Chapter 1017: 005 Picking a Maid (Second Update) Chapter 1017: 005 Picking a Maid (Second Update) Dong i ca in and gave a curtsy before leading in the servants brought by Princess Anle, one by one.
The one in the lead was an old man of around fifty, his face adorned with a smile, his eyes spirited, very astute.
Xia Zheng tily muttered in Lin Yuan’s ear, “Zhou Yang, one of our stewards, is very shrewd but also a genuinely nice person.
I’ve never heard of him doing anything wrong.
My guess is they probably want him to be the butler.”
Indeed, Princess Anle said to Lin Jiaxin with a smile, “This is Butler Zhou Yang.
You can let him temporarily manage the household affairs.
If he doesn’t suit you, you can replace him later.”
The people given by Princess Anle were undoubtedly capable, and Lin Jiaxin had the sense to recognize that, smiling and nodding, “I trust the princess’s judgnt.”
Princess Anle laughed very happily, “Just as long as you don’t think I’m overstepping.”
“How could we?” Lady Liu hurriedly expressed her gratitude, “We’ve just arrived in the Capital city, strangers in a strange land.
If not for the princess and Xia Zheng looking out for us, we would be completely lost.
In the end, we should be thanking you!”
Her words greatly pleased Princess Anle, her smiling eyes glancing aningfully at Lin Yuan, “We’re all family now, no need for such talk.”
With that look from Princess Anle, Lin Yuan raised her head to look at the sky as if it had absolutely nothing to do with her.
Tian Hui couldn’t help but laugh and suddenly rembered all the support she’d received from Princess Anle originally, feeling sowhat emotional.
It truly was a great fortune to have a mother-in-law like Princess Anle.
With Butler Zhou settled, a few more people were introduced to Lady Liu and Lin Jiaxin; these were all chosen by Princess Anle.
By Lin Jiaxin’s side stood a young man nad Wang Lu, in his twenties, extrely clever.
Lady Liu was assigned an elderly nanny with the surna Zhang and a young married woman in her early twenties nad Hai Tang, married to Wang Lu.
Lin Yuan was very comfortable with Princess Anle’s arrangents.
In the Capital city, there were maids longing for the chance to climb into their master’s bed, especially those who served close to the Madam.
Princess Anle deliberately assigned an older nanny and a young married woman to Lady Liu, presumably to avoid such scenarios.
Although Lin Yuan had a lot of confidence in Lin Jiaxin’s character, there was no resisting those maidens with ulterior motives.
Even if they couldn’t actually get into his bed, just the trouble they could cause Lady Liu would be irritating enough.
She didn’t want her parents to deal with such romantic entanglents in their old age.
Princess Anle turned to Lao Fan, “Elder Zhen, what kind of person would you like to choose?”
Lao Fan was sipping his tea with pursed lips.
Hearing her words, he rolled his eyes and looked towards Xiao Linshuang, “With this little wolf cub with , I’ve got enough on my plate.
Another one?
No thanks, I’d still like to live a couple more years!”
Xiao Linshuang, seeing her master look at her, initially thought he was being considerate and didn’t want anyone else.
She hadn’t expected this response!
Her joy was imdiately dashed, and Xiao Linshuang pouted, “Master, you should find more people.
The Capital city is so nice, and I don’t have the ti to stay at ho every day to keep you company!
I want to go out to eat, drink, and have fun!”
“You want to go out and have fun, is that it?” Lao Fan slapped Xiao Linshuang’s forehead and threatened, “Don’t forget what you promised .
If you don’t listen to , I’ll reveal that you’re my disciple.
When people co knocking on your door to challenge you, let’s see how you manage to eat, drink, and have fun with all that hassle.
If they don’t annoy you to death, I might as well change my na from Zhen to Fan!”
After being threatened by Lao Fan, Xiao Linshuang shrank her neck and kept quiet.
It wasn’t that she was afraid of people coming to challenge her; it was just very annoying.
She hadn’t even had the chance to explore the Capital city.
Even if she did accept challenges, it would have to wait until after she’d had her fill of fun.
Lao Fan didn’t need any servants, so next was Lin Yuan and company.
Dong i smiled at Lin Yuan, “Miss Lin, the princess has selected so clever and well-behaved girls.
You all can pick whoever you like.”
Lin Yuan nodded and looked at the dozen or so young girls standing in the room; indeed, each was bright-eyed and clever, well-behaved.
Plus, although they were all pretty, there were absolutely no seductresses, indicating that Princess Anle wasn’t a careless household manager—those potential crises had been nipped in the bud.
“The princess’s judgnt is indeed excellent.
Yuanyuan finds all of them quite agreeable,” Lin Yuan gratefully glanced at Princess Anle, then waved to Lin Wei and the others, “I’ll let them introduce themselves first, and you can rember the ones you like.”
