The thirtieth day of the lunar month, Chinese New Year's Eve. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Early in the morning, Gu Jialuo packed up and came to the Qi family's warehouse.

"Grandma, the sacrificial utensils have been prepared and cleaned, please come and inspect them."

The housekeeper's mother made a blessing and said to Gu Jialuo cautiously.

Gu Jialuo snorted, walked up to the silver sacrificial vessel that was as smooth as new, bent down, took out a clean snow-white cloth, and gently touched the bottom corner of the vessel.

Then I opened the veil and looked at it, and it was clean and clean, without a trace of dust.

A complete set of more than a dozen pieces of silverware, Gu Jialuo checked them one by one. She didn't just look at the surface, but picked out some inconspicuous corners to examine.

The housekeeper's mother followed behind her, and when she saw Gu Jialuo so carefully, a wave of happiness immediately surged in her heart: fortunately, she didn't listen to the pouting of 'over there', thinking that the eldest grandmother was young and soft-faced, so she had a desire to underestimate her.

If you really neglect the errand, tsk, and look at the seriousness of the grandmother, the old face of most of your life will be pumped. She is not sure whether the eldest grandmother will take the opportunity to establish her authority, but the county lord will definitely not spare her!

"Well, it's good, mom really cares about things."

Gu Jialuo stood up, clapped his hands lightly, and praised with satisfaction.

The housekeeper's mother hurriedly bowed over, smiling so much that the chrysanthemums bloomed, "Yes, yes, this is the duty of the old slave." ”

"Good is good, mom doesn't need to push," Gu Jialuo instructed: "Please ask mom to arrange a few safe people to send these to the ancestral hall." ”

Gu Jialuo glanced at the row of people standing in front of the door of the warehouse, and dropped a sentence unhurriedly: "Thanks to my mother's weight, let me temporarily take care of the sacrifices, the sacrificial vessels used in the New Year, porcelain and other things, I am young, and I have never taken care of things seriously, I have no experience, you are all servants of the Qi family, and the errands are all old, what should be done, what should not be done, and how things should be done, you all know better than me, so I hope you will help more." ”

The housekeeper's mother said repeatedly: "Don't dare, don't dare, the eldest grandmother is too elevated to the slaves." ”

The maids behind her also responded, saying 'I don't dare to be'.

Gu Jialuo smiled slightly and said, "These days, I will work hard for everyone first." Rest assured, after the holiday, I have successfully handed over the errand, and I will thank you well. But—"

A pair of bright Danfeng eyes were rippling, even if Gu Jialuo didn't mean it, there was still an inexplicable majesty.

Gu Jialuo deliberately dragged out his tone, "If someone messes up the errand and makes it difficult for me to explain in front of my mother, then don't blame our family for having strict rules." ”

The housekeeper's mother and all the maids shrank their necks in unison, and said in unison, 'Don't dare'.

Gu Jialuo gave a few more commands, and then ordered the maids to go down on an errand.

Seeing that there was nothing to do in the storeroom, Gu Jialuo got up and went to the kitchen.

The big kitchen was already busy, the fire on a few large stoves was blazing, a few cooks were clanging to cut something on the board, and the little maids were shuttling between the two small kitchens.

Gu Jia Luo stood in the doorway and looked inside, the aroma of all kinds of food, and the white steam that steamed like smoke.

"Grandma, there is smoke and firewood inside, you are a noble person, you will inevitably get a smell when you go in,"

Mama, the kitchen steward, spoke to Gu Jialuo with a smile, and her attitude was very respectful: "If you have any instructions, just explain them to the old slave, and the old slave will definitely do his best to do it." ”

Ma's mother is the county lord's companion, the man is on an errand outside the second gate, and the family is very decent in front of the county lord.

Gu Jialuo's attitude towards her was much kinder, "Mama Ma is the person who can be used by her mother, and I am just a hundred relieved when you do things." ”

When the words fell, Gu Jialuo took another turn, "But, this is the first time I've helped my mother with housework, I've always been a coward, I'm afraid that I won't do something bad and disappoint my mother." Therefore, please ask Ma's mother to pay more attention to everything. Especially those plates and plates, which are all mother's dowries, good official kilns, if one is broken, a whole set can not be used. ”

The Qi family is not as good as in the past, and precious porcelain can be dropped casually.

Ma's mother heard Gu Jialuo's unfinished words, and hurriedly nodded, "What grandma means, the old slave can save it, and the old slave will definitely stare at those little girls." ”

Gu Jialuo bowed slightly, "That's good." If you really accidentally break something, there is a specific list and price code left and right, and whoever breaks it can let her pay according to the order. ”

Gu Jialuo's voice was very soft, but Ma's mother changed slightly when she heard it.

Pay as ordered? The porcelain that the county lord married was all official kiln boutiques, and any porcelain cup could be worth more than a dozen taels of silver.

And the monthly money of these subordinates, the highest (such as her mother) is only two dollars of silver, and the minimum is only five hundred dollars.

If it is really paid at the original price, they will not be able to receive monthly money for several years.

Hearing this, Ma's mother didn't have the slightest intention of underestimating Gu Jialuo, and after respectfully sending Gu Jialuo's master and servant out, she trotted back, beckoned a room of people over, and sternly admonished him several times.

Coming out of the big kitchen, Gu Jialuo went to Xuanrui Hall.

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps behind me.

After a while, Huixiang chased after her, "Grandma, as soon as you went out on your front foot, there was a maid on your back foot looking for Sister Ziye, and the two of them sneaked out of the yard and muttered in the corner for a while." ”

Gu Jialuo's footsteps didn't stop, "Do you recognize that girl?" ”

She had already vaguely guessed in her heart, but she still wanted to verify it.

Huixiang tilted her head and thought for a while: "It's a bit of an eye, the slave maid once saw it in Dongfu." ”

Sure enough, it's really a person who is very cautious!

Gu Jialuo smiled coldly, "What did that maid do besides talking to Ziye?" ”

Huixiang hurriedly said: "The slave was about to say, she stuffed Sister Ziye with a purse. It's just far away, I can't see it really, and the slave doesn't know what is in the purse. ”

Naturally, it will not be gold and silver naked, but something harmful.

Gu Jialuo didn't say anything, and was silent for a moment before he said, "Got it, you did a good job." That way, you hurry back and keep an eye on her. ”

Huixiang agreed, and hurried back to the Agarwood Courtyard.

“…… Grandma, Ziye she, she-" Ziwei's face was a little bad, she and Ziye lived in the same room, and their friendship on weekdays was also good.

Ziye was obsessed with Qi Shenzhi, Ziwei was the first to find out, she felt bad at that time, before returning to the master, she secretly didn't know how many times she persuaded Ziye.

It's a pity that Ziye is like a demon, there is only one Shen Sanye in her eyes, and she only listens to the advice of her sisters.

I was just a little confused before, but I didn't delay the errand in the end.

But now, Ziye dares to help outsiders calculate their own masters, this is the rhythm of death.

Gu Jialuo's smile was cold, and her eyes were even colder, "This is her own choice, and she will suffer the consequences." ”

Although Gu Jialuo has been in modern times for four years, she is still an ancient person in her bones, and the slave and maid are just a 'slave maid' to her.

Gu Jialuo is not a vicious master, and if a slave or maid makes a mistake or even betrays his master, he only needs to be punished according to the rules of the family.

Ziye is a maid given to her by her grandmother, so it is more convenient, she can directly send someone back home to the old lady.

"......" lips squirmed, and when it came to the pleading in her mouth, Ziwei still swallowed back.

After entering Xuanrui Hall, the county lord of Qinghe had already cleaned up and was explaining things to a few henchmen.

Qi Minzhi was also in the house, sitting on the other side of the Luohan bed with his younger brother Qi Hengzhi, and the two little ones were talking about something.

Seeing Gu Jialuo coming in, Qi Minzhi and Qi Hengzhi hurriedly came down and saluted together, "I've seen my sister-in-law." ”

Gu Jialuo smiled: "Sister Min and Brother Heng, hurry up." ”

Only then did the two straighten up.

Qi Hengzhi is ten years old this year, he looks quite like the county lord, the little boy is very white and delicate, and he is a completely different type from Shangwu's eldest brother Qi Jinzhi.

As the old saying goes, when the seven-year-old didn't sit at the same table, Qi Hengzhi saw his sister-in-law come in, and it was not good to stay here any longer, so he said to the county lord and withdrew.

"Everything?"

After the county lord finished explaining the errand, he sent the mother-in-law out, and then spoke softly to Gu Jialuo.

Gu Jialuo stood aside in a regular manner, "It's all ready." ”

The county lord was satisfied: "What a capable and good boy." This year is the first year you have come to our family, and something like that has happened in our family, alas, you have to pay special attention to the Chinese New Year this year......"

Gu Jialuo listened carefully, and the county lord gave an explanation, and she agreed.

There are many things on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the county is in charge of a large family, so naturally it will not be idle.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had only been talking for a while, and there was a housekeeper mother talking back and forth outside.

Seeing this, Gu Jialuo couldn't bother anymore, so he took his leave and went out.

Back in the Agarwood Courtyard, Qi Jinzhi was not there, he should be following Qi Lingxian outside the second gate at this time.

"Big Grandma, Big Grandma,"

Hui Yun ran in panting, leaned over to Gu Jialuo's side, and muttered quietly.

Gu Jialuo raised his eyebrows, "You read that right?" She did go there? ”

Hui Yun nodded vigorously, and a layer of sweat beaded on the tip of her small nose.

"It's a matter of saving me."

The corners of Gu Jialuo's lips rose, but there was no smile in his eyes.

It was getting late, the festive red lanterns had been hung up, and the sound of firecrackers sounded in the streets. The eldest princess led the men and women of the two provinces to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors.

The Qi family has no title, but the rules are still there, and the ancestor worship is also carried out in strict accordance with the conventions and meticulously.

The two brothers, Qi Lingxian and Qi Lingyuan, looked at the tablets one by one, and then looked at the slightly simple ancestral hall, and couldn't help but tears rolled down their eyes.

The other men and women also had mixed feelings, and their emotions did not recover until the end of the ancestor worship and when everyone returned to the main hall of the central axis to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was very rich, and the family gathered, but there was not much joy and festivity.

From the eldest princess downwards, everyone thinks about their own thoughts, and eats quietly at a meal.

"Forget it, you don't have to get together this year to celebrate the New Year, let's go back to our own yard." The eldest princess waved her hand with a lonely expression and announced the end of the banquet.

Gu Jialuo and Qi Jinzhi followed Qi Lingxian and his wife out of the main hall, preparing to go to Xuanrui Hall to keep the New Year.

As soon as he went out of the door, before he went down the steps, Qi Shenzhi chased after him and stopped Qi Jinzhi and whispered a few words.

Gu Jialuo looked at it coldly, and said in his heart: Tsk, the show is about to be staged! (To be continued.) )
