Chapter 401: Liang's Scheme
Huiyuan, Songxue Hall, the courtyard where the second wife of the Gu family, Liang, sleeps. Because of Gu Licai, the second master of the Gu family, he has been busy in the study of the garden these days.
The Liang family was not in good health, so Gu Licai took pity on the Liang family, so he let the Liang family move from Suxintang to Songxue Hall, and Songxue Hall was closer to the study, so that even if something happened to the Liang family, Gu Licai would take care of it.
In the warm pavilion of Songxue Hall, several charcoal basins that were blazing had been lit in the room, and Liang leaned on the golden silk pillow behind him. Listening to the housekeeper who was waiting in the big kitchen, she reported the expenses of the big kitchen in the house in order to prepare for the New Year.
"Second wife, these account books were brought by the old slave from Chengyuan. When the old slave brought it over, the spring cicada girl who was waiting next to the eldest lady also said to the old slave that if there was anything wrong with these account books, just take them and check them with the account books in the hands of the spring cicada girl. ”
The housekeeper's mother-in-law who served in the large kitchen of Huiyuan was surnamed Li, and she was picked up by the Liang family.
Although it was not brought out by the Liang family from the Liang Mansion in Jinling, it was also an old man who had followed the Liang family for many years and was an old man who served by the Liang family.
Taking the account book handed over by Mrs. Li, Liang roughly flipped through a few pages.
Since Chun Chan can hand over this account book to Mrs. Li for checking, it means that this account book has been checked by Chun Chan, and the number of income and expenditure must be correct.
What's more, before Mrs. Li handed the account book to herself, she had already checked it once in private. If it weren't for that, how could Mrs. Li dare to hand the account books of the big kitchen to the Liang family like this?
The big kitchen is the place where the house fishes oil and water, it is a fat difference, and the housekeeper who used to serve in the big kitchen, when it comes to redeployment, which one is not full of money?
Liang flipped through the account book in his hand, and the maid who was waiting beside him had already gone down to make tea.
"The young lady is learning housekeeping with the eldest lady in Chengyuan these days, how are you learning? Today, when you went to Chengyuan to report to the eldest lady, you saw the young lady?"
Mrs. Li was stunned for a long time, and after thinking about it for a while, she replied.
"Madam, the young lady is in the big lady's courtyard these days, and the housekeeper has learned very well, and the mothers-in-law who taught the young lady to look at the accounts in the account room all said that the young lady has made rapid progress. The mother-in-law just taught the young lady to read an account, and the young lady could draw inferences from one another and learn to read other account books by herself. ”
Listening to Mrs. Li's praise for the Hai family, Liang sighed and said.
"I hope that she can learn the skills of housekeeping, so that she can help me and manage this great garden.
I didn't look down on her, I fell in love with the girl from the Lin family in Fujian, but the lord looked down on her, and the son also fell in love with her, so I let her enter the house to serve the son. But now that I'm married, it's useless for me to talk about so many things. ”
Mrs. Li also understands the psychology of the Liang family, in the eyes of her wife, how can she look down on the Hai family in Sichuan?
Although the Hai family in Sichuan is also a family, but when put together with the real family, the Hai family is still not enough.
Even the Hai family is not as good as the Lin family in Fujian, the Lin family in Fujian is also a family that has gone through hundreds of years of ups and downs, and the people of the Lin family have been officials for generations, compared to the Hai family, which is full of white houses, if the son marries the Lin family girl and comes back, it will also be of great help to the son's future career.
Now that she has married the Hai family girl, although the Hai family girl is a good child, but after so many days, her stomach has not moved.
The reason why the old man asked his son to marry the Hai family girl back was nothing more than to look at the Hai family's girl's good birth, but now the Hai family girl's stomach is not moving, and the wife looks like she may be in a hurry.
Now Mrs. Li has not figured out Liang's liking and dislike of Hai, so she doesn't plan to help Hai say a few words, but just according to her duty, she replied.
"Madam, since the young ladies are married from the Hai family, if we talk about it again, I'm afraid it will be ours."
"The young lady is now learning to be a housekeeper in the eldest lady's house, and the people in the house have already discussed you a lot about the young lady, if you do anything to the young lady again, I am afraid that the people in the house should be dissatisfied with your actions towards the young lady."
Mrs. Li didn't want to speak for the Hai family, but she didn't think that in the end, she would still talk a few games for the Hai family.
Liang listened to Mrs. Li say this, his face sank, and he glanced at Mrs. Li coldly.
"Mother Li, what you just said, the people in the house have a lot of discussions about me, I want to know, who are the people you are talking about? What kind of person dares to have such courage to chew the root of the master's tongue in the house, does he not want to live? ”
"Madam, the old slave doesn't know! The old slave listened to the maids who served in the house, where would they know who was behind it, chewing the root of your tongue, Mrs., if the old slave found out, the old slave would be the first to spare her. In order not to get involved in this matter, Mrs. Li could only reply like this.
Dingwu Marquis Mansion.
"Madam, the second room of the Gu family has entered the villains, after a small inquiry, those villains have occupied the second room of the Gu family, the door of the house is closed, the courtyard door is locked, and no one is allowed to enter."
After the little guy finished speaking, he stepped aside and waited for Tao's dispatch.
"Is this news true? The second room of the Gu family, really entered the villain? So the whereabouts of my brother, can I call someone to investigate? Did you come out?"
"Back to the eldest wife, the little one has already sent someone to inquire, but the courtyard door of the second room of the Gu family is locked, and the little one can't inquire about this matter clearly. But what the little one can know is that the brother must be alive and well, and there is no worry about his life, so please don't worry about the eldest wife. ”
The little guy knelt on the ground in front of Dow, and replied to Dow's words like this.
Feng on the side also heard the little guy's reply, and Feng also remembered Jiang Zhiming in his heart, and also asked.
"Brother Ming, is it true that he is not worried about his life? If my brother has any mistakes, I won't be the first to spare you guys to find out the news. Finding out the news is so slow, I don't know what to eat?"
"Old lady, it's not that the little ones are useless, it's just that the second room of the Gu family is a big family, and the small ones can't get the news, so is it difficult to call the little ones to climb the wall and enter the second room of the Gu family to inquire about the news?"
As he spoke, the little guy fell to his knees and listened to the Dow in the room.
"Mother, I don't complain about these little girls, if they didn't go to inquire about the news, I'm afraid that my daughter-in-law wouldn't know about my brother's situation now. As long as she knows that her brother is now safe and sound, her daughter-in-law will be relieved. ”
When Tao's words fell, Mrs. Qin, who was serving beside Tao, reminded Tao.
"Auntie, didn't you say you were going out? Why are you still staying in the house? Don't you want to go out again, and want to stay with your wife and old lady?"
Aunt Feng glanced at Mrs. Qin, took a few sips of her in her heart, her face was still kind, and she replied to Mrs. Qin lightly.
"Mother Lao is worried, since my mother and eldest wife don't want me to stay in the house, then the concubine can leave. Don't bother the lady and the old lady to discuss things. ”
