Chapter 172 (1/2)
Make sure there is no problem with the accounts.
Next, we will start to arrange for the next few days.
The woman in charge of the mansion came to the meeting hall to answer questions, ask for instructions, and take the right cards
It was so many and complicated, involving all aspects, that it was not over until dinner time.
Until tomorrow morning, we have to keep busy.
”After a busy day, everyone is tired. Big sister, ladies and gentlemen, let's call it a day and continue tomorrow. After dinner, we should go back to our rooms and have a good rest. Tomorrow must be busier than today. ”
Gu Zhen said: ”the second sister should also take care of herself. You have just come back from the palace and are busy with the housekeeper. I'm worried that you can't bear it
Gu Jiu pursed his lips with a smile, ”thank you for your concern. You're right. I have to take good care of myself. Well, I'll go back to my room and have a rest. ”
The crowd dispersed.
Gu Yue walked at the back of Gu Jiu, and then looked back at the meeting hall. Finally, he snorted and turned away.
Back to Zhilan hospital, Gu Jiu is tired to be paralyzed.
Xiaocui reported to her, ”Miss, when you were busy in the Council hall this afternoon, aunt Bai came by. When the maid asked her what was the matter, she did not say it
Gu Jiu remembered that he had not seen aunt Bai for a long time.
”Aunt Bai is going to have a baby soon,” she asked
According to the time, it should be born at the end of next month. But it may come earlier. ”
Xiaocui said, ”I heard from the women that Aunt Bai has a sharp stomach. This baby must be a boy. He also said that Aunt Bai's good days are coming. When she gives birth to a son, the master will favor her more than before. ”
Gu Jiu chuckled and said with deep meaning: ”my wife is really generous. She not only sent people to take good care of aunt Bai, but also gave the best food and clothing. If aunt Bai gives birth to a son, it will be wonderful. ”
”The girl said the opposite.” Qingzhu is a straightforward girl.
Gu Jiu smiles but does not speak.
Green plum said: ”white aunt's affairs, the maid thought that the girl had better not interfere. Otherwise, if anything happens, it will be on the girl. ”
Gu Jiu thought, ”that's right. Xiaocui, next time aunt Bai comes again, you just send her away. I'm not happy with her. ”
”I'll take orders.”
……
The next morning, Gu Jiu got up early. After finishing the internal affairs, he went through the corridor from the corner gate to the Marquis house.
The Marquis was in a state of melancholy.
In a few days, Gu Mei lost a lot of weight and her eyes were black. I'm afraid I didn't sleep well these days.
When she saw Gu Jiu, she was excited, ”little sister Jiu, you can come here. With your help, I can have a rest and sit down to drink.”
”Sister Mei, what can I do for you? You are welcome to tell me
Gu Mei said in a hurry: ”please keep my eyes on the kitchen and the tea room for me. The kitchen lady didn't try her best to make a running mat at home. She made a lot of troubles and made people laugh
Gu Jiu should come down, concerned: ”Jia there is no trouble Mei sister?”
Gu Mei shook her head. ”I'm fine. It's mainly the elder brother. The Jia family is very rude to him. The elder brother was accused of being in debt to his sister-in-law, and he was silent, and we were not allowed to defend him. I'm really holding back.
The elder brother-in-law's heart, white elder brother's body also should not let the dirty water. He will marry again in the future. If his reputation is bad, no good girl will marry him. Those who marry him are not in the right mind. ”
Gu Mei sighed deeply.
The female elders in the family are all crying in the palace, unable to get rid of themselves.
Male elders go out early and come back late. They don't care about the affairs of the house. All their energy has been occupied by the affairs in the court.
Jia's funeral fell on Gu Mei and others.
Because of this, Jia family has a lot of words.
It's too shabby and lack of respect to criticize Hou Fu's funeral for Jia.
Gu Mei complained with Gu Jiu for a few words. Before she finished speaking, a servant girl came over.
Gu Mei leaves in a hurry. Gu Jiu takes Gu Zhen and Gu Shan to help with the kitchen and the tea room.
The kitchen of Hou's residence should be in good order. The women in the kitchen should work hard when they get a job.
However, Gu Jiu saw that it was a slow down. Some people just sit on the threshold and eat melon seeds. They don't think about the running water table. They don't have enough food and wine. Where to put aside the Houfu's face.
Gu nine tiny frown, ”this is how to return a responsibility?”
No one answered her.
The wife of Hou's house doesn't need to give Gu Jiu face at all.
Or Gu Mei sent her servant girl pan chun to solve the doubts.
”I tell you, Miss Er, you've been busy since the twelfth month and have been busy until the first month. Finally, I hope to have a rest for a few days. As a result, my grandmother is gone at this time.
There is a water table in the house to entertain the guests who come to offer sacrifices. Everyone has to be busy from morning till night, and they don't even have time to breathe.There is resentment in everyone's heart. With the old lady, the ladies are not in the house. This is what it looks like. ”
Gu Jiu smiles coldly, so it is.
Gu Zhen and Gu Shan are both somewhat empty. How do they manage this situation? There should be no way to manage it. Or you can deal with it.
”Second sister, sister Mei has sent us a hard job. It's not easy to do. ”
Gu Shan also said, ”second sister, I'd better ask sister Mei about this. Listen to sister Mei. ”
Gu Jiu asked the servant girl to look forward to spring: ”is everything in the kitchen and tea has the final say?”
Pan Chun said, ”my wife gave the job to my girl, and my girl gave it to Xiaojiu. According to the law, small nine girl said everything about the kitchen. ”
Gu Jiu nodded slightly, ”so good. Bring me the kitchen account book. I don't need any other months. I just need to know how much money is left in the kitchen book this month. ”
Looking forward to the spring immediately took out the card, let the little servant girl go to the cashier's room to take the account book.
Here comes the account book, and they bring the chairs and benches.
Gu Jiu in front of the kitchen woman's face, picked up the abacus to account.
The sound of the abacus was beating on the kitchen ladies. They looked at each other, unable to understand what the second girl of Gu's next door wanted to do.
Of course, Gu Jiu is quick and good-looking, which really shocked the servants of Hou's house. But it doesn't work.
The women of Hou's house still don't sell Gu Jiu's account.
After Gu Jiu finished the account, there was still a lot of silver left on the book, which was enough.
Her eyes swept from each face, ”Hou's house is going to arrange a funeral for the eldest and youngest grandmothers, and the kitchen needs to prepare water seats. You are so lazy that you don't even need a reward, which makes the princes of Hou's house lose face in front of the guests.
I don't expect you to listen to me. But I'm going to ask you more. Can you do your work with your heart? ”
Everyone was silent, no one paid attention to Gu Jiu's question.
Gu Jiu sneered, ”good, I know your attitude. It seems that you are going to go on working at a snail's pace.
Pan Chun, holding the pair of cards, went to the book and spent one hundred Liang silver.
Qingmei, you and panchun go to Gu Yu with the silver and ask him to come forward and invite a group of cooks and helpers who can make water table for the Hou's house. Tell them the salary is negotiable.
