Chapter 104 Gao's House
Su Yan clearly remembered that Liang Yi had praised her for her beauty.
It had only been a short time, but she had already become "that woman" in Liang Yi's mind.
Su Yan angrily ordered two bowls of wontons, "Don't disbelieve me, I have a way to make him choose me!"
Liang Yi shook his head repeatedly, "If the housekeeper knew that he chose a good-for-nothing to go back..."
Fortunately, Mr. Gao is not short of money.
Today's process is consistent with the process Su Yan has seen before.
To register, one needs to fill out a form. Su Yan looked at it for a long time and said in embarrassment: "I can't read."
Liang Yi hid in the distance and observed.
Su Yan can’t read?
Did she have a brain injury?
The butler who was serious just now was now in a friendly mood, "No problem, you say and I'll write."
Su Yan gave a fake name, "My name is Su Mumu, and I have a lame brother."
The butler asked, "Where are the others?"
Su Yan began to wipe away tears. "My parents passed away early, and my brother is disabled, so he can't find a wife. We are the only ones who depend on each other. I originally wanted to marry Butcher Wang, so that my brother can have some money to live on. Without me, he can't do anything. I heard that working in Gao's house earns more per month, so I came here to try my luck."
The housekeeper smiled and said, "I wish you success."
After filling out the form, the housekeeper handed Su Yan a wooden sign with a number on it, which would be read out later.
The order of numbers is shuffled, so even if two people have just registered, they will not know each other's numbers.
Su Yan returned to Liang Yi, who muttered, "It's really interesting. It's just a matter of choosing a maid, but there are so many tricks involved."
Su Yan said: "They said they just changed it because they were afraid people would cause trouble."
Liang Yi sighed, "To be a maid for someone else, you still have to rush to work. What a world this is. But who is the lame brother you just mentioned?"
Liang Yi looked around, trying to find this "brother".
Su Yan stared at Liang Yi in silence.
Liang Yi: "...Me?"
Su Yan patted Liang Yi on the shoulder and said, "Remember to build a shabby house at the location I just reported. I've been here before and there aren't many people around, so it's not easy to be exposed. You can live in there for a few days and let Fengtu protect you secretly. Don't alert the enemy."
Liang Yi: “…”
If you are not careful, you will become lame.
Liang Yi still couldn't accept it. "There are so many women here, many of whom are pretty. How can you be sure you'll be chosen?"
Su Yan said: "Just wait and see, I am number 32, and the one who will be chosen in a while will definitely be me."
The farce continued all day.
There seemed to be more girls coming today than in previous times.
As dusk fell, the butler announced the result, "Number 32..."
The crowd dispersed in disappointment.
Su Yan in the crowd put away the sign and went to find Liang Yi happily.
The two went to the nearest inn so that they could talk.
"Why?? How can they pick the trouble so accurately?!"
Liang Yi was shocked.
Su Yan asked: "Do you want to know?"
Liang Yi nodded repeatedly.
Su Yan said: "I'm telling you, please do me a small favor."
Liang Yi said: "Even if you don't tell me, I will help you."
Su Yan: “…”
This man is morally superior to her, how hateful.
Su Yan explained: "I deliberately made my family background simpler and poorer. They have to deal with a missing girl, so they choose a poor family with few family members and fewer involvements. Once the girl disappears, it will be easier to deal with. Man Rong and Xue Yaoying are both from poor families. Although there are many people in their family, there are only these few people, and they are all ordinary people. I said, I only have a lame brother, who is absolutely at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and strength. If something happens to me in the future, they only need to deal with this brother who can't do anything. The most important thing is..."
Liang Yi listened intently, and seeing Su Yan's mysterious expression, he quickly moved over and said sincerely, "You go ahead."
Su Yan said: "I just look very good."
Liang Yi: “…”
＊
Su Yan is only responsible for participating in the "talent show", and the rest of the work is left to Liang Yi.
The next morning, Su Yan arrived at Gao's house at the agreed time.
The servant came to meet her and said that the room had been prepared.
Su Yan couldn't even imagine that the maid didn't live in the big bunk bed.
In the center of the mansion is a very exquisite garden, with two courtyards facing each other, which has a Jiangnan flavor.
The servant led Su Yan along the single-sided corridor and did not meet anyone along the way.
Although it is still early, such a large house should not be empty.
After walking for about an incense stick of time, the servant stopped in front of a small courtyard and said, "This is it."
Su Yan's character is reserved and shy. She whispered, "Please tell me where I live, brother?"
"They are all yours, live wherever you want," the servant said, "This is a new courtyard, and you are the only one here for now, so you can choose first. If other girls come to Gao's house in the future, they can choose other rooms."
Su Yan once again marveled at the grandeur of Gao’s residence.
But the more this is the case, the more it shows that there is something strange about Gao's house.
Su Yan had just moved into Gao's house, and asking too many questions would easily expose her, so she planned to live there quietly for a few days.
Su Yan chose a side room for convenience.
After the servant left, no one came to see Su Yan the whole morning.
According to the clues provided by Manrong, she should have been assigned the task of growing flowers by now.
It was not until noon that a middle-aged woman hurried to find Su Yan.
The woman said, "I am the manager here, my name is Yudong, everyone calls me auntie, you are not old, just follow their way and call me that."
Su Yan didn't dare to think too much, she said obediently: "Aunt, do I have any work to do now? I've been idle for the whole morning, doesn't Mr. Gao want me anymore?"
Su Yan's initial expression was not adjusted well and was a little distorted.
Following Liang Yi these days, it was really hard for her to pretend to be weak.
Even if the road ahead is smooth, the little princess will take the initiative to pick up the spear and attack. How could she be wronged?
Fortunately, Yu Dong didn't bother with her.
"Silly child," Yu Dong smiled kindly, "You have been selected, so we will not kick you out. Our master is easy to talk to. You can tell me if you need anything."
Yu Dong assigned Su Yan the task of cleaning the yard.
It’s a little more tiring than growing flowers, but not much more tiring.
Yu Dong also took Su Yan to the small kitchen, which was specially used to prepare two meals for them. There was even a private room outside the kitchen for them to eat.
Maids in the mansions are generally divided into several levels. The rough maids do the heavy work. The personal maids have a higher status and are treated better.
However, no matter how good the treatment is, it is definitely not as good as the treatment of the maids in the high-class residence. They have their own small kitchen? And a "canteen"?
Su Yan continued to play dumb, "It's so good to be a maid. I should have been a maid earlier."
Yu Dong smiled and said, "Silly girl, not every maid can enjoy this kind of treatment."
Su Yan's expression was innocent, "Master Gao is such a good man!"
The smile in Yu Dong's eyes faded a little.
"Anyway, just come on time from now on, do your job well and go back to your room to rest. I have things to do today, and I'll come back tomorrow to see what you are suitable for."
Su Yan pretended not to understand.
Yu Dong said: "Musical instruments, dancing, there is always something you can learn."
She gave a few more instructions and left in a hurry.
Su Yan didn't dare to walk around randomly, so he could only find out the details of his own courtyard first.
The reason why Man Rong lost contact is unknown. If she has been discovered by Gao's family, the people in Gao's family will definitely check who contacted her. Su Yan was too active and was walking into a trap.
The courtyard was too luxurious for ordinary people and was definitely not meant for maids.
The courtyard that Su Yan needs to clean is not too big and can be finished in half an hour. Yu Dong said that she only needs to clean it once a day, which means it is a high salary and she only needs to do one hour of work a day.
Finally it was evening and Su Yan finally heard voices coming from outside the yard. She walked out of the yard and saw many girls dressed the same way.
Maids in ordinary houses usually wear coarse cloth. The treatment in Shi Mansion is better, and the maids all wear cotton cloth. Silk and satin are used by the masters.
But the maids here were given short shirts and pleated skirts made of silk, and in bright pink. This didn't look like they were looking for a maid, but more like they were looking for a lady.
Su Yan also has such a set of clothes, but she doesn't like it very much because it is inconvenient for her to work.
In the yard, Su Yan had to try hard to control his thoughts.
She followed everyone to the "canteen".
Everyone else had a fixed seat. Su Yan was new here, so she randomly found an empty seat. As soon as she sat down, someone yelled, "This is Sister Chenyu's seat!"
Su Yan looked up.
Although everyone is dressed the same, you can tell who Chen Yu is at a glance.
There were two women standing on both sides of her. She crossed her arms, looking arrogant, like a young lady.
Su Yan looked at them curiously.
Huanyi said, "Don't you know the rules? The place you're sitting in is a Feng Shui treasure land, it belongs to Sister Chenyu."
Su Yan was silent.
She really wanted to agree, but she really didn't see what was good about this position. Her back was to the door, and she was worried that someone would attack her from behind.
Su Yan pretended to be well-behaved: "Sister Chenyu, I just came today and I don't know the rules. I'm sorry."
But I couldn't help thinking in my heart - "Feng Shui is really a mysterious science. Everyone will get involved in it. This Chen Yu... except for being older, there's nothing special about her, right?"
Chen Yu's expression suddenly changed, "What did you say?!"
Su Yan looked at her innocently.
The other maids lowered their heads in fear, not daring to argue with Chen Yu.
Huanyi said blankly: "Sister Chenyu, she apologized to you."
Chen Yu angrily said: "Is this an apology?!"
Saying that she is old is clearly a provocation!
Huanyi was very sure, "We all listened, it was really an apology."
Chen Yu: “…”
Damn it.
Even her maid said it was an apology, so it would be petty for her to continue to insist on it.
Chen Yu drove Su Yan away, and when he sat down, he glared at her with dissatisfaction, showing the majesty of a master.
Su Yan obediently changed to another position.
The little girl Qiu Shui, who was sitting opposite Su Yan, looked only fourteen or fifteen years old. She whispered, "Sister Chenyu has been here for several years. Don't mess with her. She has the hope of becoming Master Gao's concubine."
Su Yan: “…”
It turns out that the cow and horse roll has reached a new height.
