Chapter 18: What a shame
After Mama Liu settled the new recruits, she went to Mama Cui's errand.
We still have to deal with what needs to be dealt with.
The two of them spoke in Chengxin Hall.
"Have you picked all the people?"
"Pick it out, the eldest lady didn't interfere in the whole process, I brought someone over to show her, she picked a maid who can make snacks to stay, and let me arrange the rest."
"These people all arrange some work that is not urgent, and they have to be their own people in the most important places."
"Yes." Mama Liu responded.
In her heart, she didn't take Mama Cui's words seriously, Mama Cui told her to listen to them casually, the orders of the eldest lady mattered, and whoever gave the money was the master.
Don't blame her for having milk and being a mother, look at the housekeeper of a family with a head and a face in Jiangcheng, but it is more moisturized than her, more beautiful than her, only the Song family, the benefits have been taken away by Mama Cui.
As he was talking, Mama Wang came.
Seeing the two muttering there, Mama Wang rolled her eyes and stepped forward with a smile: "Mama Cui, Mama Liu." ”
Mama Cui looked indifferent, Mama Wang has been running too diligently in the West Courtyard recently, and her strength in the past has been used to the head of the West Courtyard.
Mama Liu also had a cold face, after the eldest lady announced that she would be the head of the inner courtyard yesterday, Mama Wang rolled her eyes at her. It's only been a day, and several people have already told her that Mama Wang is gossiping about her behind her back.
"What's wrong with Mama Wang?" Mama Cui asked.
Mama Wang smiled and said: "A trivial matter, Cuiwei beside Aunt Wei came to me, saying that Aunt Wei was unwell and wanted to invite a doctor, no, I came to ask Mrs. to show me." ”
Mama Cui frowned: "Do you want to ask for a doctor again?" It doesn't cost a doctor to ask for a doctor? How much money does medicine spend on her in a year? She is the most expensive in the house. ”
Mama Wang felt in her heart, she was really shameless, and she would come as soon as she opened her mouth.
The last time Aunt Wei asked for a doctor was the year before last, and Aunt Wei's medicine money over the years was earned by her own needlework, so she didn't dare to ask Mrs. for it.
"I see that Cuiwei is about to cry in a hurry, Aunt Wei should be not lightly ill, you said that this lady's birthday banquet is coming, if something bad happens, wouldn't it add bad luck to Mrs.?"
These words hit the nail on the head, and Mama Cui said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask Madame." ”
Mama Liu hurriedly said, "I still have something to do, so I'll go first." ”
She didn't want to stay with Mama Wang and look at each other unpleasantly.
Mama Wang didn't think so, so she didn't send it away.
Mama Wang waited for a while, and Mama Cui turned around: "Tomorrow, Dr. Wu will come to ask for the pulse of the eldest lady, and let Dr. Wu go to Aunt Wei for treatment." ”
"Mama Cui, I'm afraid Doctor Wu is not suitable."
Mama Cui raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean?" ”
"What is Aunt Wei's pain...... It's inconvenient for men to look. ”
Mama Wang pointed to her left chest.
Mama Cui is in trouble, this ...... It really doesn't fit.
"Or, please ask the female doctor from Sanxitang?" Mama Wang suggested.
Mama Cui also knew that the female doctor had killed people and had a bad reputation, but Aunt Wei was not an important person, so it would be good to hire a doctor for her.
"Just her!"
Mama Wang smiled and stretched out her hand to Mama Cui.
Mama Cui was stunned.
"Consultation money, you can't ask me to post money!"
Cui Mama is depressed, since Mama Wang married the eldest lady, she didn't take her seriously at all, how dare Mama Wang talk to her like this before.
"Who is in charge of the house now?"
"Big lady!"
"Then ask the eldest lady to go." Mama Cui didn't have a good breath and walked away.
West Courtyard.
Jiang Wanning looked at the roster of guests on the Luohan couch.
It's funny to say, this lady may want to pay off the favor accounts she owed before, and those who don't know are invited.
She had fifty tables, not enough.
Are you planning to celebrate your last birthday?
A burst of osmanthus fragrance wafted in the wind.
Jiang Wanning raised her eyes and saw Yu Niang come in with a snack.
"Big lady, there is just sugar-stained golden cinnamon in the kitchen, and the slave maid made osmanthus cake, and the big lady tastes it."
Jiang Wanning straightened up and took a piece to taste.
Sweet but not greasy, soft and glutinous, full of fragrance......
"Yu Niang is a good craft."
Yu Niang said: "It's good if the eldest lady likes it." ”
Jiang Wanning beckoned Qing'e over: "You can taste it too." ”
Qing'e was doing embroidery work and politely refused: "Slaves don't like sweets, big lady eat!" ”
Jiang Wanning smiled, Qing'e had a temper with her! If she asked Yu Niang to stay, Qing'e was not happy.
"Yu Niang, leave me a piece, and give the rest to Xiao Tao."
"Yes." Yu Niang left a piece of osmanthus cake and brought the plate out again.
After a while, I heard the chatter of the servants outside, and it was very cheerful.
The best way to fit in with a group of girls is to share good food.
Qing'e also heard it, and her face became more and more ugly.
"Qing'e, don't be busy yet, go to the study to see if Lang Jun is back, he said that he is going back to the house today, if he comes back, you let him come over, I have something to discuss with him."
Qing'e's eyes lit up, and she said briskly: "The slave maid will go now." ”
Jiang Wanning sneered: This is Qing'e's favorite errand.
As soon as Qing'e left, Yu Niang came in.
Fu Yiyi: "Big lady, it's Mr. Wen......"
Jiang Wanning raised her hand to stop: "I know, what is your real name?" ”
"Yutan, usually everyone calls the slave maid Yuniang."
Jiang Wanning: ......
Uncle Wen really found her a jade girl.
"How many of you came in this time?"
Yu Niang's eyes were full of smiles: "All of them." ”
Jiang Wanning: ......
All right! Uncle Wen is amazing.
I found twenty helpers for her at once.
"Do you know how to make sesame cakes?"
"Yes, the slave will make a lot of snacks."
"Very good, make some sesame crisp tomorrow, pea yellow, Mrs. likes sweetness, it's three points sweeter than today, do it well."
Yu Niang nodded vigorously, very confident in her cooking skills.
was saying that Mama Wang was coming.
"Mama Wang, you came just in time, this is Yu Niang, I just entered the house today, said that I would make dim sum, I stayed, just let her make osmanthus cake, taste it, what do you think."
Jiang Wanning gave the remaining piece of osmanthus cake to Mama Wang.
Mama Wang was flattered and happily accepted.
"Hmm...... It's also so delicious, it's better than the dim sum of Jufangzhai. ”
"Big lady, you have found a treasure."
She's not flattering, she's really delicious.
Yu Niang gave Mama Wang a salute with interest: "Thank you Mama for the compliment." ”
Jiang Wanning said: "Yu Niang, Mama Wang is the manager of the needlework room, she is reliable, and she is straightforward. ”
Yu Niang saluted again: "Please also ask Mama Wang to take care of it." ”
Mama Wang said briskly: "It's easy to say, if there is anything that is not good to bother the eldest lady in the future, you can come to me." ”
"Mama Wang, are you here?"
Only then did Mama Wang remember what was going on, so she told Aunt Wei about asking for a doctor.
Jiang Wanning immediately instructed Yu Niang: "You go to my house, and take five taels of silver from the third drawer on the left side of the chest of drawers." ”
Then he said to Mama Wang, "If it's not enough, you can find me again." ”
Mama Wang took five taels of silver and sighed for a while.
Over there, a penny is going to die, and the eldest lady gave five taels without saying a word.
This is the strength of a lady in charge.
