Everyone immediately looked at Wen Qingzhu.

Wen Qingzhu nodded as usual: "Steward Cao, please ask." ”

"This safflower shouldn't be an ordinary safflower, right?"

"Well, it's called saffron, and it can invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis with medicine, and it can make wounds fester."

When they heard the previous sentence, everyone didn't feel anything, until the last sentence, everyone's hearts sank.

Steward Cao nodded: "Thank you Miss Seven, that villain knows." ”

I saw Cao Yu come forward and say a few words in Wen Shuquan's ear.

The slaves kneeling on the ground were nervous, most of them had not really done anything.

However, Aunt Wu and Aunt Yue looked slightly different.

After a while, Cao Yu turned around and pointed to Ding's mother who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Your maid has already confessed, and today you deliberately sent wine to Xia's mother." ”

"The steward spares his life, the slave maid is because today is the old lady's birthday, and I thought that Mama Xia was left alone in the warehouse and no one took care of her, so she specially sent wine over."

"Then why did you tell the maid to avoid the people in the East Courtyard and listening to Qin Xuan?" Cao Yu asked sharply.

Ding's mother had a ghost in her heart, but she didn't think of asking for Mama Xia's life at all.

Her servant tried to explain it clearly, but what she said was not convincing at all.

"Slave, slave just wants to ...... I don't want to disturb people......"

"Needless to say, come on, arrest Ding's mother!" Cao Yu didn't care about Ding's mother at all.

Ding's mother was dragged down, she begged loudly for mercy, and even wanted to beg Aunt Wu for mercy.

But when she saw Aunt Wu's cruel eyes, she closed her mouth again.

Then Cao Yu continued to identify the mothers in charge of the sewing room, kitchen, and charcoal room.

Except for Wei's mother, everyone was suspicious.

When all the people were dragged down, the dishes present were slightly frightened.

Especially Aunt Wu, looking at Mother Wei who was left behind by Wu Zi out of the corner of her eyes, she was so nervous that her back was sweating.

When Cao Yu left, she called Wei's mother and asked her to interrogate the problematic housekeeper's mother.

Wen Shuquan's face was ugly, he didn't expect Yan Yuan to become like this.

Except for the injured Mama Xia, there is no credible person.

By this time, Uncle Wen had already made up his mind.

Mama Xia's matter, no matter whether anyone is innocent in the end, will be broken in the end.

Half an hour later, Cao Yu and Tian Chong came in together.

"Back to the third master, the matter has been investigated." Cao Yu told Wen Shuquan what happened next.

Ding's mother, who was sweeping the house at the beginning, gave Mama Xia wine with drugs.

After Mama Xia was unconscious, she sprinkled the other housekeeper mother who was cleaning the room, Mother Fish.

She quietly stole Mama Xia's key.

Unexpectedly, halfway through, I met Mama Luo in the kitchen and Mama Xu in the sewing room.

Most of Luo's mother's people were borrowed, and she was too busy with the kitchen to leave, so she left first.

Mother Xu knew that Mother Yu should not appear here at this time, because she should go to greet the guests of the Wen family.

She didn't go back, but secretly followed the fish mother storeroom.

When I was tracking, I met Mother Jin, who was temporarily managing the charcoal fire.

The three of them screamed in surprise because of the sudden appearance of the wild cat.

At this point, the three of them discover each other.

When I walked to the door of the storeroom, I found that the door of the storeroom had been opened.

The three of them suspect each other of stealing something and plan to denounce each other.

But halfway through Aunt Wu came back, she pressed the matter.

None of the three stole anything from the warehouse, but Ding's mother's delivery of wine was known to Deng's mother.

She always wanted to be the chief steward of the sewing room, so she quietly went to Xiao Li's mother in the kitchen to discuss.

borrowed a wooden hammer from Xiao Li's mother, and she deliberately injured Mama Xia.

When I left from Mama Xia, I ran into Mama Ye.

Mother Deng was worried that Mother Ye would know something, so she deliberately went to the east courtyard to pick a safflower leaf and threw it near the warehouse.

This matter was seen by the little maid in Aunt Yue's yard, but Mother Qu unintentionally took the maid.

Wen Shuquan's face had recovered.

Cao Yu asked him: "Third master, how do you deal with the mothers who are in charge?" Each person commits a different crime, should they be dealt with separately? ”

"No, you don't." Uncle Wen raised his head and looked at Aunt Wu and Aunt Yue.

Aunt Wu was just about to look at Uncle Wen's face, and she happened to look at him.

Aunt Wu hurriedly lowered her head, her face pale.

"The mothers who commit the crime will be dealt with according to the betrayal."

As soon as the words fell, Aunt Wu's heart was strained.

The mothers who committed the crime are basically her people.

Cao Yu thought for a while and said, "Mother Luo and Mother Qu are not involved in this matter, how should they deal with it?" ”

"Tune out Yanyuan." Uncle Wen didn't hesitate at all.

No one of these people, no matter who they are, can stay.

Cao Yu suddenly thought of another person: "What about Mother Wei?" She was sick and had been resting in her room. ”

Uncle Wen was silent for a moment and then said, "Mother Wei, stay, but transfer her to the East Courtyard." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Including Wen Qingzhu, she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Wen Shuquan.

What happened to Wei's mother before, did he know about it?

Cao Yu received the order and immediately went down to make arrangements.

The room fell silent again.

Wen Qingzhu thought about it and made a suggestion to Uncle Wen: "Father, Zhu'er thinks that the reason why there are so many things in Yanyuan is that Yanyuan's manpower is too chaotic, why don't you leave only the kitchen and warehouse next time, and the rest of the things are simply assigned to each courtyard?" ”

Uncle Wen raised his head and looked at Wen Qingzhu quietly.

It's not like no one has mentioned this suggestion, but in this way, the consumption in each yard is not accounted for, and it is easy to conceal it.

The silver for the three-bedroom public has always been insufficient, and in addition to the east courtyard, the west courtyard and Tingqin Xuan will be in short supply.

Wen Qingzhu knew his worries and continued to explain: "There are too many housekeepers in Yanyuan, which in itself is a consumption. ”

Without waiting for Uncle Wen to reply, Wen Qingzhu asked Lu Tao to report his daily accounts.

When everyone heard this, they were secretly frightened.

It turned out that everyone wanted to go to the public account, and the extra monthly money of the slaves was actually not less than that of each of them.

Wen Qingzhu saw that Uncle Wen was already thinking about this matter.

She steadied her heart and said: "In fact, in this case, it is better to set an upper limit for each yard, and if the upper limit is exceeded, we will tell my father here, whether we want to use this extra money or not, it is up to my father's decision." ”

Uncle Wen didn't want to agree, but their three rooms really couldn't withstand such a toss.

"Yes."

……

At night, Wen Qingzhu soaked in warm water and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Green pottery sits next to it, adding flower petals and essential oils to the tub.

Thinking of the things during the day, Lu Tao was very happy and said: "In this way, the West Courtyard will not be arrogant!" At least don't dare to blatantly swallow the money of the public account anymore! ”

"Not necessarily." Wen Qingzhu opened his eyes and looked at the curtain above his head.

Green Tao wondered, "But didn't you put an upper limit on the use of each yard?" The West Courtyard definitely didn't dare to report the accounts at will. ”

"The upper limit is just for my father, and the matter of our Yanyuan is complicated." Wen Qingzhu shook his head.

Yanyuan has two aunts who have entered the household registration, which is destined to make the affairs of Yanyuan more complicated than the affairs of other houses.

The big house is in Wan's management, and Wen Bogui only has a few rooms.

Although the second room was chaotic, Wen Zhong never dared to be too presumptuous, and only one of the real aunts was registered.

Other warblers and swallows, even if they are favored, have no name after all.

As for the four rooms, Wen Jihua simply didn't have a connecting room.

Yang's temperament dares to be so bold and spicy, not only because the old lady Liu is her aunt.

The most important thing is Wen Jihua's special favor for her.

Thinking of this, Wen Qingzhu was very envious.

A couple for a lifetime, how much she longed for it.

Seeing that Wen Qingzhu lost her mind, Lu Tao knew that she had her own considerations.

However, today, Yan Yuan's housekeeper mother collectively changed blood, and she still didn't understand it.

"Miss, how the hell did you do that? Let them all show their feet today? ”

Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help laughing: "Actually, it's not complicated, Aunt Wu wants to take the key to the treasury, but she hasn't dared to do it, and the reason why Ding's mother dares to do it today is because Lu Yu went to ask Ding's mother to do it, and by the way, she also gave her an idea." ”

Lu Tao was even more puzzled: "Without Aunt Wu's instructions, how could Lu Yu give Ding's mother ideas?" ”

At this time, the sound of peonies was heard outside.

"Miss, the slave is back."

Wen Qingzhu raised his head, looked at the peony outside the curtain and said, "Come in." ”

The figure outside the curtain raised his hand to open the curtain, revealing a familiar face.

Green Tao was so shocked that he shouted, "You, you—"

The person in front of him was Lu Yufa's face.

"Green Tao, I'm a peony."

Peony looked at her, touched her neck, and then tore off a piece of dough, revealing Peony's original appearance.

Green Tao was even more frightened, and looked at the peony incredulously: "There is really human skin in this world. Masks and such things? ”

"This is what the young lady handed over to the slave." Peony explained to the green pottery.

Then she put the human skin. The mask was put away, and he walked behind Wen Qingzhu: "Slave and maid, give Miss a massage." ”

Green Tao's gaze always followed Peony's face.

She was really surprised.

However, she still couldn't figure it out: "Isn't the peony on Zhuangzi's side?" ”

"I came back quietly today, the reason why Yanyuan's housekeeper mother was able to meet so smoothly was that I changed several faces to do it."

Peony gave Wen Qingzhu a massage while explaining to Green Tao.

Wen Qingzhu also accidentally discovered that Peony was very talented in imitating human voices, so she quietly made a few human skins. Mask.

I was waiting for the day of the old woman's birthday.

According to the plan, these eyeliner borers in Yanyuan will be wiped out.

Early the next morning, a new housekeeper mother came to Yanyuan's kitchen.

When Wen Qingzhu walked to the front hall, he found that in addition to the strange housekeeper mother, there was also Tian Chong.

"Steward Tian."

"Miss Seven."

After greeting each other, Tian Chong pointed to the chubby housekeeper mother beside him and said, "This is Mother Qiu, who was on an errand in Zimingtang before, and will be in charge of the kitchen in the future, and she will only report to you in the future." ”
