Chapter 168: If It's Bright or Dark (Part II)

Since that day, Mo Ju was a little stunned when she saw the red jade plan.

Gu Xiyan saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

Speaking of which, when Gu Xiyan first went to work, the supervisor was an old businessman who was about to retire, and he liked to nag in her ear every day "I want to think about the past", at that time, everyone used computers, only she used an abacus, and insisted on telling Gu Xiyan and teaching her too. In order to please his boss, Gu Xiyan really studied hard for a while. Because she hasn't used it for a long time, she will naturally be rusty, but she still remembers the "six hundred and sixty-six" style of play, and there is no problem in teaching Mo Ju.

After some adjustments, the daily affairs of the small courtyard have become more organized, and everyone's free time seems to have increased.

Gu Xiyan's mood also became leisurely, and she began to teach Mo Ju to plan the plate.

Mo Ju was personally selected by Duan Niang to marry her, whether it is appearance or cleverness, it is not worse than these girls of the Wei family, but the requirements of the two families for girls are different, Duan Niang wants to be low, but the Wei family wants to be outstanding, so at first glance, Mo Ju is much worse than those girls. Gu Xiyan knew in her heart that Mo Ju had come out of the Gu family with her, and if she wanted to be loyal, no one could compare to her, and in this regard, she was better than anything else.

I can lift her up for a while, but I can't lift her up for a lifetime.

Gu Xiyan also hoped that she could be more outstanding than others, so she helped her desert a little from time to time, pointing and pointing at her.

Since following Gu Xiyan, Mo Ju has experienced a lot of things, she is much more mature and stable than before, and most importantly, she found that if a person does not have a score in his heart, it is impossible to live with his head held high in this world. So, she also began to think.

In her opinion, the girl is not married to an ordinary family, with big rules and many personnel. Take advantage of this opportunity to let her manage the money flow in the house. First, it is to trust and affirm yourself. Second, it is also for the future to be available to those who are capable in the house. If you can't make your accounts clear internally and be exquisite externally in a short period of time, once you return to Qi Mansion, you won't even be able to speak in front of those grandmothers who are already old oilers. At that time, not only will I lose my face, but I am also a girl, and I am afraid that she will also be struggling in the treasury and the account.

Therefore, Mo Ju earnestly studied with Gu Xiyan with a twelve-point heart, and learned to make a balance sheet. Listen to her tell a lot of weird stories.

In fact, these so-called strange stories are Gu Xiyan's modern vocational training for her.

Despite liking Mo Ju and helping Mo Ju so much, Gu Xiyan still has to admit that among this group of girls, the most talented is Hongyu.

On the day of the division of labor, Gu Xiyan only mentioned it slightly, and Hongyu was able to draw up a set of kitchen management processes based on her words. The division of labor is detailed and clear, not to mention, and even the standards that need to be met for each transaction are clearly written. For example, the person who cleans up the kitchen, how clean the stove is. There are all rules on how everything is placed, which can be called the industry standard for kitchen management. So when Hongyu excitedly took what she had written to Gu Xiyan to show the ground, Gu Xiyan was completely dumbfounded. She was tempted to ask, "Are you here too, have you worked in a hotel before?" ”

Hongyu looked at Gu Xiyan's somewhat dull gaze, and became a little uneasy: "Madam, is my request too high?" ”

"Nope. No, no. Gu Xiyan hurriedly said: "Well written, so well written, I didn't expect it..."

Hongyu maintained her downfall, and when she was praised, she just smiled indifferently on her face: "Madam, you are exalting me too much..."

Gu Xiyan felt that such a talent was really rare. If you don't hold it in your hands. What a waste!

Hongyu is seventeen years old this year, in the Xia Kingdom. Once she is over 20 years old, she is an old girl, and the government can force her to marry.

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but say, "Hongyu, what are your plans in the future?" ”

Ruby was stunned.

Gu Xiyan smiled: "You are not young, and you have such a splendid chest in your chest, naturally you are not a foolish person, what do you have to say, tell me directly, I know it in my heart, and it is easy to arrange..."

Ruby understood.

Because Gu Xiyan's promise was really too important to her, and it could even be said that it was a moment that changed her life, so Hongyu knelt down in front of Gu Xiyan without any hesitation this time: "Mrs., I don't want to get married, you just leave me in charge of things in the house!" ”

Although it was a little unexpected, Gu Xiyan also faintly felt in his heart that such a plan was in line with Hongyu's character. She couldn't help but groan: "You are still young now, and you will have opportunities in the future, so don't talk about things all at once..."

Seeing that Gu Xiyan's tone was very kind, Hongyu also became bolder, and said, "Madam, I have already thought it through. When I get married, I am also serving others, and I am willing to serve in front of my wife. ”

Gu Xiyan was stunned again.

I didn't expect such an avant-garde answer. Serving others the same, following her husband, having children, doing death and living, maybe there is no good sentence. can follow yourself, although it is the same thing, but you have money to take, one person is full, and the whole family is not worried!

Looking at Hongyu's sassy temperament, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but touch his forehead.

Anyway, there are still three years to go, and who knows what will happen in those three years!

She motioned for Mo Ju to pull her up, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, you can teach Mo Ju well." When Mo Ju is resting, you take care of the accounts for her. ”

Hongyu's face was full of shock, and then she quickly realized.

She has already gained Gu Xiyan's trust!

Hongyu was busy kneeling and kowtowing to Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan saw her straightforwardness in agreeing, and quipped: "You are not afraid that if you teach the apprentice, the master will have nothing to eat." ”

can feel Gu Xiyan's liking for her, Hongyu didn't have the trembling heart just now, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, my matter is the most nothing." As long as you are willing to endure hardships, you can do it! ”

This is also a true saying.

The person who manages the kitchen is to be diligent, not afraid of hardship, cold in winter and cool in summer, and be able to stay in the kitchen.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Hongyu's hand.

Sure enough, there are cracks.

Gu Xiyan smiled: "Among you girls, who has the best female celebrity?" ”

"Yunshang's best." Hongyu smiled: "It turns out that Mrs. Xu is on her sixtieth birthday. The peony blossom sent by the Wei family was embroidered by her. ”

She hadn't heard of this before.

Gu Xiyan asked Mo Ju to call Yunsheng over, and then asked her to make a few pairs of gloves for Hongyu.

Hearing that Yunshang was asked to make gloves for her, Hongyu hurriedly excused herself.

Gu Xiyan said: "You are in charge of the kitchen, no better than others, you have to get up every morning to check the dishes, the weather is cold, turning over, it is easy to freeze your hands, you don't have to shirk anymore." ”

Hongyu saw that Gu Xiyan was sincere, so she knelt down to thank her.

Gu Xiyan smiled and said to Mo Ju and Yun Sheng beside him: "If you change this habit of kowtowing at every turn." It's even more in line with my heart. ”

Everyone laughed.

Since then, Hongyu has really returned to her usual free and easy, to the point that she looks at Gu Xiyan in amazement.

In the evening, Gu Xiyan discussed Qi Maosheng: "Are there any people of the right age around you, I want to help Hongyu find a good family!" ”

She has an idea to train those who are willing to stay as stewards to become working women, so that she can engage in hierarchical management in the future, and she doesn't have to be like in Gufu, and the first thing she does when she gets up every morning is to decide what to eat that day!

Qi Maosheng blew out the lamp and hugged Gu Xiyan: "What do you care about her, take care of me first!" "Between words. I can't wait to untie her clothes...

Really, this only lasted a few days, just... Gu Xiyan couldn't help but laugh lowly!

From that day on, Gu Xiyan naturally lived the days when she slept until three pennies in the morning before getting up.

The people in the courtyard are used to it. Only Duan Niang is very worried.

One night, I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so I pulled Mama Zhao and said, "Do you have raccoons at home?" ”

Huanhua grass is a kind of soup used for contraception.

Mama Zhao shouted in panic, "Aunt Duan, this can't be helped..."

The room is full of girls, and there is only one woman, Mama Zhao.

Although the Gu family doesn't like to take concubines, Duanniang came out of a big family after all. More or less guessed her identity. In the past, those princes and nobles of the Xia Kingdom, especially those with titles in the family, would raise Yanxi Mama at home for the sake of the peace of the house, and they would be responsible for domestic affairs such as fertility and contraception.

Duan Niang did not hide her opinion and sighed. "The girl is too young. I'm afraid she won't be able to survive the birth of children..."

Mama Zhao laughed: "Don't worry about it, Mrs. is the person on the tip of my heart." Otherwise. Why did you let me serve in this courtyard. ”

Duan Niang said: "In that case, why don't you cook some soup for her to drink?" It's a good place to be able to put it off until next year! ”

Mama Zhao smiled: "I still have you to say this." I tried a little bit for my wife before, but she was uncomfortable drinking, and my lord didn't let her drink it anymore... Just endure it yourself! I'm afraid it just fits your mind, and there won't be any movement this year! ”

In the dark, Duan Niang was silent for a long time.

The next day, she took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and Mo Ju sighed: "... What a difference! The big girl has been smart since she was a child, and no matter what she does, she is the first... As for the second girl, she has not been good since she was a child, she is not good at being a female red woman, and her personality is not docile... At that time, she told me that the Jiang family has in-laws and uncles and nephews, and Jiang Gongzi lives on the rest of the family. General Zuo has married a lot of wives and concubines, so he has no patience for women, I am afraid that I have you in my heart, and my body is not up to me, and it is not a good marriage... I'm a nurse, so I can't do it anymore because I don't want a girl, but I've seen too much. The two wives in front of Master Gu, I have served, and when I died, I helped dress up the funeral... It's all top-notch people, you see, what happened to them. So I thought at the time, the second girl's words are also reasonable, this woman, what is she trying to do, doesn't she just want to marry a good person, and then give birth to a few smart and clever children... At that time, the eldest girl was also in a hurry, so I supported her to go. Who knew that there was such a change, and he married a teenager who was older than himself to do the sequel. When I knew it, my heart was cold... So sometimes, you can't disobey! Look at her now, Grandpa Guo is a big man, she pours water when she asks for it... Lying down and drinking and sleeping and eating all day long, Grandpa Guo is like he didn't see it, you think about the day when the big girl was born, hey..."

Mo Ju smiled: "You treat the second girl as if you are your daughter, now that she is like this, you should rest assured!" ”

Duanniang sighed: "Both of them are like my daughters... If the eldest girl is not so good and strong, she will marry into the Mi family after listening to me, although she is poor, I am afraid that she is also a husband and wife, and she is kind and loving, and she is no worse than the second girl's life..."
