Chapter 175: Too embarrassing

Two stable women were invited out of the house.
Aunt Bai stood by the window, expressionless, watching the two steady women leave.
She looked back at Green Bamboo, "Everyone is gone, what are you still doing here?"
Qing Zhu secretly rolled her eyes and said, "My girl is not worried about her aunt, she ordered me to look at her aunt."
Aunt Bai smiled, "If there is anything you can't worry about, the second girl just thinks too much. I just saw the two steady women and sent you over to guard. If I don't agree, will Li Chuan take it with me? Someone rushed in and cleaned me up?"
"Don't dare!"
Aunt Bai sneered, "It's all here, is it interesting to say this? I've already met the two steady women, so please come back.
I met your girl and thanked her for me, and thanked her for inviting me. I am so grateful.
After the child is born, the same second girl must be very close. In the future, this child will have to look after the second girl. "
Qing Zhu said, "Auntie's child, auntie takes care of her. My girl can't take care of it."
Aunt Bai smiled, "Okay, okay. I won't dare to bother the second girl in the future, please go back quickly."
Green Bamboo withdrew silently.
As soon as they left, Aunt Bai closed the window heavily, which was really maddening.
Maid Cui Liu came to Aunt Bai.
"Auntie, take care of your body."
Aunt Bai said, let Cui Liu sit down on the chair with her support.
She said: "I don't know when the wife and they will return home."
"It shouldn't be so fast. The palace is busy holding funerals for the empress."
Aunt Bai stroked her abdomen, "This child, in any case, must be born safely."
Cui Liu gave her an idea, "Auntie might as well look for the master. The master has a grudge against the wife in her heart, and the aunt only needs to challenge her a little, maybe she can get unexpected results."
Aunt Bai nodded, "This is one way. It would be fine if the wife can afford to be seriously ill."
Heavenly Lord obviously didn't hear Aunt Bai's wish.
Xie cried in the palace, but looked a little haggard, but his body was fine.
But the old lady Wei's situation is not so good.
After all, I am getting old, how can I toss and toss like this.
There are many people who are as old as the old lady Wei.
When someone was crying, he fainted.
After a rush, the imperial doctor checked it and said it was because of tiredness.
So someone went to the emperor to make a petition, and asked the imperial wife to go back to the palace to rest every evening, and then rush to the palace to cry in the morning.
Although it has been a little harder, many things have been saved.
After all, staying in the palace, not eating well, sleeping well, and kneeling in the mourning hall and crying for a long time every day.
Even if the body is physically strong, it will not last a few days for a long time.
Not to mention those who are inherently weak, afraid that they will have to confess their lives in the palace.
After consideration, the emperor approved this petition.
Ever since, on the third day after the envoys entered the palace, they were finally able to leave the palace and return to the palace.
Although I had to rush to the palace early the next morning, tossing back and forth, but as the saying goes, the golden and silver kennels are not as good as their own dog kennels.
When I returned home, I would never feel the energy of relaxing my whole body in the palace.
This relaxation alone can make people worry-free and happy. On the next day, he could return to the palace vigorously and continue to cry.
The old lady Wei and the others returned to the Hou Mansion smoothly. Gu Mei cried with joy.
The eldest wife Xiao Wei asked: "How about the mansion these days when we are away?"
"It's all very good. Sister Xiao Jiu and the others came to help and share a lot for her daughter."
Mrs. Wei nodded, and everyone went to Songhetang to speak.
The old lady Wei was sitting on a familiar chair, her bones aching.
The maid beat her back and legs, and massaged her to relax.
The old lady Wei said with emotion: "I am old, and my body is not as good as a year. I think that when the Concubine Hui passed away, the old body stayed in the palace for seven or eight days, and returned to the house to eat two bowls of rice. "
"The old lady has a strong body, and the daughter-in-law's body is not as good as the old lady."
The second wife Wang's flattery said.
The old lady Wei waved her hand, "It's no good. My body knows it by myself. If your majesty doesn't let us go out of the palace, the old man's life is probably going to be explained in the palace."
"Old lady, don't scare your daughter-in-law."
Everyone looked at her worriedly.
The old lady Wei reluctantly smiled, "The old man just talked casually, looking at you scared. Mei girl came over and talked to the old man, how do you deal with the internal affairs when we are not these days. How is your sister-in-law's funeral going?"
Gu Mei stepped forward and talked about the affairs of these days.
Gu Jiu drove away all the people in the kitchen, and also talked about bringing in cooks and helpers from outside.
She had to act first, lest the cook ladies sue in the back and reverse the right and wrong.
After Gu Mei finished speaking, she continued: "Old lady, granddaughter thinks sister Xiao Jiu's method is excellent.
The old man in the mansion, relying on the decent respect given by the masters, put all his eyes on the top of his head, and did not put his granddaughter and others in his eyes at all.
Not only that, they also ridiculed their granddaughter and others. They opened their mouths and talked about how decent it was to serve the old man and the old lady, and how their granddaughter and others should respect them and honor them. They are really angry.
This time, if it wasn't for Xiao Jiu's wit, she invited cooks and helpers from outside, and I was afraid that she could only drink tea and eat snacks on the running water table, and could not eat hot dishes and rice. By then, the face of the Hou Mansion would be shameless by them. "
The eldest wife Xiao Wei's face was stern, "It's simply presumptuous. We are not here, and the subordinates in Manchuria treat errands like this. He sees whether there is a mansion or a master. The old lady and the daughter-in-law think that the old man in the mansion is really Owing to beat."
Gu Mei nodded secretly. It was more than just a beating, she should all be driven out of the house, and another suitable person should be selected and cultivated carefully. He can also be a errand, and more worry-free than those old people.
The old lady Wei squinted her eyes slightly, "You know what you said, the old man. They are all people who have served the old man and the old man. They originally gave them a bit of dignity, hoping that they would be more dedicated.
But I didn't expect them to stick to this decent, even when we were away, they actually played the master's score. It is ridiculous.
This matter, the old man will be handed over to the eldest wife to deal with it, regardless of the face of the old man and the old man.
But now that the Fuzhong is doing funerals and encountering national funerals, it will not be too late to deal with them after the busy schedule. "
The eldest wife Xiao Wei nodded, "My daughter-in-law listens to the old lady."
She knew that the old lady wanted to procrastinate for a while, first beat and beat the old people to save them.
But she is not afraid.
This time, she had a rare opportunity to clean out all the old people who had nothing to do with food.
Don't worry about who the old lady wants to protect, as long as the handle is in her hands, don't even want to escape.
These old people, relying on decency, repeatedly stumbled upon her. She wanted to clean up a long time ago, but she never found a reason.
Unexpectedly, this time into the palace, but got a chance.
The kid Xiao Jiu was so clever that he thought of asking for cooks and helpers from outside.
As a result, dozens of people from the upper and lower kitchens wanted to claim credit, but they couldn’t.
The eldest wife, Xiao Wei, thought of the happy place, and couldn't help lowering her head and smiled secretly. Jiaminger, she sent someone to give Xiao Jiu a gift, and thanked her for helping her this time.
The old lady Wei also said: "Xiao Jiu is a clever child. She is a boudoir girl and no one taught her. She actually thought of asking for cooks and helpers from outside."
The eldest wife Xiaowei said: "Maybe Xiao Jiu had seen it before, so I remembered it in my heart. The people in the kitchen were so outrageous that Xiao Jiu had to make a move.
Although it's not pretty on the face of spreading it out, it's better than just tea and snacks on the running water table.
When the daughter-in-law thought, there was no hot dish on the running water table, but tea and snacks. At that scene, the daughter-in-law could not wait to find a place to get in. It was too shameful. "
The second wife Wang and the third wife Duan echoed in unison.
The two of them did not suffer from the idleness of the elderly in the mansion in the past.
It is a rare opportunity to clean up this group of people, so it is natural to hurry up and down and count the crimes of those people.
Listening to the accusations of several daughter-in-laws, the old lady Wei's expression gradually became solemn.
She said that she was tired and wanted to rest earlier, so she sent everyone out.
Even the maids around him all sent out. Only Mother Yu was waiting by her side.
Mother Yu took over the work of the maids and gave the old lady Wei a massage to relax.
The old lady Wei frowned, "Those who served the old man and the old man, count as their age. The younger ones are all in their forties, and the older ones are in their 50s or 60s. Back then, they all knew the rules very well. , A reassuring person. Now, are they really that unbearable?"
Mother Yu is in her forties, and she is also a decent old man in the house.
The juniors in the house, like Gu Mei and the others, have to be polite when they meet with Mother Yu.
If there is something, it is natural to ask the little maids to do it, and never dare to ask them such as Yu.
Mother Yu deliberatedly said: "There are so few absurdities, but most people still abide by the rules and do things honestly. The three ladies, it is estimated that they have been idle in the past, and this is how they shouted and beat them."
"Ok!"
The old lady Wei made a voice from her nasal cavity, "However, it is time for the old man in the mansion to clean it up again, lest the tail is too big and become a constraint for the children.
The future of the Hou Mansion still has to count on the children, and the children do not need to be immobilized.
Many big players, why they fell, most of them started from the inside. In this, I am afraid that there are also reasons for the constraints of the subordinates, so that the young masters in the mansion can't use their hands and feet. "
Mother Yu opened her mouth and said cautiously: "The old lady is justified. It's just that everyone has worked so hard all their lives, expecting to live by the Hou Mansion. At this time, clear them out, I am afraid it will chill many people's hearts. "
The old lady Wei said, "Actually, you don’t need to worry too much. The elderly should have left the Hou Mansion if they can’t do any work. But their children and grandchildren can still work in the Hou Mansion. When they have errands, they have income. So there is no need to worry about old-age care."
"The old lady is still thoughtful."
Mother Yu was a little sad and her voice became low.
The old lady Wei suddenly patted the back of her hand, "Don't worry. You can't do without you, you have to wait for decades by your side."
Maternal Yu smiled joyfully, "The slave and maid are willing to stay with the old lady forever."
...
In Gu Mansion, the eldest wife, Zhang, is very satisfied with the effect of Gu Jiu as a housekeeper.
In the past few days when she was absent, the whole mansion was well organized.
The eldest wife Zhang, in front of Xie, praised Gu Jiu.
"Xiao Jiu is capable, and I am extremely relieved to leave the internal affairs to you. Tomorrow tomorrow is not dawn, we will enter the palace again. The house affairs in the house, Xiao Jiu will continue to take care of it."
Gu Jiu said hurriedly: "These are not my personal contributions. Big sister, third sister, fourth sister, fifth sister and sixth sister have also contributed a lot. Only by working together can we take care of the mansion."
The eldest wife Zhang said: "Everyone has the credit, but thanks to your presiding over the feedback, things went so smoothly. I heard someone say that in these two days, you will not only be busy with the affairs of the mansion, but also go there. Hou Mansion next door helps. Thank you very much."
"The niece can share the worries for the eldest mother, without hard work." Gu Jiu smiled sweetly.
The eldest wife Zhang looked at Gu Jiu, the more she looked, the more she liked it. How smart and capable this girl is. Looks beautiful.
If this were her own girl, she would wake up from a dream.
Zhang's praise, Xie's naturally can't praise, but must scold.
"Second girl, I heard people say that you throw out all the dozens of people in the Houfu kitchen, and you also spent money to hire cooks and helpers from outside. Is this true?"
Gu Jiu nodded slightly, "Except for throwing it out a little exaggerated, things are basically what the wife said."
"It's ridiculous." Xie's patted the table, full of anger.
"That's the Hou Mansion, not your own home. You go to the Hou Mansion to help, who gives you the right to let you throw people out? And who gives you the right to go to the counter to spend money and hire cooks and helpers from outside? You are in a mess. Not only do you lose the face of the Hou Mansion, you also lose all our faces."
Xie's words were anxious and yelled at Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows, "I don't know where the wife is embarrassed, but where do I start?"
"You dare to quibble. Dignified Hou Mansion, to run a water table, you need to invite cooks and helpers from outside. If this matter is rumored, how will the people outside talk about it? Hou Mansion can't even support a few chefs, and you have to go from outside. Please, what is this shame?"
Xie slapped the table angrily, pointing to Gu Jiu's nose and cursing.
Gu Jiu smiled, "It turns out that this is the so-called embarrassment. Even if you are embarrassed, you will lose the face of the Hou Mansion. The Hou Mansion is not in a hurry, your wife is too anxious. It is better to wait and see if the Hou Mansion will send someone over. Scold me, and it won’t be too late for my wife to teach me again."
"You, you are simply presumptuous."
Xie was furious.
Gu Jiu didn't want to talk nonsense with Xie, it was better to be silent.
The eldest wife Zhang frowned, "Brother sister, I also heard about what Xiao Jiu did in the Hou Mansion. I didn't feel ashamed, but thought Xiao Jiu handled it well.
In that case, the first thing to ensure is that the running seats are opened on time.
With the chef of the Hou Mansion, I don't think I can afford a table of running water banquets in one day. Without the running water seats, the Hou Mansion really lost its face.
Regarding the seriousness of the matter, I thought the Hou Mansion should thank Xiao Jiu. "
Gu Jiu was grateful to her aunt Zhang to speak for her.
Although she believes that what she has done is right, not everyone can accept her way of doing things.
Gu Jiu was very touched by the aunt's understanding of her difficulties.
Xie was extremely dissatisfied, staring at his wife Zhang with fierce eyes.
"Sister-in-law, I am disciplining my child, can you not interfere?"
Zhang smiled, "I looked at my younger siblings not as if they were disciplining children, but as if they were taking the opportunity to beat people."
Xie snorted, "Nonsense. Even if I beat Gu Jiu, so what? In name, she is my daughter, shouldn't I beat it?"
Zhang frowned, "Xiao Jiu didn't do anything wrong, why did the younger siblings beat her? She took care of the kitchen errands. In such a situation, is it necessary to watch the kitchen ladies passively sabotage their work and be indifferent, making the Hou Mansion lose in front of all the guests? Is it right to show your face?"
Xie said angrily: "It's nonsense. There is not only one way to solve the problem, why have to invite a cook from outside."
"Because of a hurry." Gu Jiu answered Xie's question concisely.
Xie stared at Gu Jiu, "For so much time, I just have to work with foreigners. I don't believe that the chef of the Hou Mansion can't make a running water table."
Gu Jiu sneered, "My wife looks like she can't wait to swallow me alive. People who don't know, think that the wife is the wife of the Hou Mansion, not the wife of the Gu Mansion."
"presumptuous!"
Xie pointed to Gu Jiu, "You are too presumptuous. Is this your attitude towards elders? You, you..."
"Enjoy the eldest wife, the second wife, the Houfu Madam sent someone over to thank the second girl."
As soon as the maid's voice fell, the air suddenly became quiet.
Xie's mouth gaped, his face flushed with embarrassment.
The others are holding back a smile, this is a real face slap.
