Chapter 272

The kitchen steward asks Gu Jiu to complain.

"Madam, there are many things in the kitchen. Once the staff are cut off, it will be even more busy. Please take it back. "

Gu Jiu looked at Mrs. Zhu, "it's the Lord and the princess who decided to abolish the staff. There's no way to change it. If you are not satisfied, go and tell the princess

Zhu's heart is full of fury. If I can talk to the princess directly, why should I come to see you.

She tried to say, "there are so many things in the kitchen every day, from morning to night. The two girls, Qingzhu and Xiaocui, saw with their own eyes that the maid absolutely did not deceive. All of a sudden, the kitchen was too busy. After a while, you may have to rearrange people to work in the kitchen. It's better to use skilled hands than to use raw ones. "

Gu Jiu looked at Mrs. Zhu with a smile. "There are many things in the kitchen. It's not fake. However, no matter how busy we are, we can't be busy enough to abolish a few people.

Every yard has been cut by 30%. I heard that the fourth young master used to have eight dishes and two soup for each meal. Now, the fourth lady is in charge of it. Each meal is changed into four dishes and two soup.

Every courtyard eats less food every day, so your kitchen should be more leisure than before. If you're busy, you'll have to do it twice. Don't do it once. "

Mrs. Zhu's face looked like a pig's liver. "The lady really knows everything. But can the men and women decide who should be dismissed? "

Gu Jiu stares at each other and smiles softly, "it's not impossible for you to decide. After all, you are the kitchen steward, and you are most familiar with the inside and outside of the kitchen. But you'd better show my wife the list first. "

Zhu Po Tzu was so happy that she directly reported the names of several troubling servants.

Gu nine a listen to the name, a clear smile.

As expected, everyone is taking this opportunity to eradicate dissidents.

"You don't have a good list. These people, as far as I know, have been working hard. There is nothing wrong with it except that your mouth is a little bit broken and I like to tell you about it. "

Mrs. Zhu was embarrassed, but she was still arguing, "madam, the maid is really not selfish. I want to do a good job in the kitchen, but these people are always against the maid, so that nothing can be done well. It's impossible to get rid of the kitchen, madam

Gu nine cold hum a, facial expression a cold, "you are threatening this madam?"

"I dare not."

Zhu did not dare to say that, but she did not think so.

She secretly turned her mouth, what big lady, no power, really think that she can make decisions?

Gu Jiu sneered, "if my wife has to leave these people, what do you want?"

Mrs. Zhu said, "the maid is really powerless. I'm afraid the kitchen is not willing to do anything."

Gu Jiu picked up her eyebrows and laughed, "in this way, your ability is really unbearable. You can't even manage a kitchen. What qualifications do you have to be a kitchen steward. Mrs. Ben, you might as well cut you off and replace yourself with someone who has the ability to take care of Mrs. Ben's kitchen. "

Mrs. Zhu's face changed. "The maid is an old man in the house and has been working in the kitchen. There is no one in the whole family who knows the kitchen better than the slaves. "

"What? The kitchen is a place to cook, not to compete for qualifications. Since you can't manage the kitchen well, you can go home and provide for the aged. "

Gu Jiu's face is serious and never shows mercy.

But Mrs. Zhu said, "madam, you can't lay off your servants. The maid's daughter married mother Qin's nephew, and she went to see mother Qin and the princess. "

"Tough slave!" Mother Fang yelled.

Gu Jiu waved her hand, indicating that mother Fang didn't have to worry.

She looked at Mrs. Zhu. "Do you think you are important, so important that the princess will scold Mrs. Ben for you? Who gave you your face?

My wife's first daughter-in-law of Wang's mansion dismissed a servant, so I don't believe who dares to hit Mrs. Ben's face.

If you don't believe it, you'll try to see if my wife can clean you up.

Come on, drag her down to me, check her greedy ink, how she satirizes her private purse. We must handle this matter in a down-to-earth manner, and no one dares to overturn the case. "

Xiaohuangmen Rongxin and huangzhuo bow down to take orders and drag Mrs. Zhu down.

At last she knew she was afraid.

She threw aside the two yellow doors and knelt on the ground with a thump. "Madam, I know I'm wrong. I really know I'm wrong. I will not dare again. I will listen to my wife. The lady told the slaves to go east, and the maids would never go west. Please give me another chance. "

Gu Jiu chuckled, "can you manage the kitchen well?"

"Yes, yes! The maid must be able to take care of the kitchen

Gu Jiu snorted, "it's too late. Before Mrs. Ben gave you a face, you don't want to, so now don't blame Mrs. Ben's ruthlessness. Put it off. "

This time, Rong Xin and Huang Zhuo didn't give Zhu a chance and dragged her out.

Mrs. Zhu exclaimed, "spare my life, madam! If you refuse to accept it, you should report it to the princess, saying that your wife is taking private revenge. "

"Hold on!"Mother Fang called out two yellow doors.

Mrs. Zhu's face was pleasantly surprised, but she thought the flowers were bright.

Mother Fang stepped forward, raised her hand, and slapped and puffed her face.

Then he said, "close her mouth. If you dare to talk nonsense again, cut her tongue. "

Zhu Pozi's eyes widened and she couldn't believe it.

Gu Jiu bowed her head and laughed. Mother Fang came out of the palace. She was the real cruel person.

Huang Zhuo took a smelly sock and put it directly into Zhu's mouth.

Zhu Pozi was almost knocked over by smoke.

And then she was dragged away.

After dealing with Mrs. Zhu, Gu Jiu wants to clean up the kitchen, which is much easier.

She rearranged the management of the kitchen and promoted a few brave people.

Finally, the list of cuts was handed in. The first name on the list is Mrs. Zhu.

Princess Pei met the list and refused to comment.

Mother Qin accepted the benefits of Mrs. Zhu's daughter and naturally wanted to speak for her.

She looked for an opportunity and said to Pei, "Niang, the first lady renovates the kitchen, which is also very cruel. Is it that she wants to establish authority and replace her. After all, she is the first daughter-in-law and should be a housekeeper. "

Pei is not willing to listen to this, "what is a reasonable housekeeper? Princess Ben is not dead yet. Don't forget, this is Prince Ning's mansion. My princess is the hostess of the palace. "

Mother Qin pretended to be frightened. "The maidservant didn't dare to forget what she said for a moment. The lady may not think so. As for the kitchen rectification, my mother specially arranged the errands for her, hoping that she could perform well.

As a result, she and Niangniang confront each other, specialized in dismissing Niang's people. It was arrogant of her to do so. It's a slap in the face

Pei frowned, then looked at the list of eyes, as expected, are some familiar names.

These people are not her people. But it's not right to say that these people are not hers.

Pei's family was in charge of the palace. He had a lot of resources and money in his hands. He didn't expect any oil and water in the kitchen.

Therefore, the people in the kitchen were not her cronies.

That is to say, it's easy to see. It's smart to look at it. Only then do we agree to put Mrs. Zhu and others in charge.

But what mother Qin said was also reasonable.

Gu Jiu a hand, cut off their own arrangement of people, clearly is the opposite to her.

She left the list to mother Qin, "tell the eldest lady to make another list. Don't stare at that little profit all day long. "

Mother Qin was overjoyed.

This matter, at least, has been accomplished.

"I will send someone to the east yard."

……

East Court.

Several servant girls of Qingmei are filled with righteous indignation.

Xiaocui snorted, "it must be mother Qin who made trouble from it. Mrs. Zhu's daughter-in-law is mother Qin's niece and daughter-in-law. It must be mother Qin's slander in front of the princess that the princess will not drop the list drawn up by her wife. "

"What can we do?" said green plum. Mother Qin is the most useful mother around the princess. Her words are more useful than her wife's ten words. "

Mother Fang discussed with Gu Jiu, "madam, do you want to draw up a new list?"

Gu Jiu shook his head, "No. Mrs. Zhu has to be laid off, which cannot be changed. If Mrs. Zhu turns over, no one will listen to me from now on up and down the kitchen. "

"Mother Qin wants to protect Mrs. Zhu, and the princess is standing on her side. What should we do about this?"

Gu Jiu chuckled softly. "Mother Qin really thought that if she said a few words, she would be able to drop this lady's decision and make Mrs. Zhu turn over. Then my wife let her know that some things can not be changed by slander. Go and call Huang Zhuo and them. "

Mother Fang's eyes lit up, "is Madame planning?"

Gu Jiu laughed. "The prince and the princess repeatedly stressed the need to be frugal. My wife did as they said, catching moths and cutting kitchen expenses. When you have the results, you will naturally report to the prince and the princess. "

Mother Fang laughed and said, "madam is right."

Huang Zhuo, several people, thoroughly investigate Mrs. Zhu.

In a short period of time, we have got the iron evidence.

Gu Jiu checked the evidence and nodded with satisfaction.

When everything is ready, Gu Jiu comes to CHUNHETANG with all kinds of materials.

The second lady Ouyang Fu asked with concern: "I heard that the elder sister-in-law has started to cut the kitchen. Is everything going well?"

"Thank you for your concern. Everything is going well."

Hearing this, Xiao qin'er sneered, "sister-in-law can really tell lies. How can I hear that the mother has already rejected your list and asked you to draw up a new list and hand it in. "

Gu Jiu chuckled softly and looked back at Xiao qin'er, "is there such a thing? Why don't I know? The news of the fourth sister-in-law is really smart. "

Xiao qin'er was dissatisfied, "what kind of fool do you pretend to be. This matter has long been spread throughout the whole government, but also delusional denial. Well, you have to face and suffer. "Gu Jiu said with a smile, "I don't have to worry about my affairs. You'd better take care of your own land. "

Everyone is here, and Pei's is in the hall.

They saluted and then sat down.

Pei's point to the point, "so many days have passed. Have you done everything you've done?"

"Don't worry. You've done as you told me."

When they handed in their respective lists, Pei glanced at them and said, "the princess will check these lists one by one to ensure that no one is abusing power for personal gain."

Finish saying, her eyes toward Gu Jiu one sweep, "big Lang daughter-in-law, where is the list of kitchen staff?"

Gu Jiu takes over the list from green plum and hands it in.

Pei's face collapsed as soon as he looked at it. "What's the matter with you? Princess Ben didn't send someone to tell you that this list was not passed, and asked you to draw up a new one. Did you turn in as like as two peas?

Gu Jiu was not anxious or slow. He said calmly: "my mother's wife, yesterday, her daughter-in-law had a deep reflection on herself. What's wrong with this list? Is anyone wronged?

Later, the daughter-in-law checked the kitchen books for nearly five years and found the crux of the problem.

These people on the list all deserve to die. They must not be allowed to remain in the palace as moths and greedy for the money of the palace.

Mother and concubine, please see. This is a bill sorted out by her daughter-in-law. I believe that the mother and princess will also support the daughter-in-law's decision after reading the bill. "

The bill went to Pei.

Pei's expression became more and more dignified as he turned through the pages.

Mother Qin stretched her neck, peeped into her eyes, and her heart leaped.

The eldest lady is so vicious. She has to do everything in order to cut off Mrs. Zhu.

She looked at Gu Jiu with a gloomy look in her eyes.

Gu Jiuchong laughed at her, as if to say: you do the first day, I do fifteen. No one should blame anyone if he is willing to accept defeat.

Mother Qin clenched her fist. At this time, she didn't dare to speak in vain, for fear of being angry by the princess.

Only hope that the princess can see through Gu Jiu's treachery. Don't be fooled.

After reading the bill, Pei asked darkly, "are these all true?"

Gu Jiu said definitely: "absolutely true."

"And the evidence? My princess can't tell by a bill you make that those people are moths. "

"The evidence is."

With that, Gu Jiu clapped his hands, and his servants came in carrying all the books in the kitchen for five years.

Gu Jiu pointed to the account books and said, "I'd like to report to my mother and concubine that my daughter-in-law has circled out all the accounts that have problems and have made a mark.

In addition, the daughter-in-law also compared the prices of the capital in the past five years, and concluded that in these five years alone, the kitchen people had at least tens of thousands of silver.

Push up for a few years, I don't know how much money they are greedy for.

For example, four childe's favorite chicken tongue is said to kill 100 chickens each time to make a chicken tongue feast. Cost accounting down, about 30 Liang.

But the record on the account book is fifty Liang, and it is higher year by year. By the end of this year, the price of chicken tongue banquet has risen to eighty Liang.

In fact, the total cost is still only 30 Liang. The extra 50 Liang, of course, is the result of greedy ink. "

"Good!" When Xiao qin'er heard about this, she was half dead with anger. "Dare you, the expenses in our yard are all greedy for ink by these moths. You have to decide for us, mother and concubine. " Pei Shi glared at Xiao qin'er. He didn't have any city government at all. He jumped out for the sake of a mere dozen Liang. Is his eyelid so shallow?

Shen side imperial concubine secretly smile, Xiao Qin Er this is to drill into money eye to go. She jumped out this time, didn't it help Gu Jiu.

He also said that he wanted to fight with Gu Jiu, but she was not led by Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu takes the chicken tongue that the fourth young master likes to eat as an example, and clearly he is deliberately calculating Xiao qin'er.

However, Xiao qin'er still took the initiative to jump into the pit.

Xiao qin'er has no way.

It's good to say that she's in the eye of money, or she's short-sighted. Doesn't she really know how to jump into the pit? Doesn't she know that jumping out is equivalent to helping Gu Jiu?

In fact, she knows.

It's really poverty and short ambition.

She has a lot of dowry, but she can't stand it. It costs a lot.

Liu Yi did not have any property under his name. He relied entirely on the monthly regulations of the government and the silver for running errands.

Prince Liu Yi, how can I spend this money.

From time to time, I have to find Xiao qin'er to get money.

Xiao qin'er's dowry silver is also limited, there is no way to open the supply, Liu Yi those messy expenses.

I can't help it. I can only make money.

In addition, she has been cut down to 30% of the cost. These days, Xiao qin'er is worried about money, and she is worried to death.

Suddenly, she heard that the kitchen dared to be greedy about the cost of their yard. She was so angry that she wanted to kill the kitchen people.I worked hard to save money, and I couldn't bear to spend it. As a result, it was cheaper than that bitch.

Xiao qin'er doesn't care about her position. No matter what contradiction she has with Gu Jiu, she just wants to ask the kitchen lady to spit out all the money for ink, so as to dispel her hatred.

Pei picked up an account book and looked through it.

As expected, as Gu Jiu said, the account books are marked with red ink, which is clear at a glance.

Compared with the actual price, the difference is clear at a glance.

Page by page, a Book of accounts turned over, rough calculation, at least three or four thousand Liang ink.

This is a Book of accounts.

In five years, there are ten books.

Pei didn't dare to calculate the account in detail.

Bang!

Pei left the account book on the table, "go and call the family order. I want to ask him, how does he manage the house? There are so many moths and so many ink addicts that he didn't find out in advance? "
