Chapter 680: Suppression (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
It depends on whether it's worth it or not, if it's for the eldest young master, then she will naturally "go to the soup and fight the fire", but the eldest young grandmother extinguished her hope, and she still wanted to use her like this, she was unwilling.
Coincidentally, there was a squire in the town who had a 60th birthday and invited the Fang family. Yuan'er drew up a list of birthday gifts, instructed people to prepare them, and congratulated them on the day. There are sixty longevity peaches on the list, according to the old practice of the Fang family, this is not purchased from the town, it is made by the Fang family's cooks. It's not that it's reluctant to make money, but what is done outside is not as exquisite as what the Fang family does themselves.
Just this little thing, it can be seen that the Fang family is exquisite.
This longevity peach was arranged in the kitchen and asked the cook to make it.
However, the comprador in the kitchen had just been dismissed by Qingdu, and the mother in charge of the kitchen was related to the Fan Lin family, so she excused herself on the excuse that there were no suitable materials.
Yuan'er went to Qingyuan with Fang Chu and Qingmu in the past two days, and the deacons of the outer courtyard colluded with Fan's mother and others, and they also followed the prevarication, and this little thing couldn't be sent.
Chixin naturally understood the reason, and did not break it, and when she persuaded her not to move, she pressed this errand to a girl named Cai'er in the kitchen, and ordered her to buy materials and steam longevity peaches immediately.
"It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice", Cai'er did not make peach juice for longevity peaches, and she couldn't move people, so she had to swallow her anger and pay for her own money to buy peach candied fruit to boil, and steamed longevity peach steamed buns overnight. She used to work in the kitchen, but because of her diligence, she learned a craft, and finally got it done.
Chixin did not apply both soft and hard at the last moment, forcing the kitchen mother to make longevity peaches.
Who knows, Cai'er actually finished it by herself. She was amazed.
She let everyone prevaricate before, not to make a big deal out of it, but to attract the attention of the dumb. When she asked, she replied to her, saying how difficult it was for her to make people move, so as to imply that the reward was unpopular and offended the public.
When she came back, someone immediately told her about it.
Qing Du called Chixin to ask.
The bare heart will tell the reason. He looked very helpless and a little aggrieved.
Ran Qingdu didn't listen to her family, and called the kitchen mother, Cai'er, the outside comprador, the account room, Yuan'er and others together. Ask about cause and effect in person.
When he heard the reason clearly, he opened his mouth and asked Chixin: "Why do you want to send Cai'er?" ”
Because it's not Cai'er's job at all!
I wanted to speak and stopped, thinking that this was not a knowingly asked.
But she can't say it explicitly, if she says it explicitly. First, it is easy to offend the cadres of the Fan Lin family; Second. She is "eating persimmons and picking up soft pinch", what will the dumb think of her?
She didn't reply, but only subtly recounted her fruitless journey.
The dumb did not understand her difficulties, and looked at her with extreme suspicion.
It's not that she's playing tricks, it's that she's capable of it.
Qing Du felt that she was incompetent, so he picked the best bully Cai'er to top the cylinder. If Cai'er does it well, this matter will be over; If Cai'er can't do it well, she will become everyone's scapegoat.
The dumb gaze made Chixin ashamed.
I bow my head and am uneasy. What happened next was even more overwhelming.
Qing Du said first: "Cai'er will take care of the kitchen in the future." ”
He said to Yuan'er again: "You can help me pick some more people." ”
As for the mom in the kitchen, she waved her hand. Say no.
The mother was stunned, and she was about to howl when she opened her mouth, but Yuan'er knew her mute temperament, and immediately ordered someone to pull the mother out, and didn't even give her a chance to speak.
Here, Cai'er stepped forward excitedly and kowtowed to Qingdu.
The dumb life reward is twenty taels of silver, one is to make up for her private money to buy materials and supplements, and the other is to reward and encourage her to do things first and then ramp off.
Cai'er is grateful for Shane and says it's her duty.
Dumb said: "It's not easy to do your duty well. Do a good job in the future. ”
Cai'er was busy, so she stood up and stepped aside.
Yuan'er smiled at Qing'er and said, "Young grandma, please rest assured, many people in Qingyuan Bamboo Workshop have raised girls." I have already paid attention to it, picked out a lot, and have already let Zhao's mother and Lianxin train them. When the training is done to understand the rules, I will pick it up to serve the young grandmother. ”
Qingdu's smile and praise him: "Yuan'er, you are really capable." ”
No wonder Fang Chu always said that he was clever, and he was really clever.
Yuan'er glanced at Chixin quickly, and then said modestly: "What can I do!" Much more than I can do. Without me, there are others. Young grandmother, in this world, 'three-legged toads are hard to find, and two-legged people are everywhere'. Are you afraid that you won't be able to find someone who can do things practically? I'll change the comprador when I turn around, so I don't have to do it again next time. ”
Yixi's words were dumb and he couldn't help nodding.
She personally ordered Huang Hua and Fang Hu and asked Yuan'er to use them. Both of them were specially paid attention to when she recognized people that day. There's no reason, it's just that they are pleasing to the eye. And this Cai'er is also one of the maids who paid attention to that day, and when I looked at it today, it was really good. It can be seen that her vision is still very accurate.
Yuan'er had a little impression of the two people, and hurriedly agreed, muttering in her heart: Could it be that the young grandmother has privately investigated the details of these people? How do you know so clearly!
Chixin listened to Yuan'er's words of "three legs and two legs", and trembled.
Seeing that she was in a state of weakness, Qing Mu thought about it and said, "I'll let Lianxin come back to help you." ”
Chixin's lips trembled, and he didn't know whether to nod or shake his head.
Yuan'er looked at the dumb - the young grandmother is a real person who doesn't show her face!
He was about to remind the young grandmother just now to transfer the lotus heart back from Qingyuan, because he thought that the red heart was not bad in the past, so he didn't fall into the well, who knew that the young grandmother thought of it herself.
The conscience of heaven and earth, being dumb is really not deliberately slapping the naked face.
Because she saw Lotus Heart in Qingyuan, she served very well, Lotus Heart was slightly inferior in appearance than Chixin, but she was steady and down-to-earth, and she used to serve Fang Chu, so she chose Lotus Heart to come back and share the responsibility with Chixin. Chixin used to be in charge of the big and small things in Fang Chu's courtyard, but at that time, Fang Chu was not married, and things were monotonous; Now that they are married and have opened their doors, there are many more things and they are much more complicated. Look, as soon as those old servants made a fuss, their hearts were flustered.
Therefore, it is normal to deploy people in a dumb manner.
But Chixin couldn't calm down, she realized: If something like this happened again, she would be replaced by Lotus Heart or any other heart, not to mention staying with the eldest young master, it would be difficult to stay in the Fang family.
Therefore, she decisively stepped forward and knelt down, asked for a penalty of two months of moonsilver, and promised the dumb that if such a thing happened again, she would not need to drive her away from the young grandmother, she would go by herself.
Dumb nodded, "You did your best." It's just not supposed to be a lottery. ”
Chixin breathed a sigh of relief, and later forced the kitchen mother to make Shou Tao to save herself.
Because of this incident first, before Qingmu went to Beijing, she threw all the family affairs to her, of course she didn't feel easy, and she would never dare to take any more risks to find means, so she had to do things with trepidation.

Standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the frosty and desolate autumn scenery on both sides of the strait, the dumb mood is very looking forward to and very excited, the corners of his mouth have been smiling, but his thoughts have flown to the end of this trip - the capital.
