Chapter 46: The Storm in Yutan (2)
Yutan invited Mama Qin to sit in her Diecui Garden, and Mama Qin hurriedly smiled and said, "Then I'm going to disturb the second young lady, the old slave wants to ask for a good cup of tea." ”
Yutan smiled slightly, "Grandma's good tea is indispensable." ”
Cuimo really made a pot of good tea, and brought the newly made snacks, "Mama also tastes the taste of our yard, this is Xiaoyan'er's mother's craft, what do you think is better than the small kitchen?" ”
Mama Qin tasted a piece and said with a smile, "It's really soft and delicious, I didn't expect Xiao Yan'er's mother to have this craftsmanship." ”
Mama Qin and the second miss said a few words, seeing the second miss's leisurely appearance, Mama Qin had no choice but to take the initiative to speak, "Second Miss, what do you want the old slave to do?" ”
"It's nothing, but you have to rely on your authority, Mama is now in charge of the pulp washing room, and in charge of those who go to the night, there can be a hundred and ten people under your hands, and those big and small maids are all promoted by Mama, if you want to talk about popularity, no one in the house can compare to Mama." Yutan smiled and handed over the account book, "Mama, please take a look." ”
Mama Qin also knew a few words, so she was asked to read the account book but had no ability, Mama Qin hurriedly shook her hand and smiled, "Second Miss, this old slave can't understand." ”
Yutan smiled slightly, "Cuimo, you tell Mama." ”
Cuimo said with a smile, "Mama is also living at home, you also know that the compradors in the house are really black-hearted, and the chickens are just a dozen copper plate ordinary things, you know how much those in charge want, and the monthly satin, fat powder, hair oil and the like, the purchase is not good, and a lot of money has been spent, most of our young lady's fat powder and hair oil are not usable in our hands every month, and we have to pay our own money to buy it, I have asked those grandmothers who are in charge before, Look what kind of bastard things they are talking about, our young lady is uncomfortable because of this, so she understands that Hou Ye wants to get rid of their errands and choose another batch of good ones to do the errand, which requires Mama's help. ”
Mama Qin knows in her heart that this is a hot potato, and the few people who can be mixed up and bought are all deep-rooted veteran slaves in this house, they are all born of a family, and they have served several masters from generation to generation, and several of them are in contact with the stewards.
Mama Qin was not in a hurry to speak, picked up a piece of dim sum and ate it slowly, Yutan was not in a hurry, she looked at her with a smile, in the end, Mama Qin couldn't help it, took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Can the old slave ask the second miss, what do you want to do about this?" Who will take over after that? Take the small kitchen as an example, it can't be separated from people for a moment, and it is not good to delay the master's diet. ”
"It's not just a kitchen." Yutan said with a smile, "Sister-in-law Jiang likes to be greedy for a little cheap, I know this, this is not a big sin, who can not be greedy at all." I still want Sister-in-law Jiang to take care of the small kitchen, she is familiar with the tastes of the masters, and it is inconvenient to change her, so it will be over after beating her. ”
Yutan said with a smile, "The companion rooms left by the eldest aunt have been in charge of things for more than ten years now, and they are not our family slaves, so it is time to invite them to rest, and there are also grandmothers who promoted Liang and Liu, you also know, relying on the face given by the master to be domineering, I heard that Liang Mama put Yinzi money in her house?" Also in the name of our Hou Mansion, as well as Mama Liu's family of Jinshan Yinshan, the last time because the grandmother did not agree to let her grandson redeem himself, there were many resentful words behind his back, these two people have some talents, and it is clear that they can't even do the errands in their hands. ”
Mama Qin couldn't help nodding secretly, the people left by the eldest lady should have been invited out a long time ago, and it was a great credit for this matter to be done, but those two grandmothers were promoted by the old lady, and they were the same as her were the old lady's henchmen, and the old lady hated others to deceive her the most, if she knew that these two people had done a good job, she would not be able to tolerate the two of them.
Yutan continued, "The rest are the old men in this mansion who have served their masters, and they are becoming more and more proud, I feel uncomfortable, so I want their whole family to go to Zhuangzi to farm, and they have been prosperous for several lifetimes, and they should learn to farm." ”
These two young ladies are so big! Mama Qin smiled dryly, "This is not very easy to do, when the time comes, it will be chaotic and alarming the old lady to rest." ”
"The third day of the third month of October is the day of reconciliation in the house, on that day my grandmother will go to Buyun Zen Temple to make incense, and I will live there for a few days, and when my grandmother comes back here, it will be over, and my father will also explain to my grandmother, and then save these money, my grandmother can only be happy.
The old lady is willing to give those people face, but because of their filial piety, it is the same for others to be honored, Yutan asked the other servants in the house, and Qin Mama confirmed it, and there was a rough idea in her heart, Qin Mama couldn't help but feel a slight chill in her heart, the second lady usually looks at the most gentle person, it turns out that she is so decided, and Hou Ye is willing to support her, this action is really about to change the sky.
When Brother Shen came to ask for peace at night, he grinded his grandmother to the Buyun Zen Courtyard to offer incense, and the old lady smiled, "What are you doing, didn't you just come back from the temple last month, it's true that you want to be playful." ”
Brother Shen smiled, "Grandmother, do you know that the Bodhisattva in the Zen temple has appeared?" ”
Brother Shen opened his eyes and said nonsense, but the old lady was willing to believe it, Brother Shen muttered all night, the old lady couldn't help it, so she told Mama Qin to prepare something to go out, and the little maid came over and replied, "The old lady Mama Qin is sick at home, saying that she accidentally twisted her foot, and her foot was swollen and tall, and she asked for the master's grace to rest for a few days." ”
"It's used to being more tempered than the master." The old lady is a philanthropist, so she approved Mama Qin's grace, and sent Guo Xincheng to the family, but Guo Xincheng's family had a bad stomach, and she couldn't do errands with vomiting and diarrhea.
The old lady was depressed, and she had to let Mama Wang run an errand, and Mama Wang seized this opportunity to get busy.
The old lady wants to go to the Buyun Zen Courtyard to incense, in addition to the second miss, the other granddaughters are all with her, and the second lady is really inseparable, these days are the busiest days of the month.
Early in the morning, the second lady went to sit in the conference hall, and there were servants who went back and forth to get the right cards, and the second lady didn't speak first, just sat there and ate half a cup of tea slowly, and then smiled and said, "What is Mama anxious about, wait for everyone to arrive in a while." ”
The servant woman was anxious, "Second Miss, don't you know, I get up early every month and get money to go out so that I can buy today's food." ”
Yutan ignored her anymore, and passed down the word to urge the ladies who were in charge, and after a while, everyone came one after another, and the servant woman said anxiously, "The second lady has dealt my pair of cards first, and I am still waiting to buy it." ”
Yu Tan nodded slightly, the little maid took the pair of cards and gave them to the young lady, Yu Tan flipped it and smiled slightly, "This grandma, your account is not right." ”
The mother was stunned for a moment, "I think it's a mistake to be in a hurry." ”
"It's just that Mama is too wrong." The second young lady's pretty face was cold, "Mama fooled me that I can't go outside, I don't know the price of today, Cuimo, you tell her." ”
Cui Mo pointed to the cards and said again, and said with a smile, "Mama reported five hundred taels of silver, and the actual need is not even one hundred taels of silver, Mama said how much you are greedy for ink." ”
"I'm reporting according to the rules!" The mother-in-law said confidently, "This is the usual rule in the house, I'll talk to the old lady." ”
Yutan smiled, "Okay, okay, then I'll let you know what the rules are, and someone will tie her up and put her on Zhuangzi first." ”
The stout old lady who was waiting on the side stepped forward to escort the grandmother, and there was a hug next to her, "Second Miss, why don't you allow anyone to explain." ”
Yutan smiled at a glance, this is also a purchase, "What about your pair of cards?" Show me. ”
