She hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Madame's words are serious." It's Xu Xing who doesn't follow the rules, how can you deign to go and see someone...... Since Madame said so, the slave maid Ming'er came to him, what important business was he busy with, Madame asked him face to face! ”

Gu Jinchao didn't look at Mother Wang, who was kneeling on the ground, but began to ask Wen Lao Wu: "Since you are in charge of the mountains, what fruit trees are planted in the mountains, and what is the annual harvest, you and I will make it clear." Wen Lao Wu blushed and said hesitantly, "Madam, little ...... Small stammering. ”

Gu Jinchao smiled faintly: "It's okay, just say it slowly." I don't want to know how many deals I make in a year, and I have a relationship with those rich and noble families, and I want to talk about things related to the grange. Hu Cheng heard a moment of retort next to him, and his face turned red. When Gu Jinchao asked him just now, he bragged about his interactions with others when he was the head of the village.

Wen Lao Wu was honest, although he stammered, he explained the situation of the Grange clearly in a few words. Of the 1,000 acres of mountainous land, only 800 acres can be cultivated, and 200 acres are used to raise poultry, including apples, pears, and grapes. In a good harvest year, you can earn five or six hundred taels.

It's already a good harvest for the mountains.

Gu Jinchao nodded after listening, then looked at Hu Cheng and said: "Look at Hu Zhuangtou is a clever person, how to reply is a science, you have to learn from Wen Lao Wu." Of the five granges I married, the smallest one was 500 acres in Xuanwu, and it was not much different from the grange in Huzhuangtou. This Zhuangzi has an income of seven or eight hundred taels of silver a year, and grows maize, wheat, and peanuts. I don't know how Hu Zhuangtou is? ”

Hu Cheng was sweating profusely when he heard Gu Jinchao's words, and couldn't help but look at Wang's mother again.

She fell to her knees, and the lady did not call her up.

Didn't she say that the new lady was young and confused, and she just had to deal with it casually? Which boudoir lady understands farming? There are also five bridal granges. Talking one after another, is this so confusing?

A 500-acre Zhuangzi can have 800 taels of input, and his 600-mu Zhuangzi is only 500 taels at most!

Hu Cheng's voice was weak: "Isn't the time when this maize was planted with peanuts...... How is it possible to grow seven or eight hundred taels of silver? The little ones aren't very capable. It's only five hundred taels a year! ”

The soft ones are afraid of the hard, and the hard ones are afraid of the horizontal ones. She just didn't want to care. Mother Wang really thought she was a bully.

Gu Jinchao smiled: "I don't know about this, when Xuanwu Zhuangtou comes over, I'll let him come and talk to you." After that, he turned his head sideways and ordered Qingpu to reward the two of them with a bag of silver naked, and led them to the back room for a cup of tea.

Mother Wang's knees were sore, but without Gu Jinchao opening her mouth, she couldn't stand up by herself, it was too unruly.

Gu Jinchao felt that it was almost there. Only then did he say lightly: "I was the granddaughter of the old lady of the Ji family, and I have been in contact with these things since I was a child, Mother Wang, don't try to fool me about this." Sister Jiang's dowry will be left to Sister Xi in the future, if you really want Sister Xi'er's good, don't provoke those people to blame me. I also have people available under my hands, so I will naturally take care of Sister Jiang's things. Do you understand? ”

Mother Wang hurriedly kowtowed: "Madam misunderstood the slave maid, no matter how bold the slave is, she doesn't dare to provoke people." "If this crime is confirmed, whoever she is left behind will be kicked out of the Chen family.

Of course, she didn't dare admit it.

Gu Jinchao knows very well what kind of person Mother Wang is, she is old and her mind does not change. It is difficult to change the position of the matter that is decided. To the Jiang family, she is definitely a loyal servant, but to her, this person is a headache for her. It's best to just put it aside and ignore it.

Gu Jinchao said: "Today, Mrs. Tai sent Mother Sun from the needlework room to come and serve, and she will take care of the affairs in my room in the future." From now on, you will take care of the three aunts and the consumption of the stove. What do you think? ”

This is a demotion in disguise, although nominally he is still a housekeeper. But there is a difference between being in charge of the house and being in charge of the stove. Mother Wang was a little incredulous, she was the person left by the Jiang family! Mother Wang kowtowed again: "Madame's orders, the slaves and maids naturally obey them." It's just that the slave maid has assisted the ex-wife in managing the third room for many years, and nothing has gone wrong...... The slave is not afraid to go to the kitchen and suffer, but she is afraid that others will criticize the lady in the future......"

She didn't do anything wrong, but Gu Jinchao transferred her to take charge of the kitchen, and the other ladies probably criticized it if they found out. What's more, she was specially left by Mrs. Chen, and Gu Jinchao didn't need her. That is also disrespectful to Mrs. Chen.

Gu Jinchao smiled lightly: "Once a son of heaven and a courtier, this is a truth that everyone understands. I'm sitting here now. Everyone else has to do the same thing. What's the point of letting someone gossip a little," she paused. "I'm more afraid of someone stabbing me in the back." ”

What's more, she didn't mean to drive Wang's mother out, but she just changed places and didn't want to be in front of her.

Mother Wang's face turned red and she couldn't speak.

She bowed and withdrew from the hall, still feeling dizzy. Until Hu Cheng hurriedly came up and pulled her: "Mother Wang, what can I do now......

The girl took him and Wen Lao Wu to the back room to eat tea, and after a while, the kitchen sent soju and wax goose over for the two to eat, Hu Cheng didn't have the heart to eat, so he slipped over to find Wang's mother while no one was watching. "As you said, let's not be too respectful to the new lady. But if she is upset, our lives will be difficult! "This matter was started by Wang's mother, and she wants to find her naturally.

Mother Wang's face was even more ugly: "You ask me who I will ask, when did I say such a thing......"

She was only hinting at two sentences. Mother Wang pulled back her sleeves and said coldly: "It's upset Madame, won't you think of a way yourself, ask me what I'm doing!" Anyway, it won't be her turn to accompany the room in the future, so Wang's mother went to the back room.

Hu Cheng was so angry that he scolded her old lady, and he didn't dare to stop her again.

If Mother Wang hadn't gone too far, Gu Jinchao wouldn't have sent her away. Gossip? When did she care about other people's gossip, and besides, if it was just such a thing, who would dare to gossip about her? She really thinks she's an ignorant little girl!

Gu Jinchao instructed the girl to send away Wen Laowu and Hu Cheng, and after a while, Chen Xi was accompanied by Qiu Tang to learn that the girl was popular.

The Jin Dynasty asked people to move a large bandage and put it under the corridor.

Children's interests come and go quickly. After a few days of studying, Chen Xi's interest was gone, not to mention that embroidery was not an easy task. She sat on the embroidery pier and looked left and right, splitting the thread slowly, and after a while, her attention fell on the poppy that had just opened in the courtyard.

Gu Jinchao saw that she didn't have the heart to learn, so he simply asked the girl to take the things down, asked Qingpu to find some gold foil paper to come over, and said to Chen Xi with a smile: "How about I teach you how to make Huadian?" "It's just a child, and I can't detain her every day, but the more I learn, the more boring I get.

Chen Xi was startled, but his eyes were very bright.

When Qingpu found gold leaf paper and came over, Jin Chao made more than ten gold flowers for Chen Xi.

In the afternoon, Chen Xi took the box and went to show Mrs. Chen, "...... My mother made it for me, but it looks good. ”

Mrs. Chen smiled and saw that little girls like some delicate and small things. She joked to Chen Xi: "Sister Xi followed her mother to learn to make Huadian, and embroidery must also be learned well, and she will embroider a Bogutu screen for her grandmother in the future." ”

Chen Xi nodded very seriously, and counted it to Mrs. Chen: "Mother taught me fifteen patterns, which can be embroidered." ”

When Mama An went out to play with Chen Xi in her arms, Mrs. Chen said to Jin Chao: "When she was a child, I asked her to practice the plum blossom seal body, practicing for two hours a day, and she cried until she practiced. Now as long as no one says anything, this kid won't touch the pen...... She has an uncertain heart, you have to pay more attention. ”

Jin Chao smiled and said, "Children are like this. ”

Old Madam Chen nodded, Mama Zheng came in and asked where to set the meal, Jin Chao was about to serve Old Madam Chen for dinner, she waved her hand and said, "...... The third child came over this morning, and I don't think he's very happy. If you go back earlier today, I'll have your second sister-in-law to serve you." ”

Isn't he happy when he leaves in the morning...... Jin Chao felt that he was somewhat incompetent. When she returned to Muxitang, she personally went to the kitchen to cook a few light dishes, but Chen Sanye never came back.

Two candles were lit in the house, and next to the wooden hall was the courtyard of the fourth room, and the night was exceptionally quiet, and you could hear the sound of talking over there.

Jin Chao took a copy of the Book of Changes from Chen Sanye's study and looked at it in a daze while lying on the Luohan bed. After a while, she was gently pushed and woken up, and it was Mother Sun: "Madam, otherwise you should have dinner first." The third master used to go to the court, and it is common for him not to come back......"

Gu Jinchao closed the book and didn't speak, Chen Yanyun didn't come back even if it was late...... Ever since she got married. She shook her head: "Heat the food in the steamer, I don't have much appetite." ”

Mother Sun smiled when she heard her say this, and brought her a cup of white fungus soup for a while.

Jin Chao took a sip of white fungus soup and read a book, and after a while, he heard the voice of the little girl. He stepped into the room with steady steps, Gu Jinchao put down the book and greeted him, untied his cloak for him and said, "You came back late today, did you have dinner?" ”

Chen Yanyun looked at her quietly, her expression was very peaceful. He handed the cloak to Tsefu next to him, and said with a smile: "If I don't have dinner, I'll let the girl set the meal." "I don't ask him why he came back late.

Chen Yanyun sighed: "Have you eaten it?" ”

Jin Chao said: "I didn't have much appetite, so I drank a bowl of white fungus soup." ”

"Then you don't have to." He bowed his head and went into the clean room.

Did he eat it or didn't he eat it? Gu Jinchao didn't bother to guess with him, and when he walked outside the door, he saw Chen Yi guarding outside. Chen Yi was startled and stammered out Madame. When she asked, Chen Yi replied, "...... The third master has been discussing with Liang Ge Lao today, and he only ate a little bit of lunch, and the dinner was sent in as it was. (To be continued)
