Some maids from wealthy noble families were literate.

So, wouldn’t it be enough to have a literate maidservant?!

Lu Zhen tried to find a husband, but with little success.

Now it is an emergency to find some literate maids first.

Then he picked two decent-looking ones to be his personal secretaries. Hey, he did what he said. Lu Zhen sent people to find Wei Ji and Pei Chen that night.

At this time, Wei Jian was in Pei Mansion.

Pei's ancestral home is Wenxi City, but he also has a huge mansion in Anyi City.

Pei Kui, the elder of the Pei family, was responsible for the affairs of the Pei family in Anyi City, and was naturally the one he received.

Therefore, Lu Zhen's messenger sent the news here

"Maid? Or a literate maid?"

Pei Chen was slightly surprised when he heard this.

But seeing that both Pei Kui and Wei Jian were silent, he did not dare to ignore the messenger and said hurriedly:

"We will satisfy the requirements of the Major General. We also ask the soldiers to rest in the mansion for a while while we prepare drinks.……"

But the ordering soldier clasped his fists and saluted:

"No need, I will go back now."

Pei Chen hurriedly called for someone to see him off.

After the messengers left, Wei Jian saluted Pei Kui and asked:

"Uncle Pei, what do you think?"

Pei Kui is nearly sixty, and his beard and hair are all white, but he is energetic and has an upright posture. He is obviously a rigorous and resolute person.

"This Lu Zhen asked for maids, so it would be okay to give him two. But

Pei Kui frowned and said:

"But I feel that he may have a big appetite and two are not enough."

Wei Jian also meant this, he said:

"Lu Zhen already has Diao Chan by his side. Diao Chan is rumored to be beautiful. He wants his maid not to be beautiful but to be literate."

Pei Chen said:

"Maybe he wanted the maid to serve Diao Chan?"

Wei Jian shook his head:

"He asked Diao Chan to disguise herself as a man and hide in the army. How could she find a maid to serve her? Pei

Kui said in surprise:

"In this way, Lu Zhen is not a lecherous person, which is rare."

Wei Ju said thoughtfully:

"I think Lu Zhen cares more about Guantian and mountains and forests at this time……"

Speaking of this, Wei Jian suddenly woke up:

"Yes, he is interested in government affairs in Hedong, so he wants to find a maid to assist in civil affairs"

"The literate maids were enough to help him organize information and files, measure and record land acres, and even verify the population. Pei

Kui looked moved and said:

"He is interested in government affairs, which means he wants to occupy Hedong and rule the roost."

"Bo Xi thinks that Lu Zhen really has this intention?"

Wei Jian said in deep thought:

"I can't be 100% sure, but Lu Zhen is by no means an ordinary reckless man."

"Just wait a few days and see what he does. This time we will have two maids per family."

"I believe that the Liu family, Xue family, etc. have also received the news, and they should also give it away."

Pei Chen was a little worried and said:

"Other families should also have two people. Is our two people too few?"

After all, the Pei family and the Wei family in Hedong are the heads of local aristocratic families.

Pei Kui's voice was a bit colder:

"Two people are enough, but it is not easy to raise literate maids, and there are not many of us in the Pei family."

Pei Chen didn't dare to speak, but he could operate better.

Anyway, we decided to send two people, so let's compare the quality and speed.

That night, Pei Chen personally took two maids and several carts of supplies Arriving at Lu Zhen's house.

Lu Zhen had gone to bed, but when he heard Pei Chen's arrival, he got dressed to meet the guests.

When Pei Chen saw this, he was deeply frightened:

"It's really a sin for me to visit late at night and disturb the general's rest."

Lu Zhen saw the two maids sent by Pei Chen at a glance. They were about the same age as Hua'er, fifteen or sixteen years old.

They were also as delicate and delicate as flowers, and both of them were generous. They all saluted to Lu Zhen. , the crisp female voice made Lu Zhen feel a little bit uncomfortable

"No problem, no problem, good! Haha~"

Lu Zhen pulled Pei Chen to sit down and sighed:

"Subsets are truly my savior."

Pei Chen immediately stood up in fear, said hurriedly,"I don't dare take it", and then introduced to Lu Zhen:

"These two women were raised at home and had a clean family background. They had not been given names, so they bothered the general to give them names."

One of the two girls has a round face, big eyes, generous and dignified, and is called Baoqin.

The other has an oval face, Liu Yemei, and is a little shy, and is called Si Qi.

The two maids hurriedly thanked Lu Zhen, and looked at Lu Zhen with a little more sparkle in their eyes.

Pei Chen He immediately praised:

"An elegant general must have thousands of books in his chest and thousands of scriptures in his belly!"

Lu Zhen liked hearing Pei Chen's flattery very much, and nodded with a smile:

"I also want to read more books, but there are none."

Books are precious. There are only a few books in Lu Jun's military camp of 7,000 people.

Nowadays, ordinary aristocratic families only have a few hundred books.

It is said that Cai Yong, a great scholar in the world, has thousands of books in his family, but Lu Zhen is now beyond his reach.

Therefore, Lu Zhen Now I can only borrow some from the Hedong family.

Pei Chen understood what Lu Zhen meant and immediately said:

"Ziji is a concubine in the clan and has only a dozen books in his collection, which he would like to dedicate to the general."

"In addition, if the general can wait, I would like to copy hundreds of books in my home and give them to him."

"Oh~"

Lu Zhen was overjoyed, you are such a wise guy.

"I like Ziji very much. How about becoming my chief clerk?"

When Pei Chen heard this, his expression was happy at first, then worried, and finally he thought:

"There are a lot of things going on in the clan below, so I'm afraid I can't keep them apart."

It can be seen that Pei Chen really wanted the position of chief registrar, but he still refused.
