On the second day, Gu Qingzhu got up early, Chunying served her to wash and make up, Mu Jincheng was coaxed and persuaded by Baoying, so he was forced to die, and went to private school after breakfast.

I don't know how much she listened to last night's words, Today Mu Jincheng only had time to admonish, use his eyes more and move his mouth less.

At three o'clock, Gu Qingzhu took Chunying to Chaohui Courtyard, for fear that the Lu family would say that she was squeamish, Gu Qingzhu asked Chunying to remove the thick strips of cloth on her hands, and only wrapped a layer of palms.

The Lu family was still having breakfast, and Gu Qingzhu respectfully greeted An, and sat quietly on the side and waited.

Song Yunxiang also got a letter yesterday evening, although she didn't come as early as Gu Qingzhu, but it was not too late, Song Yunxiang, who had changed the core in the past few days, has been adapting to one body and two souls.

Song Yunxiang's original everything has been completely preserved, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, needle and female red, and there are also a lot of modern people's ideological knowledge, these two souls have been fighting for the active control of the body, and now the original owner is declining, and outsiders are gradually showing their edge.

After breakfast, the Lu family led Gu Qingzhu and Song Yunxiang into the east wing, and the seven or eight housekeepers who were waiting for the matter at the moment were standing in the room talking, and when they saw the housewife coming, they immediately shut up and saluted respectfully.

The Lu family sat down in the middle, Gu Qingzhu and Song Yunxiang stood beside her, and she said lightly: "From now on, the young lady and Miss Biao will follow and listen to things, you are all experienced grandmothers, and you must teach them more in the future." ”

Gu Qingzhu and Song Yunxiang bent down and blessed themselves, and the mother-in-law hurriedly returned the salute, and said in unison: "The slaves and maids don't dare, they should do their best to assist their masters!" ”

"What's going on today?" Lu Shi asked as he picked up the hot tea on the table.

Four or five mothers-in-law stepped forward in turn, and said some daily trivial things, nothing more than a yard of flowers and trees were frozen to death by the last heavy snow, and needed to be replaced with new ones, and a section of wooden lattice windows in the wind garden was broken in a few places, and the craftsmen should be invited to repair it, and the wheat that fed the herons in the garden was almost gone, whether to wait for the Zhuangzi to send it or take it in the grain store.

Such small and trivial things, Lu Shi listened to it and gave a reply, and the tea in her hand had not been finished before it was finished, and it had been dealt with.

"Anything else?" Lu Shi put down the teacup, took out a silk handkerchief and pressed the corner of his mouth.

A chubby mother-in-law stepped forward and said: "Madam, the flower lady who is in charge of flowers and trees in the garden, her eldest son is on an errand in the second gate, he is twenty years old this year, and he has not yet been married. ”

"Apple?" Lu raised his eyebrows: "Is the eldest son of Mrs. Hua the one who specializes in spreading words in the second gate?" ”

"Exactly." The fat woman nodded.

Lu Shi said coldly: "You go back and tell Hua Pozi to let her change her choice as soon as possible, Xiangping is not something that people like them can support." ”

The fat woman said in a loud voice: "Madam is wise, I have also persuaded the flower woman like this, Xiangping's girl is above the top, how can she look at the honest child of the big bolt, if she reluctantly gets together, she will also make trouble in the future." ”

Lu Shi waved his hand impatiently: "You are not optimistic, and you directly refuse, this kind of unreliable thing, don't talk about it here in the future, it will be a waste of time." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The fat woman retreated abruptly.

Another mother-in-law wearing a silk jacket and skirt said: "Madam, in a few days, Miss Jie's Miss Rou will be full moon, and the master has already instructed the chief housekeeper to prepare a gift for Su Mansion, let me prepare a congratulatory gift for the inner courtyard, and ask Mrs. to show it." ”

"It's not easy for Jiecheng to become this child, and it is the first child in the junior, our grandfather's family, naturally we want to give double gifts, two pieces of fabric for the four seasons, a pair of gold and silver longevity locks, a pair of silver bracelets, ten gold and silver bills, ginseng bird's nest and other supplements, and a new set of noodles this spring." Lu Shi pondered and said.

"Yes, slave and maid will do it." The mother-in-law was ordered to retreat.

"If it's okay, that's it for now." Lu Shi waved his hand.

The mothers-in-law bowed and retired.

"What did you say all morning?" Lu Shi turned his head and asked the two people behind him.

Gu Qingzhu was completely confused, she couldn't even recognize people, and she didn't know anything about what they said, at this moment, where did she have any ideas.

Song Yunxiang saw that she was stunned, and said humbly: "Please ask the third sister-in-law to speak first." ”

"I'm ......" The sweat on Gu Qingzhu's back instantly came down, and he said in a low voice: "Hmm...... Is it because Xiangping is my aunt's eldest girl, so she can't be married? ”

"What is Cai's thing, not to mention that she is grounded, she is good, and she is also a lowly slave, not to mention the slave and maid Xiangping, I don't agree to give the big bolt, it is taboo for them to connect inside and outside, and leak the affairs of the house to those with bad intentions outside." Lu Shi glanced at Gu Qingzhu, a little disappointed by her answer.

Song Yunxiang said with a smile: "The eldest aunt is so kind to Cousin Jie, such a heavy gift, so that she has face in her husband's family, even if it is the family of Mrs. Lingxian of Suxian County, she can't say half a word of gossip." ”

Lu Shi was a little surprised by her words, although she did this, first, she wanted to show favor to Mu Shaotang, saying that she regarded the children born to Huanniang as her own and resolved the previous cold war, and secondly, it was also to help the Mu family consolidate the relationship with Su Jin, the first thing in this is naturally to help Mu Jiecheng sit in Mrs. Su's position.

It is really not easy for the boudoir lady in front of her, who is not out of the door, to see through this, and it also makes her slightly frightened.

Lu Shi said with a calm face: "What you said is quite passable, but she is more knowledgeable than her." ”

After winning the first battle, Song Yunxiang was proud for a while, she glanced at Gu Qingzhu, who was standing on the side with her head down, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

"Yunxiang, you got up early today, you're tired, go back early and rest." Lu Shi waved his hand with concern, turned to frown at Gu Qingzhu, and said, "You are far worse than Yun Xiang, stay today, and go back after reading the account books newly sent by the Grange!" ”

"Auntie, otherwise, I'll stay with my third sister-in-law to watch." Song Yunxiang was anxious when he heard this, this was obviously to open a small stove alone.

"Your body is thin, you can't compare to her stupidity in the countryside, if you are tired, there is a bad feeling for a while, and the ancestor should be distressed again." Lu clapped her hand and said with pity.

"But ......" Song Yunxiang still wanted to argue, but heard Lu Shi say: "Nian Qi, don't bring the cloak yet, so I can accompany your young lady back." ”

This was already an obvious expulsion, so Song Yunxiang had to bow down and retreat unwillingly.

At this time, Poria had already brought a thick account book and put it on the table.

"If you think about it carefully, if you don't understand it before lunch, you don't need to eat!" Lu Shi didn't look at her, got up and left.

Gu Qingzhu sat at the table and opened the first page of the blue brick-like account book.

There is a dense record of daily income and expenditure, and in the winter there is no production on the grange, almost all of which are expenses, from paying wages to three meals a day, and then from buying manure to water the ground to buying vegetables and seedlings, everything is listed one by one.

Gu Qingzhu looked carefully page by page, from those bits and pieces of records, as if she could imagine the life on the grange, she was in Gujiaao, picking tea and raising silkworms, supporting her grandmother on behalf of her father, and providing her younger brother to study, and the daily life of the family was carefully calculated by her, so looking at such an account book that costs hundreds of taels of silver, she didn't understand it at first, but after reading more, she understood.

Poria gave her some refreshments halfway through, and when she saw that she had already turned half of it, she did not feel bored, but watched it with relish, and she was very surprised for a while.

She accepted the love of inviting her to eat barbecue that day, and wanted to hide from the Lu family to come in to help her, but seeing her like this at this time, she couldn't ask her if she could understand it, so she had to bow down and retreat without a word.

"How is she over there?" Lu Shi heard the sound of the curtain, and asked without raising his eyelids.

Poria turned red, and she didn't dare to hide it: "The young lady looks carefully and seriously. ”

Lu Shi glanced at her: "You didn't teach her?" ”

Poria knelt down in a panic: "The slave didn't dare, Shicai just sent hot tea and snacks, and didn't even say a word to the young lady." ”

Lu Shi was quite annoyed and said, "This elm pimple, she didn't ask you?" It's going to be dinner now, if you let Jincheng know, I'm hungry for her, and I can't make trouble! ”

"This ......" Poria was stunned for a moment, and said for a while, "Madame is really well-intentioned!" ”

"Hey, I can't help it, Jincheng doesn't want to take care of the shop outside, if she doesn't use it, even if they become the masters of Xifu in the future, how much furniture is not enough to lose!" Lu Shi sighed and said quietly.

Poria said boldly: "I look at the young lady who seems to understand, others look at that, and she has to doze off when she turns a few pages, she seems to be very interested, and she has read half of it." ”

"Really? Lunch will be opened later, wait for her. Lu's heart was settled.

After all, her son is very precious to this girl, although she is strict with her on the face, but behind her back, she has to accommodate for the sake of her son.

After understanding the front, the back was naturally repeated, and at noon, Gu Qingzhu finished reading the account book, she stretched her waist, felt hungry, and stuffed a piece of osmanthus cake into her mouth to eat.

When Lu Shi came in, he saw her kneeling on a chair, her elbows on the edge of the table, reading the account book, and chewing with her mouth open.

"That's the rule you learned!" Lu Shi snorted angrily.

Frightened by her, Gu Qingzhu choked on the crispy and powdery osmanthus cake for a while, she coughed violently, and the crumbs spilled all over the ground.

Poria hurriedly stepped forward to help her pat her on the back, poured water for her to drink, and tossed for a while before relieving herself.

"Mother, daughter-in-law won't dare in the future." Gu Qingzhu lowered his head and wiped the tears he coughed up, and said honestly.

Lu Shi looked condescendingly, only when she cried, then said: "That's it, I won't tell you this first, account book, what do you think?" ”

"I'm done with it." Gu Qingzhu said softly.

Lu Shi sat down at the table and shook off the crumbs from the account book in disgust: "Then tell me, what did you see?" ”

Gu Qingzhu raised his head and looked at Lu Shi and said: "The winter expenses of the Grange are all allocated by the government, and the silver money allocated every month is the same, and the amount of rice charcoal bought last month and this month is the same, but this month is sandwiched by the New Year, shouldn't the people on the Grange go home for reunion, why hasn't the cost been reduced?" ”

Lu Shi made a straight face and reprimanded her: "If it is so simple, you will see that you are wrong and missing, and the stewards and accounts on the grange are all eating dry rice!" ”

Gu Qingzhu's face turned red, and he was puzzled: "Please also ask my mother to make it clear." ”

Lu Shi said carefully: "The Grange can't leave people at four o'clock last year, most of the people in the Zhuangzi are coming to the New Year with a family, and the expenses in the New Year are big, and there are still ten days in this month, so naturally they have to buy a lot of things, which is to ask for money, and the account books are sent." ”

Gu Qingzhu saw that the Lu family didn't scold her, so she had the courage to ask again: "But even so, the prices have skyrocketed during the New Year, why are these still the old prices?" ”
