Chapter 79: Choosing an Attendant

Chapter 79 Choosing Attendants

After much deliberation, Lin Shuran came to the farm the next day. She felt that instead of finding some unfamiliar people to be Xu Mingchen's attendants, it would be better to choose a few children of similar age from the farm, like Dazhu, Erzhu and the others.

These children themselves are very familiar with each other and are trustworthy in terms of character and ability.

However, when Lin Shuran arrived at the farm, she did not first mention the matter of choosing attendants for the young masters of the Xu family. Instead, she found her fifth uncle first. She wanted to ask his opinion first.

Uncle Wu had just come back from hunting in the mountains. He had a new wine gourd around his waist, and there was even a red safety rope tied to the gourd. Lin Shuran just felt strange and took another look. When he came back to see Uncle Wu this time, she always felt that he had an eyebrow.

There are some differences between them, and they seem to be more melancholy.

"Those kids in Dazhu are a bit wild. Let them work as followers in a big house. Aren't you worried that they will cause trouble for you?" In Uncle Wu's opinion, Dazhu and Erzhu are used to living in the mountains and fields.

Rich families have many rules, and they may not adapt to them all at once.

"Then there's nothing to worry about. Ever since I married into the Xu family, the children I've seen the most are the children who get into trouble. I've been living with Dazhu's children at the farm for three years. They're honest and kind-hearted, and they're particularly clever and clever.

I think these children are not willing to be trapped in this mountain for the rest of their lives." Lin Shuran told his fifth uncle what was in his mind.

Last time Dazhu and the others followed Xu Mingchen to play football in Cuju Garden, Lin Shuran saw that they had no stage fright in the Cuju Garden where the rich and powerful gathered. They dared to fight and fight, and were neither humble nor overbearing. Their unwillingness to admit defeat really impressed her.

"Since you think so highly of them, then do what you want. After all, you are their master, and they dare not disobey your orders." Uncle Wu smiled. Lin Shuran was the kindest master he had ever seen.

, and she doesn’t like to force others, even if they are her servants.

Sure enough, Lin Shuran said next: "Then I still have to ask Dazhu and their parents for their opinions. If they don't agree, I will find some people elsewhere."

Uncle Wu nodded, then looked at Lin Shuran meaningfully, and then said: "Don't just think about the children of the Xu family. In these years, Chunxi has been the only one around you. That girl can do some small things to protect you."

It’s just a little bit worse.”

Lin Shuran prepared a separate carriage, clothes and snacks for Xu Mingfan, and also told him to prepare pens, inks, paper and inkstones. On the day of the exam, she personally sent him to the examination room.

But Uncle Wu still shook his head and said in a dull voice: "I'll give you someone in two days. I'll feel relieved if someone is by your side!"

"Don't be afraid. A good man should stand upright and protect his family and country. This is what you taught us, miss. Don't worry, miss, we will definitely take good care of the young masters!" Although Dazhu and the others had had trouble with the young masters of the Xu family before.

There are conflicts, but they have long since reconciled and become good friends who appreciate each other. Even if their identities are different, there is not much barrier between them.

"My dear, the fourth young master in our family is the youngest in this exam!" Chunxi stood on tiptoes and looked in the direction of the examination room. There were no candidates younger than Xu Mingfan who entered.

Xu Mingye didn't want to choose at first. He was only used to A-lang being around, but Erzhu took the initiative to come up and brought his rhubarb. A-lang and rhubarb looked at each other coldly, and actually squatted in a tacit understanding.

in one place.

"You are all familiar with Dazhu and the others. From now on, they will be your close attendants. Whether it is studying, practicing martial arts or living together, you must be together. Make your own choice!" Lin Shuran brought Dazhu and the others to Xu Mingchen and others.

Except for the youngest three, who do not need attendants, the other ten children each choose a servant to be their attendant.

Thinking that children know children best, Lin Shuran selected ten children based on Dazhu's reference. These children were originally servants of the farm and did not need to sign any contracts, so they followed Lin Shuran back to the General's Mansion.

"Miss, when the eldest young master and his friends go to the military camp from now on, can we follow them?" Dazhu's eyes showed a fiery light. He had long heard Xu Mingchen say that the children of the Xu family would be sent to the military camp when they reach the age of sixteen.

, and despite his young age, he has a pure heart of serving the country with loyalty since childhood.

Lin Shuran hurriedly asked who the fifth uncle was, but the fifth uncle refused to say anything more. She did not continue to ask. She was just surprised that the fifth uncle had never had contact with outsiders in the past three years. Who was the person he sent?

Lin Shuran didn't think too much, so she first found Niang Hui, the cook Dazhu's sister-in-law, and asked her if she would like Dazhu and Erzhu to follow Xu Mingchen and the others as their personal attendants.

Lin Shuran asked Dazhu and Erzhu for their opinions. They were very happy and expressed their willingness to serve Xu Mingchen and the others.

After choosing the attendants for the children, Lin Shuran asked them to go back to copying books, and the first exam for the boy was about to come.

Because these two groups of children often played together when they were in the farm, they knew each other somewhat. The ten people were quickly selected. Dazhu was most happy that Xu Mingchen chose him, so that three years later he would

I can follow Xu Mingchen into the military camp.

"I don't leave the house all day long, and I don't need anyone to protect me. Besides, when I go out, I always have the servant girl with me. It's good to have Chunxi by my side." Lin Shuran didn't mind it.

It also has a certain ability to protect itself.

Seeing that Dazhu seemed to be very enthusiastic about entering the military camp, Lin Shuran smiled and replied: "Of course, it's just that entering the military camp is not as easy as you think. You may even lose your life in the war. Aren't you afraid?"

When Sister-in-law Hui heard this, she knelt down gratefully to Lin Shuran. She could allow her two sons to get out of this mountain den and be a close attendant with the young masters. This was a good thing that was hard to find even with a lantern. How could she do it?

Refuse.

When everyone saw Xu Mingfan entering the examination room, it caused quite a commotion. Because they didn't know his true identity, they all thought he was just messing around. Many people even showed contempt in their eyes, thinking that a child with a yellow mouth was just here.

Just joining in the fun and causing trouble.

Lin Shuran also looked at the direction of the examination room. She was a person who had been in the examination room for a long time, but this was the first time she sent someone into the examination room. Xu Mingfan wanted to test her own reading skills. She felt that there was nothing wrong with giving it a try. After all, this was the

She needs to support the children in making their own decisions.

Lin Shuran waited outside until the first exam was over. When she saw Xu Mingfan running out of the exam room, a smile appeared on her face.

As soon as she saw Xu Mingfan, she quickly asked him with concern whether he was tired, thirsty or hungry. She just didn't mention whether he did well in the exam. She didn't want to put too much pressure on him. After taking the exam, she asked him how he did.

It doesn't matter whether it's good or not.
