At this point, Mrs. Luo knew that no matter what she said, Mrs. Tai would not change her mind, so she could only hold back the dissatisfaction in her heart and swallow her anger and asked: "Who should take the position of the manager of the big treasury after the errand of the Jinshui family is removed?" ”

This happened suddenly, and Mrs. Tai didn't make any preparations in advance, so she thought about it for a while and said according to the usual practice: "Then bring up the second-class steward who originally assisted the Jinshui family in charge of the big treasury, and let her be the chief steward of the big treasury. ”

The big treasury of this Cen Mansion has arranged one and two stewards, and the steward is naturally in charge of the size of the treasury, no matter who wants to take anything from the treasury, she has to check the cards and speak before she can take it away; As for the deputy steward, he is actually the person who helps the main steward, and his position is above the steward of the four small warehouses.

Mrs. Tai's arrangement is reasonable, but as soon as she spoke, Mrs. Luo's face suddenly turned pale, on the other hand, Aunt Zhao was full of joy and radiance——— the second-class steward of the treasury who originally assisted the Jinshui family was exactly the person Aunt Zhao placed in the treasury, Mrs. Tai's move can be said to be completely as Aunt Zhao's wish, and the good show that she bothered to arrange was not in vain!

And the purpose of Mrs. Tai's beating and teaching Mrs. Luo was to make people up and down the Cen Mansion dare not snub Gu Zheng's mother and daughter, so when the newly mentioned treasury steward Zhao Sanjia came to kowtow and thank her, Mrs. Tai did not beat her with words, but only lightly instructed her: "After you become a steward, if there is still a shortage of things sent to Tingquan Academy, you must be severely punished." ”

Zhao Sanjia was full of joy when she was promoted, and she also knew what the Jinshui family was kicked out for a long time, so after listening to Mrs. Tai's admonition, she didn't dare to slack off at all, although her face was full of joy, but her tone was not very public, she only kowtowed respectfully and promised: "Mrs. Tai's instructions are all remembered by the villain, and the villain must live up to Mrs. Tai's trust!" ”

Since then, this matter has come to an end, Gu Zheng's mother and daughter can also be regarded as a fisherman, and the source of their uncomfortable life was solved through the dispute between the wives and concubines of the Cen Mansion, and Gu Zheng was very satisfied with this result.

And that Aunt Zhao can be regarded as a good person, and she is much more generous than Mrs. Luo, I saw that after she achieved her goal by listening to the affairs of Quanyuan, she immediately sent a lot of good things to Gu Zheng's mother and daughter with great fanfare, most of those things were allocated from the treasury of the Cen family, and the remaining small part was moved by Aunt Zhao from her own warehouse, which made Gu Liniang smile with joy and praised Aunt Zhao for her generosity......

However, Gu Zheng not only did not eat oil and salt, but also unceremoniously poured a basin of cold water on the beautiful Gu Liniang: "This Aunt Zhao saw that Mrs. Tai valued us, so she gave us so generously so many good things!" Mother, look at ——— if one day we don't like Mrs. Tai, Aunt Zhao will definitely step on us without hesitation! ”

Gu Liniang had obviously been bought by the things sent by Aunt Zhao, and when she saw that Gu Zheng didn't like Aunt Zhao, she immediately subconsciously opened her mouth to say good things for Aunt Zhao: "No, right?" I looked at that Aunt Zhao was not like that, and I felt that she was much easier to get along with than Mrs. Luo! At least she was more generous than Mrs. Luo, and she didn't want to harm us! ”

"I'd rather deal with someone like Mrs. Luo, she will at least be more direct when she is bad, and if she doesn't like you, she will put it directly on her face, she doesn't know how to hide and hide, but it is Aunt Zhao who smiles at everyone, and she wants to take advantage of everyone, this kind of smiling tiger is the most terrifying and the most beware!"

Gu Zheng said and did not forget to remind Gu Liniang: "Mother, don't get too close to Aunt Zhao, she is not a fuel-efficient lamp!" Her smiling face is not weak at all! ”

After the turmoil caused by the deduction subsided, Gu Zheng, under the instruction of Mrs. Tai, began to officially go to home school with several girls in Cen Mansion to learn some of the skills that girls from big families should learn today.

This incident made Gu Zheng a little excited——— she wanted to get in touch with all kinds of ancient knowledge so much! As long as she has the opportunity to study openly, even if Gu Zheng can't learn anything at home, at least she can go to school and pretend to be literate and have an excuse to find a few books to read!

Therefore, Gu Zheng was very excited when he went to school on the day of school, he woke up early in the morning and got up very consciously to freshen up, and when Spoon came in to serve, Gu Zheng couldn't help but ask curiously: "Sister Spoon, where is this school?" What will the gentlemen teach me? ”

Spoon first held a small orange and red splendid colorful flower jacket and a moon-white soft satin pleated Luo skirt and put it on the bed, and then while serving Gu Zheng and dressing the dress, he explained carefully: "The family study is located in the Wutong Garden, which connects the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, and the master invited several gentlemen to the house to teach the girls, and several gentlemen taught the girls to read and write, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and needlework and female red. ”

After listening to the spoon's introduction, Gu Zheng couldn't help but sigh and sighed: "There are so many things to learn and teach here!" I thought it was only for us to read and write! ”

After sighing, Gu Zheng felt a headache again——— can you not learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?" Although it is also one of the ancient survival skills, I heard that you have to learn ten or eight years and embroider things to eat!

Gu Zheng had a headache, and in the end he honestly asked the specific time of class: "Then how is the school time arranged?" Is it only half a day a day? ”

Spoon'er broke Gu Zheng's illusion by telling the truth: "How can half a day be enough for girls to learn those things?" However, this day is only four hours, not long, generally two hours in the morning, only reading and reading; In the afternoon, after lunch and a nap, go to work for two hours, or learn needle and female red or learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. ”

Four hours a day, converted to modern time, is eight hours, and it's not too long to catch up with the work time?!

Gu Zheng suddenly felt that going to school was actually not a very beautiful thing, it was better to tease the birds and enjoy the flowers, eat and wait for death......

It's a pity that no matter how sad and angry Gu Zheng was in her heart, after greeting Mrs. Tai with breakfast, she still had to honestly follow the girls of the Cen family to go to school at home. After several girls left the Rongshou Hall, they walked all the way to the direction of the Hanging Flower Gate, and when they were about to reach the Hanging Flower Gate, they turned left into a sandwich road with green willows hanging on both sides, and walked along the sandwich road for a while to reach the Wutong Garden.

After entering the Wutong Garden, go straight away, go to the end and bypass a screen to a spacious and bright hall, Cen Yuanniang carefully and thoughtfully pulled Gu Zheng and briefly introduced a few words, saying that this is the place where the sisters read and write.

Gu Zheng raised his eyes and looked at it, only to see a sandalwood long bookcase placed in the center of the hall, and on the upper left side of the case were inkstones, water injections, pen grids, pen holders, pen washes, paste buckets and water gates, paperweights, ring rulers and other things, and there was also a stack of slightly worn thread-bound blue books on the left, and at a glance, I knew that it was Mr. 's bookcase.

Compared with Mr.'s bookcase, the desk where Gu Zheng and the others sat was relatively smaller, and I saw a row of bookcases on the left and right sides of the room, and there were similar four treasures of the study and reading and writing utensils on the desk. In front of the case, they were each equipped with a Taishi chair, on which they were all covered with half-new and old stone blue embroidered Ruyi pattern chairs.

Cen Erniang and the others entered the room and each found their own table to sit down, but Cen Yuanniang was not in a hurry to take a seat, but smiled and pulled Gu Zheng, who was looking at the room, to the third table on the right, and invited each other: "Sister Gu, why don't you just sit behind me, and ask me if you don't understand anything." ”

Gu Zheng and Cen Yuanniang have similar temperaments and usually chat well, so Gu Zheng was willing to sit next to Cen Yuanniang, and immediately responded happily and sat down. After choosing a position, Spoon Untied the book for Gu Zheng, took out a stack of books prepared for her by Mrs. Tai, and placed them in the corner of the bookcase like others.
