329 maids
Steward Gu knocked his subordinates and left, he still had to be busy.
The jewelry in the warehouse was not counted so quickly, so Steward Gu went over to take a look, and left a sentence to remember to prepare an extra copy of the booklet and leave.
This is the habit of the Gu steward, whether it is the book of the treasury or the account book of the Gu family, the Gu steward will make a backup and place it in the secret compartment of the study.
After explaining the people on the other side of the warehouse, he went out of the house again, personally went to buy good incense candles and paper money, and also went to the famous Yunhu Ju in Beijing to order a few signature dishes, and the time to pick up the dishes was tomorrow.
Yunhuju is a time-honored restaurant, which existed in the previous dynasty, but was originally only opened in Huzhou Mansion.
The Dayong Dynasty was established, after the king of Zhennan was rewarded for his merits, he settled in Yanjing, because of the nostalgia for the taste of his hometown, he threw money and let the shopkeeper of Yunhuju come to the capital to open a branch.
Time has passed, the Zhennan Wangfu is no longer there, but Yunhuju has become a standing existence in Beijing.
And the old owner of Yunhuju passed away more than ten years ago, and it was the old son of the owner who took over, who was less than forty this year, and when he was young, the king of Zhennan still hugged him.
As soon as Steward Gu came over this time, he came down to greet him in person as usual, and when he heard the dishes that Steward Gu wanted, he was still a little puzzled.
These days have not been a festival, and it is not the sacrifice day of the king of Zhennan, why do they suddenly have to go to worship?
Steward Gu smiled, and only said that there was a happy event in the Gu Mansion, and he went to tell the prince about them, so that they would be happy under the Nine Springs.
Then he said that when Gu Fu organized the banquet, he would definitely send him an invitation in advance.
When the owner heard this, he stopped inquiring, happily responded, and then personally sent the housekeeper out.
When Steward Gu returned home, the sky was already slightly dark, and the people in the market led a group of maids and wives to enter through the back door of Gu's mansion and were taken to the front yard by the little maid.
Steward Gu drank a cup of tea, rested for a while, got up again, and carefully selected twelve maids and four mothers-in-law.
The mother-in-law of the human market handed over the maid's deed of sale to the Gu steward, and then took the purse, first weighed it, and then opened it to take a look.
There are both silver tickets and broken silver, and you don't need to point them to know that there are many of them.
Po Zile's eyes narrowed, bowed his waist and thanked him, and then led the maid who was not selected and left.
Steward Gu had a straight face, and his sharp gaze swept over the twelve maids and four mothers-in-law who were left behind.
The maids and ladies lowered their heads one after another, and the steward Gu had a cold face, beat them, and then led them to Duofuxuan.
The grandmother invited by Steward Gu was coming out of Duofuxuan, and when she saw Steward Gu, she stopped.
"Take care of things."
Steward Gu raised his hand and asked the maid behind him to stop, and he gave his grandmother a look, and the two walked aside.
Steward Gu whispered: "Mama Xu, is the eldest lady a good learner?" β
There was a look of appreciation in Mama's eyes, and her words were very concise.
"Mrs. Gu is talented."
Mama was originally from the palace, and she was famous for her strict teaching, so it was naturally impossible for her to lie about this kind of thing.
Steward Gu was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he took out the purse he had prepared from his sleeve and handed it over.
He had a smile on his face, "It's hard work, mama." β
Mama Xu calmly took the purse and put it into her sleeve, and the two exchanged a few simple words, and then the housekeeper gave Mama Xu a look to the subordinates who followed Mama Xu, and asked her to send Mama Xu back.
Waiting for Mama Xu's figure to disappear from the corner of the verandah, Steward Gu also led the maids into Duofuxuan.
Steward Gu didn't ask Su Mo how he had learned, but directly handed over the deed of sale of the maids and sons.
"Big lady, this is their deed of sale, you have taken it, if there is anything unsatisfactory, just tell the old slave and sell it."
Su Mo raised his eyes, his eyes swept over the maids and women standing in two rows, and then reached out and took the stack of deed of sale.
Steward Gu didn't care how Su Mo arranged these maids, gave him a deed of sale, and said to Su Mo that he should go to the front yard for dinner later, and then turned around and left.
Su Mo knew that Steward Gu had the intention to let her make her own decisions, so after Steward Gu left, she didn't squeak.
There was silence in Duofuxuan, Su Mo picked up the teacup with one hand and gently sipped it, and the fingers of the other hand touched the table for a while.
The regular clasping sound made the maids nervous, and they stared at the ground, not daring to breathe.
There are those who are less timid, their faces are pale, and a little bead of sweat oozes from their foreheads.
Su Mo finally opened her mouth, her voice was cold, and her eyes were indifferent: "Raise your head." β
The maids and ladies raised their heads one after another, accepting the scrutiny of their masters.
Su Mo took their looks into his eyes at the moment, and then asked a few simple questions, and finally finalized the candidates for the first-class maid and the second-class maid.
This new maid is inevitably given the fate of being named by the master, and Su Mo naturally did not act alone.
But she really couldn't do the name of a test of her own cultural heritage, so she directly appropriated the names of the maids around the original owner when he was in the Su family.
Su Mo only left two maids, and they were given the names of gold beads, silver beads, and first-class maids.
And the rest is a maid, who is given the name jade, amber is Gu Xingnian's first-class maid, white jade, green jade, jasper, and black jade are Gu Xingnian's second-class maids, and Nanhong, Jingbai, Guicui, and Liuli are third-class maids.
As soon as I heard this name, it was very much in line with the Su family's wealthy family business.
gave the name, Su Mo also beat them, and then led people to Gu Xingnian's room, so that Jade and them could recognize their master.
Gu Xingnian, who had just woken up, looked at the two rows of people in front of him, a little confused, "Mother, who are they?" β
Su Mo walked over, took her hand and sat aside, and rubbed her soft hair with the other.
"This is the maid who has come to serve you."
Gu Xingnian was puzzled, "What is a maid?" β
Su Mo didn't know how to explain it to her, so after thinking about it, he dropped a sentence and you will know later.
Gu Xingnian was even more puzzled.
But at this time, Su Mo said that it was time to go to the front yard for dinner.
Gu Xingnian's attention was immediately diverted, not caring about what the maid was.
It's just that she wants to put on shoes when she gets out of bed, and Jade and the others come over quickly, one puts shoes on her left foot, and the other puts shoes on her right foot, and then gently hugs her off the bed.
Su Mo watched from the sidelines, looking at Gu Xingnian, who didn't react, and was dressed by Jade and them.
By the time Gu Xingnian reacted, she was already dressed neatly, her hair was tied into two small buds, and the buds were pinned with two pink tassel beads.
The bead flower was prepared in advance by Steward Gu in the jewelry box in the dresser.
Pink is already delicate, especially at Gu Xingnian's age, the tassels of the beaded flowers sway lightly with her movements, which makes her soft and cute.
If it is ordinary, the little girl must be holding her face to the bronze mirror to have a good stinky beauty.
But at this moment, Gu Xingnian ran to Su Mo's side, and the little man hid behind Su Mo.
There's no way, the little girl hasn't lived a life of fine clothes and food, and it's really uncomfortable to be served like this.
Alas, I don't know how to describe what is happening these days.
It can only be said that it is too dramatic.
The uncle's "fiancΓ©e" blocked the contact information of everyone on our side, and also blocked the contact information of her relatives, and then walked away without a trace.
After calling the police that morning, my mother-in-law went to the police station every day and kept busy.
In the third trimester, I can't help it, I'm home alone with my daughter, and the house is due, and we just have to move...
Fortunately, on the third day after his disappearance, he was found in the county hotel.
The woman's parents sent the person to the police station to pick him up, and the back foot sent the person back to the house they had rented before.
Because according to local customs, the man opens his mouth to withdraw from the marriage, and the bride price is basically not returned, and the woman's family knows that we will not accept it, so they send people over directly...
Fortunately, because I couldn't hold it that day, my stomach was uncomfortable, I went to the hospital, and the newly rented house was close to the hospital, so my mother-in-law simply packed up her things, and the whole family moved over first, so there was no one in the house over there...
Now it's just about consumption.
I've also stabilized here, and I've basically slept in bed for two days after I went home, and I've slept in the dark, and I'm finally in a good state today.
I will resume the update tomorrow, thank you to the readers who have always supported me~
