Chapter 319: Straighten out the housework
In the end, Yao didn't find out what happened, but he just knew that her crested hairpin had inexplicably become fake.
If you don't throw it into the fire and burn it, you can hardly tell the real from the fake just by looking at it with your eyes. But in order to check the authenticity, she threw it into the fire......
So there was nothing.
Thinking that he originally planned to use this hairpin to cure Eleven Niang well, and then scare and scare her well, and then let her pull the matter to Fourteen Niang. During this time, Fourteen Niang's hands were too generous, and Yao's heart was sad.
However, she didn't expect things to turn out like this at all, not only did she not succeed at all, but she also lost one of her best golden hairpins!
So Yao fell ill, angry and distressed.
Because I fell ill during the New Year, the New Year is about to begin, and the family is busy like something. After Gu Wang's visit to her, Wen Yan persuaded her to recuperate, turn her back, and let Aunt Dong arrange housework.
Yao was so angry that he was about to go crazy, and watched coldly, wanting to see how Aunt Dong, who was only in charge of the family for a few days, was going to arrange the New Year.
If she thinks that she has the experience of last time and can go smoothly this time, then she is very wrong!
And in order to promote Aunt Dong, Gu Wang also arranged for Shi Niang and Fourteen Niang to assist her last time, but this time, she was directly left alone. But he was worried that Aunt Dong was inexperienced, and told her that if there was anything she couldn't do and she couldn't make up her mind, she could go to Wei Ziyuan to ask Mrs.
Aunt Dong should come down, but as soon as Gu Wang left, she immediately looked for Gu Ming.
Gu Ming is her help!
When Aunt Dong came to Yurong Courtyard, Gu Ming was playing with a bead there, which was larger than a soybean, with a soft color and a very round shape.
"It's ...... Dongzhu? Aunt Dong watched Gu Ming roll around on the table with this fine pearl, and asked with some surprise.
Such a good pearl, even if it is placed in the East Pearl, it must be the first-class East Pearl, right? And it's so big...... How much is it worth?
"No, this is Haizhu." Gu Ming lifted the bead, shone it on the mild winter sun, and said with a smile.
The crystal beads reflected the winter sun, emitting a brilliant light, and at this moment, all of Aunt Dong's mind was attracted by it.
"It's beautiful!" Aunt Dong sighed and said.
Suddenly, she remembered a gossip circulating in the house in the past few days, saying that Mrs. had a hairpin with a phoenix title bead that had been replaced. And that bead, I heard is the sea pearl.
And Fourteen Niang suddenly had an extra sea pearl......
She didn't even have to ask to know what was going on.
Fourteen Niang is really amazing, Aunt Dong has to sigh. Who wants to fix her? Prepare for a bite!
Not to mention the pure gold hairpin, just this bead must be worth a lot of money, right? Of course, the beads aren't that big. If it's bigger......
I don't know how much a bead is worth.
"Aunt Dong, this bead is given to you, and it will be a dowry for Fifteen Niang in the future." Gu Ming saw that Aunt Dong liked this bead very much, and stuffed it into her hand with a smile.
Aunt Dong stammered: "This ...... How embarrassing is this, such a valuable thing......"
"No matter how valuable it is, it's useless for me to hold it. When the fifteenth mother gets married, no matter where I am, I will give her a golden hairpin to add a dowry. Gu Ming winked at Aunt Dong.
Aunt Dong naturally understood what she meant, and also laughed.
Fourteen Niang is so sincere, then it won't be interesting for her to refuse. She generously accepted the beads and discussed the New Year with Gu Ming.
Gu Ming really didn't expect that the final New Year would fall on Aunt Dong. Speaking of which, that's an unexpected benefit, right?
Originally, she didn't plan to celebrate the New Year with the Gu family, and she was going to think of a way to avoid it. It's easier now, I told Aunt Dong directly, and Aunt Dong happily agreed.
She pointed out Aunt Dong, such a big family, for the New Year, what things need to be prepared in advance, what things need to be arranged in advance, what places need to be paid attention to in advance......
Aunt Dong originally came to her with the mentality of trying, but she didn't expect that Fourteen Niang really knew everything, and she knew a lot and deeply, so she was overjoyed and remembered everything she said.
Yao was waiting to see Aunt Dong's good show, but he didn't expect that Aunt Dong, who was obviously arranging the New Year for the first time, was like a veteran, and everything was arranged without leakage. Even the Yao clan wanted to ask people to make a mistake in it, but they couldn't find a place to use it at all.
Who the hell is helping her? The Yao family was about to go crazy.
Finally understood by herself, if she continued to get sick, then this family would really change, and she supported her body and told Gu Wang that her body was already well, and she didn't have to trouble Aunt Dong to help her.
Gu Wang stared at her for a long time, and finally looked at the love of the old couple for many years, gave her face, did not demolish her, and let Aunt Dong hand over the affairs to her.
As a result, I didn't expect that as soon as the Yao family received it, there were two things that were messed up. However, this matter was ordered by her after she took over, and it is not to blame Aunt Dong, you can imagine how angry and disappointed Gu Wang was.
The main room of a housekeeper for many years, the level of a housekeeper is not as good as a concubine who has just started to be a housekeeper! Yao's became the biggest joke in Runan City in the last few days of the year.
The Yao family was anxious to wash away her shameful reputation, so she had to put all her energy into preparing for the New Year, and she no longer had extra energy to deal with these concubines and maids in the family, and many people in the house were secretly relieved.
However, the daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law who were in charge were treated by the Yao family and complained bitterly every day.
was treated badly, and some people even secretly came to Aunt Dong and complained to her, saying that the level of the Yao housekeeper was inferior, but he only knew how to scold. Obviously, she asked someone to buy fifty taels of silver, but she only gave forty taels of silver, and she didn't say anything, and she couldn't handle the matter, and she had to reprimand the person who did it.
What can Aunt Dong say? can only gently persuade and send people away.
The purchase of large households is a bad debt. But the biggest key is that every family is almost the same, and it comes down like this every year, so the stewards are used to it.
For example, the purchase of fifty taels of silver mentioned by the housekeeper's mother-in-law, Aunt Dong also knew that she was purchasing lanterns to be hung under the corridor during the New Year. But in fact, at the market price, forty taels of silver should be enough.
There may not be much left, but there is definitely no less.
But for the stewards, this is not enough. Because, there is no room for them to be greedy for ink.
