Chapter 263 (1/2)
Aunt sun was a little nervous.
However, Gu Jiu's next sentence dispelled her worries.
”I don't know where is the list prepared by my aunt? Can you show it to me? ”
”Yes, but...”
Aunt Sun took out a folded piece of paper from her arms and spread it out. It was full of names.
”Please have a look at it, madam.”
Gu Jiu takes over the list with a smile.
On the paper, the handwriting is elegant, like the words written by a little girl.
She looked at Aunt sun. ”Is this written by Auntie?”
Aunt sun subconsciously wanted to shake her head. When she came back, she quickly nodded, ”it was written by the maid.”
Gu Jiu smiles and lies without making a draft. How did she hear that Aunt sun couldn't read, but her daughter Chunjuan could read and write.
However, Gu Jiu did not expose aunt sun.
She looked at the names on the list first.
Oh, no, the names in front of them are all the maids Liu Zhao had to use, such as the names of the maids, Qin players and chess players.
Chunjuan wants to take this opportunity to get rid of dissidents.
Gu Jiu put up the list and said with a smile, ”Auntie is really loyal. You can rest assured that I will carefully consider your list. ”
On hearing this, aunt sun was very happy.
She was very enthusiastic with Gu Jiu and suggested, ”if it's not convenient for you, madam, you can give it to the maid. The maidservant promised to drive those little cheap hooves out of the mansion, so as not to spoil the atmosphere in the courtyard. ”
Gu Jiu said with a smile, ”I will not bother you. Several little yellow men around me are worried about nothing to do, so let them exercise this time. ”
”Madame is thoughtful. Then, the maidservant will leave first? ”
”Xiao Cui, send my aunt off for Mrs. Ben.”
”OK! Madam, this way, please
Xiaocui holds aunt sun and sends her out.
Green plum laughed, ”madam, Auntie sun is selfish.”
Mother Fang said, ”according to the maid, this list is not made by Aunt sun, but by the dead girl Chunjuan.”
”Mother Fang's eyes are like a torch.” Gu Jiu smiles and lights a candle on the list and throws it into ashes in the brazier.
”This list, even if you don't use it, can be used as a reference.”
Gu Jiu shakes his head, ”don't refer to this list. I believe that the young master will have his own opinions on whom to abolish. Are you all packed? ”
”It's ready.”
”Let's go.”
At the second gate, get on the carriage and get out of the palace and go directly to the Zongzheng temple in the West.
When he arrived at Zongzheng temple, he came out not to meet the officials who had been familiar with twice before, but to a strange young official.
”I have seen Madame Zhao.”
Gu nine accident, she looked at the young officials in front of her, ”do you know my wife?”
The young official laughed, ”the lower official has also drunk his wife's wedding wine.”
Eh?
Gu Jiu can't help but look at each other carefully.
In her twenties, she is young and does not need to be. She is very good-looking. If you look at the shoes he is wearing, you should have a good family background.
But there was no one in her memory.
The petty official did not betray Guanzi, and said directly: ”the official's surname is Chen, Chen Chongwei.”
Gu Jiu suddenly realized, ”it's cousin Chen. How can cousin Chen work here? ”
The Chen family is the mother's home of Mrs. Gu, who has passed away, and Mr. Gu's grandfather's home. There are still contacts between the two families, but only in the generation of Mr. Gu.
In Gu Jiu's generation, there was little contact. Perhaps the elder brother Gu ban is familiar with the Chen family after all.
But the people in the second room, except for Mr. Gu, have never dealt with the Chen family seriously.
She remembers that when she got married, Mr. Gu did invite the Chen family to have a wedding reception.
Chen Chongwei said: ”I have been in Shaofu for two years. Half a month ago, I came to the Zongzheng temple under the orders of the prime minister. Madame Zhao is here to see the young master Zhao. Please come here. ”
”Please, cousin Chen. How are you these days, young master
Chen Chongwei led the way in front of him, saying: ”except that he can't be discharged from the hospital, the rest are OK.”
Gu Jiu asked again: ”has anyone been to Zongzheng Temple recently?”
All the fifteen people in Chongwei's family said, ”the emperor has been to Chongzi's house. In addition, people from the palace have been sent here
Oh?
Does the emperor intend to release people?
”Here we are. Please come inside the imperial edict, and the lower officials will not go in. ”
Gu Jiu nodded, ”thank you, cousin Chen.”
”Madame Zhao is very kind.”
Deng Cunli stayed to talk to Chen Chongwei.
Gu Jiu walks into the courtyard with his servants.
The old locust tree, when I came last time, was still bare. It's coming back, it's sprouting.
Gu Jiu immediately laughed.”Madame? Here comes the lady
I wash ink exclaimed, a face excited.
The door of the main room opened from inside, and Lin Shuping, the inner servant, came out.
”See Madame.”
”How are you, young master?”
”The young master is waiting for his wife inside.”
Gu jiutibu, walking into the main room.
Liu Zhao sat on the ground and was writing hard before the case.
He did not raise his head, directly asked: ”today is not the first day of junior high school, but you came, but something happened in the mansion?”
Gu Jiu sat on the ground and sat opposite Liu Zhao.
She glanced at the content of Liu Zhao's writing, which seemed to be a game theory.
She said, ”I seldom come here. You don't even look at it.”
Liu Zhao laughed, the tenderness in his eyes seemed to overflow.
He stopped writing, finally willing to look up at Gu Jiu, ”jealous?”
Gu Jiu directly threw him a white eye, ”I'm not a careful woman. I'm jealous all day.”
He also said it was not careful.
Hum!
In Liu Zhao's mind, Gu Jiu is the smallest woman.
He took Gu Jiu's hand and missed it.
”Why don't you come here at this time? Is there no money in the government?”
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and laughed, ”you are really clever. There is no money in the house. The father and his wife decided to cut the cost and cut people. Ten percent of the staff have to be cut off in every yard. Let me ask you, who can be cut off and who can't move? ”
Liu Zhao was suddenly moved and wanted to pull Gu Jiu into his arms.
However, as soon as his eyes changed, Gu Jiu knew what he was going to do.
”You can't mess around. When can you go out? ”
Liu Zhaoyi cavity hot emotion is extinguished, he bowed his head and smile, Gu Jiu still likes the evil scenery.
After laughing, he said, ”we have to wait a little longer, but it should be soon.”
”You haven't said, who are you going to abolish?”
Liu Zhao's men and women's servants add up to 60 or 70 people. With Gu Jiu's servants, there are nearly 100 people in the east courtyard alone.
According to the requirement of 10% of the staff, at least 89 people have to be eliminated.
How to draw up the list depends on what Liu Zhao means.
Liu Zhao asked with a smile, ”it's rare to come here. Are you so eager to leave?”
He grabs Gu Jiu's hand and his strength suddenly increases.
Gu Jiu frown, some pain, ”you scratch me.”
Liu Zhao raised his hand and caressed Gu Jiu's cheek. The little villain was as hard as iron. I'll teach you a lesson when I go out.
He took up his strength and gently held Gu Jiu's hand, but he didn't let Gu Jiu break free.
It was a fine day, and the sun was shining on them.
The light is so strong that Gu Jiu feels that he can't see the person opposite.
Only feel the lips gently touched, is the familiar breath.
It's just, it's a little out of breath.
By the time she was finally able to breathe, the sun was hidden in the thick clouds.
”Maybe it will rain.”
Gu Jiu suddenly made a noise.
”I can't bear to see you in the rain.”
Gu Jiu's cheek is crimson, smelly man, can't be lighter.
Liu Zhao laughed. ”I'll give you a list, and you'll cut people according to the list.”
Gu Jiu nodded, ”don't worry, I will handle the matter.”
