Chapter 60: Unsightly
"My aunt is so beautiful, I'm afraid Uncle Guo can't take his eyes off it when he sees it."
The lotus smiled and wrenched a clean soft handkerchief and handed it to Jade.
In the past few days, her black rash has gradually receded a lot.
Although it was not as terrifying as before, the sesame seed-like face was still ugly.
Every time Uncle Guo came over, she had to avoid it, so as not to collide with his old man's delicate eyes.
"Poor mouth!" Jade smacked at the lotus flower, wiped her face clean, and then asked, "Where is Uncle Guo now?" ”
"The slave maid heard that Uncle Guo went out to pick up a friend."
The slave took a mahogany comb and began to comb Jade's hair.
"Well, you will ask Mother Li to inform the concierge later, and if Uncle Guo comes back, you will notify me immediately."
Jade instructed the lotus flower while applying balsam to her face.
After she regained her favor, she transferred Mother Li, who had taken care of her before, and asked her to be in charge of the external affairs of the yard.
After going through this difficulty, she has seen clearly who is good and who is bad, and who is truly worthy of her trust.
Li's mother is the cronies she has cultivated vigorously.
"Yes, the slave knows."
Lotus nodded, she has been serving by Jadeite's side for the past few days, and she has seen with her own eyes how Jade has tried her best to capture the heart of Uncle Guo.
That scheming trick made her feel ashamed, so she has now stopped seducing Uncle Guo to climb up, and she is honestly a maid and serves Jade wholeheartedly.
Jade is jealous of the moon master, and she also takes great care of the lotus, and the two get along very well.
After Jade dressed up, she went out with lotus flowers and gathered all the stewards and subordinates in the house.
"Uncle Guo went to pick up the distinguished guests today, and he came back probably to hold a dinner."
"For the sprinkler room, clean the Zhengrong Pavilion again, and be sure to be dusty."
"Over there in the big kitchen, count the ingredients immediately, and make up for the ...... if you don't have enough."
Jade ordered one by one, and all the stewards in charge nodded their heads again and again, indicating that they would do so immediately after they returned.
Now there is no main owner in the uncle's mansion, and the aunt Jade is naturally the first person.
She is also capable, and she takes care of the house in an orderly manner, which is why Uncle Guo thinks highly of her.
Uncle Guo is a person who has an idea as soon as he pat his brain.
Like going to pick up Qiu Dan today, he won't think about preparing things in advance, and he will rush to hold a dinner party when he comes back.
If you don't prepare enough, this dinner party is naturally full of loopholes.
If Uncle Guo loses face, he will be beaten down, so the subordinates of Uncle Guo's Mansion will be in panic all the time.
Now that Jade is in charge of the overall situation, the people feel much more relaxed.
After Jade arranged things, she didn't immediately become the shopkeeper, but asked Li's mother to take a few people to take turns to supervise the work.
If there is one who does not carelessly, he will immediately catch it and clean it up, so the people of Uncle Guo's Mansion are now doing things very seriously.
"By the way, the old butler stays, I still have some things I need your help with."
Jade dismissed the other stewards and left the old butler alone.
"I don't know what Aunt Jade commands?"
The old housekeeper has also seen Aunt Jade's methods in the past few days, so he is becoming more and more respectful to her.
"Uncle Guo has a banquet, you have to drink and have fun with your guests, you can go to Yihong Courtyard and order ten first-class beautiful girls to stay, and there are also dancing girls to book in advance."
Jade commanded, she had already learned from Master Yue that Uncle Guo's friend was also a greedy and lustful person.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with inviting dancing girls and prostitutes to come to the house to serve.
"Yes, the old slave will do it."
The old housekeeper nodded again and again, feeling that this Jade Aunt was really thorough in everything she did, and she didn't leak a drop of water.
If she can give birth to a son and a half daughter, her position in the uncle's mansion will definitely be stable.
By the time Uncle Guo brought Qiu Dan back, it was already evening.
When he came back, he patted his head and said that he was going to hold a banquet and invite girls and dancers to help the fun.
If it weren't for Jadeite's early arrangement, he wouldn't have been able to invite any good goods at this time.
When Uncle Guo heard that Jade had arranged things properly, he immediately said happily: "Okay, good, I really didn't hurt you in vain." ”
"Whatever Uncle Guo said, this is what a concubine should do."
Jade smiled, she now understood the truth of advancing as retreating.
Sometimes the credit is not invited in order to get more credit.
"Brother, you are your concubine, not bad!"
At this moment, an oily and smooth voice sounded.
Jade looked up slightly, and saw a young man in a royal blue brocade robe looking at her with a smile.
This young man is about twenty years old, and he is quite handsome, but his eyes are not right, and there is a feeling of prodigality all over his body.
It was Uncle Guo's friend Qiu Dan.
If it were an ordinary person, Qiu Dan's words could be said to be very disrespectful.
But Uncle Guo was used to currying favor with Qiu Dan, and as soon as he heard this, he immediately said: "Hahaha, if my brother likes it, just take it." ”
Jade's heart tightened, and secretly scolded Uncle Guo for not being a good thing.
But the smile on his face didn't change at all, as if he hadn't heard their conversation.
"Haha, what did the elder brother say, as the so-called friend's wife can't be bullied, the elder brother just thinks that his sister-in-law is capable, and he is the elder brother's virtuous help."
Qiu Dan laughed.
He has read countless women, his eyes are vicious, and he can see at a glance that Jade is a woman who has had a miscarriage.
Although Qiu Dan is a scumbag, he has never touched a woman who is pregnant with a cub.
Because he felt dirty inexplicably.
Uncle Guo also knew his temperament, so he didn't hesitate to speak.
Now jade is an important tool for him to pass on his ancestry, and he is reluctant to give it away.
"Uncle Guo, the dinner is ready, do you think we should start the banquet now, or let the distinguished guests go and rest first?"
Jade asked warmly and thoughtfully, not taking what had just happened to heart at all.
"What to rest, it's rare for my brother to come here, tonight must be no drunk."
Uncle Guo affectionately hugged Qiu Dan's shoulders and entered the table.
Jade did not sit with her, but directed her subordinates to serve food and arrange other affairs for dancers outside.
Accompanying Uncle Guo and Qiu Dan were the ten girls she had invited from Yihong Courtyard at a great price.
All of them are of the highest order, speaking with a sweet smile.
Uncle Guo and Qiu Dan are both veterans in flowers.
Drinking has to be fed with a small mouth, and his hands are touching around, and the scene is gradually a little unbearable.
The little maid who was waiting next to her blushed when she saw it.
Qiu Dan was interested, and when he saw a good-looking little girl, he pulled it over and wanted to hug her.
Where had this little girl ever seen such a scene, and she screamed in fear at the moment.
Qiu Dan came up with wine and immediately slapped the little girl a few times.
Uncle Guo also thought that the little girl was disappointed, and immediately asked people to drag them down to play 20 boards and then throw them out of the house.
Not far away, under the corridor, Jade was looking at the scene in front of her.
Lotus stood behind Jade and recognized the little maid as Apricot Blossom, who was in the same room with her.
The apricot blossoms are also very beautiful, and the two of them are secretly trying to drill up on weekdays.
When she had a black rash and was disfigured, the apricot blossom still came to see her, and after a few words of cold sarcasm, she threw a tael of silver for her to see a doctor.
Now seeing Xinghua being dragged down, she couldn't help but plead bitterly to Jade: "Auntie, please save Xinghua." ”
Xinghua is just a little girl, and she will definitely die if she goes down to twenty boards.
"Don't worry, I have already told those subordinates that Uncle Guo has drunk tonight, and he may speak more heavily, let them weigh it, and they know how to do it."
After Jadeite repaid Li's mother's kindness, she began to leave some leeway in doing things.
If it was usual, it wouldn't matter to Uncle Guo to kill ten apricot blossoms.
"Thank you, Auntie, thank you."
Lotus said again and again.
"Do you still regret the rash on your face?"
Jade glanced at the lotus flower.
The lotus touches the black rash on her face.
She had never understood why Master Moon said that it was not a bad thing for her to have a black rash.
Now I see the fate of the apricot blossom and finally understand.
With her figure and appearance, if she waits at the banquet tonight, there is a chance that she will end up like an apricot blossom.
Even if he thinks of himself as a snake, serving that noble man Qiu Dan will not end well.
Qiu Dan is not as good as Uncle Guo.
Serving Uncle Guo can still get a place in the concubine's room, no matter how bad it is, she is a girl in the room.
Qiu Dan looks like the kind of person who plays around.
When he has had enough, he pats his ass and leaves, leaving her with broken flowers and willows, how long can she stay in Uncle Guo.
The more Lotus thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she shook her head again and again and said, "The slave doesn't dare." ”
Just as the lotus and the jade were talking.
Not far away, two pairs of eyes were observing Uncle Guo's every move.
