Back in the main courtyard, Mu Wan found Steward Liu, saw the housekeeper standing in an orderly manner, and said, "I know that your housekeeper usually works hard, and some things are turned a blind eye. But I don't allow it here, you remember, money can be greedy, but there is a degree. I will definitely be rewarded for doing well, but you are not as greedy as I am. Also, the Liu family and the two young ladies are masters, and they should have food and clothing, if I hear others say that I treat concubines and concubines harshly, I will only look for you, so what to do, you can arrange it yourself. Also, I remember that Xiao Yu is almost ten years old! What about Xiao Yue? Are you looking for a nurturing grandma? ”

The housekeeper replied respectfully, "Madam, the eldest lady is nine years old, and the second lady is five years old. glanced at Mu Wan, hesitated, and continued: "Before, Mrs. Yuan always found someone to make things difficult for Aunt Liu, together with the eldest lady, but later Mrs. Yuan died, and the old lady was not in good health, and her energy was not enough, so she didn't ask someone to teach the two young ladies. ”

Mu Wan thought to herself, Steward Liu said it tactfully, obviously her mother-in-law is patriarchal. After thinking about it, he said to Steward Liu: "You first ask people to clean up the Moxiang Courtyard in the east, and I will find a master to teach them, and my daughter's family should know how to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and female red, and everything that should be learned." In addition, the two young ladies cleaned up the side room, and the nurturing grandmother who was found at that time lived there. Okay, you go and arrange it, and inform the two young ladies to get ready. Also, you remember to knock on the people around Miss, if you want to be a slave bully, don't blame me for being unkind. ”

Steward Liu glanced at Mu Wan vaguely, as if he didn't understand what she was doing. Mu Wan also stopped talking, signaled Hongluan to send people out, looking at the potted plants that had sprouted, she was secretly happy, her craftsmanship was not lost, and the flowers she planted casually could be planted, and there would be a matter of passing the time in the future, there was no mobile phone here, no TV, it was really boring.

The next day, Mu Mu sent a letter saying: Teach girls to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the most famous in Beijing is the ancient study of the master, as long as the girls he taught are dignified, talented, and well-versed in human feelings, the family is proud to be able to invite him, he can learn well, responsible for people, but the average person please not move, and never come to teach, have to go to his private school, although his private school is not a few people in total. Then there is Wang Yongfuzi, his ability is also good, only a little worse than the ancient master, and the girls he taught are also all talented, and they can come to teach, but the money is expensive, and a person costs thirty taels a month. Raising grandma generally invites an aunt from the palace, you can ask Wenyu to find it.

Seeing this, Mu Wan put down the letter, planning to wait for Xiao Wenyu to come back, it is important to eat first, recently Mu Wan asked the kitchen to cook some spicy dishes from time to time, as a foodie, I am looking forward to eating.

In the evening, Mu Wan asked about Xiao Wenyu, Xiao Wenyu looked at Mu Wan in surprise, thinking that he had indeed neglected his two daughters over the years, and seeing Mu Wan's heart, he was also a little guilty, so he said: "You arrange it, according to your meaning, I believe in you." ”

Mu Wan rolled her eyes in her heart, her daughter is called step-room manager, and she is so arrogant, it is really a common problem for men, but fortunately, she just treats him as the boss. Thinking about it, Mu Wan still said her thoughts: "Master, please invite Master Gu." Raise grandma, you go to the palace to ask, the rules don't need to be the best, but the character must be good. You're Dali Siqing, it's no problem to look at people, right? ”

Xiao Wenyu thought for a while and said, "It's no problem to raise grandma, I'll ask." Although Gu Fuzi is famous, it is very difficult to invite, he does not look at his family background and status, but only his mood. We reckon please do not move. ”

Mu Wan asked, "Does Guxue Xiufuzi have any hobbies?" ”

Xiao Wenyu recalled: "I heard that Gu Fuzi loves food and famous paintings, and in the early years, he also accepted some students because of these two hobbies, but after a long time, Gu Fuzi's vision became higher and higher, and his mouth became more and more picky, so he no longer accepted apprentices because of these two hobbies." ”

Mu Wan smiled: "I have a way, try it first!" ”

Looking at Mu Wan's dazzling eyes, Xiao Wenyu felt a little itchy in his heart, and didn't ask what to do, but he was more enthusiastic than before when he slew, which caused Mu Wan to rub his waist and scold people the next morning.

Mu Wan didn't expect that this ancient master actually liked food, this is not simple, although it is estimated that he has even eaten palace food with his ability, but as a modern foodie, are you afraid that there is no attractive food? It's just autumn now, and it's still a little hot, how easy it is to make a double skin milk and a cake! Anyway, it doesn't matter if you succeed, just do your best.

After breakfast, I took the maid to the kitchen, and when I saw the kitchen steward standing at the door waiting, I asked, "Are the ingredients ready?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, everything is ready, but it is hot and I am afraid of bad weather, so we only prepared half a bucket of milk, but we bought the cows back, and if Mrs. thinks it is not enough, you can go and squeeze it immediately." This is the first time that the newly appointed Steward Wu has received a task arranged by his wife, and he is very nervous.

Sure enough, money can make ghosts grind, Mu Wan sighed that she only notified her after she got up, and it was done in less than two hours. Let the rest of the people go out, Mu Wan took the egret and the red luan into the kitchen, leaving only a girl and a cook who burned the fire.

Mu Wan arranged for the cook to separate the ten egg yolks and egg whites first, and then beat the egg whites into white foam. I took the two maids to boil the milk first, seeing the two maids spitting out, Mu Wan knew what they were thinking, the original owner wouldn't do this, but Mu Wan didn't plan to explain: "You have to remember, what can be said and what can't be said, I hope you don't spread the word that there is something and there is not!" ”

When the two maids heard this, they glanced at each other, and immediately understood what the lady meant, and immediately said, "The slave and maid understand." "Continue to make double skin milk with my wife.

It took an hour, Mu Wan finally made the double skin milk and cake, and set aside a copy for the next person to take to the old lady, Mu Wan asked Hongluan to carry the food box back to the main courtyard to change clothes, and then took the carriage to the Gujia Girls' School.

When she arrived at the school hall and handed over the sticker, Mu Wan sat in the side hall and waited for Master Gu to get out of class. Mu Wan asked carefully, there are a total of six young ladies in the school, some of them are for sending famous paintings, Ye Chuyu, the daughter of the princess, sent nine songs and sixteen fu, this is the only picture of the famous sixteen scattered people in the previous dynasty, and Gu Xiang, the second daughter of the prime minister, sent a picture of the cat play orchid of the Qing Shui scattered people. There are also those who fit the eye, Wu Jiaojiao, the youngest daughter of the general of Zhenguo, Yiliu, the queen of Hubu Shangshushu and so on. The oldest is 12 years old, and the youngest is only four years old. There is no time limit, and you can learn as long as you want.

After waiting for a cup of tea, Gu Fuzi came over from class, not the white-bearded old man he imagined, probably less than forty years old. At first glance, he was not a person who liked to procrastinate, so Mu Wan didn't say much, motioned to the maid to hand over the food box, and said in short: "Gu Fuzi, excuse me, these are the two foods I prepared, I hope the master will accept the two girls in my family." ”

Gu Fuzi raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect this Mrs. Xiao to be so straightforward, and he was surprised by her self-confidence, and he wrote on the sticker that it was a delicacy that he had never eaten, and opened it curiously, only to see that the first layer was a pale yellow bowl-shaped pastry that looked fluffy, sprinkled with raisins, and the second layer was a milky white pastry sprinkled with red bean paste, which he had never seen.

Mu Wan saw Gu Fuzi looking at her curiously, so she took the initiative to speak: "This is a cake, I make it with eggs, this is double skin milk, I make it with milk." ”

Gu Fuzi nodded, picked up the spoon and tasted the double skin milk, "Well, it's really good," Gu Fuzi showed an expression of enjoyment: "I heard that those two girls are concubines, and you are still a stepmother?" Don't you want to leave this opportunity to your daughter? I can wait for your daughter to be four years old when I go to school. ”

Mu Wan smiled indifferently: "Gu Fuzi is worried, I don't know if I have a daughter in my life, even if I have a daughter, I will use other methods to impress you." ”

Gu Fuzi nodded, and didn't bother to say, "Okay, bring those two girls tomorrow!" ”

The matter was decided, and Mu Wan took her leave.
