Chapter 126: Plan Ahead

Mother Xu hurriedly stepped forward to stop Cuiyu and said, "Cuiyu girl, you wait, you wait." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info It's really not that the slave wants to shirk this, it's really that there are too few people in Yixin Courtyard now, not to mention doing other work, it's the work in Yixin Courtyard, it's all one person who has to do two or three people, it's really a lack of skills. ā€

Seeing Mother Xu say this, Cuiyu directly turned her face and said, "We can't control this, Grandma Eighth ordered it like this, so we can only pass the word like this." Otherwise, it is okay to use silver to top it, anyway, other people will not be able to complete the task, and use silver to top it. ā€

When Mother Xu heard this, she sneered in her heart, but she pretended to be confused, and said: "If it is with silver, this is much easier, but you have to allow the slave maid for two days, it is really that the slave maid does not have so much authority to move the master's silver, you also know, our young lady's silver is all in the hands of the Chen family." Later, the slave maid will let people go to the Chen family to tell the master, and when the master agrees, they will start collecting the money tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so can you see it?"

Cuiyu was stunned on the spot when she heard this, her eyes widened, she looked at Mother Xu, and said in her heart: "This Mother Xu actually wants to make trouble to the Chen family, and the eighth grandmother asked the slave maid of Yixin Courtyard for silver, but she didn't ask the master of Yixin Courtyard for silver." ā€

Cuiyu hurriedly said: "Mother Xu, it's not like this, did you always mishear the slave maid, the slave didn't ask your master for silver, the slave maid was ordered by the eighth grandmother to let the slave maid of Yixin Courtyard do a part for Xi Dong." ā€

Mother Xu was puzzled: "Miss Jade doesn't know, our current Yixin Courtyard is different from before. Each of us has to do the work in advance, and everyone has to do the work of two or three people, not to mention the embroidery work, that is, we don't have the time to do our own clothes and pants. ā€

Cuiyu had already asked Xiaohong to inquire before she came, and Xiaohong whispered in her ear: "There are few people in Yixin Courtyard, it seems that there are less than twenty people now, and Miss Sanfang went to Chen's house and took a few with her." ā€

Cuiyu sighed and said: "We have no choice, even the second lady has put down her words, she eats and relies on the Dong family on weekdays, and she can't do anything in the Dong family, so she doesn't even want to do this idea." We are the slaves and maids of the Dong family, not the masters of the Dong family, and the Dong family is not supporting the ancestors. Look at this, we can't help it. ā€

Mother Xu said: "Actually, the slaves and maids that the girl said all understand, but in the Yixin Courtyard today, in addition to the slaves and maids, there are only the slaves' niece Hanxiang, and Hu Pozi, Zhang Pozi, and Lin Pozi are the sons of the Dong family. The others were all bought by the young lady, and now they only listen to our young lady. Even if the slave and maid hide this matter today, it will not be spread tomorrow, and the latter will reach the ears of our young lady. At that time, who knows what the young lady heard? The slave and maid felt that it was better for the slave and maid to let people talk about it, so that they would not talk nonsense. ā€

Where has Cuiyu encountered such a thing, she doesn't know what to do, Cuiyu said: "That, in this way, I'll go and return you to the eighth grandmother, as for whether you want to do it, we don't count." ā€

Mother Xu hurriedly thanked her and watched Cuiyu leave.

Cuiyu not only didn't do a good deed, but also made a fuss, she muttered as she walked, "This Dong family's third room is really a difficult bone to gnaw, and they have a lot to do." ā€

Xiaohong said: "Isn't it, don't be angry, girl, there is still the eighth grandmother to call the shots for us." ā€

Then there was bad news about the sixth young master, and the matter of Yixin Yuan was put aside for the time being.

Because Hanxiang was not there that day, he didn't know much about it, so he didn't tell Dong Ruyi.

Now, except for Yixin Courtyard, the entire Xidong is full of complaints.

It is true that each person in Yixin Yuan has to do the work of two or three people.

But they also got two or three people's monthly silver, and the master of Yixin Monastery never treated any of them badly in terms of money.

Although they worked hard, they were happy.

Except for Sister-in-law Li, who bought these seven people, the others often go out, so they know everything about the Dong family best.

Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Hu's words show that there is basically no big problem with them, but the fact that they met the purple cuckoo next to Aunt Gui seems to be a little unusual.

After all, except for today, in the previous four days, they had encountered it four times, and there was nothing else except this one that was somewhat frequent.

Mother Xu said: "The two of you go and sit on the side first, and wait for us to finish asking the others, and then talk about the wisps of thought." ā€

Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Lin went to the side worriedly and waited.

Sister-in-law Li, the new kitchen daughter-in-law in the house, has no big problems, she doesn't go out much, she is now in addition to cleaning the kitchen, sorting out the dry goods and ingredients in the kitchen, is to raise some chickens and ducks.

The only time she went out was because Xu's mother and Xianglan pooled money for everyone to make a tooth sacrifice, she went out to buy food and ingredients, after all, some things in the small kitchen were for the owners of the third room to eat.

Sister-in-law Li went out early in the morning, and she didn't bump into anyone in the morning.

Because Xidong is thrifty for a while, the people in all the houses and courtyards are all harsh and unpresentable, so people often pool money together to buy some food to satisfy their hunger.

When Sister-in-law Li came back, she met a few other mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who also went out to buy.

She followed the crowd, just politely answered other people's questions, and she wouldn't take the initiative to speak if others didn't ask her.

It's just that she said in advance that she had just entered the mansion and didn't know anyone, and there were many rules in Yixin Courtyard, so she didn't dare to go out and hang out.

Other mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law asked her out to eat, but the food in the house was too poor, but fortunately, the work they bought was the most oil and water in the kitchen, and they were not very poor.

Sister-in-law Li didn't agree, nor did she disagree, but just said that she was a newcomer, and she had to do all the kitchen work in Yixin Courtyard alone.

She is really lacking in skills, and she really doesn't dare to go out of the yard.

She was afraid that if she accidentally bumped into the master or the girl or something, she would add to the trouble because she didn't recognize anyone.

Whoever listens to this, everyone believes it, for the matter of Yixin Courtyard, they all know that there are few people in that courtyard, basically one person has to do the work of two or three people, and the old man has no spare time to take newcomers around the garden to recognize people.

Coupled with the food given by the big kitchen now, they are all thinking that Yixin Courtyard may have a harder time.

Thinking like this, the other mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law all said goodbye and walked away one after another.

There was nothing wrong with Sister-in-law Li's words, and there was nothing wrong with the people she met.

Mother Xu said: "You go to the kitchen to get busy, let's start the fire ourselves in the future, and the big guy's food will all have to work hard for you." ā€
