This mistake is very small, Qian Wenjin will hit her a few times at most, or fine her for a month, what else can she do?

"Mother Su, the third lady was raised by you? She said such rebellious words, and you didn't even say a word of persuasion, this is a dereliction of duty! What's more, you didn't even find this mistake, which shows that you are unclear, black and white, and you are not qualified to be a nurturing nurse. ”

Mother Su was stunned, she just went out to talk a few nonsense according to the master's intentions, now, is the eldest lady going to target her? Thinking of what a few young ladies promised, if the eldest lady dared to attack herself, they would definitely not stand idly by, so she plucked up her courage and said: "Miss Chunming, the old body is just a thing that has not been done well, the third lady occasionally says the wrong thing, you dare to buckle your hat like this, is it your specialty to slander?" ”

"Mother Su, don't quibble, I'll go back to my master!"

Before Chunming could take a step, Xiao Qiyun laughed coldly: "In this courtyard, who heard the third lady say the wrong thing?" I don't believe you can cover the sky with one hand, and whatever you say is what you say! ”

As soon as her words fell, outside the courtyard gate behind Chunming, there was a cough, it was Wen Jin's voice, Chunming hurriedly let go of them, bowed his head and waited for the arrival of his master.

Wen Jin slowly walked into the courtyard, and behind her was Ah Lai.

"Mother Su, it turns out that you educated the third lady like this, no wonder she dared to say such rebellious and unruly remarks." Ah Lai's tone was cold, "Someone reported you for deliberately uncovering the quilt of the third miss in the middle of the night, letting her catch a cold, delaying the miss to learn the rules, I still don't believe it, it seems that it must be true, only by taking the third miss and making her unreasonable, you can act arbitrarily and use the master's power to achieve your ulterior purpose." ”

Su's mother couldn't say a word, she didn't expect that this was a trap today, Chunming came over alone, just to cause her to be mad and say something she shouldn't say.

"You're not qualified to be an adoptive mother at all!" Ah Lai turned his head and instructed the old mother who followed him: "Let the steward of the outer courtyard find someone to come over."

"Nope! Don't drive away my nurse! Xiao Xuanyun rushed to Ah Lai, "Ah Lai, my mother is good enough to you, for more than ten years, she has been letting you take charge of the farm in Xicheng, how big the oil and water of that seat is, you know in your heart!" You can't let me lose my nurse just after she's gone—"

Ah Lai's face turned blue with anger: "Third Miss, I ask myself for more than ten years, I have been conscientious and conscientious to my master, and I have not embezzled a single cent." ”

"Third Miss-" Mother Rong saw that she was off topic, and shouted anxiously, those words were all said by her to Xiao Ayayun, in case Ah Lai traced it, it would be very unfavorable to her.

Xiao Xuanyun really turned back to the topic: "Ah Lai, you can't take my nurse, she is at fault, you can punish her, just let her change it?" ”

Ah Lai was not moved at all: "Third Miss, please calm down, Mother Su is morally corrupt, it is impossible to stay by your side again, I will not deal with it today, tomorrow, Grandpa Guo will do it himself, she will not be sold." ”

"No, you are not allowed to do this to my adoptive mother, you dare-"

Without waiting for Xiao Xuanyun to make any more fuss, Ah Lai waved his hand decisively: "Take it away!" ”

Several strong servants rushed up, picked up Mother Su and walked out.

Wen Jin coldly ordered to the maids in the courtyard: "Serve your young lady well, if they have any three strengths and two shortcomings, carefully uncover your skin!" ”

Several people who were stunned suddenly woke up, rushed up, pulled Xiao Xuanyun down from Su's mother, and persuaded and coaxed.

Xiao Xuanyun was angry and sad again, and through her tears, she watched Wen Jin and her party walk away: "Wait, I will take revenge sooner or later......" Her mouth was covered by the maids, and she couldn't speak anymore.

Wen Jin only had a few days, and found out that this Su mother actually had no brains, she didn't sell people, but asked Ah Lai to quietly send her to Zhuangzi, so that she could see what role she played over time.

The next day, Wen Jin handed Ah Lai a copy of the "Rules for Servants of the Xiao Mansion", which stipulated in detail: 1. Do your best to complete your work. Second, it is not allowed to discuss the rights and wrongs of the owner in private, let alone disseminate it. 3. If a reasonable suggestion is made on the affairs of the government, once adopted, a reward of at least 10 yuan will be awarded according to the circumstances, and there is no upper limit. …… 9. Reporting the mistakes made by others can offset the mistakes made, or receive a reward of more than 10 yuan. 10. Do not frame and slander others, and once verified, they will be expelled from the house with more than 10 rods. 11. Summarize once a month, perform well, do not make mistakes, award 100 yuan, if you violate the rules once, you will be fined ten yuan, three times, ten times in addition to the fine, more than ten times, or three consecutive months have been at fault, more than ten strokes of the cane, and be driven out of the house.

"You see if there's anything else to add or subtract first, and we'll discuss it tomorrow.

Ah Lai took it and looked at it a few times, and said with admiration: "Miss, I think it's already very good." ”

"You help me think about it again, it's better not to leave any loopholes."

"Minion, minion, think again, eldest lady, don't hope too much."

"Hehe, come to Damu, I just give a lot of hope, I expect that Xiao Mansion will become the first rigorous and warm mansion in the capital in the future."

"Then I, then I'll take a good look."

"Hmm!"

Ah Lai thought about it for a long time, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that the eldest lady's rules were good, and she saw that there was nothing to add, and the next day, she gave her opinion to Wen Jin.

"Since I think it's good to come to Damu, then let's do it."

According to Wen Jin's meaning, Ah Lai first gathered the mother in charge and explained to them one by one: "What do you think of this?" ”

are not angry, although they are good, work hard, and their income will increase, but the requirements for them are also a lot stricter, especially those who are in charge, and the people under them are linked to doing things, and they can't pass the buck to the people below when they make mistakes.

"If you think there is anything inappropriate, bring it up quickly, if not, the eldest lady will announce it."

Several people racked their brains and couldn't find a better way to get out, so they nodded helplessly.

"You don't have a bitter gourd face one by one, and when you get the money at the end of the month, you can stretch it out, don't laugh and crack your mouth." Ah Lai made a joke, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

"In fact, the rules set by the eldest lady are not so unkind, work hard, and at the end of the month, you can almost get more bonuses."

"Hmm!" Several stewards couldn't help but smile.

In the next few days, the subordinates of the Xiao family all closed their mouths all of a sudden, lest they would be reported for their small words, and at the same time, everyone pricked up their ears and reported that others would be rewarded, how easy it is to get this money.

Xiao Qiyun didn't expect that the news that was best inquired about before suddenly became difficult, what Wen Jin did every day and what she wanted to do, she couldn't ask, Xiaohong, a maid she asked around, was also reprimanded by Ah Lai, which made her annoyed and helpless. In the end, it was this Xiaohong who actually learned a news from her mother, who was a rough mother, and she rushed to offer treasure: "Second Miss, there are guests coming from the eldest lady's side, arrange the kitchen to make snacks, and prepare a table of banquets." ”

The teacup in Xiao Qiyun's hand slammed to the ground with a "bang", and even his voice raised an octave: "What? I can't do it if I want to have a treat, her guests are here, and they can let the kitchen make snacks, why, I'm still the daughter of a real father, she's just a pick-up, and somehow coaxed my father to believe it......"

Mother Rong on the side hurriedly came up, patted her back and stroked her chest to persuade: "Second Miss, Second Miss, dissipate your anger, let's discuss and discuss, what should you do if you shout like this, let the people outside listen, and run to invite merit?" ”

"She, what can she do to me?" Xiao Qiyun didn't have any confidence in saying this, but he just tried to save face, and after shouting, he wilted.

Everyone in the room knew that Wen Jin didn't have to do anything, only reminded Grandpa Guo, saying that Xiao Qiyun's illness was cured, and it was easy to send them out of the capital.

"Mother Rong, what can you do?" Xiao Ayayun looked at the nurse with hope, her mother died, and the nurse who hugged her became a snuggle in her heart.

Mother Rong blinked and looked at the little master: "Then it depends on whether you dare to come out." ”

Xiao Qiyun was the first to object: "No, my little sister is too young." ”

"Second Miss, it's because Fourth Miss is small that things are easy to do, I don't believe that Grandpa Guo dares to send the three of you to Zhuangzi, so don't be afraid of ruining his reputation as a sweetheart? ——It's only been a few days since I came back, and my three younger sisters have been driven to Zhuangzi, and this word has spread to see how she can get married? ”

"But, what if you really send me to Zhuangzi?" Xiao Ayayun said worriedly.

"It's okay, Miss Four, I still have your two sisters as companions, let's make more money, and the food and clothing will not be bad, anyway, if you stay at home, you have to swallow your anger, looking at people's faces, life is not very good."

"Oh, well. Mother Rong, you say, what should I do? ”

Mother Rong's eyes blinked as fast as a convulsion, and she quickly made arrangements, and after a while, Xiao Ayayun set off with the four maids. There is still a lot of distance from the courtyard where the kitchen is located, and the rich fragrance comes over, Xiao Ayayun loves desserts the most, and at this time she almost forgot her task, and was seduced by the gluttonous insect and drooled in her mouth, and couldn't help but speed up her pace.

Mother Gong, who was in charge of the kitchen, was asking the little maid to put snacks in the food box, and she didn't forget to pat Wen Jin's ass in her mouth, although the main owner couldn't hear it: "The eldest lady is really smart, very simple ingredients, and can come out with such fragrant pastries, ouch, this is better than the Liufu Building on Qianmen Street." ”

Xiao Ayayun just happened to hear it, she likes to eat Liufulou dim sum the most, and she used to send someone to buy it every three or five days. Liufu Building is still more than two quarters of an hour away from Xiao's Mansion, even if it is a freshly baked dim sum, it is cold when you get it back, Xiao Ayayun really has never smelled such a fragrant smell, although she is not angry with these snobbish, but she is still very greedy.

Turning the corner, it was the courtyard of the kitchen, Xiao Ayayun stopped, and the maid behind her, Ziye Zihua, rushed to the front, and just happened to face Gong's mother: "Gong's mother, be polite." ”

In the past, the maid of Zhilan Courtyard was the most powerful in this inner courtyard, no matter when this Gong's mother met, she greeted her with a smile and couldn't stammer, but this time, Ziye and Zihua also saluted first, and Gong's mother just nodded lightly: "Does the fourth lady have any instructions?" ”

Zihua couldn't help but push up angrily: "Do you still have to wait for the fourth lady's orders?" Mother Gong, that is also the old man in the house, she knows that the fourth lady likes to eat dim sum the most, and she has made so many of them, not to mention sending them over, do you still have a master in your eyes? ”

Mother Gong laughed: "Zihua's words are bad, this snack is made by the eldest lady in the kitchen out of her own pocket, if I give it away casually, then there is no master in my eyes." ”

"Fool whom? The eldest lady is in charge of the family's middle food, and she has to pay out of pocket to eat a few snacks? Who believes. Purple Leaf jumped forward and shouted.

"Believe it or not, hum, do you think that the eldest lady is like some people, and she treats her home as her own when she becomes a family? She has many rules, she can do what she wants, otherwise, what will she use to convince people? It's only been a few days since I was in charge of the house, and our Xiao family's inner house has changed its atmosphere. ”

Xiao Ayayun outside the door was so angry that she forgot Rong's mother's advice, and the two maids around her didn't hold it, so she carried her skirt and rushed in with a gust of wind, she was short, not enough to hit Gong's mother's face, so she picked up a firewood halberd and beat Gong's mother's back: "Kill you, who do you say are 'some people'?" The rule of the Xiao family is to let a slut like you talk about the master behind your back? I'll kill you, I'll kill you! ”

Gong's mother didn't expect Xiao Ayayun to hear her words, and she was a little flustered for a while, and she was in unbearable pain when the firewood was pumped from the ground, so she ran around in the courtyard of the kitchen, dodging left and right, embarrassed.

Fortunately, Xiao Ayayun loves to eat and doesn't like to move, her body is as fat as a meat ball, she got tired after a few runs, and stood at the kitchen door snorting and panting. The fragrance in the kitchen became more and more intense, Xiao Ayayun dropped the firewood and rushed into the kitchen angrily.

The busy cooks and chefs inside are not afraid to come out, although the fourth lady has lost power, but she is still the master after all, she can beat people, but the current people dare not beat her, who dares to touch the tiger's whiskers at this time, and make herself uncomfortable?

Xiao Ayayun looked around, picked up a food box, and handed it to Ziye who followed up: "It's all loaded, take it back." ”

Mother Gong heard it outside, and she didn't care about the pain in her body, so she hurriedly ran over: "Fourth Miss, this is not good, the eldest lady wants to feast guests." ”

"Get out of the way! I, Xiao Ayayun, am still not the master of this family? Or is it not Daddy's daughter? I can't even touch the snacks made in the kitchen, what do you think of me? I couldn't help but say, Xiao Ayayun picked out the beautiful snacks and took them, picked up a full food box and was still angry, and smashed the rest again, and then took people away.

Mother Gong was so anxious that she was covered in a cold sweat, seeing that the eldest lady's guests were coming, how could she drink tea without dim sum at this time? The cook looked at the remaining raw materials and made a bitter face: "How is this good?" Although you can still steam a basket, there are only five or six of each, which is not enough for plating. ”

Mother Gong looked around, her eyes were on the peaches on the plate, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration: "Mom Zhang, can you wrap diced peaches in the dough and steam them?" It should be delicious, right? ”

"Give it a try, thinking it should be good." The people in the kitchen are so busy, not only put peaches in the dim sum, but also jujube paste, lotus paste, bean paste, a pot finally came out of six kinds of dim sum, this time Gong's mother did not dare to delay, packed it in a food box, and personally brought her mother-in-law to Wutong Garden, she just asked the mother-in-law guarding the door to report at the door, and heard the voice of Xia Yang, the maid in the yard: "Miss, Mrs. Qian Shao of the Qian Mansion and the two cousin ladies are here." ”

"Please!" This is Wen Jin's voice, although it remains calm, it is full of cheerfulness, and then the footsteps are flurry, this is about to go out to welcome guests.

Gong's mother was allowed to enter, in the middle of the Sycamore Garden, there were a few thick sycamore trees, dense leaves, covering the yard very cool, walking in, the sweat on her body was gone.

Under the sycamore tree, a pale green silk awning was erected, in fact, it was afraid that there were insects on the sycamore tree, and it would fall down to respond to people, Gong's mother secretly praised the eldest lady in her heart for being really whimsical, such a hot day, it was really stuffy to entertain guests in the house, under the color shed, the faint wormwood smoke drove away the troublesome mosquitoes, it was really cool and comfortable, Chunming took the food box in Gong's mother's hand, and put out the dim sum plate inside one by one, and the small courtyard was suddenly filled with fragrance.

Mother Gong led someone to carry the food box, and as soon as she walked out of Wutong Garden, she saw the eldest lady accompanied by a young woman dressed in red silk and some roundness, and beside them, there was a bright girl dressed in light purple, a little girl wearing a pink shirt and a white skirt.

In front of the guests, Mother Gong didn't dare to sue, but secretly rejoiced, fortunately caught up with the eldest lady to use it, otherwise she would have to eat and hang up today.

"I've seen the eldest lady, I've seen the young lady, I've seen the young lady, I've seen the young lady!" can climb to the position of steward, and it is a dazzling place like the kitchen, Gong's mother is also a personal elf, and she has already found out who the guest invited by Wen Jin is, it is Li Yanran, the young lady of the Qian Mansion, and Wei Liangqing, the cousin Miss Wei Liangqing and Wei Liangxi.

"Mother Gong has worked hard!" Wen Jin politely expressed her gratitude, although she was a subordinate, she still gave the necessary respect.

Mother Gong only felt that this half day was hard, full of sadness, and the pain on her body dissipated, she was blessed again, bowed and retreated aside, and waited for the eldest lady and her party to pass, and then hurriedly went to the kitchen.

The matter of dim sum is finally over, and there is still a banquet, and Mother Gong can't guarantee that the three young ladies will not come to make trouble again.

Walking into the courtyard, the four of them sat down under the color shed, and Wen Jin couldn't help but miss it anymore: "Sister-in-law, Qing'er, Xiaoxi-"

"Sister—"

"Sister-" Liangqing could barely hold back, and Liangxi had already thrown herself into Wen Jin's arms: "Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Missed my sister?"

"Well, you can think about it." "Sister misses you too." Wen Jin said, looking at Yan Ran, "Sister-in-law, how are you at home?" ”

...
