As soon as Yutan entered Chunhui Hall to ask her grandmother for peace, the old lady said that she didn't have to worry about the things at home in the future, she would take care of the aftermath, and let Yutan learn a little by the side, Yutan held a mouthful of old blood in her heart, her face was red, and her grandmother said this, and one of her granddaughters only had to listen.

The old lady passed down the word, to those in charge of the affairs today to Chunhui Hall to do errands, Yutan's cleanup, it is when everyone is in danger, as soon as I heard that the old lady wants to see them, these dozens of mothers-in-law can't help but tremble, panicked, to the door of Chunhui Hall, the little maid took out the roster one by one, and asked them to wait outside first, the cold day, the outside is a cold wind through the hall, the housekeepers are tired and hungry, waiting for the day to be high, Jiang sister-in-law dared to say to the little maid at the door, "It's time to eat in a while, It's too late to make arrangements, what does the old lady mean, I have to go back to distribute vegetables. ”

Eating is the top priority, the little maid went in, and ran out after a while, "The old lady said, isn't there a dozen people in the small kitchen?" Won't they do it then? The old lady told you to wait. ”

Sister-in-law Jiang didn't dare to say a word more, and looked at the people in the small kitchen in her heart to be smart, but fortunately, the old lady also began to summon people inside, and all of them came out of frustration, and the old lady was ruthless, and she fired several housekeepers in a row, and inserted several people into it, all of them are very oily and watery places, buying, kitchen, account room, money management, treasury management, even the old lady who goes to night in various places refuses to rest assured, you must find the most loyal slave.

The second lady said one more sentence, and the old lady seemed to be smiling, "Grandmother is so old, can't she understand everything better than you?" Yutan, you learn with an open mind, don't be like your mother, you just want to be generous and buy well, praise for others to be virtuous, even this home can be sold, look at her in the past few years, what kind of chaos has become in the house. ”

Yutan couldn't defend her mother, and she was so depressed that she couldn't even hold up a fake smile.

At this time, the mother-in-law on the second door came in, "Old lady, the official from the Criminal Department is here, and he wants to see the second lady by name." ”

The old lady was taken aback, and then looked at Yutan, "Why are you still in trouble with the Criminal Department?" ”

Yutan remembered the incident that was reported to the official at the beginning, "Grandmother, the official of the Criminal Department came to ask Wu Guigui, Steward Guo found a secret cellar in Wu Guigui's house, where two large boxes were hidden, filled with gold ingots and other fine and soft, worth 10,000 gold, Steward Guo did not dare to be self-conscious, because there was no one else at home, so he had to invite his granddaughter out, and the granddaughter was afraid that this Wu Guigui would be involved in bandits, so she had to let Steward Guo report to the official." The people from the Criminal Department wanted to ask about it. ”

"What? It's been reported! Do you dare to call the shots on such a big matter? The old lady couldn't help but be angry, "Yutan, you are so unreasonable!" Tell me, what's in the box? How big are the gold ingots? ”

Yutan sighed in his heart, and reluctantly smiled, "This granddaughter didn't pay attention either, she only remembered that the box was heavy, and several little girls could carry it." ”

"You! You, you can let me tell you what's good! How can he have such a good thing in his family, and he didn't steal from his master's house? You're good, and you went to report to the official! No, what are you doing when a young lady runs out of the second door, and you go to the next room to embarrass people, do you know the courtesy, righteousness and shame! The face of the Hou Mansion has been lost by you. ”

After a smashing speech, Yutan's face couldn't hold back her tears, her face was red with shame, and she forced a smile to justify, "Grandmother, those two boxes are too bizarre. After passing through the bandits, it will not be good for the Hou Mansion to be affected by the incident in the future, so the granddaughter wants to report to the official. ”

"Fart! That's your grandmother's private money, I asked that Wu Guigui to collect, I will know as soon as you say it. ”

Yutan looked at her grandmother in surprise, and the old lady ordered, "Go and sue the errand officer of the Criminal Department, just say that the second lady is sick, and ask the errand officer to eat tea in Chunhui Hall." He glared at Yutan again, "Why don't you get out of here quickly, what are you waiting for?" ”

Yutan's face was hot, and she almost moaned. groaned, "Grandmother, that Wu Guigui's family is the companion of the eldest aunt." ”

Throwing down the stunned old lady, Yutan turned around and went out.

The old lady's old face was purple and swollen, and she didn't know what to do for a while, so Mama Wang hurriedly whispered to the old lady, "Even if it is the silver left by the big house, it is also our Hou Mansion, and the big house stole how much of the house." ”

Mei Xiang said hesitantly, "Old lady, it stands to reason that the slave and maid should not be talkative, I am afraid that the box in Wu Guigui's hand is not a big house, and it is not good for him to really be involved with the bandits." ”

Mama Wang has been reused in the past two days, and she is on the rise, of course, she has to figure out her master's thoughts, so she smiled and said, "Miss Meixiang, you have never seen that Wu Valuable, where does such a person dare to be selfish. Pass the bandits. ”

As she spoke, the officer from the Criminal Department came, and the old lady said, "Please." "Come in two officials about thirty years old, the old lady is old, so there is no need to block the curtain, a few old ladies in the house are serving, there are no young maids, the Hou Mansion has always been the most decent.

The old lady could calm down, smiled and said please take a seat, the two officials hurriedly hugged their fists, "Old lady, the lawsuit is serious, our chief can't wait for the Hou Ye to come back, and sent me two to the Hou Mansion to ask, does this Wu Guigui have any acquaintances in the mansion?" Is he a slave of the Hou Mansion or was he bought from outside? The old housekeeper of your house is not there, and the chief is urging again, so the two of us have to go to the inner house to ask, how offended, the seal on the box at that time has the signatures of the second lady of your house and the housekeeper Guo, can we please see the second lady? Steward Guo, where did he go? ”

The old lady smiled, "The official doesn't have to work hard, the second lady of our family has never seen anything in the world, so much silver scares her, how does she know that it is the private money I have saved over the years, it was stolen by that Wu Guigui, how should I punish him, when will you send the two boxes of gold ingots back?" ”

The two officials looked at each other and smiled, the old lady of the Hou Mansion saved private money? Listen to it as a joke.

The old lady didn't cooperate, and asked hard when she would carry the silver back, and the errand officer could only leave, so the old lady asked the little maid to carry the silver, and a bad lady smiled, "Old lady, we can't be the master of this, you let Marquis Li talk to our family." ”

The errand officer is gone, and the old lady has no idle housekeeper, so she will order to disperse.

The housekeeper outside has been waiting for most of the day, standing in the cold wind, at this time I looked at the cards in my hand, I have no idea, some of the irrelevant things are just, the rice noodles in the small kitchen and the big kitchen are there, but the fresh vegetables and vegetables have to be bought, are Jiang sister-in-law and Liu sister-in-law reported the approximate number of vegetables and vegetables required every day, and there is also a rough example, can not be exceeded, the comprador then calculated the approximate money, wrote it and took it to the master to approve, and the comprador went to the silver treasury to withdraw the silver.

The second lady locked herself in the boudoir and refused to come out, so everything was paralyzed there until noon, the small kitchen was barely cooking, and the big kitchen was a good woman who could not cook without rice, so she only cooked a big pot of brown rice and boiled a big pot of green onion soup.
