Chapter 284: Three Fires

Liu Zhi asked Zhang's mother to take a few people to move Wicker, and the second thing was about Lu Baozhu. The courtyard where Lu Baozhu lived was smashed by Li Chun before, she has been living in Nuan Yu Courtyard with Mrs. Hou, and now the willow branches of Nuan Yu Courtyard are sealed, this move is seen in everyone's eyes and secretly in their hearts, which means that Mrs. Hou will not come back! /p

Yan Hou's home was simple before, but now after a round of cleaning and a round of leaving, it is even more empty and almost desolate, and the willow branches have sealed more than half of the yard in one go, and even the place where the two little sons live. The few stewards and mothers who were left behind were even more drummers. /p

Lu Baozhu once invited herself to leave the house, and she went to live with Lu Xiyue. Liu Zhi sneered, causing a few messes and now he wants to run away, where is it so easy. She only asked her mother-in-law to move Lu Baozhu to Baoyue Courtyard, which is closest to Youlan Courtyard, and told a few stout mothers-in-law to watch: "Mrs. Lu's happy event is approaching, and she will embroider the dowry in her yard this month, and no one can disturb her." If any of you let someone in and disturb the good things of Mrs. Lu, I will fill in yourself. ”/p

These things are not difficult, and someone will do it by yourself, and the wicker is now 100 obedient, and Ying'er is also very powerful, and she is even very happy to move to Youlan Courtyard, and there is a young grandmother who looks at it directly, so that she can save her worry. /p

What Liu Zhi lacks most now is that she doesn't have a big girl like Ying'er or Xingrui at the beginning, just one Zhang Ma to call, and she is not easy to call the people of the Hou Mansion, but she has always been single, since it is not easy to use, she simply does not use it. She used the people of Swallow Island, as well as a team of Zhou Qianhu's personal soldiers. /p

Although these are rude men, entering and exiting the backyard are a little eye-catching, but one top ten, and they don't talk back. Liu Zhi now hates people to ask her why, just like she sealed the Nuan Jade Courtyard, the housekeeper's mother was actually out of kindness, and asked "This young grandmother can be the master", Liu Zhi immediately asked these people to stop and go back to various places. Just as the housekeepers and servants who stayed behind felt that the young grandmother was not an unreasonable person, they still listened to the old man's advice, and were ready to give advice to the young grandmother. After lunch, I only heard a sound of footsteps, and the mother-in-law guarding the door screamed and shouted the ridiculous words "The official is coming to raid the house". /p

Although he was dressed in civilian clothes, the spirit of the soldiers was intimidated from afar. The rest of the slaves were dumbfounded, and the petite grandmother took the group of soldiers and began to seal the courtyard one by one. The furniture, curtains, and tents were all put into the storeroom. /p

It's like money. Liu Zhi looked at the accounts, Yan Hou didn't know if he wanted to embarrass himself, or if he didn't care about these things at all, there were more than three hundred taels left in the account book, the wages of the servants in the mansion of Nuoda, and the monthly money in each courtyard, which could not last for two months, let alone human relations. There was nothing in the warehouse, and Mrs. Hou didn't bring anything from the capital, and she took everything she could with her when she left. /p

This is also one of the reasons why she wantonly closed the yard. /p

If there is no one and no money, then use less and spend less. Liu Zhi was scribbling and writing, and the housekeeper's mother handed over the list that needed to be purchased, "When Mrs. Hou left, I had the remaining oil, rice, vegetable and meat in the kitchen, why did I need a hundred taels of silver to buy it in only five days?" There are so many fewer people eating these days, why is the expenditure still so large? Willow asked. /p

The housekeeper's mother, who had already been frightened by her simple and rough style, immediately knelt down, swore with a trembling voice and swore that she would never deceive. Because there has been no young grandmother in the house for more than 20 years, they don't know how to determine the willow branch case, and in the end, Yan Hou made the final decision: half a shoulder lower than Mrs. Hou. /p

"So the meals served to you these days are all according to the rules used by Madame, but one less meat and one vegetarian dish at a time, and one less stew." /p

"You mean I ate a lot of silver? But what fish skin chops I have eaten these days, I thought it was because Mrs. Hou was gone, and the house was saved. Willow Branch was also surprised. /p

The housekeeper's mother shouted that she was wronged and took the menu for the young grandmother to see. She glanced at her: "You read it, I don't know a word."

Know. ”/p

This, this is a happy person. Mother then read one dish after another, "Stop-" Liu Zhi shouted, "What is this Hanchun Hou Xinzhi Yuehua Rice?" And what is this starry cake? I haven't eaten it at all, what else is a 'high-end jar-like cake'? And the phoenix fetus, crystal tart, shrimp rot, what are these? ”/p

When she heard that the phoenix fetus was fish white, and when she heard clearly what fish white was, she almost didn't spit it out, why did Mrs. Hou love to eat such things?! Isn't eating fish for meat? Mom said that because the phoenix fetus is the most nourishing, Mrs. Hou has to eat it once every three days. /p

And the crystal is quite simple, it's fish scale jelly. The more Liu Zhi listened to the explanation, the more angry she became, in short, it was a dish made of fish skin, fish scales, chicken feet, duck feet, shrimp brains, and other things, and a sensational name, that is, she ate it, and it was very expensive. On the contrary, the subordinates simply ate the chicken breast, fish belly meat, etc., which the owner did not want to eat. /p

"I'll make the menu later." The willow branch is decided. /p

But a new problem has arisen, and the kitchen protests against the grandmother's "steamed eggs with minced meat", "dried bamboo shoots", "steamed square meat", "steamed fish" and "dry fried cabbage" - they won't do it. Nima: Their exquisite skills are not for the sake of making these civilian dishes! /p

Liu Zhi is a good woman who never embarrass others, she happily packed all the servants in the family who couldn't do this or did not do that, and sent them to the capital, "Tell Master Hou that you are right, I didn't drive you away, it's just that it's useless for you to keep it, I don't want to send your monthly money in vain, go to the capital to serve Mrs. well, and ask Mrs. to send you monthly money." ”/p

And then do not listen to their cries, explanations, and confessional assurances. /p

After this way, the courtyard that was already empty for most of it is now even more empty, Liu Zhi doesn't care, she lives in the Commander's Mansion, and what Xiaoxiao dares to break in. The front yard was cleaned up, and the four brothers who lived in Swallow Island, Bai Qi left her to be the nursing home in the future. In the backyard, she brought wicker and Lu Baozhu, and there were only a dozen maids. /p

She saw that the most frugal purchases in charge were the expenses of ordinary people for a year, "If you don't know where to buy things that are good and cheap, I don't mind telling you, if you still don't understand, find someone who understands to buy." "I simply handed over the purchase to the shrimp, and the shrimp always have to enter the materials to take care of the food shop, just together. /p

No matter how the steward argued, how could a person of her status eat ordinary oil and rice, Liu Zhi would not listen to it. "I don't remember the kind of eggs you said for one or two silver, so it can be seen that there is nothing special. In short, if you can't get used to my food, you can go back to the capital. ”/p

In fact, Liu Zhi had money in her hands, and Li Chun's money was in her hands, and Bai Qi also specially gave her a thousand taels of silver tickets, one hundred taels of broken silver ingots, and a total of fifty taels of copper plates for her daily use. But she doesn't want to use her own money to post the Command Mansion, she is a very cautious woman. /p

In contrast to the reduced to almost desolate household affairs, the wicker's dowry was prepared in full swing. Willow Branch took her sister to the silk shop, Duozhen Pavilion everywhere to choose her favorite objects, originally wicker looked forward to being able to embroider her own wedding dress, too late to buy ready-made. However, the wedding dress was bought by the Splendid Pavilion in Nanquan, this set was originally set by the young lady of the political envoy a year ago, but the young lady's husband sent the wedding dress, this set of wedding dresses can only be avoided, exquisite and very valuable, and has been stored in the Splendid Pavilion. /p

Willow Branch asked the wicker to give it a try, and it turned out to be about the same size, and he only needed to change the waist, so he bought it for his sister. She was so busy, as if she was sure of victory, and she didn't care about the man's attitude. /p

On this day, she steamed a basket of red date honey cakes, packed the box and asked someone to send it to Zhou Qianhu. It is said that he is also an acquaintance with Zhou Qianhu, and the small food shop he rented at the beginning was thanks to Zhou Qianhu. Zhou Qianhu still remembered this bold, lively and capable little lady, and was very surprised that she had become Yanhou's eldest daughter-in-law, and also felt that it was fate, or a good fate. /p
