Early the next morning, the treasury came to deliver the ingredients, and by the way brought a reply from Uncle Yan, which said that Zhao Qi's family already knew about each other and would wait until after filial piety to make an appointment, as for Zhao Qi's cousin, forget it, the family has some family background but the son is not well-educated, not a gentleman but has a problem with a gentleman, telling Bai Qi not to worry about this young man anymore, and to introduce a reliable one later.

Bai Ko told the two sisters the words on the letter as it was, Meilun was originally relaxed, but she was nervous again after being teased by her sister, Meihuan giggled, she didn't care about her own news at all, the young master will only let her marry next year, and some time is to find a good one.

After waiting for the third young master's breakfast, sending him out to school, Bai Ko changed his clothes and went to see Aunt Wu, and after practicing kung fu with Bao's second sister-in-law a few times, he went to the shade of a tree to drink water and rest.

Bao's second sister-in-law took out a small packet of homemade ginger candy from her purse and invited Bai Ko to eat, made of tender ginger soaked in sugar water, the taste is not as spicy as old ginger, and it is refreshing and appetizing in the mouth with a slice.

The two sat and chatted, and the sister-in-law told Bai Ko a lot about the personnel in the house, which errand was the one who knew who and what power, and Bao's second sister-in-law was the son of the family, these were all known since childhood, and now she is patrolling the house, seeing many people, and knowing a lot more gossip than the girls in Wenling Courtyard.

Chatting and chatting, Bao's second sister-in-law pulled out a fresh gossip again.

"Hey, Sister Coo, I heard that the Seventh Young Master has taken the ice and not returned the bag in the past few days?"

"yes, you know all about that?"

"Your ice cellar quarreled with the girl of the seventh young master over this matter, so many people saw it."

"The seventh young master's daily ice consumption is the largest among all the young masters and young ladies in the house, and the straw bags taken away have never been returned, so the ice cellar naturally has to ask, sister-in-law, do you say it is your duty?"

"Duty is duty, of course, but do you know where so many straw bags have gone?"

"Sister-in-law knows?"

Bao's second sister-in-law looked around, her face mocking.

"I've taken it to pave the floor."

"What?!"

"Don't lie to you, the patrolling women's nursing home saw with their own eyes, the straw bag with ice is so small, it's still brand new, how can you admit it."

"Where's the shop?"

"The courtyard where the servants live, the ground is a little potholed, and it is easy to accumulate water, so those old women will find some straw bags to spread the floor, and they used to ask the treasury for some broken bags, but this time I don't know what is going on to get new bags from your ice cellar."

"I always thought it was someone who took a fancy to it, it was a new bag, and I wanted to dry it and put something in it."

"Yes, there should be some to carry things, and there don't seem to be many bunks on the ground."

"Sister-in-law, I don't understand, why do you take it so calmly? Especially knowing that there is a deacon in the ice cellar, there is something that can be directly told to the eldest lady. ”

"You think they think too well, if they have the brain to think of this layer of power, they won't take your bag, in fact, it has become a habit to take advantage of it, and they think it's not a big deal if they think it's just a few pennies, and they think that the master won't pursue it if he knows it. Sister Coo, tell me honestly, did you report it? ”

Bai Ko was suddenly embarrassed.

"Sister-in-law, how do you know it's been reported?"

Bao's second sister-in-law looked at Bai Ko Zhile, "You don't know this, do you?" There are no secrets in the house, the more people want to keep the news secret, the faster it spreads, there are many people, there must be a lot of mouths, it is really as airtight as an iron bucket only the long room, the old lady is alone There is nothing to say, the second room and the third room are so happy, the most lively is the third room, the seventh young master uses more ice and is greedy for ice packs, who should not talk about it? What's more, there is new news about the ice cellar. ”

"yes, there are eight newcomers in the ice cellar."

I only gave them candy yesterday, and told them to keep it secret, and today I knew from other people's mouths that they had leaked the news, and Bai Ko felt that their mouths were faster than their own, but this is fine, there is a reason to change people, and the fault is successful.

"Be careful, there are a lot of people annoying you."

"Just for a few straw bags?"

"Yes, the straw bag is not out of your own pocket, and it is obviously a big fuss to report it." Bao's second sister-in-law poked Bai Ko's head, "You became a deacon at a young age, although you are nominally a substitute deacon, but the silver and rice you take are not reduced or deducted, and you are clearly a deacon." How long have you been in the house? How many days have you been the chef of the third young master? Who serves you, don't you say? ”

"The eldest lady just knew that I was too young to serve the public, so she gave me the title of acting deacon."

"It's useless, it's about this kind of interest, no matter how stupid a person is, he has to become a human at this time. Wait, for it is now known that the ice cellar has been filled with the deacon's silver, and that someone is going to snatch this errand from you. ”

"Just stopped for a while, and then again." Bai Ko was a little helpless and weak, and let out a long breath.

"Don't be discouraged, you are waiting in front of the third young master, you have to be reused by the masters, it is so easy to rob you of your errand, you can write and calculate, there are a few people in the family who have your ability, it is amazing that girls can write their names and count without making mistakes, and some small talents are really bought from outside."

"Okay, I know it in my heart, thank you sister-in-law for telling me so much."

"We are all our own people, and I want you to follow the light when you are developed, you can come over and chat with your sister-in-law when you are free, we walk back and forth in the house every day as a nurse, and others are transparent to us, but I don't know what they think is confidential, our sisters have heard a lot."

"Well, my sister-in-law will be my source in the future, and I will make food for my sister-in-law." Bai Ko deliberately looked at Bao's second sister-in-law's stomach with ambiguous eyes, "If you want any soup in the future, just look for me." ”

Bao's second sister-in-law is the new daughter-in-law who has only been married for a few months, although her stomach is not moving, she is sometimes a little anxious, but she can't resist being said by a little girl who is not in time, and she immediately blushes and raises her hand to pinch Bai Ko.

Bai Ko giggled and jumped up to dodge, ran to Aunt Wu to say hello, and went back to Wenling Courtyard.

Because the people who already knew about the ice cellar didn't keep their mouths shut, Bai Ko didn't want to go over and startle the snake again, if they found out that she had the intention of retreating, I was afraid that there would be some embarrassing scene.

It's better to save more than one thing, just go back and hand a note to Pang's mother, so as not to tear up with others and lose her status as a substitute deacon.

Isn't it to deceive her that she is too young to serve the public, and the deacon of the ice cellar does not need to serve the public, and only needs to do a good job of daily entry and exit records and summarize them monthly, except for the summer masters who want to use ice, the other three seasons of the ice cellar are actually quite deserted, and only the people in and out of the warehouse and kitchen.

The ice cellar that no one cared about before, now that the daughter-in-law comes in to work and has a consistent monthly payment, it has become a sought-after errand, and I really want to see how those people grab their deacon seats.
