(099) To know people, to know faces, you need to know your heart
84_84990 "Miss, don't you see?" Cuizhu has always been obsessed, and the same question has been asked no less than ten times: "Then the Ye family obviously wants to take advantage of it, why did you let her be in charge of the ingredients?" β
It was really unbearable, Lin Mengyao finally responded: "I use her because she is both smart and greedy for money!" β
This answer simply made Cuizhu even more puzzled, but fortunately Huizhu stopped her, otherwise Lin Mengyao would not have been able to be quiet. Seeing Cuizhu being pulled away by Huizhu, Lin Mengyao smiled, this kind of thing is better to let Cuizhu come into contact with less, as long as she Lin Mengyao is good, she will protect Cuizhu and preserve her innocence and beauty.
Gu Beichen didn't come back for lunch, Lin Mengyao used it alone, so she wrote in the room, and Huizhu was grinding ink on the side.
"Miss, do you have a plan?" Looking at the handwriting on the yellowed paper, Huizhu opened her mouth.
Lin Mengyao smiled faintly: "Didn't the nurse guess it?" How could Meng Yao's little trick escape the eyes of the nurse? β
Huizhu laughed in response: "Miss has grown up, and the slave is happy!" β
Huizhu's happiness is from the heart, since the catastrophe on the way to get married, Lin Mengyao has indeed changed too much, but these changes are all things she is happy to see. In such a big Gu Mansion, how can you survive if you don't pay attention to everything and don't divide the city government into trouble?
"Although the Ye family loves to be clever and greedy, he is very easy to handle."
"The nurse is right, I just learned to be in charge of the Gu Mansion, and I always have to pave the way for myself." Lin Mengyao had already written half a page, dipped in ink, and said as she wrote: "People, if there is a shortcoming, it is easy to grasp." Again. The so-called little cleverness of the Ye family, since it can be seen by others, it is not smart. β
The Ye family is greedy for small and cheap, but her greed is limited, and Lin Mengyao can completely limit her greed; As for Xiao Clever, as soon as the menu was handed in, Lin Mengyao saw her intentions. Can that still count as cleverness?
"Just. Miss, this matter has been handed over to the Ye family, will the other two ......?"
"Yes. Of course it willβ"
Lin Mengyao's categorical cut surprised Huizhu, but when she saw what Lin Mengyao wrote, she smiled comfortably. As long as you follow the list, I'm afraid that those restless ones will not only not be able to steal chickens. It will also erode the rice.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the ceremony. The rooster crows three times. Lin Mengyao got up and began to get dressed. Feeling Gu Beichen move, he looked back and saw that he was also sitting up. Squinting and fumbling for clothes.
"Why did you get up?"
"Today is the first time you're in charge of such a big thing, and I want to watch it."
said it plainly, but Lin Mengyao's heart moved. His eyes were reddened, and his voice was delicate. The words were fine: "Thank you husband for your love!" β
No, while speaking, Gu Beichen actually hooked her waist and held her in his arms: "What did you take to thank me?" β
The earlobe was bitten by Gu Beichen, Lin Mengyao trembled, and the feeling of numbness spread all over her body, and she didn't answer, just smiled stupidly. Gu Beichen sucked on her earlobe, and held it for a long time before letting go: "After the ceremony, you always do what a wife should do!" β
As he spoke, he let go of her, and the ambiguity on his face had long since disappeared, and he had completely restored his usual seriousness. Lin Mengyao twitched the corners of her mouth and helped him get dressed, then she clapped her palms and motioned for Hongrui and Luliu, who were waiting outside the door, to come in.
Today, the entire Gu Mansion is an early riser, and before the guests arrive, they have to arrange a qiΔ. Gu Beichen took Mingxue and Qingquan around the house to see if there were any shortcomings; Lin Mengyao took Huizhu and the others to the kitchen.
The Gu family's kitchen was as big as two rooms, and it was on par with the kitchen of the Meng Mansion in the previous life. When Lin Mengyao and the others went in, Ye was directing a group of maids to choose vegetables, wash vegetables, and cut vegetables.
"You, cut this beef, cut it thinly and evenly...... And you, go and clean this basket of large intestines, remember to use bran, wash it clean......"
The whole kitchen was busy and orderly, Lin Mengyao only glanced at it twice, and did not step forward to talk to her, but just carefully inspected all the ingredients.
"Oh, the young lady got up so early?" Xiao Shi saw her and hurriedly got up: "In this daytime, the ladies of various families are here, and the young ladies have to accompany them, why don't you rest more?" β
Looking at the complexion, this Xiao Shi was not happy at all. Lin Mengyao said with a smile: "It's the first time I've done such a big thing, how can I sleep?" It's better to take a look around and ask for peace of mind! β
Lin Mengyao and Xiao only talked for a few words, and then Ye came over. There was no shortage of greetings, but after the greetings, the topic shifted to Zhang.
"Alas, I don't know what kind of sister of the He family is, why did she get a cold last night?" Xiao Shi frowned, full of worry: "The cough and runny nose on this bone eye can't even enter the kitchen, it seems that the bihe red lotus soup can't be done." Sister Kong, look at what this sweet soup should be! β
"That Bihe red lotus soup can't be done and it's okay, doesn't the Jiang family sister have the best white fungus lotus seed soup? It can also be used in an emergency. Ye Shi muttered to himself, and then asked Lin Mengyao: "Young lady, what do you see?" β
"You can take the idea, I'll only be responsible for eating." Lin Mengyao smiled, "However, I have already heard that the white fungus lotus seed soup of the Jiang family's sister-in-law is a must, I wonder if it is good for me to learn the red stamen in my yard?" β
"Of course you can, of course you can!" Xiao Shi laughed again and again, and led Hongrui to the side to prepare.
When Lin Mengyao was talking to Xiao, Ye had already brought the booklet and brush.
"Young lady, this is the list for today's purchase." Ye handed the purchase brochure to Lin Mengyao: "Have you passed it first?" β
"The sister-in-law of the Kong family is doing things, I am relieved-" Lin Mengyao didn't answer, only looked around the kitchen, and then picked up the bean sprouts in the basket casually and said: "The bean sprouts on North Street are not only fresher, but the price is also much cheaper than that on South Street, and the sister-in-law of the Kong family has good connections!" β
It was just a homely language, but the Ye family was stunned. She glanced at Lin Mengyao in a daze, the corners of her mouth twitched, and said with a dry smile: "The young lady knows!" β
"Where can I know about these things, but it just so happened that Mr. Guo in the courtyard went to North Street to help me buy some ingredients in the small kitchen, and followed after seeing the sister-in-law of the Kong family." Lin Mengyao smiled, looked at the Ye family and smiled: "The sister-in-law of the Kong family is an old customer, and Mr. Guo also took your name and saved a lot of money for my small kitchen!" β
"Oh, young lady, the slave has never deducted a penny!"
"I know it, why is the sister-in-law of the Kong family like this?" Lin Mengyao pretended to be surprised and helped Ye's family: "Can I still doubt you?" β
As he spoke, he took the account book and brush in Ye's hand, didn't look at it, signed it directly, and then handed it back to her, and said with a smile: "Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, don't use the truth that I don't understand?" The sister-in-law of the Kong family just needs to do things well, I understand. β
The sentence "I understand" was quite meaningful, and Ye's heart flickered, and when he looked up again, Lin Mengyao had already left the kitchen, and only glanced at her when he passed by the window. Although his gaze was full of gentleness, Ye Shi still felt a cool breath rush into his neck.
"Miss, the Kong family clearly occupies -"
Cuizhu asked puzzled, but was stopped by Lin Mengyao's look: "When the water is clear, there are no fish." β
This reason, there is no need for Cuizhu to understand, Lin Mengyao called Luliu and said: "You went back to the young master, and asked him to find a doctor to come over, just say that the Zhang family suffered from typhoid fever last night, with a cold and cough, I am afraid that it will not be better for ten days and half a month." β
Lu Liu answered, and then went to Gu Beichen.
"Miss, didn't you say it was just a cough? How do you know she's not going to get better for a while? β
"You rammer!" Huizhu couldn't cry or laugh, and clicked Cuizhu's head and scolded with a smile: "You won't use your brain to think about it? β
Lin Mengyao also smiled from ear to ear, ignored her, and went straight to the front yard. Zhang's didn't come today, he changed his way to give her a horse, which she expected, and Lin Mengyao wouldn't give her a good deal when she saw the move. Let that Dr. Song come over, just to find a justifiable reason to let the Zhang family leave the kitchen - it is not easy to use and cannot be used, and she Lin Mengyao is not rare to use!
When she arrived at the front yard, Hongxuan was already waiting there, took the list and handed it to her: "Here is the list of ladies who have been confirmed today, there are all preferences and taboos on it, and the young lady should pay more attention to it." β
"Thank you, Mother Hongxuanβ"
Lin Mengyao took the list and looked at it, and hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, the wife of this rich and noble family really has a lot of taboos, even if she eats and drinks, since even words are taboo. Among them, Zhao Shicheng's wife is even more so, Mrs. Zhao is the identity of the concubine, and the most taboo is to mention the word "concubine".
Marrying into an official family as a concubine, and after giving birth to three daughters in a row, it is really not easy to press the daughter of a rich and noble family to be the housewife of the Zhao family!
Time always flies, but after a few turns, it is already dawn.
Liu instructed that he should tell Gu Ruyu about the etiquette and etiquette. But Gu Ruyu, who had originally made an appointment to meet in the garden, was delayed, so Lin Mengyao took Huizhu to hers. After coming to Gu Mansion for so long, Lin Mengyao has never entered Gu Ruyu's courtyard, firstly, because there are one thing after another, and there is no chance; Second, Gu Ruyu did not invite her.
Approaching Liuxia Pavilion, there is a sparse bamboo forest, which is very refreshing and pleasant. Lin Mengyao hurried forward, stopped suddenly, and looked back to see that a maid was walking opposite to them from another road.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Although it was nothing, Lin Mengyao always felt strange there, and frowned all the way into Liuxia Pavilion.
"I've seen the young lady-" As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Gu Ruyu's personal maid Huang Ying guarding the door. The yellow warbler looked at Lin Mengyao, looked very surprised, and after seeing the salute in a panic, she shouted into the room: "Miss, the young lady is here-" (to be continued).
