Between Lan Linzi and Master Zhang, between Master Zhang and Mrs. Zhang, it is full of gunpowder every day. After being so anxious for a few days, the shop failed to sell steamed buns for a few days. And Master Zhang couldn't get out of bed by himself, the injuries on his body were serious, and his daughter-in-law didn't listen to him, so he couldn't eat or drink medicine, and his body was getting worse and worse.

Master Zhang was afraid of delaying the business of the owner, and he didn't want to reveal the preparation method of the filling to Lan Linzi, so he called Da Mao to his side and asked Da Mao to swear that he would never reveal it to anyone, so he taught Da Mao the concoction method and told Da Mao some secret skills. He was so cautious because he was afraid that Lan Linzi would find the key point of the concoction method according to the materials used.

With Master Zhang's guidance, he tried again and again, and Da Mao practiced for two days before he got Master Zhang's permission, and hurriedly took over the position of Master Zhang's filling preparation. According to Master Zhang's instructions, he closed the doors and windows every time he mixed the filling, and no one was allowed to enter, and every time he mixed the filling, he had to show it to Master Zhang first.

In the first two days, a few guests said that the steamed buns in Guji did not taste as good as before, and on the third day, no one mentioned them again. In this regard, Mrs. Zhang was even more excited than Master Zhang. She felt that the family had a new reliance, and Lan Linzi couldn't get rid of their family. Besides, she tried her best to please Lan Linzi before, but Lan Linzi didn't buy it, but embarrassed her and Da Mao and Ermao everywhere. So, feeling that she had a new reliance, she was finally no longer submissive in front of Lan Linzi.

At this point, Master Zhang made everything he knew clear. Master Zhang had an expression of waiting to die, and Mrs. Zhang and Da Mao were trembling beside them. There was also Chef Yan, who was pale and anxious to show his loyalty to Qing Shu, saying that he recognized Lan Linzi, but he was definitely not Lan Linzi's accomplice, and he didn't know anything about what had happened in the shop recently.

Qing Shu had a calm face, and pointed at Lan Linzi and Chef Yan, "The two of them dragged them to the backyard one by one, and Miss Ben had something to ask them." Then pointed to Zhang Niangzi, "Xiaojuan, lock her up alone first, watch her, even out of the air, and then ask her something." ”

Zhou Boyan, who had been sitting quietly next to Qing Shu, suddenly spoke, "Mrs. Zhang handed it over to you, as for the two of them, you don't have to ask in person." Stones, bring people down, so that they can be entertained. The others, don't go anywhere, just stay here. ”

Although he borrowed his people, he didn't want his people to get involved too much. So Qing Shu opened his mouth to refuse, "I know that you mean well, I understand it." I still have to deal with it, I don't have to ......."

Zhou Boyan interrupted her, "Ah Shu, it's decided." ”

In the firewood room in the backyard, Zhang Niangzi knelt on the ground, and Qingshu sat on a chair. Qingshu didn't look at Zhang Niangzi, nor did she open her mouth to ask Zhang Niangzi any questions, she just sat like that. The more this is the case, the more nervous and scared Zhang Niangzi becomes, and she can't implement everything in her heart.

A scream, a painful "I recruited, I recruited." "Into their ears. Qingshu was unmoved. And Mrs. Zhang actually fell to the ground in a kneeling position and cried bitterly.

"Miss Please, don't kick our family out. Hmm...... It was the woman who had undeserved greed and wanted to be in charge of the shop all the time, but because the young lady said that she had to hire the shopkeeper, she felt unfair. The woman felt unfair, and our husband and wife worked hard to support the shop for the young lady, but the young lady wanted to invite the shopkeeper to come back and press on the heads of our husband and wife, the woman was very unwilling, resentful in her heart, and acted without rules, giving the Lan shopkeeper the opportunity to exploit the loopholes. Hmm...... It doesn't matter how Miss punishes the woman, just beg Miss not to drive our family away, beg Miss, beg Miss ......"

Looking at Mrs. Zhang's crying and begging for mercy, Qing Shu thought of a sentence: Poor people must have something to hate.

What she Gu Qingshu did, in the eyes of people in this era, is simply the reborn parents of the four members of the Zhang family. But how did Mrs. Zhang repay her? Knowing that there was a difference, he ignored Master Zhang's proposition, took advantage of Master Zhang's inability to move, acted arbitrarily, and allowed the ill-intentioned Lan Linzi to run rampant in the shop, not only did not stop it, but also allowed him to be a blessing, and did not report to the owner in time. What is the intention?

She gave the four members of the Zhang family a shelter from the wind and rain, and she let the four members of the Zhang family have work to do and wages to get, so that their family of four has a new start, and let them save more than the upper and lower savings. A remnant soldier, a woman, two underage boys, and anyone else, can they be given such a chance and such a job? It's really a lack of people's hearts. It's ridiculous to say that she worked hard to prop up the shop for her; It is unfair to say that it is unfair to ask the shopkeeper to come back and take charge of the shop.

When the wings grew stiff, I thought carefully, which was really realistic. There are many people waiting to do things for her, if it weren't for the fact that Master Zhang is a veteran soldier and has a good character, where would there be Mrs. Zhang's future!

Qing Shu said indifferently, "What wrong things have been committed, tell them one by one." If you recruit yourself, Miss Ben can still open the net; If you are not honest enough, let Miss Ben turn out something, hum! ”

So, Mrs. Zhang recruited a few things. Lan Linzi once asked her to ask Master Zhang how to prepare the filling of Guji buns. Lan Linzi promised, the matter came true, took her away from Guji, and promised the benefits of one hundred taels of silver. She didn't say yes. Moreover, Lan Linzi was able to quickly subdue the kitchen chores, and she played a great role. She and Lan Linzi secretly reached an agreement, and the money in the shop went into Lan Linzi's hand, and she was to give her a centimum. However, she soon found out that she had fallen for Lan Linzi, and the two turned against each other. She was very angry and regretted it, but this kind of thing was not easy to tell, so she had to swallow this dumb loss.

Xiaojuan got Qingshu's instructions and tied Zhang Niangzi in the firewood room.

Qing Shu walked out of the firewood room first, and saw Zhou Boyan standing in the backyard with his back to her and his hands behind his back. She asked, "Did you ask anything over there?" ”

Zhou Boyan turned around when he heard the voice, "Yes." ”

Qing Shu frowned and looked up at the sky, "You say, should I hit the Chen Mansion and beat his eldest brother and beat him up?" ”

"You! Don't be impulsive. You don't have to ask for someone, the Chen Mansion will hand them over and let you dispose of them. dares to do things that damage the reputation of the master behind his master's back, such a slave, no master is willing to protect it. ”

Qing Shu stopped talking, so she said that. With the relationship between the ancient mansion and the Chen mansion, if there is something, he will naturally sit down and say clearly, how can he really do it. It's just that she is very unhappy in her heart, and the changes of the minions below will not be unnoticed by the master. Some people must have pretended to be deaf and dumb and acquiesced, otherwise how could such a thing happen. The second and third masters of the Chen Mansion, she had never seen them. The second lady and the third lady had met once, just last night when Mrs. Chen entertained her. This is the first time they met, she just said hello to the second lady and the third lady out of courtesy, and she didn't say a word, whether it was before or last night, she shouldn't have offended the people in the second and third masters. So, what's the problem?

When it was almost noon, the Chen Mansion sent someone over to invite Qing Shu back for lunch. Qing Shu refused, and deliberately let the people from the Chen Mansion see Lan Linzi who was tied to the shop. A maid from Chen's mansion was very surprised, and when she pulled Xiaojuan to speak, she asked the matter clearly.

In just half an hour, the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion and another steward beside the third master arrived. There was no need for Qing Shu to come forward, naturally someone would tell the two of them the ins and outs of the matter.

In the afternoon, after Qingshu arranged the things in the shop, he returned to Chen's house. As soon as she stepped into the door, she saw a man in his thirties who was tied up with flowers. Looking at the dress, you can see that it is a steward-level figure in the Chen Mansion. Seeing that he is tied up and kneeling again, he should be a slave who has made a mistake.

Steward Chen stepped forward and took a deep look, "Miss Gu, the master is aware of the unpleasantness that happened in your shop, and he also found out that this matter is related to the traitorous minions in the mansion. This person's name is Liu An, and he does things properly on weekdays, so he was promoted to a small steward. He has a brother-in-law named Lan Linzi, who is the one who made trouble in Miss Gu's shop. Miss Gu shopped the matter, which was related to Liu An, so Mrs. ordered Liu An to be tied up and handed over to Miss Gu, and Mrs. instructed her, but Miss Gu disposed of it. ”

Qing Shu didn't dare to say anything, and did not take over Liu An, but went straight to Mrs. Chen's courtyard. After a salute, Qing Shu sat down. "Madam, whether this Steward Liu is guilty or not has to be asked and confirmed before a conclusion can be made. Now it's just Lan Linzi's one-sided division, and one qiqi will not have a result until the two of them face each other. Before that, Steward Liu was innocent. Therefore, even if the person is tied up by his wife and given to the juniors, the juniors cannot accept it. ”

Mrs. Chen affectionately grabbed one of Qing Shu's hands, "Look at you, you have taken up the livelihood of a family at a young age, and you have your own set of words and deeds, good, good, hehe......." Kid, you've worked so hard. Since this steward Liu took the person surnamed Lan to your shop to find trouble, he naturally colluded with the person surnamed Lan, and he must not be able to get out of the relationship. This man, if you take him away, you will be carefully interrogated. ”

Qing Shu smiled slightly, "Mrs. Xie's generosity." However, in Jinyang City, the juniors do not have their own mansions, and they are not sure whether Steward Liu is involved. Therefore, the younger generation took the liberty of thinking that Steward Liu should stay in your mansion as the superior, as long as the younger generation needs it, Mrs. can let the younger generation see Steward Liu at any time and ask some questions, and the younger generation is grateful to Mrs. ”

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she smiled and said, "You girl! That's it. ”

When Qingshu returned to the courtyard arranged by Chen's mansion, Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong were sitting under the cloister to write silently, but Chen Qiaojiang made trouble from time to time, either poking Qingyang's back with his fingers, or pulling Luo Xiaorong's collar or hair from time to time, which did not make people live in peace at all.

"Qingyang, Xiaorong, my sister is back." Qing Shu said hello from a distance.

Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong immediately hugged the book in their hands, threw off Chen Qiaojiang, and ran up to greet Qingshu.
