Chapter XVI Proceedings
Qin'er lowered her voice and said, "Don't worry about how you know, all in all, it's always good for you to catch Sister Caiyun's line." ”
Shi'er was still a little uneasy, "Sister Caiyun doesn't usually talk to us, is it okay to rashly beg her to do something?" ”
Qin'er looked at Shi'er's timid and scared appearance, and couldn't help but look down on her a little, and said, "What's so difficult about this, I'll give you an idea." ”
As he spoke, the two of them put their heads to their heads and chewed their ears.
After a while, Qin'er raised her head and said to the painting lying outside without saying a word: "Painting, what are your plans?" ”
The painting, which was originally closed and didn't want to participate in it, was suddenly named, so he could only say: "I'm different from you, and I'm not a child, so the girl can go wherever I want." ”
Qin'er snorted, "Although your family is not in the house, you have to plan for yourself, if the girl doesn't care about you, and the clan sends you to the village to do farm work, what will you do?" ”
"There's nothing wrong with going to Zhuangzi, some eat and some live." Besides, the girl now has to follow the eldest lady and learn to be a housekeeper, and she won't ignore us if she thinks about it. ”
Qin'er didn't bother to tell Hua'er, she was not a child, she was like duckweed in the house, even if she helped her now, it would not be good for her in the future, so she said: "Well, then you just wait for the girl to arrange it." ”
After speaking, as if he remembered something, he said sharply: "What I said to Shi'er just now, if you dare to leak out, there will be no good fruit to eat!" ”
The painting answered, turned over and went to sleep.
Hui Yu got up early in the morning, Caiyun and Emerald Green were busy grooming and dressing her, and Crimson was arranging breakfast with the little maid.
When Huiyu dresses up neatly, the table of the Eight Immortals has been neatly placed with sauce tofu, cucumbers, shredded radish, peanut beans, small flower rolls, and a bowl of hot white porridge, all of which Huiyu usually likes to eat.
Hui Yu sat down and said with satisfaction: "The color of today's breakfast is good. ”
Jiang Hong heard Hui Yu's praise and said modestly: "The slave knows that the girl will stay in the Mingsheng Pavilion for a few hours, so she has prepared the girl's favorite food, so that the girl can reserve more body." ”
Hui Yu was a little surprised, usually Crimson is a self-confident and stable master, why did she suddenly deliberately please herself today?
However, she still had to go to Mingsheng Pavilion in a while, and Hui Yu didn't have time to think about it, so she started eating breakfast with a sigh.
When it was time to go out, Emerald Green was about to go out with Hui Yu, and Hui Yu said: "Caiyun will go to Mingsheng Pavilion with me today, and Crimson and Emerald Green will stay to watch the courtyard." ”
The crimson color was nothing, and the emerald green face suddenly did not look good.
Hui Yu sighed again at the maid Emerald Green in her heart, but she didn't care about what to say, and went straight to Mingsheng Pavilion with Caiyun.
When they arrived at Mingsheng Pavilion, there were already many servants standing at the door waiting to report, and when they saw Huiyu coming, they all saluted. Some of the eyelids are light, and their faces are different.
Hui Yu looked at the different expressions of the servants, and said in her heart, this original owner seems to be a deep lady, and she is not a director on weekdays, otherwise the servant women would not be so surprised to see her.
Thinking about it, he didn't pay attention to everyone's eyes, and directly let people report it and entered the Mingsheng Pavilion.
In the Mingsheng Pavilion, Yan's mother sat on the seat on the left, holding the abacus in her hand, and wrote down something in the account book from time to time. The two of them thought and calculated, cooperated tacitly, and didn't pay attention to Hui Yu walking in for a while.
Chang sat on the main seat, listening to the two mothers settle accounts, and when he saw Hui Yu coming in, he beckoned and said, "Sister Hui came so early, can you have breakfast?" Come, sit down with my aunt. ”
When Mother Yan and Mother Shi heard this, they all stopped what they were doing and saluted Huiyu.
Huiyu hurriedly excused the two mothers, sat on the chair under Chang's right, and said, "Hui'er has already had breakfast in Baihuayuan. After finishing it, he saw the two mothers stop what they were doing, and said, "Did Hui'er disturb the eldest aunt to reconcile?" ”
Chang said: "It's not in the way, it's almost right." The remaining two mothers can be liquidated. After speaking, he ordered Yan's mother and Shi's mother to continue to settle the account. He talked to Huiyu about the process of deliberations.
"After a while, the deliberations will begin, and the mothers-in-law will all stand in this hall, and the first thing is to talk about the things on the account. Yan's mother and Shi's mother will roughly talk about yesterday's accounts, and if there is any problem, they will ask the mother-in-law in charge. ”
"The second is to assign new jobs and deal with some problems."
"In the end, the mothers-in-law reported their work yesterday one by one in order, and if they had something to report, they would report it, and if they had nothing to do, they could go back to work."
"That's the process of the discussion, and it takes almost two hours to finish it full. If you're hungry or unwell, just tell me and go to the back room to rest, don't be tired. ”
Hui Yu listened carefully and obediently responded.
In less than half a pillar of incense, Yan's mother and Shi's mother finished settling the accounts, and simply told Chang about the situation, and the discussion began.
I saw the servants enter the hall in a stream, lined up in three rows one by one, stood still, and stood up. No one spoke, only the sound of moving footsteps.
The orderly formation of more than 20 mothers-in-law shows the rigor of Chang's usual family management. Hui Yu secretly praised in her heart.
Yan's mother spoke first, saying how much money was withdrawn from the account, what she bought or where she paid the bill.
Mother Shi went on to talk about the situation in the warehouse, who they were, what things they received, or which people returned which things. Among them, there were two mothers-in-law who were in charge of the incense candles in the mourning hall, and they did not pay attention to them, and the incense candles were wet when they were wet, and they were fined for a month.
After Yan's mother and Shi's mother finished talking about the account and the warehouse, Chang Shifang began to speak, mainly saying that he inspected the mourning hall yesterday and saw that there were people who took time to take a nap, emphasizing the organization and discipline when working, and punishing the lazy mother-in-law to make an example......
Hui Yu watched Chang's usual gentleness in speaking, the reward that should be rewarded, and the punishment that should be punished, sonorous and powerful, and couldn't help but sigh that Chang's housework really has two brushes.
After Chang's beating, the servants began to report their work one by one.
Hui Yu also fought 200 percent of the spirit to observe these servants.
The first to report was the servant woman who managed the kitchen, and the one who came up was a woman with a single bun and a golden hairpin, bowed her head and said respectfully: "Zhang, everyone's greetings to the eldest lady." Yesterday, the big kitchen spent forty-six taels of silver to make the food of the masters who chanted the scriptures, and the food of the maids and servants at home. ”
Chang asked, what kind of dishes did the masters prepare, and what did the maids eat. Everyone Zhang answered one by one, and his words were clear.
Then a few more servants took turns to report.
There was a servant woman who caught Hui Yu's attention, the daughter-in-law of the Liu Wu family who was in charge of needlework. Everyone else lowered their heads and reported humbly, and after the Liu Wujia saluted, they glanced at the Chang family on the main seat, and even Hui Yu, and after the two mothers, Fang lowered his head and said, "The Liu Wu family wants to report something to the eldest lady." The old lady went suddenly, and the girl and aunt didn't have a few plain clothes, so the little one thought about buying some plain cloth and making a few clothes for the girl and aunt. ”
Huiyu couldn't help but glance at Liu Wujia a few more times, why did Liu Wujia suddenly think about making clothes for himself?
