327 The kindness of the steward
Steward Gu was not idle for a moment, first went to the kitchen, let the kitchen staff be more nimble, and make the lunch more hearty.
Then he sent the little maid to Huashang Pavilion and asked the embroidery girl over there to come and measure the size of Su Mo and them.
The people in the city also sent someone to go, and thought about buying the maid and the woman earlier.
There is also a storeroom, where all the jewelry is counted, and each count is crossed out in the original booklet and registered in a new book.
After the inventory is completed, you can send it directly to Duofuxuan with the box and book.
After arranging everything himself, Gu Steward was already sweating, he went back to the house to freshen up and go to the backyard again.
Gu Shi told Su Mo that there was a yard in the front yard, and men and women were seven years old, so Gu Ping'an and they should naturally live in the front yard.
Su Mo naturally agreed.
It's just that their luggage is all placed in one place, and if the two Gu Ping'an brothers move to the front yard, then they will have to be packed.
Gu Shi thought that it would be good for them to do this kind of thing, but Su Mo didn't agree, she wasn't used to others touching her own things.
Gu Shi was a little hesitant at first, afraid that if he really went out, the second master suddenly visited, and thought that they were disrespectful to the eldest lady who suddenly appeared.
But when Su Mo lowered his face, the momentum was as terrifying as the second master.
Gu Shi was a little stunned in his heart, hung his head and responded, and led the people to retreat.
So, when the steward Gu arrived, he saw people looking at each other, standing in a row in the courtyard of Duofuxuan.
He frowned, "What are you doing here?" ”
Gu Shi stood up from inside and bowed with a sad face.
It's hard to talk about this matter in detail, he thought about it for a while, and reduced the matter to one sentence, "Back to the manager, the eldest lady won't let us serve inside..."
Gu was slightly stunned, only thinking that Su Mo came from the countryside and was used to doing everything himself, so he was afraid that he was not suitable for being served.
He frowned and waved his hand, "Then don't pestle in the courtyard, leave two smart points to guard the gate of the courtyard, and the rest, what should you do." ”
"Yes."
Seeing this, Gu Shi breathed a sigh of relief and arranged according to Steward Gu's words.
Soon the steward and the little servant who had been following him were left in the courtyard.
Steward Gu didn't rush to knock on the door, pulled his clothes, and brushed his hair with his hands, he turned his head sideways and asked the little guy, "My clothes are still neat?" ”
The little guy didn't dare to be perfunctory, so he looked at it carefully and then nodded.
Steward Gu stepped forward and knocked on the door.
It was Gu Xingnian who came to open the door.
Steward Gu looked at the soft and glutinous little girl, and the whole person was instantly immersed in her little face, and her heart was soft.
This eldest lady gave birth to three children, breaking the practice of the Gu family's single lineage, and there is such a rare little lady among them.
If the prince is still alive...
Steward Gu's eyes suddenly moistened.
Gu Xingnian tilted his head slightly, "This grandfather, is there anything wrong with you?" ”
The crisp voice made Steward Gu come back to his senses, he bent down and said in a soft tone: "I can't help it, little miss, you just call the old slave Gu Steward." ”
What a strange old man.
Gu Xingnian blinked, looked back at Su Mo, his eyes were full of doubts.
It's like asking: how should she answer?
Su Mo put down the clothes in his hand and picked up the cloth on the side to cover one or two.
She thought about what Gu Qinhan had said today, and put her care in the position of an elder in her heart.
"Uncle Gu, is there something wrong with you?"
When Steward Gu heard Su Mo call him, he was stunned for a moment, and his hands subconsciously waved.
When he realized what he had done, Steward Gu was a little embarrassed for a while, but after a while, he sorted out his emotions and said with a smile:
"That's right, the old slave has already told the kitchen, count the hours, and this lunch will be ready soon.
The second son is on official business, and if you don't come back for dinner, you have just returned home, and you are tired of traveling.
The old slave thought about it and asked you, why don't you send today's lunch to the front yard and send it directly to Duofuxuan? ”
Su Mo thought for a moment and nodded, after all, it was quite difficult to go to the front yard.
Steward Gu smiled unabated, and said: "The second prince told the old slave that tomorrow the eldest lady will take the little prince and the little ladies into the palace for a banquet.
There are many nobles in the palace and many rules, so the old slave makes his own decisions and invites a grandmother to roughly talk to the eldest lady about the places that need to be paid attention to after entering the palace.
In addition, the old slave sent someone to the Huashang Pavilion according to the instructions of the second son, and after estimating an hour, the people of the Huashang Pavilion would come to the house, measure the size of the lady and the little son, and the little lady, and buy new clothes to wear in the palace tomorrow.
Also, in the evening, the city will bring a group of maids and women to come, the eldest lady, do you see that the old slave is the master of the election, or let them come to Duofuxuan, you personally palm the eyes? ”
Come to a grandmother to teach the rules of the palace and buy new clothes, this matter is obviously Gu Guan only informed Su Mo.
Su Mo listened and didn't reply.
As for the selection of a maid......
When he was in the Su family, it can be said that he was surrounded by maids and sisters-in-law, Su Mo thought about it carefully and shook his head in his heart.
"Uncle Gu, the matter of choosing a maid and a wife, you can do it if you look at it, I just have one request, you don't need to arrange any personal maids for me."
Steward Gu didn't seem surprised by Su Mo's answer, he nodded and said, "Hey, the old slave will retreat first." ”
Su Mo stopped him, "Uncle Gu, I have something I want to ask you for." ”
Steward Gu paused, "Big lady, please speak." ”
"This is Jinnian's junior brother, and he is also a child from the same village, surnamed Chen Mingqingzhou.
Before entering Beijing, their husband took the two of them to the capital of Yaozhou and searched for ......"
Su Mo raised his hand and quietly pointed at Chen Qingzhou beside Gu Ping'an and them, lowered his voice, and explained in detail that Gu Jinnian and Chen Qingzhou were going to Minglu Academy.
"Now that I have arrived in the capital, this enrollment should naturally be put on the agenda, but I, who have just arrived, are really not familiar with the capital.
Uncle Gu, can you arrange one or two to send me, Jinnian, and Qingzhou to Minglu Academy in two days? ”
"Big lady, you're a tormented old slave."
Seeing that Su Mo was so polite to him, Steward Gu felt a pang in his heart.
This eldest lady looks at her demeanor and is generous, but she speaks softly, which makes people feel soft and easy to get along with.
If the Gu family is just an ordinary family, the wife of the family is okay with such a temperament, but the Gu family is not an ordinary family, and the wife of the family is soft and easy to get along with, so it is naturally not good.
This master is weak, and it is easy to make the minions around him ambitious, so as to bully and betray the master.
So, he straightened up, earnest, serious.
"The old slave knows that the eldest lady is kind-hearted, and seeing that the old slave is old, she respectfully calls the old slave Uncle Gu.
But that doesn't erase the fact that you are the master and the old slave is the servant.
A slave is always a slave, and you are the master, whether it is to the old slave or other subordinates in the house, if you have an errand, although you are told, you don't have to be so gentle. ”
Steward Gu said, feeling that it was not enough, so he slowed down, and said: "The Gu family now only has two rooms, you and the second son.
You are the eldest sister-in-law of the second son, as the saying goes, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, not to mention the slave in the house, even if it is to the second son, you just have to talk to him if you have something. ”
