Once everyone was in place, Steward Cao and Nurse Yun stepped forward to take a look, and both shook their heads after a glance.
Land Officer Yang knew at once that it was hopeless and waved his hand to send them away. However, Ms. Li Junior was persistent, believing that she was both good-looking and efficient.
She hurried forward and said, "Steward, Nurse Yun, I can do a lot of things, like cooking, washing clothes, making clothes, and taking care of people. Please choose me; I will do whatever you need."
However, Steward Cao and Nurse Yun didn’t even bother to look at her and waved their hands dismissively.
Nevertheless, Ms. Li Junior wanted to make a fuss, "Hey, tell me why I’m not good enough? I can do so many things, can you? Can you?"
Annoyed by her clamor, Nurse Yun casually glanced at her and said, "You’re not pretty enough to serve a master. You don’t have to be as beautiful as a fairy, but you should at least have a presentable face."
That remark struck Ms. Li Junior’s heart. She yelled, "Who are you talking about? Who are you saying isn’t pretty? You’re the pretty one, no wonder you give off such a flirtatious vibe. You wretched woman! You shameless wench!"
Nurse Yun had always lived in the prefecture and only dealt with people from big mansions. She had never encountered the persistence of country women, and her face turned pale.
Finally, two bailiffs approached Ms. Li Junior and drew the swords from her waist, which finally silenced her.
As she stepped aside, however, she kept glaring at Nurse Yun.
"Alright, now for the next group!" Land Officer Yang sighed at Ms. Li Junior’s behavior and called for the next five people to come forward.
Influenced by Nurse Yun’s remark, the following contestants tried to act more seductive. Unfortunately, none of them were particularly good-looking, so Nurse Yun and Steward Cao shook their heads again.
In the next group, there were finally a few young girls, but sadly they were all so unattractive that they couldn’t even be considered ordinary. And then it was Yang Lichun’s group’s turn.
Steward Cao and Nurse Yun couldn’t help but notice the lack of attractive girls in this village. Most of them sported married women’s hairstyles; the few girls they’d seen thus far were very plain-looking.
When they looked at the current group, they noticed one relatively attractive girl with fair skin, but she was already married.
Nurse Yun was about to dismiss them when Steward Cao pointed at Yang Lichun and said, "Not bad, let’s keep her." Overjoyed to be chosen, Yang Lichun practically floated on air as she walked.
Next up were Yang Chuxia and Ruoqiu.
Seeing the situation, Yang Chuxia noticed that Steward Cao and Nurse Yun’s eyes had brightened, even more than before.
"Not bad, not bad, let’s keep her!" Steward Cao exclaimed twice.
After recovering from her surprise, Nurse Yun pointed at Ruoqiu and said, "Though she doesn’t look as good as the other one, she’s passable."
Upon hearing that she was also chosen, Ruoqiu wasn’t as excited because she had a son.
"Nurse Yun, can I not be chosen? I have a child."
Unexpectedly, Nurse Yun replied, "Isn’t having a child better? When you become successful, you can bring your child with you, and they’ll have a bright future."
"Enough, no more buts." Steward Cao waved his hand, "There’s no need to look at the rest, they all look similar."
Hearing that the selection was over, those who hadn’t been chosen inevitably felt a bit unhappy.
