Chapter 272 (1/2)
The kitchen steward asks Gu Jiu to complain.
”Madam, there are many things in the kitchen. Once the staff are cut off, it will be even more busy. Please take it back. ”
Gu Jiu looked at Mrs. Zhu, ”it's the Lord and the princess who decided to abolish the staff. There's no way to change it. If you are not satisfied, go and tell the princess
Zhu's heart is full of fury. If I can talk to the princess directly, why should I come to see you.
She tried to say, ”there are so many things in the kitchen every day, from morning to night. The two girls, Qingzhu and Xiaocui, saw with their own eyes that the maid absolutely did not deceive. All of a sudden, the kitchen was too busy. After a while, you may have to rearrange people to work in the kitchen. It's better to use skilled hands than to use raw ones. ”
Gu Jiu looked at Mrs. Zhu with a smile. ”There are many things in the kitchen. It's not fake. However, no matter how busy we are, we can't be busy enough to abolish a few people.
Every yard has been cut by 30%. I heard that the fourth young master used to have eight dishes and two soup for each meal. Now, the fourth lady is in charge of it. Each meal is changed into four dishes and two soup.
Every courtyard eats less food every day, so your kitchen should be more leisure than before. If you're busy, you'll have to do it twice. Don't do it once. ”
Mrs. Zhu's face looked like a pig's liver. ”The lady really knows everything. But can the men and women decide who should be dismissed? ”
Gu Jiu stares at each other and smiles softly, ”it's not impossible for you to decide. After all, you are the kitchen steward, and you are most familiar with the inside and outside of the kitchen. But you'd better show my wife the list first. ”
Zhu Po Tzu was so happy that she directly reported the names of several troubling servants.
Gu nine a listen to the name, a clear smile.
As expected, everyone is taking this opportunity to eradicate dissidents.
”You don't have a good list. These people, as far as I know, have been working hard. There is nothing wrong with it except that your mouth is a little bit broken and I like to tell you about it. ”
Mrs. Zhu was embarrassed, but she was still arguing, ”madam, the maid is really not selfish. I want to do a good job in the kitchen, but these people are always against the maid, so that nothing can be done well. It's impossible to get rid of the kitchen, madam
Gu nine cold hum a, facial expression a cold, ”you are threatening this madam?”
”I dare not.”
Zhu did not dare to say that, but she did not think so.
She secretly turned her mouth, what big lady, no power, really think that she can make decisions?
Gu Jiu sneered, ”if my wife has to leave these people, what do you want?”
Mrs. Zhu said, ”the maid is really powerless. I'm afraid the kitchen is not willing to do anything.”
Gu Jiu picked up her eyebrows and laughed, ”in this way, your ability is really unbearable. You can't even manage a kitchen. What qualifications do you have to be a kitchen steward. Mrs. Ben, you might as well cut you off and replace yourself with someone who has the ability to take care of Mrs. Ben's kitchen. ”
Mrs. Zhu's face changed. ”The maid is an old man in the house and has been working in the kitchen. There is no one in the whole family who knows the kitchen better than the slaves. ”
”What? The kitchen is a place to cook, not to compete for qualifications. Since you can't manage the kitchen well, you can go home and provide for the aged. ”
Gu Jiu's face is serious and never shows mercy.
But Mrs. Zhu said, ”madam, you can't lay off your servants. The maid's daughter married mother Qin's nephew, and she went to see mother Qin and the princess. ”
”Tough slave!” Mother Fang yelled.
Gu Jiu waved her hand, indicating that mother Fang didn't have to worry.
She looked at Mrs. Zhu. ”Do you think you are important, so important that the princess will scold Mrs. Ben for you? Who gave you your face?
My wife's first daughter-in-law of Wang's mansion dismissed a servant, so I don't believe who dares to hit Mrs. Ben's face.
If you don't believe it, you'll try to see if my wife can clean you up.
Come on, drag her down to me, check her greedy ink, how she satirizes her private purse. We must handle this matter in a down-to-earth manner, and no one dares to overturn the case. ”
Xiaohuangmen Rongxin and huangzhuo bow down to take orders and drag Mrs. Zhu down.
At last she knew she was afraid.
She threw aside the two yellow doors and knelt on the ground with a thump. ”Madam, I know I'm wrong. I really know I'm wrong. I will not dare again. I will listen to my wife. The lady told the slaves to go east, and the maids would never go west. Please give me another chance. ”
Gu Jiu chuckled, ”can you manage the kitchen well?”
”Yes, yes! The maid must be able to take care of the kitchen
Gu Jiu snorted, ”it's too late. Before Mrs. Ben gave you a face, you don't want to, so now don't blame Mrs. Ben's ruthlessness. Put it off. ”
This time, Rong Xin and Huang Zhuo didn't give Zhu a chance and dragged her out.
Mrs. Zhu exclaimed, ”spare my life, madam! If you refuse to accept it, you should report it to the princess, saying that your wife is taking private revenge. ”
”Hold on!”Mother Fang called out two yellow doors.
Mrs. Zhu's face was pleasantly surprised, but she thought the flowers were bright.
Mother Fang stepped forward, raised her hand, and slapped and puffed her face.
Then he said, ”close her mouth. If you dare to talk nonsense again, cut her tongue. ”
Zhu Pozi's eyes widened and she couldn't believe it.
Gu Jiu bowed her head and laughed. Mother Fang came out of the palace. She was the real cruel person.
Huang Zhuo took a smelly sock and put it directly into Zhu's mouth.
Zhu Pozi was almost knocked over by smoke.
And then she was dragged away.
After dealing with Mrs. Zhu, Gu Jiu wants to clean up the kitchen, which is much easier.
She rearranged the management of the kitchen and promoted a few brave people.
Finally, the list of cuts was handed in. The first name on the list is Mrs. Zhu.
Princess Pei met the list and refused to comment.
Mother Qin accepted the benefits of Mrs. Zhu's daughter and naturally wanted to speak for her.
She looked for an opportunity and said to Pei, ”Niang, the first lady renovates the kitchen, which is also very cruel. Is it that she wants to establish authority and replace her. After all, she is the first daughter-in-law and should be a housekeeper. ”
Pei is not willing to listen to this, ”what is a reasonable housekeeper? Princess Ben is not dead yet. Don't forget, this is Prince Ning's mansion. My princess is the hostess of the palace. ”
Mother Qin pretended to be frightened. ”The maidservant didn't dare to forget what she said for a moment. The lady may not think so. As for the kitchen rectification, my mother specially arranged the errands for her, hoping that she could perform well.
As a result, she and Niangniang confront each other, specialized in dismissing Niang's people. It was arrogant of her to do so. It's a slap in the face
Pei frowned, then looked at the list of eyes, as expected, are some familiar names.
These people are not her people. But it's not right to say that these people are not hers.
Pei's family was in charge of the palace. He had a lot of resources and money in his hands. He didn't expect any oil and water in the kitchen.
Therefore, the people in the kitchen were not her cronies.
That is to say, it's easy to see. It's smart to look at it. Only then do we agree to put Mrs. Zhu and others in charge.
But what mother Qin said was also reasonable.
Gu Jiu a hand, cut off their own arrangement of people, clearly is the opposite to her.
She left the list to mother Qin, ”tell the eldest lady to make another list. Don't stare at that little profit all day long. ”
Mother Qin was overjoyed.
This matter, at least, has been accomplished.
”I will send someone to the east yard.”
……
East Court.
Several servant girls of Qingmei are filled with righteous indignation.
Xiaocui snorted, ”it must be mother Qin who made trouble from it. Mrs. Zhu's daughter-in-law is mother Qin's niece and daughter-in-law. It must be mother Qin's slander in front of the princess that the princess will not drop the list drawn up by her wife. ”
”What can we do?” said green plum. Mother Qin is the most useful mother around the princess. Her words are more useful than her wife's ten words. ”
