The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 327 Disposing of Evil Servants ([-])

After returning from Zhen Guogong's mansion, the whole family gathered in the hall of the main room. Su Chengzhi glanced at Ning Shi. Ning Shi knew that he had something to say to everyone, so she naturally knew what to do, so she immediately asked Nanny Chen to lead her. back down.

Su Chengzhi solemnly announced a few things.

The first thing is to recognize the ancestors and return to the clan, which is the most important and biggest thing after the Su family came to Beijing.

Su Chengzhi told everyone what was agreed in the study of the Zhen Guogong Mansion today. Although his wife and children may not be able to do their best in this matter, he also hopes that his wife and children can know what they are doing.

Today, after Lu Jinkang and the men of the Zhen Guogong's mansion withdrew from the study, the Zhen Guogong only left Su Chengzhi and Ning Zhongping behind. After negotiating with the two of them, he invited Mrs. Shi to the study, and several people shut the door They talked for another half an hour, and basically agreed on the procedures for the Su family to recognize their ancestors and return to their clan. As for the date, Shi and Mrs. Lu had to go back to discuss with the clan.

The second matter is the application of Su Zexuan and Su Zechen to Baiming Academy, which is related to the future inheritance of the Su family, so it is naturally a major event.

The Mongolian children's class of Baiming Academy only recruits two classes in autumn, and the exam will be held five days after registration, and the registration date will be tomorrow.

Knowing that the two brothers of the Su family were going to apply for Baiming Academy, Lu Jinkang collected a lot of useful information for the brothers of the Su family after returning home yesterday.

If it wasn't for Su Chengzhi's announcement, the two brothers would have plunged into the study when they returned to their home on Huayang Street from the Zhen Guogong Mansion.

The third matter is about Su Yunduo.

The supply of preserved eggs in the palace cannot be cut off. Now that people have settled down in the capital, workshops for making preserved eggs have to be started quickly.

Su Yunduo felt that this matter was not difficult, as long as he had money to make preserved eggs, he could go to a few more shops and buy them all, not to mention that Lu Jinkang communicated with her today.

Lu Jinkang has already purchased some duck eggs, and some ingredients needed for pickling preserved eggs. The address of the workshop has been temporarily set at two places, and he is waiting for Su Yunduo to take a look to confirm the address, and then choose the one that suits him best. people can start working.

There are always several large and small battles in the border town every year, and naturally the injured and disabled retreat from the border town.

After these personal soldiers retreated, the Government of Zhen Guo made proper arrangements as much as possible. Now they basically do what they can in the Zhuangzi everywhere. The manpower needed by the workshop can be selected from these personal soldiers or family members.

Su Yunduo made an appointment with Lu Jinkang. Tomorrow, he will send his two younger brothers to Baiming Academy to enroll and then go to choose a site together.

On the carriage back to Huayang Street from Zhen Guogong Mansion, Su Yunduo once said that he would send Su Zexuan and Su Zechen to Baiming Academy to enroll tomorrow. Today is the time for me to join the job, tomorrow you can do your own work, I will take Brother Xuan and Brother Chen to sign up."

After marinating preserved eggs, it takes a month to ripen. Currently, there are not many stocks in stock. In addition to supplying the palace, some have to be spared for other purposes.

Although Su Yunduo wanted to see Baiming Academy very much, he still understood that there were priorities. If he had to send his two younger brothers to register before going to implement the workshop, the time seemed too tight, so he didn't consider it. After a while, he nodded.

Su Chengzhi only wanted to say these three things. Seeing that Su Chengzhi had nothing else to say, Su Zexuan and Su Zechen went to their small study to study.

The next days will be quite busy, Su Yunduo decided to arrange the servants in the house while there is still some time today.

Today at the Zhen Guogong Mansion, the servants Ning and Su Yunduo had a brief exchange with Mrs. Lu.

Although Mrs. Lu felt that 44 servants were not too many for a family of six, she was not displeased with Ning's proposal to reduce the number of servants. The final say.

Although these servants were all selected by Mrs. Lu's mansion or dowry village, the old lady did not choose them one by one, so there was no guarantee that all of them would be willing to serve in the house on Huayang Street.

Now that Mrs. Lu has already approved it, there is no need to hesitate about this matter. After Su Yunduo discussed the rules with his parents, he asked Nanny Chen to send a message to Butler Chen, informing all the servants to gather in the hall after a quarter of an hour.

Although the hall I entered was the largest hall in the house, but I squeezed into the 40-odd hall on this hot day, and it felt hot just thinking about it.

Su Yunduo decided to put more ice basins, so he asked Zisu to get some saltpeter to make some ice, put an ice basin in each corner of the hall, and added another one on each side of the table and chairs at the top. ice basin.

After these preparations were completed, almost a quarter of an hour passed.

Su Yunduo walked into the hall with her parents, and asked them to sit down at the head, while she stood behind Ning, quietly watching the servants who came one after another.

Although there were no special expressions on the faces of these servants, if one looked closely, one could always see some differences.

For example, the nun who entered the door and stood relatively close, although she seemed to be standing obediently with her hands folded, raised her eyelids and glanced up from time to time, thinking that no one would notice, she was obviously a loyal face The embarrassment of the treacherous people is of great use.

For example, the young male servant who entered the door and went straight to the front, his eyes rolling around were really annoying. Such a person is more than clever but not stable, so he is also not very useful.

Su Yunduo looked over one by one, and the roster obtained from the discussion with Ning yesterday gradually fell to specific people.

Just as the time set by Su Yunduo arrived, Su Chengzhi coughed lightly to signal Qiuxi and Zhang Pingan to close the hall door and keep their sides.

Closing the door is to isolate the heat outside, and the second is to punish those who are not punctual.

Today, apart from Nanny Chen, Zisu, and Baizhi who stayed in Sanjin to take care of the three Su Zexuan brothers, Qiuxi, Shaoyao, Banxia and four servants all had regular seats.

After closing the hall door, Su Chengzhi asked Steward Chen to determine the number of people.

Butler Chen's expression was a bit uneasy. There were thirty-eight servants in this hall, which meant that there were still three people who did not appear here in time.

Su Chengzhi looked at Steward Chen and asked gently: "Are these three people sent for something?"

Butler Chen's face turned blue and red, he didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed.

It was the first time that the master summoned the servants to speak after he entered the mansion. After he got the letter, it can be said that he personally informed everyone to remind everyone to be punctual, but unexpectedly, someone was late.

But no matter how angry and ashamed he was, he couldn't help but answer, Chen Butler naturally didn't dare to lie and shook his head and said, "There is no arrangement."

As soon as Steward Chen finished speaking, he heard knocking on the door and chattering.
