Chapter 812 It doesn’t matter if you are a hero behind the scenes

It was very close, and the carriage arrived in just over a quarter of an hour. It looked quite quiet, and the servants were very considerate and had already hung up a sign of the Lin Mansion.

Hao Huashi said: "I chose this garden. There were several at the time, and I picked this one. I saw a small abandoned garden in the back, and asked someone to plant some herbs there. If we only plant a small handful of each, wouldn't it be possible to identify the herbs on the spot?"

Lin Qingju couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother, you are very thoughtful."

A few people simply walked around, looked around, and then entered the hall.

The fourth brother gave a eunuch named Yang Hui to be his housekeeper to highlight Lin Qingju's relatively transcendent status.

Although he had only been there for two days, everything was already in order. Not long after they sat down, tea and snacks were served.

Yang Hui bowed and asked, "Your Highness, should we call them up together or one by one?"

Xinbao assumed that she was just a bystander in this matter and lowered her head to taste the snacks.

The snacks here can't compare with those in the palace, but there is a kind of snack that looks like rice crust, and you can still see the shape of individual rice grains. It is crispy and delicious. Xinbao said to Hao Huashi: "Pack a little bit and take it back to Lu Sanchi so that he can learn to make it for us."

Hao Huashi nodded: "Okay."

He wrapped three or four pieces in a handkerchief and put them away.

Seeing that they didn't care, Lin Qingju said directly: "Let's go together."

Yang Hui agreed and brought the person up.

All his clothes had been changed and were clean. He was brought up with his head lowered and his face pleasing to the eye. They were about the same age, and at first glance, there was almost no difference.

Lin Qingju said gently: "Start from the left hand side, one by one, tell us your name, age and where you are from."

So starting from the left, each little girl took a step forward, bowed, and said her name, age, and where she was from.

Xinbao thought it was not a good idea to eat snacks in front of them, so he wiped his hands, stopped eating, drank a sip of tea, and watched curiously.

There were more than twenty people, and they reported their names one by one very quickly.

Lin Qingju hesitated and looked back and forth at them.

He was a soft-hearted man. These girls were purchased from various places. If there were any left over after they were selected, they would probably be sold to the pawnbrokers and become slaves.

But they originally only wanted a few, ten at most, so there were indeed a lot of people...

He subconsciously glanced at Xinbao.

Xinbao looked at him innocently.

The next moment, Yuan Shenjue stood up, walked over, and started to point, "You, you..." He pointed at seven in a row: "Take away all those I pointed at."

The children's faces instantly showed extreme disappointment. Lin Qingju couldn't bear to watch any longer and wanted to stand up and say something.

Gan Baibi held his shoulder, walked over, and pointed at one of them: "Take this one away too."

The little girl retreated palely.

In this way, there were only eighteen left. Yuan Shenjue said: "Starting from this, tell me how you were sold?"

Apparently, they had not been taught this in advance, and the little girls looked at each other in panic, then started speaking haltingly from the first one.

Anyone standing here must have a bad background, either suffering from disaster or being poor, or having their family destroyed.

Both of them stood with their hands behind their backs, listening quietly, without being moved.

When I finished talking, I deleted three more, so there were only fifteen left.

Yuan Shenjue said: "Alright, Yang Hui, take these guys away."

Yang Hui quickly bowed and responded, then took the person away.

The two of them walked back and sat down, and Gan Baibi looked at Yuan Shenjue.

Yuan Shenjue had already turned his head to look at Xinbao, so he advised Lin Qingju: "Qingju, you have to understand that these children will have the opportunity to become your highness's disciples in the future, which is an extremely high status. Their actions will be seen by the world, and if they behave improperly, it will definitely affect your highness's reputation... So they must be extremely outstanding people, and those with bad hearts and bad tempers must not be accepted."

"So, you must not relax the conditions out of compassion at this time. Once this precedent is set, there will be endless troubles. Also, you must understand that the reason I asked you to accept a disciple is not just for the sake of accepting a disciple. If there is any omission, it will affect the country. You must not do something bad with good intentions."

Lin Qingju's face turned pale when he heard what he said, and he kept saying, "Thank you for your advice, Lord Gan. It was Qingju who didn't think it through."

Gan Baibi cupped his hands and said, "I dare not, I dare not."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Yuan Shenjue said: "Of these fifteen people, it would be good if two or three can stay. Let's ask people to continue shopping."

"Yes," Gan Baibi said frankly, "There is no need to rush to accept the fifteen people who remain as disciples. You should teach them slowly and carefully measure their behavior. If there are any who cannot be corrected, you must abandon them in time without delay. Selecting the best from the best can also make them more motivated. In the end, how many of them can be left will depend on themselves."

Lin Qingju responded repeatedly: "Qingju understands."

Xinbao raised his little hand and asked to speak: "Actually, there's no need to be so troublesome!"

Several people: “…Huh?”

Xinbao said confidently: "What Yeye wants is to teach them to be talented, right? Isn't it just to make them look good when promoting them? Xinbao can secretly make pills for them! So even if some of them are a little dumb and don't learn very well, Xinbao can secretly help them! As long as they practice their manners well and look like a master, that should be easy to learn, right? Clothes make the man, just dress better!"

Hao Huashi said in surprise: "Master, don't you attach the most importance to medicine and don't allow fooling around?"

Xinbao: “…”

In fact, it is not. The most important thing in Xinbao's heart is her family. If Yeye needs it, it doesn't matter even if Xinbao wants to be a hero behind the scenes! But in front of many outsiders, she can only say tactfully: "In this world, there will always be something... important enough to make you give up your principles."

Hao Huashi: “…”

Okay.

Yuan Shenjue said calmly: "Xinbao, what is important to you and what is important to me can obviously be achieved at the same time, so why should we give in? Why don't we just find more people, let them work hard to learn, and then pick out the ones who learn well?"

Xinbao thought for a moment and said, "It's ok, but I feel a little pitiful for being the last one to be picked out."

Yuan Shenjue said: "If they have bad intentions or are not as good as others, that's how it should be. There is no pity for them. If you pick a bad one, the patients will be the ones who will be pitied. When they go out with the name of your disciple, they will be trusted by others, but they don't have the corresponding skills. How many patients do you think will be pitiful?"

Xinbao was speechless: "You are right."

Lin Qingju listened silently.

Just now the young master was so frugal with his words, but now he is so talkative and what he says is so nice... This kind of differential treatment is really unparalleled.

The next moment, the young master reached out his hand and gently touched Xinbao's little head: "But it's not wrong that clothes make the man. Xinbao, do you think you can make clothes for them?"
