Immediately, he had to point out the most intimate grandmother around him to Mrs. Zhang, and he wanted to give the big girl next to him to Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly refused: "Mother, I don't need so many people to serve." No one served me before, I have passed for decades, and now this woman is still holding the blessing of my pearl, and she has to buy it for me, and one of her is enough, where do I need someone to serve? ”

"In the mansion of the country, there are also a lot of girls and mothers-in-law in the past, one person can't wait to be surrounded by seven or eight people, more than a dozen eyes are staring, you will swarm around as soon as you move, you know that you are waiting for people, and those who don't know think that this is to come up and grab money!"

"I said that I was going to serve me to dress and wash my face, but I didn't have no hands or feet, even if I wanted someone to serve me, I could do it alone, where would I need so many people? One by one, they did such a little work, dressed like the master's lady, and there were little girls serving them below. ”

"Eat no worse than the master, one by one than the master has a pie, and also give them monthly money, and reward them every New Year's holiday, where is this to let the next person serve themselves, this is the last life to owe them silver, this life to pay off the debt! Because of this, I returned everything that the people in the Guogong Mansion over there could withdraw, and those who couldn't return let me rush to sweep the yard, chop wood, and plant vegetables! Anyway, you can't keep them for rice! ”

"I'm just such a temper, even if my mother gives me people, I don't have a place to call them, isn't it a waste? What's more, these people are all old people who are easy to call for their mothers, if they are given to me, and then find someone to serve their mother, wouldn't it be convenient? ”

"I can't just come back so that my mother doesn't even have a good girl, right? My mother doesn't have to worry about me, I live in a yard with my mother, what is the matter, give me an order, do they dare not listen to me? ”

"So I really don't need to arrange someone for me, I'll just rub the people in my mother's yard to use it!"

Hearing this, the old lady of the Gu family couldn't cry or laugh, and on the one hand, she felt sorry for her daughter's suffering, and on the other hand, she saw that her daughter was so unhappy, and she didn't want to disobey her.

The eldest lady of the Gu family changed her face when she heard this, the speaker had no intention, and the listener had a heart.

The atmosphere in which she grew up, everything she saw, who didn't grow up around the maid, the higher the door, the more people served the master.

has always grown up like this, and the handkerchief ladies around me have lived such a life, even more so after marrying into the Gu family.

Especially over the years, the Gu family has been quite prosperous, except for the slightly thinner heirs in the third room, there are several generations in their big house and second room.

Now that he is older, the three brothers have become married, and they have married two daughters, and there are two brothers in the family who have not married wives and two sisters who have not married.

The expenses over the years have also increased year by year, the population has increased, and there are more people to serve, plus the daughter-in-law married in, and also brought the family members to accompany the room, from generation to generation, and the descendants have also had children.

When the children of the subordinates grew up, they all thought about the benefits of being in the house, and they were reluctant to go out, thinking of ways to let their children enter the house to receive errands.

There are so many positions, but there are too many people waiting for errands, and she is not that unkind, and the people who come to plead and say good things are all old people who follow her, and it is not easy to lose face.

Over the years, in order to accommodate the children of these subordinates, she has also added a lot of places in the house.

Not to mention anything else, there are several more people serving around each master, not to mention cleaning and doing rough work.

In the past few years, the monthly expenses of the next person, as well as various expenses, are not a small amount.

In the past, I didn't think that because she had a rich marriage, she had a lot of financial management means, and the Gu family's industry was also quite rich, although the expenses seemed to be more and more year by year, she didn't think much about it.

Hearing Mrs. Zhang say this today, the eldest lady of the Gu family listened to it, and thought about it, isn't this the Gu family's man working hard outside, as the head of the house, she works hard to take care of the housework, and the silver she earns every year is not able to support these people?

Think about the two girls who are not out of the cabinet now, there are only four big girls around them, six second-class girls, eight third-class little girls, not counting the mother-in-law who cleans, the grandmother, and the grandmother who teaches the rules.

In a small courtyard, there is a master, and there are twenty or thirty people who serve.

Not to mention the little master who has become a parent, in addition to these equipment, there is also a companion room brought in by the daughter-in-law of the marriage, especially the son, each of whom has four more small servants, and there is a long entourage who runs errands outside.

In this way, it is really not unknowing, and when it is calculated, it is shocking, and the eldest lady of the Gu family can't help but break out in a cold sweat on her back.

However, the eldest lady of the Gu family was calm in the end, and her heart was turbulent, but there was no difference on her face, and she said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I will also rely on my sister, but in the end I am serving alone, I am afraid that it is also a little difficult to help." ”

"If my sister doesn't dislike it, I give my sister a grandmother, who raised me at the beginning, because there is no one at home, I also promised to support her. No matter how kind she is, it's better to call her over, don't say anything else, she knows most of the things in this house, let her point out the mother-in-law brought by the sister-in-law, and when the mother-in-law is familiar with our family, I will let her go back to my side. Isn't that good? ”

This is because I am afraid that the people brought by Mrs. Zhang are not familiar with the Gu family, and I am also worried that the people in the old lady's yard will not take care of them for a while and wronged Mrs. Zhang.

Send someone to train Mrs. Wu, and then go back after Mrs. Wu is familiar with the Gu family.

It also shows that he has no intention of interfering in the courtyard of Mrs. Zhang and the old lady of the Gu family.

Everyone understood, and Mrs. Zhang didn't postpone it anymore, and nodded very frankly and accepted: "Sister-in-law is the best arrangement!" Thank you sister-in-law first! ”

After saying a few words, when she saw it, Mrs. Gu ordered the meal to be set, and asked people to invite Knowles, An's and two nieces to dinner.

The person who went to invite him had not yet arrived, but he heard a commotion at the gate of the courtyard, as if someone was arguing.

Wang Yongzhu's ears were sharp, and he heard a female voice that was very sharp: "You slaves who look down on people, what are you sitting in the door?" Still out of the way? I'm going to see the old lady! I want to ask, there are guests in this house, why do you hide it from our three rooms? Could it be that you can't see anyone? ”

"Wow, they all bullied us and no one in the third room, didn't they? Boss, listen, look, this is your Gu family! All of them are good, everything is a family! Where is this treating us as a family? There is something to hide, for fear that we will know! ”

"I still have to see what kind of guest is this from? Do you want to be embarrassed? Yesterday I came, I think it was good to see our Gu family, and today I still dragged my family with bags and moved all my luggage? Could it be that we can't live in our family permanently? ”
