Chapter 91: Housework is a lot of worries
"Do you really want to remove him?" Bai Ko came to be interested.
"Recently, Wen Gushan has lost face several times in a row, and his errands are not good, and he is slower than you in writing a menu, the old lady already has some thoughts, but he has not made a big mistake after all, and next year is the promotion competition for the manager to be promoted, and it is possible to keep him until that time. Failing the contest and losing the ministry is a good reason. ”
"The maid understands that after all, the old lady can't use Wen Gushan's charge of adultery to remove him, and spreading it will only damage the reputation and majesty of the housewife, but since you want to remove him, the reason can always be found."
"It's so easy to say, you give one? Show me how calculating you are? ”
"Third Young Master, do you know that Wen Gushan is a long-standing smoking gun? He has a long wooden tobacco stick, which he smokes every day, and smokes first-class tobacco leaves. How much does he have per month? ”
"You're implying that he smoked money?"
"Wen Gushan has a family, and he has to take money to support his family every month, and he doesn't know if the rest of his hand is enough for him to smoke, and he has been deducted for a month in recent months, where does the money for his smoking come from? Given at home? ”
"Of course, he will say that it was given by the family, the treasury has only been renovated for a short time, and the filial piety banquet is approaching again, it is not appropriate to make the people in the house unstable at this time, and if you want to remove him, you must have irrefutable justification."
"Third young master, you don't smoke, and the eldest lord and eldest lady don't smoke either, so you didn't catch the real hint of the servant."
"Hey! Do you have explicit and implicit words in your words? Say it! ”
"Wen Gushan is a smoker for many years, this sentence means that he has very strict symptoms of smokers, which will cause his sense of taste and smell to dull and degenerate, he has long lost the qualification to be a cook, as long as you get close to him, you can smell the smell of tobacco leaves on his body, not the smell of oil smoke."
"He's a smoker, but that's a disadvantage?"
"It's a big shortcoming, not to mention his sense of smell and taste, his lungs are not good, there is phlegm in his throat every day, there is bad breath, and when he speaks, others have to hold their breath."
"That's it! Stop it! It's disgusting! ”
"Third Young Master, this is a good reason, right?"
"Why didn't you say it earlier! He specializes in serving the old lady! What a disgusting person! Gu Yun screamed frantically.
"Third Young Master, this is the first time we've talked about the topic of removing Wen Gushan."
"You're trying to say that you didn't mention it because I didn't ask? Are you still reasonable?! ”
"Third Young Master, don't get angry first, hurry up and go to Mrs. Yuming, suspend Wen Gushan to quit smoking, and as for the old lady's daily meals, leave it to the maid to be responsible, right?" Bai Ko showed a sweet smile, "It's an honor for a maid to be able to cook for the old lady." ”
"for a long time, that's your real point!"
Gu Yun suddenly came to his senses, pointed to Bai Ko's nose, and suddenly had a feeling in his heart that he had been calculated by her unconsciously.
"Third young master, the maid is telling the truth, there is no nonsense, Wen Gushan really has the symptoms of a smoker, he really accepted Mengmei as an outer room, they are in love with each other in the east kitchen every day, the third-class cooks work time, but Mengmei can stay in the pantry with Wen Gushan, and only come out when everyone is busy."
"You wait for me, and I'll settle accounts with you when I come back."
Gu Yun pulled his legs and rushed to the corner door of the garden, Bai Ko sat on the ground for a while, and then stood up with the support of Mei Lun and them, went back to the room to get clothes, wash her hair and take a bath, and they told Bai Ko that when she went to practice martial arts before, the third young master had already sent someone to the east kitchen to ask for leave for her.
The eldest lady learned such disgusting news from her son's mouth, and she was sick to her stomach as if she had swallowed a fly alive.
"Madam, let's hurry up to the street to invite a doctor, and say that in order to make the filial piety banquet clean, we must ensure that everyone in the east kitchen is in good health, but anyone who finds that they are not good will be taken out and temporarily suspended, and when they will be cured and when they will come back."
The eldest lady agreed, and Pang's mother personally sent someone to do it, and she must deal with this matter before the east kitchen starts cooking, and Wen Gushan must not be allowed to get involved in the old lady's diet again, and the other housekeepers and cooks must also find out if they are sick.
"How did you end up talking to Bai Ko about this?"
"Isn't this trying to share the worries of my mother and find a legitimate reason to remove Wen Gushan." Gu Yun coquettishly next to his mother, "I talked a lot of nonsense, and found that it was best to start with health problems." We didn't know it because he was talking a few steps away in front of us, and only the people in the kitchen knew what was wrong with him. ”
Gu Yun's tongue bent, and she didn't contribute Bai Ko to her mother in the end, especially since she didn't say a word about punching herself last night.
"He must know that he is not good, he used to run to the old lady quite diligently, and he personally delivered any new dishes he cooked, so he really hasn't taken the initiative to go to Rong'en Hall for a long time."
"Years of smoking have damaged his sense of smell and taste, and he can't cook new dishes, so naturally there is no reason to show his face in front of his master." Gu Yun sneered, "Health reasons, it's really an impeccable reason. ”
"Look, that's the advantage of talking to people a lot, they know a lot of things, you don't know, they just say something and it might be a flash of inspiration for you. Especially the people around you, send them around and send them around, they are your eyes and ears who know the big and small things in the house, otherwise you don't know anything about the following, and the treacherous slaves will dare to deceive the master. ”
"My son knows, and I will definitely call them well in the future."
"You are already the age of Chengding, so your mother is no longer in charge of you, let you manage Wenling Courtyard by yourself, after you marry a wife, she is not sensible when she first arrives, you are responsible for leading her to be familiar with the life of the family and take charge of housework, if she has any questions, she must ask you first, if you are a hands-off shopkeeper, you don't know, how do you ask people to respect you? For my mother, I have to die of shame. ”
"Okay, okay, mother, this is all in the future, don't talk about it now."
"Yet? After the filial piety banquet is over, your eldest brother and your third sister will have to marry one another, your second aunt has been crazy in the past few years, although the family is harmonious on the surface, in fact, I know that she is a little complaining about why your grandfather did not split up immediately after the funeral. You are the grandson of the world, the other grandsons serve filial piety for one year, and the granddaughter serves filial piety for five months, if the family is divided at that time, your eldest brother and third sister will be able to do happy events in the new home, at least not delay your third sister out of the cabinet, she is eighteen years old this year. ”
"That's no way, not separating the family was agreed at the beginning, and the second aunt should go to the second uncle if she complains."
"You clearly know that your second uncle ignores this, he attaches more importance to the benefits of living in the Guogong Mansion, not to mention that as long as you live here, you can enter and exit from the main gate to marry a daughter-in-law and daughter, and others will also add glory to his face when they talk about it. Speaking of which, I also want to split up as soon as possible, and I feel comfortable when I hear someone call you the eldest young master, obviously I am the eldest son of the eldest son, but I can only be called the third young master, I am not happy. ”
"Mother, mother, don't be like this, we should sympathize with the third sister, okay? Don't worry about this unnecessary chore. ”
"It's not that I'm annoying, it's the fact that I can't pretend to be blind here. Your eldest brother is only in his early twenties, and he will attend the Spring Festival next year, so it makes sense to wait a little longer for his marriage. When your grandfather's situation was not good, your third sister was not in time, and the people who intended to marry were all watching, and when they learned that our house was not divided into families and served filial piety in the long house, they immediately turned their heads to find another family, and now which man of the right age does not have a marriage contract, do you say your second aunt is in a hurry? ”
"It's useless for us to be anxious about this, when my father and uncle decided not to separate, they didn't discuss it with us."
The eldest lady sighed and stretched out her hand to poke her son's head, "I warn you, if you marry a daughter-in-law in the future, you must not learn from your second and third uncle's faults and make the family uneasy, see if I don't encourage your daughter-in-law to clean you up." ”
"Mother! My future daughter-in-law has no shadow yet, can you condemn me first? Gu Yun dodged his mother's hand, found a moment to jump up and was about to slip away, "Mother, I'll go to the east kitchen first and wait for the doctor to come over, so as not to let them be verbose and uncooperative." ”
The eldest lady didn't say enough, but she ran away as if the back of her son's buttocks was on fire.
"Hey, this kid, I can't sit still when I talk to him about something, I haven't asked him what kind of girl he likes."
"The young master is at the age of shyness, when he is a few years older, he will be in a hurry without his wife's urging." Pang's mother said with a smile.
The eldest lady was amused by Pang's mother, but after a while, she was worried about what to do with the old lady's meal at noon, if Wen Gushan was temporarily suspended due to health problems, she must inform the old lady and rearrange a special chef for her.
Pang's mother is not too worried about this, without Wen Gushan, there are also stewards and first-class cooks, and there are groups of substitutes, but she also has something to do, and after saying goodbye to the eldest lady, she rushed to the second gate connected to Jicheng Hall, waiting to meet with the doctor invited on the street and go to the east kitchen.
