Mrs. Chen had a good relationship with Zhou Yixuan, and then took her hand and introduced her: "This is your third aunt......"

Zhou Yixuan had already noticed Gu Jinchao sitting next to him.

The strange woman, not yet twenty years old, combed her hair in a bun, and was stunningly beautiful. She had already guessed if this was the third aunt who had just entered the door. stood up and bowed to Gu Jinchao, and said with a smile: "...... I've wanted to meet you for a long time, you're so good-looking! ”

Saying that, she felt a little awkward in her heart, this woman didn't look a few years older than her.

Gu Jinchao stood up and gave her the meeting gift he had prepared. He politely praised her a few more words.

Zhou Yixuan opened the brocade box through a small gap and looked inside.

It's not good to see the gifts from people in person, but Zhou Yixuan doesn't care. Seeing that it was not an ordinary gold and silver thing, but a slender blue glazed porcelain vase, he couldn't help but sigh: "Third aunt, what are you sending here?" It looks so chic. ”

"Rose dew. When you wash your hair or bathe, add a drop, it smells great. Gu Jinchao told her.

Zhou Yixuan's eyes lit up, she opened the porcelain bottle and smelled it, she couldn't put it down.

Pulling Mrs. Chen, she said affectionately: "Grandmother, the third uncle is so good!" ”

Old Madam Chen looked proud, smiled and said, "Of course! Next time you try the lotus leaf rice she made, it's fragrant. ”

Jin Chao smiled slightly.

Since the last time she made lotus leaf rice for everyone, Mrs. Chen had to mention this lotus leaf rice whenever others praised her.

Although Zhou Yixuan's mother is only a concubine, she is the only girl who grew up next to Mrs. Chen, and her feelings are very deep, and Mrs. Chen also loves Zhou Yixuan very much. Zhou Yixuan also has two brothers above her, and they protect her tightly. So the temperament is also very simple and cheerful.

After talking for a while, Mrs. Chen personally accompanied Zhou Yixuan to the place where she lived temporarily, and asked each room to go back first.

Seeing that it was getting late, Jin Chao asked the small kitchen to prepare dinner.

The third master came back a little late today, so she read a book in the study for a while. Outside the study, crickets kept barking, and there was a mother-in-law shuttling around in the yard with a wooden basin. Jin Chao saw from the fan that Wang's mother was standing under the corridor to train a little girl, and the little girl had her back to her, crying and sobbing.

She called Caifu in and asked, saying that the little girl was not paying attention when she was burning the fire, and the elbow stewed in the pot was mushy. Wang's mother was angry...... Let the girl pay her elbow's money, three pennies of silver. ”

Gu Jinchao frowned: "Three coins of silver? "What an elbow, so expensive.

She asked Tsefu to call Wang's mother in for questioning.

Mother Wang asked with a smile: "What is the matter with the slave and maid, who is looking at the cooking in the small kitchen." ”

Jin Chao smiled slightly: "Mother Wang is in charge of the kitchen, so she should be familiar with the purchase price of various things." Let me ask you, how much is this rice and how much is a stone now? ”

Wang's mother replied, "That's ...... About four pieces of silver. ”

Jin Chao nodded and said, "Four dollars and six cents, enough for a family of four to eat for half a year." Let me ask you again, how do you count this fine pork? ”

Mother Wang didn't understand what Gu Jinchao meant. She called herself over and asked what was this for?

Although she is in charge of the kitchen, she doesn't need to look at these items one by one, she is at most staring at the work on the stove.

Jin Chao nodded and said: "Mother Wang, you have been on an errand in the Chen family all the year round, and it is normal for you not to know these firewood, rice, oil and salt, then let me tell you, it is two cents of silver and one catty." How much meat can you buy with three coins of silver, Mother Wang...... Why don't you do the math for me? ”

When Mother Wang heard this, she immediately understood in her heart, and knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Madam, the slave maid just punishes the little girl, and she doesn't have a long memory if she doesn't punish her."

Gu Jinchao said lightly: "So you fined her three coins of silver?" How do you let her get it to you? If such words come out, wouldn't it be rumored that I treat my subordinates harshly, and I won't even let go of a little girl who has just left her head. "The little girl who bought it like this doesn't even have a monthly routine.

Wang's mother said again: "Madam, three coins of silver is really not much! What's more, the elbow soup was stewed for the fourth lady to drink. The slave and maid specially used white elbows and ham to hang the soup, and boiled it for more than two hours. I want to make up for the ...... of Miss Four's body."

Stewed for Chen Xi?

Chen Xi is now moving to the back of Muxitang, and Jin Chao sees that it is convenient, and always orders the small kitchen to make something for her. But she hadn't ordered elbow soup.

Gu Jinchao's eyelids jumped: "...... Are you going to see Miss Four in private? ”

Mother Wang was a little anxious: "The fourth miss is seriously ill, so the slave maid said a few words to the fourth lady, persuading her to take care of her illness or something." ”

Gu Jinchao asked her coldly, "Who allowed you to go and see it?" ”

If it weren't for Mother Wang in his previous life, how could Chen Xi have grown up like that!

She still wants to contact Sister Xi now?

Gu Jinchao summoned Cai Fu and asked her to invite Chen Xi over immediately.

Chen Xi came over with the girl who was waiting for her, obediently bent down and called her mother, and said curiously: "Mama Wang is also here?" ”

Jin Chao asked her to sit beside her, and asked her with a smile: "Sister Xi, tell your mother well, has Mother Wang been to see you and whispered to you?" ”

Chen Xi hesitated a little, but finally nodded: "Mama Wang said that I can't tell you, and if I say you, you will scold me......"

Mother Wang's face turned pale and she opened her mouth.

Gu Jinchao took a deep breath and rubbed her hair: "How could my mother scold you." You only told your mother, what did Mother Wang tell you? ”

Chen Xi hesitated even more.

After a while, she shook her head gently.

Gu Jinchao asked her softly, "What's wrong?" Mother won't say anything about you. ”

Chen Xicai whispered: "I'm afraid you'll be angry......"

"If you don't say it, I'm going to be angry."

Gu Jinchao's face remained unchanged, and he touched her head with a smile: "Do you like to kick shuttlecocks?" ”

Chen Xi hummed and asked her again: "Mother, isn't it dignified for girls to kick shuttlecocks?" ”

Gu Jinchao said: "How could it be. ”

Chen Xi nodded, and asked her again: "Mother, is it ...... No one will remember my mother after that? "My eyes are wide open, I don't really understand, but I seem to understand a little." Isn't it like my rabbit died, and the girl didn't remember it anymore and didn't feed it. The cage in which it was kept is also gone. ”

Gu Jinchao sighed lightly in his heart. Children without mothers are really extra sensitive.

She said: "Isn't there still Sister Xi who remembers, and your brother remembers, and your father remembers." Everybody remembers. ”

Chen Xi thought for a while, thoughtful.

Gu Jinchao asked Cai Fu to send Chen Xi back first, and she had to deal with Wang's mother's problem first.

Mother Wang pursed her lips, not knowing what to say, and opened her mouth: "Husband...... Madam...... The words of a child cannot be trusted......"

Gu Jinchao stretched out his hand to signal her not to say anything, and then she said, "I originally thought that you served Sister Jiang, and there was no merit and hard work." Even though you are arrogant, I don't really punish you. Who knew that you were so bold that you dared to tease me in private, or said it in front of Sister Xi. ”

called Mother Sun in, "...... I packed up Wang's mother's things and sent them to Baoding tomorrow. Wang's mother is old, and she can't do anything in the kitchen, so let's go home to care for the elderly. ”

Mother Wang suddenly panicked and hurriedly kowtowed: "Madam, the slave is wrong!" The slave and maid will serve you wholeheartedly in the future...... The slave and maid must also take care of this kitchen matter! Be gracious, ma'am! ”

Before she reached the age of sixty, she was kicked out of the Chen family, how will she be in the future?

Gu Jinchao continued: "Mrs. Tai also said it, and I will explain it myself tomorrow." When others ask, they say that Wang's mother is gossiping about her master in private, and she treats people harshly, which is really not suitable for doing things in the Chen family. ”

Mother Wang hurriedly said, "Madam, you ...... Why do you have to give some face to the slaves! ”

Gu Jinchao looked at her with a smile: "If it weren't for giving you face, you wouldn't be so polite." If you gossip about your master in private, at least you will be driven out with your palm, or beaten to death with a cane, where can you be like Mother Wang, there is a pretext to return to your hometown! If you say a few more words, you see if I can give you face. I also want to tell you that face is not given by others, you earn it yourself. Do you have one? ”

Mother Wang was speechless for a moment.

She...... She did all that, but it was all for Chen Xi!

She burst into tears: "Madame! You have no conscience, mother-in-law, I am all for the fourth miss......"

The two mothers-in-law walked in and half-helped and half-dragged her out.

Gu Jinchao called Wanshi's daughter-in-law who was in charge of the stove with Wang's mother to come in and asked her, "What does Wang's mother do on weekdays, and you don't look at it?" Why don't you come to me? ”

Wanshi's daughter-in-law is the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper, she is loyal and honest, wearing a little oil hairpin and a flower jacket.

She squeaked, "...... Mother Wang was in charge of us, but she was sent to the kitchen, and everyone didn't dare to say anything. The slave thought it was a trivial matter, so she didn't say much......"

These people were all allocated to her by Old Madam Chen, or left by the Jiang family. Gu Jinchao didn't use it easily.

Although there is no big problem, there are too many thoughts.

Gu Jinchao brought a few mothers-in-law and big girls who were in charge of chores over and spoke: "No matter who it is...... It doesn't matter if you come from the outer courtyard, or if you were waiting in the third room. In the future, if anyone dares to rely on their qualifications to do things randomly, you can all come to me. Everyone has their own duties, and they can't do things for me with other thoughts, they are all in charge of things in the third room, and their eyes are bright...... What to do and what not to do, you all know! ”

A few mothers-in-law and girls were busy agreeing.

Mother Wang is a lesson from the past, if this new lady is stern, 1152
