Chapter 212: Sister-in-law

Gu Lin got up from the ground and ran to the outer courtyard to see Master Gu.
Master Gu did not see Gu Lin after learning the whole story.
He said: "The matters in the inner courtyard are handled by my wife. Ask Wu Yatou to go back to the room and rest, and you are not allowed to mix these things. In addition, someone is sent to warn Aunt Bai that if you dare to use Wu Yato to come out and make trouble, you will be taken by the officer. The temple reflects."
The butler Gu Quan was stunned. He never expected Master Gu to be so unrelenting to the woman he once loved.
"What are you still trying to do? Go quickly."
Master Gu stared at Gu Quan dissatisfiedly.
Gu Quan hurriedly bowed back and went to persuade Gu Lin.
When Gu Lin learned that Master Gu would not see her, she also warned her not to mix up these things, and she was frightened.
"No, how could my father be so unfeeling? It must be fake. Father, father, I am Lin'er..."
"The fifth girl doesn't want to involve Aunt Bai's suffering, so she should shut up. The master has said that the affairs of the inner courtyard are entirely up to the wife."
Gu Lin was beaten to perfection, and she cried out, covering her mouth, "How could this be so. How could my father be so unfeeling? Butler, have you made a mistake? My father used to favor my aunt the most. Why did my brother just leave and my father became So unrelenting? I don't believe it, I don't believe it."
The steward Gu Quan sighed, "Master has always been like this, and the fifth girl will get used to it in the future."
Is it always so unfeeling?
Gu Lin was stunned.
In her mind, the wonderful father was so cold and unfeeling.
It turns out that she has been deceived for more than ten years.
Gu Lin cried and left.
With a pale face, Cui Liu asked Gu Quan cautiously, "Butler, what should I do with my aunt?"
Gu Quan said, "Just bear it."
When will I have to endure?
Cui Liu was desperate.
When the news reached Furongyuan, Xie's laughed with a triumphant expression.
"Auntie Bai fights with me and is looking for death. Chunhe, you did a good job this time. You should give Xie a little bit of color to see. So that she knows that the backyard is still in charge."
Chunhe hid his selfishness and said, "The slave and maid didn't irritate Aunt Bai to go over and gave his wife so much anger. Taking advantage of her illness and killing her, you can't easily let her go."
Xie nodded repeatedly, "You are right. Bai's just owes a lesson."
Chunhe went out to the pantry.
Aunt Bai used to be favored and dared to slander her in front of her master. She made Aunt Bai live worse than a servant.
It was revenge from Chunhe.
Aunt Bai was eating a meal that even her servants would not like to eat. The meal was either salty, or not half-baked, or had bugs, or bite it down, it was just a stone.
Fortunately, she has good teeth, otherwise she has become a woman with missing teeth.
Not only that, the needlework room also arranged a lot of needlework for her, from morning to night, and staying up late with an oil lamp.
Soon Aunt Bai's eyes couldn't bear it, and she kept tearing.
The concierge did not allow their masters and servants to go out. Forced to go out, the concierge hit directly with a stick.
After suffering several times, Aunt Bai's master and servant never dared to rush into the concierge again.
I can only hope that Gu Lin will come soon.
Gu Lin was hit by Master Gu, and was languishing for several days.
During this period, Gu Ban got married and married Xiao Zhang as his wife.
Xiao Zhang is a round-faced girl with a hearty personality and loves to laugh very much.
The day after she walked in, she gave everyone a hand-made needlework.
Gu Jiu said, "Sister-in-law's needlework is really good, I'm far from as good."
"Second sister is too humble. With your ingenuity, take a moment to make needlework better than me."
"Sister-in-law, don't praise me, I'm really not good at needlework. But if the sister-in-law needs a new flower look, I can help."
Xiao Zhang smiled and said: "That's a deal. I'll come to my sister to ask for some tricks another day."
Little Zhang entered the door, and his eldest wife Zhang took her butler and director.
While in the Chamber, the eldest wife Zhang was very patient to introduce to Xiao Zhang the situation in the mansion, the temperament of each woman in charge. Also moved out the past accounts, let Xiao Zhang first learn to settle accounts.
Xiao Zhang picked up the abacus and settled the accounts himself.
Sure enough, it was practiced, and the abacus was very slippery.
The eldest wife Zhang met and nodded secretly.
Xie looked at this scene, sour. Just want to satirize Zhang's.
Xie said: "My sister-in-law is too anxious. The new wife has just entered the door, and she has not even passed the one-month wedding period, so she started to let the new daughter-in-law housekeeper. This is not suitable."
Xiao Zhang stopped his calculations and said with a smile: "Second aunt is not clear about the situation, no wonder there is a misunderstanding. It is the nephew and daughter-in-law who begs the mother-in-law to take my housekeeper to share the worries for the elders."
The eldest wife Zhang was cheerful, "Weiwei, the child, has been busy since she was a child. She wants to share our worries and is also a filial piety. As a mother-in-law, how can I discourage the child's enthusiasm. Mother, I must have the same idea as me."
Xie's: Ha ha...
When she becomes a mother-in-law, she has to set rules for her daughter-in-law. Want a butler? There are no doors.
Xie was dreaming about how to make rules for his daughter-in-law, so Zhang came to slap her face.
"Second aunt, the kitchen accounts are not right."
Xie snorted, sternly, and asked angrily: "What's wrong? Da Lang's wife, keep your focus on your words and do things, you only have a few days, so dare you pick my fault?"
Xiao Zhang first lowered his head and smiled, and then said without humility: "According to my nephew and daughter-in-law, the food in the Acacia Yard has been reduced by 80%. Why does the Acacia Yard supply food and tea in accordance with the past standards for the kitchen ledger?
Is this 80% reduced, or is it not? If it is reduced, where did the 80% reduction in food expenses go? Please also teach me the second aunt. "
Xie's face was pale, "Presumptuous!"
Xiao Zhang smiled, "The accounts are not clear, you can't be vague."
Xie gritted his teeth and said, "The housework of the second room, what qualifications do you have as a junior?"
Xiao Zhang bowed his head slightly, "Niece-in-law and daughter-in-law are naturally not qualified to ask about Erfang's housework. It's just that the accounts are not clear, so they have to ask."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows, Xiao Zhang really had the courage, and after a few days of entering the door, he dared to slap Xie directly in the face.
Is she trying to provoke a fight between Dafang and Erfang?
Gu Jiu looked at his wife Zhang.
The eldest wife Zhang was expressionless, just drinking tea.
It seems that Xiao Zhang's incident today is a tacit understanding between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Gu Jiu said aloud, "Sister-in-law, can you show me the ledger?"
Xiao Zhang readily agreed, "I have long heard that the second sister settles accounts quickly and well, and I can finally see it today."
Gu Jiu took the account book, picked up the abacus and prepared to settle the accounts.
Gu Yue said tentatively: "Second sister, you have to think clearly, which room are you from?"
Gu Jiu laughed, "Don't worry about the third sister, I know better than you which room I am from."
Snapped!
Xie slapped on the table, "Sister-in-law, is this how you teach your daughter-in-law? She is a junior who dares to question her elders. Is there any rules?"
The eldest wife Zhang said, "Weiwei’s rules are very good. And she is not questioning her younger siblings, she is just questioning the books. When people do the books, it is inevitable that there will be omissions, so we have to check the accounts. And this kitchen, it is inevitable. It should be cleaned up after a while."
While the two men were talking, Gu Jiu had already picked up the abacus and started to settle accounts.
Crackling!
The clear voice of the abacus sounded in the chamber.
Xiao Zhang secretly exclaimed.
She prides herself on being quick and good at settling her accounts, and no one in her natal family can match her. Unexpectedly, there are strong middle players in the strong.
Gu Jiu settled accounts, faster and better than her, and graceful, pleasing to the eye.
Xiao Zhang thought, no wonder Gu Ban always said how good Gu Jiu is. There is indeed a reason.
Soon, Gu Jiu finished the accounts.
The abacus stopped.
The eldest wife Zhang asked: "Xiao Jiu, are the accounts clear?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "It's clear. The food cost of the Xiangsiyuan does not match the actual situation. For example, the old hen soup above may have entered the belly of a certain kitchen woman, but it is counted as Aunt Bai. on."
Xie's eyes stared at Gu Jiu fiercely.
Gu Jiu’s face was calm, and he calmly faced Xie’s,
My wife has been busy preparing for the third sister’s dowry recently, and she has neglected to manage the kitchen. It is inevitable that the kitchen woman took advantage of it. However, the sisters around the wife also It’s time to remind the wife that she can’t watch her being blinded by the kitchen lady."
Chunhe received the signal from Gu Jiu and hurriedly stood up and said, "It's all slaves and maids. When the slaves got busy, they forgot to send someone to stare at the kitchen and let the kitchen lady take advantage of it. Please Mrs. , Madam, grandma punishes me."
The eldest wife Zhang smiled and said, "I won't punish you, let your wife punish you too much. Brothers and sisters, if the problem is found, you have to rectify it. The master and servant of the Acacia Institute can no longer take the past standards. Come to fool people. In this comparison, the silver is a lot worse, and they all go into the pocket of the thief-hearted person."
Xie's laughed, "Sister-in-law is right to remind. Da Lang's wife is really capable, she found out the accounting problems as soon as she walked in. The second girl is so capable on weekdays, why didn't she see the kitchen accounting problems?"
Gu Jiu: Blame me.
Gu Jiu said: "I was negligent. I thought of the kitchen lady too well. I didn't expect that they were a group of people with no lower limit. If you catch the opportunity, you will be greedy for ink. I suggest that the kitchen lady be ruined. ."
Xie's glanced at Gu Jiu, "I have renovated the kitchen woman, who cooks for everyone? Er girl, think everything is thorough."
Gu Jiu laughed, "My wife is right, the kitchen lady can't rectify everything. Just catch the people who are greedy for money and money, and drive them out."
"It should be so." Mrs. Zhang nodded in agreement.
Xie's face changed slightly.
Who doesn't know, now Xie's confidant is her confidant in the kitchen. Grasping greedy ink is equivalent to arresting her.
Gu Jiu, this dead girl, really is in the same group with Dafang, and they all come to add to her.
Xie said with a straight face: "The kitchen woman must be punished, but we must also consider that they have no credit and hard work. Please don't bother with this matter, I will deal with it."
The eldest wife Zhang looked at Xie with a faint smile, "I believe that my younger siblings will take care of the kitchen. Will my younger siblings not let me down?"
Xie's skin smiled but didn't smile, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, dare not let you down."
"That's good."
After Xiao Zhang got into the limelight, he calmed down and didn't find Xie's fault.
After finishing his work, Xie shook his sleeve and left. Obviously, there is still a anger in his stomach.
Mrs. Zhang then left.
Gu Yue packed up the four treasures of the study, and stopped Xiao Zhang who was about to leave.
"Sister-in-law."
"What's the matter with the third sister?"
Gu Yue smiled coldly, "Can you leave the second room? You care how much she eats and spends at the Acacia Home. Anyway, the money should be given to the second room."
Xiao Zhang said righteously: "I don't agree with what the third sister said. Our big room and your second room have not been separated yet, and the money is in the public. It should be clear that every account should be settled. When the family is divided in the future, Not to mention that the Acacia Institute has reduced its expenses by 80%. Even if the master and servants of the Acacia Institute do not eat a grain of rice, our big room will never ask."
Gu Yue snorted, "You are so troublesome."
Xiao Zhang frowned, "The third sister is polite. After all, I am your eldest-in-law. I don't think the third sister wants to spread the reputation of being unruly."
Gu Yue's face was pale, and then he laughed, "Sister-in-law is worthy of being a housekeeper, goodbye!"
Xiao Zhang's anger was dead, she was so handsome, she became a housekeeper in Gu Yue's mouth.
She grabbed Gu Jiu, "Second sister, am I old?"
Gu Jiu couldn't help but laughed, "Sister-in-law, don't mind what the third sister says, she has a stinky mouth, don't be familiar with her."
Xiao Zhang touched his face, "I shouldn't look old, am I."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Sister-in-law is as beautiful as a flower, so how can you look old. You are lame when you say you are old."
Xiao Zhang laughed, "Second sister, you can really talk. By the way, has the third sister's temper been so bad?"
"She, sister-in-law will be clear by observing for a few more days."
It seems that Gu Yue's temper is really bad.
Xiao Zhang said: "The third sister will soon marry into the Haixibo Mansion. Can her temperament adapt to the sword and shadow of the Haixibo Mansion?"
Gu Jiu said, "I don't know about this. Let's look at her good luck."
Gu Zhen's wedding date is set in July. Twenty days earlier than Gu Yue's wedding.
The eldest wife Zhang is worried about the money.
This year, the Fuzhong will hold at least four weddings. Gu Ban's wedding has been completed and all the money has been spent.
Next, Gu Zhen.
Gu Yue followed.
At the end of the year it was Gu Jiu's turn.
Dowry and weddings cost a lot of money.
There are too many places to spend money this year, far more than in previous years, it is very likely that this year will be a deficit.
Therefore, the eldest wife Zhang had to beat Xie to restrain her. Greedy for money cannot be so blatant.
The public school is running out of money, and this year's income will not be available until the end of the year.
Master and Gu, both of them are expensive. The errands are out on errands, and they all need overhead.
Fuzhong only sees spending money every day, but doesn't see it being accounted for.
Looking through the ledger, the eldest wife Zhang was worried.
It seems that the outside shop, Zhuangzi, can only hand in the first half of the earnings. Only in this way can the expenses in the second half of the year be covered.
The eldest wife Zhang ordered the maid Shaoyao, "Go ask the second wife, the marriage of Jane and Yue, who is the second room going to entertain? How many tables are there?"
Peony took the order, "The slave servant will pass."
The people in the second room are all in Furongyuan.
The Xu family sent a bride price of three thousand taels. Aunt Hu and Gu Zhen were so happy.
With these three thousand taels, Gu Zhen's dowry was finally tens of thousands taels, and it would be very face to speak out.
Today is a good day. When everyone was happy, the Haixi Bofu also sent a betrothal gift of ten thousand taels.
Gu Yue was overjoyed.
With this ten thousand tael dowry, plus the twenty thousand tael dowry Xie prepared for her, you can make up a total of thirty thousand tael dowry.
Thirty thousand taels and one hundred and sixty units are also very beautiful.
Xie looked at the dowry gift from the Xu family, silk, satin, cotton cloth, jewelry and jade made up the majority.
She said with a faint expression, "Move these dowry gifts to Zhilan Academy for a while. The master ordered the second girl to prepare the dowry for Zhen girl. I won't get involved in this matter."
Gu Jiu stood up, "Mrs. Lao bother. I'll let people carry the bride price down. I won't take up space."
Xie chuckled, "It takes up a lot of space. And compared with the betrothal gift of Hexibo Mansion, it is really shabby."
Aunt Hu's face changed slightly and she looked at Gu Zhen worriedly.
Gu Zhen didn't care about Xie's sarcasm at all.
As long as the dowry is in hand, Xie's attitude, Gu Zhen doesn't care at all.
She is a concubine, the dowry can be ten thousand taels, she is very satisfied.
It doesn't matter if it is less than Gu Yue.
Gu Yue's dowry is still less than Gu Jiu's.
On embarrassment, isn't Gu Yue more embarrassed than her.
Qingmei came in with her mother-in-law, registered the betrothal gifts one by one, and then carried them back to the warehouse of Zhilan Academy.
"Mother, let's take a look at the betrothal gift from Hexibo Mansion." Gu Yue couldn't hide his excitement.
Xie's flipped through the offer list and was barely satisfied.
"Open the box for registration."
The cage opened, and Gu Yue leaned forward to look.
Xie frowned, "Yue'er, dignified."
Gu Yue smiled embarrassedly and returned to her position.
Xie ordered the maid to count the bride price.
With silk and satin cloth, jewellery, and pressed boxes of silver, there is even another courtyard.
Gu Yue was pleasantly surprised.
