The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 88 The First Show in Beijing——Spring Banquet
Cuihua was very neat, and asked Aunt Chun to be the internal manager of Uncle Zhongqin's residence. Who said that taking care of the elderly means being idle?

There is a kind of old-age care, which is called making use of residual energy. Besides, you are only 45 years old, so you are still very young, okay?
The Yuan Mansion added ten more guards, most of them were retired from the wounded barracks, and Hei Wa was looking for those who were not seriously injured and had some kung fu.

They didn't let these people sell themselves and signed the contract of living, but they signed it for 20 years, and they were all bachelors in their twenties, which was equivalent to supporting two generations.

For those with a dead contract, they also bought 20 young men who were in charge of the stables, accountants, porters, etc.

Parents, wives, and children related to these people also bought more than 50 people, added 5 women to the kitchen, 10 women who were rough cleaners, 20 maids for teenagers, and 16 children who could be raised. indivual.

Now the Yuan Mansion is also a big family. Except Mr. Fan, Zhao Leiting, Xiaochuan, and Xiaoshan, there are only 14 masters in total, guards + servants + aunts in charge + old people (including little girls and boys) = 148 people, no I don't know, I'm shocked.

This is typical. The money earned is used to support slaves, and slaves will also marry and have children. This team will increase in the future.

These days, from buying a person, buying a car, to buying clothing materials, etc., spending money like running water has made my heart ache.

"Mother, with so many people in our family, is there enough food to eat? We also need to pay them a monthly salary. Is Dad's monthly salary enough?"

The big head also nodded: "There are too many of these people, mother, I don't want servants, they follow me, I feel uncomfortable."

The two heads are breaking their fingers again: "Mother, the story book written by my brother and I will be sold later and then I will give it to you to subsidize the family. You don't have to save it for me to marry a wife in the future. I am still young, so I can save it for a long time."

"Then our yard is so big. If we don't buy people, who will clean it? Besides, our family doesn't live in the village now. If you don't have a servant when you come in and out, it's against the rules. Let Mr. Fan explain it to you. speak."

"Second brother, your father's salary is enough to support everyone in our family, so save your little private house."

Forgive Cuihua, a peasant woman. Hey, she has never met a high-ranking person in two lifetimes. She cannot instill these class concepts by herself, so she can only rely on her husband for everything.

Although Mr. Fan lived a free and easy life and never married a wife or had children, he still has old servants and attendants. This is the dignity that a family should have, but as long as conditions permit, he has not been left behind at all.

Aunt Chun and Aunt Xia took all the maids, servants, and women to learn the rules. These are their specialties, and most of the people they bought were children. A blank sheet of paper, very good. It is convenient to establish rules.

Aunt Qiu is in charge of the seven women in the kitchen, and she is still interested in learning cooking skills with them. She has long heard that the cooking skills in the Yuan Mansion's kitchen are excellent. Come, not in a hurry.

Aunt Dong saw that Lu Xiuniang had arranged the embroidery room well, so she gave some pointers from time to time, what kind of rules should be followed when making clothes for the Lord of the Earl's House, which Lu Xiuniang doesn't know. As for what clothes should be worn on festivals or other occasions, Aunt Dong has a lot to say about the current fashion trends.

These children haven't finished learning the rules yet, but since the emperor requires all children aged three to ten to be vaccinated, it's their turn.

From Datouertou, Xiaochuan, Xiaoshan, Nannan, to the young girls and servants of the appropriate age in the mansion, they were all sent to the acne clinic in the suburbs of Beijing, and they had to stay there for half a month before returning.

Cuihua hadn't cleared up the mess until the queen's natal Weiguo Mansion sent an invitation to appreciate the flowers, mainly because she had never managed so many subordinates before, and it took some brains to divide the work well.

However, she had to attend this first invitation letter after coming to the capital, which was also the kindness of the Queen's family.

Duke of Wei’s mansion now lives in the empress’s parents, eldest brother Gao Huaide’s family, second brother Gao Huaipei’s family, and younger brother’s family. The younger brother is Gao Huaiyu. His wife and children are all in the capital. Island training.

General Gao returned the military power to his son-in-law early on, and he was considered an honorary support when he arrived in the capital. The boss and the second child are also holding idle posts in the army. Except for the youngest, their family is no longer on the front line.

This Spring Flower Appreciation Banquet is also Gaofu's first show in the capital. Their family lives in a seven-entry mansion. Apart from the imperial palace, it is the best mansion in the capital, and Xu's Cheng'enguo Mansion is no match.

In mid-spring, the weather has warmed up. The twins are almost seven months old. The two babies who can already squeak can understand some instructions from their parents. They spend an hour strolling in their yard every day.

The elder brothers were not there, and the mother looked like she was about to abandon them, even the calm fifth child quit, patted the girl who was holding him, pointed at Cuihua with one hand, and uttered baby words.

Cuihua walked quickly, and went out with two maids and Nanny Chun, which was called by Aunt Chun at her request. She said that the older one should be called Nanny. He said that he would palm her eyes for fear that people would bully her.

While talking, she also showed Cuihua her strength, um, this Sister Chun is a powerful one, and she was also a child of the world before.

Cuihua murmured in her heart: Who would be so short-sighted at the banquet of the queen's natal family?She doesn't believe that kind of noble lady who picks out troubles every now and then!

After entering Duke Wei's mansion, a woman soon came to lead the way, and took Cuihua and her party to Mrs. Gao's Songhe Hall. The hall was also bustling with activity. looking at her.

this?This is the newly released Mrs. Zhongqin?Don't you mean she's a village girl?Oh my god, this appearance is so majestic and bright, it looks like a big woman at first glance!Village girls are all prettier than noble ladies like them, is there any reason?
"Quick, come here!" Mrs. Gao beckoned to her, Cuihua gathered her mind, went to Mrs. Gao, saluted and greeted her, and Mrs. Gao introduced to her one by one today's few people, the Marquis, the Earl Mrs., Mrs. General, etc.

Everyone also greeted Cuihua, and a general's wife held her hand: "Come, come, Mrs. Zhongqin, you are a rare visitor. Few of us in the capital have seen you. I saw you today." But let’s compare our daughter-in-law, she’s so beautiful!"

Someone answered: "Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Yuan is not only good-looking, but also very good at cooking in the mansion. That boy of mine came back from the banquet in Yuan's mansion, and he couldn't forget it for many days. Mrs. Yuan, who is your cook?" Where did you invite it, why is it so powerful?"

"Yes, yes, my kid said the same thing, Mrs. Yuan, you can't hide your secrets."

If you want to ask everyone's impression of Uncle Zhongqin's mansion, apart from the fact that the men in the family can make a fuss, isn't the rest just about cooking?

Cuihua nodded to this group of ladies who were not yet well-known, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your support of Yuan Fu's cooking skills, but it's just something from the countryside, and the ingredients are fresh, so it's hard for everyone not to dislike it." , the next time we have a banquet at home, we must invite the distinguished guests to Dali Village for a gathering."

Mrs. Gao asked several daughter-in-laws to greet the crowd, and she took Cuihua to the small hall by herself, let Cuihua sit beside her, and made daily routines with her. She also asked the twins emphatically, expressing her admiration.

"Your family is really prosperous. I heard that these two little ones are very strong. Next time, bring them for me to see. People of our age, alas, only fat babies are rare."

"Mrs. Lao, you are thinking about it. They were still noisy when they went out, but they dare not take them out now, because they are afraid of something unsatisfactory and they will cry loudly. When they can run and talk, they will bring them back for you to see. That's when it's fun."

"Haha, okay, okay, it's hard for you, a good boy. The queen told me that the oyster sauce shop you set up for her can bring her a lot of income in a year!"

"This girl in my family didn't like money in the past. How many times have I told you that I still don't care. You only know how powerful you are when you have money and short hands. How much help you have done to her! I really want to take care of her." thank you!"

"Old madam, I'm ashamed of you saying that. I was on the road and taught many people how to cook, and the tuition fee was only 100 taels. But empress, I only taught this recipe, she But you gave me three Zhuangzi, but they are all high-end places, the empress is too generous."

"How can this be compared? Your prescription is a hen that lays eggs. I know, I know, you guys are good friends, and I also ask you to visit her from time to time. There are five sentences about your family, when I saw you today, I really hit it off."

Mrs. Gao knows her daughter's problems, and she is usually not enthusiastic. It is rare to have someone she likes, and she likes Cuihua at the first sight. Went to meet a lot of ladies.

The noble ladies who often come out to socialize in the capital really don't have many white goals, no matter how big their opinions are on you, they won't jump out to attack people with great fanfare, and Cuihua can immediately pretend that they don't understand After a few times, people will understand what kind of person she is.

For those who are curious about her man's cement workshop, she immediately said that she doesn't understand half of the man's work outside, how can you let others ask.

Cooking skills, which one doesn't have a dedicated cook, and which one doesn't have a few specialty dishes that don't pass on secret recipes?
Let's talk about the children, the current boys in the Yuan Mansion are not very old, and their family doesn't have any in-laws in the city, so it's too hard to find a topic.

After lunch, she watched Mrs. Gao push Pai Gow before leaving. When she was leaving, Mrs. Gao gave her a cart of gifts, saying that they were for the dolls of the Yuan family, and she was not allowed to refuse. What a rewarding day.

Ladies: I didn't expect you to be such a Mrs. Yuan!It's too difficult to talk, is there anything!
