Chapter 164: Guarding against the young master
After running all morning, and finally finishing all the things to be done in front of him, Bai Ko returned to the house, returned the horses, and walked along Babu Lane to Zhongming Courtyard, before entering the screen door, she was pulled by Aunt Su and asked her to hurry back to the house to see, this morning the gifts sent by people were about to flood the three rooms.
Bai Ko ran quickly to the back building, and the girls he met along the way all said that someone gave gifts, and they couldn't put it in the house.
When Bai Ko rushed into the back yard, she saw that a bunch of baskets had been placed under the porch, and she stood on tiptoe and twisted the cat into the hall, and the three narrow rooms were full of large and small baskets on the floor, which were even more exaggerated than the number of gifts she received last time she was appointed as a deacon in the ice cellar, and the quality of the gifts was also several notches higher.
The second-ranked steward in the inner house has this dignity.
Bai Ko changed her clothes, flipped through a few baskets in the bedroom, and actually found a few famous cards and heavy purses, the names on the famous cards directly matched the newcomers in her hands, which were gifts from their families, and there were also gifts from the families of the eight old girls, and there were also purses of different weights hidden under various items.
What is surprising is that Meilun and Meihuan's family also wrote a letter, asking Bai Ko to say a few more kind words in front of the son, they have not given up so far, they are still looking at other people's daughters, looking for rich, but they are still old-fashioned, either filling houses for middle-aged and elderly men or being concubines, and they never thought about letting their daughters marry into well-off families as yuan wives.
Bai Ko put the letter in the dowry, and then went out and called the old girls to go to her house to help clean up, and while she was talking, someone brought in two baskets.
With the experience of the last time, this time everyone moved faster, and the sorting was also very organized, the purses and name cards turned out were placed on the table, Bai Ko slipped away from the deceased's bedroom and took the family to sit at the table and count the money, and when the girls were finished, one of them gave one or two pieces of silver to make sweetness, and then naturally asked them to keep it secret and not to say that there was money in the gift.
The girls are all born in the family, they know very well what it means for others to stuff money in the name of congratulatory gifts, the twelve newcomers are still to be determined, this is the best opportunity for each of them in this life, there is no better errand in this house than waiting for the prince, the grandfather of the country is old, but the young master is just the right age.
And Bai Ko hates that his subordinates can't control their mouths the most, these four old girls still want to take this opportunity to rise to the second class, but they don't want to practice the emotional advantages they have been getting along with in the past few months, and take the sweetness, naturally Bai Ko said how they should respond.
The rice, flour, grain and oil in the gift were all moved to the kitchen pantry for everyone to eat together, and the rest of the daily necessities Bai Ko let the four of them pick them at random, and she kept the rest and slowly sorted them out before giving them away.
When Bai Ko went to the kitchen to instruct the girls how to put things, Pang's mother went to the stove to get boiling water to drink, and dragged Bai Ko to the corner to whisper, asking about Gu Xiaoyi, the fast-talking girl had already spread the news, and these rumors and rumors went around and spread to Jichengtang, which made the eldest lady a little worried.
Holding back her laughter, Bai Ko carefully explained what was going on with Pang's mother, which amused Pang's mother, but she was finally relieved, the young master was still the young master she watched grow up, not suddenly becoming a womanizer.
"Although this time it's just a show, but the young master is fifteen years old after all, and the boys at this age are more or less starting to move, I'll get you some medicine in a few days, you can keep an eye on it, don't let the young master get killed." Mother Pang regarded Bai Qiao as an older girl, and whispered about the young master's affairs.
"The girls are still children, do you need to watch out now? I think the prince has a sense of proportion. ”
"It's hard to say, you don't know, sons and brothers often exchange and give beautiful women, who knows when he will bring a beauty back."
"And this?! Well, then prepare in advance. Bai Ko was a little speechless, she really didn't understand the world of the first-class son.
After Mama Pang chatted with Bai Ko about some housework again, she took her hot boiled water and went to Jicheng Hall.
Bai Ko had nothing else to do all afternoon, so she first went to the school of the women's nursing home for a walk, but learned the good news that Bao's second sister-in-law was diagnosed with joy and took pregnancy leave, so she can come back next year to continue to work in the nursing home.
This young sister-in-law has practiced with Bai Ko a few times, and the two are quite close to each other, Bai Ko is naturally happy for her, and the nurses also congratulate her, and now she is also a big man in the inner house.
After saying goodbye to the female nurses, Bai Ko went to Yan Bo's side, took the book he showed her, and asked about the Zhao family by the way, Yan Bo suddenly became distracted, and only said that the man's family had encountered something, and he refused to say what it was.
Bai Qiao had no choice but to hope that Zhao Qi, who was unlucky as soon as he reached the stage of kissing, would not continue to be unlucky.
In the evening, Gu Yun returned home and brought back a pack of massage ointments with different medicinal effects and facial grease and mouth grease hand balm for cold weather, all of which were bought from a time-honored shop.
Not long after, Meizhang came back with the remaining bottles and cans, Gu Yun had already washed her hands and changed her face under the service of Xiaoyi and Hongshao, and sat on the Luohan couch outside the bedroom with a refreshing body, drinking tea and resting and waiting for dinner.
After the meal, the girls went to the back pantry to boil the bath water for the young master, Gu Yun continued to sit crookedly on the Luohan couch and listened to Bai Ko's report on the housework in the courtyard today, mainly how much money she spent on the street, that list was taken out, and Gu Yun grinned when he saw the amount of money on it, but he couldn't help but laugh happily when he saw the business reached with the bookstore in the end.
"Yo ho, Bai Ko, I can't see that you are quite business-minded. But what are you customizing with the bookstore? ”
"When you get the sample, you will know what it is, the shopkeeper is the brains are fast, and after understanding the sketch of the maid, the maid has this idea, and the maid is just pushing the boat down the river, otherwise the plate making fee is terrible."
"Is there a long wait for a sample?"
"No, soon, once the style of the whole page is determined, it will be typeset and printed, just use the end of the year to see how the market reacts, if it is really welcomed, the businessman will be decided, and we will buy it in the house, and give it a nine-percent discount."
"If it's not popular and the bookstore doesn't print it, will there be no more free twenty sets?"
"Yes." Bai Ko took out the note from his body and handed it out.
Bai Ko was a very successful businessman in her previous life, and of course she knew how to write a note to be watertight.
Gu Yun didn't think much about it after reading the content of the note, he just thought that Bai Ko was getting close to Uncle Yan, maybe he learned something from Uncle Yan.
"For next year's free twenty sets, young master, I can't say anything if I don't make any efforts."
"Then it's up to the prince to help."
With a smile, Bai Ko handed over another piece of paper, which was a letter written to her by her beautiful family.
"Meilun and Meihuan's family sent in, they haven't given up yet, maybe this is how their family loves their daughter, it's better to be a rich family's house filling and concubine than to be a well-off family's yuanmate."
"The girl under my hand is released to fill the house and be a concubine for the rich old man, where will I put my face in this life?!" Gu Yun quickly finished reading the letter and sneered, "Don't pay attention to them, you can accept the gifts they gave, things can't be done, young master, I won't allow it." ”
"Yes, Shizi." With this sentence, Bai Ko has a bottom in his heart.
(Starting tomorrow, there will be a three-day book city touch screen recommendation, and a new chapter will be added at 16 o'clock in the afternoon, asking for the growth of the collection.) )
