Guo Niangzi made a mistake and asked Yuan Xinqiao to get out and not listen in the inner house. This move is really a slap in the face, after all, the Guo family is also a good servant in the foreign mansion.

Guo Niangzi went home but was not worried, "I think my wife is ready to attack the big housekeeper." ”

"The day before yesterday, Yan Song went back home, did you say that it would be the little grandson of the Gan family, what did he say in front of the eldest young master, and the eldest young master sent Yan Song back to ask." Guo Niangzi asked.

"It's possible, the things sent to the White Crane Academy are all in duplicate, and the eldest young master is good to the kid of the Gan family." Guo Er said. "That kid Zhou Qu is really greedy, guess how much money I wrote down to the deer in the account book? After remembering four hundred taels, he has one hundred and fifty taels here, which is still known to us, and there are still those who don't know, he has been a housekeeper for so many years, and he has long since saved up a lot of property. ”

"If he wasn't so greedy, you thought there would still be a chance for you." Guo Niangzi said, "The master has no brothers, so he is treated as a brother." ”

"You've made a mistake, and I'll have to go in and talk to your wife anyway." Guo Er said that he handed the message in, and waited until Yuan Xinqiao passed him on before he went in to reply.

When he arrived in front of Yuan Xinqiao, he first said a few good words for his daughter-in-law, Yuan Xinqiao listened to him and didn't speak, Chunfang asked with a smile on the side, "How many years has Guo Er's housekeeper been a housekeeper?" If you don't get this name well, take a second word, and you can only be a second housekeeper. ”

Guo Er smiled, "What my aunt said is that my father didn't think about it so much at the beginning, and recently he has been thinking about whether to change my name, so as not to ruin his reputation." ”

"But I don't know if it's useful to change the name, who called your mother didn't milk the master at the beginning, and it was a big difference in the master's heart." Chunfang said with a smile.

"Whether it's the chief housekeeper or the second housekeeper, they all do things for the master, I just do my best, I think the master and the wife will definitely see it." Guo Er said.

"I have one thing to ask you right now." Yuan Xinqiao said, "On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, you also went to Maple Village, how much did Steward Zhou buy the deer in the Gan family?" ”

Guo Erzhi said, "When I went, the chief housekeeper had already negotiated the price, I don't know how much, everything has been booked." ”

"A good ledger prevails." Yuan Xinqiao smiled and said, "It's not as much as you say in the account book, you say that you are loyal, and I don't know if you are loyal to the Zhou family or the account book." ”

Guo Ertong knelt down, "Don't embarrass me, Mrs., Zhou Qu and I are both servants of the Zhou family, if I say Zhou Qu in front of my wife today, I will not be a good person in the Zhou family in the future." ”

"I didn't let you say that he wasn't, so I asked you, how much did you buy that deer in the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Yuan Xinqiao asked. "Zhou Qu said in front of me, you are helping the Gan family to ask for a price."

"Mrs. Mingjian, I didn't do this kind of thing, when I went, I didn't know how Zhou Qu told people, the family insisted on two hundred and fifty taels, and Zhou Qu had to coerce, but I was afraid that I would miss the master's business, so I said a sentence, just like that, I really didn't ask for the price for the Gan family." Guo Er said.

"It's really two hundred and fifty taels." Yuan Xinqiao nodded, "It's written in the account book that it's four hundred taels, I know that there is oil and water on the purchase, but I don't know that the oil and water are so abundant, so it won't take long for Zhou Qu to save a family foundation similar to the Zhou family, so what kind of housekeeper is it, isn't it better to set up your own door to be a foreigner." ”

Guo Er knew that he was speechless and didn't dare to talk.

"I know it's hard for you to identify Zhou Qu, anyway, everyone knows that Cai Yin is my person, you tell Cai Yin what you know, and finally he will come forward to sue Zhou Qu, and after that, you don't have to change your name to get what you want." Yuan Xinqiao said, "But there is one thing I said first, why did Zhou Qu fall, you had better keep it in mind and don't make the same mistakes, otherwise it will be difficult to die well." ”

"The little ones don't dare." Guo Er said.

In Maple Village, because Liu Sanniang accepted the women of the Yan family as apprentices, the tense atmosphere eased a little, but Li Zheng was still pressing step by step, just when the county government recruited hard labor to dig ditches, according to the rule, the Gan family only had three strong laborers, as long as one of them served, but Li Zheng counted the eleven grandsons of the Gan family who had not yet grown up as men, so the Gan family would have to send six people to serve, if not, they would have to pay for the first money to be exempted.

Although Gambori can barely be an adult, how can Gan butcher be willing to let him do the hard work of digging ditches, besides, even counting him is not enough. Gan Butcher didn't want to pay this head money for Li Zheng to earn, so he paid someone to do hard labor for him.

He didn't bother to fight with Li Zheng, and it was in vain to talk about it, Li Zheng just wanted him to be unable to live in Maple Village, so it would be consumed, to see if he couldn't bear to leave Maple Village first, or Li Zheng couldn't be his Li Zheng first.

Gan Xiaotang has been very happy recently, in the past, her playmates were only twelve people, and the rest of her brothers said that they were playing with her, in fact, she was the object of being played, and recently there were two more sisters, Sister Xiaowen was cheerful and generous, Sister Yanwan was soft and rigid, and she was full of witty words, they learned from Liu Sanniang for an hour in the morning, and practiced knife work and stir-fry by themselves in the afternoon, at this time Gan Xiaotang moved a bench to sit next to them. It's a lot of fun to listen to them.

When they are busy with business, they will accompany Gan Xiaotang to play the wine, Yan Wan is very popular, and she made the same clothes as her for Tang Xiaowen's grinding and drinking, Gan Xiaotang smiled and said that this is a parent-child outfit, Tang Xiaowen called it her daughter, and named her Yunle.

She has always thought that her name is too simple, not as good as the names of others, such as Yan Wan, it is very good, but the satisfaction of this thing is comparative, she recently learned that her new sister's name is Xiaocui, and the dissatisfaction with her name immediately dissipated a lot, Xiaowen is still good.

"You don't go home, don't you worry that your mother likes her sister more than you?" Yan Wan asked.

"It's not my mother's own, how can my mother like her more than me? It's impossible. Tang Xiaowen said. Besides, my father invited another nurse to take care of her, and he didn't let my mother take it personally, at most it was a little bit of face. ”

"Your parents have a good relationship, even if you are the only daughter, they will plan for you." Yan Wan said that she does have brothers, but her father and stepmother and her brother are a family, and she is just a superfluous person.

"Your father threw you home, it can't be said that he doesn't think about you at all, and it's not easy to live in front of your stepmother, it's better to be at home." Tang Xiaowen said, "You just have to ask your father for money, after saving it, you will have confidence, and your stepmother will definitely not prepare a dowry for you." ”

"How much money can my dad have? His money is not enough to support his pomp, and his stepmother's family has money to take care of him. Yan Wan said, "I don't expect him anymore, the nurse has good embroidery skills, I also learned some, made some sachets and sold them to save money, and then learned cooking skills from the master, and I will not starve to death in the future." ”
