Chapter 5 Who is reliable

"Chunchen, whose mother-in-law is arguing with Xia Xi today? What's in charge of the big kitchen? After returning to the room, Shu Manyao asked, Chunchen is very lively, and he likes to talk to people the most.

"It's Mrs. Luo, she was Mrs. Luo's companion room, and then Mrs. was assigned to Luo Liang, then Luo Liang is now the second housekeeper in the outer courtyard, in charge of the back office, the carriage room and the pantry." After thinking about it, Chunchen added two more sentences: "Mrs. Luo's youngest daughter is now on an errand in the courtyard of the third girl, but she is just a third-class little maid." ”

"How old is that girl?" Shu Manyao asked casually while taking the needle and thread, Chunchen thought about it for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "Eleven or twelve?" ”

"Only eleven or twelve years old, it can only be a third-class person, in our house, the big girls are seventeen or eighteen, how can the second-class maids have thirteen or fourteen, at her age, if you want to rise, you can only stay up first. Is Luo Pozi the same in the big kitchen? What does she do? ”

"Because Mrs. Luo was originally Mrs. Madame's wife, so, in the big kitchen, she is indeed the leader, and she is only responsible for cooking Mrs.'s meals." Chunchen knew almost everything in this mansion, except for the outer courtyard, of course.

"Is there anyone who doesn't deal with Luo Pozi?" Shu Manyao pinched the two embroidery threads to contrast the colors, and Chunchen smiled and helped her divide the threads: "Girl, there are many people offended by this Luo Pozi, her temperament will be stammered with Mrs. all day long, and whoever wants to use things in the big kitchen has to talk to her, she says that if she doesn't use it, she won't use it." The slave maid heard that she secretly brought all the good things in the big kitchen back to her house, and her daughter was so fat at a young age! ”

Chunchen stretched out his hand and gestured, Shu Manyao was also a little surprised, that body size was comparable to three of herself.

Chunchen continued to say with great interest: "If you want to say that this is the most wrong with Mrs. Luo, it is the tall lady in the big kitchen, this tall lady is also the wife's dowry, but she is accompanied by a family, her man is now working on the lady's dowry Zhuangzi, she and her children stay in the house, she has three daughters and a son, and she also wanted to send her daughter to the courtyard of the second or third girl." ”

"It's just that there is no shortage of people in the yard of the second girl, only there is a shortage of people in the yard of the third girl, so she and Mrs. Luo stared at the position of the third-class maid together, but when Mrs. Luo was cooking for Mrs., she deliberately made a few things that Mrs. liked the most, and when she went to Mrs. Thanks' yard, she said this, one step ahead of Mrs. Gao, and Mrs. Gao's daughter couldn't go."

Chunchen was a little gloating: "It just so happens that Mrs. Gao is in charge of Mrs. Tang's soup, what Mrs. Gao is best at is stewed soup, and she uses a lot of things. ”

Don't look at the things that everyone is responsible for in the big kitchen, it stands to reason that no one can delay anyone, as long as you do your own thing. But as long as there are people, it is to compete for the best.

Besides, there is a lot of oil and water in the big kitchen, whoever is valued by the top, whoever says it will work, and this purchase also has to give some face. Besides, if there is no leader, no one is convinced, so wouldn't the kitchen be messy?

"Then whose yard is the tall lady's daughter in now?" Shu Manyao frowned and thought for a while and asked, Chunchen, a jack-of-all-trades, immediately answered: "Girl, you forgot, that little lotus in our yard is the daughter of Gao Da Niang." ”

"Little lotus?" Shu Manyao didn't think about it, Chunchen spontaneously explained: "The slave forgot that the girl doesn't often see the little maids below, this Xiaohe, before Mother Yang said that it must be a spy sent by Madame, so it is easy not to let Xiaohe enter our yard." ”

"Who in our yard is good friends with Xiaohe?" Shu Manyao asked, Chunchen shook his head with a smile: "No, Mother Yang will lose her temper when she sees anyone talking to Xiaohe." ”

Shu Manyao was helpless and sad, if the nurse was really ......

"You find someone to talk to Xiaohe, and talk more about how majestic Luo Pozi is, maybe in two years, Luo Pozi will be able to completely pinch the big kitchen in her hands." Shu Manyao looked at Chunchen and said word by word, although she can't tell who around her can believe and who can't, she can only test step by step.

Chunchen blinked, Shu Manyao was very serious, smiled, and nodded in response: "Girl, don't worry, the slave knows what to do." ”

After letting Chunchen go out, Shu Manyao called Xia Xi again: "You offended Luo Pozi today, and you will personally go to make amends to Luo Pozi later, remember, let people see your sincerity, but this matter is your own business, and it has nothing to do with me, and you can't lose my face, you know?" ”

Xia Xi was startled, looked up at Shu Manyao, and saw that Shu Manyao's face was calm, but his eyes were a little dark, and he hurriedly responded: "Girl, don't worry, the slave knows what to do." ”

After the salute, Xia Xi also went to think about doing things. Shu Manyao called Qiu Chao again: "Do you know about Yujian in Xia Xi today?" You say, will this affect me? ”

Qiu Chao was stunned for a moment, and then frowned: "Girl, what did you say, how could the things that Xia Xi provoked affect you?" Besides, Sister Xia Xi didn't do anything wrong about this matter, they were all the mothers-in-law in the big kitchen, it was so hateful, the slaves didn't believe it, and when the second girl and the third girl also went to the kitchen to cook other things, those mothers-in-law dared to stop them. Girl, the slave maid wanted to give you a breath of relief before, but she was afraid that you would be difficult to do, and she was afraid that you would be angry, so she asked the slave and maid to say, you must not bow your head this time, didn't you go to the old lady before? Let's tell the old lady and let the old lady call the shots for you! ”

Shu Manyao looked at Qiu Chao, tilted his head, and hesitated: "Tell the old lady?" I have already told the old lady before, and the lady said that those mothers-in-law also obeyed the rules she set, and the housekeeper's thing is that there are no rules and no squares, and although the mother-in-law did not give me face, she did not do anything wrong......"

Without waiting for Shu Manyao to finish speaking, Qiu Chao said indignantly: "Girl, that's Madame's sophistry!" You're the master, why can't you use the things in this house? The second girl and the third girl go to the big kitchen every day to ask for food, and the mother-in-law didn't say that she wanted silver, they just bullied you! ”

After a pause, Qiu Chao frowned again: "However, since Madame has already said so in front of the old lady, we can't go to sue, the old lady's impression of the girl is just a little better, maybe if you make a complaint, you have to make the old lady think that you are ignorant." In this way, the slave and maid secretly went to the big kitchen to guard, to see when the second girl and the third girl went to ask for something, and how much silver they gave to the woman, if it was too much, we would not be silent, if not, we would poke this thing out. ”

As he spoke, he felt that what he said was wrong: "I can't poke it out, there is a lady in the back, maybe I have to say that the lady has given the silver earlier, and we can't check the lady's account book." ”

After thinking about it, Qiu Chao clapped his hands and looked excited: "Girl, let's do it, the slave maid will inquire about what bad things Luo Pozi has done, let's go directly to the old lady and replace Luo Pozi!" This move can be angry and powerful, see who dares to offend the girl in the future! ”

Shu Manyao hesitated: "Is this okay?" Mrs. Luo is Mrs. Luo, who should we ask about Mrs. Luo's crimes? What if it is discovered by Na Luo Pozi and beats a rake? Madame will not spare us. ”

Qiu Chao patted his chest: "Girl, wrap it on the slave maid, just wait, the slave and maid will definitely not alarm the lady!" ”

After hesitating for a moment, Shu Manyao nodded: "That's okay, you must be careful, you must not be discovered, otherwise, grandmother should think that I am unreasonable." ”

Waiting for Qiu Chao to leave in a hurry, Shu Manyao called Dong Du again: "Dong Dusk, I have something I want to tell you." ”

Winter Dusk Mu nodded blankly, and saluted with a straight look: "Girl, please command." ”

"I heard that your father was on an errand in the outer court?" Winter Twilight nodded without hesitation: "If you go back to the girl, the slave's father is the gatekeeper in the outer courtyard." ”

The janitor, it sounds like a bad job, but it's definitely a fat job. Can anyone climb the gate of the prefect's house? If you want to meet the prefect, the first thing you need to do is the gatekeeper.

"A few days ago, I asked my brother to buy a book for me, this book is very expensive, and my brother has no errands. The nurse is too distressed for me and doesn't want to ask for my silver, but I'm afraid that the nurse and brother will suffer at home, you let your father secretly inquire, what the nurse eats on weekdays, what they use, and how much money is spent, but this thing can't alarm the nurse, so you can't be found, can your father do this? ”

Dong Du nodded without hesitation: "Girl, my father is the best at reading people's faces, and he is also the best at reading what others wear and eat, don't worry, Ming'er will give you news." ”

Shu Manyao nodded with a smile, rewarded Winter Twilight with a pair of earrings, and when Winter Twilight went out, she couldn't help but lean back on the chair and sigh.

Next, it's up to you who is more reliable. If everything is done, not to mention whether she can stand firm, just give the lady a little head to eat, and she can breathe a little bit in her heart.

It's not that she doesn't know that calming down is the best way, but she can't help it, she is afraid that when she sees that bodhisattva-like lady one day, she can't help but scratch that face.

If things can't be done well, it just dispelled the old lady's doubts. The people in their hearts are unreliable, and they all want to control the master, and in private, the master doesn't know how many grievances he should suffer, and he has accumulated a lot, so he wants to explode, this temperament has changed drastically, isn't it a logical thing?
