The four of them knelt together, Bai didn't say a word, the quiet in the room could even hear the sound of a needle falling to the ground, Sheng Xue saw that he went to the couch in the inner room to practice calligraphy, Fang Fuzi's words were good, this calligraphy still has to settle down and practice well. Sheng Xue saw that because she had done something just now, her heart was happy at the moment, and it was such a boring thing as practicing calligraphy, which immediately became interesting.

Compared with Sheng Xue's comfort, the first four people outside suffered a lot. Among the four people, Shi's mother, who was in charge of passing the dishes, took the lead in opening her mouth: "The second lady called the slaves and maids to come and didn't give orders, the slaves and maids dared to ask, what did the second lady order, the slaves and maids must have gone to the soup and the fire!" Bai finally took his eyes off the ledger and looked at Shi Ma on the ground. This Shi Ma is the most eloquent, so she coaxed the old lady very happy, and she has the heaviest weight among the four.

Now that she is hanging these four people, this Shi Ma will come to stand up for a few people. It's just that this time Shi's mother was wrong. Bai Shi smiled, but in the eyes of the four of them, it was more like a cold snort: "A few mothers are used to being pampered, I just look at the account book for a while, and how many mothers can't kneel?" Shi's mother was heartbroken, and secretly said that the new second lady was really entertaining a few of them, so she straightened her waist and said: "Second lady, the Sheng family is kind-hearted and has never treated people harshly. ”

Bai raised his eyebrows and looked at Shi's mother, the first three meanings in her words, the Sheng family was kind-hearted and did not let his subordinates kneel more, and he became the master who criticized his subordinates. These people are old, and they are also the sons of the Sheng family, and they can't move easily. The last layer of old bones is not those little girls, and easy means can't be suppressed.

Bai Shi turned his head to look at the time leak on the table, looking at the hour, Mama Qian should come back with something, just thinking about the jingling sound at the door of the front hall, the four housekeepers also involuntarily turned their heads to look, but it doesn't matter if they don't look at it, they are so frightened that their hearts jump to their throats. Mama Qian came in with a few rough mothers-in-law carrying a box of things, and the things in this alley are all too familiar with the four housekeepers!

The account books placed at the top of the box were the private account books of the four of them, and they were all things that they had left behind, and under the account books were all gold and silver, soft and precious medicinal materials. There were even some things that were the same as those in the old lady's storeroom. The rough mother-in-law slammed the box to the ground, and the heavy sound was like an iron slap on the hearts of the four people. Only then did Bai Shi say quietly: "How many people might as well tell me what is going on in this box, or will I personally ask the eldest lady and the old lady?" ”

"Madame, spare your life! It's all old slaves who are confused! The old slaves don't dare anymore! Several people immediately changed their faces, with a lot of tears and snot, and they couldn't wait to hug Bai's thighs and cry. If the old lady knew about this, let alone stay in the Sheng family, they would be dead!

Bai specially asked Mama Qian to go to the room of these four housekeepers to search for them, but these are only a small part, these housekeepers are all married and have children, and the good things have already been taken home and sold, these are just things that are too late to take away. If it is investigated to the end, these four housekeeper mothers may even have to take their lives into it!

The four housekeepers cried on the ground, and Bai just didn't see it. It wasn't until the four of them had no strength to toss that Bai Shi spoke: "I don't want to embarrass you, but this year's banquet is coming soon, and the kitchen can't tolerate the slightest difference. ”

Shi's mother, who has the most flexible brain, immediately reacted, the second lady is threatening with their handles, although the threat is indeed uncomfortable, but it is better than being beaten out by the Sheng family. So several people hurriedly expressed their heartfelt feelings: "Second lady, don't worry, with our four old sisters here, keep the second lady's banquet for this year!" The other three people were afraid that the second lady would not see them, so they opened their mouths to curry favor one after another, patting their chests and assuring the Bai family.

In the chrysanthemum courtyard, Aunt Wu was leisurely peeling oranges, and she was waiting to see the liveliness of the Bai family. Listening to the news sent by Grandma Sun, Bai called the four housekeepers in the kitchen this time. Isn't this unpleasant for yourself? These four people are all born in the family, and they are used to being powerful in the kitchen, even the sister-in-law who has been presiding over the feeding has no choice, what can the Bai family do.

But unexpectedly, Mama Sun ran to the chrysanthemum courtyard for the second time to report the news, and her face was full of disbelief: "Auntie, those four housekeepers came out of the flower hall as if they had lost their souls, I think the second lady has some magic tricks?" is the high-spirited Shi Ma on weekdays, who is very embarrassed. ”

"Embarrassed?" Aunt Wu couldn't believe her ears, how could this be. What surprised Aunt Wu even more was still to come, these four housekeepers not only did not embarrass the Bai family as Aunt Wu expected, but they were very stammered with the Bai family, and they would come to the Orchid Garden to report to the Bai family in the morning, noon and evening, and they did not dare to hide all the big and small things in this day. If it weren't for Grandma Sun hearing this with her own ears, Aunt Wu wondered if she was dreaming.

Also surprised was the old lady Wu, who knew that the kitchen was a mess, but she didn't expect Bai's to divide five by two, and she didn't know how to take care of the kitchen in an orderly manner. What dishes should be served when and what ingredients should be collected when have never been missing since Bai took over the kitchen.

Although the old lady handed over the power to the third lady, the third lady really had no brains, either spent too much silver, or bought some dead saplings and seedlings, and spent a lot of money in the past few days, but the grass and trees in the Sheng Mansion have not improved at all.

Seeing that the New Year was approaching, the third lady became more and more anxious, and couldn't help but find Nanyuan. The old lady squinted her eyes and asked, "Now do you know that it is not so easy to host the middle feed?" The third lady said disapprerovingly: "The daughter-in-law thinks that the money allocated by the mother to the daughter-in-law is too little, and the family who renovates the garden does not spend thousands of taels of silver, you will allocate five hundred taels to the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law is useless!" ”

As soon as the third lady said this, she immediately made the old lady angry: "Five hundred taels have made you drift, do you dare to say that there is no use?" Do you know how much Bai's is in charge of the kitchen? It's less than fifty taels! The third lady's eyes widened when she heard this: "How is it possible?" It's impossible! ”
