only keep your head down and look at yourself, don't look down on others, do you understand?"

 Matsuyama didn’t know whether to answer yes or not.

If they followed the teachings of Mrs. Zheng Ya, they should naturally listen to the master's words, but now the wife's words made him slightly shaken in his usual attitude of lowering his head to do things.

 Ruijiang next to him didn't quite understand what it meant, so he said with a silly smile.

“Rui Jiang listens to Madam, but Madam, if you meet someone taller than Rui Jiang, shouldn’t you raise your head to see the person clearly?”
