Chapter 960
Rules, rules, these two words, may be just an order from the superior, or it may be a country, a nation inherited hundreds of years of precipitated customs, in short, it is said to be light and light, heavy and heavy, but one thing is certain, that is, up to the country, down to the people of Li must abide by the rules, any unruly existence will be eliminated by time.
The state has national laws, and the family has family rules.
The existing rules must be enforced, Erfu has no other thoughts, she just wants to determine the implementation of the new family rules, and the matter of punishing the palace maids and servants at will must be resisted indefinitely, everyone is raised by parents, and it is already miserable to be born as a slave and a maid, if you still let others bully and scold, it will be really pitiful.
However, Mama Gui was not reckless and rude, she dared to punish the maidservant at the door of the weeping flowers, because there was enough excuse, and she did not give an answer for a long time, just because she was considering Erfu's intentions.
As a slave, it is my duty to be diligent and diligent, and it is more important to have a clear eye and a bright heart.
Mama Gui was elected to the palace at the age of five, she knew that her appearance was not outstanding, and there was no ambition for other palace maids to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, starting from following the old mama to learn the rules, to becoming the most inconspicuous sprinkling and sweeping palace maid in the palace, and then to sit smoothly in the position of the big palace maid, step by step to the position of Mama, with the ground is clever and obedient, she doesn't care where she is on an errand, these eyes will be wide open, but what should be seen, she will definitely see, what should not be seen, she will also keep secrets, and hide the private affairs of those masters in the bottom of her heart, no matter how many people next to her are talking about the rights and wrongs of the masters, she will never say muchγ
Because of this, she suppressed Mama Hui, who entered the mansion with her, and became the housekeeper with a face in the house, in charge of all the palace maids and servants in the house, but once a son of heaven and a courtier, now that the master of the house has changed, she doesn't know what day awaits her, so she must be more cautious.
She pondered for a moment, and decided that there should be one and two to say.
"That being the case, you should send people back to the Internal Affairs Mansion directly, although the palace maid is a person in our house when she enters our fourth master's mansion, but in the end, she is born in the coat flag, and the face that should be given is still to be taken into account, and you still have to pay attention in the future, so as not to let someone use these excuses to attack our fourth master. Knowing that there is a reason why Mama Gui reprimands the palace maid, Erfu will not be unreasonable, she nodded slightly, and finally knocked a few words in a low voice, lest Mama Gui act more and more casually in the future, and punish the palace people arbitrarily when she finds a reason.
Mama Gui has long heard from other people's mouths that Erfu is a kind and benevolent master, so it is not expected that Erfu will have such a reaction, but she secretly sneered in her heart, despising Erfu's woman's benevolence, at that time, the house was grounded by the Zongren Mansion because of the fourth master, rumors spread, if you don't punish a few people heavily, this crooked wind can be suppressed, but the slave is the one who shares the worries of the master, seeing that Erfu is not happy that she disposes of the arrangement like this, she will not stand up to the wind to show her own merits, and deal with a few words of respect, so she will leave this matter behindγ
Erfu sat in Gui Mama's room for a while, and saw that there was a little palace maid outside who wanted to come in, so she was about to get up and leave, but the moment she walked to the door, she suddenly remembered something serious, "You copy a copy of the list of palace maids and servants in the palace, and send it to the main courtyard for me later, I plan to choose a few clever little eunuchs for the children in the palace to accompany me." β
After speaking, she waved her hand freely, and smiled and asked Mama Gui to go back.
Coming out of Mama Gui's room, she originally planned to go to Mama Du, who was in charge of shopping in various parts of the inner courtyard, but seeing that the sky was getting darker, she was also a little tired, so she dispelled this idea, but she didn't know that she was lazy at this time, and she really frightened Mama Du who lived in the back room.
Mama Du was worried in her room for a while, and after making sure that Erfu would not come, she hurriedly called the little palace maid to guard the door and went to Mama Qin and Mama Gui's room to inquire about the news, but they were all old men who had worked together for some years, who didn't know whom, she had been in the courtyard for more than an hour, and she didn't hear half of the truth, so she became more and more uneasy, she couldn't sit still anymore, and she couldn't even take care of dinner, so she went directly to the main courtyard to see Erfu.
It's just that she fidgeted and didn't eat, but Erfu was enjoying the food with Xiao Qi and Hongxuan, and suddenly heard Mama Du come to ask for peace, and the half of the silk apple in her mouth forgot to chew, blinking her beautiful apricot eyes, and turned her head to look at the filigree table clock on the Bogu shelf, how could there be such an unruly palace maid in this house, and actually came to ask for peace at this point in time, she was still a housekeeper, and she was in charge of the most oily and watery errand in the house, which was really a big surprise.
However, Mama Du has a head and a face, that is, she is just a palace maid, and Erfu will not neglect Hongxuan, who finally came from the front yard to accompany her to dinner, in order to see her, she twisted her eyebrows a little displeased, and instructed Shilan who was waiting next to her: "Let her wait in the wing room first." β
After saying that, she waved her hand impatiently, urging Shilan to go down and deal with it.
Under the steps of the corridor, Mama Du, who was anxiously waiting for Erph to summon her, listened to Shilan's words, the whole person was stunned, but she also quickly realized that she came at a bad time, because there were obviously two small maids standing under the corridor who were dressed up, she was busy following Shilan to the wing, and all kinds of jokes were sold on the way, and even her favorite pair of skein gold bracelets were stuffed into Shilan as a reward, just begging Shilan to say a few good words for her in front of Erfu, who made her more and more confused the older she was, she didn't even realize that it was dinner time, and ran over to Erfu so anxiously to say goodbye, no wonder Erf didn't even bother to say a polite word and sent her to the side room to wait.
Although it was said that it did not disturb the dinner of the mother and son, but because there was a housekeeper waiting outside, Xiao Qi and Hongxuan had eaten, and it was not good to pull Erfu to play anymore, so they got up and left after sitting for a while, watching the two children walk out of the courtyard, Erfu, who was thinking of playing with the two children for a while, pouted unhappily, and complained coldly: "What is the matter with her, she actually wants to come here." β
But even so, she didn't deliberately cold Mama Du.
After a while, Shilan brought in Mama Du, who was sweating profusely, from outside, Erfu raised her hand to exempt Mama Du, pointed to the embroidered pier on the head, and asked angrily: "You are in such a hurry to come over to greet me, what is the big deal?" β
Where is there something urgent to rush back and forth......
When Mama Du heard this, she felt bitter in her heart, reluctantly squeezed out a light smile, and replied with an ugly face: "That...... Belch...... In fact, the slave and maid are to send the purchase account to the master, and now it is the time of the change of season, and there are a lot of things that need to be replaced everywhere, especially the sewing room that has purchased a lot of precious fabrics. β
She stumbled and finished speaking, only to realize that she hadn't brought the ledger with her at all.
Erfu also saw that Mama Du didn't look like she was carrying an account book, and looked at Mama Du with a teasing look on her face, poor Mama Du was obviously wearing a very thin gown, and there were still beads of sweat on her face, that is, Shilan was kind enough to solve the siege, otherwise she probably wouldn't have the face to continue to sit down in the main courtyard, she wiped the beads of sweat in a panic, and finally decided to tell the truth with a wry smile, because she really couldn't find an excuse to justify herself, and she was really afraid that the more she explained, the more she couldn't explain clearly, but she would anger Erfu, the concubine.
"You are too much heart, I went to Mama Qin and Mama Gui there is something to tell them, I didn't go to you because the time was a little late, and now it's time for dinner, I'm going to come back to arrange the dinner menu, if I explain it like this, can you understand, where are so many conspiracies and calculations, even if it's a calculation, can I be guilty of calculating you as a housekeeper, if I really want to exempt you from your errand, just give a direct order, do you think I can't even deal with a housekeeper like you?" Erfu smiled bitterly and explained a few words to Mama Du, she was really afraid that Mama Du would scare herself to death like this, but in the end, she still said two heavy words.
Because she is so angry, how can she find excuses and reasons in the eyes of Mama Du, she even needs to find excuses and reasons to exempt a housekeeper from the errand, she is the rightful hostess in this house, that is, the housekeeper has great power, but she is not as big as the hostess, and the only male master in the house who has more power than her will never work against her in this kind of thing.
In fact, Mama Du also knew that if Erfu really wanted to deal with her, it would be as easy as crushing an ant to death, and she came to explain, just to try to make a good impression before Erfu didn't deal with her, so that Erfu would let go of her, the diligent housekeeper, and there was no suspicion that Erfu was testing her thoughts when she explained in a panic, she could only say that she was too anxious, and finally made more and more wrong to say, and the more she explained, the darker it became, and in the end she was angry because she disturbed Erfu and Hongxuan, Little Seven Three Parent-Child Activities Caused Erfu to be in a bad mood.
Of course, Erfu will not be exempted from Mama Du's errand because of this little thing.
In fact, Erff is a very fair and just person, she believes in the saying that if the water is clear, there is no fish, as long as the people under her are not particularly excessive, she will not oppress people with power, just like the examples she has allocated everywhere, she will leave a little gray ground for the housekeeper, so as long as Mama Du does not do things that betray the master, the errand will not be lost.
In order to let Mama Du be at ease on an errand and not to cause other incidents, she still told the bottom line, she didn't say that she wanted to buy people's hearts, she was just afraid that Mama Du would be flustered and take refuge in other masters, adding unnecessary trouble to her, this time she left Mama Du to talk in the room, and told Mama Du her bottom line to know, which means that Mama Du is her own person, so she also restrained the unswerving on her face, while beckoning Mama Du to eat some snacks.
Since it is her own person, some false etiquette is not particularly important, and she is not willing to treat her own people badly, she can't let her own people go hungry, she watched Du Mama gradually calm down, and finally said her purpose, "Buying this stall, I will completely hand over your responsibility, whether the people under this are good or bad, everything needs to be controlled by yourself, if there is a problem with the purchase, I don't ask others, question you, I believe that Mama Du is a smart person, you should understand what I mean." β
"The slave and the maid understand that the slave and the maid will live up to the trust of the master. Mama Du replied respectfully.
Erfu left Mama Du in the room to talk for a while, knowing that she hadn't eaten yet, but she didn't reward other gold and silver things, so she directly asked the small kitchen to cook two dishes for Mama Du, and let her carry a food box back to the side across the courtyard.
In the courtyard next to her, Mama Qin and Mama Gui, and even Aunt Yuxiu, who lived in the Great North House, were staring at Mama Du's movements, and when they saw her coming back with a food box, Mama Qin and Mama Gui knew that she not only did not make Erfu unhappy, but also pleased Erfu, so they all greeted her one after another, accompanied her back to the back room, and asked her about going to the main courtyard, but the roles just now were reversed, before Mama Du ran to Mama Qin and Mama Gui to talk to her, both of them took care of him and her Tai Chi, how could she be so kind to tell them the truth at this time, she pretended to entertain Mama Qin and Mama Gui who came over to join in the fun, put the two side dishes in the food box and a stew pot of tonic soup on the table, and asked the little palace maid to go to the big kitchen to buy a table of noodles, and greeted Mama Qin and Mama Gui to drink two cups together.
"Seeing Sister Du so happy, shouldn't it be Fujin rewarding you!" Mama Gui is young, she doesn't care about Fu Xiao's low smile, seeing Mama Du's appearance of being a villain, although she is not happy in her heart, her face is full of flattering smiles, and she asked with a smile.
Mama Du smiled and waved her hand and said: "What is the reward, look, I'm not empty-handed, I just think that our sisters haven't been together for a few days, it's rare that there is no mess in the house to find annoying, but it can't be lively." β
After saying that, she had already asked the palace maids in the room to serve the tea to retreat, planning to have a few thoughtful words with Mama Gui and Mama Qin.
Don't look at them seem to be fighting endlessly, and they are hiding all kinds of thoughts between each other, but they are actually on the same front, because the few housekeepers promoted by the Wulanala clan are not the people who have the Baoyi family behind them, they must help each other, so as to suppress those ambitious opponents below, of course, they will promote such a few grandmothers who do not have the Baoyi family as a backer, and it is not that the Wulanala clan deliberately arranged it like this, but the fourth master does not like those Baoyi families to continue to grow bigger in the Internal Affairs Office, so these things were taken into account as early as the beginning of the establishment of the government, so even if the Wulanala clan wants to use this to win over the Baoyi family, there is no way.
