CHAPTER XXIII

Mama Qian stood aside and looked at Gu Ning, the more she looked at her, the more she felt that she couldn't see through her, a girl who had died of her own mother, and then wanted to harm her stepmother from time to time, and her father didn't help, I heard that even the Chen family had not come to see her before.

Looking at Gu Ning, who is reading a book now, the whole person seems to be very quiet and peaceful.

This book is also entrusted to auspiciousness from the Chen family, after all, there is the Chen family, and they can also save a sum of money, I heard that the books of this era are only sold to those men, test Xiucai, lift people or something, only the women of the scholarly family can read a few books at home, and if possible, the master will be invited to teach.

In fact, looking at the books here, Gu Ning is still a little struggling, the original owner doesn't like to read and learn characters, and he is only familiar with simplified characters, which is really hard for her, but fortunately, Ji Xiang and Ru have some words, help yourself a little, and you can read it slowly.

"Who else is in Mama Qian's family?" Although I have already asked, I will ask again now in case the conversation just now is memorized, after all, the order in which a person speaks always changes.

"The slave maid has two children at home, and the child's father is also working in someone else's house, this time I heard that the Gu family is recruiting, so I came to try it, but I didn't expect to be left by the mother. ”

"Then why didn't you look for it before?"

"In the past, the two children were small, and the elderly in the family couldn't leave, but now the children are older, and when they go to school, the burden on the family is too great, so they want to come out to work to make the family better. ”

"Don't worry, I don't have anything to do here, I usually take care of my daily life, and I help Ruyi cook and clean up together. Gu Ning paused for a moment and said, "There are only two girls I have here, one you have seen, it is auspicious, and the other is Ruyi, I went to the front today to help me get firewood, I am here to cook by myself, if you know how to do it, it would be the best." ”

"This is simple, at home, the slave maid does it herself, but I don't know whether the lady eats or not. ”

Gu Ning knew that this Mama Qian was not lying, just look at her hands.

"I'm responsible for my food now, and you'll be able to eat it in two days. And when you come to me, you don't need to be slaves and slaves, I listened to it awkwardly, and you can be as auspicious as Ruyi.

Speaking of this, he glanced at Mama Qian, "Just one, if I know that you eat inside and out, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it, you should also know the rules of big families, you have to hit fifty boards and throw them back!"

Ugly words have to be said in front, and a Mama Li can't stand it for a while, who knows what other means Mrs. Gu has to buy people's hearts.

"Lady rest assured, slave ...... I saved it. “

"Jixiang, you take Mama Qian to the small kitchen to have a look, by the way, Ruyi is back? Why have you been gone for so long. ”

After the order, Gu Ning looked down at the book in his hand again, he had to hurry up and familiarize himself with the things here, otherwise when the day of returning home came, he might not have so much time.

"Ruyi, why have you been there for so long, the lady has been waiting. ”

"Oh, there are a lot of people in front of me today, it seems that it is the birthday of the Bodhisattva, there are many people praying for blessings, and the little master will wait for a longer time, the lady is hungry, I will go and prepare. ”

"Wait, this is the grandmother sent by the Gu Mansion, and the lady said to let her follow you first and help you share the burden. “

Ruyi looked at the person in front of her with some hostility, there had already been a matter of Mama Li, and the only person she believed in her heart was Jixiang, and other people, especially the people sent by Gu Fu, were definitely not good people.

"This grandmother was just found from outside, and the lady personally picked it. Jixiang looked at Ruyi and knew the pimple in her heart.

"I know, okay, then this grandmother will come with me, and help me move the firewood in first. ”

Even if Jixiang has explained, but Ruyi still has to look at two days, in case it is not good for the lady, you can know at any time.

"You go and accompany the lady, here is me and this grandmother. ”

Mama Qian knew that Ruyi didn't trust herself, so she didn't open her mouth to defend herself, but just picked up the firewood on the ground neatly and sent it to the kitchen.

Ruyi saw it and followed, what if it was poisoned......

"Lady, are you so relieved that Mama Qian will go to the kitchen? After all, the kitchen is a heavy place!"

Gu Ning glanced at Ji Xiang, "Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, understand? She was personally chosen by me, I still have this bit of confidence, as for whether this person will change after going to Gu Mansion, that is unknown." “

Ji Xiang looked at Gu Ning with some admiration, "Lady, how did you see which ones were sent by Mrs. Gu at that time?"

"Silly girl, the few people who just entered the door, their eyes are dripping, two of them are dressed plainly, but don't you see their faces? The powder is very fine, not for ordinary people, and the other is even more obvious, with the Gu family's jewelry on her hand, she thought I couldn't see it, as for the one who entered the door with Mama Qian in the back...... When I asked her a question, she answered without thinking about it, it felt like she had memorized a book, someone must have instructed her, as for whom, what do you think?"

Gu Ning was furious by the auspicious eyes, so he rolled his eyes.

"What kind of eyes are you?"

"Worship the lady's eyes!" Ji Xiang said proudly, "The lady didn't observe so carefully before!"

"People all have to grow, eat a trench and grow wise? Jixiang, how do you pronounce this passage?"

Jixiang looked over and explained to Gu Ning, Gu Ning listened carefully, and asked Jixiang if he didn't understand something, but after all, Jixiang learned a limited amount of things, and many places were not smooth.

"Jixiang, if we have time, let's go and consult Master Suxin, you yourself are a half-ass. ”

Jixiang was said with a big red face, "This...... I don't know if Mrs. Shi has time. “

"Hehe, we can tell her that we listened to her lecture on the Dharma. ”

"Lady ......"

"In two days, you go to the Yanniang of Huancai Pavilion again, we have also made a lot of things, tell her how to use them, and then you are buying some things, we have to try to do something else, it can't be set in stone, these things will be used by others sooner or later." ”

"Lady, what should we do then?"

Gu Ning looked at Ji Xiang, in fact, she was also at a loss in her heart, and she didn't know where the road ahead was.

But seeing her looking at herself, she smiled at her, "It's okay, you lady I will find a way, don't worry, I'm afraid that I won't have anything to eat?"
