Uncle Ping frowned slightly when he heard this. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He is in charge of the affairs of the Abbot's Mansion, and he knows very well when to do something.
And Zheng's predicament, he also knows.
It's another thing to just know what you know, and whether you can help or not.
"How do you take care of the rest of the room?"
Uncle Ping looked at her and asked strangely.
"Madame asked the third lady and the girl to work together to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet together."
"All in all, it's all up to you?"
Uncle Ping shrugged his shoulders helplessly, everyone knows what kind of virtue Chen Zinan is, and Qingzhi, a thoughtful and well-thought-out person, can serve by her side for so many years without causing any trouble.
"It's just a matter of convenience."
Qingzhi smiled indifferently, she never complained to others, how difficult it was for herself, how difficult it was.
But if she doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that no one is distressed.
Uncle Ping stretched out his hand and pressed it on her head, and said a little sadly: "Over the years, it's really difficult for you, they all say that the hardships are sweet, and I don't know when your good days will come." ā
"Uncle Ping helps me take care of those disobedient girls, it's just bittersweet."
"You're going to suffer a lot if you work like this."
Uncle Ping shook his head, he really felt sorry for Qingzhi, he would be the same age next year, but because of his background, one was a daughter of the stars and the moon, and the other was struggling to make a living.
Qing Zhi looked at Uncle Ping and smiled, disapproving.
"The contradiction between the main house and the partial room of the third master has been around for a long time, and I have heard a little about the things of the past few days, thinking that it has nothing to do with me, so I don't want to care. But now this is a matter of Xiaoqing girl, so you can't ignore it, those calves have a lot of thick skin recently, and they should be cleaned up. ā
Qing Zhi listened, took out a stack of silver tickets from her arms, put them on the table, looked at Uncle Ping and continued: "The purchase of ingredients for dishes is the same as in previous years, and the extra money will be distributed to them as errands, and the layout of the banquet hall will not matter if it is put aside for a few days, but the arrangement of manpower should be determined as soon as possible." ā
She just briefly confessed, after all, in this regard, Uncle Ping's experience is superior to her.
Uncle Ping accepted the silver and nodded.
"I can't pour two glasses with you here, the handyman must not be enough, all the rooms must be involved, and I have to report them one by one."
The feast is approaching, and the difficulty is not to prepare delicious food and wine, but how to gather people's hearts.
Especially in a place like the Guozhang Mansion, where people are complicated, everyone has a little Jiujiu in their hearts, and they can't see that others are good, and they can't show it, and they may be safe and sound, but when it comes to important festivals, people who have Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts will inevitably want to make a little trouble.
For disobedient seedlings, they should be strangled in advance.
"Little Qing girl, although you are seeking a job in her position, you should always think about yourself, and you can't focus on Miss Nan everywhere."
Uncle Ping looked at her distressedly, and since he bought the mansion from Renyazi's hands, he has paid attention to this restrained and silent girl.
Everything is done perfectly, and all grievances are melted behind the smiling face.
The more this happens, the more distressing it becomes.
When Qing Zhi heard this, she looked at Uncle Ping with a dumb smile, thought about it, and then said, "Uncle Ping, everything I do, I think about myself everywhere. ā
"You stupid girl, you are still helping Miss Nan to speak at this time."
Uncle Ping shook his head, sometimes he didn't know whether Qingzhi was smart or stupid.
Qing Zhi didn't explain, stood up and said goodbye to Uncle Ping, thinking about where to go next.
Chen Kuang, the father-in-law of the country, has three wives and concubines, namely the old wife and wife Guan, and then the Lou family and the Zhang family; I heard that in the past, the wives and concubines of the three rooms often quarreled because of the competition for favor, but they were noisy, and they have come over all these years, and their children have already started a family and held their grandchildren, so the idea of competing for favor has faded, and now they are getting along with each other peacefully.
It is not difficult to coax the old lady, maybe with a little more means, it will be easier.
Thinking of this, Qingzhi returned to her seat, called Shangxi'er to hold the osmanthus pear juice honey together, and then walked to the banyan garden.
She didn't go directly to the old lady, but found Aunt Mei first.
"Aunt Mei, the osmanthus pear juice is ready, I asked Xi'er to bring it to you."
As she spoke, she gently pushed Xi'er's back, and Xi'er hurriedly stepped forward, held the honey and said, "Aunt Mei, this honey is sweet, can you try it?" ā
When Aunt Mei saw Qingzhi coming, she immediately smiled, took it from Xi'er's hand, and immediately opened it, the aroma of osmanthus kneading honey overflowed everywhere, she reached out and hooked a little, and held it in her mouth, and the sweet honey juice melted on the tip of her tongue.
"Tsk, the craftsmanship of the Qing girl is really good."
"It's not my credit alone, Xi'er has also helped a lot."
Qingzhi didn't like to invite merit, so she brought Xi'er over, not just to have one more helper, but to pave the way for Xi'er.
"yes, I can't see that this girl is also very smart."
Aunt Mei raised her head and looked at the well-behaved Xi'er, her eyebrows and eyes softened with a smile.
"Thank you, Aunt Mei."
Xi'er was still a little afraid of Aunt Mei in the end, and her voice was timid.
"Shouldn't the girl send me honey on purpose, is there something else?"
Aunt Mei hid the honey altar behind the Bogu shelf, turned to look at Qing Zhi, and said lightly. has lived to this age, even if he is not a human spirit, he is not stupid.
"There's nothing else to do, just prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, come over and ask the old lady if she has any special requirements."
Qing Zhi said casually, looking careless.
Aunt Mei came to her senses at this time, patted her thigh and said, "Look at my temperament, this year's banquet will be handled by Sister Nan and the third lady." ā
"Yes."
Qing Zhi still smiled faintly and nodded.
"It's been no movement, I forgot that there is such a thing, but it's not sloppy, come with me to see the old lady."
Aunt Mei said that, and hurriedly walked out of the door, Qingzhi followed behind with a smile, and motioned for Xi'er to follow with her eyes.
Not only Mama Chang, Qingzhi also plans for Xi'er.
Xi'er is already twelve years old, and she can't always be a handyman, she will always have to marry in the future.
And Xi'er is the betrayal of the Guozhang Mansion, that is to say, without consent, she is not even qualified to marry herself, and no one will care about the future of a miscellaneous maid, maybe she will delay her life.
So Qingzhi thought about it, take Xi'er to the old lady's room, the old lady is also older, and her mood is a lot calmer, and the treatment of the slaves and maids in the courtyard is not as harsh as other courtyards, as long as Xi'er follows the rules, there will be no problem.
Coming to the courtyard of the Banyan Garden, the old lady just woke up, and watched the girls plant some flowers and plants in the yard, and her mood was very good.
Seeing Qing Zhi coming, he smiled even more.
"What's wrong with the girl?"
"Qingzhi has seen the old lady."
Qing Zhi bowed to the old lady and said hello crisply.
"Is there something wrong with Nan'er?"
Qiaoxue on the side helped the old lady and sat down on the stone bench on the side, her eyes still looking at Qingzhi, and her eyes were full of kindness and love.
It's just that Qingzhi knows very well that this kind love is just because she is Chen Zinan's personal ring.
