Chapter 468: Chapter 467 Selecting People, The Candidates_1

"This servant, Chunhua, is thirty-two years old, from Yongze County. I have two elder brothers, one elder sister, and three daughters at home. I am good at cooking, especially at making excellent soups."

"This servant, Qiuyue, is twenty-eight years old, also from Yongze County. I am the only child of my family. I... I am good at embroidery, with decent craftsmanship."

"This servant..."

The asking price for these older servant women was not high. A lifelong indenture contract only cost five taels of silver, including the money for registration at the government office.

In the end, Su Pan’er selected two older women with fewer dependents, four middle-aged men, and two strong laborers. Finally, she turned her attention to the remaining little maidservants.

There were about twenty maidservants left. Su Pan’er’s gaze moved slowly over each of their faces.

Some were charming and seductive, the type of women that men would find appealing at first glance.

Some were shy to speak, tears brimming in their eyes even before they let a word out.

Some looked boneheaded, just sitting there silently, appearing to be malnourished.

Su Pan’er’s brow furrowed as she scanned the crowd.

Everyone began to look anxious.

The three older women, in particular, were so tense that they even started to perspire.

In general, the most valuable in this kind of trade were the young girls who were like budding flowers.

Whether to be trained to serve future sons-in-law, to add fragrance to the master’s red sleeves, or for various other purposes, people’s attention usually focused on girls aged twelve to eighteen who were still innocent.

And these girls were usually the most valuable and earned the most silver!

The way Su Pan’er kept glancing at the faces of the sixteen- or seventeen-year-old girls, along with her slightly protruding belly, the Magpie Landing on Plum Hairpin she wore, her Pomegranate Tuanhua costume, what else was there not to understand?

And where was this?

This was the back office of the county office, you couldn’t be here if you were just anyone!

"My eyes are tired."

Choosing from these people, Su Pan’er just felt her eyes going tired!

Especially with a few seductive, fox-like girls constantly showing provocative poses, which made Su Pan’er wish she could just slap them!

Was this really the type of woman that these men liked?

Looking around, she couldn’t decide on anyone, so she simply turned to Jun Ruoxue for advice: "Younger Sister Xue’er, what do you think? Which one of these people is good?"

When Su Pan’er and Jun Ruoxue initially sat there, Su Pan’er seemed impatient, so none of the three older women dared to speak.

Since Jun Ruoxue looked like a more easy-going person, when they heard she was asked to help evaluate, the women hurriedly gathered around her,

Eager to promote their own girls.

"You really want me to choose?"

Jun Ruoxue was somewhat astonished, not expecting Su Pan’er to delegate this decision to her.

"Yes!"

Su Pan’er nodded seriously. She wanted to see how Jun Ruoxue would choose in this situation.

Jun Ruoxue’s bright eyes rolled around, and a bright smile bloomed on her face.

She stretched out her delicate jade-like fingers, clutching an embroidered handkerchief, and pointed at one girl.

"Choose her! Leave her behind!"

The woman Jun Ruoxue pointed at naturally beamed with joy and repeatedly kowtowed in thanks to Jun Ruoxue.

The rest of people all seemed disappointed.

Upon close examination, Su Pan’er had to admit that the girl Jun Ruoxue chose was indeed amongst the best of the lot; with a curvaceous figure, delicately painted eyebrows, a head of cloud-like hair, soft Wu-style language - she was truly a gorgeously soul-stirring beauty!

"Alright, let’s go with her."

Su Pan’er made the final decision at once.

She then selected a few seemingly honest women, paid the silver due and sent the three of them away.

Those left behind still stood at the edge of the flower stage.

The captivating beauty who spoke Wu-style soft language was incessantly chattering, until Su Pan’er glared at her, causing her to reluctantly shut up.

"Alright, all of you can leave for now, gather your things. Report back here in the afternoon."

Su Pan’er waved her hand and warned everyone, "Don’t think about running away! Don’t forget about your families. If you run away, none of them will be able to. Also, I may just be a fourth-rank bestowed wife, but following me will bring honor to your families. Off you go!"

Su Pan’er’s words immediately made the bought people happy!

The saying goes that even a gatekeeper in a prime minister’s house holds the seventh rank!

Following a fourth-rank bestowed wife, even if they are servants, their status naturally changes. In an instant, everyone left overjoyed.

Only the woman pointed out by Jun Ruoxue’s face slightly changed; she quickly lowered her head to hide her expression and followed the crowd out.

"She’s clearly a troublemaker!"

Su Pan’er was somewhat troubled now: having purchased an apparent Fox Spirit to keep by her side, would this be good or bad?

Jun Ruoxue merely laughed, "So what if she’s trouble? Can’t she help lighten your workload?"

Jun Ruoxue covered her mouth and laughed heartily.

Su Pan’er didn’t have the mood to entertain her, and made the excuse that she was tired and wanted to nap, and returned to the house.

But once she actually laid down, she tossed and turned, imagining Qin Yi being affectionate with the captivating beauty, wishing she could tear that woman apart!

But then she thought of her previous decision and forcefully suppressed her impulsiveness.

She forced herself to close her eyes.

In the afternoon, Qin Yi returned.

Naturally, he heard that Su Pan’er had bought some people and returned home curious to inquire.

Unexpectedly Su Pan’er simply handed him two almonds.

Left him completely baffled like an unsure monk.

Everything was perfectly fine when he left in the morning, why had her attitude changed by the time he came home at noon?

Could something he was unaware of have happened in the morning?

But Su Pan’er wouldn’t tell him.

Nor could he go ask Jun Ruoxue, so he had no choice but to keep his questions to himself.

"Pan’er, are you hungry? Should I get someone to bring some food?"

No response.

"Pan’er, are you thirsty? Should I pour you a glass of water?"

Still no response.

"Pan’er, are you tired? Should we go back to bed and lie down for a bit?"

These words made Su Pan’er fuming mad, like a kitten with its tail stepped on, she jumped up immediately!

"Lie down? Lie down you big-headed ghost!"

Glaring fiercely, she forcefully pushed him away: "Beat it, good dog doesn’t block the road!"

"I’m a good dog...no, I mean..."

Qin Yi was speechless, he really didn’t know what to say!

With a shift of his gaze, he thought of something else: "Pan’er, didn’t you say the winery had been open for quite some time? We haven’t been yet, why don’t we take a walk there now?"

Su Pan’er originally wanted to snap back at him, but thinking about how she hadn’t yet visited since the winery’s opening, she held back.

She glared at him, "Then why are you still here? Go prepare!"
