Chapter 148: No matter how much you do, you have to do it calmly
The next morning, when the third young master went out to school, and when Bai Ko went to learn to ride a horse, Pang's mother led a strong and powerful servant woman to Wenling Courtyard to move the boxes.
There is a small warehouse in the back cover building of Zhongming Temple, and the boxes listed on the list that will continue to be used but are packed are moved there, and the rest that are no longer used are moved to other warehouses to wait for unified processing.
The formal renovation of the courtyard only began after the death day, but fortunately, I thought that the third young master was going to move back to live, so all the rooms were emptied at that time, and it was a completely empty yard, and it was very convenient for the craftsmen to do things, and they worked for a few days in one go, and by the end of June, it was completely done, and even the flue of the earth dragon and the fire wall, which had not been used for several years, was carefully cleaned several times, and in the winter all the rooms of this courtyard would be warm.
Pang's mother's work efficiency is also high, Bai Ko came back from equestrian practice, and the packed boxes were all moved, leaving only the three necessary daily necessities in the main room and the girls' own packages not packed, and they had to wait for the young master to allocate the rooms of the subordinates before they moved their own things.
"Bai Ko, with you, you can really pick up things! Pang's mother and the servants said that the yard was moved so easily today, and the last time we moved out it was like a house. The girls smiled around Bai Ko.
"It's good to think of moving the yard as a move, keep what should be kept, throw it away, don't think that it may still be used in a few days, basically the items that will fall into this category will not have a chance to be used again. Wait for the third young master to come back and ask him when he plans to move his main house, whether he wants to clean up his study by himself, and settle everything that should be decided as soon as possible, we have other things to do, so as to save the energy of being involved in many places. ”
"What's the new errand? The festival will be next month, and it won't be our turn to prepare. ”
"Sister Meilun is going out to meet people, isn't this the right thing?"
"Ahaha!" The little girls laughed loudly, and Mirin's face was red as if it had been cooked.
"I've already sent a note to Uncle Yan before, just waiting for him to coordinate the day."
"Do you want to wait any longer? In another month, the young master will participate in the Autumn Festival, so it's not good to distract him at such a time. If Madame had known, she would have blamed us. Milun flinched a little suddenly.
"There is a small temple in Bajingfang, why don't you go there and meet directly? It's like sightseeing. However, there may be a lot of sons and brothers to watch the excitement at that time. ”
"No, no, don't, it's still after autumn, don't interfere with the young master's reading."
"Figured it out? After thinking clearly, I went to write a letter to Yan Bo and asked him to arrange the days after the autumn festival. ”
"Well, it's set after the autumn season, don't change it, whatever day."
"Okay."
Bai Ko went back to the house to change her clothes, wrote a new note for the girl to send to Yan Bo, and then she went to the east kitchen.
After Mengmei was officially transferred to the third room, the east kitchen was much quieter, everyone worked step by step every day, no one was a moth anymore, and even Aunt Nie complained a little that there was no fresh gossip and the days became boring.
But today, Bai Ko stepped into the east kitchen, and the cooks and ladies in the courtyard who had been quiet for a few days were chatting in groups.
Lu Doudou dragged Bai Ko to participate in the discussion of their small group.
"Wen Gushan wants to come back, have you heard?"
"No, when is the news?"
"Just this morning, it was said that it had been conveyed to the eldest lady."
"I don't know, don't be a liar."
"He said he had quit smoking, recovered from his illness, and could come back to work."
"How do you know?"
"His wife told the mother-in-law guarding the door at the back door, and there was a doctor's diagnosis as proof."
"Okay, I'll go back and inquire."
"Do you think he'll have another moth if he comes back?"
"It's hard to say, it's also possible that the family really has no money to use before he has to come back as soon as possible, we took so much reward money for the previous two banquets, and he is not a ghost if he is not red."
"That's right! Now that the filial piety period is over, all kinds of entertainment from the masters of the house have come, and we can get a reward of one hundred wen for a small banquet, if Wen Gushan comes back to continue to be the manager, he will definitely take the biggest head, and it will be a few taels of silver at a time, who doesn't want it! Lu Doudou felt that it must be this reason.
"Don't worry, wait for me to go back and inquire, our kitchen has finally been cleaned up, but don't make a miasma of smoke again."
The girls calmed down and stopped discussing the matter, and after a while the stewards came out to arrange errands, and everyone proceeded to cook lunch in order.
When Bai Ko finished her business and was free, Zeng Zhu dragged her aside, and the three stewards were very concerned about the news that Wen Gushan was coming back, and Bai Ko repeatedly promised them to go back and inquire about the exact news.
After cooking lunch, Bai Ko went back to Wenling Courtyard for lunch, and Meilun handed her a note from the second lady, asking her to cook a table of wine and food for the third lady's birthday on the 10th day of the seventh month, and also a new dessert, and some guests came to the house for dinner.
Bai Ko took the note and went back to the room and wrote three notes, one to ask Pang's mother about Wen Gushan's return, one was a recipe for the second lady, and the other was for Yan Bo to ask for a pure transparent crystal cup, making a small dessert for the third lady who can make a novice in the kitchen, and at the same time let people wash mung beans and make mung bean soup.
When Yan Bo sent someone to send a set of twelve white crystal cups, the second lady also wrote a reply to the contents of the menu, and there were a few dishes that were not too satisfied.
Bai Ko put the letter away for the time being, and didn't rush to reply, she went to make dessert first.
After the mung bean soup is boiled into a paste, add the fish bone glue and stir well, let it stand until it is cold, then add honey and mix well, then pour it into the twelve crystal cups, and pour the excess into a large soup bowl, and take it to the ice cellar for refrigeration.
Pang's mother's reply was delivered at this time.
The letter said that Wen Gushan's matter was true, and this morning he did ask someone to hand over a message to ask about the reinstatement, and now the eldest lady is not sure whether he has really quit smoking and recovered from his illness, and he is still hesitating.
Bai Ko immediately replied, asking Mama Pang to appoint a new doctor to Wen Gushan Haomai, his chronic lung disease caused by smoking for many years will be more severe in winter, it is a typical winter disease, if he takes advantage of the current dog season to treat the disease, it is also possible to get better, but the recovery is not so easy.
In the afternoon, when the third young master returned home, Bai Qiao also mentioned to him the matter of Wengu Mountain, as the temporary manager of Wenling Academy, who had already taken up his post in advance, of course, he had to report everything to the prince in the house.
For the day of moving the yard, Gu Yun set it on the days when he took the exam, so that he could sleep in Zhongming Courtyard on the night he returned home after the exam, and the girls also had plenty of time to pack slowly.
And the young master didn't care about Wen Gushan's matter at all, but when he heard that the second lady asked Bai Ko to prepare a birthday banquet and dessert for his third sister, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch.
